Awesome lady. I learned a lot, but there wasn't a ton of outside work and she was a pretty easy grader. As long as you did stuff you got an A. I would highly recommend her.
Heike Flood is by far the most amazing and genuine person that I have ever had the oportunity to meet. Taking her class was a blessing. She understands students at the college level and knows how we are. She has great expectations for her students, but she grades and critiques based on individual development. I wish all teachers could be as good.
The best professor that I have had in my college career, I actually enjoyed going to her class.
She was a wonderful professor, probably my favorite so far at LaCrosse. She uses real life examples that are actually interesting while teaching. Not to mention so was always there to help and was so understanding to the fact you have other things to do too.
She was a really nice teacher. The class was easy and she was helpful. Easy grader. Keeps class interesting.
She's amazing! She makes the class really interesting and fun and she'll help you with any problems you are having, whether they are related to class or just personal.
Heike is such a sweetheart. Even for people who don't like giving speeches, this is a fun class. The only downfall I could think of is the class being on the fourth floor of the center of the arts building. Loved the class AND the teacher!
Heike is by far the best professor I have had at La Crosse. I hate giving speeches, but I rarely got nervous to give a speech in her class. I would highly suggest taking her class!!!!
Coolest/Best Teacher on Campus. 'nuff said
Very friendly
She is an amazing instructor. You will be fortunate to be in her class.
best speech teacher ever! very understanding, i hate giving speeches, but she made it fun. if you do everything she asks its an easy A
Love her, she is the best teacher ever and i looked forward to going to her class. Made giving speeches fun and you learn quite a bit. The stairs are a pain but worth it. I wish she taught another class thats how great she is. Plus she has awesome shoes :)
My favorite teacher so far at UW-L! She manages to make everyone feel comfortable speaking in front of a group and advises us to "leave judgement at the door" I learned so much from her. Take this professor!
I had Ms. Flood for Public Oral Communication aka speech. She was my favorite teacher so far. She makes a topic that most people dread, very bareable. We had 4 speeches, 1 of which was a group speech. It was pretty easy, requiring little effort. The reading isn't really necessary, the powerpoints cover most of it. I actually enjoyed the class!!
Ms. Flood is great. It is easy to relate to her and she makes you feel comfortable speaking in front of others. Not to mention she's good looking and energetic. Take her if possible.
Love love love her! Really cool, relatable, and entertaining. I learned a lot more than I figured I would with her so that's a plus. Do it!
One of my favorite teachers. You can tell she is very passionate about her job. HIGHLY suggest her!!
absolutely amazing. heike flood is one of my favorite professors. she makes class very fun and is open to hearing your ideas and wants you to speak about what you are passionate about. i highly recommend taking her, speeches are not too difficult and quizzes and tests aren't either.
On the first day of class, she'll tell you that this class is your family. It sounds cliche, but it is absolutely true. She is one of the best teachers I have ever had and I have had some great ones. She makes going to class so fun! You get to pick your speech topics, which is nice. If you're taking CST 110, don't take it with anyone else!
She's the best teacher I have ever had!!!!! Love her so so so much. Take her if you can.
Was VERY apprehensive about this class, Flood makes it fun. She understands students and wants you to do good. She does expect improvement but is a wonderful teacher and very sweet. I would HIGHLY recommend.
Best Teacher Ever. I had her for uwl 100 and knew I needed a override to get in her class and it was worth it. Very fun, and laid back. Very understanding and cares about your education. I hate speaking in front of people but she really helps make it easy for you. midterms arent hard either, just use the study guide. A-class.
VERY VERY NICE, makes speech class easy and not stressful, very few speeches to give and midterm and final are very easy plus final is partner exam. Take if you want an A! If you need any help outside or in class she is the person to ask
Wonderful professor. Made public speaking a lot easier for me. The atmosphere was comfortable and easy-going. I also learned a lot from her. Loved her enthusiasm, friendliness, and care for students.
Heike Flood is awesome! She put things in student's perspective, so it's easier to understand. You can tell she cares for her students A LOT. She makes the classroom very comfortable w/each other so that when ur giving speeches, u won't be so nervous. Overall, class was easy. Barely any assignments. 2 speeches this semester & 2 test.
Best teacher I've had at UWL. I felt like she really cared about her students and their education. She made public speaking a lot easier than I thought it would be.
She is a really nice, fun lady. What I love about her is that she always have an optimistic view on life. I have learned a lot from her own experience! Love her! Btw, her fashion style is adorable!
