Comment:

I think her grading was harsh, but if you try your best you can still get a good grade. Make sure to go to class. She calls roll. The final was harder than I thought. It came from the book, and she didnt make it. Overall I thik she was a good teacher.

Comment:

She is the sweetest teacher I've had at Auburn so far. If you put in the effort it's extremely easy to get an A. The hardest thing about the class is the final because it's standardized, and she doesn't make it. But, that doesn't stop her from wanting to help you get an A. She'll do everything she can to ensure you get the best grade possible!

Ms. Bentley is a wonderful teacher who really cares about her students. The class is fun if you let it be and easy to get a good grade if you do the work required. She judges fairly and is very clear in her instructions. I really like her and would recommend her as a professor.

I'm sorry but this woman is out of her mind; I can't stand her; she is WAYYY too picky about the speeches; Do yourselves a favor and don't think twice about taking her she's nuts and will drive you nuts

Comment:

Ms. Bentley is really sweet and a pretty cool teacher. Comm 1000 is a lot more work than I had expected, but every class is on the same curriculum so the teacher doesn't really control the workload. She is supportive even when people are nervous and grades fairly easily. Watch out for the midterm - it was surprisingly hard!

Comment:

Mrs. Bentley is so nice and really funny she made the class worthwhile. If you put the effort forth she'll most likely give you the grade you earned. The speeches require a lot of time and research if you want to do well on them. 15 pts off your grade for every class you miss, so GO TO CLASS.

Comment:

Ms. Bentley is a great teacher. She's extremely friendly and enjoys teaching. She's very helpful when it comes to helping students with questions about speeches. I felt like she was pretty lenient with grades. You dont really need the book for class, but all of the midterm/final questions come from the book so it's good to have. I'd reccomend her!

Comment:

She's a very nice lady, and will help you a lot. Very forgiving on the first few speeches (especially if you mess up) but after that is very critical. Has a tendency to appear stupid at times, like the one time when she asked me if I was doing a persuasive speech instead of informative, like we were supposed to.

Comment:

Like everyone says, she's very personable and sincere. She also wants to help you in any way she can. However, she does grade VERY harshly. I worked my butt off for a B. If you are taking her, READ THE BOOK TO REVIEW FOR THE TESTS. You think the material is common sense, but the questions are always tricky. The tests can save your grade.

Comment:

This lady is a little crazy but nice. She mumbles to herself a lot. Keeps things interesting. Good class to take, and she's not bad. A little picky sometimes though. I would recommend taking Ms. Bentley. She tries to be very helpful.

DO NOT TAKE HER!! She grades sooo hard! I mean, it's stressful enough having to get up in front of people and speak! I worked my butt off in there. Does not scale.

She is so cute and funny! She is very helpful. Grades semi-easy on the speeches, but if you just act like you know what you're talking about you'll do good. I loved her!

Mrs. Bentley is a sweet lady. If you put in some effort, she'll go out of her way to help you out. Class isn't easy which stinks considering it's a 1000 cournse, but she makes it as painless as possible

She was extremely nice and helpful. The class itself is harder than it should be, but she tries to make it as easy as possible. She is definitely the one to have for this class. She's so sweet!
