Professor Ashwini Kadave truly awesome. Prior to registering for her class, I could never imagine that I would be able to stand in front of my classmates and perform a speech. The intensive nature of the homework assignments was effectively designed to pull me out of my comfort zone. I highly recommended her to students but be ready to work hard.

Personally, I found her assignments tedious & I didn't like that she often divided the class (confident speakers & shy speakers). She was disorganized & students would often be confused about assignments given. Nonetheless, if you show up and do your work you'll definitely pass, she's pretty lenient. Offers PDF of textbook, & gives few quizzes.

As a freshman and being new to this school, she was an absolute amazing professor. She cares deeply for her students and makes sure they are successful. I would highly recommend her as a professor. She also gives extra credit a decent amount of the time.

Professor Kadave was a great teacher that communicates well with her students. It is clear that she cares about us. She gives you plenty of time to get assignments done, and provides plenty of room for feedback when it comes to presentations. Professor Kadave provides a very safe environment where you don't feel embarrassed or pressured to talk.

I enjoyed going to this class. I learned a lot and developed my ability to speak in the front of many people without panic. If it's sometimes that you want to do definitely take this class. However if you planing to sit quiet all the time this class is not for you. Here you got grades for talking, this is speech class!

Professor Kadave was the most caring professor I have had, she really wanted the best for her students, however you must also put in an effort. The class, quizzes and final were not had at all if you read the textbook (free online textbook), she also creates a comfortable classroom environment.

I took professor Kadave's Public Speaking class in Kingsborough community college. She is extremely accommodating, and always goes above and beyond for her students. She makes it clear what's expected of you, and although there was a lot of work at times, if you put in the effort, you will get a good grade. Really glad I took her class!

The professor is very organized and constantly reminds us of what we need to do, there are a lot of tasks, not so easy, but if you put in the effort, you will get good grades. For the guys who need to retake assignments, Professor Ashwini gives them a chance to correct their grades.

Professor Ashwini is a super Professor. Although she is strict, she is very kind and will always come to the rescue and give a retake if necessary and will never force you to answer if you feel bad. The class helps a lot in public speaking, which will always come in handy in life

she was nice really, if your a person who is a little shy at being in front of a crowd that's okay! because she notices the improvement from start of her class to the finish, really respect her and she helped me in public speaking a lot. #luvher. presentations were cool, nothing to crazy just make sure you put effort into them because she can tell

She was a delight to learn from. She built up my confidence in just one semester. She was very down to earth, and she treated her students like we were her family members and like her children. Ready to praise us if we did well, but she also demanded better if we were lacking in our studies. I would definitely take her course again if I could.
