Nice lady. Take good notes on everything she writes on the board. Shubb is a very generous grader on projects, she knows public speaking can be tough. No quizzes, gives a study guide for everything on the final, plus final is open note and open textbook. C'mon, can't get any easier than that. Each class you'll find yourself checking out her shoes.

Shubb is a quirky professor with a stylish taste. What I didn't like about her class is the fact that almost all the assignments overlapped. So you either had way too much time to do something, or not enough time. The two speeches were done in the 1st half of the semester and were an easy A. The group project dragged on forever.
