Carol is a very good professor. If you put the time in you will make an easy A. The class is interesting and Carol will go out of her way to help you. I took this class online and enjoyed it. One on campus function.
One of the most caring, smartest, and helpful teachers you will ever meet. Definitely one of my favorite teachers of all time. Took SPCH 1321 aka "Car Class."
A very good online teacher. Gives a lot of work though.
always with a smile, encouraging, very approachable. she was awesome.
She is very caring. Not always consistent with expectation.
Took her online and she gives alot of work so be prepared to stay constantly busy. However her assignments are easy they are just really time consuming, but she is a really nice teacher and I would recommend taking her for this speech class.
I take her SPCH 1318 Online course. It pretty cool but a lot of work is given typically b/c its a online class. Overall, her assignments are fun and easy and shes SUPER nice. After each e-mail I recieve from her she ends it with "KEEP SMILING!" She's really nice. I would definitely take her again!!
Good teacher but she tends to belittle her students. She makes her kindness seem like a front most of the time. You do learn alot in her class though.
TOOK HER FOR BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL SPEECH. THOUGHT SHE WAS A PRETTY EASY TEACHER... HOWEVER I MADE MISSED AN A BY 1 POINT BECAUSE I MISSED A QUIZ BECAUSE MY SISTER WAS IN ICU AND ENDED UP DYING AND SHE WOULD NOT LET ME MAKE UP THE QUIZ. IT WAS THE ONLY ASSIGNMENT I MISSED. YOU WOULD THINK THAT SHE COULD MAKE AN EXCEPTION FOR THAT. BUT NO.
I took her online course. Although the class has a lot of useful information, there is a lot of writing, I mean A LOT. She communicated well through weekly emails. Her tests are easy if you have done the required reading and taken the practice tests offered online. We read the entire textbook over the semester.
While Carol Hunsberger is a great teacher, I feel like I learned absolutely nothing about Business and Prof. Communications. This entire semester, we have focused on nothing more than her Love Conference idea. This should have been a project for a marketing class, certainly not SPCH 1231 (Business Comm.)
Carol is awesome! She is so down to earth & genuine! Her class ALWAYS puts me in a good mood! I am gonna miss her so much! She is eager to teach and doesnt treat you like a kid. She is stern on no late work but if you have an emergency just talk w/ her & she will work it out. I do NOT believe the girl that says her sister died & carol didnt care.
AMAZINGLY GREAT TEACHER! Took her for Fundementals of speech and communication and was the best teacher i've had so far! Always willing to help! I HIGHLY recommend mrs. Hunsberger. :)
Carol is one of the best and chirpiest professors and will keep you entertained. Follow her policy because she is very stricted about it. It was an easy A and I never had to read the text. Speeches were simple and she is a lenient grader.
I took Interpersonal comm. over the summer with Carol Hunsberger. She was a great teacher. She is very easy to follow. She is strict about the deadlines though. If you do the work you'll do good. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot
Mrs. Hunsberger was an amazing teacher, do the work and come to class and youll do fine. Makes speech as painless as possible, take her if you can...
She makes on line class worth taking.
Carol Hunsberger is amazing teacher!!!! I toook Carol for Speech 1311 and going in I hated standing up in front of people giving speeches but by the end of the semester it was easy to get up there and give a speech. You give two speeches during the semester. You take three test and you have two group projects. You will love her!!!
I was thrown off by Carol at first; she wasn't what I expected. By the end of the semester, I loved this class. She is such a good teacher, and very understanding if you're shy. You don't use the textbook much, but the workbook is a must. And you have to make 2 speeches to pass the class. I would absolutely recommend her.
Awesome teacher. Really funny and down to earth. Understands that 95% of people hate giving speeches, so as long as you follow her directions she grades generously, even if you are stuttering and nervous. Made the class a lot better than I expected, and I had a lot of fun in her class
She is so much fun! You learn alot about reading people!! She is easy and you will get an A if you attend class and do the work. Not much work to do either!
