Awesome! Fun! Easy! I dreaded taking public speaking but she made it fun. She lets you play games in class to break the ice. I would reccomend any one. You get brownie points for being a Dallas Cowboy fan

She is way cool, I actually look forward to her class. Lectures are interesting, projects are fun.
She is FREAKIN' AMAZING!!! I was not looking forward to public speaking, but this class was so much fun. I got a 100% on all my speechs and you should too if you follow her guides exactly. Fun class and GREAT teacher.
WOW! I haven't had such an awesome teacher for a long time. At first, I was not a bit interested in taking Speech 106 but it was a gen. ed class I needed; I TOTALLY recommend her. By the middle of the semester I looked forward to her class.
THIS WOMAN IS FREAKIN HILARIOUS!!! This was a very fun and easy class. She was very leniant about the topics we chose. Very smart lady, spunky, funny, and very clear about what she expected. Doesn't get any easier than that. Highly recommend her!
MAKES YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE!
Wonderful instructor!!! She makes you feel comfortable in class. She has fun, lots of participation in class and interesting subjects discussed in class. I love coming to this class. If anyone wants to take a communication class,it is the greatest class I have taken here.
By far my favorite teacher!!! She made me love school and love coming to class. She is very honest and extremely helpful. Her class is very interesting and the lessons you learn are easy and helpful to apply to real life. Would definately recommend and would LOVE to take another class of hers!!! She is AWESOME:-)
She is an excellent teacher. I was able to use what I learned in her class when I gave my speech at my cousin's wedding. She was very funny, she got to know her students. I will carry what I learned in this class with me to the university. If you can get this class take it, but I worn you there were 30 people trying to add the first day.
She is a great teacher and really know the material. VERY ACTIVE.
By far one of the best teachers I've had. She is definitely a great teacher who really knows her material. She relates to her students and makes class time energetic which is key to paying attention. Never a dull moment. I definitely would recommend her to anybody regardless of whether you like speech or are just simply taking it for a requirement!
MRS FOWLIE IS THE BOMB! GREAT AWESOME FUN ENERGETIC INTERESTING REMARKABLE PROFESSOR I LOVE HER CLASSES!!
She is the best teacher Ive ever had at VVC. She is very easy, helpful, and has a ton of energy. Barley any homework but her lectures are important. Best thing about her, she love racing :)
Great Teacher, no homework, and test are based on her lecture notes and she has them all online.
AMAZING! Best professor ever!... ALSO HOT HOT HOT!!!!!
I LOVE MRS.FOWLIE SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER AT VVC. ALL U OTHER TEACHERS WHO ARE NOT LIKE HER YOU BETTER SIT IN HER CLASS AND LEARN TO BE....TAKE HER SHE'S WONDERFUL
This is the second course in which I took and she was awesome(Cmst.105 & 106). Very easy going person and talks her head off. The class was easy, you just show up, sit there and listen and you will pass. The only thing that I recommend to her is that she talks a bit less and lets the students interact more(If your really trying to better your comm.
A pretty good proff. Though, i can see a little bit of her politics shine through which bugs me..but if your a republican you probably wont notice..other than that she was pretty rad
Great Teacher, No homework, a lot of digression but it's not the boring kind of digression, she's an amazing teacher I definitely recommend to whoever wants to take public speech or interpersonal communications
Best teacher I have had at VVC! I love her & I love her class.She is so entertaining & she makes her class really fun & it goes by super fast.Its easy not b/c there is no work to do, but that she makes the work fun & easy b/c the class is so interesting. The tests are based off of lecture notes that she also post on blackboard. Definitely take her!
Shes an amazing teacher and a well rounded person in general! Takes time off her schedule to help you and assist you in any possible way she can. Shes always clear on what she wants and if you don't understand she will clarify.. Shes funny and always talks about random relevant stuff. Her class is easy if you put in the time and effort.
Jennifer is really nice. She extremely upbeat but very informative. She uses her personal life in reference to the text, which I enjoyed. This class is easy and I took the 6 week summer course. She is really sweet and likes when people interact. Expect to do some talking in the class.
