the class isn't hard, but it's not necessarily easy. there's a lot to know, but it's all fairly simple stuff. get a good TA and you should be fine, take Gomez as a your TA; she's cute and cool!
bring your laptop and type all the slides, and the examples she gives. Read book and before midterm/final go back and add the stuff not covered (she tells u what they are) and you should be fine. The class isnt hard, its just that you need to know EVERYTHING
I loved Comm 1! Mullin is fun to listen to and the material is so applicable to life. For those of you thinking about majoring in Comm, this is pretty much what the UD is like. Heavy emphasis on lectures. Multiple choice tests and two papers. Go to class and you'll be fine.
must go to lecture otherwise it is nearly impossible to pass. great lecturer, loves what she does and knows what she's talking about but her mc exams are KILLER. just take notes on everything(!!) she says and you should be ok. busted my ass for a B+ in comm1 and got a B- in comm89 since i had a very difficult TA (paper grades are up to them)
She was so difficult and terrible I changed my major. The test are specifically made to trick the student instead of to test the student. The average grade for the midterm was a C+/B-. Sadly, in order to get into the Communication Major you HAVE to take her because she is the only teacher that teaches the class
The tests are super hard and I always felt like she was trying to trick us. If you are not 100% certain about your answer choice, YOU WILL FAIL! BUT, she's super helpful during office hours and she's nice. The rest of the grades are up to the TA. Skim the readings but don't bother trying to go in depth.
love her and her lectures are interesting- BUT shes mean when it comes to tests and it just seems like she's trying to trick you into getting some questions wrong.
She was okay. Until Her Comm 89 paper for Spring '09 was the most ridiculous, stupid, impossible to complete thing ever. Dolly went from hot to not after this paper.
She is very informative, and quite funny. Be prepared for her exams though...very difficult. They ake you second guess yourself constantly, even if you know the material well. Still, she is nice so overall I recommend the class, just stay on top of your game!
Don't know why everybody keeps saying she's difficult. I've had harder high school teachers. She's actually pretty easy if you go to class and take good notes (NOT just the stuff on the slides). NEVER skip lecture; most of the material on the midterm/final come from there (not the reading). Great professor. Super clear, entertaining, and helpful.
People give her grief, but her classes are really easy if you know what to do. Take notes on what she says in class and that's it. Don't even bother buying the books, I didn't read a single page and got an A in all 4 courses I had with her. Just study what she said about the theories and you'll ace the tests. Papers are up to your TAs.
Okay, where to begin? Alright so Mullin is a very passionate Professor in her field. The class was hard. Tests are pretty much based on what she says during lecture. Papers are hard, but reading can be interesting at times. It's kind of ridiculous to think that most of the stuff taught is pretty much common sense. Avoid TA LIPP!
Love Mullin. Do the reading, understand all concepts, and the m/c tests are not that bad. AVOID ta Becca Speer...she's terrible
I really didn't like the multiple choice test system. It's one of those things where you either "get it" or you don't. I'm an honors student and this class was pretty challenging. Every lecture you miss is 3-4 questions off the midterm. Basically, you have to go to every lecture and really understand the concepts.
Prof. Mullin is very entertaining and straightforward. Tests are fairly easy if you go to lecture. Paper grades depend on your TA, good luck with getting an easy one!
The papers are graded harshly, and the midterms/final are so difficult! The curve will either save or murder you!
Pretty hard class. A lot of homework due in section, almost weekly. Unless you want homework and papers to be a weekly routine in your life, Don't take Comm 1 & Comm 88 together! Two papers and 1 MT and 1 Final. My TA was ok...find a good one, maybe ask Mullin before the semester starts? This class defintely requires alot of studying.
She seems to be a caring/motivated professor. Course material isn't hard to grasp. Her M/C tests are what shes known for, pretty tricky. Two papers, 1 MT and 1 Final. You don't really use the book all that often. My TA was pretty good, Bernadette G, I'd recommend her.
As a result of the fact that they are trying to get people to drop the major, Dolly keeps some of the most ridiculous teaching standards. Her T.A's don't know how to grade and prepare students. Review sessions were a joke. My main issue with her is that her teaching style isn't enacted by her T.A.'s. I really didn't enjoy Comm 1 and Comm 88.
Very important to go to lectures, even tho they're super early. Most of her tests are based on lectures and are on applying concepts, not just knowing them. It's not a hard class just take the time to understand the concepts and examples.
Class is difficult. Tests and papers are very hard like people have said. However, the material is interesting. Mullin is funny and memorable. Overall I recommend the class with this prof, just study your ASS off.
She is very committed to this class and what is taught in this class. Great and intelligent professor. I recommend if our gunna take this class do not fool around and take things seriously. Be there daily, do the readings, and seek help. I did all this and i got a B in the class. And I truly did learn things in this class and enjoyed it :)
Great professor. I love the way she lectures. Never fell asleep in class eventhough its a morning class. Don't take TA Speer (hint: Assigned paper).
Lectures were extremely interesting and her passion for her subject shows. The class is very helpful in everyday life, but the tests tend to be difficult.Beware for the midterm & final!