TAKE HEIKE FLOOD! her class is super easy, super fun. She's really great, really cares about all of her students. Extremely helpful, tells you exactly what she wants for speeches. Two tests, one or two quizes. One speech and a partner presentation. You will be forced to participate but its a lot of fun
Super easy and really fun teacher. You only have to give 1 speech by yourself and 1 with a group. Would definitely recommend over any other speech teacher in the united states.
You never really know what to expect each class time. After the first day I was all like oh i'm going to hate this but it ended up being one of my favorite classes. She is an extremely nice person and it seems as though she really cares for her students, plus she cancels randomly.
Love her!!!!!!!!!!! Helpful, interesting, has an actual passion for students and life in general. Take her whenever you can!
Heike is very friendly and you can tell she really cares about her students. This semester was rough because of personal things going on in her life, so classes got cancelled alot which was really hard for us students. In the end, though, it was a good class.
I absolutely loved Heike! You can tell she has a real passion for her students and for teaching. She is very good at making the class fun and she keeps everything extremely relaxed and laid-back. I would retake her class in heartbeat!
She is the best teacher I've ever had. She's really cool and easy to talk to. If you need any help with other classes she will help you find the resources for your success. Recommended to all UWL students.
TAKE HER. Ms Flood is awesome! Only had to give two speeches and she grades fairly. The tests are easy and she does a lot of fun activities during class.
Ms Flood is AWESOME! If you get a chance to take a class with her, DO IT! Only two speeches: one on your culture and one group speech. Easy quizzes. Final is simple. She's just great. I will definitely take more CST classes with her.
TAKE HER! She's super cool and likes to talk to her students. Only two speeches (one is a group speech). The final we got to take with a partner, and she cancels class a lot! I recommend her :)
She is AWESOME! I would recommend her for any incoming freshmen or a sophomore looking for a fun speech class!
great teacher... makes the class interesting and keeps your attention
Heike is the best! She cares about her students, and really wants to make Comm110 the most useful class you will ever take. Class is always interesting and fun! She is also very approachable. Only had to give 2 speeches. One of my favorite classes and professors. Great teacher; she really made a difference in my life! (Bonus: she gives out candy!)
Heike is awesome! She is an easy grader, extends due dates, and the note taking is minimum. For my class we only had to give one speech by ourselves and the other two were in groups. So if you are terrified of public speaking I highly recommend taking her!
Hands down the best professor I've had at UWL. She cares about her students and she also wants to make the class fun. She is open to suggestions about what you want out of the class and will actually take it into consideration. You need to do the work of the class, but she is an easy, fair grader. Absolutely love her.
This was actually one of my favorite classes this semester. The speeches (3) are not bad. The quizzes are easy if you go to lecture, participate in the activities and skim the chapters she assigns. She is the sweetest professor and care a lot about her students. So glad I took this general ed course with her.
Really good professor, cares about her students a lot! The speeches and quizzes are all relatively easy if you show up for class. She's kind of a scatter brain and is terrible with technology so she takes way to long to grade things. I'd still recommend taking her though, she's a fun teacher.
She is hands down my favorite professor. She keeps class easy and fun and she loves to relate to her students. She only gives out three easy quizzes and the third one is counted as the final exam. Also, there are only three speeches and only one is individual. I definitely recommend her!
She is greatttttt!!! And easy grader! Nice lady, cares about all her students! ! Take her!
Heike is a nice lady, but a little over the top sometimes. She makes the class easy enough, but not tremendously easy. You still have to earn your grade. Overall though, nice teacher. I would recommend.
Dr. Hunter is a wonderful professor but is also like a mother to her students. You can tell she really cares about her students' success and tries to help in any way she can. The speeches (3) are not incredibly difficult and the quizzes just require reading the book. Overall the class is a lot of fun and I would definitely suggest Dr. Hunter!
I love Heike! She is amazing. She sets you up to succeed. She is always there for you if you need help on a quizspeech. Heike teaches you as if you are equals and also gets to know you. I had 3 speeches. 1 Informative, 1 Group and 1 Persuasive. She gave us plenty of time to complete these and will work with you if you fail to complete it on time.
Other reviews under her maiden name- Heike Flood. Very fun and down to earth teacher!! Loved coming to class and I learned a lot. much more comfortable with public speaking now. You have to put effort in, but it's a very good class.
Pros: Fun Understanding Nice Cons: Terrible textbook, fulled with pseudo-scientific nonsense Have to stick to her speech format or lose points Forces you to do a "random" act of kindness for a grade
Really funny. Treats you like a human and not just another student on her roll.
