Lectures can be a bit muddled but full of video clips and cell phone survey questions. 3 simple 2 page writing assignments and a 5 page final paper. The 2 exams had tricky questions, but just study the lecture slides. Highly recommended class! Steph Edgerly was a great TA.","source_url":"https://www.ratemyprofessors.com/professor/1520973","quality_rating":4.0,"difficulty_rating":2.0},{"observed_at":"2026-09-07 16:32:11.080366+00:00","run_id":"20260907T155543-ce3781c4","source_review_id":"UmF0aW5nLTM5NTg3MzQz","source_instructor_id":"rmp:3020302","instructor_name":"Jisoo Kim","course_label":"Journ565","course_id":"JOURN 565","course_uid":"course_660259cd29f0cc1268158fd8","review_date":"2024-06-22 04:37:03 +0000 UTC","comment":"To say Jisoo is an amazing professor would truly be an understatement.

Prof. Fair keeps it interesting...especially her lecture on****. She's quirky and accessible, but she has no overhead notes and just talks from memory, so going to lecture is a must.
