I took the online class. It was VERY easy. The first half of the class was just watching videos, which is a waste of time and money, I wouldnt invest in them. The speeches are straight forward, easy, and in a relaxed setting. The final is over the videos, or classes if your taking the real class

She is funny and clear. Her tests, though appear to be a bit harder than you would expect. Be prepared and you will be fine.

I took her Public Speaking Class. I liked it a lot. One day I would go to the lecture which is taught by Prof. Bridges and the rest of the days are in the lab class. I enjoyed the lab in which I made three speeches individually, in a pair, and in a group. Follow instractions to get A's! As long as you study for the tests, they are not hard AT ALL!

She is the best SPEECH teacher ever! Just go to class and get her powerpoint slides and you will do well on her quizes and the final. It is an easy A if you do what your suppose to do in that class. You will have to make speeches, so don't be shock! it is a speech class afterall. She takes ATTENDANCE everyday. So take notes and you'll make an A

She is like the best public speaking teacher ever! I've always been nervouse about taking speech. But she makes the course easy! Just listen to her lectures cuz she takes attendance and her tests which are quizzes basically. Just read her lecture notes and u'll be fine. The labs are easy! Three speech, two quizes and one final. EASY A! Take her!

Very clear. She practically GIVES you the test/quiz questions. Almost everything you need is on the power point lectures, ebook isnt that expensive, you just don't use it a whole bunch =/. The only bad thing is that she takes off MAJOR points for excessive absences.

Very nice teacher. Easy class if you attend. You MUST go to class and you will learn a lot. She has the students, as a group, present each chapter and she will point out what you need to know for the tests. Very easy -- very good teacher.

E-mails back right away. Come to class because she gives out test questions. Also, whenever each group presents they give handouts and those are very useful when it comes to taking the exams. The most difficult thing about the class was the digital story presentation, but it is not impossible. Not that difficult of a class.

ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY.GIVES YOU QUESTIONS THAT WILL BE ON THE TEST.ONLY PROBLEM IS THE DIGITAL STORY DONT WAIT UNTIL LAST MINUTE.ONLY 2 EXAMS RELATIVELY EASY.

CLASS WAS OK, IF YOU KILL IN YOUR SPEECHES, AND HALFWAY DO WELL ON THE QUIZZES YOU ARE GUARANTEED AT LEAST A C! BUT SHE WILL NOT GIVE YOU ANYTHING, YOU HAVE TO EARN IT!

Took online class. shes fair and nice. practice on your speeches. quiz 2 is a lil hard. but she gives u powerpoint notes that help alot. come 2 class! take her for 1300s comm classes. she might seem scatterbrained and talks fast, but she teaches many classes. read syllabus. read announcments on WebCT. Read toolbox in back of book & ull do fine

The class itself is pretty easy all you have to do is go over your pp for the 2 tests you are given. When it comes to your speeches make sure you have all your information and do your outline correct. YOu mostly deal with the TA's. Overall its a fair class, no one should fail it!

This professor has very strict guidelines for not missing any class or even being late to class. So this is a class that you definitely cannot skip. Other than that this is an easy course, only 3 speeches and the quizzes/tests are very easy if you study a little bit.

I took this as an online class, but still had to come to campus. I think I learned a lot though, and my TA was really cool.

So can someone please expalin how you take public speaking as an online course. It reallyi is hard to understand that.

I took it online. You have to come on campus 4 times: once for each of the 3 speeches, and then once for the final. In general, class is kind of easy. I never met Mrs. Bridges, but her TA is awesome. TA does pretty much all the grading. Lectures recorded on youtube about 1 hr each. Final exam was easy. I got A-

This class was definitely an easy A---if and only IF you go to class everytime. Pick a time you will go. There are 3 speeches during the class and I made A's on them all. Do the extra credit. You hardly see Bridges, it is mostly your instructor. Great class overall!

Very easy A. You hardly see the prof after halfway through the semester because you don't have to attend lecture as much. The TAs are AWFUL! My TA should never teach speech in a million years! Don't take Kennedy if at all possible b/c you see the TAs more than the prof. Easy class overall, you have to attend class to make an A however.

This professor uses her TA's for every little thing. It is almost impossible to talk with her without going through your TA first. The only thing I will warn you about are the quizzes and the Final exam. Make sure you go to class, take notes and you should do fine.

