I just want to say Professor Stover is such an amazing professor. She is so understanding and patient with you. She understands how people get nervous and have anxiety to present a speech, so it makes it less intimidating to present. I love how she runs her class and makes everything so easy to understand. Pretty easy class please take if you can!

Mrs. Stover is the best. I had her for Public Speaking 2000 and she was great! She gives lots of time to work on and memorize speeches as well as give good advice for speaking in front of a crowd. Every assignment had good detail and was easy to follow. This class was very fun and she created a very supportive environment.

I had Christine for JMS 2600. The positives were her enthusiasm for the subject matter and making sure we understand. The negative is at times it was boring and seemed out of date

Christine is great at teaching public speaking skills. She's very honest and blunt, which is really refreshing. We didn't use the textbook at all besides group projects (and she provided pdfs of the chapters we used anyway). She is super encouraging and caring, and she engages with everyone's speeches in a mindful way.

Nothing but good things to say about Professor Stover. I am not someone who struggles with public speaking, but I had friends in the class who did. She makes the environment super comfortable and I feel like I improved a lot throughout the semester. As well as that, she is awesome at communicating and makes it very obvious when speeches come up.

Professor Stover is like one of the best teacher ever. She makes the assignments very clear on what she wants, the grading was super light and she was forgiving if you needed extra time. I took public speaking with her and even if you were nervous to go up and speak, she still graded according to content and skill and wouldnt mark you down for nerv

AMAZING. Gives great feedback on all the papers and provides a great understanding of what the paper assignments. She is also very accessible outside of class and will respond to emails quickly. She is understanding and will extend deadlines if needed, but she won't take anything late. she is also super funny and tells great stories.

this class provided a comfortable environment where everyone could exceed. even if you end up missing a speech, makeup days are always offered. I highly recommend taking this professor for public speaking especially you are uncomfortable with the subject.

This is one of my favorite class, Professor Stover is the best! This class is interesting and eveyone in this class is so nice. And I am afraid of speaking in front of so many people, but she always encourages us and gives us good feedback after our speeches. I highly recommend taking her class!

Christine was great. I had her for public speaking, media social identity and community radio. This professor cares so much. She went above and beyond in all the classes I had. I learned without trying and remembered without knowing I should. She's brilliant

Professor Stover brings the energy to each class and is a joy to be around. There are 5 grades in this class: informative speech, persuasive speech, a test, commemorative speech, and a final speech (it can be any of the previous three or an impromptu speech). If you put effort in and speak calmly while making eye contact, you'll do fine!

Professor Stover was super nice, helpful and very flexible. She responds to emails fairly quickly and gives great feedback. Lectures were a bit boring and sometimes felt unnecessary since the class was pretty understandable, but she did her best to keep us engaged and interested + doesn't keep you in class for long. 100% would recommend!
