Very talented CAUCASIAN teacher! Hilarious and Outgoing. Speech can not get any better than this class. For those who are scared of SPEECH CLASS don't be because this teacher will surely help you out and the SPEECHES are PIECE OF CAKE! If you ever need to take a speech class take this teacher and no doubt about it that it will be a fin ride!
AWESOME!! she's really kind and sweet and has many different ways to make a student come out on top. I was a really shy person but ever since i took her class, I improved dramatically! She even asked me to participate in speech meets for the fall semester and I passed with an "A"!!!! Awesome subject.. Awesome teacher...
A GREAT, BRILLIANT, and an EXPERT in her field of profession. Very helpful to her students. Students will learn a lot. The kind of class that every student is looking forward to attend to everyday. Take her class if you want to learn and have fun at the same time. We'll surely her. See you around Prof. Panella!!!
Great Great! Fun Fuun! I Love it ! i am a student who do not speak english and only understan super little english and i made it it is super fun i like it so much. It is my life.
SUPER HOT Professor! very very understaning! it's my world! i dont speak english at all i been here for 2 weeks and now i have the courage to stand in class and speak up.... i like her a lot..! super easy class and very very fun fun FUN FUN FUN!
love this teacher the best one of a kind highly recommend
pretty fun, a clown. uses different methods to allow you to feel comfortable with performing anything. Cool stuff, number 1 recommended
Excellent professor, one of the best I've had. Seems as she puts so much effort to keeping her students interested in school. You will have many group activites and her class discussions are never boring. I improved a lot on my speech skils throughout this semester.
Great class. Lots of interaction with other students. By end of semester guaranteed comfort level in public speaking. Very nice teacher.
The class was very funny,Panella is a very nice professor, friendly and patient, after take her class, my speech is better than before, thank you ,Panella~
Panella is amazing! She is so incredible with her way of making even the most nervous public speakers feel very comfortable. she teaches great strategies and is hot hot hot, and very fair. :)
Panella kicks ass, plain and simple. Her debate class is by no means easy, and you will work your ass off for the second half of the semester, but its well worth it. I have never been as excited about a project in a class as I am about my debate next week.
Panella is an awsome professor. Her classes are challenging and fun at the same time. She truly cares about the acheivements of her students and it's been a pleasure being in her class.
shes awsome if all ur classes suck and u need one where u can go and relieve stress take hers you get units and u chill..and learn how to publically present urself its a great deal.
awsome teacher
somewhat sharp tongued professor. she keeps it real, no BS-ing her. i would highly recommend
she is the greatest professor ever! she made the class fun but at the same time we still had to do our work. i never been so excited to go to class or even do a debate in front of the class! she made it fun to learn the subject. she is not a boring professor that lectures all day, she make sure everybody interact with our group decussion. TAKE HER
Panella is a great speech teacher. Interpersonal communications is her foretay. I worked pretty hard, but only because I wanted to. She kept me awake and excited all semester, never a dull moment. I learned a lot, also, and would definitely take her again. Loved the class, got an A ;) She tells you to read & buy the book, but ppl got an A w/o it.
Panella is a great teacher. She keeps the classes fun and interesting. I am glad I didn't have to take public speaking though.
If you ever need a speech class, take it with this professor. She was a lot of fun and I learned so much! Every professor should be more like her.
Had her every friday morning with a fear of speeches. Still have a lil bit of fear but a lot more confidant now. She def knows what she is teaching! Take her, will make u work but it pays off! Hands down one of the most unique teachers i have ever encountered. Very understanding, let me make up the mid term during her office hours.(enjoy the chili)
hot, hot, hot. so hot. yum. and wonderful, clear. perfect.
Panella is just the best.
She's fun and always full of energy! You'll never find her boring unlike some professors. You'll learn a lot from there. Her teaching is simple and easy to digest.
Been at PCC for awhile and by far the best professor ever. Keeps you entertained and is very funny. I am terrified of speeches but her teaching style helps you overcome your fears. For some her grading may seem a bit hard but it is because she wants you to improve. If I was still at PCC I would take her again. Definitely recommended!!! =)
Panella is really cool. She's awesome. She made the class very interesting and fun. She's funny too. I overall really enjoyed this class even though I'm a pretty shy person and didn't really speak much in class. lol :)
Panella's a GREAT teacher. If taking a speech class take any w/her. She makes learning fun & interesting. I'm a REALLY shy person but in her class you gain confidence. No tests in class but she does expect you to learn and finds out if you've learned through group projects or class assignments.
