She was alright. Her lectures are horrible, but she grades easy on speeches. 3 main speeches, and a few little ones. Weren't too bad but she doens't help at all with nerves, doesn't give advice for that.I have a HUGE fear of public speaking, but it wasn't terrible. I got an A. Extra credit given, easy online quizzes, open book,ALL answers on google

SUPER EASY! AWESOME TEACHER! take this teacher if you can!

I was really nervous for this class, but Mrs. P helped me a lot. She is willing to stay after class to talk over things like nerves or assignments. Make sure you turn stuff in on time cuz she doesn't take late work. The class seems really easy cuz she tells you exactly what to do not like some teachers who give bad grades for no reason. TAKE HER!

She is good teacher but at times not very clear with some of the assignments. She is wishy washy(moody at times)I would recommend her.

Shes nice and helpful. Very easy A class. Speeches are easy and she is an easy grader too

Easy teacher, grades easy on speeches but horrible with her lectures. I would have to say she is the best speech teacher to take.

She is very helpful and understanding. All you have to do is come to class and pay attention. She tells you all you need to know to pass the class. I passed her class with an A. I highly recommend her.

She is an amazing teacher. She makes you very interested in the class. I recommend her to anyone taking Com103, interested in writing or not!

She's lenient with grading speeches, but if you don't do the online quizzes, you're screwed.

Great Teacher! Assignments are super easy. Makes class enjoyable. If you think public speaking is hard, TAKE HER!!

She made public speaking so easy. I never thought I'd do as well as I did talking to people like that. She is really good at what she does and honestly, if your shy and nervous to take this class, don't be as long as she's your professor.

Awesome and sweet teacher. She was so nice and made speech in a way too easy. She taught the subject knowingly and well.

Professor Pettigrew is a really nice person always there to help if you need it, made speech class simple .

Mrs. Pettigrew was really clear in what she expected and not a hard grader at all. You definitely need to attend class to know what is going on. Her lectures are kind of boring, but make sure to pay attention because you will need all that information for the final. I would definitely recommend taking her class.

Shes very specific in what she wants for your speeches and lets you know that. She stayed 30 minutes after class to help me with one of my speeches. definitely do the online quizzes, they're sooo easy just time consuming.

Mrs. Pettigrew is amazing, she is very informative, she is a great teacher. I wish that she taught different classes. You will learn a lot in this class. I sad that it is over.

I love Ms. Pettigrew!! She is such a great teacher and she will make you feel welcomed in her class. If you're nervous about public speaking (most people are so don't feel like you're the only one), she will make you feel confident!! Take her, you won't regret it!!

3 mini speeches, 3 major speeches. She makes you feel so comfortable presenting and she is such an easy grader. She connects with the class so well, she makes you feel like your best friends. Take her! she's the best, lots of extra credit so there is no way you can not have an A

GREAT teacher! I was very nervious about having to take a speech class but she made it so easy. her class is very chill and she makes you feel very comfortable. she is very funny and class is never boring. she really cares about her students. pluse she is a easy grader highly recommend talking her class.

Toke this class online, and it was a real pleasure having Professor Pettigrew as my teacher.

she is really nice! cares a lot for her students and will do her best to make you feel comfortable speaking! easy class, take her, you won't regret it

Ms. Pettigrew was an amazing teacher. She's clear on what she expects out of you and really tries to prepare you for public speaking. She's on stickler on turning things in when their due, but who isn't? I would definitely recommend taking her class.

I took Com 103, speech with her. Honestly the most nice professor you'll ever have. The work load isn't bad at all. Most of the work is explained thoroughly in class. Made public speaking very comfortable! This is the best Com 103 professor you could ever have!

Public speaking is scary sometimes, but Ms. Pettigrew made it fun & easy! She's so nice & she's very clear on what she looks for in the speeches and really helps you prepare for them. I like how she doesn't expect you to be perfect in your speech but still wants you to grow and expand your public speaking skills. I totally recommend her for com 103

While many people may not like public speaking, Ms. Pettigrew makes it really fun. She just wants her students to succeed and helps as much as she can. If you're nervous about speaking in public or just want a really fun, relatable professor, take her! 3 major speeches, 3 mini speeches and that's it.

- Teacher is AMAZING! -The most organized online class I have ever taken. -Everything is detailed to perfection. -There are many assignments but these help bump up your grade. - She responds quickly to messages and emails. - I always look on here when choosing classs/teachers and I am SO glad I chose this class.

Ms. Pettigrew is very nice and outgoing! She makes her class fun and interesting. If you're nervous about speaking in front of a crowd, she will make you enjoy it! You will not regret taking her class

I took her speech class online and it was pretty easy. The homework assignments through the online book were incredibly easy, it doesn't allow you to finish the assignment unless you've answered the questions right and they are all multiple choice, so... Speeches were easy and the requirements are clear.

I am not a public speaker and I hate to speak in public but with Ms. Amanda, I feel it was an easy class. She is so kind and at the same time she cares for her students, therefore, cares about canvas a lot, updated on the grades, helpful and gives chances in speech. Understanding in all cases. And an easy A with her, just do the work asked.

Good teacher but dont bother emailing her because she will not respond. Overall good and easy class

I don't think you can take a better speech teacher than her. I took her three week class over the summer and she made it bearable. She's caring and is an easy grader. I'm horrible at speeches and I've gotten an A on every one. Just make sure to do the online assignments and to have your speech fit within the required timeframe. Take her!

oh my gosh i was so scary to take this 3 week course, but she was so positive and gives my a positive vibes always. she is great and i recommend her for this course. i wish i can take this course for ever.

