If you hate public speaking - take Angela! She will really help you through the process and you will have fun doing so! You need to come to class and do the work! It really seems like Angela loves her job and the class has fun learning!
Taking this class right now and love it! Angela is an amazing teacher! Thanks for a great semester!!
At first you might be overwhelmed, but after the first speech things get easier, to get an easy A i suggest you complete your outlines early and see her during her office hours, and practice of course! She is a terrific teacher and got me over my fear of public speaking!
Once I got over working in a group this class was great! Angela is willing to go out of her way to help! She does crazy activities that help pass the time in class! Much better then lecture! Thank you Angela for a great class!
Angela was so encouraging and created a safe place to delivery speeches. Great all around professor!
Absolutely loved Angela and her Comm 312 class!
I took her Hybrid class and loved it. Always do the discussion board posting and remember to take your quizzes. COME TO EVERY CLASS EASY POINTS. I HIGHLY recommend getting your outlines checked during office hours. She's very helpful during her office hours. GREAT PROFESSOR! Not a hard class if you put in the effort.
Angela Prelip is a wonderful teacher, the speeches are nerve racking but she really makes you feel at ease about it. Tip: If you take every single quiz and really participate in class you will pass even if you do badly on your speeches. Group work feels hard but is really rewarding. And focus on the symposium speech, that one is the hardest.
Angela is amazing! Truly the best teacher I have ever had!
Make sure you do the reading and discussion board postings! Angela will help get you threw this class! Just trust her - she is a great instructor!!
I learned so much in this class!
Angela is the best! Her teaching style is clear and she uses the checklist in D2L to help keep you on track.
I took the hybrid class and it was so easy. A good amount of homework in the beginning, but it's easy and goes away. Angela is awesome and hilarious and creates an environment comfortable for speeches. Quizzes are online and easy. She offers extra credit. This class was an extremely easy A along with a great teacher.
Prelip is an amazing teacher - good examples in class. Pay attention, do your homework, she'll recognize your hard work! She is very easy to talk to about assignments and is very knowledgeable.
Angela was a great teacher. Very supportive if you showed you were putting forth the effort. I wish I had taken more communications classes now. Just be sure to do your assignments on time and with some kind of effort. The speeches became much more relaxed as the class went on. This is the first class I was truly sad to have end.
She was so helpful and always answered any questions I had and always made sure that I understood what I was doing. She is very laid back and funny, but when she wants your attention you better give it to her. Homework is due every week in her class but the assignments are really easy if you use the book and pay attention. Easy A
Very nice lady. She gives many assignments but if you put forth the effort you'll get your "A". I'd only do this class if you like group projects because there are a ton. I actually made some good friends though so, overall a positive experience.
Angela is a very smart woman and has a great approach to teaching. Very good at helping students become comfortable speaking. She allows her students to be creative and is willing to help with any questions you have. As long as you put your phone away, engage yourself, and show her that you are making an effort then you will pass. She is great
Take Angela's class and you will learn a lot!
Keep up with the work and Angela will help you with your speeches. She is great! I really enjoyed my semester because of Angela!
Great semester!
Angela is a great instructor. She really cares about her students!
Take Angela - she is amazing!
This is the class to take for Public Speaking! Trust her - she knows what she is doing! If you listen and complete the assignments, you sill do good in the class.
Gives you allot of busy work for first ten weeks then piles on speech every other week for rest of semester. Too much work busy work.
Angela is amazing! Some students complained about the work which I found annoying! Grow up! This is a college class not high school! This was my 3rd time taking public speaking and because of her I passed and learned a ton!
Best teacher EVER!
This is my second time taking Angela! She is a great instructor and makes a hard subject easy. Do the work and you will learn how to present speeches. We all wish we could take speeches out of the class, but this is public speaking so that won't happen. The work she gives leads up to speeches so it gets easier as you go along!
Love this class and love Angela! She is a great instructor!
As much as I hate public speaking angela was great! I realize as I said good bye to my classmates that I actuality know all their names because of Angela's approach to her class. You will feel overwhelmed at first but stick with it because the class gets much, much easier as the semester goes. Thank you Angela for a great semester!
