Comment:

She is a bad teacher. If we were writing a speech, she would make us start on a new speech that is for the next unit. We have to take learning curves (quizzes) that don't go along with the class. We never use our textbooks. The midterm and finals don't correlate with what we learned in class. She is also a very rude person.

I was very nervous to take a speech class and I am very glad i took it with her. She grades fairly and tries to give good feedback. She offers lots of help on speeches and cancels class a lot for work days. Easy A, 100% recommend Lori Durbin!

Comment:

Hypocritical grader.... Isn't friendly, and when I tried to come by and explain myself on my speeches she just shoots you down like you're an idiot... I've never given a teacher a bad report, but this was just awful. I thought this would actually be a more enjoyable gen ed but she just makes you want to not go to class.

I mean this is a general education course and Lori knows that. She tries really hard to give you good examples to go by. You have a ton of chances to get extra credit points!! She is more than willing to give help on any speech. Let's you miss up to 3 days without a penalty and you get A LOT of "work days" so you don't have to go to class.

Comment:

I have had her for both a full semester class and a summer course. If you are going to take her class, make it a full semester course. She is not as good in the summer. Goes at a lightning pace, and expects you to absorb all of the info the way you would if you had the full semester and not just 3 to 4 weeks.

She is the most amazing professor ever. She will work with you on all of your problems. Her speeches are really easy and she grades easy. She will work with you if you need to be gone or take your final at a different time.

She is very nice, though intimanating at times. She is always willing to help you. She also gives you leeway. I once did a paper that went with my speech wrong, and she let me redo it for full credit. She is very praising too. I recommend her!

She talks too fast, and way too worried about her looks to help. She is very stern about what is on the paper. Go by the sylabus and her notes and you'll do fine.

Fun and easy teacher! She may give notes a little fast, but if you print them off before hand you will be fine.

Comment:

Durbin is a great teacher, just try on the speeches and do the online quizes and you'll do fine. It's an easy A class if you just try. She pretty much tells us every question on the final and midterm. Everybody says the midterm is a killer, but I found it quite easy.

Comment:

Lori was always really helpful when I had questions. She also grades very easy (at least in my opinion). I hate speaking to groups, but her class made me a lot more comfortable with it. As long as you do your quizzes and follow her outlines, you'll. I don't see how anyone could get lower than an A.
