I took Human Communication (a speech class) with her over the summer and I absolutely LOVE her- I couldn't believe she wasn't on here yet. She is extremely helpful and understanding (and funny) and all the assignments are very manageable. TAKE HER FOR YOUR SPEECH REQUIREMENT!!!!

i loved her class. she was very helpful with ideas if you were having trouble with a topic. but watch your spelling on any papers you turn in, she will take off points for lazy spellers

She has a great personality. I hated giving a speech, but this class has helped me get over that. I would recommend her to anyone.

Ms. Bridges was a wonderful teacher, very fun, and right to the point. Just who I needed as an instructor. I'm a non-trad. married student with busy kids. You will enjoy her class!

Great teacher and a lot of fun. I really didn't want to take a speech class but it was a required cr. I'm so glad I had her, I enjoyed her class and her as a person.

I was nervous about taking a speech class, but Professor Bridges made it easier to handle. She grades fairly and quickly, so you'll know your grade for an assignment often on the same day you turn it in if you know how to use Blackboard.

Very nice teacher. Tries to make class fun. Lectures are a little boring but a farly easy class.

She is so nice, easy class, interseting. Likes to talk alot, but it is comm class! Def take again!

She loves speech. She has a way of making you cheerful and interested in the class. Is always offering suggestions on how to remember things making the two easy tests even easier. She gives your grades back very quickly. I live close to the school, and I could get out of class, get home, jump on the computer and know my score.

Great class. As long as you keep on top of the assignments you'll be fine. Have to read the book for the tests. Makes class fun, lots of stories and examples.

Good teacher! Just don't be an idiot in her class and every thing is good.

She is wonderful!! Just go to class and do what she asks of you and you will get a great grade!! I am take a second speech class cause she is so awesome

Very picky on speechs but tells you exactly what you need. Follow the outline she give you, you'll do great!!

was not excited about taking this class but she tries her hardest to make it as easy as possible. she splits the class in half rather than giving your speech in front of entire class

Dr.Bridges is a very good professor. She does a great job of making everyone feel as comfortable as possible and making her expectations clear.

If you are uncomfortable/do not like public speaking Ayanna Bridges Speech 102 class is for you. You only have to give three speeches, one being a group speech and the class is not hard. I will say she is nice and easy, but is very unclear with her expectations. Just show up and put in some effort and you will get an easy A.

Dr. Bridges is a good instructor. She is a fair grader (maybe even a little too fair), so you won' lose a lot of points on things. Her tests are fairly simple (25 questions and straight from the lectures) The only way you can fail this class is if you didn't put forth the effort. Come to class and pay attention, and you will finish strong.

Super easy, the only thing that bothered me was she is a doctor but still uses words like "axe a question" or "pichures" No need for textbook dont waste money

Dr. Bridges was so great and really helpful. The point of this class was to show you how important college is and how to succeed; and Ayanna inserted her own "How I learned" stories and really emphasized the importance of the material.

I have taken her before for speech and enjoyed it and her as a teacher. I decided to take her intro to film class. She makes this elective class way to hard. She does not treat it as a "Intro" class she acts like you are majoring in film. She grades hard in this class and the info she wants us to know is not got across well.

She can get on your nerves but she knows her stuff and her class is easy. I didnt like her that much but towards the end I was about to fail, she took time to help me with two of my presentations plus the final so I could pass. Just bear with her and show her your trying and you will pass.

She's really cool. Makes a terrifying subject fun. Yes speech can be nerve-wracking but she makes it easy to understand as long as you do your work. Very nice.

This was an 8 week speech class. She had a clear syllabus so you knew exactly when things were due. I liked her. She grades things fast and answers questions quickly. Really like her but not speaking in public ha!

I took an 8 weeks online class, super easy if you can record 3 speeches in front of 12 people who are 16 years old or more and two speeches withno audience required. the teacher was very helpful I graduated with 96.3. you will breeze through it if you do the work on time. you will have 8 unit quizzes and one final test and 20 assignments. that's it

PROJECTS! PROJECTS! PROJECTS! I love Dr. Bridges! She is one of the most down to earth professors with a doctorate. Be prepared for lots of creative work, it will be fun. I would recommend her to everyone.

8 weeks online class, test are easy. you have to record 3 speeches in front of 12 people who are 16 years old or more and record two speeches with no audience required. you will breeze through it if you do the work on time. you will have 5 speeches that you will upload to Youtube, 8 unit quizzes and one final test and 20 short assignments incl DB

Ayanna was a great professor! She worked with me on grading and helped with resources! I had a great semester and the key to her class is communication hence, the class! Love!

It is a long class, but the assignments are pretty easy. Quizzes are all on the computer and only one test, which is the final. You do have to write a paper that is 7 pages long, but after she gives you the rubric for it you will see it is actually pretty easy to do. And you get snacks when you watch movies in class.

There is a lot of homework but not overwhelming and easy to accomplish. She gives you everything you need to pass tests. The hardest part is you must record your speeches in front of 12 people. Taking an online class and not being in a classroom setting made this a challenge.

Great teacher, made speech class fun even when I was scared to talk in front of class.

