Comment:

This professor is one of those professors you don't want to not take. She is a breath of fresh air. I enjoyed her classes. It was DIFFERENT. Not the mundane old traditional educational style of teaching, but hands-on work, which can be beneficial to your life. I love her office hours. It amazing to know how phenomenal this woman is.

Great professor! She's really caring and helpful, and her lectures are both interesting and useful. She really wants to help you speak well and improve yourself. She's not playing around with her grades though--she definitely sticks strong to the rubric, so practice is your friend.

Helps you through your speeches, gives you good feed back, inspires you to do better, and offers you alternate assignments to make up work.

Comment:

Work leading up to the two required speeches is very easy. Very picky professor when it comes to grading your speeches. She gives no wiggle room. Her feedback on appearance is judgmental. Don't wear makeup (not even minimal) for your speeches. She doesn't think it's "professional" (her feedback). Ace the HW, fail the speeches & still pass with a B.

Only three speeches throughout the entire class. You have a couple of extra credit opportunities. Their are some quizzes that are graded but they are super easy. Hardly any homework. Easy class

Really sweet and caring professor. I felt like she was kind of a tough grader though, made you really work hard in here, however, she was extremely helpful and made the classroom environment very comfortable and enjoyable

Very easy class but she barely offers any extra credit assignments so if you fall off track, it can be tough to get back on. The total amount of her assignments adds up to 500 points (including the exam which is worth a hundred) which sounds like a lot but really isn't. If you take her class, make sure you can record videos of yourself!

Comment:

This online class is not too hard. It is organized and easy to keep up with. Each week you have some reading, videos, and usually a discussion/quiz on the reading. Long grades quickly and so you know how you are doing. There is one short speech at the end, but it is really easy. Since it is required, this is not a bad way to get it done.

Comment:

I was really nervous about taking speech with no friends. But, you end up really talking to a lot of new people. the proffessor had a full on conversation with me the first day of class. Speeches are based off whatever you want it to be. Fun class and would love to take it again.

Professor Long is really good at teaching speech, but you have to be there. The reading is not required. I haven't heard of a better option, especially at East campus.

Comment:

Professor Long is a very caring and encouraging teacher. She works with her students to put their nerves about public speaking at ease. Most of the work she assigns is prep for speeches. There are a few textbook assignment (the book was free online). She is a truly outstanding teacher and makes sure you leave with valuable life skills.

Professor Long had a difficult class to teach considering it was a speech class,the students were just fine since all are honors in this specific class. She made the setting comfortable and was clear on her expectations but she is a tough graded and makes you work for your grade.

Prof. Long does everything she can to make everyone feel relaxed and confident in a class that is nerve wracking for most. I think she grades a bit tough however, if you put in effort and show her you care she will make sure you succeed.

Comment:

Prof. Long has a way to start off every class in an interesting matter. The ambiance is very relaxed, ethical, professional and rather soothing to say the least. She is incredibly understanding with students who have anxiety when giving speeches; if there is a moment you feel like you don't want to go, she will skip you until you're ready.