I will say ok. You have to memorized tour speech(word for word), not shy in talking in front of the class, @ least 5 to 6 speech get them interesting subjects, good eye contact and have to work alot with groups.
6 speeches, she tells u what you need to improve on so just do that for the next speech and you are good. she makes you do rough drafts and practice a lot but she really wants you to be ready for the real speech so it might be a bit of work but nothing to really stress you out.
I took her in the summer. She is an excellent professor. Attend every class. It is a lot of fun and you will learn how to speak in front of people and also how to move around the class. TAKE HER! SHE IS AWESOME!!!!
panella! it is funny that they put her whole name since she just goes by AC, well she is awesome teacher totally recommended, she is clear from the beginning what she expects from her students, and she is fun, and she always has a story.... and yeah a memorial phrase from my class are you calling me dumb?
first time teaching class, so we were used as lab rats. Class revolves around teams with 4 projects which requires papers & presentations for each group. Stick with a team that has workers or else you'll get stuck doing all the work. Participate and you'll do fine. Very Funny and responds to e-mails quickly. Take her, she's worth it.
Panella's speech class is frikin' awesome. I have never felt comfortable speaking in front of class but she made it very comfortable and makes sure no one is embarrassed, she is super humorous. about 5 speeches, moderate work load, she goes over everything thoroughly there isn't really any time i was ever confused. she is awesome! Take her class!
1) she is clear in what she asks for and is reasonable 2) The activities in class are creative, fun and revolutionary. 3) I learned a lot about working in groups in the class 4)cares about students and is respectful.
she was awesome. very smart and able to help anyone understand anything. very smoth with her lectures, never a dull momnent. the speechs are so fun that you'll forget you're getting grated on them. she made every lecture so cleare and easy. i loved her!!!!
She's hot funny and nice. Don't be a retard, take her class! You will learn alot.
panella is my bff. but for real she is amazing and i love her. if your not comfortable with speaking dont take her class however if your creative and willing you will learn more from her than any other speech class. shes super funny and very intelligent .. take her!
Great Professor!
Panella is a five star G. Learn alot from tha class, im actually a good speaker now. Got an A with a littl bit of involvement/effort. Very down to earth. Kobe is guilty of rape.
Panella is amazing,she's super funny and intelligent. Take her class, you will learn a lot from her.
Panella is awesome!Take her class..you'll learn a lot! She really makes public speaking as easy as ABC..Highly recommended!
Kobe is guilty of rape. This speech class is awesome to overcome "some" of your fears of public speaking.Her lectures are super clear and helpful, never in the winter session did I need to ask her how to do a speech project because her lectures are super clear. Just do the three P's and you will succeed
Amazing.
SHE IS A COOL TEACHER, never had a lecture like hers. She does grade strictly, but that way you will aim to improve. Her lecture on public speaking is very helpful. When you have questions, do go visit her during her office hour. PRACTICE! Dont speak too fast, or read your notes. She will mark you down drastically. Overall, GREAT PROF.
AC is not only the funniest professors I've had, but she's also the best looking. Delicious. TAKE HER CLASS, SHE'S SO HELPFUL!
Super Hot SUper Funny, real easy going
soo im takin this class right now, i love it, look forward to it, even if you have a huge problem with public speaking she helps you out. totally just learned her real name right now, love it haha, shes SUPER hot. and really funny and intelligent. needless to say, im learning a lot in this class. LOVE U PANELLA!!!!
Not only is Panela a great professor but she is also extremely hooootttt!!!!! I would totally recomend her.She really tries to help you overcome ur public speaking fears. TAKE HER!!!!!!You will not regret it!
she is the best speech teacher out there! i was nervous to take her class at first but LOVED every single friday. she even brings doughnuts when shes late. you NEED to take her class. not boring at all and is extremly helpful with pretty much everything.
She is a great professor. class was never boring. Their is a lot of interacting. there are 3 projects, one alone and two group projects. Two term and finale although for our finale we jut played jeopardy and didn't have an actual test. She always relates material to real life which makes it simple to understand. She is super funny. RECOMMEND!
