Comment:

This is the worst professor i have ever taken throughout my studying years. I should have received an A. Rude and Strict!! Due dates for speeches are at 11pm and are super strict with that. If you do not trust your computer dont take her. My computer froze on me while i was submitting speech. Emailed her the proof and still deducted 20% of overall.

ok this course sucks. having this professor is a great idea if you enjoy getting points off for every single thing but you wild if you like that. every assignment is extremely nit-picky and assignments aren't due at midnight, they're due at 11 AM or noon (who does that???). her tests aren't anything like reviews and projects too much to handle.

Comment:

All of the previous reviews about her are accurate. She is a harsh grader with absolutely NO exceptions all in the name of being "fair". You HAVE to study the reviews to do good on the tests because they're multiple choice. She offers extra credit but they are attending lectures, so if you work or have a full schedule, you won't benefit much.

She's a stickler for the rules, some of us that missed the final due to valid reasons had to retake it and she made us take a harder final with points deducted. And she was very rude

NEVER TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU WANT POINTS OFF FOR EVERYTHING. I understand that we have to follow instructions as students but these professors take it to serious. It's like they have no actual care for the students because anything you ask or say to them is pointless they never give good feedback. PLUS the real teacher doesn't even teach!

Class isn't that bad if you read the instructions. She is very particular with everything including how you email her. You will not do well if you don't look at the instructions very carefully. She is fun to talk to, she loves what she teaches, and you actually learn a lot. Hard, if you don't put in the effort. Would take her again!

Comment:

Class isn't hard but the grading is ridiculous. The teaching assistants pretty much do everything. Email policy is a bit ridiculous and the professor does not care about the students. Tells you to go to BB for everything on the first day, then pretty much never shows up to class. Condescending in her emails. Does not care to help students.

Comment:

Make a mistake kiss valuable points goodbye. She offers little leniency on mistakes and deducts points off of your grade for minor email mistakes. Doesn't care about student success and is a tough grader who doesn't listen to concerns. Do yourself a favor and take another course or with a different professor

Comment:

The course itself was not difficult for the grades were from learnsmarts, three speeches, and one short paper. I felt as though the Teacher Assistants were the professor. Also, I'm very against the emailing system, bc a wrong subject line is deduction from a grade, and I truly believe one's grade should reflect their merit and work, not a mistake

Comment:

The sole reason I decided to create an account on this site was to write a review of this woman. Her thick Texas accent provided my ears with restless discomfort. Her grading is beyond preposterous. Her attitude is that of a 16 YO "daddy's princess". Her class is dull and wasteful. Overall, this professor might just be the worst person I know.

This class is terrible. DO NOT TAKE IT. The professor is not accessible whatsoever. She takes 10 points off your speech grade if you email her in an incorrect format. The grading practices are not consistent at all either.

To get an A: read the assigned ch. in the textbook (old edition of text works just fine), go to class & note down what she tells you to. easy group project where y'all present a ch. together, also a simple video assignment given towards the end of class, some hw given but not much. easy exams. would recommend.

Holy cheese did this class stress me the dairy out. Did you forget to CC an instructor in an e-mail? 10 POINTS DEDUCTED. Having trouble uploading any of your 3 speeches? 25 POINTS OFF. 5 POINTS OFF for not including your middle name. JK. Speeches are quite simple to do, TAs may or may not forget to post your grade, blunt responses, etc. Just no.

Comment:

i took the online speech class. if you email this professor in the wrong format (didn't CC all of the right people, wrong subject line, etc) she takes 10 to 25 point she off your last project grade. this professor is not understanding in anyway and if you have any problems uploading or submitting anything it is an automatic 0.

THE LEAST UNDERSTANDING PROFESSOR I'VE HAD DURING MY 3 YEARS AT UH. I have had difficulty uploading one assignment & I followed all of her directions for this & she still didn't care & deducted points. Her grading practices are not clear at all. It's honestly like she doesn't actually care about your performance in the class. She doesn't help.

Comment:

She does not have any feelings she will fail you if you turn in the speeches even 1 minute late, i had trouble uploading and couldn't contact Mcgraw hill. Speeches are about 25% So if you do poorly you will have to retake the class

Took her my last semester and that was by far the easiest , most interesting class. The project was really fun, she gives 2 options. And we had to do presentations which she graded really easy. We sometimes had homework but it was a piece of cake.

She is the most unorganized teacher I've ever encounter, however. If you listen to her (she gives out test answers) and actually read the book like she advises you'll be fine. The project is super easy and the tests are literally straight from the book. Attendance is mandatory.

Comment:

Do the work that she assigns, the way she assigns it and it's impossible not to make an A. She gives example speeches and outlines that you can use as templates for yours. Do the work and get an A!
