Professor Rhodes class is wonderful! She is very kind and sets reasonable expectations for her students. Attending class is important- will often discuss important info in class that will not be on canvas. Luckily, she does give open note easy exams, but MUST read textbook. TONS of extra credit. Will have to present at the end of the semester. :)

Extremely unfair when grading and fails to mention anything when it's due. Professor Rhodes is nice and all but her projects are beyond unfair and she grades extremely hard. 0/10 would never take again

Comment:

This class only becomes difficult and extremely stressful if you procrastinate. She's actually a good choice. TIP! Make sure you do your essays before they are due!!!! She will check them before it's due, and tell you what to correct, which will pretty much give you an automatic 100. Labs are a peice of cake. Put yourself in the right groups!!

Professor Rhodes was awesome! This class is so much more than just your basic speech class if you take the assignments seriously. I loved it and I am already using several of the techniques she taught us.

Engaging lectures. Cares about her students & wants them to pass. Offers lots of extra credit. Gets off-topic sometimes, so it's your job to stay focused on taking notes. Used the book sparingly in class, definitely a must-have for quizzes/tests. End of sem was group project & it was a slog even though it helped me learn to present to an audience.

Overall great teacher. She believes in some strange stuff, and you have to do a project on it, but I did it just for the grade and only payed attention to what I needed to know and nothing more. Learns everyone's names. Friendly atmosphere. Tons of Extra Credit, and easy grader.

Comment:

Amazing, relevant lectures while letting you take notes from the projector out of the book/canvas at your own pace. She uses clear grading criteria, is extremely respectful & kind. She constantly offers extra credit & wants you to pass. The tests online were open book. Hard for a prof to care about every student she meets, but she does a great job.

Comment:

Professor Rhodes is a truly kind and respected instructor. My only stipulation is that she is extremely specific on assignments and how they are to be turned in. I would get points taken off for things that she failed to mention. Very discouraging, I only recommend this course to those who excel in groups. Tests are relatively easy.

good prof. Not boring. ALWAYS PUT URSELF IN GOOD GROUPS IF YOUR IN SLACKER GROUP MOVE SEATS THE NEXT TIME. tests are online i would honestly just rent out the book for the test because some of the answers are there. Go to the Collin library and rent it out for two hours and get a study room. OH AND DO EXTRA CREDIT.

so I took this class in the wintermester (2 weeks) yes you have to do a 6 page paper and god knows how many projects, but this professor is really inspirational, if you like stories take this professor (80%of the classes is stories that relate to the material) and ONLINE TESTS!!!! As long as you show up and give half effort you will do fine.

Comment:

Took her wintermester class, and there was a lot of work! Even though the exams are online, the main factor for grade comes from her projects, and they are tedious and she grades hard. So if you mess up on the projects, you lose a lot of points! Besides that, she is a nice person and she does show interest in teaching communication to her students!

I took her speech class but we only presented once and it was a group presentation. There are two major projects but they are long so don't wait to till the last minute. We had two multiple choice tests online and you can do it at home open book with 50 questions in 3 hours. Her class may seem easy but there are a lot to do. She is very passionate.

I took her class as an express course. She's kind and caring. She offers TONS of extra credit. Her class is interesting. The only problem I had with the class was that if you were in a bad group your grade suffered. Exams are online. Presentation was work intensive because of the express course. Got a 99(extra credit is key she offers a TON!!!!)

Comment:

Spends lots of class time telling personal stories. Requires attendance for out-of-class events which may conflict with your schedule. These events are a part of her campus organization and it does not relate to the subject of speech. Biggest grade is a group project. My group had the pseudo-scientific subject of "heart-brain coherence."

Comment:

She was kind of disorganized. When it came to the rubric for the group project at the end of the semester, it was not clear at all. It left a lot of people kind of guessing what she wanted. Even if you asked her in person it was still vague. Her lectures are interesting, but she is a tough grader. She does grade for participation so be in class.
