Corny at times but engaging and funny professor. Attendance is 10% of grade so show up and listen and youll be fine. Speeches are tough to start but youll get the hang of it. 3 speeches. 1 midterm and 1 final both 60 questions based off vocabulary and phrases from slides available online. She is a student herself and she actually cares. Top Pick

Ms Johnson was amazing! I enjoyed her class very much and if she teaches another class I need for my degree, I would take her again. I feel she was very respected amongst all her students and she cracked jokes through out to make the class more light hearted. When giving back graded work she put notes that were easy to read and easy to follow.

Ms. Johnson is an amazing professor. She is quite young so she can relate to us college students. My favorite thing about her last semester was that she cares more that the students understand the lesson and actually apply the lesson to their daily lives instead of just grading to grade. She also gives a good amount of extra credit!

She gives you the rubric before you present your speeches. As long as you follow it, you will get a good grade. Her tests are all lecture based. There is no textbook required. Also, attendance is required, if you miss more than 2, you'll grade will go down. If you want an A, you have to work for it!

She's a gem. Nice, funny, smart, and easily approachable. She makes public speaking a more comfortable process getting through. However, watch out for that essay she may give out, she can be though on that. Just follow the rubrics and you'll be fine though.

Professor Johnson's objectives are to make sure you are better informed of your major, have the confidence to present yourself and what you can do (focused on job interviews), and can communicate with your peers/co-workers. She has such a fun personality, and always tries to keep you engaged in her class. BUT do not take her kindness for granted.

She is very passionate about speech, almost to the point where sometimes it seems it is the only class that matters in your life. Didn't need to use the text book. She is a naive professor and tries to relate to her students to much. This can be annoying at times, but is usually to your benefit if you miss class or homework.

Very straightforward class. As long as you follow the speech rubric and do the assignments then its almost impossible to get anything less than a B and A's are easy to get if you do extra credit. Only reason difficulty is a 2 instead of a 1 is that the class was done in the middle of a global pandemic and I'm not too great with speech in general.