This is one of those great classes where if you show up and do your work, you'll get a good grade. She is hilarious and going to class was always enjoyable. She likes to have you work in groups on an in class assignment each class period so you have to come to class or your grade will suffer. Read the textbook and you'll pass the weekly quizzes
Great class - Great Instructor! We all hated the speeches, but that is just part of the class! I never missed class because Angela always makes it fun! She really cares that you pass and will help you!
Just finished the class and I have to say thank you to Angela for a great semester! You are a great instructor!!
Angela is an outstanding instructor! You will have a lot of work in this class but you will learn a lot. Now that the semester is over, it doesn't feel like there was a lot of work (compared to my other classes). Once you get over the panic of giving speeches, this class is a great class!
Take Prelip if you can! She is a great instructor! I had her for a 7:30am class and she keeped us going and made the time go by fast! I still hate public speaking, but that's not her fault :-)
I just finished her summer Comm 321 online class! The discussion board questions are great! They don't feel like busy work and really encourage classmates to talk to one another! She give great feedback and response to emails right away! The assignments are centered on the book, so make sure you get it right away! Take Angela - She is great!!
Professor Prelip knows her stuff! Expect to use D2L for her class as she puts everything into checklist. The checklist are great because you always know what is due each week! Don't over think this class! If you stress out about speeches then the assignment seem harder then they are. Face-to-face classwhere fun. Had a great semester!
Prof Prelip makes you work for your grade, but she also gives you opportunities to earn extra points. She relates to all students well, is respectful towards students and expects them to be respectful to others. She encourages openness in class as a tool to learn the material better. She inspires students, and has a loyal following of students.
I'm sad to see "easiness" rated at 3.6 by all past students, because it is easy to get a good grade, if you do the work. And the work is easy, but thoughtful. You cannot expect to skate through and get a good grade, that would not be fair to the students who do the work.
If you're scared of a public speaking take communication 361! You still have speeches but they're fun and relevant to life. I wouldn't say it's an easy A but I would take Professor Prelip again anytime!
Dr. Prelip is an outstanding instructor! I took Comm 361 and 321 and loved both classes. If you are not a communication major, take Comm 361! It is the best way to meet the public speaking requirement!
I have taken several classes from Angela! I would highly recommended taking her Comm 321 and 361 classes. She makes learning fun and the time fly!
Angela is by far one of the best instructors I've ever had! She treats students with respect and really knows her content. Angela is funny and really makes the time fly by. I look forward to taking more classes with Angela in the future!
More work than I expected. More work than all my other classes put together. Nice lady, fair teacher.
Prelip is super charismatic and does a great job of relating the subject to real life. There is a lot of work, but it mostly consists of discussions and journals. Quiz questions are taken word for word from the book, so if you read the book, you'll pass the class. Never a dull moment in her class.
I really liked Angela both as a person and as a professor. She knows the agony most students feel over the required public speaking course, but she does her best to make it painless. My fellow classmates were also very supportive. Most speeches were relatively easy to write. I would take her again if I had to take another comm class.
Angela was such an incredible teacher to have. She makes you feel incredibly comfortable when presenting speeches by using different techniques in the beginning of the semester. I used to have really bad speech anxiety and she was able to help me manage it. She is very easy but still gives you great feedback on your speeches.
she actually wants you to succeed and cares about you. The discussion boards honestly suck but they are not hard. she lightens up the homework when the rest of your classes are getting really hard. she is funny and the class ends up being really enjoyable. im taking her other class next semester if that explains anything.
Angela is amazing! I love the fact I only have to go to class once a week and have learned a ton from the discussion questions. You get out of this class what you put into it! I can't wait to take Comm 321 with Angela in the spring!
Professor Prelip actually cares about her students and wants everyone to be successful. She'll work with you if you're nervous about public speaking, if you forget something, or are having a bad day. She's really great!
Angela truly wants to see her students succeed. Public speaking can be intimidating, but Angela does a good job of making it fun and not so scary. My only disappointment was that she talks really big, but then doesn't follow up. I don't like it when teachers extend too much grace as it makes it unfair for those who show up prepared. Great overall!
Prelip took away all the anxiety in public speaking. She made sure we felt comfortable and prepared before giving speeches and I actually didn't get nervous to speak after the first one! Her course is laid out so that you don't have a big final, just a fun speech so you can focus on other classes during finals week which was so helpful.
