Comment:
Beth knows her stuff and I love to listen to her talk, even though lecture is boring. Attendance is taken every day and you have a quiz about every week, but if you read you'll be fine. tests are HARD so study for them. Beth is funny, content is relatively understandable so if you study and read you will survive, and you only have to write 1 paper.

Dr. Messner is a wonderful professor that really knows her material. Speechwriting, however, was not a wonderful class. It was very difficult to understand exactly what Dr. Messner wanted out of her students. At the end of the say, this class will teach you how to get the voice of a speaker, and nothing really more. If you can avoid it, do.

Dr. Messner is one of the best Professors that I have ever had. She is extremely intelligent and knowledgeable. She gives thorough and helpful feedback on papers and is in general inspiring. If you don't do well in the class then it is your own fault for not doing the reading and in general being a poor student.

Although she is an expert in her field, her passion and knowledge does not translate into being a good professor. You will sit through her awful 50 minute lecture three days a week, take pretentious quizzes, and insanely hard exams. The average score for our class on exam 2 was a D. If your students are doing that poorly, it's your fault. Bad!!!!!

She is very nice and passionate about her job, but her class is very old-fashioned. Every single class period follows the same pattern, which gets very boring so its hard to pay attention. However, she truly wants her students to do well and she makes a point to learn everyone's name. Just stay awake and take notes and you will do fine!

Nice person, but her tests are hard and she takes a while to respond if you email her. Lectures are boring but if you don't go, you won't get the notes. Have a friend in the class with you.

She isn't helpful and everyone hates the class. If over half of your class isn't doing well then it's you... Not the students.

She's smart and knows what she's talking about. She does like to explain things throughly but gets off topic too often.
