Applequist is a very nice professor! She's very kind, funny and respectful. The workload was small, but a lot of work: 3 main presentations and 3 small presentations with online homework and quizzes. You will have to take notes. There was some extra credit by attending speech events.

Ms. Appelquist is by far one of the best professors I have encountered! The class is highly graded on speeches. She has boosted my confidence tremendously in speaking in front of an audience and definitely knows what shes talking about. She is patient, extremely helpful, and as long as you show up and follow the rubrics, you will easily pass!

She is a good teacher. If you follow her instructions and create your speeches and outlines following her grading rubric, you'll do well. Just don't skip any classes and do the online hw and you'll get an easy A. Also, she offers up to 20 pts extra credit from attending events in building M. Loved her class! She likes to help, and she's caring.

She is a really nice, sweet person. However, her class is not easy to get an A in. She is not a laid back teacher. Takes her job very seriously. Attendance is MANDATORY. Makes you talk to people around you and lots of group work. If you just want to give a speech and go home and not talk to anyone, do NOT take her. Reasonable grader.

Great teacher!!! I loved Mrs. A. She was so funny and charismatic. I was very nervous to speak and she always made you feel more comfortable. She's incredibly intelligent. As long as you go to class and do your work, you will pass. Best teacher I've had at Moraine so far.

Comment:
As a shy person I am surprised how I got a B in the course. I received a B on all of my speeches because she can be picky on certain aspects of the speech. Overall, she is an easy speech professor, assigning topic proposals, outlines, and of course the main 3 speeches along with 3 mini speeches. If you do the work correctly, you'll get an A!

Incredible teacher. For the last speech, I found myself struggling and turned in an outline late. She commented on the outline telling me a bunch of sources to use for the speech and was incredibly helpful even when she didnt need to be. Fair grader, opportunities for extra credit, easy to talk to and listen to, nice to look at as well. Excellent.

Awesome teacher!! I was so nervous to take a speech class and give speeches but she made it so much easier for me. Quizzes are online, midterm online, final is easy as long as you know some of the terminology. Overall she is a blast to have as a teacher, super funny, and genuinely cares about her students. Take her!

She was very clear in her instructions. She seems to care about teaching and helping students become better speakers. I am a math guy. I dread all the COM classes, but she made it very bearable.