Angela is so awesome. I had her for 301 and 361 and right now 321 and 325. She makes public speaking amazing. She wants you to do your very very very best. If you do your best and follow the book and have confidence, you will do well in speaking in front of people. I am happy I took her for public speaking. She is very helpful. You got this :)
Angela's online classes are straightforward. Each week you have a quiz and two discussion board questions with the occasional paper. there's no guesswork and what she requires each week The discussion board questions are relevant and don't feel like busywork.
Took this class as a graduation requirement and really ended up enjoying it. Angela is a great professor. She's a very easy grader. If you follow the rubric you will get 100%. You don't do much in class but she gives points for attendance. There is a lot of writing for speeches. Take her and you won't be sorry!
I took her online Comm 325 class. I loved the subject and learned so many new things. This class was loaded with lots of work. I've taken a bunch of online classes before and never have I ever stressed over a class this much. She gave us so much work. I was taking one other class and working part time and still struggling.
I took the hybrid class. SO nice! Plans out the schedule so that you front load the work the first half of the semester, but by the time you take midterms in your other classes, you are able to relax in this class. She is really teaching from personal experience and is very relate able. There are a few group projects but she is helpful with them.
Professor Prelip is the BEST. Took her online Comm321 as a prerequisite for the sonography program. Highly recommend her to everyone. Her syllabus is straightforward. Turn in your work once a week with a couple days extra to reply to the discussions. Weekly chapter journals which are super easy & a great way to reflect on your communication skills.
I took this class for credit but it ended being my favorite by the end of the semester. My only regret is that I took it online and not in person. The material is dense but Professor Prelip makes everything relate-able to your life so it does not seem like work. I learned a ton about myself and other cultures, I recommend this class to anyone.
I have taken 4 classes from Angela and I enjoy her a lot. She makes the homework understand and if you do not get it, she is there to help you. I have taken her for Comm 301,321,325, and 361. I love it and she is very caring and helpful. While you are studying for midterms and finals in other classes, she has no midterm or finals. She is amazing.
This class was an easy A, but, there was so much homework. Expect two discussion boards a week as well as a quiz and a chapter journal. The discussion boards can be anything from "Describe one time..." to "Watch six 20 minutes TED talks and write summaries" this class could be fun if I had time for it, but, it was just too much work.
Angela is the real deal! She is an amazing professor! All the homework relates to the class and helps make sure you are learning what is important! This class is a must take!
Angela is AWESOME. She is so knowledgeable but also relate-able and approachable. Highly recommend for public speaking - or any other COMM course. She holds you accountable and requires you to put in the work, but is extremely fair and clear in expectations. There's a lot of information... go to class!
An ok professor. She is very kind and funny and wants you to succeed, but is very CONFUSING! She expects all work to be done online and turned into canvas and work to be done through google docs. She has you read online "handouts" for each project due, but is not clear about really anything! I spent most of the class confused on what to do....
I have taken public speaking twice and I am so grateful for landing in Angela's class! Every assignment has a handout and a grading checklist so you understand exactly what to do. She is quick to respond to emails and always available to help. Her expectations in class are clear. Public speaking is hard but Angela makes the class bearable!
We need more professors like Angela!!! She cares and is incredibly insightful and super interesting. I'm not a communication major but this is one of my favorite classes!! There is a lot of reading and writing, but it's quick. There is no final or midterm, so thats the trade off. Class is always an interesting group discussion
This class is not hard, there's just a lot of work. I took her 100% online class, so make sure you read all of her instructions carefully, and listen to her video instructions. Speeches done on zoom, really easy to use, especially after the first speech. This is an easy A as long as you make time to do all the work as directed.
Took her online class, and it was n easy Pass!
I took the online 301 class because of my stage fright, but in this class it was so much easier to present. I thought this class would be a walk in the park but there's actually quite a lot of assignments that you need to stay on top of to get an A. Lots of DQ's and assignments, but it's all to get you ready to present your speech.
She's such an amazing professor, but be ready to work hard and you'll do great.
At first, I was so nervous to take my online COMM 301 class, but Professor Prelip's online lectures are very helpful. She gives extra credit points for her quizzes. I really like how Professor Prelip understands that her students are humans too, and she is not strict with them.
She's a fun professor! Will have you be super involved in class and by the end of it all, you'll know all your classmates. She was a bit scatterbrained and took weeks to grade our work. Class was also canceled quite a few times. But I'd definitely take her again! It was an easy and fun class.
