Ellen Mahaffy
University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire
Department:
Communications
Professors: Respond to evaluations by creating an account
For communications, she lacks at it greatly. Very confusing with expectations. Changes deadlines but doesn't tell you until its too late and the assignment is already done. Plays favorites in the classroom. For being a photography teacher, she never showed off her work....which is something I think a photography teacher should do. If you didn't have her sense of art/style while photographing, she down graded you for it. Very picky for being a beginning photo class. Also, for being a beginner photo class, she expected us to know A LOT about photography terminology. Made us spend a lot more money than the class intended for.
This is by far the WORST professor I have ever had. She has terrible communication skills for a Communications teacher. She grades the assignments far too strictly maybe to compensate for the pointlessness of the class. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HER.
