Comment:

Professor was really nice and was always available to help at any time. She responded quickly to questions and graded effectively with positive feedback and solid criticism when needed. BEWARE OF THE PRESENTATIONS!! It is a speech class so don't think just because it's online, you don't have to present in front of an audience.

Comment:

Dr. Wendy is a great professor. I'm taking her online class now. Lots of work, first 2 speeches requires an 8 person audience, and each speech requires lots of prep. However she is quick to answer emails and always willing to help you in any way you need. Super sweet. I recommend taking the in person class if you can.

Prof Wendy was my instructor for Public Speaking class. This was online. There is alot of work. But the work all has detailed explanations. Make sure you turn work in on time if you take her. She answers email questions fast.

Dr. Wendy was a great professor. She has clear grading criteria and will work with you on late assignments if needed. She also gives extra credit options.

Comment:

I was so nervous to take this class because of the reviews, but I'm here to tell you it was great. I took her class online (Speech 1608). She gives you a week to do assignments and they take maybe 1-2 hours to do. You HAVE to get together 8 people for 2 speeches. I bought pizza and had a game night for these. Love her class. Got an A!

Comment:

Ridiculously rude, inconsiderate, and petty. Best way that I can describe it. I had a terrible month and a tremendous family emergency with an accident and was unwilling to help me in any way while other professors were super lenient. Wanted me to do 2 speeches in a class period- 14 minutes together and I told her I couldnt. Result- F. DO NOT TAKE

Comment:

Ms Mitchell- Matthews.. Solid choice for an online public speaking class if you don't have heavy class load. 3 speech assignments (where I had to round up 8 people to listen and video it) and 1 paper. She was super clear on grading and always replies to emails and even worked with me when I missed a due date. This class WILL cost you 20+hours/week

Comment:

If you're taking speech online with a lot of other classes I would not recommend this teacher. Professor Mitchell is very nice and an easy grader but the assignments are very lengthy and take a long time to complete. She emails back very fast and is very understanding but the work load is a lot!!

Comment:

The online version is MUCH harder. She even states that her classes taken in person are easier. A LOT of reading. Tough papers and kind of a tough grader BUT very fair. Very long winded on instructions. Does not take late work. Gives great feedback and emails very quickly. Must prepare for assignments. Won't pass doing them the day of.

Quite frankly the worst teacher I have ever taken. She literally takes any opportunity to dock points and doesn't let the grading scale get in her way. Choose another professor or put it off. Horrible experience from start to finish

Comment:

If you are a young adult in school this would be a good class. If you are a working adult with a full time job. I repeat do not waste your time. The professor unfortunately considers her class to be a carbon copy of the real world. School and the reality of the real world are two different things.

I'm not going to lie, this is the most attractive professor I have ever had. Not only was she attractive, but she was really kind and helped each student do the best they could. She always gave great feedback on your speeches and made this mandatory class pretty fun. Would definitely take her again.

An amazing teacher, very much into her work. Favorite professor so far, she is very energetic, very informative, and very involved with your work. a clear cut syllabus and follows it closely, never too much work and pretty lax environment. This is a speech class so if you don't attend then what are you taking it for???? I would recommend +++++++

My favorite instructor yet. She is committed. Answers emails fast and gives prompt feedback. Do the work and the good grade will come. Obviously the complaints are from students who do not take pride in their school work and attendance. This class preps you for real world expectations. I am already there so I know.

Comment:

I took her public speaking class, and I actually enjoyed it. It was a challenging class, but not too hard. She always responded fast and with good feedback. Sure, you need discipline to do some of the assignments, but that is just a matter of maturity. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that wants a public speaking class.

She is very quick in responding to any questions you may have. There are a lot of assignments in the course, so definitely be prepared to work and do a good job on it because if not it will definitely reflect in your grade!!