Professor Prelip takes the anxiety out of public speaking and really helps cater to her students. She makes a class that many dread, and turns it into something pretty fun at times. Online delivery of speeches is smooth, but there is a lot of moving parts you need to keep track of online.
She is super sweet and a great professor! She made this class very easy. There are quite a bit of discussion board questions, even a few that require you to film a video, but everything was explained well and easy! Definitely take her if you can!
Took her for comm 301 online. There is a lot of work and online discussions but it's a really easy A if you do all the work. She's very caring and understanding. Speeches are done over Zoom. Definitely take her.
You must take Angela! She is the real deal and will teach you how to develop and deliver a speech! She is clear and very organized!
Professor Prelip is a great teacher but I would not recommend doing the class online. I did it online thinking it would be easier, but it definitely is not. Presenting in front of a webcam to your classmates is MUCH more awkward and clunky than just presenting in a classroom. Wish I had done an in person class. Otherwise the class wasn't too hard.
Professor Prelip is a great professor. I took this class online and there is lots of reading but assignments are easy.
I took her online communications class last year. The class was great and shes very clear on what she expects from her students. Her feedback is great, all though if she disagrees with something you say she does let you know. You can not skip the speeches!
Well, I want to make it short and tell you guys if you want to leave the world, job, family and do nothing except this bizarre class, then take it. She is extremely loading student with heavy material and a lot of discussion, a lot of replies, and so many other materials that is not possible for a student who has life and other classes in college.
Angela was an amazing teacher and I would take her over and over again! The workload is easy for COMM 321. It is just a journal and two discussion postings a week. There is no exams and no final. Her expectations are clear and consistent. She gives great feedback. I highly recommend all students take her!
I took Prof. Prelip in the Fall of 2019 and she is an awesome teacher! She really knows how to make an online class feel more personable. My only struggle in class was that a lot was required every week with two discussion boards, a journal, and an essay type quiz addressing material from the text. Due to a lot on my plate, it got hard to keep up.
The heaviest online class I have EVER taken! Prelip requires thorough discussion boards (with replies to 4 people!) and journals every week. Her directions are confusing and she is a strict grader! if that isn't enough she makes you watch vids for attendance and type the things that she says as proof you watched! This class is full of busy work!
This is one of the best class to date in my college career! She sends personal emails with class updates. The class is well thought out. Its great not to have quizzes! The journals and discussion board questions are clear and easy to answer. Prelip videos are short and explains everything you have to do over the module. I would highly recommend!
If you want to keep your life dont take this class. Very heavy work load and no time for anything else not even your other classes. Be prepared to have at least 5 assignments per week. Shes a very tough grader & doesnt give very good feedback.
I took Angela's online Comm 321 class and loved it! We had one or two discussion board assignments, a journal each week and a final paper. The discussion board assignments are well thought out and are very applicable to life. There are NO QUIZZES or EXAMS! Angela gives feedback and responds to emails fast. I would highlight recommend her!
Nice topics but tons of homework. Almost never gives feedback. No lectures, just videos of her reading what you can read for yourself on the modules. One or two discussion boards plus a 3 pages journal every week.
Angela is probably the best prof Ive had in my 2.5 years of college. She really cares about helping you succeed. The class is definitely a decent amount of work but it is an easy A if you complete all assignments. She explains expectations clearly and responds quickly to emails. Taking my third class with her next term!
This class was a life changer! Prelip was clear on what she wanted and the assignments all made since. The readings, videos and activities helped me grow into a better person! Prelip was always available either using Zoom or by email. Her grading was clear and i appreciate all the feedback on assignments.
This class was straightforward. Each week we had to complete a discussion board question and a journal. NO QUIZZES or EXAMS! I appreciate the fact that I feel like I learned something. I would highly recommend Prelip to anyone!
Whatever you do, don't take this class in the summer. It will take all of your time! Better fall or spring. My summer was spent writing endless essays and constantly reading.
I took professor Prelip for both summer (comm 321)and fall (Comm 351) semester. her classes are extremely easy to navigate, and her expectations are very transparent and easy to follow. Comm 321 was my favorite course as the continent was very relevant and life changing. It should be a requirement for all students to take.
