Workload felt overwhelming at times but if you get a good group (you can pick 3/7 members) the group project is manageable and very rewarding. I learned a lot of applicable skills in this class and Kristy made the grading seem way harsher than it end up being. If you go to lecture the exam is quite easy.

COMM 125 (RMP wont let me say that class): A very caring prof who knows what they are doing. The lectures are well rounded and easy to follow, they are also posted online after class. 3 projects and a final. The projects take a long time to do, but this is a good class and has a great prof. Final wan't too hard tbh. Take this class!!!

Pretty unique course. You get assigned to a group of about six people and have to create your own marketing firm and complete assignments for a real world client. If you have a good group that evenly divides work you'll be fine. If not, good luck. I've been able to use some of the stuff I've made for this class for resumes/interviews. I recommend.

Kristy Hamilton is a great professor who is extremely knowledgable. Pretty much everything on the test can be found in her lectures. Her grading criteria is very clear and she is very fair. Her classes are interesting and applicable for future career paths in marketing/communication. I would recommend her classes anyday!

The class involves everybody being put into groups of 6-7 people to work on a marketing campaign for a business, submitting 6 assignments as a group together. If your group is hardworking and interested in marketing, you'll do great. Final exam was difficult but not impossible. I would definitely take another class with Hamilton.

Prof Hamilton is a very relatable & approachable, however, she goes through lectures very quickly. If her lectures were more slow-paced & split up, I think the information would be absorbed better, especially since knowing the material will help you understand the project better. Ms. Hamilton's email response varies--she either responds or doesn't.
