I have learned more about acting in about 5 minutes than I probably ever will. ever. Brianne is helpful, extremely nice, and she knows what she's doing. You will definitely learn and love her methods and be a MUCH better actor than you were before you took this class, Trust me, your eyes will be open and your mind will be refreshed. Meisner rules!
Had her for speech class and made me feel MUCH more comfortable with my nervousness standing in front of people. Down to earth and would do anything in her power to help you succeed in being a more powerful speaker.
Brianne is an amazing Professor. She transformed my life. I am shocked at the negative comment. She has so much passion. She is a Meisner genius! I am a better person/actor having studied under her.
brianne beatrice is the best/most fun teacher i have ever had! she's hysterical and really catches your attention. it's impossible not to love her class!
She's a great teacher, he methods are unusual yet effective. she brings such positive energy into the room you leave her class everday in a good attitude. I've learned alot from just the simple things she's said and her sensitivity to every student and patience to help.
Brie is one of the best teachers I've ever had. I currently have her for public speaking. She's very outgoing and loving and her class is so much fun. She is one of the most positive people I've ever met. She brings such a good energy and makes you feel important. She's very funny and spiritual. You definatly want her as your teacher
I love her to death. She is an awesome teacher and fun to listen to. She can relate to her students, and is extremely easy to talk to.
Okay, her class is sooooo easy...she cares about your GPA, so easy grader. The person who wrote that her passion is not here is correct. She is passionate about acting and that is it. Her mood depends on what the guy in her life is treating her like. She is hilarious and every class is interesting. TAKE HER IF YOU CAN.
Awesome teacher. Very interesting, never dull. I always look forward to the next class. So fun. Take her if you need a Speech class.
Awesome teacher. Very interesting, never dull. I always look forward to the next class. So fun. Take her if you need a Speech class. Best teacher.
I really love having Brie for Public Speaking. I always look forward to her class since it's always a good time.
I took her class and it's easy to understand her if you ask her to clarify what's going on. I've never taken an acting class ever I'm doing pretty good right now. Thanks, teach. L
Brianne is amazing! If anyone wants to have fun in speech take her, was so nervous at first but she really made class fun and interesting! Just don't be a creep and she will like you.
She is an awesome teacher! she is the best teacher i have had at this school and she really teaches you alot. She makes you feel comfortable in the class.
One of the best teachers i have ever had. I went into the class shy and afraid to speak and at the end i was working hard to find things i would be interested in talking about in class to make my speeches even better. If your not taking acting classes you need to take speaking with her so that you can take a class with her at some point.
Took public speaking with her and she is the best! She's very funny and takes off the awkwardness of public speaking. She makes valid points and goes into interesting conversations. It's the first 8 am class I have ever looked forward to. loved her!!
Bri is really outgoing and friendly. She also has a good sense of humor, but sometimes targets kids in the class and makes fun of them--never anything mean... If you have any sort of sense of humor, you'll love her. This is the first 8AM I ever looked forward to.
Bri is super nice. She makes public speaking fun and takes the awkwardness out of it. The classroom is like a big family- not random people making speeches.
Bri is awesome! It took me a few classes to warm up to her bubbly personality, but she is extremely loving, understanding, and accepting! She makes everyone feel totally comfortable with themselves, and we have all become better speakers. She's also HILARIOUS. If you have to fit an 8AM into your schedule, make it this one! No regrets here!
Awesome teacher, very outgoing.. Has a great personality and makes public speaking A breeze!!! 8:00 am class
Awesome!!!! Great teacher very outgoing and professional! She's the best take her 8 am
Great teacher, and really helpful! She knows what she is talking about and makes the class interesting!
I was not looking forward to an 8 AM on Wednesdays and Fridays when I enrolled for the class. I walked into her class on the first day and I knew it was such a good decision to keep the class. I've learned so much and I wish I could take her again and the semester isn't even over! Definitely a MUST TAKE course!