One of the best Communication instructors I've had on campus. Made the class and I laugh every lecture, great personality. I took it during the summer, 4 days a week, for 6 weeks was awesome. Don't need the book. This is my major and I truly learned a lot. Thank you Jennifer, for an awesome semester!
lOVED taking her class, super easy and really fun. Fowlie has a great personality and its very entertaining to watch her teach. she will be my only cmst teacher till I graduate.
OMG you love this teacher instantly. She is beyond entertaining and she can talk and talk like nobody's business. It's awesome. Take the notes, give feedback and review what's on the study guides for the midterm and final. This was a great experience. I absolutely loved it, a good 6 weeks for a summer course. Just be sure to read the book!
Mrs. Fowlie is an awesome teacher I took her for Com. 108 during the summer and Com. 109 during the fall. She is a straight forward teacher and will help her student succeed if you ask for help During the summer I didn't have to come to the communication center but during the fall I did. She a funny teacher and like hers students participating.
She is such an inspiration to me! Despite all of the disrespectful and down right rude students in her class, she still walked in with her chin up high ready to teach the rest of us who actually cared to come to class. She is one of the best teachers I've had at VVC and I would recommend her class to anyone! Shes the absolute best comm teacher ever
She is funny, makes learning enjoyable and has clear expectations. Overall, the class is not hard and there's plenty of notes to take so it is best not to miss class. She is kind and there for her students.
I'm sitting her class right now and if she reads this will probably Remember me bringing this website up!!!! She's amazing!!!!!! Show up, do the work, listen! A!!!+
She is a great and wonderful teacher, I used to be scared of taking in front of the class before her class. She will help and teach you tequhniques to overcome that fear and always listens. She is very nice and always clear, hardly gives homework and is always a joy to be a round. Highly recommended for those who want to be better public speakers.
If you don't enjoy school like me, Mrs Fowlie is the professor that makes you enjoy learning. Her personality lights up the room (yes I'm a male) and I smile right away when she starts her lectures. I love her style of teaching. Unlike many other professors she keeps it simple. I would recommend her to anyone. And boy... Mr Fowlie is a lucky man!
Mrs. Fowlie is very organized. She gives graded speech assignments the next class. Grading is very clear and specific. Fun class.
Professor Fowlie, is great. She also makes you feel welcome in the class. If your having a bad week she'll make you feel better with her quick whit personality. She cares about her students. This is a great class if you want to learn about different cultures besides the United Stated. Go Professor Fowlie! Thank you Professor Fowlie I learned a lot!
Loved her from the beginning, lectures are full of spirit and enthusiasm. Sometimes she would have a bit of attitude, but that happens to the best of us. Great teacher!
Professore Fowlie is really sweet and i would really recomender her for any of my friends! She's loud (in a good way) and she loves to speak her mind!
I loved her. She makes lectures so entertaining and able to understand. Definitely taking her again. Expect a group project, a few film responses, interview project, midterm & final. Don't miss class or you might get behind, I didn't buy the textbook and didn't need it.
Public speaking is already scary, she makes it fun! Had a lot of laughs in this class. If you show up everyday you don't have to take final. I didn't buy textbook, didn't need it. Using the Communication Center is a must! ( it helps too). Definitely taking her again.
Fowlie makes the class environment feel welcoming with her funny true stories and her humor. As long as you do the speeches you'll pass and if you go to every class meeting you won't have to take the final!
Throughout the whole semester she made class enjoyable with her facetious stories. You can tell she loves her job, and it reflects in her teaching. Not only does she teach you about the content of the course, she also teaches you life lessons that you will use for the rest of your life. Pleasure to have had her as a teacher.
She is a great teacher with a lot of energy. Her lectures are great just do not take pictures of them. She does not like if you skip class. Do the work and you will pass.
Professor Fowlie is amazing! I recommend taking her! She's very energetic and keeps you interested during lectures. Just make sure to show up to class because it is worth points. Be ready for movie responses, discussion board, group project, interview project, midterm & final. If you pay attention to her lectures/take notes, you can pass the class.
Professor Fowlie is a indescribable professor she is by far the greatest nicest funniest person I have ever met I genuinely loved her class I never had so much fun in a class before I will be taking her in fall for 105 then 109 and 108 she is the definition of being a legit professor.
