I found this teacher to be extremely helpful and open to new ideas/techniques for speaking. She does not force students to adhere to a strict set of guidelines regarding the speeches. The quizzes can be a bit challenging but there is so much extra credit available that a student's performance on the quizzes may not even matter that much with rega

"Ms. G." is an outstanding professor. She is extremely knowledgeable about the topic (she's an actress), gives clear instructions and always provides supportive criticism. Her tests are challenging, but extra credit is available.

She was great, i got d's on all the quizzes, but i did well on the speeches as long as you do them you'll do well, so much extra credit. i got an A in the class.

A very enthusiastic professor on the topic of public speaking. Truly loves what she does, I would only suggest that this class is taken in a 16 wk course, because there is a lot of material to cover in 8 wks, and she covers it all.

i liked and enjoyed this class. she is very easy and nice teacher. she gives chance to make up quizzes and speech. take this class do some work and get A.

Really loves public speaking and it shows in class....really helped me when fine tuning my speeches....take her if you love getting A's

Very good Speech teacher. Just show up to class and you will get a good grade. She gives a lot of extra credit, so if you fail, you are doing something VERY wrong.

Very good teacher. She's a easy grader and if you improve on your speeches you'll get A's.

Fairly easy. The tests weren't the best. Take advantage of the extra credit! it's the only thing the got me an A. Kind of speaks like a kindergarten teacher

If you put in some effort this is an easy A. She is very nice and understanding, which has a calming effect when giving speeches. Very easy grader, many of those that went up and just read their speeches even recieved good grades. Tests can be a little difficult, but she gives review sessions the class before which basically goes over some of the

she's nice, she's hot, easy class, what more could you want

very nice teacher. Easy class just reading. NO cumlative MIDTERM OR FINAL! 3 tests over chapters read from book.. easy as well. No homework. 4 r 5 speeches never exceeding 7 minutes long.. Must show up for class. VERY EASY! Take her!

Good class. Fair and fun and energetic teacher. Powerpoint lectures really helps. She speaks to the class - not "at the class".

Ms. Golemo is very knowlegeable, and patient and kind - huge qualities to have for a speech teacher!I'm still nervous, but not afraid to give speeches. Tests are hard. Won't let you read - have to know speech well to get a a good grade.

Few speeches, but each one weighs in a lot for total grade. Know speech well to get a good grade. Fun class. Ms. Golemo, also an actress, shows she enjoys teaching, makes it less scary to give a speech.Tests are hard.

this teacher is so cute and sweet. just try your best on your speeches and she'll give u a really good grade even if u did horrible. the exams are really easy so just study a little. if u go to class all the time and try your best she will give u an "A" i promise u

Ms. Golemo is quirky, fun and very knoweledgeable. A great class. Powerpoint slides make it easy to follow. Speeches can't be read, and tests are a little challenging at times. She makes it less scarey.

Not boring. Exams are hard. Pretty fair grader. Have to know your speech well - can't read it.

Great teacher. Passionate. Really easy grader/ test giver. No attendance required but very helpful. Easy class but very constructive and not at all boring.

Ms. Golemo is the sweetest lady you will ever have teach your class. shes clearly passionate about what she does and never makes class uninteresting. you were only allowed 2 absences but classes never went the whole time and were always entertaining. As long as you do your stuff and try your best you will get an A. I promise.

Ms. Golemo is seriously one of the best teachers at Harper! I loved her speech class! She provides a very supportive and comfortable environment for everyone to speak in, so giving speeches wasn't bad at all. She's also super nice and helpful. I'd recommend her to everyone!

i cant remeber the xlass number n section,but SHE WAS THE SHIT!!! very passionate about wat she does! a very strong woman! i was inspired we she spoke! one of my favorites! ;)

There couldn't be a better teacher for a class as nerve-racking as speech 101. An honest effort will get you a B if not an A easily.

She is a wonderful teacher! I hated the idea of speech and she made me think, calmed my nerves and enjoy it! Fair! Helpful! Approachable! Take her! I would take any class she teaches! AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!

