Loved this class, recitation is a huge part of grading
positive
[for real na]
I really loved this class!! It was one of my favorite classes of the sem despite the fact we had it at 9:30 am HAHAH The lessons are really insightful and Ma'am connects as much as she can to real-life applications.
If I remember correctly, her requirements are two major papers, finals orals, along with a groupwork that was a project proposal addressing a media studies issue (We only had to show a plan, no execution needed) The papers weren't too bad, considering she gives you free reign to choose your topics. Same with the group work. We also watched a few documentaries and movies (one was The Matrix) in class to connect them to the lessons, but I don't recall her ever requiring an output on them.
Recitation is a huge, huge part of the class grading. This includes in-class recitation and online discussions. The online ones aren't super difficult honestly. It can be you asking a question about the lesson/s or even suggesting an article/piece of media related to the class. In-class recit was mostly her asking us for our insights, and asking us questions. We were also welcome to ask her stuff of course! It is also a huge boost to your grade!! I got a B+ on all the written requirements but still got an A for the final grade because I recited a lot.
Overall, I say go for it!! Ma'am really nice and you'll learn a lot hehe

HEAVY requirements, not very valuable, definitely not an easy A

CourseCOMM 111
hi!! this is an older post but i wanted to contribute 🫶🏼 i didn't have her for COM 105 (sorry huhu) but had her this sem for COMM 111 creativity awareness as a core subject in 2nd year. will try to keep this as reasonable as possible.
⭐️requirements: HEAVY heavy. the heaviest course in terms of reqs i've ever taken. ~65% of our grade were only done within the last 2-3 weeks of the semester since canvas didn't allow us to open them in advance.
⭐️teaching strategies: mostly canvas discussion boards and onsite lectures
⭐️leniency with deadlines: do not expect her to be understanding all the time. she will move it, but if she doesn't want to, the class concern will be ignored
⭐️overall value of learning: a valuable course, but overpowered by the weight of requirements, not very valuable. didn't get much from this course to be honest
very knowledgable, clearly knows what she is teaching but i wouldn't take another class under her again. i suggest you do stuff as advanced as possible to avoid being overwhelmed, recite as much as you can. definitely not an easy A.more

Won't regret taking this class, A-able with effort
positive
A lot of what I would want to say was already said HAHA but you really won't regret taking this class especially if you choose to be invested in the subject. That plus Doc Ladrido gives you so much room to give your own insight and apply the theories to what you've seen outside the class. Be ready for the class to be info heavy and mindfuck, but luckily you get breaks in between your period. It's basically a class that's worth it depending on the amount of effort you put on it. Personally it's my favorite COM class <3. A-able with effort! Go for it!more

Recite every single meeting

Recite a lot. As in every single meeting. She considers questions as recitation din. So yeah. Just speak up a lot.