Professor Fowlie was awesome! She genuinely cares about her students. She makes the class fun, we laughed and even had a few tears but she is a really moving professor. She knows each student by name which most professors can't remember you even taking there class twice. She is an inspiration and worth taking. Thank you Professor Fowlie.
Jennifer is one of the best professors ever shes understanding , organized and funny she truly makes learning fun. I've taken her class twice different courses ill definitely take her again. You also learn a lot this class will benefit you for the rest of your life i highly recommend it her lectures aren't boring. i love her shes amazing!
She is a good teacher but very rude with an attitude, you ask her something and she immediately gives you an attitude, and walks out of class.
Her public speaking class is amazing! She really cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She gives clear grading criteria, and if you follow her outline it's easy. I never thought I would ever be good at public speaking but because of Ms. Fowlie I actually am; I participated in a speech contest and because of her help I won. Take her!!!
She was a good teacher and her lectures were hilarious. They were extremely fun to listen to even though she is a little rude sometimes.
I took her for public speaking and her class was extremely easy. if you show up everyday you do not have to take her final and overall we only presented 4 times and her class was fun. she made me feel comfortable every time I presented.
1 midterm, 1 final, 1 essay (3pgs), 3 online discussion boards, 1 group project, 3 film responses. Notes each class meeting. You don't have to buy the textbook.
She is a wonderful professor I highly recommend her to anyone she is a joy to have
She was an amazing teacher! I wasn't good at public speaking but she gave me the confidence that I now have. Her grading criteria is easy to follow and she is willing to help you out. She gave extra credit to watch the public speaking contest. I would highly recommend her class!
Mrs. Fowlie is honestly one of the best teachers I have ever had and I am not just saying that. I would recommend her for anyone.
She has a lot to say and it is quite interesting. I did like her class, we had a group project that allows you to get to know the other students. You don't need the book and be prepared to participate in her class. If you do, she gives you the study guide for the midterm and final. Just do all your work and you'll pass.
Professor Fowlie gives a great class and her assignments are just difficult enough. Her assignments are clear and easy to do. I enjoyed her class and others will also. Fowlie is koo
Professor Fowlie was by far my favorite of the semester. She is engaging, and she does her best to help you, but you as a student need to show that you're willing to put some effort into the class. Engage in the class conversations, she enjoys hearing your opinion. She's also very open minded so she won't shut you down for a particular belief.
I absolutely loved her class! She creates such an amazing environment for the students and has so many examples to bring to the table.
I took CMST 105 during the summer and thought that Professor Fowlie was one of the best I have ever had. Certainly the best communication professor I've had. I will be taking CMST 109 this fall and am really looking forward to it. Professor Fowlie gives great lecture and attendance is a must. Didn't need the textbook. Great study guides for midterm and final. Had two film responses, 3 discussion boards, interview and group projects, midterm and final. Participation is a must. Love her!!!!
i love her best teacher i have ever had.
Participation matters in her class. Be ready to discuss topics outside of your comfort zone. If you participate you will get A, if you do not you will get a B. She watches who participates or not, so you can't be shy and not talk at all in the class and expect to get an A by getting 100 in the exams. Overall, she is amazing and hilarious.
Get ready to discuss out of your comfort zone with this Professor. She is a funny well respected person. She explains what she wants and how she wants it done very well. I would take her again!
Absolutely amazing such a great class
Mrs. Fowlie is an exellcent professor. Gives outstanding lectures, and always makes the class laugh.
This was the second class I've taken with Ms. Fowlie. She's a great teacher. She helped me realize that I was good at public speaking. She encouraged me to stick to it and to use my voice. I took this class for fun, but it honestly has helped me a lot. I've become more confident in presenting and just all around.
This was the first class I've taken with Ms. Fowlie. It was pretty easy, but you do have to put the work in. Show up for class and on time. Ms. Fowlie is not the one to be messed with. She will put you in check real quick. She was a great teacher and taught me a lot about communicating with others. At the end we had a group project which was fun.
This was the third class I have taken with Ms. Fowlie. She's a great teacher. This class shed light on mass media and she really opened up our eyes to how the media influences our generation. This class taught me to always read between the lies and to not always believe what we see/read.
