Loved her!! Her accent was super interesting and actually made me want to pay attention. You have to get one book (Enrique's Journey-easy read) and you do have to read some other stuff online but most of it's really interesting and opens your eyes up to the real world. She offers so much help and is always there when you need to know something.

I loved her! You only need to get one book which is easy to read and then read some other stuff online, but most of it is really interesting stuff. She's there when you need to ask any questions. She's almost too helpful. Her accent was awesome and actually made me want to listen. I wish I could take her again for another class I need... lol

Dr. Day helped me become confident as a public speaker. I came in dreading the class but I actually learned a lot. We discussed ethics and persuasion in the media and it was very eye opening. There are 4 speeches total, however her midterm and final exams are short but tend to be a little difficult.

This class can be tough. You'll REALLY need to put effort in it. Willing to learn and you'll improve. To get great score on one speech you need to practice A LOT. Don't just stand there and read your paper. Topic can be unclear but if you email her, she'll respond quite quickly. Can be passive aggressive but she's a human like us. It's normal.

She can seem full of herself at first, but she's super nice and funny too. She grades tough, but put effort into your speeches and do all the assignments and you'll be fine. If you mess up, she always offers really simple extra cred. I learned more in this class than just speaking, and I would totally go back and do it all over again.

Good prof all around, I think she gets a bad rap. The subject of the class is money so if you don't like to learn about how to manage it, steer clear. Has good advice and tips but can be a little harsh sometimes. the longest speech you'll have to do is 7 minutes and the atmosphere is not intimidating. good for a required course.

I think she gets a bad rep. Shes very sweet and down to earth and genuinely cares. She might be a little rough around the edges but really all you have to do is show her you care about her class and are willing to put in the effort. She will call you out for your BS, so dont half ass things cause she's smart will call you out when you deserve it

I do not know why all of her reviews are so nasty. She's a really nice woman, very supportive. She clearly states what your weaknesses are so you can work on them and grades fairly liberally. And the quizzes are open note.

Dr. Day is great. Easy class, even if you aren't the best at public speaking. She never makes students feel bad about themselves, even when they're anxious about speaking. She gives plenty of constructive, helpful feedback. Very little homework, open-note tests, and straight-forward speeches. I've never spent more than 1 hour a week on homework.

Dr. Day gives a lot of grading opportunities as well as extra credit. While she will assign homework it's normally posting on a discussion board and read cliff notes. While there are quizzes they are completely based off the cliff notes so if you read them an A is definitely possible. She's also very considerate of student who have anxiety.

She's very focused on building community in the classroom and it really helps get you more comfortable for speeches. She gives good feedback and usually keeps thing interesting. She can be kind of a hard grader but if you follow the requirements and try your best she'll usually not go too hard on.

She is a nice professor and gives several in-class breaks. She is also very understanding. However, you will have to try in this class to get the grade you want. I also didn't enjoy the topic of this communication class: money. I learned about finances, but it was almost as depressing as it was boring.

Day is fantastic. After nearly 7 hours of class time prior to even coming into class, I would look forward to 2.5 hours of lecture. She's funny, charismatic, and orchestrates the classroom in an intellectually stimulating manner.

Awesome teacher. Tends to be a little lecture heavy. Really forces you to get to know your classmates. Great class for someone who has anxiety for meeting new people as well as public speaking. She really helps you out with helpful pointers for the anxious. Totally would take her again also she has a cat Instagram.

Strict and tough grader but explains why she gives us the grade we deserve. Funny when she gives examples and analogies about a topic. Very inspirational and gives good advice on speaking up.

Professor Day s course was very well designed. Step-by-step tutorials helps one understand the fundamentals of public speaking; and provides an affirming environment within to practice the skills she teaches. My understanding of this valuable tool has been greatly enhanced.

I had her for freshman year and she was so amazing. There aren't that many speeches you have to give, which helps you make each one really good. It's not a stressful class at all.

I wish I could give Prof. Day a 5 but I can't. I loved her as a teacher and a person. She's funny and charismatic. I found the class material to be interesting. However I wouldn't take her class again because of the huge downside. She's an extremely tough grade and is extremely particular. There is few assignments so one bad grade will ruin you.

Y'all are so mean to Day but she really isn't that bad. She tries really hard to help people with anxiety and she's a good person. Sometimes her grading can be iffy but if you literally just ask her about it she'll tell you why she did what she did. Also, if you're in this class, take advantage of extra credit, it's real easy/

Professor Day has made public speaking an easier experience for me! The class isn't too difficult but you do have to make sure you turn in all of your work on time. If you are serious about this class and you want to improve she will give you great feedback. She will even add up your grade to make sure youre on the right track. Great class!

