As long as you give your speeches and are organised she is easy. Averages >85 don't have to take the final. No reason to buy book, unless you end up taking the final.
you really have to practice organization and not using uh and other vocal segregates in your speech, or else you will do terrible!
She's a really funny and great teacher. Take her for speech.
Incredibly easy- took her at 7:30 am and she kept me awake. Very energetic and glad to be there. All you gotta do is come to class and do three speaches- you get an A
Great prof. Just go to class and do 3 speeches. Easy.
Very easy. No exams unless you do poorly on the 3 speeches. Very fun class.
mrs.sharpe is something else!this lady talks very fast so listen!take notes,and make sure you dont miss more than 3DAYS!! if you do you GOTTA take the final,if you dont your exempt. oh ya you wont need the book. shes a true comedian and a great professor
very EASY CLASS!just attend class do your 3 little speeches and your done! knows her material very well and shes a great proff. would gladly take her again...
I had her at 7:30am and she kept me awake!!!wow. Fun, simple class. Expect a low score on vocal segregates(um's)but, 3 speeches and done. No final if avg grade is 85+, and not excessive absences. I walked away with A. No book required
Friends took her said she was and awesome teacher, talked to her in the halls a couple of times, took her class with a friend and drop it that same day, shes kinda intimidating...but seems like a good teacher.
Very Easy Teacher. Funny. Can be a comedian. It's hard to make me laugh but she cracks me up! Give introduction speech about yourself. Then, informative speech and a demonstrative speech. That's it and you're done.
She is TOTALLY AWESOME. I don't like public speakin, but she makes the class easy and tells you how to get an easy A. Don't miss more than 3 days and do all 3 speeches and you don't have to take the final.WOW!!! She is GREAT!!
Go to class and make A's on speeches and you will be exempt from exam!
The class is very easy. However if you do not like gossiping older women you should not take this class. She tells embarrasing stories about other people that have been in her class and she mentions most of their names. And her flamboience gets to be very annoying. But as I said the class is easy.
Shes a great teacher, but her grading can be kind of hard. If you do exaclty what she wants you will be fine, but if you dont, shes takes off alot of points for little things. Very funny, would highly reccomend.. just do your speeches the way she wants..easy A or B
awesome teacher...loved the class!
This is a great class. Ms. Sharpe is very funny and keeps the class interesting. I don't like speaking in front of a crowd, but I did it and made an a 95, 93, and an 89 on my speeches. Got an A in the class didn't miss but 2 days and I am exempt from the final. VERY EASY A

awesomeeeee teacher! very funny!
awesome and easy
Ms.Sharpe ROCKS! she's an awesome teacher that keeps everyone interested. i would highly recommend this class to everyone. And her stories are the best. the one about the corn in her hair personally cracks me up. TAKE HER ITS EASY AND FUN...
Shes very very funny!!!looks like a wrestler
I highly recommend this Professor. She wants each student to do well. She is considerate, kind, and helpful. You will enjoy her immensely. Take this class during the mini's. You'll do fine. Never a dull moment. You must say "get" not "git".
Winter Mini Semester Dec. 2004.Gale is the most instructive, congenial, interesting, caring, entertaining and comical professor ever.There is never a dull moment.She is fair, but I must warn you: she marks speeches critically (don't say "uhh" all the time).I received 95, 102 and 98. I'll miss her!
G. Sharpe will do her best to make your butterflies fly in formation! Awesome instructor and had a great time! Money was well spent! Also made a "A" in the class, but had to earn it!
very interesting, great teacher. Attendence is important. You really learn how to become a better public speaker. Great class!
what an amazing woman! she makes you want to get up and go to class! i had her Fall Semester of 04 and i don't think i stopped laughing once! just positive energy all over! she is willing to help. if you have a chance, even if you don't need the credit....take her class for the laughs!
Very fuuny teacher! makes class fun and interesting
The funniest professor I have ever had....I have never laughed so hard before. I was one of those people that hates to give speeches, but she makes the class a blast. I HIGHLY recommend.
She is an awesome teacher. She made speech fun with all of her interesting stories. Bring some extra underwear because she's so funny she may make you pee your pants!
She is awsome.
Great Teacher! Makes you laugh soooo hard and is so nice! She always has a smile plastered on her face, is caring and class is always fun!!!
Great teacher! Only 3 easy speeches all semester. She had the entire class laughing the whole time we were there. Easy and fun class. Best teacher ever!
dont miss this class ! you will be sorry you did ! shes halarious ! very entertaining and helpful !
the class is FUN!!
all I can say is jolly good show
You must have her. She will make you a better person cause that's what she is. Hilarious,crazy,dynamic,all out surreal. You won't regret it.
She is entertaining and you will look forward to going to class. If you do good on your speeches she will make you exempt from the final and you can stop going to class as soon as you finish your last speech. I recommend you take her and do your speeches before anyone else so you can finish the class early in the semester.
