Comment:

Stacey is a great professor! Her class was always entertaining and didn't require much work outside of class. She can be a tough grader at times but is extremely accessible outside of class and is always willing to help her students improve. I hate public speaking but she made it less intimidating in this course.

I loved her! She is truly a gem, just beware there are only 100 points that make up the class so I suggest you go to her office hours or stay after class to have her watch your performances and she will give you feedback before presentation day! lovely lady!

Comment:

Stacey is amazing! She made public speaking seem easy for someone who found it difficult to talk in front of a group of peers. She is very easy to talk to, a total sweetheart and made you want to go to class. The activities she did to make it easier to get in front of the class were very helpful. And only two of your performances are memorized!

Comment:

Stacey complains a lot and is a very childish professor. If you're not a theatre major or is uncomfortable with performing inffront of people, don't take this class. It's only out of 100 points so one mess up and you're doomed. She also has a bad attitude problem.

Comment:

Stacy is an amazing person and teacher. She is extremely understanding to the fact that this is most people's first experience with acting. If you show up and put in even an ounce of effort, you will be fine. Stacy is extremely accessible during the semester and compared to other TAI or COM classes, this one is a breeze.

Comment:

Stacey is really nice, but her grading is kind of crazy. The class is only out of 100 points, and she's very nit picky and seldom takes off half points--always full points. You'll get an entire percentage knocked off your grade for having bad posture during a performance. Attendance is mandatory even though going to class isn't very helpful.

Comment:

Easiest oral interp class ever. The final is the only thing thats memorized and the rest of the presentations you dont have to write, you just pick a poem or short story to present for the class. She gives you 3 free absences (use them, you wont miss a thing). Has a mouth like a sailor but shes funny and easy to get along with.

This class is only out of 100 points which makes it pretty hard to get a good grade. There is 4 performances in the class and if you are not an actor don't take this class because she will grade you like you are.

Comment:

Stacey is a great person, and she truly cared about her students. The class is really easy. My only complaint is that she makes the class out of 100 points, so losing one point loses a percent of your grade.

Stacey is both a really entertaining and kind person. She manages to make class fun while still teaching a thing or two. She was well respected in my class which made the learning environment that much better. Can't recommend her enough.

Comment:

I cannot recommend Stacey enough. She is wildly genuine and goes out of her way to make students feel comfortable in class. We started our morning by stretching, then got into poem content and performances. You'll walk out of class knowing everyone's name and a little bit of who they are as a person. She reminded me that my voice is powerful.

Stacey is just a beautiful soul. She really did everything she possibly could to truly get to know you and your classmates, making it a much easier learning environment. I very much recommend Stacey and hope I get her some other time further down the road. I really think she can make you feel better about yourself, because she understands you.

Stacey took a subject that is terrifying (public speaking) and made it fun. You don't have to be great as long as you make an attempt. She gives positive feedback to help you improve. She was a blast and I would definitely take her again. I would recommend this class to everyone. You do get to know everyone in your class which is nice.

Stacey is a very humble person. She wants you to learn and makes the class meaningful. Her Summer course is super lovely where you can make a lot of friends. You will never regret having this class if you show up on time and enjoy the class. A few performances that don't require professional actors or actresses. She appreciates your efforts.

I loved having Stacey for TAI 170. She made coming to class enjoyable and I was never nervous to perform. You only have four performances and two are with a script, so if you don't have acting experience, don't worry.

Comment:

Took her for TAI 170 and would recommend it. She grades you based on your level going into the class. If you are an expert actor/actress she will expect more of you than if you are like me and have never done any acting before. She is fun and engaging in class and has a really good report with students.

Comment:

Stacey is phenomenal. I loved this class so much. Four presentations, two read and two memorized. Two short papers, graded very liberally. Not to mention fun warm-ups - we all laid on the floor one class and just laughed for like fifteen minutes. I gained so much confidence in my presentation skills, and Stacey gives great feedback on performances!
