She is pretty intimidating at first which makes you want to drop the class immediately. She has a very different style of lecturing that is very slow, dramatic, and tends to digress a lot. If you stick with her though, you'll realize that she's not as bad as she seems - kind of cute and funny actually. Especially with this class where she only is there for you to learn, she will answer any of your questions about actual careers that are available to Comm majors. She seems to have connections everywhere and knows just about everyone or at least can name almost every noteable person in the field. This class helped me a TON to know more real-life knowledge about careers as a TV and movie producer, agent, writer, and manager. Also, since she knows a lot of people, she has a lot of hookups to internships in any field that you can want. Take the class and actually show up because it's worth your while!

Spring 2017 - Super easy way to get internship credit- you don't even need to have an internship to be in the class, you just need to be actively looking. You write a few mini projects throughout the quarter based on the # of units you want for the class. They are all super easy. Example projects are writing a daily journal of tasks at your internship or interviewing a staff member. Online it says lecture is 3 hours but it is really around 1 hour. There are guest speakers most weeks. You only have to go to like 7 lectures. Final is just a 4 page paper about your internship. Syllabus says like 10 page paper, but its really only 4 pages.