AMAZING TEACHER! If you need to take public speaking try your hardest to take it with her, super laid back, super chill, super funny, and so sweet and nice. Favorite professor so far. I don't even want to leave her class
If you're looking for an easy A and a wicked nice teacher, take this class. Her assignments are so easy,and even if you hate public speaking, you will love this class. She's very young and a fun person to be around. If you can get into this class, I highly recommend taking it with her.
Absolutely incredible teacher! Easy A and extremely kind. attendance is mandatory but class is enjoyable. assignments are simple. TAKE HER!!!
I took Professor Beatrice's class this past semester. I don't agree that it's an easy A. It's easy to get an A because her class is so awesome at you do all the work and enjoy it because you like the class so much. She is serious about attendance and you MUST do all the assignments/speeches. BUT... she is amazing, funny, and a fabulous teacher.
Great teacher. She makes the class fun and engaging. My only negative thing I have to say is that she says to buy the textbook & I literally did not pick it up once. I tried to return it and I couldn't. Waste of money. Other than that, she's awesome and I highly recommend taking her, she'll boost your confidence and make public speaking seem fun!
Brianne is a high spirited and very positive professor! If you need to take public speaking I HIGHLY recommend taking it with with her. She will boost your self confidence and help you grow as a person. (she also comforts students after they speak which is very helpful)
Bri is a great lady. I'll admit, she's a bit scatterbrained and can come on a little strong at first, but she is a very warm and vibrant person
the BEST
bri is AMAZING! she is my favorite professor i have ever had! she is so bright and inspirational. i hate public speaking, but this was my favorite class, thanks to her fun personality and supportive teaching style. everyone should take her!!
Best teacher ever! makes 8 am classes work! Super nice, friendly, talkative, gets to know you on a personal level so you feel like awesome! No worries and no pressure. Brianne rocks! She even gave us the last day of classes off because she could. Wish I could have her every semester. BEST TEACHER EVER!!!!
Brianne is the best, hella hilarious and patient. If you miss your speech she doesn't get mad she just tells you to do it the next time. Easy A!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loved her! She is very sweet! As long as you try your best, you'll do fine. If you are afraid of public speaking, then she is perfect for you. She takes the nerve off of it. By the end of the course you will be much better at public speaking and you'll wish you could have her every semester.
This class changed my life. Sounds like I'm being dramatic, but it's true. I honestly HATED the thought of taking Public Speaking and now I hate the thought of it ending. If you are looking to, not only "get through" this class, but to take with you valuable perspective and skills, all while actually having fun - Bri is honestly the BEST choice.
Best teacher I have ever had the pleasure of having. Everything about Brianne is amazing. She has the most outstanding energy. Even if this class isn't a requirement I would recommend taking it. It will change your life.
Bri is totally awesome. If you're nervous about taking a public speaking course I'd definitely recommend choosing her class. She's really into helping people come out of their comfort zone and empowering people to feel confident in situations where they might not always feel that way. Her class was definitely an eye-opening experience for me.
Bri is an amazing teacher and is incredibly inspirational. Try to grab her 8 AM slot, it's the best time to take her class even when you aren't a morning person.
Brianne is so amazing! Her class teaches you more about yourself and helps you come out of your shell to be a great speaker. Would recommend her to EVERYONE.
Bri is amazing, she teaches you more about yourself than anything! Unbelievable course... Never thought public speaking would be FUN until I got to this class!
Bri is a hilarious, inspirational, and talented professor. She constantly gives us great advise and gives us ample time to voice any concerns of anxieties we may have. You can tell she really cares for her students and their success.
Bri is an amazing professor, and truly gets to know the class. She is VERY understanding to any situation, so if you can't make it to class she will work with you. Take her 8 AM section and talk about Bagel World and Orange Leaf and it will be a blast. Be open to discuss, and don't be close minded. Take the fall section, it makes the howto more fun
Bri is such an amazing professor! She is very inspirational and makes you feel very comfortable in class. If you are nervous or uncomfortable about public speaking, take her class!! She makes you feel confident and inspired to work hard in the class. She is also really funny and laid back :) awesome class!
