This professor goes down as one of my favorites no doubt. She is such a people person! Public speaking can be a challenge for a lot of people, but she makes everyone feel very comfortable and like they are just talking to their friends. She gives great feedback and gives you plenty of time to prepare your speech.

Professor Lawrence is by far my favorite professor. She cares about her students, her lectures are awesome, & she cares about your well being. If something is wrong at home talk to her & she'll work with you. Even if you don't really like public speaking, she teaches you ways to feel comfortable speaking in front of people. LOVE THIS CLASS!

Professor Lawrence is literally the sweetest, most caring professor I've had. I get shy when it comes to present in large groups because I tend to stutter but, she has helped me stutter less and become more confident in my speeches and writing style. It really helped taking this class with my English class. You don't necessarily have to go but go.

Professor Lawrence is a very sweet and caring teacher. It is clear she cares about her students. The class is very easy, just participate!!! If I had to say one negative thing, Id say she is not the most organized professor. She takes awhile to grade and she doesnt have everything set up. Her caring personality makes up for this though.

I took this class remotely in the summer, it was easier since we did the speeches in the comfort of our own homes. There 4 speeches: Introduction, Impromptu, Persuasive, and Informative. They're easy to do, you pick the topic. Easy A, do the work.

Due to covid everything was done at home so I'm not too sure , what she would've had in person. Regardless the home work load was not bad at all. She is also very understanding and selfless!

This teacher is the top best professor I ever had. She is very hilarious. If you failed this class that means you didn't really do well on your speech or you just feel lazy and don't feel like doing anything. The take home test is very easy because it is open book. You can get the textbook online I think but it is best to borrow the book.
