I love Mrs. Manzueta! She's super cool and funny. You have to do a summary on each chapter but it's only one page double spaced and there's so much in each chapter to right about so it only takes about 15-20 mins. She's an awesome teacher and loves to help! Definately recommend her for speech class! I look forward to her class every day
Great teacher, isn't too hard just do the work and the speeches. She's very funny and conversational, I recommend her
Dr. Manzueta is an excellent teacher. She is very easy to get along with.The work is pretty much just chapter summaries (max one page double spaced) and 4 speeches which are always your choice of topic. It's an entertaining class.Dr. Manzueta is lenient with grading. Just do the work and and receive a good grade.
This class was amazing. Manzueta is so easy going and easy to talk to. She is clear with her arguments and makes the class very interesting. Overall the class is not hard, you need to put some effort, but easily you will get a good grade!!
She's a very nice woman! Like everyone else said, you have to do chapter summaries (& that's the only negative thing I could think about this class.) I would definitely recomend her.
Manzueta was an amazing professor! Class is easy, only negative comment is chapter summaries, so you do need a book. Speeches are on whatever you want to talk about, and really you do not have to put that much effort into it. Quizzes and tests she reviews exact questions from the class beforehand. I would recommend her if you want an easy class.
She's very into what she's talking about, so if you want to just take speech because you have to, i dont recommend this class. Yeah, she's nice and all but the work associated to get a good grade isn't worth it. There are other speech professors that require less.
The assignments were easy, but I felt she assigned too much work. You get a week to complete everything, but the weeks you have speeches, she made us do a speech, chapter summary, a test, and then answer questions on the forums. She takes forever to return grades, and I felt some of her grading was harsh.
A very respectful and a great pprofessor.
She is a very interesting professor who engages with her class. You will do at least one one page chapter summary each week (about twice we did three summaries in one week) and a chapter quiz each week. The speeches are not all that hard. She is helpful to students and she creates a good classroom environment.
I took into to speech online with her. SO MUCH homework was required. Summary for each chapter, plus two weekly discussions by a certain date and five speeches along with rough drafts. She doesn't give you the rough draft back in time to prepare for the final speech. Also she NEVER emails back. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS ONLINE!!
dr.manzueta clearly loves what she does, but is annoyingly hard. you take constant online quizzes and chapter summaries EVERY WEEK. you work really hard just for a speech class. DO NOT TAKE.
Down to earth teacher, she will make you feel comfortable in the class.At first you might get the wrong impression of her , but naw she cool. Fair grade. 4 speeches. Overall good. Learn a lot . Good teacher. Helps a lot.
She was a very interesting teacher and always helped me when I needed it. She also liked to keep the class a bit interesting to make sure everyone was paying attention. Yes, the homework was a little much, but this is college. If you have a bit of speech anxiety (like I did) then you should take this class.
Overall easy class. Just a lot of work. Weekly quizzes/tests, forum posts and replies, chapter summaries, and the week of speeches - all of that plus your speech outline and video and script. It was a lot of work for such an easy class. I probably would have gotten an A had I put more effort in completing work. Professor however is really nice!
Very enjoyable classes, but a lot of busy work. Grades are given months late, or not at all, follow through on anything is very poor. She is going to make sure everyone who tries at all passes though.
Dr. Manzueta is a very engaging professor and is considerate of her students. I learned a lot even though I didn't want to take this class.
A lot of assignments but she removes quite a few at the end to boost your grade and they are not hard if you read the chapters. Personable if you put in the effort and understanding of circumstances. Talks a lot about personal life and tends to get off topic but overall good teacher.
Manzueta is super cool, but got a little too comfortable with the class making jokes toward the end. As long as you do ALL of the work you'll be good but it is pretty heavy and really fast paced. The due dates are close together but everything is decently simple.
She is an excellent professor and I really enjoyed her class. She cares for all of her students.
I greatly enjoyed this class and feel like I have a much better knowledge of Public Speaking.
Funny, charismatic and so very kind. My favorite professor thus far :)
Dr. Manzueta did an excellent job throughout the semester in making sure we knew what we needed to do and when we needed to do it by. She really puts effort into the students in class. Good professor.
Very helpful and understanding if you are struggling. Give summaries and quizzes every week due online every Sunday. Not too much time given to be prepared for speeches. All in all, great professor but a lot of work.
This was a great class, Professor Manzueta is extremely professional and kind to her students. But, when it came to the grades she was extremely unreliable. If you don't worry about grades until the end, please take this class. Take this class anyway, she is a great teacher and a great orator.
Excellent professor, really helpful, honest and interested!
A great teacher and definitely a class worth taking if interested in developing yourself as a person. Although the workload can seem a bit extraneous, it's still worth it.
Dr. Manzueta really cares for her students. She was always professional. Made me think twice about how I present myself.