Great Teacher!!!! A+++++..... Carol is the best teacher! She is so helpful and cheerful all the time. Very few assignments. Lets everyone speak their mind durring discussions and doesnt judge ppl. Best teacher I have ever had!!!!
Excellent communicator, as you would expect. Wants you to succeed and will hold the bar high to make you work for it. Do the work, read the book, take the chapter tests and you will get an A. Couldn't be simpler (and you still learn something). (NW Campus)
Carol was an excellent teacher. You can learn a lot from her class if you do the work, participate in class, and complete assignments.
Awesome professor. I highly recommend her.
This teacher is fantastic! Very fun, funny, and knows how to teach a good class. She knows exactly how to make you pay attention and makes it easy to learn. As long as you deliver your major speeches you will pass the class. She even says so herself. She is WONDERFUL! Please take her for your communication class!
great teacher... take her. her class is really easy!!!
She is awesome! Every day i left her class, i felt so great about myself. She loves and cares for her students. VERY eccentric. Do your major speeches and group project and you will get an A =)
Took her online. For a Interpersonal Communications teacher she did not communicate very well. I agree she was not consistent in her expectations. We were forced to study for Midterm during Spring Break! Who does that? According to the others ratings of her, I guess something gets lost in translation when you take her class online and not in person
Very friendly and helpful. Completely understands that not every one likes public speaking and is willing to help you. Gets to know the students very well and helps to make the class feel more personal and one on one. Excellent class and I highly recommend her.
This was honestly the BEST online course I have ever taken. She was really cool and it seemed like I knew her even though I'd never met her. She communicates assignments very well. I never questioned what was expected of me. Only two tests the whole semester (midterm & final). The assignments were interesting and I actually enjoyed doing them!
She was such a good teacher! The activities were actually fun and interesting to do! She ACTUALLY admits when she is at fault, unlike most professors. Also, she gives us hints as to how to compete the work and warns us if the assignment is going to be time consuming! Love her! Would definitely take her again!
she was a really fun teacher she is really funny. she is very helpful and encouraging class was really easy speeches were short and didnt really used the book
Enjoyed being in her class. She is a wonderful teacher. Would take her again.
She is the best teacher ever, keeps it fun, I took her in a different speech class and it did not count for my degree, so when I saw I could take her again for the class that would count I picked her and would pick her again for any other class I would need in speech, I very highly recommend her to everyone!!!!
She is a wonderful teacher....I give her a RED HOT CHILI!!!
Wonderful teacher. Cares about her students. Is VERY clear on her expectations. She cares deeply about each student. Strict but very fair. I recommend her to anyone.
She is AMAZING! I wish I could take her for every class. It's more than just a speech class when she's teaching.
Mrs. Carol is amazing to my life. So energetic! She actually cares about her students well being. My life is better just having met her.
She is amazing and knows how to keep her students entertained! Her lectures are always interesting. She' very understanding and kind. I would recommend taking her class!
Carol is a wonderful teacher, as long as you listen to her and do your work, it's an easy A. Very kind teacher too.
she is a very easy teacher you learn so much more than giving a speech. she is very kind hearted and has been my favorite teacher by far i highly recommend her
Carol is wonderful. She is encouraging and very understanding. Her class is easy- just how up and write down due dates and complete the assignments corresponding to them. Made an A without trying.
Carol was awesome !!! Just show up to class and do what she hands out. She puts the text book online,so you don't have to buy it. She really cares about you. I loved her class. She is the most up beat positive person. I have ever met.
Carol is amazing one of the best professors ever.She is a life changing person I walked away with so much from her class. Carol cares about her students and wants them to succeed.She gives you most of the info you need in her lectures and powerpoint book optional.Test easy if you attend class.We did a group project that was really fun.Take her!
Mrs. Hunsberger is a superb teacher. She is so clear on what she expects of you and is a fair grader. She creates an environment of warmth and positivity. She has set the bar for teachers to a whole new level.
Complete blow-off class; super easy, but it's very clique-ish. I didn't enjoy the class and didn't get anything out of it, other than what NOT to do. One student kind of became the "target" of the group's disdain because he said he didn't like the class; when it came time for evals, she flat-out said she was glad he wasn't there. No thanks!
