I took Comm 134, Organizational Communication, with professor Wright-Dixon. The quality of the class would have been unacceptable at a community college. She never started on time and spent the first week trying to figure how to work the iClicker. We were always behind schedule so she would fly through the lectures which were just summaries of the textbook. Stay away from her if you actually want to learn anything, but if you're looking for a class where you can just sit and zone out, then this is the one for you.