She's a great teacher and she cares a lot about the students. Though she gives a lot of workload throughout the course. If you have an easy laidback schedule definitely take her. But if you have an arduous and hard schedule then the workload will be a problem. Overall she's a great teacher.
I had a lot of fun in this class. It helped me to build my confidence and improve my speaking ability even though I have a speech impediment. Thank you dr. Manzueta.
The professor is great, clear, enthusiastic, charismatic, helpful. Although the workload is heavy, it is worth to do this class with her.
Dr. Manzueta is great!This was the only class I wasn't looking forward to and now I think it's great! She is kind and funny HOWEVER you must earn your grade. She gives you the grade you deserve so while being a nice professor don't assume that you can do the bare minimum because you will fail. She is very professional-give respect, get respected :)
Doctor Manzueta is a great speech professor, she really knows public speaking inside & out. I only recommend this course if you have a light course load. The work load is HEAVY. She's very understanding, she knows that life happens. Her lectures are clear & easy to understand if you pay attention. She will help you if you need it.
Dr. Manzueta was an excellent teacher! She is very funny, and gives great lectures. There's not much work involved besides preparing speeches and some book work. But classes were fun and I always looked forward to seeing her. She is firm but fair. Be aware that how you dress, posture and eye contact etc. are part of your grade for every speech.
She is such a great teacher! I was very shy in her class, and she helped to bring me out of my comfort zone :D Plus she cares about her students.
The teacher was very inspirational and gave respect to the students and in turn received such respect.
Great class! Great tacher! recommend everyone to take her. Really cares for her students
really fun teacher and great to have her class her does a lot to help
Lots of homework, but great professor overall.
Dr. Manzueta always made the class enjoyable. She mostly kept the class on topic unless certain students decided to get on tangents but , honestly one of the best prof. the school has to offer !!!
I learned a lot of things that helped me in school and the real world. Thank you.
She was very easy to get along with. Unlike other professor's she's unbiased and doesn't pick favorites and treat them different.
Dr. Manzueta knows public speaking inside and out. Definitely an amazing teacher, and I do reccomend her. However, the course work is a bit heavy, so I only suggest you take her if this is the only course you take, or your other classes are a bit light. She's helpful, her lectures are easy to understand and she's very professional.
She is a great teacher. She does give a lot of work.
Dr Manzueta is super into her job. Speech is her life! She's hilarious and she's there for her students if they need help. She drops low grades to ensure her student pass her class. The work load is heavy but if you don't procrastinate then you'll do fine.
This class has helped me become a stronger speaker and I now have the proper abilities to give a good speech.
Great Professor, everything she gives is pretty much graded. She's fair and clear to what's expected. She has a great personality and is honest.
Dr. Manzueta is clear when she is talking. She did tend to open quizzes late a lot. The "heavy workload" other students mentioned is mainly having to read the book chapters and write summaries on them. Sometimes she tends to tangent off for a few minutes about her young daughter or dog, and once talked for over 40 minutes on Ferguson.
Dr. Manzueta is a great professor and is very passionate about the subject.
Dr. Manzueta is a very enthusiastic professor. She knows how to get her point across to the audience and she also knows how to keep the audience entertained while she is speaking. The workload is a little bit too much but at the end it is of benefit to do all the work.
I felt like I learned a lot. I used to get very anxious about speeches but after this class I can give any speech. She makes you feel very comfortable so do not worry.
I enjoyed this semester. Having Dr. Camisha as a professor has really helped me overcome my communication apprehension.
Dr. Manzuetta is a charismatic professor. She is very enthusiastic about teaching communication skills and has a nice sense of humor. She is very concise with her feedback, and truly makes the class easy to succeed in. Follow directions and you're good to go. Take some initiative to stay on schedule, as the class may start to run behind.

Dr. Manzueta is very helpful. I was nervous to take the class because I'm not BIG with speaking in front of ppl. If you do the assignments, quizzes, AND COME TO CLASS, YOU WILL DO GREAT! She will help you will confidence with YOUR SPEECHES. She not only helps you wiTH the work in class but she talks about life achievements that you want to have!
Lots of bookwork.
Doesn't email back, but a vary laid back class.
I really enjoyed this class but be prepared to read the chapters and practice your speeches! She is tough but fair, exactly what a college professor should be.
Very good course to take.
This was my favorite class and favorite professor!! This was the only class I actually enjoyed and looked forward to. I wish Dr. Manzueta taught all subjects (; This was an awesome class and experience!
I would take this class over again!!! There is a lot of work-be prepared. However if you do what she asks it does pay off! She is so much fun and is pretty crazy. I definitely did not expect to have a sort of "friend" for a professor :) She is there for every student and is so inspiring. Love you Manzueta!
Great teacher. Does give a bit of a work load but nothing that can't be done with proper time management. I would take again and is a great teacher to take for speech.
