julie is a blast! If you are looking for a good time take mrs irelands class.
Mrs Ireland rocks!
awesome teacher
julie is amazing
A really great teacher. Fun AND funny. She makes the class enjoyable. The atmosphere is comfortable for giving speeches because she likes to keep the subjects lite and fun. If you can, take her class.
The most delightful teacher I have EVER met.
Shes great and very to the point type of teaching. She made public speaking class something to look forward to. And I hated the thought of having to have that class!
Amazing! love her
teacher is very nice and helpful and cheerful, the class is very fun
Best Class EVER
ms. ireland has a great sense of humor and personality. best teacher on campus.
not only is julie an incredible professor, she is a phenomenal human being! very open and honest. hilarious and very dedicated to her students success. it is tough to get into her classes because she is so great, so enroll early!
best teacher , her class's are amazing fun and very helpful
Ok, honestly... This teacher was amazing! Not only was she hilarious, she also didn't just sit up there & read what's in the textbook (What a lot of professors do) She brought in real life experiences that trly helped me understand the field of public speaking. LISTEN TO THESE REVIEWS AND SIGN UP FOR THIS CLASS!
What to say about Julie...pretty much just one of the coolest Professors (make that people) ever! The class contrary to popular belief is ver easy. Show up, listen, participate, and "DON'T BE THAT GUY!" You will get out what you put into her class cut and dried. She is straight forward no BS and to the point. Don't ever say she did not warn you!
Really, show up, don't read your speech and you should get an A.
Julie is by far the best teacher on campus. Be prepared to have a good time in her class. Her only rule is to show up everyday and on time.
Pretty easy to get an A in her speech class even if you, like me, hate giving speeches. She will not, however, just 'give' you an A. But, if you show up and at least try you should be fine.
BEST TEACHER/PERSON EVER! Her class is fun, helpful and FUN
Such an amazing person! Had her a few semesters ago and had so much fun, even with It being an 8am class. She gave me so much confidence to speak, even though I hated public speaking before! SHOW UP and work on improving what she suggests. Loved her class!
amazing and super funny!!!
Top of her game-confident and funny
This teacher makes every class a fun time! She makes her lectures interesting and relates them to our lives! She always has fun activities to do that relate to the topic we are learning! She is funny, adorable, and one of my favorite teachers! I love walking into her class every morning knowing that it is going to be a fun class! She is amazing!!
one of the best teachers, her class's are fun and very helpful.
Great Teacher I cannot say enough great things about her Just show up be polite don't interrupt, Do your speeches and you'll have a good chance at an A. It's an easy class yet it is fulfulling and I feel I got a lot out of the class in terms of public speaking. Easily one of the best teachers at CCD
she is one of the best teacher ccd has
Oh how I hated the idea of taking a public speaking class! Somehow this professor makes it bearable. Not only is she funny, she's also a skilled instructor. You will have to do the speeches...there's no getting around that, but she is so encouraging that it doesn't seem so bad. Take her class if you get the chance.
Best professor I've ever had. Smart, funny, and present. I dreaded this class- she made it fun and applicable to life. If your on this site to check out professors before you register-do it now. You won't regret it unless your "that guy". Just show up, participate and have a good attitude and you'll get an A. Sad I can't take more of her classes!
WOW! All I can say is that Julie Ireland has been the best teacher I have ever had. It was purely a joy being in her public speaking class. You won't dread Public Speaking if you take her class. She is fun, funny, honest and all around a wonderful teacher. I would recommend her to anybody and everybody.
She's amazing. I was dreading public speaking, but she made the class very enjoyable. Just follow her direction and you'll get a good grade. Attendance is a huge part of the grade, so don't take her if you don't plan to show up for every class or are late a lot. Take public speaking with her if at all possible, unless you can't take a joke.
I took her maymester class ( in between spring and summer)of public speaking. It was a 9 day course, and it was the best decision ever!!! She is HILARIOUS, pushes you to do your BEST, boosting your self CONFIDENCE, and most of all, she makes the class FUN!!! I give her an A++++ for her incredible skills!! Her assignments are also so much fun!!