Brianne is super chill and very inspirational
Bri is defintely one of the BEST professors I've ever had! I wish I could have her for every class. She's wicked funny and makes you feel comfortable with public speaking and your whole class. She really cares for her students and makes you look forward to going to class. IF YOU HAVE THE CHANCE, TAKE A COURSE WITH HER!!
You are a fool if you don't take her class. Bri is by far the most inspirational professor I have ever had at Salem State. She does not make you think about dumb stuff in her class she makes you think about what is important to you and what you need from her class. She s amazing.
I love Brianne. She changed my life and helped me in and out of class. Public speaking is a breeze and I got some very needed self confidence. It's been a year since I took this class and I'm where I am mentally in part from her guidance. I've never seen a professor care so deeply for her students. This woman is a gift to the world of education.
Brianne is one of the best professors I've ever had. I HATED public speaking, but she makes the atmosphere in the classroom so comfortable. She really truly cares about her students and is such an inspirational woman. I can truly say that I am no longer as terrified of public speaking as I was before. I would highly recommend taking her class!
Brianne is an amazing soul. We don't deserve her to be honest. She is so passionate that I've actually seen her cry out of passion. That says a lot. She genuinely cares about the well-being of her students. When I first entered the class I was going through a tough time, and the same day she turned that vibe around and uplifted my spirit. Take her!
One of the best professors I've ever had. she teaches the curriculum and more. she teaches students to find themselves and build Self confidence. She goes above and beyond for her students to help make sure her students Will succeed. When I left this class I learned more than just how to publically speek, I also learned about myself as well.
Brianne Beatrice is truly a gift sent from god.
I have her for an 8 am class and I can honestly say that her vibe and energy just wakes me up. She's super chill and funny. She is willing to help you and give you good energy and will lift you up. Honestly, wish there were more teachers like her.
She is an amazing teacher! I have her for an 8AM class and I am not a morning person, but I absolutely love going to her class. She genuinely cares about her students and is always giving life advice that I honestly take into consideration. She has such a great view on life and makes you really want to do well in her class.
Amazing, amazing, amazing! Bri is inspirational and her lectures are amazing! This class is a lot of fun! Do not miss more than 2 classes for the semester, your grade will drop. Honestly the nicest professor you will ever have and so easy to talk to! Take her for public speaking, you'll learn more about yourself than you would have ever thought!
Bri is one of a kind. She understands that not everybody has the confidence to get up in front of a class and speak, but she meets you where you are and helps you get there. I cannot say enough about her, she models what every educator should be like.
id take her class a million times over. the most amazing compassionate person ever. wish every treacher was like her, she takes what she does beyond the classroom.
Brianne is the nicest most caring lady I have ever met. At the end of classes she gives us all a quick motivational speech to make us all better kinder people and put our lives in perspective. She inspires her students every day to be a better person than they were yesterday. Her class is easy breezy and light, you'll wish you had more time to hang
Brianne has taught me to be a better me. She is the most caring, loving, and beautiful person ever. She has a lot to teach you so show up to class. Her class is really easy if you show up and do the required presentations. you are awesome Bri! keep it up.
Bri is the best professor I have ever had at SSU. She is beyond caring, compassionate, and kind. She is amazing and if you ever get a chance to take a class of hers- DO IT! The speeches were interesting to do, and Bri creates such a wonderful environment.
Bri is a wonderful human being. I can't say enough good things about this woman. You get what you put into life and Bri will help you understand that. She has forever changed my life and has me reconsidering the way I think about life. TAKE HER CLASS! You will be so glad you did.
If you have a chance to take this professor for any class take her!! Her lectures are inspirational, her insights are thoughtful, and her stories are just amazing. Not only did I gain more confidence and speaking skills from this class, I also received a lot of wisdom. Having the opportunity to take this class with her was a gift!!
Brianne is the best professor I've ever had. She genuinely cares about her students and is such a genuine person. I hate public speaking but she made the class so comfortable and welcoming. I can honestly say that she changed my perspective about public speaking and life in general. I still use the lessons and values she taught in class to this day
Awesome professor
I absolutely despise public speaking. I have anxiety. Brianne has made me realize public speaking is about carrying out a topic bigger than ourselves and our body is just the delivery method. She has really inspired me. TAKE HER CLASS it'll make you cry.
