For anyone who's shy or nervous at giving a speech in front of others, trust me she will make you come out of your shell. She's amazing, professional, very dedicated to her teaching. You only have 3 speeches and outlines to deliver. She let's you resubmit outline to get full credit and will work with you. Take her now! You won't regret it.

Professor Stark is the one of the most outstanding teachers out there to date. She has made sure to see each and every one of her students persevere. Coming into this class, I was incredibly nervous and expected a professor that was tough and expected perfection. However, Professor Stark only brought her best and nothing less. Thank you Mrs. Stark

Professor Stark was one of my favorite professors this far. She made intro to public speaking simple. She is beyond fare when it comes to grading and her class and lectures were enjoyable. Thee only way you fail her class is if you don't care and don't show up! Grade A professor, down to earth and real. This is actually a very useful class!

Going into public speaking I was a bit nervous, but Profesor Stark made this class a breeze. She is a very caring lady who is passionate about her job and wants her students to succeed. No homework- just 3 speeches and speech evaluations. Our semester was cut short and had to be moved online, but she was very accomodating with this change :)
