Doesnt live up to hype. Shes scatter brained, exams dont really follow the study guide, she ignores ppl sometimes and overall an ehh professor. Assignments are kind of bogus , she was supposed to get rid of an assignment on the syllabus but said shell leave it and then take it out next semester, like what?! Other prof im sure are better.

Comment:

I often made her laugh. This is one of those classes where you can get an A or B, but you feel annoyed if you have an B. A really good teacher and she does prove the value in actually being a solid public speaker. You have 5 speeches, 5 quizzes, an analysis of someone else's speech and a take home exam. It's an informative and super easy class.

She talks a lot but is fairly easy. She lets you know what she wants, so follow that and you'll pass. Not that much homework. A few papers, 3 tests and that is pretty much it. Grades easy.

Comment:

She's very clear in her lectures. You don't really have to read the whole chapters of the book may be just the main points, and you'll be fine. Exams are easy especially if you study. There are different ways for you to keep your grade up is not only about the exam. If you miss class, as long as you know what's on the syllabus you'll be fine.

Amazing class! Professor Manlowe is very caring and she makes it easy for students to participate comfortably. This class is interpenetrating poems and prose, but it wasn't as intimidating as it may sound. The majority of the class was participation and presentations, so be prepared to get out of your comfort zone. This class improved my skills!

Amazing professor. She doesn't assign that much homework so attendance is more important. As long as you do the assignments given, and attend lecture you will pass. The best part is that the prof gives a review paper before exams and doesn't mislead on what to study for. If you study what's on the paper you will pass exams with an A.

Professor Manlowe makes life so easy because she's a professor that cares about her students, uses a trustworthy and excellent scoring system that's easy to follow and understand. She has a great sense of humor and her lectures are fun. You'll know when she gets serious though, but mostly she's a sweetheart. Just be respectful & responsible

Ms. Manlowe is one of the best communication professors at LBCC. She makes her lectures very clear and easy to understand. There 3 exams and she gives out a study guide with everything that will be on the exams. One group presentation at the end and a small one in the beginning of the semester. She is hilarious and her lectures are fun.

Comment:

This class is not for those who would rather die than speak in public, but if you set your fears aside long enough to 'perform' past your first assignment, you'll find a very positive, fun and supportive environment is there to keep you safe for the rest of the semester. Not a lot of reading, and if you pay attention to any lectures, you'll do well

Comment:

Her class was fun even though i hated those 3 times we had to go in front of the class to share something. She's very funny and liked picking on some students which didn't seem to mind cuz they'd answer with the dumbest response. Great class!! 1 lone wolf presentation at the beginning + 3 exams + final which is a group presentation.

Comment:

Professor Manlowe's class was really fun. However, for those who may have stage fright or who are extremely shy, her comm 50 class might not be for you since you have to "act out" pieces of literature. It was an interesting class though. She's very funny and so pretty! I always looked forward going to her class.

Comment:

Intercultural Communication is about Power Distance, Collectivist, and Individualistic and some other cultural terms. In her class I didn't learn any of that. Her class is super boring and EWW. She is very mean to students and she starts the class with the ? of the day.. boring. I wont take here again.

If you're trying to take comm 60 with her just know this class is about performing! (Don't be afraid) it was quiet fun. Easy grader, 4 performances, one test (final). By the end of the semester I had 89% but she wouldn't bump it up because she's already an easy grader. I usually got 4650 on my performances but the final messed me up (4050) :(
