Past Student Feedback
- Professor Buzan did a great job with the discussion participation. I really appreciated that she brought in additional relevant topics to the threads each week. With social media changing so quickly I think this is a wonderful addition to the typical online discussion.
- The most helpful part was the feedback from Kristen Buzan. I think she has done the best job of any of my professors to date in providing valuable feedback.
- I loved the "Learning through Doing" part of this course. Building a social media plan and having feedback through each step was wonderful. I never felt overwhelmed with the assignment. I felt as though I had time to work through my issues and thoughts before moving onto the next step. The professor offered great feedback and was extremely attentive concerning my understanding and learning throughout the course. I would recommend her to any of my cohort. This was my favorite class, hands down!