SO DANG FUNNY IT HURTS!!!! she reall keeps a class goin'. Great personality and wonderful teachnig methods!! u will LOVE it!
best class I ever had, and coolest teacher i ever had
What else can be said about this funny lady that hasn't already been said? Mrs. Sharpe is a great teacher, and makes Speech FUN. Doesn't make you feel nervous when speaking in front of the class, makes you feel at ease. She is a great person and cares about her students. DEFINITELY recommend taking her class!
What a great teacher! She is funny and made the class so much fun. I dreaded the class before I took it, but it is probably my favorite one now. Take her if you can! She is AWESOME!
She is hilarious and a really great teacher, she puts you at ease when you have to do speechs, I highly recommend her!
I was very apprehensive the first time Ienter her class she put me at ease in two min. She is very funny I injoy going to her class, she is very funny and has an award winning smile.Her smile adds a glow that helps put you at ease it is a shame this semester is about over.
awesome, aswesome, aswesome. Take her she is very easy. One final but if you come to class everyday you are exempt from it. Two speeches only.
omg she is really cool, + funny, very funny, i mean i really enjoy that class, there are only 3 speaches, the 1st one is an A, and the others well is up to you, but youll do fine, its an easy A, and if you do an A or B on the speaches then you're exampt from the final!!!! i highly recomend her!!!!!!!
Funniest teacher i have ever had. If you make an A or B in her class you don't have to take her final. Don't buy the book until after class starts chances are good you won't even need it.
SUCH AN EASY CLASS. Plus, she is a very interesting and fun teacher! I highly recommend this class....even if you are terrified of talking in front of people. She is very understanding and makes you feel comfortable. If you show up to class enough and make at least a B (you will), you get exempt from the final (and won't need your book).
She's kind of spastic. She'll tell you she's easy. She grades hard on small mistakes. If your a guy, hit on her, it seems to work.
Awesome
She is absolutely hilarious. She makes you want to come to class everyday. It is very easy and she lets you know from the very beginning how the rest of the semester will be. Only 3 speeches and the first one is an automatic 100. Whatever you do, don't buy the text book. I didn't. Doesn't treat anyone differently. TAKE HER and you won't regret it!!
Fantastic teacher. Has a general knowledge of everything. She helps you ease into speaking, and is perfect for a mini class. One of the best teachers I have had all year.
Would recommend to anyone to take this course in the spring or winter minis. So much fun and only a few speeches compared to the regular semester. You do have to work at making your speeches great and she takes off for pronunciation, and how many times you say “uh” and “umm”. But all in all fun class and she tells great stories from her past classe
Great teacher! Very fun and hilarious. Show up for your speeches because some people are stupid enough not to and they fail, duh. Don't buy the textbook, you don't need it. Watch your pronounciation and don't say "um" or anything and you'll do great. First speech automatic 100. Only 3 speeches total.
A very fun and interesting class! She makes it easy as long as you sit down and work just a little while on your speeches. Show initiative and she'll take a shining to you. You will need to show for class, but she has scheduled days where no one has to show up. Very easy class!
Well, I didn't take her class, but she's my Aunt, so i've been in her classroom before. She's an awesome woman, and a wonderful person! Great teacher also! COLLEGE IS KNOWLEDGE! Love, Jamie Lynn Beckner. (She's my moms sister :) ) Shes the best, ever.
Super awesome teacher...funniest one ever. Ask about the S&M grandma. Takes off speeches due to the way you say certain words. Idiot to not get at least a B in this class.
Very easy!!! i loved her, she was great only 4 speechs, do the first one and no matter what a A! she is easy pass all her speechs and do not have to take the final and do have to come back to class!
Ms. Sharpe will have you laughing at her hilarious stories and is a nice lady. However, if you do a speech poorly, you will get a bad grade on it. Attend class as often as you can and pay attention and you'll take away more from this class than a passing grade.
i laughed so much in this class. She is an awesome teacher.
I was excited to take her class because I heard how cool she was. That's until she took off 20 points for my accent. I'm from Texas, I didn't know we were trying to be TV reporters. If you're nervous about speeches or God forbid have an accent steer clear.
This class was so much fun! I loved loved LOVED this class. Dr. Sharpe is the funniest person I have ever met. For this class, we only had 2 speeches and a mock interview. The first speech is an automatic A if you can make the time and EVERYONE makes the time. She is always available and answers your e-mails quickly. TAKE HER!!! She is great
She is AWESOME!!! She is SOOOO funny! She makes speech class fun! Only 3 speeches throughout the whole course. and the first one is a guaranteed A! TAKE HER!!!
Wonderful teacher!! very easy class!! Super easy to get a high A even if you are not perfect.keeps you interested and sincerely cares about her students! text book is not required or needed. everyone should take this class.
Great, hilarious class. Enjoyed her class, no work until your turn for speeches, only three, 1st is guaranteed A if you bring visuals, ex. photos, inlcuding other two. She has you listening and laughing the whole time.