Easy class if you try, practice your speeches,and do your work. She is all about achieving your dreams and goals. I truly enjoyed her class. I would take her again in a heart beat.
She was very nice and extremely helpful. If you attended class and did the work as assigned then she is the best person to work with, she is also very punctual and actually having you guys be speakers. When i took her class we received a group projecttcc function to plan out and do.
Carol is a gregarious speech prof. This class is a very easy A-you're pretty much taught basic, courteous communication with other humans. Silence your cell, do the homework, show up and participate in class and she'll be your best friend. Attendance is definitely mandatory.
She's amazing. There's always that one teacher who everyone loves, and it's her. She's life-changing. She's the kind of person I would call in the middle of the night if my life were falling apart. I trust her that much. Some tips, though: listen when she talks, show up to class, and put your phone AWAY! If you do, you'll easily get an A++++.
Carol is hands down the best professor I have had thus far. She is inspiring and really cares about creating a friendly environment in the classroom. I was absolutely dreading having to take a speech class, and I really lucked out by taking hers. It ended up being my favorite and I learned so much! I guarantee you will have a positive experience!
Carol was a very awesome teacher & was willing to build a close relationship with her students. During the end of the semester, she reached out to me bc going through a breakup and a tough time. Besides that, the class was easy, blended, fun, & the students had a say in the blended class experience. Would take this class again in a heartbeat!
She really cares about her students and wants you to succeed. I've never seen her in a bad mood. You do need the textbook. There's a lot of interacting in her class with other students which helped me made friends. Her test and quizzes come straight from the powerpoint.
It was the hardest "Easy A" I've ever earned. We were her "guinea pig semester" and had HUGE projects all the time that we'd fail the class without. Also, for some reason, she won't ever excuse absences. A friend of mine had to go to the ER for his spine, and she said it wasn't a good enough reason to miss class. She's nice, but very harsh.
Really great teacher. Fun and educational. Wanna hear of stories? Take this class. She loves to tell stories of love and romance :)
I was so dreading speech. So I took it in a minimester. She was the best teacher. I have recommended her to family and friends. There is a large project at the end and it was fun to do. She knows her stuff so pay attention. I had no idea about rate my professor before I took her, I use it now due to her. She is great. :)
She will brighten your day with every class. Anyone and everyone would benefit from having a semester with her.
I would take this class over an over if possible. She's like a mom she helps and gives advice she's funny sweet and down to earth. She helps you feel comfortable when doing speeches and is just an among person over all. Her class is super interesting. And easy. You will not have any problems with her! Highly recommended
Carol is my favorite professor I have ever had. She is one of the most uplifting and positive people you will ever meet. She does everything possible to make sure you are prepared and comfortable. Long story short, Carol is the best. Don't miss out on a chance to take her class.
She will brighten your day !She's the instructor w/ the jolly music playing at 8am . I love all of my classmates because she makes you interact with everyone, which makes you all so comfortable with one another. She loves teaching and it shows! Speeches are mostly in groups. Don't need the text book. Fairly easy, but must attend class !
Best speech teacher I've ever had! Worked hard for that A!:)
oh my god! carol has become like my second mom! she funny, sweet, caring, but a professor all at once!! she makes sure you understand and makes you interact with each other which make sit easier. you don't really use the book but its helpful to have. theres only 1 big group project but thats toward the end. I'm taking her interpersonal class next!!
This was a great class.
She is an Ecstatic and Energetic Professor! She is a fun person to learn from and gives people energy when you walk into class. She cares for her students and she does not like being called Mrs. Hunsberger she prefers to be called Carol. If you are in her class she will tell you on the first day!
You honestly gain so much more out of her class than just being able to stand up and give a speech. Carol truly imparts communication skills you can apply to all aspects of life, whether personal or professional. If you put in genuine effort, you'll make an A while enjoying it and even learning more about yourself while making new friends in class.
she is one of the best teachers ever! i took her class for s different speech just because. you will absolutely love her!!
Carol is an absolutely amazing teacher she will make you feel instantly comfortable. Very easy grading, you want to attend her class. Her lectures are very entertaining. She really cares about you as a student.
