Very unprofessional teaching skills. Never hands out guidelines or rubrics for speeches and projects. Very vague directions are given. If just ONE tiny aspect of your outline or project is accidentaly left out, you are not allowed to present on a speech day. Horrible communication for a speech professor. Highly recommended to avoid.

Yeah try to avoid this woman if you can. She only allows one late assignment. I had an issue where technology had messed up and she considered the assignment late even though it was not my fault? Also un-clear with her directions. I emailed her about an assignment that messed up again and she would not take it even though I put a lot into it.

Most assignments are watching a bunch of videos and reviewing them. Two speeches, directions are long but also not super clear. Watching a bunch of shark tank segments depressed me but workload is not heavy if you keep up with it make sure to turn everything in on time.

I took this class online and it was pleasant. There were few assignments and most were simple. Some of them are quite time-consuming though, but as long as you have time to contribute to this class you'll be fine. The professor gives chances for retakes and extra credit as well. The textbook is only needed a handful of times throughout the class.

This professor is very difficult to work with, her canvas page is empty, not very collaborative, very rude responding through emails, doesn't answer the questions asked through emails, and her presentations in class are vague with no details. Professor Hudspeth is Impossible to work with and I highly recommend taking a different professor.

Professor Hudspeth was a good pick for speech. There are only three speeches and a couple of assignments. I had an issue with my last speech, and I had to resubmit, but she ended up giving me a grade above the penalty. The rubric is clear, and she gives good feedback on assignments. Follow the instructions and guidelines and you'll be fine!

I missed a point in the rubric, and she wanted me to redo the video instead of taking 5 points off. Even after I told her I'd rather have the points taken off then, have to get five people together again to retake the video. So then I got a lower score than I would have originally because she took off points for it being resubmitted.

Her grading policy is strict, allowing one late assignment with a 20% penalty. She graded one of my late assignments normally, so I thought I hadn't used my late pass. Weeks later, she changed my grade from 100 to 80%, saying it was my one late pass, which caused me to fail the course. Avoid her if you need more leniency.

This professor was pretty easy to work with, and the class itself was very easy. She doesn't use honorlock, and there were literally ten assignments for the whole course. However, if she says a time requirement, it has to be exact. I got a zero on a lengthy speech because I was nine seconds over. She also only allows one resubmission for a speech.

Professor Hudspeth is a wonderful instructor. She provides clear feedback and is flexible with grading. The workload is manageable, and using resources like unstuckstudy can really help with study prep. Overall, a great class to take.

Dr. Hudspeth is a great professor. Rubrics are clear, and she gives very clear feedback. Follow all the directions and read the material for the quizzes. They're timed, so be careful. She responds to emails quickly to answer questions. She offers extra credit and a makeup speech too. Overall, a very nice professor, take her if you have speech.

This was an easy course, only because of the teacher. She made the class fun to do and easy to pass, unlike many others. I took speech online and she was a great teacher, making everything simple for her students. She is a nice lady.

Her assigment rubrics can be vague, which leaves confusion and frustration for the student. She wasn't very nice, and the class wasn't very memorable. But, I was seven seconds over on a speech I had to record in front of five people (100 pt assignment) and she gave me a zero and redo. So I might be biased. It's simple but don't go over time.
