About this rating

Raw average: 3.86/5 from 7 quality ratings. The adjusted rating blends this with the UW review average (3.66/5), weighted as 20 additional ratings. Smaller samples stay closer to that average. Each captured review is counted once in the prior; this does not correct who chooses to leave a review.

Dominique has always shown great interest in the students in our class. She is always there for help and to meet outside her class hours to answer any questions that I have. Type of professor that UW needs more of!

Not a good class. Not a good teacher. I thought this was supposed to be a good program. Not impressed with the professors so far.

Dominique is helpful and willing to work with you, but she doesn't really seem to know much about advertising or PR, so the meetings don't help that much. She kind of talks in circles.

Dominique is one of my favorite profs. She has excellent experiance and knows how the real world operates. If her directions come off a bit vague I think it's because she doesn't want to limit your ideas. Dominique is also great at meeting outside class and she'll help you out with reccomendations and proof-reading.