She is one of the best teacher I have ever had...I took her maymester class also, and the day when class was done...none of us can stand crying and missing her, missing the best time ever we have, and the best second family of ours...I love her a lot...I highly recommend you to take her class. Just be ready for the best time ever in your life.
Julie Ireland is one of the best speaker of the world. She is the best teacher of my life. My class is just over a couple hours ago and I begin missing her and the whole class. Best class I ever take. Ireland is the best.
This is one of those classes that you always dread taking, but Julie made it fun and comfortable for everyone! Thanks Julie! You rock!
Julie was an amazing teacher. She is soooo funny and made it fun to go to class everyday I was actually sad for the class to be over. She is great at what she does. If you need to take com 115 she is definately the teacher to take it with it wil make all the difference!
This puvlic speaking class was simply amazing, students who had the biggest fear of speaking in front of an audience, after this class with Julie, no longer had that fear. And those who needed their public speaking skills tuned up, went above and beyond. Class was fun and very enlightening. I highly recommend Ms Ireland---good luck
Julie is the best professor I have ever had! I was horrified to take this class, but she makes it so much fun. I have never laughed so hard in a class. She captivates your attention and is very knowledgeable and educated. I strongly recommend taking this course! You won't regret it :) Best professor at CCD by far!!
Best professor ever. Miss her so much. Don't take this class if you are planning to skip classes ,she is big on attendance.
Jules Ireland was BY FAR the best professor I have had. What a fantastic class. I can not say enough good things about her. She brought intelligence and professionalism along with lots of humor to the class. I was a bit scared to get up in front of people and speak, but Jules made it so comfortable and easy.
Julie is kind of insane to be honest...and thats one of the best things about her! She makes you want to show up to class and not want to leave. shes interesting and very knowledgeable. One of the best teachers i've ever had.
Few professors or teachers have taught AND inspired me. Julie did so daily. Hilarious, compassionate, straight forward about expectations and ALWAYS willing to help.
She's absolutely crazy... but amazing! Miss you Julie :) You will come to class everyday just to see what happens!
Julie is awesome! DO NOT take any other public speaking teacher! She is hilarious, does not require power point, or textbooks. Everything is taught right in class. She is funny, sarcastic, and down to earth. Julie is a must!
Students have a love/hate relationship with her. For me, she was very difficult to work with. I definitely will not take a class from her.
I think she is a very inspiring teacher. She motivates her students. I believe she stimulates creative originality in the class along with teaching the foundation concepts of how to write speeches! I, 100% recommend her class and I would have taken more had she taught more.
She is the best professor you can have for this class! She makes class a unique experience and is very helpful with any questions you have. Highly recommend her for any students planning to take this class!
By far one of the most enthusiasic and one of the best instructors I have ever had. Her passion and knowledge for public speaking radiates as she teaches every session. I am so glad I chose her as my instructor.
A teacher that is fair and professional. One of the best teachers so far. I'm taking her class now and signed up with her based on another students referral, I'm glad I did. I Love this class. She is empowering me with skills that will allow me to speak in front of anyone with confidence. If you want to learn from the best take her class.
My words can not describe Julie. she such as an amazing professor I have ever. seeing her on the early morning make me smile ;)I love you Julie.
Julie is a lovable instructor i ever had,she's passionate and funny. This class doesn't need a textbook at all, all you need is take notes, highly recommend!
it is summer time and I already missed being in Julie's class it was so much fun and I enjoyed a lot. it is very very easy class no need for book or writing outlines Take It
She is the best professor I have ever had. She is so funny and made the class fun to go to class 15 min earlier. She makes her lectures interesting. She is adorable, funny, and lovely. I strongly recommend taking this course! Just be ready for the best time ever in your life. I was actually sad for the class to be over. I love her a lot
She is definitely insightful in regards to her topics. I still do not like to stand in front of anyone's classroom, she so far has given constructive criticism to better prepare myself and she really likes to help a student to perform to their best. She's awesome!