Shes very nice Just make sure u keep up with the work

Great teacher. If public speaking isnt your thing like me, youll still get a good grade in this class. There are a total of 4 speeches you have to give. Introduction, Informative, Group project, and Persuasive speech. I definitely recommend her!!

I was in her Comm100 class. She is strict in her own ways, but if you ask she would clearly answer your question. Need to show up for class, will give you example of the speeches that she wants and straight forward on what she is looking for. Her instruction a very clear. Hard, bur rewarding. Would take again if I need to take comm or speech class

Bridges made speech class easy for me. She had a very structured class so it was easy to follow along. There isn't much homework. Make sure to cater specifically to her outlines, it makes the creation process easier. Always use the database for information it is much easier. Practice your speech and it will tremendously improve your performance.

4 speeches in the semester. 1 of them was a group project. YOU WILL have to get up and speak in front of a class and... surprise, you have to be confident and give a good speech to get a good grade. Just do a topic you actually care about, do a little bit of preparing beforehand and you'll be fine. She doesn't grade ThAt harshly, just be prepared

She was an amazing professor. I am not normally a speach person, but after her class, I no longer have a fear of public speaking!

I was so nervous to take speech, I am not good with public speaking at all! But taking this class with Ayanna Bridges made things easy. I took her class through zoom & we only needed to present our speeches in front of 5 other ppl, not the entire class. She's clear on her instructions, and if you do your work (it's not a lot) you'll get an A.

Dr. Bridges has a great personality! I took her class over the summer with zooms. As long as you stick to the rubric and prepare for speeches, you will be just fine. You do use the textbook, but mostly only for the midterm and final exams. I highly recommend this class over zoom b/c it gets you out of your comfort zone, but being at home helps!

She is a detailed grader: gives extremely specific instructions, if you do those things, you will get full credit. This was a speech class and 4 speeches were required, via video, with no audience required. Each week there was also very easy things like discussion board posts and checklists to complete, all worth points.

Everything she goes over in class is on Blackboard, she makes everything so clear and easy to understand. Sometimes she wouldget upset with students and not hold back I was kind of scared but it made me try! Pay attention on the zoom call, she wants you to listen. But if you don't, everything is online. All the content is in the textbook, need that

I wasn't sure how this class would go according to the reviews, but it wasn't bad for me over the summer. She's actually pretty nice & helpful. You just have to do well on your speeches irl & do good on your outline outside of class. My only downside is you would have pay a $80-100 textbook outside of class for testings + read chapters. Too $$$.

She was always helpful and never judged. Would recommend to anyone for an 8 week in person class.

Be prepared to participate a lot, and be prepared to talk to others.

I took her 8 week in person class over the summer and for being a nervous speaking person myself I loved her and she was soo caring and nice when we had to give speeches. I'm not sure how you can do bad in her class. This is an easy A and she genuinly cares about her students wish I could take her for another class.

Dr. Bridges was an amazing professor. She is very understanding. I would 10/10 take her class again. She is VERY clear on directions which is important. I had quite a few questions during the semester, and she responded quickly to my messages and is judgmental free. I really enjoyed her class.

Overall she was an easy grader and I actually enjoyed her class. I enjoyed working in small groups and working with them. She does a great job of breaking the ice. She has 12 discussions within the textbook which are VERY easy and easy points. During your presentations she gives feedback for the next presentation.

Kind teacher. The teacher likes to give lectures that will end up taking much longer than needed. She has her own online textbook and requires you to buy it to submit assignments through it. Overall though her class was good and I would have no problem taking it again.

Dr. Bridges is very easy to go to for questions and understands her students have other things outside of class. Lectures can get long but she makes them entertaining most of the time. Textbook is online- make sure to listen 1st day of class of where to get it. Midterm & final are based on the textbook & you can retake them before the due date.

Great professor, very clear in what she wants out of speech outlines and speeches. Answers any questions you might have. Grades in a timely manner and gives good feedback. Although she is very strict on deadlines and attendance. Thankfully I did not have to go out of town or get sick this semester.

Ayanna Bridges has the easiest class I've ever taken, she gives an outline to fill out for every speech and encourages creativity in speeches. My only problem was that she was VERY strict about attendance. In total I had around 5 speeches including the intro speech. 2 speeches were around 3 minutes and the others around 5 minutes.

She was very respectful and understanding. She always made it a point to make sure we felt comfortable and relaxed. The course itself was very light, with little testing. She has you scheduled days to speak so you only speak in front of 5-8 which is great for those not fond of speaking in front of big crowds.

She has a great teaching style. A lot of "mental health matters" and very "for the students." If you follow the textbook, you'll be great, and it's not difficult to read. Exams are in the textbook, taken on your own time, but they have a due date. The speeches aren't awful; you only do them in front of a handful of students. Very sweet and helpful.

I wasn't sure what to expect with an online comms class but it was pretty easy. You are required to present in front of 5 people but I lived alone so I went to senior living homes and it was actually a lot of fun. I took this as an 8 week course and was surprised about the small workload. If you take online classes try to get her.

Don't count on her ever accepting late work. I was nervous for the speeches, but she really broke it down step by step. She is professional but also cares and understands personal lives. The speeches were not given in front of the whole class, but rather in small groups. There are opportunities for extra credit.
