She is a red hat classy woman. She demands your attention but in a sweet hell of a way. She was my favorite professor who stood out to me.

Comment:

Gayle scared me on the first day, and I really did not like her at first. Later on in the class she got softer and really was as helpful as possible. It was a great public speaking class for someone who is not excited to speak in front of others. We had 4 speeches overall, and they were very laid back.

Comment:

Mrs. Martin is a great professor. She gives great feedback to make you more confident in your public speaking skills but she also lets you know what you could improve on. She is usually very sweet but she does have the moments where she can get kind of snippy with people. And she doesn't take any crap from anyone. I would definitely recommend her.

Gayle is an extremely good teacher. She made sure to make us students feel comfortable in giving the speeches and gave us all a clear idea of what needed to be done. The tests are very short and not hard as long as you listen during classes.

She is a wonderful person, but you really never know what kind of mood she'll be in. Sometimes she is very friendly and easygoing, other times she'll get rather snippy. Fair grader and really cares about her students.

Gayle brightens up everyones day. Gets your hopes up for cancelling class but always shows up. Makes class really fun and has a great sense of humor. Rarely go to end of class unless we have speeches. But she doesnt post any grades online.

Comment:

I think she is a great teacher, kinda wild and spirited. Very opinionated, but enjoys her work. I took her as a Dual Enrollment student still in high school, and it was fun and easy. You don't really need the textbookk at all, so if you don't buy it make sure you take her notes.