PANELLNA IS AWESOME!!!TAKE HER CLASS!!THIS CLASS IS FUN AND YOU CAN LEARN A LOT FROM HER!!!
Panella Rocks!! She's passionate about teaching and she explains things well. if you love to join the discussion in class (even if you are shy, just try to be a little more open and that will be fine) and do your the work, she will give you an easy A.
I admire Panella for being herself in a brutal environment like a college campus. She is proud of who she is and is one of the strongest people I know. Her class was a joy, I looked forward to each and every one. I also don't know a single person who doesn't find her attractive. Take her. Absolutely one of the best.
BEST PROFESSOR!! fun, ez, interesting class, n always cheerful! class was ez there r 3pjs. 1 is the zine pj which ull do it by self n its EZ + she graded ez too. other 2pjs r groups and presentation on both of it. many interaction inclass which is SOOO FUN n ull learn it too. 1 midtm, but graded ez on it, 1 final but it was game style n every1 A!
TAKE THIS ADVICE FROM SOMEONE THAT HAVE TAKE TWO CLASSES WITH HER. she is a cool teacher, she is the biggest nerd that i know of, she loves coffee, never bug her if she have eat because she would eat your brain out. go to her office hours so at least she knows who u r. her class is easy if u follow directions,take her coolest teacher
She is the most AWESOME professor ever! If you have to take speech take her. She makes it fun and I learned a lot. She is super kickback!
Panella is by far in my opinion the best speech teacher at Pcc. She really cares about the well being of her students, and is a very down to earth, and likable person. Trust me if you take good notes, and you use what she teaches you on your debates, you should be fine. Oh yeah, her sence of humor is priceless lol =)
She gives awesome lectures never a dull moment in class, make sure you take notes and participate and meet her in her office hours!!! I felt she was a bit too broad on projects but if you ask for help she's there...make sure you choose your group wisely. The class isn't easy but it's not difficult...I'm pretty shy and I aced the class...Good Luck!!
One of my favorite teachers ever!!! The class was hard but taking her is worth it because of her great personality.
Panella is amazing and has to be the best Professor I have ever had! Make sure to read the book, listen to lecture, participate, and take notes because it will be on the midterm & final. If you have questions just ask. 3 PJs with paper included, make sure it's ENG1A level writing. You will have lots of fun in class & final!OMG Panella is HOT!!=D
The class is not hard if you study and pay attention. Really nice, super funny. Not a typical teacher in the "traditional" sense.
Grading and assignments follow the detailed syllabus. What you get depends on the effort you put in. I came in the first day hating class and left confident that I can tackle any public speaking scenario. Only bad thing was the class hours coincided with Sonic's 2-4pm drink happy hour which was bs. Highly recommended instructor.
Very engaging. Learned a lot in a short summer session. Fun from beginning of semester till the very end. Keeps you interested. Pay attention the the lectures and the reading. Make sure you take GREAT NOTES. Paying attention is key because what she says is on the midterm and the final.
She is truly the BEST teacher I have ever been blessed with!Everyone I meet knows about Panella!!!
Panella surpasses being a great teacher. The way she teaches makes learning very interesting and her kindness and understanding is very uncommon in college professors now a days...you shouldnt mistake her kindness for weakness. She is always willing to help her students! I feel very fortunate to have had her as a professor!
This is by far the best teacher I have ever had. Don't think it's an easy class, though. You NEED to do the work. Please take directions. She will help you if you ask for help. And, yes!!! Super hot!!! A+ She is my idol. Amazing human being!
highly enjoyable class!! she an amazing profession
highly enjoyable class!! she an amazing professor
Very engaging, enthusiastic, and fun! Going to class is the best part! Put in time & effort, you can probably get A. highly recommend! :)
Panella's a great speech teacher, she keeps things simple. Not only that, she's a great person and hilarious too.
Panella is an awesome professor who really cares about her students! She is hilarious too and hawt! I learned so much from her class.
panella is awesome. one of the best professors ever, fun, sarcastic, honest, if u wanna learn and have fun i really recommend this professor.
Panella is the hottest professor in PCC (: Her class was fun and you will learn a lot from her! I came out as a better public speaker and i learned vital tools that can truly help me in life!!!
Panella is one of the best teachers ever. I definitely learned a lot in her class. She is very helpful and clear. I had a lot of fun in the class too. If you want to improve your life and get out of your comfort zone take Panella. That is one of the main reasons i took the class and she made it a great experience. Thanks!