Forced to take this class /the best thing that happed this Q. Shes serious & reasonable. It was 1/2down to business & 1/2games that forced awkwardness out of speech class. I literally made more long lasting friendships in this class than orientation. Shes tough about being late but ultra clear about the hw & almost no weekend hw 1/2 half of Q!

So far I have had Prof. Day for a couple of weeks but I noticed that many ratings say she is a tough grader later in her class. As it stands, she is creative with how she explains Do's and Don'ts when speaking publicly and her explanations are relatable and hilarious. I will update this rating after the quarter if my experience changes.

I loved Dr. Day. She was very straight forward about what she expected from students, especially in such a nerve-racking class like public speaking. You won't do well if you miss class, because everything she teaches applies towards your tests. She gives a variety of different assignment types to make you more comfortable speaking. She's incredible

I loved this class. Super engaging for an 8 am, and always woke me up. She's very clear about her grading, and gives you plenty of opportunities for extra credit. Only issue I ever had with her was knocking one of my smaller grades to a C without giving us a clear outline on peer review just because she disagreed. Overall, she's great though.

Super nice professor. She's very cleare about what's expected of you and provides a rubric for every speech. Super lenient about time limits and gives multiple warnings once you've gone over. A few online in-class quizzes, but they're all open notes. As long as you show up for class and participate you should pass.

I took Professor Day, over the summer 2019 but then I withdrew because of personal reasons, Then when Fall 2019 quarter came I signed back up for her class I love her so much shes a amazing and so funny. She talks about her cats a lot, she has a great heart, but dont try to pull a fast one on her because she is with it. YOU DONT WANT SMOKE....

I was afraid of public speaking until I took Professor Days class! She created such a strong community in the class and was easily my favorite professor of the quarter. Shes comical and caring and gives feedback in no time!

Dr. Day is nice lady who knows her stuff. If you actually TRY, you will do good in that class. The workload isn't that much, but you should practice your speech because it really helps and if you go to her to tell her your problems, she will understand, but she might come off as passive-aggressive, but that's just her personality. Overall, great.

Honestly, I don't know why she has such a low rating. She was really nice, she was understanding of anxiety and stage fright, and her assignments weren't too dificult. I'd say that as long as you keep up with the work, are respectful in class and comunicate if there's an issue, Carolyn Day is an amazing choice. Plus she shows pictures of her cats!

Take her class and you will remember her for life. She is an absolute gem and I wish I could take her class again. She is a fantastic professor, an intelligent and caring person. She grades fair and understandably and appreciates participation and effort, the work she requires is reasonable and will positively affect your career and confidence!

Prof Day is super sweet and I'm so glad I took her for my comm class because she's sweet, understanding, and her expectations are clear and easy to fulfill. Do be careful of due dates because her late work policy is harsh; however, there are no shortage of extra credit opportunities to make up your grade in the event that you do miss a due date.

Professor Day was by far the best Professor Ive had while at SCAD. She really understands what its like to be a student scared of speaking in front of your peers. Shes really fun and offers great help if youre struggling with something.

I'm not sure why she has so many negative reviews. I know we were her favorite class because we were very active in discussion, and sometimes debates, but I don't see that making a huge difference. She was very engaging, and she utilized all of the advice she gave us during her lectures, so it wasn't just a matter of "do as I say, not as I do."

Dr. Day is a very special person. She cares deeply about making sure students are comfortable. Her class will build your self-confidence and give you the tools you need to be a better speaker. Her grading criteria are clear and very forgiving. She will really work with you. Don't hesitate to take her class.

Probably the best professor ive ever had. She is nice when you do your work, and she interacts with the students very well.

Professor Day is so funny and caring. She really motivated her students to do their best without pressuring them. many of my classmates were on the shyer side and she was always accommodating towards them. She's also a passionate cat lover and activist so it does not get any better than that. Take her class!!

Great professor, no idea why she has such a low rating. Great feedback, lot's of extra credit, & easy assignments. She provides all the reading so you don't need to buy any textbooks. If you're scared of public speaking she lets you record speeches, which I never did but appreciated anyways. Only one group project, & tons of freedom on assignments!

Dr. Day is becoming one of my favorite professors. Her dry humor and focus on personal growth and less on tradition views of public speaking form such a good learning experience and community in the class. Course load isn't bad either, and I'm always excited walking into the class. Don't let other reviews fool you, she's great!

Professor Day does not deserve a low rating at all. She is absolutely incredible. She is kind and caring. She has a great sense of humor. She fosters such a comfortable judge-free environment. She grades very nicely. I want to take her class over and over again.

Dr. Day is a great professor, who facilitates a very positive and engaging learning environment. As someone who struggles with public speaking, I always felt that she genuinely cared about my improvement in the course. As long as you try in this class, it is extremely hard to fail and this was definitely my favorite class of the quarter.

