She's easy, very easy. And a good teacher.
She gives the sun a hand....oh yeah...and her students as well.
she's prolly the funniest and outspoken teacher I've met. glad to have met her
Awesome teacher. Fun, Easy, and just great.
She is very clear in exactly what she wants you to learn. She is extremely down to earth and her class is a lot of fun to attend. I didn't crack my book once because she covered all material in class and even told you when to take notes on it.
very good teacher i had her for a summer class and i would tell anyone to take her
Love her!! I recommend her to everybody, she is the best teacher I have had so far. Take her class!! She makes it fun!
She is awesome...I hate speaking in front of people and I suck at it, and I still got an A in the course!!!
Had her for a minimester. Even going every single day of the weeek for 5hrs, I didn't hate her. I have social anxiety problems and always freak out in front of people-she grades you on your OWN ability, not against others-I got an A. She's wacky and fun!
Wonderful teacher! Class was fun and she kept things very interesting. She enjoys teaching and it shows! I could not imagine taking speech with any other teacher! I wish all teachers at ICC were like her!
Love her! She is the best teacher. I knew everyone in my entire class at the end of the semester. She really cares about people and has a huge heart. She should also do stand up comedy on the side!! Highly Recommended!
She is one of best teachers I have ever had. She helped me think outside of the box. She really wants everyone to know each other in the class before anyone gives a speech. I had her over the summer and it was totally fun. She is very outgoing and spunky.
AWESOME teacher! I took her in a summer night class and she is the best teacher I've had at ICC. She has a great sense of humor and makes you at ease when giving speeches. She also realizes students have other things to do besides going to school. Definetly the best communications teacher to take!!!
Shes is so funny. It makes the class go a lot faster. She is very helpful and extremely nice to everyone in the class!!
she is hilarious one of the best teachers on main campus
she was realy fun and created a very lax and friendly environment that made it easier for the shyest student to give a speech.
i think she grades to hard. i have lost points on outlines becaues i crossed out something i didnt talk about, even though she said it was ok! she likes outside the box, i dont think that way, so i get marked off for it. other than that not bad. make sure you have an open mind for speechs though!
I hated giving speeches, but she made you feel at ease. Very cool lady. I recommend her to all.
I was terrified of giving speeches but Kim really made me feel at ease. All of her ice breakers were very helpful.
i didnt expect that i could get an A in this class cuz eng is my 2nd language. you will never fall asleep in her class but you will always laugh so hard in her lecture. the testes were all easy job, got perfect scores without any reading i like it. She is a full time joker more than a full time faculty. she is so energetic, doesnt need to retire~!
OMG!! this teacher was amazing...i was lucky to have her for my very first college course...she definitely made me laugh and was a great first impression of college. I highly recomend her!!
She was of the funnest teachers I've ever had
I had her for Speach, ordinarilly I HATE speech class, But it ended up being one of the best classes I have ever taken. Very fun, very helpful, and you end up meeting a lot of really cool people!
She is the love of my life.
Excelent teacher. I highly recomend her class!
Apply yourself and do the extra credit and this class is an easy A
I love her! She is so exciting and passionate about speech. She is a difficult grader and picky, but if you can follow directions, you're good to go. If you don't take her class, you are nuts. She's amazing and sooo funny.
if you can't get her or janecke, just put it off until you can get into one of their classes.
Extremely easy class!
She was SOOO easy.. She gives you every chance in the world to get extra credit every day. I hate speeches but she made the class fun, interesting, and not just about giving speeches.
Kim Roe is funny,funny,funny! She is hilarious! She gives you plenty of chances to get extra credit. I hated speech, but she got me through it.
I love her! I was so nervous about speaking in large groups but she made everyone feel very comfortable and made us know everyones name by the end of the semester. A very easy class and exams were easy. i wouldnt miss the days of speeches bc some of the questions involve someone speech, etc.