I was Petrified about coming back to school. I'm sure Mrs. Folwie saw that. You have questions she will answer them. You do have to do some work and show up. Also she does like it when you participate. Also make sure your not on your cellphone to much. She will call you out. If you can take her class. She makes it fun.
Professor Fowlie is such a great Professor. Ive taken her for two courses and I received an A in both courses. Professor Fowlie is uplifting, she likes participation, shes caring and understanding but she can sense false info so come correct. I highly recommend taking her course. I took both courses on campus, she motivates you.
I was worried to take it because I dont like to talk a lot. No quizzes, no midterm, one final and mostly lecture. There are a few group assignments, a couple of essays, shes very cheerful and I actually enjoyed her class. It wasnt like ugh her class again. I learned a lot, honestly the best professor that Ive ever taken.
Professor Fowlie is amazing! She is so funny and her lectures are interesting. I really enjoyed this class, I thought it was going to be boring, but that was not the case. The class is SUPER easy, so easy that I would recommend taking it during a 6 week course. There is a group project , interview, and a midterm that make up most of the points.
Prof. Fowlie is an amazing CMST professor. She's very clear on what she wants & if you just do the work, you'll pass. She's pretty funny & she helps her students every step of the way. She wants her students to UNDERSTAND and PASS the material. Midterm, Final, 5-6 discussion boards, 1 group project, 1 interview, 3 movies. Interesting, easy, & fun:)
She's top-notch, I think the best communications prof you can chose at VVC. Makes us laugh quite a bit during her lectures. She has a way of keeping us entertained throughout the class period. A few discussion boards, a relationship journal, and a couple essays related to the journal make up most of the points (if taking Interpersonal).
Professor Fowlie makes the class enjoyable and funny. Shes very dorky, she cracks joke all the time her lectures are very clear and understandable. I had her for communication 106 and all we really did was take notes, watch a few films and do like a couple activities. We never had tests. Shes an easy class just gotta put some effort in though.
I really enjoyed Professor Fowlie's class. The syllabus is crystal clear. She provides outlines of what she expects. Workshops for extra credit (35 pts max, each workshop is 5pts) If you score perfect attendance all semester, your final is an automatic 100 %. If you skip class, she'll deduct from your participation points. She is great at teaching
she is a get professor
Such a wonderful professor very clear what she wants in the class put some effort into it you'll get a good grade. She's very caring and funny.
Shes the best professor that Ive ever had. She is always cheerful and her class is very easy in person. For CMST 106 there were no quizzes, just a final, and a couple of essays. Definitely taking her again for CMST 105.
She is one of the best professor's I've ever had, she's very clear on what she expects and is a fair grader. She's also hilarious and I looked forward to going to her class everyday!
Mrs Fowlie is a great teacher, funny, caring. She doesn't give you a lot of work to complete, so do the work she asks and you'll pass. She's very clear on grading and what she wants done. In my class if you attended class every day you didn't have to take fi al exam.
Hands down one of the best professors on campus. You learn such an abundance of information in any of her courses. She makes learning enjoyable, and seem easy. She gives you the confidence you need to pass. Her assignments have meaning, and are reasonable. I have taken her twice now, and plan to take her two more times. She is hilarious.
I dreaded having to take speech class, but Professor Fowlie made it most enjoyable. The requirements for the speeches are clearly defined and must be followed. She can be tough on her grading, and attendance is a must. She cares about her students. Don't mistake her kindness for weakness. You must present 4 speeches during her class. Highest marks
AMAZING PROFESSOR!!! Give outline on what she expects, so follow that and you will get good grades!!! Very awesome class.
Fowlie is an awesome instructor. Her lectures always include humor. She makes class very enjoyable. Her assignments are easy and participation will help you earn an easy A.
Took her 8-week hybrid course. She is a funny and informative professor. The class consists of chapter summaries, discussion boards, midterm and a final. Honestly an easy class. Overall a great class!