Professor Prelip was such a great professor, I had so much fun in her class and looked forward to her assignments. You have to make sure to do all work as that is basically your attendance so as long as you do that you will get an A.
slayed
great teacher. Just make sure to attend all the zooms and you'll do just fine.
Professor Prelip is a professor you SHOULD take as she is caring and clearly likes teaching this class. The Zoom speeches are certainly better than doing it live and I found them much more manageable. Grades being released in huge groups at once meant it was difficult to gauge where I stood. I learned a lot and enjoyed the class overall.
Professor has clear expectations throughout the course. As long as you follow the rubric for each assignment, it is easy to do well.
The professor should just teach an in person class. If she wants us to be graded on attendance. and make us listen to 20 minute rambles that could have easily been typed out.
This professor is all over the place. There is a time and place to be thorough, but she is too much. I spent more time in this class than all of my other technical classes, all because the logistics of her class are not optimized. She means well, but in doing so much, the course is bogged down with logistical speed bumps that make life harder.
By far the best class I have taken at FLC! Angela's class is clear and to the point! The layout of the class is easy to follow. Students are lucky to have Angela as an instructor if you can get into her class!
The hidden gem assignments are the most childish, pointless assignments you will ever do.
The best professor ever! I loved the hidden gems - you know what to do and feel like Angela is with you during the semester! The work is easy to follow. The assignments are relatable! This class is a must-take class!
Prelip is an amazing teacher and I loved this class! The class is easy to follow and navigate! I wish I could take Prelip again!
This professor has clear guidelines on what she wants, and good lectures, but she grades slowly.
Professor Prelip is a great professor and she tries to make the class fun and enjoyable. She does grade slowly and attendance is MANDATORY, she does not post instructions for some assignments, you have to be in class to receive the instructions verbally. I would take her again!
Prelip was very clear with her expectations/grading criteria. At first, it was a LOT of busy work so be prepared for that, but overall she grades easy. The speech criteria was very clear and she was helpful with telling us how our speeches should be written and formatted. I had dreaded public speaking, but it went much more smooth than expected.
She's a really good teacher. We used an online textbook but it was free. There was a lot of writing in this class but it was really easy because you have to use your personal experiences when writing. There were no tests. Just stay on top of the assignments. Assignments were pretty consistent every week. 1 essay at the end is the final.
Dr. Prelip is a great professor. Turn everything in! Total of 5 or 6 speeches. She makes a point to make information accessible and easy to understand, even for beginners. Might seem intimidating to ask her questions at times, but just don't ask her questions that would be in the material she already handed out. A graduated cool girl. V chill.
For someone who teaches a communications class, she is AWFUL about communicating. It took over 3 weeks and multiple messages before I received a response, on multiple occasions. She does not communicate at all and puts students at risk of failing the class due to her negligence.
I've taken her before this class, she is packing on more writing assignments these days. She assigned meeting times for an asynchronous class. Did not like that we had to attend meeting days that we were not presenting. It defeated the purpose of taking an asynchronous class. very nice person otherwise. Is in east coast so theres a time difference.
At first, she was attentive and clear in each module, but then she stopped responding to emails and posting videos. She also has a lot of busy work. you will get frustrated taking her, but she isn't that bad once you're done. I believe she lacked this semester due to something personal but it would have been nice if she communicated.
She expected we us to be on time and at every zoom with no late assignments. I would understand this if she held herself to the same standard. It is the end of the semester and she has missed zooms and has graded only one of our speeches, with no feedback. Hard to get a hold of and ultimately just gave us busy work. Felt like we had no teacher.
I would definitely take Angela again! Follow the modules and you will have everything you need to be successful in her class! Top-level professor!
Professor Prelip's COMM321 class is a breeze if you stay on top of the assignments. The work is engaging and relatable - unstuck ai was a lifesaver for exam prep. Highly recommend!
I hated this class. The weekly journal assignments and double discussion boards are excessive. Grading criteria is clear, though.
Worst class I have ever taken! The workload is astronomical! I had a three unit class, it was more like a six unit class and consumed my entire week. The way she has assignments set up is all over the place and doesn't make sense. Very frustrating class. Doesn't respond well. Had to contact the Dean to get her to respond to a doctors note.
There was a 3-page journal every week and 2 or 1 discussion boards with 3 replies to other classmates required. A final essay is given in replacements for a final. NO exams or quizzes were given.