Best teacher I have had at UW-La Crosse. Yes this is a speech class and I was dreading it but not after the first day when I met Heike. She literally gives you lessons about life and is like a mother. It doesn't even feel like you are in speech class and I am definitely way more comfortable talking in front of people. I would definitely take her.
She is the most caring professor I've had at UW-L so far. She encourages coming in to her office hours just to chat. Definitely a great speech professor, makes you feel very comfortable with public speaking. Would highly recommend!
I can't pick enough tags to describe Heike! I loved her and her class! She made us all feel like family. She gave great feedback, made lectures fun, and I even enjoyed the speeches. Honestly, she is my favorite professor so far, and I would love to take one of her classes again. I highly recommend her.
Heike is amazing!! Definitely my favorite professor so far. She's a little slow grading but that's not that big of a deal. If you show her respect she'll show it right back. Very fun class, highly recommend.
She's absolutely hilarious not to mention very lovable. On the first day of class she had us all take a class selfie together not to mention taking plenty of individual selfies with students. Her stories were super funny, and she would do whatever it takes to help you if you ask. She's the reason why I changed to a communications major!!
Heike Hunter is such a cool professor; she's so down to earth and fun to listen to! I definitely recommend taking her. You learn the material, but it is super easy with the way she teaches.
Hunter is so amazing. she makes speech class seem like a breeze. i wouldn't have wanted to take it with anyone else!! i love her. she's the best cst teacher there is! she makes class funny too!!
She's super nice and easy to talk to, but she is not helpful when it comes to knowing what to do for speeches. The criteria is super unclear and she doesn't know how to help you if you're struggling. However, not a tough grader for when you do give speeches.
Amazing woman, funny lectures, makes speech class fun
If you are lucky enough to not have class cancelled, (we have had as many cancellations as classes at this rate.) She teaches the class in a very loose way, and when the class is unresponsive or not raising their hands she takes it as a personal offense. She teaches a low level gen ed course, and thats the effort you get.
She makes you feel comfortable and welcomed in class. She also has a really outgoing attitude which makes it very easy to talk to her as well as in front of the class.
She is SO helpful and made a class that i would usually dread so much fun!!! She cracks a lot of jokes and relates the lectures to the students well. She was one of my favorite teachers. 3 speeches total and one is with a group.
One of my favorite professors
Heike is a great professor. She really cares about her students. She makes it easy for all students to pass. She is super sweet and funny. You only have to give 2 speeches individually in this class and she is an easy grader. She helps you get comfortable with talking in front of the class and changed public speaking for me completely!
Dreaded taking this class but Heike made it a fun and interesting course, there's only three quizzes and three speeches which isn't to bad. Very lenient on grading your speech. As long as you meet the requirements you will get at least a B in the class
One of my favorite profs, amazing person. Not so much learning through lecture and book, but more by just jumping in and doing it then getting feedback. 100% would take again, be sure to participate and visit office hours.
Heike was the best prof. Iv'e had all semester. Even though I was really dreading taking a speech course because of my anxiety, she worked with me and encouraged me through it. She is hilarious and treats you like you matter. I love that her lectures are more of a discussion and she cares about what you are thinking and your views. Take her!
She is very friendly, If you can't make it to class don't worry. As long as you show up on speech day you will do fine. She I very helpful if you need it. She is funny, if your class looks bored she will wrap it up and call it quits early (I took a later class). Grading is not hard! Take her!
Professor Hunter was a wonderful professor. She is super nice and she really cares about her students. She is also very helpful and will do anything to help you succeed. You only have three speeches and she does everything she can to make you feel confident about your speeches. I strongly recommend her.
Heike is one of the nicest and most enjoyable teachers I have ever had, she cares about her students and her field and never fails to make you smile. She explains work well, but can sometimes be a little scatter brained and unorganized. Overall a wonderful teacher.
Very nice prof!!!!!!!
Heike is my favorite UWL professor. She is so spunky and just overall fun to listen to! I was so nervous for speech and after one class spent with her I felt completely comfortable. She really made our class feel like we knew each other forever. Love her! Definitely take this sweet lady!
Really nice lady---even ordered in pizza for class one day.
Amazing
One of my favorite profs, super funny and caring lady. Very flexible and easy going.