Lets just say I can speak in front of people with out feeling like Im going to die, wonderful professor.
I enjoyed going to class and actually wanted to go to class, even though I was not initially excited to take a speech class.
Knows what she's talking about.
She's hilarious, gives great lectures, and is quite helpful. She explains the chapter so well that you honestly don't even need to read the book. If you're not a good public speaker take it with her. She makes the classroom warm and inviting which takes off some of the edge of speaking in front of the class. Great teacher!
never emails you back when you need help with something. she'll email you back two weeks after you emailed her. MAKE SURE THE SPEECH IS COMPRESSED OR SHE WONT GRADE IT. she isn't a big help when it comes to assignments and questions.
She is a wonderful teacher, and pays a lot attention to her students. Very respectful, and she is easy to understand. The best teacher that I have had at this campus so far!!
Shes really easy to get off topic, but shes funny.
She's sweet, funny, helpful, and passionate. She wants you to pass and is always there to help you improve your public speaking abilities as well as get over your nerves. Definitely would recommend taking her class especially if public speaking isn't your strong point.
Dr. Manzueta is a phenomenal teacher. I highly recommend.
Dr. Manzueta is a fantastic teacher. She is very passionate about what she does. Lots of work but she is very helpful.
Dr. Manzueta is an amazing teacher! She's a little more on the strict side, but she's very fair about grading your work. Her lectures are great to listen to, and very helpful in homework assignments and testsquizzes. Listen to her, do the work, and you'll be sure to pass this class!
She was very nice and helpful, one online quiz and summary a week but if you read the book youll be fine. the speeches are easy just put some effort into them and youll pass easy.
It's a very interactive class, the teacher is fun and bubbly, and always do your outlines and tests!
Dr. Manzueta has a great deal of experience, and an amazing personality. Her class was by far my favorite, and everyone in the class was so supportive of each other. You will NOT fail this class. I've never had public speaking experience before and struggled with some anxiety, now thanks to Dr. Manzueta, I have the knowledge and confidence I need.
Professor Manzueta was such a wonderful teacher, she has helped me overcome my anxiety with speaking.
very straight forward, humble, and out going ,if i had the opportunity to take speech over i would take with dr. manzueta again,amazing.
This class was overall easy, she gives a quiz every week and a summary which isn't hard, but is time consuming since she wants it in APA format. My biggest issue with her was she never replies or grades in time. She asks for so much required info in a speech but doesn't like you running over your time limit. Very tough to satisfy her.
Dr. Manzueta is a firm no-nonsense woman & she's amazing! I'm a pretty shy person, so I was really nervous,but she made it (although still nerve-wrecking) manageable & I feel ready for public speaking in the future. Practice A LOT & be ready to participate! She wants to be proud of her scholars,but more-so, she wants YOU to be proud of what you do!
The quizs are literally easy but you have to write so many summaires that requires reading, that she seem to not read. she is a slow grades. the assignment are due every sunday in it takes her 3 to 4 weeks to grade them online. you have to do video prensentaions with 5 people in the film this is the worst in so many issues when uploading.
I really enjoyed the course. However, I didn't feel like she was really there to help you out. It was a hassle to turn certain documents in and sometimes I didn't receive a response to any question I asked. When talked to about the issue I was dismissed. Course was easy, teacher was difficult.
The class was easy. Took her online. I think she gave a lot of busy work though. A one page summary for all chapters in the book, quizzes on each, outlines for each speeches, total of 4 speeches throughout the semester. She took a while to grade. Outlines were graded within 24-72 hrs of completion though.
Speech outlines were due 1 Sunday, and the Speeches were due following. She didn't grade the outline till halfway through the week, giving you 1 - 2 days to get 5 people together to watch. If you submit speech before the outline is graded, she will make a list of things not to do knowing you already submitted it. She is slow at answering questions.
I took her online speech class and had the most mediocre online experience ever. Lots of (easy) busy work, and quizzes on every chapter in the book. It's easy to fall behind. Outlines were graded quickly, while chapter summaries took almost the whole semester for her to grade. Didn't always respond to emails. Incredibly average. Easy A.
Every week multiple chapter summaries are due. For summary, there is a ch. quiz. 4 speeches are assigned. The week before the speech is due an outline must be completed. The week of the speech the manuscript must be completed. You never really know what your grade is cuz she takes all semester to grade, no joke. Her communication is terrible also.
great prof.
Gives LOADS of schoolwork. Have to do a chapter summary on every chapter, every week. Quiz every week. She's nice, but assigns way too much for a speech class.
Excellent professor who helps accommodate you and gives support and feedback.
Amazing Teacher! She is very fair and expects you to do the work. If you have a issue let her know she is super helpful. She is very fair!
this class was amazing. the professor explains everything until we get the message.
this teacher was very likable
Professor makes the lesson fun and is easy going. Even though participation doesn't seem mandatory, professor will call on you to answer simple questions.