she is the best, very fun and nice helpful, and also a class that you would like to without reinforcement very fun and I loved the professor I wish all the professor behave same way as she does
Julie is the best. I had her class at 8 am and no one had to worry about falling asleep. Shes absolutely hilarious. The class requires no text book and you aren't required to turn in anything on speech day. Show up, participate and you will get an A for sure. Best class Ive ever taken. I truly am a better speaker because of this class.
the best instructor I've ever had--I look forward to Monday at 8AM and Julie will make me laugh the entire week. She makes her class very comfortable, I really wish she taught another class. I will miss her classes. I recommend her to everyone. Please force Julie to teach another class or give me an "F" so I can take another class fron her
DON'T USE YOUR CELLPHONE.
Best professor for this course. She has a dark sense of humor and it is quite intriguing. Don't be close minded, get easily offended and don't use your cellphones during lectures. I cant stress enough how much this course helps with public speaking. But you have to work hard at it and make an effort.
Julie is hands down the best professor I have ever had especially since she is a Speech teacher. Her speeches are fun to do, her teaching skills are on point, and she is such a comedian. I highly recommend to take her class you will not regret it.
Julie is funny, nice, intelligent, hates computerscell phones, very liberal, edgy, experienced, quirky, and a little bit crazy. Most importantly she's a wonderful teacher who can change your life, change how you think, and make you more comfortable speaking in public. But only take her if you will show up to every class on time and pay attention.
Easy A, just keep up with the speeches don't miss on those days and read and learn notes for the 2 tests for the entire semester. She is fun, she is direct, and can cause for debates due to she speaks in generalization scenarios. I learned a lot in her class. I would take her class again.
Hands down the BEST teacher at CCD, had 2 semesters with her, got A's in both classes. She is funny, entertaining, hilarious, and she will make you laugh at least 5x a class. Its honestly the first class I've taken in college that I actually looked forward to going to. You wont regret taking her class, but good luck getting in, her class fills up
Amazing. She is easily the best teacher I've ever had at CCD. She is funny, smart, and overall a great individual. She is passionate at what she does, and it is very appreciated. I love her. And she's a hottie too.
Really funny, makes learning a fun experience!
There's a reason everyone loves Julie. I will miss her class greatly. If you don't pass with an A it's because you stopped caring as a student. If you don't find her funny it's because you take things WAY too serious. Want to learn real world applicable info? Take her. Want on her good side? Give her something black and strong in the a.m. (coffee!)
Just take her class, she is AMAZING!
Julie is so fantastic! I skip a lot of class & ended up with a C, but could have very easily achieved an A. I got 100% on all of my speeches and my final. She is crazy funny, very kind, and totally cool! Before her class I was petrified of public speaking but now if I had to, I could give a speech at a moments notice. Highly recommended!
Julie is an amazing teacher with a great sense of humor. She makes the class engaging especially so early in the morning. She is super fun and makes the class worth going too. She makes it easy to understand and never hits you with any surprises. Honestly the best class I have ever taken.
Julie is not only one of the best professors I have ever had, she is hands down one of the coolest people I have ever met. I understand that most of you are looking at her class because it is easy, which is true, but there is so much you can get out of it. Participate, do your best and I can guarantee that you will thoroughly enjoy the class.
Julie Ireland makes class enjoyable. If you don't have a sense of humor, take this class from someone else. JULIE IRELAND FOR PRESIDENT
If you came to class everyday and did your speech and took notes you got an A. No problem. She makes things pretty clear. And if you don't have a sense of humor, and can't take a joke and need to be politically correct all the time don't take her class.
Julie is an amazing teacher! Personally I have never been good at public speaking, but when taking her class I felt much more at ease. She is hilarious and grades each person on their own ability. Take her class you won't regret it!
She is very energetic, clear in her instructions, and likes to have fun. If you always want to be politically correct, don't take her class. If you like jokes and fun classes, take her class. She is HILARIOUS!
