Ms. Dangerfield is an excellent speech instructor. She is such a fun down to earth person. She is not afraid to let you see her for her.
Take her class she is the best, you learn and have a good time.
great professor. I really enjoyed her class. before taking her I was very hesitate about speech class. She made it very fun and easy to learn. Very outgoing teacher.
Excellent professor. You'll learn and it'll be fun.
Great teacher, can be moody. Has crazy roller coaster emotions. One day she'll love you and then she'll hate you the next day.
Can be moody, but is an easy grader. She tries to make it fun and let's us be ourselves. Overall I really liked her.
Wonderful teacher. Very knowledgable, actually makes class very enjoyable, even for the people that dread speech!
GREAT TEACHER, VERY KNOWLEDGABLE AND FAIR. REALLY HELPS YOUR PUBLIC SPEAKING ABILITIES. SHE IS REALLY COOL ALSO!
EXCELLENT teacher!!!Take this class, she really makes it worth your while and you learn alot.
This was the 1st teacher that really knew how to connect with her students. I wish there were more like her.
Made me actually want to go to class!
The best, don't miss it. but do remember that you got to be serious, so as not to ail.
A very good public speaker. Like others said, can be moody at times, but overall a pleasure to be around.
Amazing teacher. She taught me a lot about speaking and speech development. Thank you Mrs. Dangerfield. I would recommend this class to anyone. Hell, I would take it again if I could.
Fun and easy class. She jokes with the class a lot and it is more fun if you joke back. Be willing to make fun of yourself. She can be moody and take it out on the wrong people but overall very sweet disposition. She is a little biased cause some people got grades that they definitely did not deserve but whatever! You like never even open the book.
Easy A. Good teacher. Fun class.
Mrs. Dangerfield-Thompson is a very good instructor. Before taking this class, I was really dreading it, but I actually enjoyed most of it. I learned not to be so nervous getting up in front of people and talking. Although I still don't like it.
Very Nice, She tends to ramble and waste a lot of class time, but she does make you do your speeches and if you follow instructions and do somewhat of a good job you will get a good grade.
LOVE Mrs. Dangerfield! The class was held at a good pace. At the end of ten weeks we were a fun, dysfunctional family. I recommend her to everyone needing a speech class.
Super easy A... I highly recommend her! She has a very chipper personality. The only thing I regret is buying the book because we never used it.
Great teacher! Helps you learn and still real down to earth. Way to go Ms. Dangerfield!!
She is great!, take this class even if it's not in your major. You will learn so much about public speaking. She is so vivacious during every class. Wow, she has a limitless amount of encouragement for you!. I love her class. Helpful is putting it mildly, she will do everything possible to help you out.
She is the best!!
This is the best class I have ever taken. She'S mavelous. I strongly recommend her to everyone who needs a speech class. You'll become a good teacher at the end of the quater
EASY A, IF YOU SHOW UP EVERY DAY AND LISTEN.
GREAT TEACHER AND CLASS ATTENDANCE IS A MUST.
Wonderul teacher. Highly entertaining. Very funny and helpful!
She is a very good professor who critques every speech to make student's better. Also she is Hot!!
She is an outstanding teacher with a huge and funny personality. She is the best teacher hands down.
Awesome teacher!! made public speaking a great class!
A big NO!!!!! she has to leave this college and let the real teachers teach.
She knows here stuff, but she has a hard time getting her message across in a way that is understandable.
she gives you a hard time not just because of class because of whatever she likes, she is so selfish to give you help she thinks you already should know what is public speaking.
Mrs. Dangerfield rocks! She is full of positive energy has an exuberant personality and cares so much about the material she is presenting to the class for learning purposes and beyond. Her exuberant personality will definitely encourage you to do well in her class. If U take her for Public Speaking, this is a class you will always enjoy going to.