She is awesome. I hate speech, but she made me feel relaxed before my speeches and I got all A's on them. There are a few tests throughout but they really are easy. There is no overwhelming amount of work so if you just do it all and go to class then you will definitely get an A!

I took her 2 school years ago, but she was a great teacher. I got an easy on everything in the class. She was very sweet, caring and understanding on just how different everyone and their style and experience of public speaking are. Take her if you need Speech!

She is awesome! She's such a sweet lady, would never give anyone a bad review. Truly has a passion for speech and it shows! She's willing to do anything to help you and make you feel comfortable. Speeches are easy, isnt too strict and always has nice things to say even if you dont think you did that well. LOVED HER!

Amazing lady and teacher. very professional, very helpful, overall incredible teacher. Speech is a scary class for everyone, but she makes the environment fun and encouraging. Do not take advantage of her, because she won't tolerate your laziness. Give her respect...she's one of the best teachers at Harper!

The sweetest teacher you will ever have. She is really soft spoken and gives lots of opportunities for extra credit too. You can miss class twice but if you email her it doesn't count as an absence. The speeches you do are interesting and they take 4 days for everyone to present

Ms. Golemo is one of the nicest, most helpful teachers I have ever had.She's super corny but enthusiatic.She won't grade you harshly if you are a bad speaker, as long as you try. If your outine follows her basic format you will do well. I HIGHLY recommend her she is truely the greatest!

Ms. Golemo is one of the nicest professors that I've ever had. She makes this class comfortable for those who have a hard time speaking in front of others. She made the class relatively easy, she wants everyone to succeed. I would definitely recommend her as a teacher if you are taking a speech class. You won't regret having her as a teacher.

Ms. Golemo is the best- I was terrified to do speeches and with her help I was extremely successful in the class! No required topics, everything is your own choice!

Honestly the best Speech teacher there is in the department. Her personality in total makes the class fun and actually interedsting. She is not a hard grader at all and the best thing is that she lets you pick your own topic!!I wish all my professors were like her. Highly recommended

Awesome Teacher, she actually made me enjoy class and giving speeches. she makes you feel as comfortable as possible, and she is funny. easy grader and gives extra credit. allows you to use the textbook for tests except on the last one. easy A

Oh my goodness she is a precious angle, one of the nicest teachers I've come across. Its obvious she is passionate for what she does and for helping make speech as stressfree as possible. I feel bad for anyone who can't take golemo. She puts a smile on peoples faces (: she also has a funny obsession with singers like james blunt. Rock on golemo!

So lucky to have taken this class with her. Unbelievable teacher, makes public speaking as comfortable as it can be. I STRONGLY STRONGLY recommend her to anyone who is nervous about take a speech class. Also has open book exams, very lucky to have had her. One of the best teachers at Harper.

Such a nice teacher! she's helpful, thoughtful and intelligent. The class is an easy A.

Ms. Golemo is very nice, super approachable, and also extremely helpful!! She grades fast and is an easy grader! Also will respond to emails pretty fast! There are 3 exams, first two are open note and not that hard, last one is not open. Offers a bunch of extra credit, and has a few pop quizzes, but they aren't that bad! Take her! :)

Ms. Golemo is awesome! She is the nicest person, makes class go by quick, she provides you with exactly what you need to pass the class with an A. As long as you show up for your assigned speeches you will have no problems. Tests are easy because you can use the little textbook. There are only four speeches and she is the best grader! TAKE HER!!

Very good teacher and nice lady!! Always willing to help and the class is an easy A for sure. Easy grader and if you take notes on her PowerPoints you don't really need to buy the book for the class. Open book tests though! Good experience with her.

Ms. Golemo is one of the nicest teachers at Harper that I have experienced so far! Having to sign up for Speech 101 is awful to think about, but after taking it with her, I would definitely choose her. Straight forward, very enthusiastic, never gets upsetangry about anything, and the class is very easy. Tests are open book and speeches are simple.

A good experience. Ms. Golemo walks the walk and is a good speaker too, so the class is never boring. I was scared to take this class, but it isn't as bad as I thought. Ms. Golemo is very approachable and the speeches are interesting.

