Nice person, very inspirational and made lectures fun. Not an easy A but fair grader. Believe me, she is as good as it gets.

Professor Schultz is one of the best professors I've had. She grades fairly and as long as you show that you tried your best she will give you a good grade. I came into this class thinking I would fail because of my shyness, but thanks to her I was able to overcome one of my biggest fears: public speaking. She is a great motivator, an inspiration.

I would definitely take her again. She guided us and even shared some relevant personal experiences to help us. She makes herself available even outside of school; just contact her and she'll be more than happy to help. She's very kind and always wants the best for her students.

Professor Schultz is one of the most passionate professors I have ever seen. She displays genuine care for her students. She isn't exactly an easy grader, but that's because she has high expectations for everyone and knows that everyone is capable of doing well.

If I had to take this class again I would definitely go with this professor. She's always looking for ways to help us and finds alternatives to help us pass.

Good class taught by a good professor. When I started COM, I was very shy and scared of public speaking but as the class progressed, I got much better at it and that was the best takeaway from this class. Prof. Schultz really cares about her students and always refers to us as family. Not very difficult to get an A but it takes some work.

Prof. Schultz has to be among the best professors at Baruch. You can tell that she is passionate about teaching by the way she conducts her lessons.

The best professor I've ever had. Professor Schultz truly cares about her students and tries to inspire them every way possible. The class requires a bit of work, but you will surely become a better speaker and writer afterwards.

Public speaking wasnt always my strongest skill. But Professor Schultz really helped me improve. Not only in public speaking, she gives good life advise and pushes you to more. She focuses on other life skills, and she makes you work for your grade. Even though this class is required I would love to take it again with her as a professor.

Took this class in the evening, last fall.. It was absolutely amazing. Prof. Schultz is stern but she's honest, respected, funny and inspirational. It's could be a tough class but easy for those that care about the material and the benefits that come from it. Attend, participate, do your work and you'll see yourself with a solid good grade.

Extremely dedicated to her students!

Professor Schultz is the most impactful teacher I've ever had at Baruch. Not only was she well-versed in all the topics we discussed but she cared so much for all of the students.

Professor Schultz is indeed a gem.i learned so much in her class her class is pretty straightforward and Her grading structure is very concise , she definitely knows her craft She wants you to excel not only in her class but in your pursuit of greatness. I honorably recommend you take her Com 3150 class or public speaking class. she's the best.

Professor Schultz truly cares about the well being of her students in terms of their speech skills but also cares about her students future and their potential career. She sees to that all her students grow as speakers but also goes the extra mile to get her students on the right track for their careers. Take her if you want to learn, not an ez A

Heather is one of the most caring teachers I have ever had. You can tell is very passionate about teaching. Unlike other professors what she teaches actually helps you in the real world. She gives great feedback and even if you are shy speaking in front of people by the end of the class you improve immensely. fair grader,available outside of class.

Very kind, dedicated, and genuine. Honestly, she should be teaching other Baruch professors how to not be garbage. Very clear with grading rubrics and great assignment feedback. Do what she recommends and you WILL improve. Not an easy A class, but put in reasonable effort and you'll get one nonetheless. Recommend one million percent.

Professor Schultz was my favorite professor at baruch. Shes more than a professor, she is a mentor. I have learned so much from her 3150 class. She is very inspiring and motivating her students constantly even outside her classroom curriculum. It is very hard to find a professor who genuinely care for you and want you to do well in life. best prof

Amazing Professor! I took her last Fall and I felt like this was the most valuable class I have ever taken at Baruch. She is incredibly energetic. She wants you to win and succeed not just in her class in the everyday world. I never never met a professor like her and would recommend her to everyone. She is a model professor- they should take notes.

She cares about her students alot and wants all of her students to succeed. Wonderful professor

Professor Schultz is perhaps one of the most influential and motivational professors you will ever meet during your time at Baruch. Be sure to submit your work ON TIME (she is obsessed with punctuality and attention to detail), and carefully consider the feedback she gives you on how to improve. Both things will get you a great grade.

Amazing Professor, pushes you to do your best and prepares you for your future. Practices mock interviews, public speaking, and your elevator pitch.

This is my second time taking Professor Schultz's class and I would take it a third time if I could! Her class has been my favorite at Baruch so far, she's truly taught me loads about public speaking. corporate communication, and life!

There's a reason why I've taken 2 clases with Prof. Schultz, she's truly a gem. She is a fair grader and if you do what you're supposed to do, you will be fine.

The grading is clear and there is time in class to go over assignments. This class helps a lot with public speaking, make sure you follow her notes. She in big on participation.