Easy A, take speech online if you have social anxiety or fear of public speaking. You record all the speeches online, and theres only 4. If you do all the work youll get an A for sure, just remeber to follow the criteria for speeches.

I had to take this class for my major and honestly this class was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. The speeches are easy to create, yes you had to have five people in the speech, but the grade I got in the end was worth it and I would definitely take her again if I had to. Very good professor and answered all of my questions when asked.

Taking Professor Pettigrew for a 3-week summer course was a great decision. I have the worst anxiety when it comes to public speaking but she makes it easier and more comfortable. Super supportive when giving speeches.

I had a regain of confidence in everyday conversation and in presentation. The fist day of class I did not look forward to, but that changed to the point that I was very willing to share my own passions with other people through a presentation. If you needed help she was always there, whether on or offline. Just make sure to do the online homework.

Most Homework is for a completion grade. There are lots of assignments but they don't demand a lot of your time and she allows you to work ahead. We performed 5 speeches for class and you get to choose the topic you want to talk about which makes it a lot easier. Ignore the bad reviews, as long as you do the work, you will pass 100%

She is amazing and smart!

I have so much anxiety about speeches but this class was great! I got to pick my topics, the instructions were clear and its all on the calendar. Do your work ON TIME and you will get an A - she is an easy grader - just read her rubrics. She always answered messages sent through Canvas - which she makes you use, but I got the APP so it was easy.

As long as you do your speeches well and on the day assigned youll pass. Textbook is online :) I enjoyed having her.

Assignments are well explained and you know what you have to do to get an A. Practice and completing assignments is all it really is

My final grade was a 100.1%, and in my opinion it was easy to get. There is a calendar that shows all the assignments, and when they are due. There are no surprise assignments, and there is sometimes extra credit. I took this in person, which helped me improve my public speaking. Late assignments not graded, but calendar shows everything.

Professor P, Is great everything is laid out step by step and she gives extra credit, do all the homework and speechs and its an easy A, also she gives great critical criticism on class speeches. Highly recommend taking her class.

Take her online speech class. You won't regret it. The best decision I ever made. So easy. Shes awesome.

TAKE THIS CLASS! Mrs. P is an amazing teacher and you will for sure get an A in her class. Shes a really easy grader and gives no homework. No tests or quizzes! She cares and is great!

Mrs. P is the best teacher ever!!!!! The class was sooooo easy, even in person. She is the easiest grader and never gives homework! She really cares about us! Tons of extra credit!

I loved going to her class, because of the people but her as well. She was very easy to talk to, I wouldn't say she's a super tough grader but the rubric is very straightforward. Honestly, if you show up and do what you're supposed to and put in the work, it's an easy A.

she is a lovely prof but she did not respond to your email.

Great professor. Goes easy on grading, and makes what she expects of you clearly. Teaches you what she wants to see during speeches, and makes it an enjoyable class. She cancelled a couple of times, but that isnt a big deal.

Great professor. Took her over the summer and finished with a high A. If you keep up with the work and turn in all your speeches on time (following the rubric) the class will go smoothly. This was a 4-week course.

Professor Pettigrew is a great speech teacher. She explained things very well and was very straightforward and simple. She made me feel comfortable during my speeches and overall made me feel confident as a public speaker.

Took the four week course last summer. Definitely recommend doing it then. Used McGraw hill and those assignments were ok. Speeches are not bad at all, just follow rubric and make sure to hit minimum time. Four speeches total (one per week).

I took this class online and it was a total of 4 EASY speeches. Her syllabus will seem intimidating but her class isn't bad at all. A minimum of 6 people for your speech must be shown and if you would like you can put 2 people on facetime/video call. Final is an online proctoring on Mcgraw Hill.

A great professor and a really awesome person. I highly recommend her. She makes it clear what you have to do to get an A or pass the class. Gives great feedback and is not too judgmental. I am not good at public speaking so it really helps to have a professor that can empathize with students.

Great class, very easy. Consisted of 4 speeches and many assignments. Final was lowkey complicated questions each choice can be the answer. Syllabus looks hard the class isn't. Does not respond to emails often and if she does it's not helpful. Failed the final and still have an A. Do well on the assignments and presentations and you're chilling.

I began this class online then withdrew and took it in person, which was honestly the best decision I made. I had terrible anxiety with public speaking but I feel I got better with it. Pettigrew makes you so comfortable and I feel her expectations were not as high/strict as other professors I've heard about. She gives lots of extra credit too!

I don't understand what is wrong with these bad reviews. The class was really easy and workload is manageable.For those people who got zeros are really deserved since they didn't read the instructions carefully and didn't practice with the timer.

I took this class online! homework was on McGraw grades are mostly based on speeches, loads of extra credit, and not a tough grader as long as you do what is on the rubric. She is very nice and understanding. There are 4 speeches and 3 require 6 people to be in the video

Honestly I liked her. So much extra credit was given. If you actually try on your speech she will honestly give you an A. She was a super chill grader. She also canceled a lot which was nice because we only really needed class if there was speeches. I failed the final and passed with an A. Take her.

I took speech on the weekends with Professor Pettigrew and she was great! You do have to put in the work, but she is fair and helpful and offered extra credit to the entire class. She is a tough grader, but she literally tells you everything you would need to do get a good grade, you just have to listen and do it. Take her.

Would take her again! super chill, very easy work, barely gives out any hw..

I guess she's alright for an in person Com 103

She was consistently late to class. I feel compared to the other professors I have/had her Canvas set up is confusing and not easy to navigate. She uses McGraw-Hill and that was confusing at first but ultimately the assignments were easy. She doesn't respond to e-mails but on the flip side made up for that for being flexible with due dates.