I read the bad reviews about professor Bridges prior to taking this course and luckily did not worry about all of the negative words. You literally see professor Bridges 6 times, and the rest was with Kennedy, which is a great TA! Show up to class, pay attention and do well on your speeches and you will get an A like myself.

I took this as a hybrid class. Lectures went by really quickly and she lets you know what's on the quiz/test. There are 2 quizzes, 3 speeches, and 1 comprehensive exam. I did pretty bad on the speeches, but I made an A- in the class because of the comprehensive exam & attendance grade. Since the quiz was online, she let you use your notes.

You will rarely see her since TAs do most of the 'teaching.' Your experience will depend on your TA. Simple quizzes, presentations, and exercises. Stricly sticks to syllabus and sends out emails if anything changes.

Interesting class, you'll learn a lot. 2 exams, a paper, and the class ended about 2 weeks before my other classes. Tests are not too hard; paper is 7-9 pages. Take her.

I guess it all depends on who your TA is. Aside from the fact that one of the speeches was based on the textbook, the textbook was pretty unnecessary. Her lectures and powerpoints are pretty straightforward.

Never saw the professor, only the TA. Our TA was very helpful and understood that not everyone is good at giving speeches. She graded very easy and gave us hints throughout the course. If you do not get an easy TA, do not take this course.

Such a nice lady and funny too. I enjoyed her class. Basically students give weekly presentations in groups on each chapter. Easy A.. 2Tests, 1 five-pg paper (movie review), & she takes attendance

This class is an Easy A if put forth some effort. You have 3 speeches and 2 small quizzes online as well as a comprehensive final. TAs really determine how much you enjoy this class. Be warned that the syllabus is quite strict.

Easy class. She is a bit of a mess with organization, but otherwise is a good teacher, and relates every lecture to a test. 2 tests, 1 paper, and a group project. She's nice, but doesn't grant much leeway with missing assignments or class. Funny, enjoyable class.

It's a simple class as long as you show up and participate. There are no exams instead you have three speeches , but they are graded fairly easily so don't worry. The lectures are fine and everything you need will be posted online. Watch your attendance though costs you points.

She is there for you and is helpful. She has good charisma. However, she only lectures on Mondays for that class. Labs are held with helpful lab instructors. Students must do an informative, group, and persuasive peech. Participation is graded.

Nice lady, but you really don't see her much. Monday lectures with her and Wednesday and Friday lab with your TA. So how well you enjoy the class really depends on your TA. Instructor Bukowski is awesome! Overall, an easy and helpful class. Learnsmart assignments, 3 speeches and mandatory attendance.

She (ironically) communicates horribly via email - she always comes across rude. In person she is friendly and in honesty she is accommodating within reason. Anyone leaving her a negative review is more than likely a student who needs their hand held in order to pass, and she won't do that. She coo tho.

Just keep up with the policy statement. Turn in and complete all assignments on time. She will follow the book, so if you need examples.. just look in the book. Dont expect to be walked through every single detail.

I had no probs w/ her. She can seem rude through email but she's truly not. Class is a breeze. 2 tests & some simple HW assignments. 1 group presentation & a video analysis paper/video at the end. She does take attendance & counts it towards final grade. Tests are short & straight from the book. Not a tough class. Just show up. Easy A.

Do the work that she assigns, the way she assigns it and it's impossible not to make an A. She gives example speeches and outlines that you can use as templates for yours. Do the work and get an A!

Took her my last semester and that was by far the easiest , most interesting class. The project was really fun, she gives 2 options. And we had to do presentations which she graded really easy. We sometimes had homework but it was a piece of cake.

To get an A: read the assigned ch. in the textbook (old edition of text works just fine), go to class & note down what she tells you to. easy group project where y'all present a ch. together, also a simple video assignment given towards the end of class, some hw given but not much. easy exams. would recommend.

Class isn't that bad if you read the instructions. She is very particular with everything including how you email her. You will not do well if you don't look at the instructions very carefully. She is fun to talk to, she loves what she teaches, and you actually learn a lot. Hard, if you don't put in the effort. Would take her again!

A lot of people were scared of this professor, but as long as you can follow very specific directions, youll be okay.