You can tell that Brianne loves her job. She's positive, enthusiastic & not afraid to be real with you. She's smart & witty so don't try to bs her - she studied human behavior. She gives great advice about school & life. She encourages the class to be more confident. I learned about public speaking & also learned a lot about myself. Thanks Bri
Absolutely loved being in her class!!!! Super chill and easy, not hard at all.
Shes so awesome!! I hate public speaking and I still hate it but she made it easy and comfortable. Take her if you can. Shes also very understanding and she truly cares about her students and their success. She wants everyone to succeed. She has such a positive energy. Shes really awesome, take her if you can.
Bri was honestly one of the nicest professors I had in one of my hardest semesters. I was going through a lot and still managed to pull an amazing grade. You can tell she genuinely cares about her students and their growth. You won't regret taking her class!
Brianne is THE best professor I've ever had!! She's so caring and gives good feedback on your speeches. I was so nervous and scared to get up in front of the class and present my speech but she made it so fun and easy to do. She made the environment so loving. She was always so funny, which was good for our 8am class!!
I LOVE HER SO MUCH. She really cared about her students and wants to see them succeed. The class is basically mini and major speeches. The mini ones are pretty easy and aren't graded, just do them for completion. The major ones aren't too hard but you get a grade on them. I wish I could take this class again, very light hearted and easy.
Amazing! So caring, gives good feedback. She treats us like her friends rather than students. Hilarious. She makes public speaking less intimidating.
Every good thing on here is true, she really is one of a kind. Makes everyone feel comfortable in a public speaking class where a lot of people really didn't want to be there initially. By the end of the semester no one wanted the class to end.
The nicest professor you will EVER have. She made my adjustment to college life so much easier. Her positive attitude and encouragement towards her students are extremely empowering. As an autistic and socially anxious student, I was nervous to take this class. Brianne helped me connect to a love of performing outside of theatre and choir.
Brianne is so kind, this was such a great class. Public speaking is really scary but Brianne will try her best to make you feel comfortable. If you need to take speech choose her!!
She's amazing and one of my favorite professors I've ever had. I just wish I actually got to have her class she would cancel so much and I wish I got to experience what everyone else experienced in this course. She's a very easy grader and when she says you can do a speech on anything she means it. Please take her for speech she's so good.
She is kind and charismatic, the class was a presentation class so attendance and participation were mandatory, overall she is an easy grader, with clear expectations, and does not post Canvas other than when she cancels class, take her if you want a laid-back class, and to develop some confidence in oral presentation.
Bri was an outstanding professor, she does cancel class a lot, but she will make sure that you will do the speeches on time and finish them, she is very kind and wants you to succeed in this course. Please take Bri for Oral communication you will absolutely love her!
Bri was the best professor I have ever had. She is so kind and genuinely cares about you and your success. She makes you comfortable and makes public speaking not so scary. Classes are fun and I always looked forward to going. If you have the chance to take a class with Bri definitely do it.
Amazing teacher, she gave us 3 major speeches that were 3-5 minutes in length, and then 3 small one which you pass for just doing it. Gave us many days off to work on our speeches outside of class. Shes very funny and a truly amazing teacher I would definitely take her class!!!
the only professor you should choose when taking this class! she truly cares about her students/her job and you can tell. probably one of the best professors i will ever have. she is great at connecting to the class and making you feel seen. authentically herself and am truly grateful to have had her!
BB is the best professor I've ever had. She made public speaking fun and actually something to look forward to. She's caring, funny, and gives amazing feedback that truly helps you improve. She builds confidence, supports every student, and makes the class unforgettable. I'm gonna miss her class so much, please take public speaking with her!!!
Bri is truly an amazing individual. She wants each student to grow and find their path to a good life. The speeches were simple as long as you stay confident. I 100% recommend taking this course mainly because she is the professor.