Get ready to be escorted out of your comfort zone and to learn a lot about yourself and human communication. She's not just a teacher, she's an inspirational speaker who really cares about her students and their success. Take this class as an adventure.
Carol is the sweetest professor I have ever met! She cares about you as a person and wants to help you with presenting to other people. She is super positive and it is great because she will help turn your day around.
I had looked up this professor on Rate My Professor before... A lot of people seemed to like her. Let me tell you--SHE IS THE BEST! The class was like a family. By the end of the semester, we all knew each other's names. Carol made learning fun, and made giving speeches a great experience. Definitely take this class!
Carol was funny and caring. She encourages group participation and was very knowledgeable and informative. She is passionate about her work and her students. She teaches life lessons for those just starting on their educational journey. There are group projects that requires you to work together. You know just where she stands and is fair with all.
Dreaded taking speech so I took it for a wintermester. Carol is very inspirational. This class was more than just learning about how to give a great speech. She is very caring and if you are nervous about speaking in front of large groups TAKE THIS CLASS! Very clear about what she expects from you. Would take this class again in a heartbeat!
I took a 2-week speech class, expecting it to be very difficult and full of book work. Yes, there was a lot of work (not really;) as long as you get your work done, turn it in on time and participate in class, you will receive an A. Carol is my favorite professor by far, I haven't had a professor truly passionate about their job. 12/10
This class has been such a breeze! I HATE talking in front of the class, let alone give a speech. But Carol (who tells you to call her that), has been such a LIFESAVER. She has truly made our class a family, she's so kind, and such an inspiration. You're truly missing out if you don't take her class for Speech, I HIGHLY recommend her.
Participation is going to be your pass/fail. If your not into planning parties bringing food , wasting time , explaining your absences in depth don't take this class
Ms. Carol is an awesome lecturer and public speaker! She will inspire and entertain you with her personal stories and make you a better and much more comfortable public speaker in the process if you are willing. A definite must take for a speech requirement.
Carol is such an amazing person! You only had one Speech to give by yourself, and the other two was with a partner/group. Her lectures are very interesting, and by the end of the semester everyone in the class got super close. The best part was everyone was super supportive when you gave a speech. One thing Carol doesn't like is cellphones!
Carol is inspiring, caring, easy to talk to, and wants to help you succeed in life. Taken in the Summer, passed with high A. Offers extra credit, no use for textbook, and makes it easy for even the most apprehensive public speaker. Her class is similar to taking a communication workshop. I can't stress enough, take her, you'll be so glad you did!
Carol was great at connecting with her students, and her lectures were entertaining and often very funny. She's understanding if you have a fear of public speaking, and focuses more on communication, although there are two required speeches. You're gonna use the things you learn in her class in your personal life, as well as your professional life.
I love this prof. Hands down one of the best teachers I've ever had. Even if you hate speaking in front of people, take this class. She will teach you to be better at being yourself. She gave me love and confidence that I will use for the rest of my life. Amazing woman. She won't hand you the A, but helps you earn it. Take this class.
What a seriously amazing professor, but beyond that, a wonderful human being! Her love for faculty and other students is so evident. I took this class and was very much influenced by her joy. She is extremely inspiring, thoughtful, and invested into her students. It was a class I really looked forward to every week. I HIGHLY suggest you take her!!
What a wonderful person! Loved her speech class. Take her if you can she is amazing!!!
Being that I am a rather shy person. She made the classroom enviorment feel welcoming as soon as you take a step in her room. She brought me out of my comfort zone and I wouldn't change this experience.
Carol has been my favorite professor so far. I was terrified to take speech, but she genuinely cares about her students, she is understanding and makes you feel equal. She makes sure everyone feels comfortable and makes it fun with group work. I left class every morning feeling inspired and amazing because of her.
Carol is not the best teacher I've had in the Campus, she can improve. But get to class because participation matters!
Good teacher
Amazing lectures and very clear on what she wants!