The books are available at the library so you don't need to buy them for the class. The writing assignments aren't difficult, and are good examples of writing that you will do in the real world. She does give a lot of edits on your paper but that is good if you wanna make changes and use them as writing samples for jobs. Overall an easy class.

Professor Schultz is an amazing person first of all. She truly cares about her students. It was an honour being in her class; she is extremely knowledgeable about pretty much everything. Communication goes a long way and she will be there for you to lose your fear of public speaking. BEST PROFESSOR AT BARUCH. I would take her again if possible.

Great professor and very inspirational, Professor Schultz really help me with my writing and public speaking.

This is the second class I've taken with Professor Schultz and she's great. She truly cares about her students. We had a total of 4 writing assignments and 3 presentations. While they were somewhat difficult, she is always there to help you. The readings were very relevant to the assignments. She also practices meditation and implements it in class

Overall amazing professor. Cares about your grade and input in-class discussion. Friendly, honest, and clear about what is expected from her students. Always available via email, gives highly detailed feedback on all submitted work. Prof. Schultz made the transition from in-class lectures to distant learning easy and smooth.

She is very open on how she grades us and gives us thorough feedback so we can improve. For the speeches we were assigned, it's mostly based on you and how much you prepared for it but if you ever need help, you can always ask her for advice. I would definitely take Professor Schultz again if I can!

Professor Schultz is one of the best professors at Baruch. She gives extensive feedback on your work than any professor I've taken before which you can edit and use for future job interviews.

If you want to learn in writing and presentation, her class is the best choice for you. Don't worry if you are non-native speaker, she is there and will help you!

Prof. Schultz was by far the best professor I had while I attended Baruch. She has her student's best interest at heart. Her assignments and readings are spot on to enhance your written and verbal communication skills. Should Prof. Schultz ever decide to teach outside of college for business professionals, I would sign up in a heartbeat.

I loved this class, not because I was trying to major in PR, but because it's been a while since I had a professor who genuinely cared about her students. She is very transparent with her and fair with her grading policy. During Covid learning transition, I was amazed that she tried to actually help students pass during these stressful times.

Prof Schultz is absolutely the best professor I have ever had! She is extremely motivational and knowledgeable and her assignments are useful for the real world. She is very organized and clear with her expectations. Wish I could take her again!

If you want to actually get better at public speaking, choose Heather Schultz. The feedback and confidence she gives her students are amazing. I came in scared but she really made me feel ready for every speech. Participation is super key in this class so do not be afraid to raise your hand at all! Great COM teacher!

I took this course during the Spring 2020 semester, so the first half was in person and the second was online. There is a handful of course work but it is manageable. Professor Schultz truly wants to see her students succeed inside and outside of the classroom. The professor has been accessible whenever I had any questions and is very accommodating

I loved Prof. Schultz's class. She motivates and genuinely cares about her students. Talking to her feels like talking to a close friend. All the reading materials for the course opens up your mind to new perspectives about life. Her syllabus is well-organized hard to miss an assignment unless... Too bad that a winter session is too short.

she's amazing

She is the best communications professor at Baruch. I recommend taking her because she is caring and understanding. Her work is reasonable and doable, especially for the winter session. Not many professors will teach you how to be a professional business person, but she will teach you about writing memos, resumes, elevator pitches, etc.

She is one of the best professors I've ever had at Baruch! Take her if you can! She actually cares about her students. I can't say enough great things about her. You will have to work for your grade but if you follow all the grading criteria you should be fine. She gives great feedback and is always trying to help and inspire her students.

She's so caring and understanding. Just abide by deadlines and do the work, which includes readings with a discussion post on it every week, unless it's a speech week. There are 3 speeches where you choose your own topic, and one is a group speech. Just plan well and follow the speaking tips from readings and you're good.

Professor Schultz is the best professor, and I mean it! I actually took two of her classes this semester, COM 3150 and COM 4005, because she definitely teaches work that you will use in the future. Out of all of the professors that I have had, she has given the most thorough feedback on my assignments. Highly recommend 10/10, you won't regret it!

She's the sweetest, most caring professor I've ever had. Very open and honest with her students. Has a very clear grading system and course schedule. You have to buy an online textbook and two print ones, but you mainly use the online one. Lots of homework, but it's all super easy. Two writing assignments, one big group project. Please take her!

Professor Schultz is a great professor, she puts us into breakout rooms but only for a short amount of time which isn't hard or anything. I enjoyed the class. Not a boring class and I learned a lot. Had 2-3 video projects and discussion board posts but that's about it.

Honestly great professor. I took her class first semester of freshman year and I had a lot of fun. She really shows that she cares and if you ever need any help she will be there.