Show up to class for numerous extra credit opportunities throughout the course, very encouraging and enthusiastic teacher, a few quizzes which are all open book except one and four major speeches throughout the course (Narrative, Demonstrative, Informative, and Persuasive) , pretty straight forward, pay attention in class, a Pop Quiz might come!

The class is pretty straight forward. I was afraid of speech, and she made it it a very good experience. Sometimes the power point lectures can get long, but the class is never boring. She is one of the NICEST teachers at Harper and funny too. Only 4 speeches. Easy grader. I totally recommend.

Speech is a mandatory course that most students try to avoid. But Professor Golemo makes speech enjoyable and easy. She is one of the sweetest teachers I known, she always has a smile on her face. She will always be there to help you. Tells you exactly what she expects and she is an easy grader. Easy A, So take her you will not regret it!

Very nice teacher. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

By far the most sweetest teacher I ever had. As long as it looks like you put time into your speeches you will get an A. She made speech class enjoyable.

This was one of my favorite teachers so far at Harper. She really is incredible at giving speeches, and just a very intelligent person to learn from. As long as you attend class, and put in a reasonable amount of work- you'll get an A.

Ms Golemo is truly a fantastic teacher. She is so passionate about her students, her career, etc., and it really shows! She is also very kind and caring. She gives great feedback as well as constructive criticism. I would highly recommend her!!!

Super easy to talk to, gives constructive and positive feedback. Would absolutely take her again. Give respect and kindness: get respect and kindness. Easy going class all together. Learned a lot.

One of my favorite teachers. Easy A if you do the work. She is very understanding and is always there to help. Didn't do much in that class, just presented speeches. Little bit weird, but that's what makes her so funny and unique. Would recommend to anyone who want's an A and an amazing experience. Good Luck!! TAKE HER

Ms. Cheryl Golemo is awesome!!!! this is my first class at a college. I'm a junior in highschool and im passing the class with an A. She wants you to do well. There is a first day pop-quiz but you get a chance to take it again at the end of the year and get a higher grade.

Really great teacher. Extra credit given during class for game reviews and volunteering and seeing outside speaker events at Harper. Sometimes if you show up on time there a random extra credit given! She's caring and funny. She coached me for a real speech I had to give outside of class, too, and wrote a great letter or rec for a scholarship!

don't wait just take it. she is the best.

Great teacher and is super understanding. She is a sweetheart and makes a class about public speaking less scary

Best professor every i had.

For anyone planning to take Speech 101 I highly encourage you to take Golemo because she is very welcoming and makes everyone comfortable when speaking.

she is the best Professor for speech, dont wait just take her and she gives lots of extra credit opportunities easy A, and exams are all open book

THE BEST TEACHER EVER AT HARPER! I never liked public speaking but professor Golemo made our speeches welcoming. She is such a sweetheart. SHOW UP to class because she awards you for perfect attendance and there is A LOT of extra credit opportunities given during class. She replies to e-mails in a matter of 5 minutes at most. TAKE HER!!!!

One of my favorite professors at Harper! She is so caring and funny and patient. Let me re-do a speech that tanked the 1st attempt. Never boring and very helpful. Take this class!

TAKE HER!!! You wont regret it. Probably the best professor Ive had at Harper

She's really good at teaching speech 101. All you have to do is listen and follow her instructions and I will guarantee that you can get A easily. She's also really easy going and fun in the class. if I have the chance to retake speech 101, I will choose her class.

really nice and gives a lot of extra credit an easy A if you do the work

One of the nicest teachers I've had. Just be a good student, please.

I was dreading taking speech, but professor Golemo is wonderful! The speeches are easy as long as you put in effort. She gives feedback on all assignments so you know what you did well, and what to work on. She responds quickly to emails, and is helpful when you have questions. I just wish she taught more classes so I could take her again.

Fantastic and caring teacher. A must take Professor!

