At first I was afraid to take the class after I learned from the Syllabus that I was going to present 3 speeches! However after going to the class I picked up some skills and also my peers were on the same boat as me so we all helped each other to feel confident on doing a speech.Mrs. Lee she is a great instructor

She's listed under "Lee, Marie" as you're registering for some reason. She's very enthusiastic about her work, and is always ready to help you whenever you need it. She sometimes has random quizzes on the syllabus or grading rubrics, but they're easy. The projects and assignments are extremely vague, but can be finished relatively quickly.

She's a very passionate teacher and it's good. However, she gives a lot of work. You have a speech and you have a paper following it. She didn't hear one of our sources in the speech but didn't change our score cuz she didn't "hear" it. The rest of the class did though. A lot of work for sure!

Elaine's interesting. She's fairly easy and not "mean," but do NOT get on her bad side. Do NOT be one second late to class, do NOT forget to read the book- there are pop quizzes, and do NOT email her assignments, she's not very mindful of individual circumstance. Stay healthy and you should have your "A" along with a moderate learning experience.