Definitely one of my favorite professors! Super funny and understanding. Always has office hours and is willing to help you whenever. Easy to talk to and it's very clear about what she expects of you
The class is made up of 3 speeches. One is informative, one is persuasive, and one is a group presentation for 20 minutes. You don't get a lot of time to work on the speeches but she is a VERY EASY grader. Only 1 midterm test and it's the only time you use the textbook. Fun activities throughout the class and she is extremely nice. HIGHLY recommend
Says that you can only miss up to three classes and is going to take attendance every class, but after like two weeks she stopped taking attendance and I know so many people that missed more than 3 classes and it didn't matter. Final exam was online which was very nice. It was my favorite class because she is such an amazing professor!
Heike was AMAZING!! I wish I could take another class with her. There are 3 speeches, and she doesn't give you much warning after the first one, so be prepared and don't be surprised if a whole speech is due the next week. Super easy grader and super friendly. I highly HIGHLY recommend Heike :)
I was nervous for this class because I do not like public speaking, but she made it very easy. The class was very relaxed and easy going. Had three speeches and no quizzes. The midterm was the only time I used the book and the final was online which was nice.
Heike genuinely cares about each student and will do whatever she can to make sure everyone succeeds! She is the sweetest and knows what she's talking about. Take her if you can, she's great!!!
I have a fear of public speaking, and Heike Hunter (such a fun name to say) provided the tools to make it manageable. I implore you to use the techniques provodied in conjunction with preparation and lots of practice and you'll not only succeed but feel great about your accomplishments. Heike made it one of my fondest memories at UWL.
Heike Hunter is one of my favorite professors ever. She is such a strong mentor & really made me feel like she was there for me, both within the classroom & with anything else I needed. The speeches weren't anything to worry about, but be ready to be able to prepare a whole speech in a little over a week after the first one. I absolutely love her!
Heike is the best professor I have had in my academic career. As someone who hates public speaking, I was terrified of this class but Heike is able to make you extremely comfortable. She has an amazing sense of humor&passion for teaching and watching her students develop. If you have the chance of being fortunate enough to have her, you'll love it!
Hunter is an excellent professor. She is extremely understanding and she truly wants the best for her students. I hate public speaking, but Hunter made it so much better and easier. If you are able to, take Hunter Heike for CST.
I was very nervous about taking a speech class, but Professor Hunter made it so much less stressful for me. There were two individual speeches, as well as one group speech. The final is online too. Professor Hunter really cares about her students and only wants the best for them. Once you get past the first speech, you'll realize it's not so bad.
Heike is fantastic. She is hilarious and makes all of her lectures super interactive. Great feedback on every speech and her requirements were laid out very nicely. Watch out for the midterm and final, you really need to study the textbook (although they were online which helped a lot).
Heike's class was my favorite this semester. Hardest parts are the midterm and final, just read the textbook chapters from the study guide and you'll be fine. Gives opportunities for extra credit often. Class got done early almost every day. Genuinely cares about her students and encourages them to visit in office hours even if it's just to chat.
I loved Dr. Heike. She was super nice and made speech class comfortable. I was really scared for the class but she makes everyone feel like family.
Professor Heike is by far my favorite professor so far. She has such a fun, bubbly personality, and is very intelligent but knows how to explain the material at a beginner level. I would love to have her as my professor every semester
Heike is one of my favorite professors/teachers I've ever had. She's incredibly kind and somehow made me enjoy being in a speech class even though I dreaded it in the beginning. If you need to take a public speaking class, take one with her. There are only two solo speeches and one group speech.
Heike Hunter is one of the best professors I have ever had. She is such a sweetheart and if you show up to class and give your two cents into conversations she will bend over backwards to accommodate you. She is very intelligent at what she does and she made my 4 PM class worth going to.
Prof. Hunter was a pretty good professor and an amazing person. She was disorganized which made the class more difficult, but if you asked about due dates and any questions regarding the work she was willing to help. The class has three speeches, four quizzes, and a final. Study the textbook for the quizzes and final and you'll do fine.
Heike Hunter in an awesome professor and I recommend taking her for speech class!! She is so welcoming, caring, and really wants to get to know each of her students. There's only 3 speeches and 3-4 quizzes. My only complaint is the quizzes were worded tricky and harder than I thought they were going to be so make sure to study for those!
I love Prof Hunter, you could tell that she truly cared about her students. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about her.
Dr. Hunter was so supportive and understanding when it comes to communications and speeches! Her quizzes and tests can be a little difficult, but the rest of the class was quite easy. Highly recommend, if not for the class, for her amazing personality.
Professor hunter was sent from god. Shes amazing at what she teaches and I wish she taught every speech class at LaCrosse. Cant stress how great and caring she is. makes the public speaking so much easier and shes very accommodating to military students!