Panella is the greatest teacher I've ever had! Don't get my wrong, I hate public speaking but I took it hoping to improve my skills and that's exactly what she did. She helped me get over my fear of public speaking by teaching the class in ways that can relate to us from sex, funny/awkward moments, etc. She made my worst class the best class!
Panella is such a GREAT teacher, one of the best at PCC. She is genuinely interested in her students, and is passionate about what she teaches. Also, I did not vote her as hot because she told us to do so; She is SO hot and scrumptious ;D
Panella sets the bar high. Super supportive and engaging professor. You'll work hard, but are supported the whole way.
I was not happy about taking a public speaking class to begin with but, from the first day, Panella captured my attention. You are told up front not to expect a class with little work or "easy A's" but instead you will be taught and practiced in the course subject.But, if you pay attention, it is an easy A. This is a perfect class, if there is one.
She is an awesome professor makes learning fun and interesting
One of the best teachers I've seen in a long time. So good that one of her students was motivated to track us down and ensure we did this rating! (comment below me!) She will teach you everything you need to know and you will have fun learning it. She is tougher than normal, but it actually helps you in the end.
Not for the faint of heart. If you're looking for an easy A...move on! If you want a mind-blowing semester of self discovery and a criminally good time, this one's for you. If this doesn't improve your public speaking abilities...nothing will!!! Also...possibly the hottest teacher EVER!!! (sizzle)
Just too awesome
Absolutely fantastic prof. Made the class fun and engaging, I actually enjoyed going. This was the best class I've had at PCC, I've taken a quite a few. It is not easy A, you do have work, and a lot of assigned speeches, but if you actually want to learn something and not waste your time, take it. Plus, she is super hot!! Yummay!
Best teacher ever. Seriously awesome. Do the work, pay attention, take some notes and you have an easy A class. Participation is a must. I would take Panella's class every semester if it was up to me.
Most awesmenest prof ever!!! She will definitely make your time worthwhile on how to make and perform great speeches. Always excited to attend her class and group speeches are truely one of the best. I highly reccomend to take her if you wanna have fun making or learning how to do speeches.
Panella is the funniest professor ever! Before and during my first speech I was sweating bricks. I have never been good at public speaking and I felt like I was one of the least comfortable in the class.However, Panella grades you on how much YOU have progressed (not in comparison to your classmates).Take her! Don't buy the book you'll never use it
JUST ONE WORD " AWSOME" HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Her class is life-changing. Enough said! :]
Panella is among my favorite professors at PCC. Her lectures are engaging, entertaining, and funny. She made a facebook group for the class, which was really helpful. I learned a lot about myself and how I relate to others. Going to her class made my day every time because she made us laugh and smile so much.
She is really helpful, the whole class has 7 speeches, the only thing you need to do is to prepare your speeches, she gives a lot helpful advice, I made a lot progress.Take her class, you can be a better speaker. Pay attention, she is not a hard grader.
Great Professor! Really helpful, and understanding. I really improved my public speaking skills. No text book required. Even though you do have to do 7 speeches it's still worth it because you get more practice.
Panella is one amazing human being. i loved the class, it was simply amazing. if i can take every single class Panella offers, i would. There were 7 speeches in total, not difficult if one pays attention. just show up to class and participate. i was terrified of public speaking, but panella helped with everything and now i'm a better speaker.
I was afraid of speaking in front of class but now after this class i'm not. Panella is straight foreword about the amount of work require in class which is 7 speeches.
Professor Panella is the best teacher I have ever had. She helped me get rid of my fear of public speaking. If you are a shy person and hate to do speeches in front of people, she will help u with that. She explains and tells u what you need to do and say to deliver a great speech. After taking this class, I am going to take her other speech class
she is absolutlt the best speech professor you can have she makes it fun to learn again .
THE BEST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD AND EVER WILL HAVE. PANELLA IS GREAT, INFORMATIVE, VERY FUUNY, FUN, OUTGOING AND HELPFUL AND EMPATHETIC!!!
I am glad that I took this class with professor Panella. If you need to take Speech 1, PLEASE TAKE PANELLA! You will learn so much!
I am glad that I took this class with professor Panella! If you need to take speech1, PLEASE TAKE PANELLA! You will learn so much!