Mrs. Dangerfield is a fantastic educator! She is clear and precise with her teaching and genuinely wants each person present to do well. Her expectations are obtainable and you will do well if you following the Syllabus and go to class and participate. If you take her for Public Speaking, this is a class you will always enjoy going to.

Mrs. Dangerfield was the greatest. Don't take a Speech class from anyone else. If her class is full, get an override or wait for the next semester. Take her class and you will agree that she is the only option for this course. I wish she taught other classes. Great, great, great professor. I can't say enough wonderful things about her.
She is the greatest teacher I have ever had. Too AWESOME!!! She loves what she teaches and I appreciate that. A TRUE inspiration! What a blessing!!!
FANTASTIC PROFESSOR!! Very personable, very helpful!
best public speaking teacher ever! makes you feel comfortable! i really saw an improvement in my classmates because of her! awsome teacher, very helpful. just dont miss your speech day and you will do great!
Best Teacher ever. Fun and alive, makes it fun! Stays after to help with any questions. You just have to make an effort. Low book use. She provides you with everything you need. They need to let her teach more classes. Best prof I ever had!! Got an A. Her attitude and class atmosphere makes it easier to speak in front of other people.TAKE THE CLASS

Great professor!! Makes you want to come to class and learn... crazy right? Chatt tech needs to let her teach more classes because I would take them! Her personality and looks are a plus also!
Can I just say Ms. Dangerfield is an awesome teacher. She gives you real advice, not just theory, to improve. You get an outline framework that makes speech writing simple. If you just listen, you can tell what you need to do (open with your attention getter first, for example). Her class is my favorite to attend.
She is a great teacher! I had her for speech & he realy makes you feel comfortable when having to present infront of a crowd! She is clear on every assignment & how she grades. She is one of those rare teachers that prepare her students for those "real life" opportunities.
Great Teacher! Her high energy keeps you interested and she presents the material in a way that builds upon what you already know. Textbook was not necessary but was extremely helpful when studying for tests and preparing speeches. 5 Star!!!
She is a professional with passion and wants students success.
Miss. Dangerfield grabs your attention and makes learning, interesting and exciting! This is the class you WANT to come to!
Ms Dangerfield is simply the best! She knows her stuff and this is a class you will love coming to!! She is funny and very helpful. Tardiness is a no no!! One thing is that there was more things on the tests & quiz then what was taught but she did give a study guide and everything is in the book! LOVED HER!!
The best teacher ever. Really helpful in speech preparation, and making sure you understand all material before leaving class. TAKE THIS CLASS!!! You wont regret it.
Did not like her class at all.
Awesome professor! I took her online class and found this teacher to be super helpful and friendly. I almost dropped the class during add/drop but I hung in there and it payed off. As long as you do your work you will make good grades.
She makes the class very fun and keeps everyone laughing. The class is never stressful or all serious. Helps us stay into the topic.
She is not very clear with her material. Make sure you read all the chapters in the book as the final exam comes strictly from the book.
I went into this class absolutely DREADING it, but it turned out to be a positive experience. Ms. Dangerfield is extremely encouraging & supportive, but not shy about constructive feedback. She doesn't tolerate tardiness/disruptions (which is a bonus for those of us who are ACTUALLY there to learn). The class had a great dynamic! Highly recommend!
She makes class interesting enough but her expectations are too high. There has to be some fairness in the treatment of the students. She grades very hard even if the students did their best.
She was always helpful and approachable. Although I still dread speaking in front of people, Ms. Dangerfield showed me that it is not impossible to get through. I find her grading extremely fair, she has her initial feedback, but then goes back to review the recorded speech. She provides constructive feedback and compliments where needed.
She makes class very interesting! Although her lectures can be long they still keep your attention and are helpful. She gives you respect and goes over things you don't understand. Wouldn't miss a day of class ever every day is mandatory. She gives you great feedback on your speeches and makes you feel comfortable. All around great teacher!!
She helped increase my speaking presents.
