I thought interpersonal communication would include more class discussions. I wish the Group assignment wasn't the big assignment for the semester. Sometimes group members can't be trusted. Cultural artifact assignment was interesting but did not find it relative to the course. The interviews were the best assignment of all! WOULD RECOMMEND

Fav. Teacher

very nice teacher, knows her stuff . Come to class prepared everyday

Ms. Young is a very qualified instructor. She knows her material, but is not very diplomatic in her interactions with students. She is a no excuse gal!She either likes or dislikes you, there's no in between. In communications she requires five speeches, a midterm and several written assignments. Overall I enjoyed her class.

I'm always scared going into her class. I don't like her at all. She plays favorites. Not a great teacher.

I found her to be a very good teacher. but she's strict about getting your work in. if you do the assignments and actually put some thought into your speeches you'll be fine. she made the class interesting and gave us a lot of freedom for our speech topics which was great. don't take her if your lazy, but if your serious i definately recomend her.

She's a good instructor. I don't know what the rest of the people talking about. As long as you do work and pay attention, you'll be fine.

she be cool but makes this class way harder than it should be. take another comm instructor. this should be one of the easier subjects not one you have to stress over and put in tons of time and effort. and that's exactly what will happen if you take her

she is a very tough grader and there is a lot of work required but besides that she is an excellent teacher makes the subject fun! and uses great examples to make things clear! if you do your work pay attention and read u will be just fine!

You will have to do a lot of work in her classes, but you will learn a lot. I think she is a great teacher that makes the subject interesting, will bring you out of your shell, and drill the material into you.

She knows her stuff on communications, but this class was very demanding, if comm is not your major and just taking to transfer, beware to put most of your time in this class. She is scary and strict, but she also like to have fun with the class at times. Lots of notes, reading, quizzes, and time out of class to do group project witch sucked...

i took her class during summer school. i learned alot and i really enjoyed her class and her stories. i think she is an great teacher. take her youll learn alot about yourself

If you are someone that procrastinates then do not take this class. She is a strict grader and requires a lot of work. However, if you take the time to do the work and do it well the way she wants it, you will be fine. She also always has her office hours available. Take advantage of her office hours she will help you, unlike other teachers.

Overall Mrs. Young is a good instructor, although she is a strict grader, very picky, and does indeed have her favorites. I deserved a better grade than what I got. participation is a must. funny stories

Mrs. Young-Alexander is a great teacher! Very funny & includes very helpful stories during lectures that clarify the information being taught. Loved Comm 05 & highly recommend it anyone who is needing a comm class to transfer/for their major.

Mrs. Young was one of the most interesting teachers I ever had. . She relates a lot of everyday issues to her lectures. I wasn't excited about taking this class but now I am glad I did. Make sure that you clarity exactly what to do on the assignments though because if you assume then you may do it incorrectly. Loved this class !!

Professor Young is an amazing professor and brings so much energy. You can tell she loves her job and is great to be around. Lots of work but she will help you however she can to make sure you do good in her class. I was terrified of public speaking but by the end of the semester I had it down with Professor Young's help.

Class wasn't too difficult, but a little too much work for a communication course.

Ms. Young assigns a lot of research in her speeches and that class (comm 01) requires a lot of time. People who do not put in the time will not pass and will whining about her grading criteria. Her lectures might confuse one but ask her for help and she will ones homework assignment. People who are lazy wont pass her class. ALWAYS COME PREPARED.

Sure she's really strict and intimidating but the enthusiasm she shows during lectures makes up for that. There was not one lecture where she didn't have the class laughing at the stories she tells. She keeps lectures genuinely interesting. But she does demand respect from all students so don't feel too comfortable. Overall she's a great professor.

Ms. Young is hilarious. She is very passionate about her subject and teaches in a way that will help you relate the textbook to real life. I took a 3 week summer session and although it was a lot of work, it wasn't necessarily difficult. She expects you to be an adult and earn your grade. Pay attention to the lectures and you'll be fine.

Ms. Young may come off as intimidating, especially during the first week of class. But once you get to know her better she's not that bad. She's a very detail-oriented person. She makes boring lectures interesting, and wants students to engage. There are two group projects, including the final. I'd definitely take her again!

