This professor made public speaking amazing! I was afraid to talk in front of people but she made the semester bearable. Would defiantly recommend for students who don't like public speaking. There are three major presentations, and a couple of mini talks, but its very clear what she wants from her students! Great professor

Wouldn't take again

Don't take the class if you want to learn at a college level. Professor Bennett is nice and all, but she teaches and treats the class like a bunch of fifth graders. Her lectures are common sense.
