Valencia made a huge mistake ! One of the best teachers I have ever had period! I learned so much because of her knowledge and enviroment that she maintained in the classroom. You're the best Ms. Samocki

Professor Samocki was a great professor. She made speech class so much fun and she really helped me overcome my fear of rejection and nervousness. This is her last semester at Valencia but she will be dearly missed! :)

Basically, Ms. Samocki is what Barbie aspires to be when she grows up. She's incredibly fun and easy going. She makes the class interesting and helps people set their fears about public speaking aside.

Best speech class and teacher! You do have things to do online, but they're so simple that you just have to take the 20-30 minutes to get them over with. She's very clear what she wants on the speeches and grades very fair. She has a great sense of humor and will help you with whatever you need. She also gives you the oppurtunity to do a lot of ext

Most of the reviews on here make the class sound like an automatic A, but it's not. You have to keep up with the work & even though it's all pretty easy, there's ALOT of it. Professor Samocki is a great, great professor though & she's very helpful, friendly, & funny. Plus, she always looks fierce as heck. :) Just do ALL the work & you'll get an A.

If your worried about taking speech, take her! She's amazing,really helpful and answers emails super quick. Hybrid class has a lot of hw assignments,but if you put effort and time into them, you'll ace them. I found my grade centered more on effort and time put into the assignments/speeches rather then my public speaking ability. Received a high A.

Professor Samocki is a great professor! Speech is not typically anyones favorite class but she makes the class much easier and less stressful. I took her hybrid class. There was work that you need to keep up with but not too much. only 3 speeches and an interview. She is very good at emailing back and doing whatever she can to help! SHE IS AWESOME!

If you are shy or lazy this class is not for you! This clas you need to talk and stay on top of things by talking to the teacher or talking to other students. Teacher is very good on emailing back fast and answering your questions. Get to learn a lot from others and their speeches. As well as learn from your mistakes and fix them.

You will not need the book for her class, just the class packet which is 8 dollars. The class is easy! They only thing I would see a bit hard would be understanding the class work somethings on webct. The best way is to talk to her face to face and she will help you right on it right away! It helps to talk and well as ask other in class.

Okay, there is a difference between being a nice person and being a good professor. Samocki is nice but a crappy professor. She doesn't teach anything, she made a little workbook for you so that she could avoid having to actually teach. Way too many speeches, way too much work, way too much due all the time. And she talks about herself nonstop!

Could not have asked for a better teacher. I've been putting Speech of for almost 2 years & was so scared to take it but she makes it so easy and the enviroment is comfortable. Online portion is super easy and she always replies to emails. SOOO Many EC chances, she grades fair..Barely used the book-so I say don't buy it. But she was amazing!

obviously no one wants to take speech and ms samocki knows that. she makes giving your speeches comfortable and you will never feel intimidated by her ever. there are three main speeches, a group speech and your final is a group project in interview form. i thought i was going to hate this class, and i am so sad to leave it! TAKE PROFESSOR SAMOCKI!