I took this class as a minimester over the summer, and I thought I was going to hate it, but it was just the opposite. I have a huge fear of speaking, but she made everyone in the class feel like we were all in it together. She's hilarious and an awesome teacher. She takes a genuine interest in her students. Take this as a minimester if you can!
She is funny and easygoing
She is very funny and fairly easy. She does her best to make sure you are comfortable giving your speeches. The group speech at the end is a bit of a pain but she did grade it fairly.
Obviously Ms.Roe is hilarious from all the previous ratings. She made class just so enjoyable to sit through and I never got bored. U have two individual speeches and 1 group speech at the very end, in which you get to pick all your topics.I was so terrified of speech but she literally made the class confortable with each other, highly reconmended!
Miss Roe is great!! She makes sure you are comfortable speaking and is a blast. Favorite class this semester. Only problem (which isn't her fault really) is that she has missed class 6 times. The quizzes are easy and the class is an EASY A!!! have fun!!!!
she is a wonderfull teacher. class is very easy.
Awesome teacher! she is very fun and likes to see the students in her class interact. I was scared to do speeches but she made it fun! one of my favorite classes so far.
Awesome teacher! I hate giving speeches, but I loved this class because of her. She is so fun and she is hilarious. She made this class easy for me to get through. We didn't even have to use our textbook, except for extra credit. Very few notes and very few assignments. Everything in that class is so easy. One of my best teachers I have ever had.
AWESOME TEACHER! Class with her is so fun! She makes speaking easy, and meeting new people easy to! She is really carefree and down to earth...she knows what she is teaching! GREAT TEACHER!
Fantastic teacher!!!! Thats all that needs to be said!!
Alright, not my favorite teacher. She didn't show up for 4 weeks of classes (not in a row but all together) at LEAST. No text books were required until the very end for the final, but it was very unclear on what the final was going to be on. Got a B+ in the class when I got A's on all speeches? Overall she was entertaining but thats it.
Most people fear death less than public speaking. I'm one of them. Ms. Roe made it much easier, though, because from day one, she gets you in touch w/each of your classmates. I've NEVER had a class where I knew EVERY other student, but she's got a formula that works! Quizzes are easy if you attend class & read book. Group presentation at end. Fun!
She was entaining to say the least made class fun too. I recommend her for speech from i heard she is the best and the others suck so there ya go YEEEEEAAA BOY
Awesome teacher!!! She is great. She has a fun personality and very outgoing. Made it easy and comfortable to talk infront of class.
She is a great teacher. The one and only that makes you get to know the others in the class. Its a speaking class and one of the classes that i feel most comfortable! She takes the time to get to know you great teacher!!
She is honestly the best teacher that I have ever had. She is a lot of fun and her class is actually interesting. Take her for Communication!
FANTASTIC TEACHER!!! Her jokes are on point! BUT...do not waste your money on the book...you can't sell it back... and you will NEVER use it!
Professor Rowe was really awesome. She is funny and knows her stuff. I think everyone should take her. If I ever saw her in a bar, I would definitily get her **** and do her. I think she's hot!
one of the best teachers I've ever had. She always made class interesting. and told us to come back if we needed any sort of reccomendation. She definitely made sure we knew our classmates. She was always very helpful. and the first speech was like a get comfortable speech that didnt really count to make sure you were comfortable. GREAT teacher!
She is funny, But she may have a thing agianst men but I still got an A so oh well, By far one of the best teachers I have had
LOVE HER!! She is one of the best teachers I've ever had. She is always willing to help and definatly knows what she's doing. Her stories are hilarious and while you're up giving your speech she's always smiling and looks interested!
plays favorites so try to get on her good side. she seems really laid back and easygoing, but that will go away fast. helps if you're a good-looking guy. misses class all the time but expects you to be there, AND read her mind about what you should've done while she was gone.
Considering you have to take this class, TAKE KIM ROE! She is hilarious and very interesting. Her speech topics are fun and she makes the class pretty easy. I loved her class.