Professor Fowlie is by far my FAVORITE professor at VVC. I have already taken her twice, and I loved both classes. Lots of movies, a couple of tests, and a midterm/final(multiple choice) She is funny, caring, and very easy to get along with. She makes class enjoyable and teaches really great life lessons. I would totally recommened her!
shes a very intelligent and straightforward professor. you have a total of 4 speeches one of which is a fun group speech. she gives clear outlines for the speeches and if you follow that and pay attention to her instructions you should pass and even get an A. shes funny n keeps class light/interesting. show up for every class n get 100% on the fina
Professor Fowlie is the best! Her lectures are amazing and hilarious! Just go to class and type or write out the notes she presents. Study these and an A is very easy. There 2 tests (multiple choice, free response, and matching) and relationship journals. Don't worry about relationship journals, half a page minimum double spaced. Highly recommend!
All about participation, if you don't talk all the time you won't get a 100%. Me and my mom have both taken this class and are really good students and got a C on the final. The class is really easy until the last week and your grade drops almost a letter grade from participation and final (the only test ever). She is very cool, but pretty strict.
If you do the homework, pay attention to lectures (which isn't hard since she makes class quite enjoyable), participate during class, and study for the tests, you'll pass the class.
Professor Fowlie is one of my cool professors. She is approachable and funny. She is straight forward and has a transparent grading system. I love her confidence :)
Professor Fowlie is one of my cool professors. Took her CMST 105 and CMST 109 She is approachable and funny. She is straight forward and has a transparent grading system. I love her confidence :)
Very good professor. Took her twice because of her uplifting attitude and humor. Long lectures and notes but very helpful. Show up to class, take notes, study, participate, and you will receive an A easily.
Super tough grader. Public speaking during distant learning was interesting. I felt like I didn't get over my fears of actual public speaking like to a class. No zoom lectures, and prerecorded lectures were difficult to actually learn anything. I didn't see what everyone else saw in her. There was weeks with no direction. Pointless class.
I took her online due to the pandemic. Her class is very simple. 4 speeches, a few speech evaluations & a final. Gives you plenty of time to get work done. I dont see how anyone could fail her class. Smooth sailing for it being online I would def take again! Shes the best!
Professor Fowlie is great 10/10! Her class is really chill and she's great at lectures. Book was PDF style provided free in the syllabus. Get work done on time and make sure to take notes during lectures and after quizzes! Alot of her midterm and final material is in them. Have an open mind while taking the class and participate, she loves that.
Amazing professor, she gives great feedback. Make sure you participate and take good notes for the final
Very Nice, I took her for a 8 week class , Very nice responds to emails quickly. If you stay on top of things you will pass
She is super sweet and takes the time to comment on all of your assignments. It is an easy class to take with another class during 6 week sessions. Although it is easy, it is also thought provoking and you are required to put effort into your assignments. Its effortword count so if you hate long essays this is the class for you.
Professor Fowlie is an amazing communication teacher, she gives great feedback on assignments and she is not a tough grader, as long as you do the work, which isn't very difficult, you will pass the class.
Very easy class and amazing professor!
Such a lovely class. I took an online course bet I slightly regret not having her online because I feel as if I would have enjoyed her class more in real life. Professor Fowlie also gives the best feedback and she genuinely cares about our work and takes the time to read and respond to everything.
Professor Fowlie is great. Her class layout is simple, very easy to comprehend. She responds to emails quickly. Doesnt give an overbearing amount of work. She gives good feedback. Shes very nice, I would recommend.
She is such a kind, professor. Above that, her class was genuinely enjoyable! I learned so much without even trying. She's knowledgeable on the topic and shared great content. Alot of assignments, but if you stay on top of it, no reason you won't pass. Highly recommend(I was also apart of Access)
Very rude and hard grader.
I wish I could fit more than 350 characters because it is simply not enough to express my gratitude for having taken her class. She is a very kind individual who loves to build connections with student as long as they have the want to. It is very rare you come across an instructor like her, do yourselves a favor and take her class!!
Whoever is rating this profesor 5 stars is lying. She is not very good at lecturing, and does not offer guidance. She just tells you to do the work and expects you do to it her way. Do not take public speaking at least with this women who does has a small town mindset .
Very kind and inspirational. Not a tough grader when it comes to speeches. She creates a great class environment where you don't feel as nervous. You will need to make sure you have your stuff together especially on speech day! As long as you are prepared you will succeed!