A really great professor selfless with her time and will help you if you need help really understanding or personal issues

Professor Schultz Gittens is a great professor! she can be a tough grader, but she provides excellent feedback for improvement. She is one of the few professors at Baruch that cares about their student's success. The grading criteria are very clear, so there are no surprises about your final grade. If you have the chance, please take her!

One of the best Professors I've ever taken would love to take any courses with this professor in the future. Her experience and lectures are awesome, and she's an even better person.

Words can't describe of how amazing she is. Be ready to read a lot, complete your homework and group work and classwork on time , participate , communication is needed.

Prof. Shultz Gittens is just a fantastic and inspirational professor. She wants you to do well and is very supportive, so if you don't, that's your own fault. There is a fair amount of reading required, but necessary as it will help you in completing your assignments and group project. Be sure to participate, put in the work, and have fun!

Professor Gittens is exceptionally caring and amazing! She truly wants the best for all her students. She is also extremely organized. She gives excellent feedback that helps you improve. She is an open professor which helps make every student comfortable in her class.

Professor Schultz Gittens is an amazing professor. She is well organized when it comes to her lessons and how she presents herself. She is truly passionate with her work and wants the best for her students.

Grades like youre in undergrad and gives feedback like youre a PhD student, really helped me get better with my business writing, clear and communicates constantly. A caring gem

She made the effots to make everything organized and she gave great feedback. This is not an easy A course so you gotta work hard for the A. The course itself is very practical so make sure you make the best of it!

This professor is WONDERFUL. Professor Schultz Gittens cares deeply about her students learning and growth. My work schedule didnt allow me to give this class the attention it deserved, but she cared about my growth, not my ability to conform. Prof worked with me to help me get the value from the class in a way that worked with my bandwidth.

Great Professor. Take her class.

The class is very intense don't get me wrong. But Professor Gittens is of the best quality when in comes to what you would desire in a teacher and mentor. The class I was a part of was usually a public speech every week with some break and time to refine what you will present. I finished the class way more comfortable then when I started. 10/10

I recommend every Baruch student to take one class with Professor Schultz Gittens at least! She cares not only for your academic success but for your overall well-being and growth as an individual. Her grading criteria are clear and concise, she provides excellent feedback, and you'll learn a lot of valuable information in her class. She's amazing!

Professor Gittens is very kind and caring. She is a very wholesome person and genuinely cares about her students. But, I feel like she takes teaching way too seriously. Perhaps, this is her way of showing that she cares. An entry level communications course should not be more strict and have higher expectations than my upper-level courses.

Easily one of the best at Baruch. If you are a quiet/shy student then her style of teaching may intimidate you but I still advise taking Professor Gittens. Extremely passionate and caring, none of her course content is wasted, a majority of it nurtures real-life application of skills. Strongly recommend, would take this course again if I could.

Professor Gittens is very inspirational and well-rounded; she was fair and unequivocal about what needed to be done. She teaches with inspiration and with real experiences, and all she wants you to do is succeed in this world. I thank her for all she has taught me about what businesses look for in a potential candidate.

Professor Heather Schultz-Gittens cares about how her students perform in her class from mental availability to educational obligations. If your aim to succeed inside and outside of the class she is the best option.

If you want to become a better speaker and/or writer def take this class with Prof Gittens. The best feedback and most caring prof at Baruch. It isn't an easy A but you can walk away with one and some new skills!

Please please PLEASE do yourself a favor and take Professor Heather if you get the chance. She's inspirational, caring, understanding and her course was eye-opening. She really wants to see us become successful and provides the best development, mentoring and networking in Baruch. Professor Heather really deserves all the love that she got from us.

Professor Gittens is top notch! She is very knowledgeable about what needs to be done to communicate effectively for business. She genuinely cares about students development and growth. The coursework can be practically applied and is relevant. Inspiring instructor that will make you better personally and professionally. Highly Recommeded!

Love her Job and the student just Amazing person. please take her class you will learn so much

May seem intimidating at first, but highly recommend. Helped me grow a lot, and genuinely cares about her students. A lot better at public speaking now because of her. Workload is very heavy the first half of the semester, but calms down at the end. Taking her again for COM3150. Last semester, 3 people got an A-, and everyone else got an A.

She cares about making sure her students are comfortable. She is very strict with deadlines and participation. Read the articles, submit everything on time and ask whatever questions you have, she will answer them.

