Comment:

Lectures can be confusing & grades a little tough but class is doable Bought the book cheap $40 new. Informative & persuasive speech REQUIRE A LOT OF RESEARCH. Got an A on every speech except persuasive got a B- By the end we only had 12 students but is beneficial because she extends assignment deadlines if class asks her to. Must be PRESENT.

Comment:

I'm surprised by the previous reviews. I'm not to sure what I received in her class yet, however, I enjoyed Professor Lai's course overall. You never think about how important speech is until you take this course. She is funny and always there to help critique your work when asked. Be sure to read, participate and practice!

Comment:

Thought this was gonna be a fun and good class to learn from but in reality, she barely teaches and doesnt teach good content at all. When I asked for a speech outline check or more information to understand she just laughs and thinks its all a joke. Needs to get better learning material and teaching level. Very bad teacher. Would not recommend.

Comment:

I read a comment earlier saying she was of no use when you try to ask her a question. She tries to make you answer your own question. THE POINT OF THE QUESTION IS BECAUSE I DONT KNOW. When a miracle happens and she does answer its completely unrelated to what my question was. And then she gets mad. I wish i had space to write more. Dont take!!!!!

Comment:

I registered for Mrs. Lai speech 101 class and had to drop the class due to excessive requirements she was asking for. Since the beginning she already mentioned that only a few students will pass the class with a C if you try your hardest. You will still have a C even if you attended class everyday turned in all assignments and did all speeches.

Comment:

You know all these "good" comments claiming they got a B in the class. Its actually professor Lai writing them. She is trying so hard to not drop down to 1.0 or less that she constantly has to come every once in a while and give herself a good rating. She cant even be creative she literally writes the same thing doesnt even try at all its so funny

Comment:

You must attend every class to be able to pass or you won't understand how to do anything. Pay attention closely to what she has to say and you will pass the class. Sometimes she a little loose in requiring things to be turned in on time because she understand the class can be difficult. I feel more confident in my speech and writing skills now.

Comment:

At first teacher says that the class isn't hard nor that she won't expect much. Lies. Her grading methods are too harsh for a 101 class. By the ending weeks there was less than 10 people in the class and even then the best student in the class had a 'C'. Class felt more like an English class instead of a Speech because of all the papers. 0/10.

Comment:

I took the SPCH101 course for spring 2018 because it fulfills a requirement. My experience was not fun and I barely learned a thing. Her lectures were incoherent, most of us tuned her out and formed a study group. Take SPCH100/101 with ANYONE else. Follow the syllabus, it outlines your due dates. AVOID THIS CLASS IF YOU DON'T WANT A CHALLENGE

Comment:

More than half of the students dropped the class after seeing what she expects from her students. Gives way too much work to do in such little time. If you miss one quiz consider yourself not getting a passing grade. Makes you write essays with your speeches and makes you work extremely hard for a passing grade. Would not recommend.

Comment:

This woman talks forever but doesn't teach at all. The most common phrase I've heard from her is "All of you did the speech wrong except one person maybe." But everyone's speeches sound very similar in format. Highly recommend to not take this teacher!

Comment:

Do not expect anything more than mediocre lectures with professor lai. She is very condescending and has a bad attitude towards students, talks students down and does not try to help. talks about things that do not have to do with speeches or weekly quizzes.. gives little time to prepare a speech, and a tough grader. do not recommend this class!

Comment:

Expects way too much in such little time! Do not take! If you miss a quiz or an assignment you will not pass this class. Only gives about 3 days to prepare for a speech. If you are good at giving speeches this might not be as difficult but she still expects essays with her speeches! It consumes plenty of your time. Would not recommend

Comment:

Hardly anything to do with speech. You will spend more time researching and writing papers than learning how to speak in front of an audience. Take someone else. I cannot stand this professor. Condescending attitude. Cherry picks for grading. DO NOT TAKE.
