Key questions
Is this an easy A?
An A is very reachable because students report easy grading paths, redo options, late-work acceptance, and manageable weekly tasks.
Online reviews emphasize re-recording speeches and A outcomes, while in-person reviews add late-work leniency and low weekly hours.
Is the course easy?
COMM1 is described as straightforward, but speeches, readings, quizzes, and weekly assignments still require steady effort.
Online evidence is more mixed because some students report busy work, while in-person evidence generally calls the class easy.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance varies because some reviews mark it mandatory while others say it is not required or only useful for speeches.
Online attendance ranges from optional to required Zoom meetings, while in-person attendance is also mixed across reviews.
Is this professor recommended?
Most students recommend her for support and fairness, but workload complaints and one negative online review lower confidence.
Both formats are mostly positive, but the online group contains the strongest workload complaint and the only clear do-not-recommend review.