Fowlie is so great! Her lectures are quick and she includes funny stories. Speeches are graded lightly, if you do what she asks, you will be good! She offers extra credit, as well in case you make some mistakes. There was only one test, the final, which has a study guide. She provides a great environment, Def take her if you get the chance!
I really enjoyed her class. We wrote papers based on some really good movies with a list of questions that had to do with curriculum. She was very much on top of grading and feedback. Most everything I submitted was graded within 24 hours, and always with a very nice comment. Two thumbs up!
Overall for me, this class was okay. Enjoyed the movies and films she had assigned.
This class was not what I expected I thought it was going to be fun and interesting but she made this class difficult for no reason. Get prepared to be on your own she doesn't like to help she prefers you go to the communication center. Also you need to practice speech at the communication center and if you don't she docs 10 points off your speech
I'm with the other person. How is she getting a high rating? Her study guide for her quizzes and midterms are completely useless. You will have somethings on there that match but for the most part they don't.
I know that some people think she can be rather abrasive and at times she could be almost scary if she got mad at a roudy student..that being said I did really like her style of teaching. She's treats you as you treat her, do not waste her time or interrupt her. Her interpersonal class assignments are not hard at all and she's always contactable.
Be prepared to be on your own she doesn't like to help you whatsoever. She prefers you go to the communication center. Even if it's a simple question about homework because a lot of the questions weren't very clear. Her study guide for her quizzes and midterms are completely useless. I'm an A student and finishing this with a C is terrible. BEWARE
Be prepared to not get help whatsoever. She would rather you go to the communication center. Even if it's a simple question about her assignments. The study guide and lectures are useless. I went from having straight A's to passing this class with a D. BEWARE defiantly if you're trying to maintain that 4.0.
Prof Fowlie was great took her cmst105 online and passed was a little bit of work but as long as you follow directions you will pass!! recommend highly
She is amazing, I loved this class. Her class is what got me through the roughest semester. She is funny, caring, kind, and just so fun! She creates such a safe environment for the speeches, and is quick to respond to emails. TAKE HER!!! Thank you Professor Fowlie!
Terrible teacher. Don't take your class, she is not a good professor at all.
I am not sure why others rated her as they did because I personally thought she was a great professor. Class wasn't too difficult and with every subject you have to put in the work in order to earn the grade you deserve. She also gave me so much support and faith to keep strong. That is what matters the most. This class was enjoyable.
I loved her lectures! She is very easy to approach and is willing to lend an ear. Make sure you always raise your hand and be attentive because she does grade you on how much you participate in class. Her tests were a little hard but as long as you study hard on the notes you take you will be ok. She gives a lot of extra credit.
I took her course online. She is an amazing professor and very easy to approach when you do not understand an assignmen. She gives good feedback. Participant is a must in her class. Her tests were a little hard but as long as you study the lectures and notes you take you will be ok. She gives extra credit. I would recommend you to take her course.
A couple of different short lectures, and four speeches, the last one being a collaborative speech. It was not too bad, Professor Fowlie was funny and supportive. Fowlie always had nice things to say after every speech too
Professor Fowler, is one of the best professors I have had in my education. Very manageable homework to do with a busy life schedule, as well as clear on assignments and necessary criteria. If you have follow on questions, or want to verify you did the major assignments correctly she does help and is very understanding! Highly recommend her class
Absolutely terrible professor, she made life more difficult for students. And had 0 leeway at a community college.
Great professor! She is sweet and understanding. I 100% recommend her.
Super understanding and easy to work with. Doesn't give too much work and the lectures are super interesting and insightful. Online course involves a short weekly quiz and sometimes a small assignment. 100% recommend this Professor.
This professor has got to be one of my favorites. Her class was so easy, she's just that good. Very recommendable.
this professor is not lenient she does not care what goes on in your personal life she just wants your work done or gives a zero. she acts like she's a English or math professor like it anit that serious. ugh now i have to retake it with a different professor. she has assignments all mixed up so watch out for those dates if Ur taking her. Dont!
she gives such good positive feedback on homework and is so sweet. I took it online and she would answer my questions right away.
Prof Fowlie's CMST105 class was challenging, but engaging. The workload was manageable with the help of tools like Unstuckstudy. Overall, a recommended course if you're willing to put in the effort.
