COMM 3410

Took this class last sem, Sherri Moore's definitely one of the best profs I've come across, and this class is totally worth taking. She's really clear in class and provides nice little anecdotes to explain her points, so as long as you go to every class, take notes religiously, and truly understand the content (live and breathe comm law), you should do pretty well for the exams. Her questions could seem ambiguous at times; it helps to not overthink - she has repeatedly told me/us that she's not out to trick you, and truly she isn't. It's harder to get an A now without the 10% attendance grades, but it's still a relatively manageable class. Teaches you a lot - I went in with zero knowledge of the law and learnt so much after one sem, so, yes, definitely do take it.

I took this class expecting an easy A, and while it wasn't too difficult, I didn't get an A. There is no outside work, which is nice, but the tests have very specific questions, so you really need to study to do well. The grade came from two midterms and a final, as well as weekly clicker quizzes which were pretty simple. Sherri Moore is one of the most popular professors, and she definitely lived up to expectations, but don't use your cell phone or she WILL call you out. Overall I thought it was an interesting class and pretty easy, but it could get dull at times if you're not super interested in business law.

Everyone says it, but Professor Moore is fantastic - probably the best professor here. She is so knowledgeable on the topic, she's passionate about it, and she's hilarious. She's generous with cancelling classes or quizzes, as well. She has a rule of throwing out test questions that have less than 50% of people getting them right, so she's also very fair.

There are two midterms (each worth 15%), a final (worth 50%) and 10 quizzes (worth 20%). She automatically drops your lowest quiz grade and usually offers extra credit opportunities (attending a mock trial at the law school or attending a lecture/panel) that will allow you to drop another low quiz grade.

Would 110% recommend.

Preaching to the choir here but Sherri Moore is AMAZING. She's such a likable person and professor, and makes what could easily be a dry subject entertaining with plenty of personal stories and jokes. Definitely goes beyond what a normal professor of a huge class would do to try to connect with her students. The class has almost no work besides an online quiz every Friday that is really easy if you go to every class and take good notes. Cheat sheets come in clutch for exams, but there's always a few questions that will be trickily worded or seem like that can have multiple answers--the rest is very straightforward. Studying in groups definitely helps to clear up some of the confusing topics she goes over. Overall, Sherri is the GOAT and I could not recommend this class enough.

The class is very interesting and she is hilarious. There is a weekly online quiz that is 20% of your grade. The final is 50% and the rest is split between two midterms. All are multiple choice. No homework. If you want to pass then you must go to class. An A- or B+ are doable, but an A is difficult. Both of the midterms had an 87 average and she said the final averages a 90. I would take it again.

Prof Moore's great lecturer. Not much work besides the textbook readings and attending lectures(a must!). Your grade is 80% based on the three tests

The best class i've taken at this school/in my life. Sherri is an amazing woman and if you disrespect her i will kill u because you are trash. Also, because a 95 is an A it is a little difficult but getting an A- is a walk in the park. No outside reading just pay attention and don't go on your phone or you will pay the price.

All about the notes and focusing in class. BEST professor at UVA!!!

Awesome class. Professor makes the class easy to sit through and you learn a lot without having to do much work. Highly recommend taking this class!

Sherri Moore: if you're reading this, let me first say thank you for making my semester absolutely incredible and I love you. Never before have I genuinely looked forward to coming to a class and gotten sad when I check the time and see that class is almost over. I have so many great memories from this class I could go on forever about, but what stuck out to me most was seeing you walk down the aisle to the front of the lecture hall before class started every day with your big, happy (and contagious) smile. I truly believe that you're not only the best professor at UVA, but one of the most genuine, funny, and kind people I've ever met.

I came into the class with a slight interest in law and mainly signed up for the class on a whim. However, I was thoroughly engaged in each lecture and found the material relevant and interesting. I'm not going to say it caused me to totally rethink my career path, but it did get me very interested in the world of law and wanting to learn more!

If I could take this class again, I would. Thank you, Sherri Moore, for a wonderful semester and I cannot wait to be back in a little over a month for Comm Law 2!

TL;DR, We need more Sherri Moores on this planet, and if you have any remote interest in the subject (you do), you've got to take this course.