Ms Hunsburger does her best to make you feel comfortable she really makes you come out of your shell. She is very sweet very clear on what she wants and when things are due! Amazing professor she makes you feel very confident in speaking! Just do your work and show up to class and you will be fine.
carol was the best teacher I have had at tcc so far at first I really didn't like speech but she totally changed me and I will be forever in debt to her because of that
I would definitely encourage everyone to take her class!! She was one of the best teachers I ever had. If you do your assignments and take notes youll definitely make an A! Shes always there for you if you ever need her would definitely take her class again if I could just for the fun of it
Mrs. Carol is absolutely AMAZING. Loved and enjoyed her class so much . She does have many assignments, but they are super easy and enjoyable. If you don't take her class you're missing out!!
Carol has been teaching for decades and it really shows in how amazing she is at it. She cares deeply for all of her students and wants everyone to excel. She says you can tell a difference between the students who take her speech class vs. others'.
I am a high school student who also goes to tcc classes and she was really disrespectful toward the high school student so she really is not understanding towards us
Carol is such a wonderful professor and woman. It is mandatory that you come to class. She loves participation. She is so caring and is truly invested in her students future. She is able to connect on a level that makes students want to get an A. I had her as an 8AM and I actually looked forward to class because of her!
Does more talking/teaching about communication theory than "write and present speech", though there are a few of those assignments in the second half of the semester. It is entirely in your best interest to be on time to EVERY class. buy a flash drive, it is mandatory for presentations with a visual aid. Very understanding and passionate!
Very consistent and fair grader. Make sure you turn things in on time, she doesn't accept late work. But assignments are not hard. I did not want to take a speech class, but I ended up loving this class and I know it had everything to do with how amazing this professor is. Take her!
Hands down the best teacher I ever had. She knows how to keep you engaged the entire time and the speeches are not hard and as long as you get up and try she will not fail you. She could be your second mom and has helped me through a lot of things in my life throughout the semester, someone to really look up to my life changed taking this class.
I love her so much!
Carol was by far the best professor I've ever had. First day of class she scared me, I wanted to drop. So glad I didnt. She's super sweet and helpful, she wants what is best for her students and wants to see you succeed. Show up, participate, and dont be on your phone and this is a class you wont have to worry about.
This is women was so amazing and inspirational at TCC Northwest. Wow! She seems love to teaching speech class. There was assignments was really easy, and she doesn't required you to buy a textbook.
Carol is a great teacher. She made it easy for those of us who are introverts to give a speech. Presents the material in a way that is easy to understand and put into effect. Her exuberant personality makes you want to come to class. If you have to take a speech class then definitely take her.
She is AMAZING! She is a passionate teacher & knows what she's teaching you. It became one of my favorite classes of the semester. Her lectures are informative & knows how to keep it fun. Since this is a speech class, you have group assignments. If you do your best in your speeches you are going to get an easy A.
She gives lots of work so be prepared! She does not accept late work at all, but will work with you if something does come up. Over 25 assignments for her course. Keep a Grade A by the final exam and you will be awarded. You'll see what I mean. Also participate with Live sessions you'll learn more and it'll help with your assignments.
Professor Carol is by far one of the best professors I've ever had. She makes her lectures enjoyable and really engages with all her students. Taking her class really helped with my social anxiety (I recommend taking if you struggle with this as well). She is respectful and inspired me everyday; always looked forward to going to her class.
There is a LOT OF assignments but not impossible to complete because they are very easy. She wants you to be successful in her course and she will give you many tools to be successful. I grew so much as a person because of her and I'm really grateful for her class. If you do decide to take her I promise you won't regret it.
She has amazing lectures, fair grader, and accessible out of class. Tips for her class would be: Take pictures of the quiz questions because those questions will be at the midterm and final. Take notes and watch her recordings, they're very helpful. And do not be nervous about speech presentations because she will help you and be understanding.
Dont sleep on it! You need to take her. very inspirational. I looked forward to going to her class every week. My fav of all time. Quiz wkly (open book) along with group meeting wkly. Pay attention to her intro videos and songs of the day.2 speeches informative & persuasive. Offered EC. keep track quiz answers they will be on midterm and final.