She is hands down the best teacher I have ever had. She is smart, funny, and gives great feedback. She's a babe too, so that's always a plus.
I took Julie because she came highly recommended, by many. She has surpassed my wildest expectations from this course. Its supposed to be dreadful, but she makes it completely fascinating. When you watch Julie its obvious being in front of eager minds is exactly where she should be. Phenomenal educator, comedian, woman. Take her class!
She just awesome! She makes her class comfortable, especially with me since I was really shy so she helped me come out and express myself. She an amazing teacher, she makes everyone laugh! I would highly recommand her to anyone by far the greatest professor CCD have!!!!
Julie's the BEST professor I've EVER had in college. If you lack a sense of humor & one of the politically correct people, don't take her class. Show up, take notes, present your speeches, & you will end with an A. She doesn't expect you to turn in a paper for your speech. Just present and that's it. Only written assignments are midterms and finals
Best professor i've had! I always looked forward in attending her classes, her lectures were amazing and she is just simply hilarous. Yeah, she is am easy grader but you still learn a lot if you show up to class. I wish i can take her class again! Oh, and for the record, DO NOT BUY HER TEXTBOOK, Guarantee you will not open it.
One of the best teachers I've had! She makes public speaking so easy. You truly learn how to speak effectively in public and so much more, like about different cultures and how public speaking is so important around the world. Attendance is everything but you actually want to show up to her class because it's like a comedy show each time.
She is absolutely hysterical!!!! She told you exactly what you needed to get an A and it was easy to accomplish. She made the class very comfortable and fun!!! Would take class again and I don't even like public speaking that much!!! Best professor I've ever had!
Julie is a great teacher. SHe grades you on body movement and how you give a speech over what language you use. She has clear grading and really caring and understanding to all students. I would take her again and i suggest her to every student!
She was great!
She is hilarious. I'm a very strong public speaker already, but she taught me a few things, like how to be funnier. The weaker speaking students seemed stronger at the end of the class. She is changing her syllabus after this semester, but I'm going to presume based on what she's said, that she'll still be a fun teacher.
She is Wonderful teacher. I will never forget her.
She is the best! You learn so much in her class, and she makes you get out of your comfort zone with jokes and awesome speech topics. Hands down the best Professor I have had; easy A as long as you show up.
oh my god, I so love this class it is so amazing , I never had such an amazing professor, she is hillarious , has no filter ( SHE IS FUNNY AND VERY OUTSPOKEN) laugh all the time with her, we didn't use the book much TAKE NOTES!!! VERY IMPORTANT , IT WILL BE USEFUL IN THE FOR THE FINAL! HAVE FUN, JOKE AROUND!
Julie is a very nice and funny instructor inside & outside of class. Her lectures are very beneficial you learn a lot from her about many different things in life, which I found very beneficial and enjoyable. The work she assigns is very straight forward and clear. I guarantee you that you will enjoy every minuet of class & you will laugh a lot.
Julie has been my favorite professor so far. She requires participation, grades fairly, and is overall awesome. My favorite thing about her was her teaching style. She is real, she doesn't sugarcoat, and she is extremely fair. I have never had a professor that was so about equality. She is well respected and well loved and she has earned it.
Julie Ireland is a well respected professor. If I can take her class again trust me I would. She gets things done, her lectures arent as boring as other professor!!!!! I love her class . She deserve an A for excellence job as a professor!
She's my favorite professor. Her class was the best.
With raw, real world experience, Julie is a breath of fresh air. Her style is her own and she owns it! Julie challenges you with out of class assignments that require solo experiences based on your fears. Whether it's going to a movie theater alone, singing in public, or perfroming at the open mic night! A refreshing shift in perception no doubt.
Took her public speaking class in the spring, and she really helped me become a better speaker and break that fear i had. Practice, show up for all your speeches and you should pass. She is so funny !!!
This was my favorite professor on the planet :-) !!!!!
This class wanted by many for good reason, Julie Ireland's professionalism is second to none!
