Comment:

Anthon is a strict grader and assigns a lot of work. She has weekly speeches that require hours of preparation and must be done with no mistakes. She has two group projects, including a little play as your final grade. For SPC1608, you're better off taking an easier, laidback professor. Speech is important, but not as important as she makes it.

Professor Anthon, was pretty good. There is group work in the class. And she doesn't accept absences, even if you have a doctors note. The majority times you can be absent is 3. Its an easy A as long as you follow the instructions on how to do the outline. It's recommended you go to the writing center before you turn in your outline. Overall easy A

Comment:

Not the worst, but definitely not the best professor. She's an extremely tough grader, her system is very confusing; doesn't put in any of the grades, you are expected to keep track of all of it. Had quite a few speeches and a lot to do for each of them, and only about a week to prepare. She can also be rude and unfair, I wouldn't recommend her.

Shes a pretty strict teacher but i recommend her, She makes you do two big group projects which are very fun and worth a lot of points, If you dont do the Assignments you will fail,the class is based off outlines and speeches, but shes very good at giving lectures so it wont be hard if you pay attention. I definitely recommend her.

Love her! This class is an easy A if you don't skip class and listen in class. She does give clear instructions. Some people are just negligent and like to blame her for things. I love giving speeches in her class. Only 2 group assignments. I really improved in public speaking after this class. A lot of extra credit opportunities.

That she is a tough teacher, and that you have to do everything her way. I think that she's not clear enough on the grading for the assignment. She has helped me get better with speaking.

Comment:

She is a pretty nice lady, but she is very strict. Definitely does not like when students arrive late. She does give extra credits, also if you have no absence. Kind of a tough grader but as long as you do the outlines following her instructions, you will be fine. She is a good professor and gives extra credits, but she is kinda strict.

Honestly, as long as you do your work and have eveything she asks for it's an easy A. There 1-2 test in the whole class, I used my book as refrence when writting my outlines and prepering for speeches other then that I didn't do the readings she assigned and still got an A in the class. she is a very nice lady and everything's in the syllabus. :)

She is so nice. All you have to do is participate a lot and she will like you. It is a lot of group work. You only have to do 4 speeches and they are fairly easy. Never gives tests and quizzes are easy if you read the main points in the chapters. She does have long lectures but her voice is so sweet. You can earn so much extra credit.

Comment:

If you want an engaging professor, please save yourself and choose somebody else. You will sit there listening to the most boring stories, in a dull voice. She is conventional and simple minded, which makes class hard to sit through for me. She can be nice, but rude if you do something stupid. Overall she's a good person, but i wouldn't recommend.

Professor Anthon gives many extra credit opportunities. She also allows you to email her your work, so she can tell you what you need to do better. This professor is very helpful, I recommend her!

Comment:

She makes the class into some kind of hybrid speech and writing class. Prepare to do more speeches and writing assignments than what is necessary. She assigns reading assignments instead of actual homework covering the chapters. Also, she doesn't even provide a stapler for students to use. Do yourself a favor and take someone else.

Great professor, She is a sweet lady and very kind to her students. You have to read the text that she assigns, or else you might be kind of lost. Speeches are simple and you don't have to write them out, but there is a lot of busy work and Outlines. just be prepared to show up to class and write! And its an easy A!!

I would not pick this professor. She does not use black board, because she doesn't agree with it. She can be very rude. also you will go the entire semester not knowing your grade. Also don't ask questions in class. She will just tell you to read the syllabus. Find a new professor.

Comment:

The teacher is nice but it feels like she thinks her class is the only class everyone is taking. Way too much work for so little credits. Just the amount of work she made us do took away from how much fun the class could've actually been, she has some great ideas but poor ability to see how to interest students in speaking to an audience.

if you're expecting an easy A, i wouldn't recommend her. She is a prude and she requires a lot of time spent doing what i would consider "busy work" she isn't a difficult professor however, she is an unpleasant one. No test, no quizzes. tardiness and absences will effect your grade greatly!!!

She's a very sweet lady and she makes the classes interesting. Never really felt the desire to skip her classes, and the speeches were easy to do because her classroom environment makes everyone feel very comfortable with each other. Highly recommend her.