Kim Roe is an exceptional Professor who uses creativity, humor, and unique delivery styles to convey course content. I would recommend her!
She is one of the best professors I have ever had! I loved her sense of humor and her involvement with our class. I would not hesitate to recommend her.
Ms. Roe is great. Hilarious, entertaining, and an overall wonderful teacher. She's very informative & understands that a lot of people hate giving speeches. She really makes it easy and helps everyone feel more comfortable. *thumbs waay up*
probably the greatest teacher i have ever had! she is amazing and truly inspiring. she is the most entertaining professor and i looked forward to class even though i hated giving speeches. she is very understanding and is ALWAYS smiling!!!
She is hilarious and very fun to listen too. I would recommend her. The only thing that I didnt like is that our speech topics were odd and hard to come up with idea. On the bright side you only have to give two individual speechs
she grades your speeches hard so be ready.
Kim is a great teacher. I was not looking forward to giving speeches, but she made it fun. Highly recommended.
I took this class as a minimester and she made me want to go to class. Her humor wins you over and as long as you follow the handouts youll get an A. Offers a great deal of extra credit. She also gave plenty of examples to go off of for speeches! really makes you get to know everyone in the class which makes it easier to speak to them. love her!
Great teacher! I had her for COMM 110 over this summer. She's very helpful by giving you speech outlines from the past that you can base your speeches off of. One of the best teachers I've ever had!
Awesome class. I dreaded taking speech, but she made it fun and a very comfertable environment. It was quick, and when much more smoothly than I intended.
best class i've taken at ICC
LOVE KIM ROE. i hate giving speeches and i was dreading this class but i actually love coming to class. she keeps you interested and she is super helpful. she is also hillarious .. mos def recommend this class to everyone
This woman is made of fabulous.
No doubt about it, the best communications teacher at icc!
She is good at what she does and is funny. You have to earn your grade though. She doesn't give it to you. I would recommend her.
I have never enjoyed a teacher more than I enjoyed Professor Roe. She is absolutely amazing. I absolutely dread giving speaches but I never wanted this class to end. Would refused to take this class with any other professor!
I took this class this spring and it was a pretty easy class. You have 3 graded speeches and one of them is a a group project. You don't do much with the book- you only use it to study for the tests. Kim doesn't grade easy on speeches so you're going to have to earn your grade.
i had her over the summer and it was almost a 3 hr class and she really made it feel like i was there for 40 mins..very interesting and very good teacher deff take her!!
She was an amazing teacher!!! always happy and kept it interesting.
Dr. Roe is amazing! She is loud and funny and really easy to get along with. She is very clear in stating what she expects of you and she is very helpful in helping you get there. She understands her students and she does a lot to help you out. I would DEF recommend you take her!!!
Most definitely the best teacher I have had. She is so outgoing and spontaneous. Easy to learn the material from someone who is so happy with their job. She literally provides bonus points for every thing. Makes the class comfortable by breaking the ice the first week. She is very understanding and creative! Would recommend her any day!
EASIEST CLASS I HAVE EVER TAKEN. Not only that, but Roe is a super fun, spunky, and hilarious teacher. She will make giving speeches seem fun. I hate speaking publicly but I wasn't as nervous in this class. Take this teacher for Communications, you will not be sorry. You never use the text book, midterm and final are easy guess questions.
Loved her class! TAKE HER IF YOU NEED COMM 110!!!! She made this class enjoyable.
Very nice teacher with a good sense of humor. She helps break the ice at the beginning by helping everyone get to know each other. The topics of the the speeches were hard to come up with. There's a critique, culture, and group speech. She grades speeches very hard but gives tons of extra credit. Easy A
Nice, helpful, lots of extra credit offered. I suggest doing the extra credit offered- it makes a huge difference
Best teacher I've ever had! She's so funny that I actually looked forward to attending class.
FANTASTIC. She's hilarious! Best teacher I've ever had hands down. She makes it easy for you to speak infront of people. I'd recommend this class to everyone.