She is a hard teacher, does not cover a lot of the class topics. She will talk and give minor notes but never will actually teach the students how to improve a speech. Speech is a very visual skill and by just reading students won't do better. She will give feedback but never actually shows a better way to do a speech. Very tough grader.
Professor Dangerfield is one of my best professors at Chattahoochee Tech. She truly loves what she does and want to see students do well. I would definitely take her again.
You could not find a better educator! She really wants you to learn and grow. Just do the homework and discussions and you will be fine.
The most inspirational professor I have ever had! She likes to get you connected to what is current in our society to the material. Take her if you can!
Overall is a hard class. Professor is unhelpful and hard to understand. She is funny sometimes but she grades speeches very harshly. She makes you work really hard for your grade specially if you want an A. Book is necessary but most grades come from speeches.
Couldn't ask for an easier class or teacher. If this class is hard then college isn't for you.
It's a very hard class. Proffesor is very tough. Shyness is not a good thing for this class. Ms. Dangerfield is approachable but not clear in her lectures. Is very hard for students to know what she expects. She needs to provide clear instructions and maybe even provide examples on how a speech can be improved. Books helps but more is needed.
I took this class for credit. I thought this would be a great learning experience. I could't have been more wrong. I'm sorry I ignored the negative reviews. Very harsh professor, she spects too much from students. She talks a lot but teaches very little. If you ask questions she will make you feel very stupid. Grading criteria not clear at all.
She's very approachable (she has her moments). Effort is key here and she's fully aware that Public Speaking is tough for everyone but she will teach you the methods better suited for you. I enjoyed her and the class. I would recommend her.
Dangerfield is often unclear about what she expects from speeches. Talks a lot but says very little. Expects too much from students yet she's never clear what her expectations are. Talks a lot about herself but she never gives good tips on how to make a good speech. Pick another proffessor, not her. I feel worse about public speaking after this.
She's one of the best professor at Chattahoochee Tech. She's a mentor and she's pretty, too.
The class started a little rough but by the end of it I actually loved this class. I took it online she required us to give one speech on campus which was really scary for me but she and the class made it a breeze! I would definitely take her again and would recommend this class. Do the work and pay close attention you will pass.
I recommend Ms. Dangerfield. She cares and wants you to learn. I fear public speaking, so this was a challenging class. My speaking skills improved! She gave me constructive, real-world, and honest feedback on my speeches. But I appreciate it because don't want to go in front of a large crowd of people and make an utter fool of myself.
I had this teacher in Spring of 2016. I was a good class. She is very approachable and gives you good feedback on your speeches.
I had her for Public Speaking and Human Communications. She is very inspirational and a good teacher. Make sure you do the work, attend class, and put forth the effort.
Most of class consists of anecdotes about whatever subject she wants to yammer on about that week. Very little was learned in this class, aside from now knowing that Prof. Dangerfield is a terrible professor. Textbook required and checked for, but never used. Irritating responses to questions. Poor coverage of speech topics and preparedness.
She is a wonderful teacher. A very kind and articulate person. Great for public speaking. I recommend her.
Do not take her. I have no problem with speaking in front of people at all. Im not shy and I do not get nervous around a group of people, after taking this class it has been a set back for me. She a mean and she does not know how to teach.
I loved this teacher! Her classes consist of topic related conversations where everyone can participate and understand the topics. She is very welcoming to comments and questions and the textbook was useful if you were to study for the tests. Notes being written down during the class period can also be very useful.
NOPE. I took her hybrid class and I hated it. Her lectures are interesting but thats it. If you don't like group projects, teachers that don't follow their schedules, teachers that have an attitude, and don't put grades up until the end please save yourself the worry and take public speaking. She is a character, nice, but never taking her again.
Please save yourself some time. Most students did not even use the book, is very unorganized and can be rude if you are confused and are seeking too much help.
Don't really need the book for her class. I took her in the summer, the class is good if you need some credit, but overall, she is talkative and doesn't really listen and grades based on her perception of you.
