A huge wake-up call for my grammar and writing skills. I found out how little I knew about grammar very quickly, but also learned/corrected those mistakes quickly because the professor was so great. Definitely a necessity for any student, especially one looking to pursue communication.

Grammar rules and how to correctly apply them in different styles of writing/communicating

She was great! She provided great feedback on the few assignments we had to turn in and she offered a couple of highly informative review sessions prior to major exams. She also was quick to reply to emails and help you with any issues. She is clearly an experienced teacher and knows how to word things to make them sound easy and not talk to you like you're dumb.

Take good notes, take your time on those notes and taking the quizzes, STUDY FOR THE EXAMS, forget every grammar rule you learned previously

You'll learn so much, it's definitely stuff that will stick with you forever.

Grammar but going back and reconstructing everything you've ever known

She's honestly so sweet and wants you to do well

Get ready to join the struggle bus and question your entire education

Can be boring but can also be very tough, depending on how experienced you are with the concepts.

Lots of media work using the programs within the Adobe Cloud.

Slow grader, but very kind, patient.

just stay on top of the work and ask questions

It is supposed to be difficult. Expect to do bad on the practice quizzes and not understand at first. However, watch all the videos and ATTEND THE KAHOOT REVIEWS. They are lengthy but so worth it. I took my exam right after attending them and went from making a C on the practice quiz to an A on the actual test.

What you are learning is so important for any professional so take this class seriously and it will serve you well. I went from hating grammar to this being my favorite class.

She is truly a gem. Do not shy away from asking for help if you need it. She is beyond happy to help and a great explainer. She wants you to do your best!

Prepare your butt of for the grammar section. Then once you get to the writing section re-read your work, have someone else read your work, re-read your work again. Don't use AI, but do everything in your power to make sure there are no silly mistakes. It seems daunting but Renee makes it a great class!