She overall was so great, I really don't know why her rating is so low. Yes, the quizzes are super hard but besides that it is so easy to pass her class with flying colors. She is also so nice and so fun and always makes sure you get a break, unlike other professors I have had.

Easy grader and I got As all the time throughout the quarter, my only issue was at the end of the quarter there was a weekend I couldn't do work due to medical reasons when I tried to then use my accommodations she ignored them and said that her syllabus rules went against my accommodations. Easy A for some, others not so much...

I genuinely loved Prof Day, I am taking another one of her classes this coming quarter. Truly as long as you try you will pass. Even though she does not tolerate late work, She gives you so much time to complete speeches and prepare. As long as you communicate ask questions and participate. You will be fine. I had a great class!

She is great. Honestly, as long as you try and submit it on time you should get an A. The only reason I don’t is I forgot to do discussion posts. Our class had a great environment where everyone felt comfortable to present, and it was very fun. I hope I can take her again.

I took Dr. Day my first quarter, and couldn't help that she was an 8am. I know I would have enjoyed her class way more otherwise, but as it were I couldn't keep up and all study material had nothing to do with the quiz questions we were given. Harsh grader- but very sweet and lively. Wish I could've taken her later in the day.

I loved Prof day. She always gives really informative lectures on public speaking. She really helped shape my techniques for public speaking.

I came into Dr. Day's class very nervous expecting it to be a mess because of her RMP score, but it ended up being a great, but very hard class. She grades harshly, but its for the work itself, if your nervous with public speaking it wont affect your grade as long as at least make an attempt

Carolyn is awesome. She is so funny and her class is SO fun. She lets you play games most days and creates a great classroom community. Follow her instructions and participate and you will do well. Her speeches are not expected to be memorized and she is super understanding. She hardly lectures and makes all graded work easy. LOVE HER!

I really enjoyed Dr. Day's class. As long as you follow the rubric and guidelines for speeches, you should get good grades. Quizzes were sometimes challenging. She did a good job at engaging the class, and we did lots of team building games/exercises to get more comfortable with each other to make presenting in class more comfortable.

I LOVE prof Day!! I had her this quarter for Interpersonal Comms 110 and I really enjoyed the class. We learned how to have healthy communication with people in a relationship, at work, and with peers. It was a mix of her lecturing and us having group conversations but she made it entertaining with fun examples of her life or a show. super easy.

Carolyn was a good teacher. Projects (presentations) were fun. The lectures were not repetitive. I would say I furthered my confidence in public speaking and met some great people in the class. The late work penalty is steep and there isn't much wiggle room for late assignments, it was only an issue for one project but definitely hurt my grade.

I came into Professor Day's class really nervous about public speaking but by the end of the quarter felt so much more confident in my public speaking skills. She fosters a supportive and fun learning environment, letting us play icebreakers for the majority of classes. Super sweet woman and a great professor to take if you struggle with anxiety!

This class consisted of two discussion boards, four speeches, a group current events speech, a midterm quiz, a final quiz, and a final reflection paper. The peer evaluation grade is based on attendance and responding to classmates' speeches. Even without prior experience, I felt this class prepared me to succeed in public speaking in the future!

Sometimes I had a hard time reading her tone or tell when she's joking or not. Really understanding about assignments, sometimes unclear about instructions. My entire class got low grades on one of the speeches because she failed to explain an aspect of the grading criteria.

Though her teaching style (and sense of humor) isn't for everyone, I certainly enjoyed her class when I took her this past spring. She can be a nitpicky grader; it's best to practice and prepare for your speeches ahead of time and take her advice. She fostered a wonderful class and community: just be prepared to work hard, and you'll do just fine!

Her class was very enjoyable, and she gave very clear criteria and feedback after each of our speeches. She has been very nice and understanding to students who get nervous, and she helped foster a very safe environment in class. Good professor!

While she was a harsh grader, as long as you applied everything she said a speech needed and her past feedback you'll be great. She gives out great feedback and is excited to help with anything regarding the projects. She creates a safe space which I think is very important for that class.

Dr. Day was one of my favorite professors ever because she was very funny, gave us extra long breaks, and really understood anxiety when it came to public speaking. Not too hard of a grader if you are used to harder grading. She fostered a really fun and comfortable learning environment and I wouldn't have picked anyone else. This class was SO FUN!

One of the best professors I have had. She always made class very fun and inspirational. I hate public speaking but this class helped me brake past those fears.

Rubric was always clear. If you hate public speaking, you'll struggle in this class no matter who you have. Dr. Day was always kind. Class was easy to get a B or higher in, as long as you practiced and tried your best. Ample opportunity given to remediate any bad grades received during the quarter. Overall, great professor!
