Comment:

I dreaded speech class and Laura made it fun. As long as you follow her grade sheet, which is very clearly laid out on what she wants, you'll get an A. You do need to KNOW your speech. She's a wonderful teacher, I miss her class even though speech is my number one fear!

Comment:

Took this as an 8 week class. Two chapters a week and two quizzes a week. Pretty straight forward, and you do have to do the reading if you want to do well on the the written portions of the quizzes. There is one long paper that's do by the end of the class, and I suggest you do not procrastinate on it like I did. It takes a long time.

Comment:

She is a very friendly and enthusiastic teacher. Really easy class; just had to give four speeches and take two online tests. Easy grader. Cancels class or ends early a lot, so it would be good to take her last in the day. An issue some people might have is she talks about your speech right after you do it in front of the class.

Took this online as an 8 weeker. Relatively easy class, keep up with the work and you will be fine. Teacher seemed nice VIA emails, had no other contact with her. Final project takes a while so get started early. Interesting course, I enjoyed it.

Treats students more like friends than pupils. I needed a teacher and not a friend. At times hard to follow. Take with caution.

Comment:

A giant critic. Teaches the class as if she is constantly getting high on her powers to critique and judge, rather than teaching the students to learn, she teaches the students to memorize and judges based on how well the instructions are memorized. May be describe as cool, but as far as a teacher goes, i wouldn't recommend.

Comment:

Everybody HAS to take speech (aarggh!) Thankfully, I got a great teacher. She was very encouraging and got the class to encourage each other.You've gotta do the work, but she helps you and always keeps on top of reminding you when stuff's due, which helps. I'm a bit scatterbrained sometimes!

Took an online speech class with her. Need to read the whole book! But the material was easy to read, she is readily available for questions. Awesome teacher!

Comment:

This teacher rocks. I had ZERO interest in going to this class but I learned much with her "stage material" outlines. She is very supportive of everyone and tries to get you to be a good speaker. One of the best teachers I have had and I would take this class again in a second. I have used her outlines for other classes for presentations.

Comment:

I took this class over the summer cuz I heard you have to do less speeches and you do, only 3. I was so scared going into it, but it really wasnt that bad. Like I said, 3 speeches and 2 tests right out of the book. She can be pretty harsh but she still gives you a good grade as long as you have the written wrok done how she wants it. Easy class!

cool teacher, funny, and you may actually learn something in her class if you play attention and participate. I haven't got a grade from her yet so my fingers are still crossed.

Comment:

She is very fun teacher !!!! Can be a little tough but nothing we can't deal with. Speaches are not too hard. Good advice- choose the topicks you care about otherwise she gets upset!!! I would recommend to take her class! She also lets you out of the classroom earlier !!!!

Comment:

Speech assigments are pretty basic, however, I do not like being graded in front of 20 other students. I would prefer a basic Thank you, and sit down. She goes on and on about all of the negative things about the speech. She was more interested in theatre then speech. Don't take this class unless you have thick skin!

She's a very nice teacher and I have a lot of the same views on life and the fine arts as she does. She may be really tough at times, but it's only because she wants to make you the best you possibly can be.

Comment:

She is really self-centered. Doesn't care about her students at all and talks negitively about them in class. She gives bad grades to people who do the work and work hard and others who don't care about the class she gives them excellent grades. DON'T TAKE HER. YOU'LL BE MAKING THE BIGGEST MISTAKE.