I will forever be greatful to Panella. This class was by far the best class I've taken at PCC. It is FUN, INTERESTING, and very EDUCATIONAL. I can now say that I honestly enjoy public speaking. This class requires plenty of time to PRACTICE speeches but the satisfaction having delivered a speech and not die is PRICELESS.
Class changed my life! She really knows her stuff. She is a must take!
Great Class, final was oral, just one question with cheat sheet :) super fun, super approachable, will talk about class and personal life if you want :)
Panella is not only a helpful educator, though a realist. Speaks the truth and as long as you are a good participant in class, it's all good. She is very humorous and has a brilliant attitude. Wish more educators were as motivating and supportive as Panella. Her tips & tricks are all applicable in communication to any / every major.
Great professor
Easy class as long as you try to use the techniques that Panella teaches. Very helpful and clear with directions. No textbook required.
Not a good teacher. NEVER SPECIFIC about what she wants. I would not take this class with her again. If she doesn't like your work she will be rude and tell you it sucks!
Class and teacher changed my life and how I view it. Totally recommend taking her and this class because you learn how to communicate with people and how to deal with situations. As long as you read the text, come to class for lecture, and actually CARE, you will pass. Excellent teacher and will take her again in the fall for fun.
I liked her class. She is very entertaining, which makes class worth attending. There are a lot of group projects to do within class.
Panella's class is fun and you learn a lot about yourself! Panella wants you to succeed and have a good time, she is super funny!
This is a great class. Definitely take it this class. Panella wants the best for her students. If you need help just go and ask her. Assignments are easy. Tests and quiz are tougher but its possible to pass them. Participation is a must.
Enthusiastic instructor. Straightforward class. Minimal hw and rare use of the book, you'll be fine without the book. You can miss a couple days here and there. Great class and instructor overall!
Man if you ever need to take Speech 1 i recommend Panella. This class is so fun i garantee that if you do ur work and show up to class you can pass with a B. She's great and very helpful plus her class is so fun!her class is like a comedy show. She makes the class exciting!this is the professor you want for speech 1.
Panella is Awesome!! I have taken public speaking at another school prior to this class... what a world of difference. Do the work and put in some time practicing. you will be amazed how much better you will be at speeches. Class is fun, light hearted, and went quickly for a 3 hr class. Do yourself a favor and take Panella!
Great class to take if you are a shy individual because you have to get out of that comfort zone and Panella makes sure of that. Her class is fun and you learn great speech delivery strategies. Just put time in your work and you will be fine
I've never hard so much fun in a class. Panella is one of the best professors I have taken at PCC.
Panella is an awesome teacher! Very helpful with all of the work and tries to break down the nervousness people get when publicly speaking. It isn't the easiest class, but you WILL learn and you will have so much fun doing so. You can't go wrong by taking Panella!
Man, I love her. I mean, I'm seriously in love with her, and that's saying something. Of all the years I've been going to school, I've never met anyone who made me WANT to come to class, willingly, before she came along! Her class is incredibly fun and definitely worth taking. She made me want to pursue Speech as a profession. Take her and love it!
Panella is passionate about teaching, with that in mind she expects college level work from you. Sort of a new age professor with her energy, jokes and use of technology. Teaches the subject phenomenally, makes it entertaining and is a must-take professor at PCC. As mentioned before show up with college-level work and you'll love this class.
I took panella for a few speech classes and by far is the best professor I've ever had. You will earn your grade but it is one of the most helpful classes I've ever had. Panella is phenomenal and really makes going to class fun and not a chore. I cannot stress enough how amazing this class was and how amazing he is.
Awesome professor
Wonderful, engaging, professor. Very energetic; no chance in hell of falling asleep in his class. The material covered was at the same time easy and very useful – take Panella’s class seriously and it will help you in other classes and beyond school.
this profeesor is awesome and makes this fun and interesting . Attendance is mandatory easy class as long as you use "common sense". The professor is willing to help outside of speech transfers,majors etc....
BEST TEACHER EVER.
Panella is such a perfect teacher. OMG. Her lectures are very vivid and captivating and at the same time HILARIOUS. HAHAHA! I love Panella. She is very entertaining. What you will learn from her will be very useful in the real world. She is also attractive and hot to look at.
Incredibly clear, insightful, helpful, HILARIOUS, fun, AND you'll learn a lot. Come to class. You will not regret it! Best class ever.
