Comment:

I had her in 1996. She is a kind person who cares about her students. I learned a lot in her class. I didn't do all the work necessary and so received the grade I deserved.She was very fair and even gave me chances to make it up, but I was taking 5 classes and working full time so I didn't bother. She's a really good teacher, I liked her a lot!

BEST Professor I've ever had! Learned so much in her class. She's not an easy grade but what she teaches will get you A's in all other classes. So much more than a Speech class. Highly Recommended.

Comment:

I expected to give some speeches, pass the class and move on but Ms. Manatu made this class into a true learning experience. She wants you to participate and engage in the class, which by 8pm was hard to do but def* worth the effort. She lays out everything you need to do in your speeches with detailed outlines. Loved this class!

She is good at her job, she can sometimes rant, but she knows her work, people who thinks she nuts don't really want to be in her class. just listen and do the work you will be fine.

Comment:

She is great! She makes YOU personally responsible. She tells you how life really is. She does not tolerate immaturity, ghetto, BS, goofing off. She worked very hard to get her PhD. She expects you to work hard in her class and in life. You may hate speech, but you will come out of her class one step closer to being a real woman or man.

I LOVE THIS PROFESSOR!I honestly wish i can take her again.She is amazingly insightful & knowledgeable about her work and has a passion to teach.She is no nonsense however, and you must respect her class or she will set you straight!That's what i loved about her the most.I've learned so much in and will view films differently from now on.

She's amazing. Very easy class. I was scared to take this class cuz I hate talking in front of ppl but I got A- with almost no effort and late speech. She's fair and helpful. Explains the material over and over again.

Comment:

This professor was absent many times. We had to rush with everything we learned, thus it was harder to comprehend. She walks into the room without acknowleding the class, i find that really rude. Personally i really did not like her and she made me hate speech class.She would have these outburst, it made me very uncomfortable.

Comment:

Two words: DRAG QUEEN! She always sits there sucking on her teeth, and sighing throughout the student?s ENTIRE speech. She is a mess in a designer dress, despite shoddy attempts at professionalism, and is always complaining about her medication! She is an attendance HOUND, but missed 5 days herself last semester. AVOID AT ALL COST!

You will learn a lot and see life through a different perspective. It is an interesting class but it does require an open mind and maturity. So red or green pill?

Comment:

Manatu is NOT easy, but she is fair, she cares about her students, and she is GOOD. I cannot understand how anyone could find this woman boring; her outbursts in class have cracked me up more than once. She can be harsh sometimes, but that's because she has a low tolerance for immaturity/stupidity. Do the work, be respectful, and try hard.

THIS PROFEESOR IS VERY NICE SHE HELPED ME ALOT TO LOOK AT LIFE IN A DIFFERENT WAY, SOME PEOPLE THINK SHE IS HARSH BUT IS BETTER THAT WAY CAUSE LIFE IS NOT EASY AND IF YOU ARE HUNGRY FOR SUCCESS SHE IS A GREAT HELP TO ACHIEVE ALL YOUR GOALS. SHE MADE ME REALIZE THE BEST THING IN LIFE IS WHEN YOUR WORK FOR WHAT YOU WANT.

Comment:

Learned alot in her class. When she said what you learn in speech class will help later in life (ie job-related, and just plain communicating with people) she meant it. Didnt care for public speaking before her class, now I wonder what the fuss was about. She made it simple. Great teacher, but tough. Condescending at times, but means well.

Comment:

Yeah, I agree with what the previous student posted on Manatu. You do NOT want to get on her bad side. Do all 3 speeches required for the semester (Mini Intro, Informative & Persuasive speeches), ace the Mid-Term & Final & you'll be alright. Oh yeah, do give her feedback because she expects it. She'll go nuts if no one respond back with feedback.

Comment:

Great prof. Really knows what she is doing. Teaches well. If you don't do the work and mess around however, watch out. Her bad side is not cool. Gets sidetracked at times but her way of looking at life is interesting and very funny. She doesn't assign that much work so just do it when you get it. And read the txt bk.