If you've never taken speech PLS TAKE IT WITH MS. GOLEMO YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! She is so sweet, caring, and gives great feedback. Class consists of 4 speeches (intro., narrative, informative, and persuasive). PPT slides are how the class is taught, you listen to the audio. Textbook needed (about $20). 8 quizzes 3 exams (super easy).

such a great teacher with a kind soul. I have misunderstood the format of my speech and she gave me a D AND THE CHANCE TO FIX IT, after fixing it she gave me a high B. super understanding and is great at explaining assignments. three speeches total and a few quizzes and about 2-3 easy tests. take her class for an easy A. she made speech fun

She is an easy grader just follow the outline she gives you! I would write my paper in 2 days and get an A+. I'm not a good at writing essays or speaking but this class was great. Email her questions she answers fast. She gives extra credit, has super simple quizzes (4?) and only 3 essays (with speech) for the semester. TAKE THIS ONLINE CLASS!

If you are nervous about taking speech please take her course. She is an amazing professor that cares about her students. Textbook is a small booklet that is easy to read and lectures are entertaining. You will not regret taking her course!!!!

Best speech course ever. 100% take her! She is so sweet and helpful and she is very kind in her grading. However, do not take advantage of her because it just bites you in the butt cause you will have a lot to make up which is not fun. Please be as kind to her as she is to you!

Absolutely loved her she is a great teacher and the class is even better when completed with fun classmates.

Love her! She is so sweet and caring. She wants everyone to feel comfortable while speaking. The only bad thing about her is that she is kind of strict about attendance.

Such an easy grader! The speeches are very self explanatory. Easy A if you follow the outlines.

It was a good class. I her lectures can be a bit heavy at times but shes a bubbly teacher with a lot of energy and enjoys the world of speech. Her guidelines are simple and if I looked at them more closely, I could have gotten an easy A.

The absolute best!! Words can't even describe how truly amazing she is. I am going to miss her class so much!! She is fantastic. The nicest professor I've ever had.

WOW just WOW, professor Golemo is the right SPE 101 professor to take, she is very lenient in your speeches and does want you to pass this class with an A. There are 5 total speeches to take in front of the class, you're usually only given 2 weeks to prepare for them, but even if you feel you did bad she will still give you an above average grade.

Why can't all professors be like her? She is beyond AMAZING. Love!

She's a very caring person who wants all of her students to succeed as well as a great professor. Her class is fairly easy, but even if you are struggling she gives a lot of extra credit opportunities, especially nearing the end. If you need a speech credit, absolutely take her.

Probably one of the sweetest professors you'll meet. Pop quiz at the beginning of the course, but don't worry because you can retake it at the end to see what you've learned, so don't be intimidated! She gives a lot of extra credit to boost your grade and is not a harsh grader. There are three exams that are pretty easy, and they're all open note!

Professor Golemo is such a great speech professor! She knows how difficult giving a speech is for some students and makes it an enjoyable experience. Professor Golemo is always willing to give you suggestions for topics and give feedback. My main tip is to arrive to class early on sign up days so you can get the time you want. Really great class!

Professor Golemo is truly one of the greatest professors the institution has to offer, she recognizes that her students are human wonderfully conveys that. Plenty of opportunity for extra credit and you will always receive meaningful feedback for your work. Cheryl Golemo is a highly educated and inspiring teacher and I exceedingly recommend her.

I came back to harper after a decade and this was my first class. What an amazing teacher, she made everyone feel comfortable, i genuinely went to each class of how much i learned and how warm professor golemo is. you can not do bad in this class, she genuinely cares so much, shares her own stories and a easy grader with many extra credit chances.

If you have the chance to take speech with Prof. Golemo, I would recommend! Public speaking is not my favorite, but her class made it very manageable!

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS AT HARPER! She cares about students and is a very intelligent lady. Sometimes pop quizzes but you learn before hand abt it. Make sure to read the book while taking the test super helpful. Tests are kinda hard btw. Very interesting in class stories and fun. Makes public speaking Very Very enjoyable.

She is very sweet and accommodating. Always encouraging and caring towards students. As someone with social anxiety, she was helpful and nonjudgmental.
