Comment:

I had class from 5:30-9:20, luckily she would give us a few breaks. Occasionally she would mislabel the handouts. The best thing to do is print all of the handouts out and have them on you. Her lectures are amazing! Great feedback, and creative activities which were super enjoyable! She is funny and respectable! I enjoyed the class bunches!

Super easy. Only 4 speeches and they are no more that 6 Minutes. shortest speech was 30 seconds. Showing up is a grade. don't purchase a textbook.

Comment:

Her class is incredibly easy: we did 4 speeches (2 solo and 2 group) and very simple worksheets. No exams. BUT all she talks about are ridiculous conspiracy theories and other junk and wastes class time with 30mins YT videos. It's a HUGE waste of time going to class; I skipped all the time and still got an A, as with others. DON'T BUY THE BOOK.

Awesome professor! She's all into conspiracy theories but she's interested in making the class think and give their point of views. DO NOT buy the book she never uses it..there's easy work sheets one group project and 2 main speeches and there is no final exam she uses the last speech as an exam. She's not a hard critique and genuinely nice

Comment:

Professor Madden is the best teacher I've ever had! She talks about information that's actually useful in the real world. Some people may think she's crazy because of all of her theories, but it 's actual information that everyone should know. This class has given me so many interesting conversation topics and my overall experience was amazing!

Comment:

Prof. Madden is a fun teacher. She really tries to get everyone involved. I'm not a huge fan of speeches, but had no problem doing all of my speeches in this class. She really is huge into conspiracy theories, but I'd rather debate on conspiracies then other boring stuff, so its really not that bad if you're open minded. I'd take her again.

You have to try and fail this class. Her class is fun and interesting. It gets you talking about what the world is around you. She teaches speech unconventionally because she wants you to go out there and use the skills you've learned in real life. If you're interested in thinking and having a great time, take this class.

Terrible teacher. She acts like her class is a political science class instead of a speech class. She makes you do ridiculous assignments that have nothing to do with giving speeches. I don't suggest ANYONE to take her.

Comment:

There were 3 major speeches, and a few homework assignments. You do not need the book. She's an easy grader, understanding about stage freight. BUT she's an insane conspiracy nut, we spent most days watching youtube videos, I found it very annoying. There is a final, 20 questions, I passed it without reading.

Comment:

This professor is wonderful, and incredibly easy. I do not suggest taking her if you do not like to participate in class. She shows a lot of videos on what is happening in the world, and although it is quite thought provoking, definitely not someone you want to take if you don't have much going on in your mind to talk about. Would take her again :)

Comment:

I found her utterly boring. She doesn't teach about speech or talking in front of a crowd. She talks and talks and talks. And she is always talking about political issues, and your thoughts on them. I get that she's trying to inspire you to do some though provoking thinking. But it's speech, not political science. I didn't enjoy her a s professor.

She's the best speech teacher out there! Other teachers make you dress up for speeches and give quizzes every week but she doesn't. She gives you simple homework assignments that you knock out in 10 minutes or less. She gives you the speech outline and you fill it in and use note cards for the speeches.This is a no fail class.

Comment:

Wonderful teacher! Our first lesson in class was "schmoozing" and how it's the currency of life. I took this class over the summer and actually looked forward to going. She keeps the class engaged with thought provoking material IN ADDITION to teaching students how to give a speech. Her grades are fair and straightforward.

She is a very easy! There are only 4 speeches to give. She also shows a lot of videos during class than tries to get the class to talk about and she has some odd views, but it's an easy A!!