Mrs. Dangerfield is strait forward with her class. To pass her class: attend, participate and have a few brain cells. Don't last minute your speeches unless your a professional bser because your speech and grade will definitely reflect that.
I really enjoyed it. Even if you are not required to take this class, by all means do so. And take it with Ms. Dangerfield. She is a great person and truly loves what she does.
You can do well in her class if you just do the work, attend class. I recommend her. She is a nice person.
She is a God-send: highly intelligent, motivating, and inspirational. I could not ask for a better instructor.
This instructor is incredible and engaging! Her teaching style is dynamic, clear, and motivational! Be prepared to think outside of the box and expand your minds in this class! Register for this instructor if you need a bright spot in your course schedule and want a class to look forward to. Do your best and this instructor will make you better!
Professor it's a very tough grader. Tests are easy if you read the book but in your speeches you will get points off for "blinking too much" or any other minor expression. Her AC is really loud so you need to speak really loud or you will get points off for that too. She doesn't really teach just talks about herself. Find a better professor.
I enjoyed this class. She is very caring, professional, and inspirational. I wish she taught other class. Highly recommend her.
I love love love, Mrs. Dangerfield. She takes a while to get your discussion board grades in. There are two projects: one a group and one individual. Easy A if you take notes and read the definitions in the book. She is super caring and funny and a remarkable teacher. You get real-life examples to the terms she is teaching which is very helpful.
No extra credit/test makeups/sympathy for students. Doesnt reply to emails/very hard to reach. No grades entered until last week of class giving no time for discussion about grades. VERY few grades, even a small discussion can impact grade by whole points. Honestly take a more interesting class where your hard work is recognized and valued.
I took this class online/offline and it was a very good class. Teacher works with you and has clear instructions. She is very nice, so I learned a lot about public speaking and she help me reduced my fears.
This woman is PASSIONATE about her job and people. Shes interesting and fun, loves interaction and to know youre paying attention and learning. I had a really fun class and always looked forward to going. Im assuming if you take this class youre prepared for group projects and public speaking because theres a good bit but overall good time.
Since the first day I enjoyed going to her classes. Amazing and fun lectures, makes you want to go to her classes. Doesn't assign many homework or tests so every assignment will affect your grade heavily, overall an easy A if you pay attention in classes and do every assignment. Strongly recommend.
Even though I am an international student, she makes everything amazing to me. I understand the lecture very well and I become more confident to stand in front of class to speak. There is no word to describe how much I like her, she is very straightforward and clear with grades. She wants students to succeed and pass class. Highly recommend!!!
Everyone who has a fear of public speaking, take Professor Dangerfield. She will help you understand what you should and shouldn't do during a presentation. Surprisingly, I was excited to go to her class everyday (which isn't normal for me LOL). Midterm and final exam are pretty straightforward. P.S. Take her class on campus if you can.
Although a little unorganized (especially on the discussion board side), I loved Mrs. Dangerfield overall as a professor. Her enthusiasm towards public speaking really shows in her feedback and when you meet her in person. Just make sure to stay on top of the work and don't do things at the last minute. Your grade will suffer if you do.
She talks a lot. Obviously but very enthusiastic. Makes speech fun
Super understanding and gives help when needed. She is open to talk about things before they are due, and will stay after class whenever she can to answer questions or give feedback/help with thought processes. I loved this teacher! She was able to keep me engaged even though the class was online. Expects full hearted work in everything!
Honestly this class is an Easy A just some annoyances to look out for. She criticizes majority of the work that you turn in, expect to have over detailed explanations that still dont answer your question. She throws her having a doctorate in comm around but her comm is sub par. She is nice just nitpicks. And do ALL optional work, shell comment.
For a communications teacher, her ability to relay pertinent info is a joke. The syllabus doesn't have a schedule and she constantly changed dates to "help" us. Never submits grades. Holier than thou. Disrespectful. Don't take online. No idea how you can do a group project with an online course. 0 stars. Ew.