I can not express enough how incredible Professor Gittens was. Without a doubt, she was the most caring professor I had during my time at Baruch. I genuinely looked forward to attending her classes every day and she was a constant source of motivation and encouragement, making a profound impact on my educational journey here at Baruch.

amazing professor

I am no way a professional speaker, and given the 7 week course, I felt like I wasn't ready to take this class. With that being said, she expressed the class assignments clear, with outlines/vids as guidances. And she offer easy extra credits that I ABSOLUTELY MISSED out on. She ensure us it is okay to be nervous, as long as you practice. Take Her.

Have to put in effort to get a good grade but she offers lots of resources and support.

Exceptional educator. She truly cares about her students and their educational growth.

Professor Gittens is hands down one of my FAVORITE professors. She is the most caring professor. She has such a kind heart. Easy to speak to when enduring a problem. Very nice in general. She has allowed me to love SpeechCOM to a point where I wanted to take the class for the semesters coming forward. TAKE HER CLASS!

Professor Gittens is truly a treasure. Not only is she a great professor but also an amazing human being. Even though the class semester was short (6 weeks) she made sure she got to know every student. The coursework is extensive however she does offer plenty of extra credit opportunities and guidance. Just be communicative and do your work!!

No doubts—take her class! I had her for both COM2020 + 3021 (A's in both). She offers tons of extra credit opportunities, like visiting the writing center or reading a poem in class. She truly cares about her students' growth and makes the class enjoyable and rewarding. She gives out Amazon gift cards for the best speeches based on class votes!

Professor Gittens is really someone who cares about her students. She gives great feedback and is a thorough grader. Put in some effort, and you will be fine. Weekly homework, attendance is mandatory, participation is required (peer reviews, presentations etc...). She is here to guide you to be a better version of yourself, take her class!!

I took this in the fall (2024). Good professor. Gives out A LOT of extra credits. 4 speeches, no group speeches (my class was small). Has recorded lectures and readings (I never read and she never asked). Do small speeches/talking exercises in class. Before a speech, we do some relaxing exercises. Need to wear business casual attire when speech.

One of the best professors I had this semester. She is very passionate about public speaking and demonstrates this through exciting lectures and creative speech assignments. She created such a comfortable atmosphere in the class, and even if you're somebody who has fear of public speaking, it will be minimized. Very nice, friendly and respectful.

TAKE HER, YOU WON'T REGRET IT Took the honors class; it was a great fast paced class. Prof was very caring to her students and did meditations and +affirmations before our speeches which relaxed our mind. She also gives a lot of chances for extra credit, so don't slack on that. Come to class on time and do your work and it'll be easy.

She is so professional and really take care of students. Heather is so clear with everything from the beginning and if you are responsable and want to learn she is perfect.

Professor Gittens is very easygoing and, in my opinion, grades very leniently and also provides an abundance of extra credit opportunities. Solid A in her class as long as you do two things: submit assignments ON TIME and make sure you're ON TIME for class. I would definitely take her again, but I didn't realize she also teaches COM 3120!

Professor Gittens is an amazing instructor who genuinely cares about student success. The coursework is relevant and can be applied in real life. Unstuckstudy was a helpful study tool alongside the textbook. Highly recommended!

This is one of the only professors I've encountered that shows care for her students. If there are any concerns when it comes to either extensions, feedback, she is always happy to address those things with you. Even if you want to network and need help with career plans, she will go out of her way to help you out. She's an Amazing Professor.

Genuinely one of the best professors I've ever taken at Baruch. Extremely caring towards the growth of her students and genuinely helped so many including myself to feel safe in presenting in front of others. Take her if you can!!!

She is a kind professor, especially when it comes to grading. Her rubrics are very clear, and she offers two extra credit assignments. She also has us do exercises before our speeches, such as meditation, yoga, singing, and the ELMO dance. You will do the ELMO dance eight times—be prepared. Good luck!

Shes the goat, i sucked at speeces, looked at my cards and still somehow got an A. Just do your best, attend clas,s and you'll manage.

Genuinely one of the best and caring professors I've ever taken at Baruch. It's clear that she genuinely wants her students to succeed and grow throughout class.She's very clear about her expectations, the rules are straightforward and fair. Get to class ON TIME,besides that if you attend, put in effort, and use the experience to grow, you'll pass.

Easily one of the best professors at Baruch. Learned skills I use to this day. Class is not super rigorous or at all unreasonable. Professor has a lot of valuable experience as well. Was enjoyable, follow simple instructions and you will do great.

Ms. Gitten is very professional. She truly cares about her students, and she is flexible, organized, and clear with her program. She explains everything in a way that is easy to understand. She is an excellent professor.

Take this class if you want: - to make at least one friend - a professor with professional experience in the industry - hear from guest speakers - leave with value Don't take the class if you don't like - to attend class - talk to other students Professor Gittens is very professional and is willing to help her students with ANYTHING !