I thought Janee was an awesome professor! COMM 01 was difficult, but she gave us the confidence to speak out in class and now I could totally write and give an epic speech! She's an awesome speaker herself and her lectures are very dynamic. There were hardly any tests but three big speeches we had to give: historical, pro-con, and persuasive.

Professor Young was great! Not only is she very passionate about teaching but she shapes you up to be a better student. You will understand that hard work pays off. Once we all transfer and become juniors, no one will be holding our hand. Take her class! She's awesome.

Mrs. Young is an amazing teacher, this class is not for people who put things off to the side. Procrastination is the biggest grade killer here. This is a very rewarding class if you put in effort as it will stick with you after you are done.

Ms. Young is so enthusiast & her lectures will definitely not bore you. She may seem a little intimidating the first week, but once you get to know her you get more of an understanding of her. She is hilarious & doesnt like cussing. Participate & there will be no quizzes on Chapter readings, if no one talks about chapters shell quiz the class.

Honestly, Ms. Young is a cool professor. She definitely makes you work for your grade. If youre a lazy student, this class is not for you. A lot of time outside of class is required. Test are honestly hard because her lectures do contain a lot of information, and she does not give study guides. This class definitely shaped me as a student.

Ive never worked so hard for a B in my life. This class requires ALOT from a student. If you dont have time, you may suffer in this class. Its heavy lectures you take a personal & group exam every exam day. I wont miss these assignments at all. If youre looking for an easy Comm class this class isnt it.

Ms. Young is an awesome professor! You will learn so much in this class. She will help you feel and be more confident about public speaking. She gives constructive critiques on your speech presentation. Her lectures are very informative, lively, and interesting. If you really want to learn how to give great speeches, take this class.

Professor Young is one of the best professors Ive taken, she has amazing lectures that make it easier for you to want to attend class. Participating in the lectures is also important. She can be laid back on grading as long as you follow instructions and deadlines. Would definitely take her again.

Professor Young knows how to connect with her students and her lectures are very fun. She makes teaching look very motivating.

An amazing professor, truly one of those professors that will leave a mark on you. Truly inspirational.

Professor Young was a pleasure to have. She is fun, dynamic, and very personal with her students. Joining live class lectures was always enjoyable! There is a lot of reading involved, and she is very firm on deadlines. However, she is always willing to work with students if they are struggling. Would definitely take again.

I took this class during Summer 2022, and I would definitely take it again. One of the best teachers I've had.

Her lectures and class discussions are entertaining. Be prepared for some debates because she'll play the devils advocate. Hw is pretty easy as long as you remeber to do it. She includes big group projects as well. only downsied is that she doesnt grade everything right away.

Love her so much, but she is not for everyone as she is strict, loud, and waits on grading. Those who worry about grading should not take this professor as she takes her time grading, and dates are not updated.

Knows what she doing even if she seems like a mess at first. She does have tough grading when it comes to speeches. Easy to contact, and can make lectures fun. Does require you to get ahold of a device to be able to do homework and quizzes.

I loved her pace and the way she communicated with students. She's very charismatic and straight forward. Part of the grade is online textbook which has assignments on there if you keep up with them you'll get a good grade in that part but I kept procrastinating. The biggest part of the grade is the in person speeches.

Young was an amazing professor expect to do a lot of writing and speeches in this class but it really does help. During speeches she will give you amazing feedback and she is very clear on how to do outlines.

Although there were many group projects and lots of writing assignments, she's a very funny professor and makes lecture fun at first, I was scared going into her class because of the ratings I saw about her, but everyone has different experiences and for me it was my favorite class I really hated presenting, but this class made me enjoy.

Yes attendance is mandatory. Yes you WILL be researching a lot. And yes she is a tough grader however she is amazing and very knowledgeable in what she does. This is a college level class. If you want to feel fulfilled and want to feel proud of your work and go far. You come here. I loved the class and everyone who was there in the end did too.

Took her in 2022, amazing professor. Would take her again if I could. From what I remember, she was pretty hilarious at times. There were writing assignments, as well as a group project.

She is great, but she doesn't play. She expects you to be responsible in all aspects and her course is definitely college level. But she is more than a teacher. She teaches life lessons and that class honestly felt like family. It was a learning experience but overall a good one. Do your work on time, go to class, ask questions. All you need to do.
