Practical assignments in crisis com. Wrote a crisis plan for a real client, video news release w/green screen, analyzed crisis & how to respond. Assignments posted on the schedule, in the assignment section, and she sends announcements in case you forget. Guest speakers with emergency/crisis experience. Loved Crisis Du Jour!

Comment:
She was so disorganized she didn't know what she had planned from day to day. The class received critical requirements on the final project in the last class before it was due (48 hrs notice). Homework could be posted in one of three locations on the internet. Final exam material is never covered in class.

Comment:
I am a Republican & did a pro gun speech. Got an A. Lots of people in my class did speeches on conservative topics. It's Riddle. Didn't matter. If it was good, you got a good grade. She lectures on speech, not politics. She's funny too. Follow the outline format & rubric. Don't miss class. No one needs therapy is her saying. Fun class-interactive

Do not take this class unless you are a democrat. She will impose her political views on you on a daily basis and it can be awkward when she is clearly bad mouthing people that you support politically.

Comment:
Dr. DeTore sets the standard that other professors should follow when instructing a class. She is incredibly knowledgeable with the subject matter and expects her students to meet the effort she puts into teach with effort on learning the subject material. This is not a course to earn an easy A, if you want to do well work for it.

Absolutely loved Professor Detore! If you put effort into your speeches, and you listen to what she has to say in class, you will pass easily! Make sure to prepare your speeches ahead of time, and actually consider the feedback she gives you.

Why is there not another teacher like her in the school? Just her happiness to be in the class with us made me look forward to it every day. I honestly walked into class for the first time frustrated that I had to pay so much for a gen. ed. course, but I am so glad to have made a memory with my class.

As long as you show up, and follow her rubric EXACTLY the way it is laid out, you will get an A or B

Professor Detore's class is a must take! She explained everything clearly and kept the class engaged! To me, just the idea of me taking a speech class used to bother me but she changed that. She has her own excellent teaching style. She encourages us to motivate each other. She's knowledgable and intelligent and you wont regret taking her class.

Comment:
As an engineering major, this class was frustratingly work-filled. I am a competent orator, but Professor Detore unnecessarily critiques the tiniest aspects of your speeches. Take extra credit when she offers it, and be prepared for a lot of work. Her instructions can be very unclear, and requirements may be arbitrarily thrown out the window.

Excellent humanities professor. The lecture are fun and amazing. Make sure DO NOT skip the class if you want to pass the class. Read and watch the video the assign each day by day. The essay are a little bit tough in grading but if you have accumulate other scores including extra credits. You will earn an A in the class.

For starters, nothing is clear about when an assignment is due therefore I must ask her or email her every time she assigns something. Her feedback is virtually non-existent. If you want a class to sit in for an hour and be on your tablet the whole time and walk out feeling not guilty? take her. Assigned papers have virtually no rubric.

Comment:
She tends to be very rude to students. She mumbles and speaks quietly and as a person with difficulties hearing, it can be a pain. She goes off topic a lot and barely gives us lessons. She gives out a lot of group projects and right when you thought you had a break from them, you'll have another one just a few days after. Do not recommend.

Excellent teacher. She helps clarify when you are having trouble with making your speeches. She has some quizes, a mid term and a final, but all are done through Blackboard, so you can use the textbook. Nice and can be funny at times. I would highly recommend taking her

I absolutely loved this class. Humanities was an amazing class because 1) It had literary monsters in it. 2) She's amazing at explaining and clarifying 3) She's a great looking lady (I am a girl) 4) She's extremely smart about what she teaches 5) Lowest grade was an 86 on papers 6) I am taking her for Speech!
