Dr. Laware is a fine professor. Her lectures not organized though and she doesn't post the notes anyways. The tests are difficult and detailed. READ THE SPEECHES.

Dr. LaWare is an amazing professor. She is willing to help you out whenever you need help. There are lots of reading assignments that have Focus Questions you have to complete--but these are super easy. She really appreciates you participating in group discussion. Overall easy class and good professor.

Comment:

I found her wasting a lot of time, three hours stuck in a room. I felt lucky I wasn't one of the guys who tried speaking their mind, because it was a group mentality that was her way or an F.

Wonderful class--especially appreciates her willingness to share her personal experience as it related to the content of the course. Would take a class with her again. Helped me develop a more complex view of gender and communication.

This class is pretty easy. Just do the assigned reading and you'll be fine on tests. The questions are straight from the book and some obvious things from lecture. She's very nice!

Perhaps my favorite professor of all time. She is extremely available for discussion outside of class and is very helpful regarding post-graduate studies and scholarships. I admire professor Laware and hold her in the highest regard.

Lectures are very, very boring. The book is very easy to understand, but can get by without reading it. I enjoyed recitation, but that was with a TA. Midterm was more difficult that I would have expected...

Is she really qualified to teach public speaking? hmm...i don't think so! She is an easy teacher, but her lectures are boring and she can't speak any better than I could!

Easiest class I've taken yet. 5 easy speeches. Easy extra credit. Easy homework. Easy "A" class in general. Lecture can get quite boring and its easy to skip a lot without missing anything.

Talks a lot and gets mad when you try to leave when the class is over but she's still talking. The quizzes and tests are cake it's just lecture that sucks.
