I will never take her class again. She is the most unorganized professor, always change hw due date, and always change schedule. I felt very confused all the time in her class.

She is funny in class, but she does not like students who skip classes a lot. Attend the class and make some effort, it will be an easy A.

I took her class online. It was the extremely easy and interesting class. Assignments were clear and easy to do. I have taken many classes and almost never liked my professors, I really liked her. I would like to recommend this online class for student who like to work a little hard and get their stuff done on time.

Comment:

Terribly awkward and confusing professor. Not clear what she wants. Her group projects are a terrible idea. She is not willing to do her job as a professor. She often cancels classes and is often not prepared. However she expects you to read her mind and to know exactly what she wants. I don't recommend her class!

I like her. I thought she was going to be a tough instructor, but she's not. Just know that we do have many classworks and presentations in class therefore you can't be absent as often. However, we do have days where she couldn't come to class. Like 6x. She's a nice instructor though :)

Comment:

Course work and expectation are not clear. Assignment due dates are changed regularly so you never know when anything is due. She never replies to emails yet stressed in the syllabus how important good communication via email will be since this is an online course. missing links and assignments.

Comment:

Flighty, unsupportive, vindictive, lacking clarity, and impossible to please, and these are her good traits. Don't get sick or have an emergency as you will have no support. ADA students be warned; she gives no exception to illness and regards handicaps as HER inconvenience, not a real problem. WARNING: Take the class with someone else.

Comment:

Not only was she consistently late to class she seems to be unclear with her homework explanation. For teaching a public speaking class she seems unfocused and not very good at explaining things to students. I didn't learned nothing in this class. I learn more about "Public Speaking" when googling the topic.

Comment:

This teacher singles out weak students and attacks them in subtle ways. I was very surprise to continually watch this happen. I was not the only person that noticed. She did not explain anything and was rude when questioned. I would not recommend this class AT ALL.

Comment:

She's a very nice lady and give great feed back on speeches. It is super hard to get a good grade in her class due to imperfect speeches. I recommend coming to class everyday to get to know your classmates because it helps as a speaker. Just her grading is unfair since no speech are meant to be perfect especially in an intro class.

Had a great time in her class. She was helpful as long as you were a consistent student who showed any sort of interest in becoming a better public speaker. Highly recommend her class to anyone

Comment:

The instructions are uncleared and confusing. Sometimes she changes the requirements of the assignments without giving clear instructions. When some students ask her questions, she seems annoyed and she answers with a mean tone. I did not really learn useful stuff in this class.