She was an EXCELLENT teacher. I took her for Speech over the 2007 Winter -Mini. She made us do 3 speeches (first one was an automatic A if you did it) the second one was a Informative Speech and the third one was a How-to Speech. She has a final but if you make an A or a B in the class you DONT have to take it! Textbook was not required.
GREAT TEACHER! EVERYDAY SHE HAD THE CLASS LAUGHING SO HARD WE WERE IN TEARS. PLEASE TAKE THIS TEACHER YOU WILL HAVE A BLAST PLUS AN EASY A WHICH WOULD BRING YOUR GPA UP. SHE IS AN AMAZING TEACHER IF I COULD TAKE HER CLASS OVER I WOULD, WE NEED MORE TEACHERS LIKE HER. Y0U D0NT EVEN NEED THE TEXT BOOK
Oh man she's great. She's like super hyper and loud and always trying to crack up the class. Very crazy, very funny! First speech an automatic A. Ex credit options. You'll like this class don't worry
SHE IS THE BOMB!!!! best teacher ever!!! i took her hybrid class in the summer so it was only 8 days worth of class. she's so much fun!!!!!
Ms. Sharpe is THE best speech teacher; very enthusiastic and funny! Full semester - 3 speeches, first is auto A if you meet simple requirements, other 2 speeches are graded very fairly. She also allows for extra credit; book NOT needed and if you make an A or B, you do NOT have to take the final! Learned a lot and had a lot of fun!
what a fun class! i did her 3week summer mini, class started at 8:30am, i do not do mornings, but i actually made it just cause i looked forward to her class! you have to know/practice your speeches but as long as you do that you will pass w/ an A or B. She is a very funny lady!
She is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Very funny and helpful. would take her class again just because :) If you make an A/B you don't have to take her final! She doesn't really use a textbook. GREAT TEACHER!!!
took her onlineduring the summer easiest class ever, only did 3 speeches and 1final exam, highly recommend this teacher
super cool, seriously. Loved to tell colorful jokes, interact with class and just down to earth.
She was funny!I took her 5wk business spch class& it was easy. Did two speeches, & basically if you had an A or B by finals week you don't have to take finals. If you're willing to sit through most of the course w/o gaining any spch-specific info, take her. It's like going to a stand up comedy show, but you have to give two speeches for an easy A.
She's fantastic! She sets you up for success. She was super helpful and understanding. The only way to fail is to skip a speech. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone.
Very good teacher! Did not even need a text book and she only gave us 3 or 4 speeches and if you make a high enough grade you dont have to take the final. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! If you have stage fright she will do anything she can to help.
Had her for business speech and honestly did not like speech until i got in her class! very laidback and she explains everything clearly! she is very funny and keeps you awake! RECOMMEND HIGHLY!!! she doesnt even make you get a textbook! all notes which is barley any! fun fun class
Took her at lonestar college kingwood. Great professor!! Easy and very fun class!!! Very highly recommend her to anyone!!!
Great teacher, if you can not speak publicly before her class you will when you're done or at least know what to work on. She will help you as much as possible. Attend class and follow directions for a good grade.
Took this class online and there was 3 speeches and a final. The textbook was necessary to know exactly what is expected in your speech. All parts of the course open on the first day so you can complete the class as fast as you want to. The professor is very helpful, I would highly recommend taking this class online!
Took online and she was very helpful. She responds to emails right away. Her grading is fair on the speeches. I only had 3 speeches to do. One on voiceboard and 2 through you tube. SUPER EASY!! I didnt even read the book and got a B on the final. HIGHLY RECCOMMEND HER!!!!!
Best professor EVER! I loved going to class and she explains everything perfectly. She is very comedic and loves what she does. HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING HER!
SHE IS AMAZING!! I HIGHLY suggest taking her class for speech. I took her class at Kingwood, and I'm telling you, she makes you feel pretty good about yourself in the speech class. She is so fun!!! She makes a lot of jokes, and makes you laugh...Favorite professor I've ever had!
Ms. Sharpe was the best teacher I have ever had online. She was very responsive to emails (she even responded within the day you sent it usually), she helped every way possible if you needed it. She was very kind and really clarified everything for you. I wish she taught other classes online so I could have her again. I recommend I finished early!
Awesome professor
Super Awesome Teacher very very funny. All you have to do is give 3 Speeches powerpoints give you good points to presentations.
super easy class, fun too, most of the classes are just people giving speeches
Best professor I've eve had!
I took professor Sharpe for an online course. Yes after reading the syllabus she does seem real tough. She is really a greathelpful professor. She is all about time management! Respond quickly to email. All assignments given first day of class. Do not wait to the last minute to complete assignment It will reflect on you I highly recommend class
Awesome class to take online! She's a very fair grader and always willing to help. I'd highly recommend her to everyone!