The textbook was given to us for free. Follow her instructions and you can score an A. There's a midterm and final with a study guide. There's an interview project due at the second to last week.
Originally I didn't understand why people gave her low scores but now I do. On written assignments I answered exactly what was asked, I got a hundred. On exams I did the same yet she docked points? make it make sense. Study guides she provides are useless.
I really enjoyed Professor Fowlie's class. She may appear strict at first but if you just follow the work, it will be a breeze. Definitely show up to class and just get your speeches done on time and getting a good grade won't be a problem. If you can, definitely take her class because you won't regret it.
She is very strict on what she wants but everything she asks for is easy and doable. Her assignments are fun and she grades reasonably. Very easy class if you just follow the instructions. I had so much fun!!
Professor Fowlie helped me slightly get over my fear of speaking in front of people and now I know how to do proper speeches whenever I need it. Her gradeing are very easy and she doesn't give lots of homework you just have to be there and do your work.
Don't take this class, bad grading system, bad assignments and overall not good. Another review said it feels like an english or math class and that so true. Take someone else, no matter what you do you're not getting the grade you deserve.
Is very rude and not understanding of some situations. She is a tough grader and won't give specifics for what she wants and will take points off for you not doing what she didn't say she wanted you to do. Find someone else if you can.
At the beginning of the term, she was hilarious. Later, she would make subtle jabs about people's interests or clothing. She would publicly shame students who had personal things going on. Way too obvious about her political beliefs. Self-proclaimed "professor ratchet". Her instructions are vague, repeating the same 3 points, and she grades tough.
The semester started fine and normal until she started bringing up her political views in conversation or lectures which input was not needed and had nothing to do with the subject or lecture in class. She does not give clear instructions on how she wants her outline to be for the demo and informative speech.
Professor Fowlie is a bit of a firecracker, and maybe soft/weak people can feel offended by her personality. She does well with making her lectures interesting and interactive. She has you create a diary and make entries on it throughout the semester focusing on a relationship between you and someone significant to you.
She never explained why she would dock points for the written section on the midterm and final. The same goes for the final project. Her study guides weren't helpful, so I had to rely on Quizlet for better study guides. Still don't get how she has so many positive reviews. To each their own, I guess.
A fun teacher but sometimes shared political beliefs unnecessarily. Also felt like I had to share things about myself more than I'd like, especially through graded PUBLIC discussion boards. I wasn't called out or anything, but it felt awkward and other students approached me. Fairly easy class otherwise, and tests were fine and had study guides.
Professor Fowlie is an outstanding instructor. Her Interpersonal Communication course was engaging, insightful, and deeply applicable to real-life interactions. She fosters a respectful learning environment and provides thoughtful, constructive feedback. Highly recommended.
At the beginning of the semester she was nice and gave good feedback but as time went on she started taking points off and she wouldn't even explain why. Overall she has a very bad grading system, doesn't accept late work, because of her ways of teaching I didn't understand what she wanted from me and I got a bad grade because of it.
Ironically doesn't communicate very well and is combative when you point out an error in the lesson plan ie. quiz 3 was before quiz 2.
Fowlie accused me of using AI in the first week of class and refused to check again until I took it up with the dean to settle it. Her grading criteria is also extremely exact, follow her directions exactly. Don't forget to check out the lectures before the midterms and finals
She's horrible! Her assignments are unreasonable. She will find anything and any reason to give you a low grade. She takes FOREVER to respond to emails. Take anyone else but her!!
This was for Public Speaking class, and you have to participate in the class, but she is phenomenal.
Such a fun professor and class. There are a few lectures the start of the class, but she keeps you engaged. You have four speeches total, demonstration, informative, persuasive and one with a partner. You pick your topics for all speeches and your partner for the last one. Altogether, a very easy and fun class!
Overall she was a good professor, she is very funny and knows how to joke. Her lectures never seemed to be a drag or made me fall asleep. I never had a day where I didn't feel like showing up to this class and trust me you're going to need to since she's strict on attendance. Assignments are very easy, just read the outlines and do what they say.
very inconsiderate. no creativity nor compassion. never emails you back in time and passive aggressive.