I looooove the class with her Amazing Dr , you will asked to write a summaries and you will hate doing that but believe me that all going to be for you because you will understand the class how its going and enhance your speech ability .
Amazing professor!!! You might experience this by taking face-to-face classes. I learnt so much. Total respect!!
I took Prof. Manzueta's speech class online and had a mediocre experience. I get anxiety when thinking about public speaking which is why I chose to take it online. You still need to record your speeches in front of 5 people (there are 4 speeches total). There's lots of chapter summaries and quizzes and she takes forever to grade everything.
Dr. Manzueta, if you have any concerns send her an email. Recordings of speeches are a must. Read chapters plan on writing summaries, quiz on every chapter. This course has taught me a lot about myself and public speaking. It is a good course to take. Plan on working hard each week to get assignments completed, but its worth the class! Good luck
Was not clear with what was expected and took points off for things that were never listed in the rubric or assignment description. I had a really difficult time with the teacher. The course work is easy, but definitely keeps you busy. Terrible at communicating and takes forever to grade work. Gives feedback that is unhelpful and useless.
First off, this professor assigns excessive amounts of work so if you have other classes, good luck. A lot of the work seemed like busy work to me. She also takes FOREVER to grade assignments. If you do all of the assigned work, you can receive a fairly easy A. The professor is definitely nice and knows her stuff, but I am glad this class is OVER
Camesha was a great professor this Summer. It's an online class so there is a lot of work you have to do which includes chapter summaries, discussions and quizzes. She provides you with rubrics and outlines for the speeches. She has clear intentions and cares about her students. Responds quickly to emails. Takes forever to grade stuff though!
I'm taking intro to speech online. Prof. Manuzeta seems very nice and knowledgable but I don't recommend taking the class with her. She takes FOREVER to grade things. I've also had to wait a while several times to get a response to an email I sent which is pretty frustrating. Sometimes I have to email her twice to get a reply.
Professor Manzueta is a very respected and focused teacher. However, she is the type of teacher who is serious when it comes to be serious. On the other hand, when there is a space to have fun, she is the funniest and most dynamic teacher. She uses lots of examples to help students understand. Best teacher for speech. I would surely take her again.
Amazing teacher, flexible about due-dates, very interactive lectures. Class has many presentations. She isn't very responsive on Canvas (I think she has online classes that take up a lot of her time), but is very helpful if you choose to talk to her in person.
Get ready to do LOTS of homework!! APA style summaries for all chapters and lots of quizzes. 4 speeches due. She does not post assignments until late in the week even as late as Wednesday and assignments are due Sundays. She only grades the speech outlines everything else is left ungraded until the end of the semester. Communication through email.
Took intro to oral online, easy class. There are 1 page summaries for each chapter along with a short quiz. Just as long as you read the chapters and do your presentation within the time recommended, you'll be great. Normal amount of work and quick replies if you had any questions.
I took this course online. Great Professor that enjoys her work. Be prepared to work as nothing comes free. However, if you put in the time, the class is not impossible. There are 4 speeches to complete, chapter summaries each week, discussion forum, and quizzes each week. You must put in the time if you are looking to pass.
She doesn't respond to messages. She barely grades things. She gave me feedback on a speech outline on Friday when the speech was due on Monday. I had already done the speech at that point. Some of her tests have the wrong answers marked right but at this point I've sent her so many messages that I've given up and just accepted it.
Doesn't grade anything in any kind of beneficial time frame, quizzes are terrible because while it may say chapter 15 it's really on chapter 17. The class itself is easy, but she expects an awful amount of work that she herself doesn't seem to want to put in. Requires chapter summaries for no apparent reason other then "they're beneficial for you."
GREAT PROFESSOR! DO YOUR WORK AND YOU WILL PASS CLASS! :)
Professor Manzueta is a very good speech teacher. She has a very big and outgoing personality. She is really bad at keeping up with grades and responding to emails. She is very funny and outgoing and will always make you laugh during class discussions. Gives good feedback on submitted work. Taught me a lot. I would recommend taking her for speech.
I would take another professor. She makes you do chapter summaries (up to 5 max per week). It's all useless work. Quizzes and tests are easy af. Just search up the answers. You have to make 4 videos of speeches, which is a hassle. She also makes you do class discussions, which are extremely bothersome. If you're willing to do the work, take it.
Enjoyed learning about speeches. Great feedback with each speech. Ours was the HONORS Class. Every student earned an A. We all learned so much and had fun learning.
This lady will give you either a 100 or a 0 on something if you don't do one thing correctly. She waits until the last week to grade anything yet states in her syllabus that you cannot submit a speech until your outline is approved. How am I supposed to wait to submit a speech when its not graded until months after it was already due???