Great teacher! Gives a lot of chances for extra credit. She is very funny and her class is a blast!
I absolutely HATE giving speeches. I actually have gotten bumped down a letter grade for not giving speeches in other classes. I did all of my speeches for Roe & I enjoyed it, surprisingly. She makes it easy and fun, and I actually wish I had taken the class over a normal semester, rather than summer. TAKE HER CLASS IF YOU CAN!
First time I didn't want a semester to end. Felt like throwing up every time I had to give a speech but wanted to give another by the end of the semester. Very chill & relaxed classroom environment. You'll get to know everyone. Gives a lot of extra credit & a bunch of feedback/comments on speeches. Funny/entertaining teacher. Take her class!
One of the nicest professors I have had at ICC. Loves her job and wants to make sure that you enjoy the class and feel comfortable with everyone in the class. She really does care and you can tell. I just wish more professors were like her.
She is the best teacher I've had at ICC! She's fun, she loves her job, and she actually gets to know you a little. I dreaded speech class but she made it so fun! I cannot say enough good things about her! Excellent teacher! I've recommended her to all my friends!
She is a FABULOUS teacher. I would get her for COMM 110, if you can. She misses a far amount of class,though. Don't worry, it doesn't hinder you. DON'T PROCRASTINATE on the final group project! That will only hurt you. She makes speech class, awesome!
Love this teacher! She is so nice and is willing to help any of her students. I went into this class dreading giving speeches and came out not being scared at all. She makes the classroom environment very comfortable, which makes it easier to give speeches. Hard grader on speeches but lots of opportunity for extra credit.
She was extremely helpful. Her class was very easy and she spoke clearly. I took this class when the tornado hit central Illinois, she was very accomidating to anyone that was affected.
Wonderful and fun teacher! So funny and is very down to earth and real. Very easy teacher but will tell it like it is. Really cares about her students and takes the time to get to know us and help us feel comfortable.
Super nice and funny lady! She's really clear about what she wants out of speeches, makes it much easier to prepare. Takes a lot of personal days, which doesn't effect the class much.
If you're looking to get an easy A and not really interested in learning (AKA most of us who take this class) TAKE HER. Misses class ALL the time, does lots of "work days" (she's there but doesn't do anything), and we ALL benefit from her lazyness! Offers tons of extra credit, gives you a good grade as long as you just TRY. Outstanding.
Kim was one of my favorites! I definitely recommend her for anything. Her lectures were fun and didn't put me to sleep. She was a little bit of tough grader on speeches but there were no quizzes and only 2 tests including the final. She gives room for LOTS of Extra Credit!!
Didn't lecture about most of the material on the final. She said she would be in the classroom if students needed help on one of our first days working in groups. She left within the first ten minutes and we had to go to her office to ask her questions. Most classmates did not know where her office was located.
I was expecting to take this course and be completely bored. I found that Kim Roe is the opposite of boring. I have had many instructors and she is by far my favorite. She lectures so well using real life stories, which are so funny, to incorporate in the learning material. She allowed us to choose what to speak about and was extremely helpful.
So if you are smart, and someone who flails their arms a lot and talks about their personal life is not a good teacher, probably not for you if you are a high school student that's needs entertainment probably fine, very boring class, very little learning actually goes on. Strict adherence to the outline she gives you results in a good grade
Professor Roe has a great sense of humor, loves teaching speech, gives great examples before you give a speech and makes you feel confident and less terrified of standing in front of a class talking. She grades according to her rubric and be prepared to get kicked out if you are talking and laughing while a student is giving their speech.
She's absolutely hilarious - a blast to be around! She understands the anxiety that comes with public speaking and intends to make the class as relaxed as possible. There's only 2 graded speeches you must present on your own and one (more frustrating) group speech. Overall I recommend her to anyone with a fear of public speaking stuck taking speech
Would definitely recommend taking her class, especially if you're nervous about public speaking. She totally gets it and is a decently generous grader. She assigns fun speeches and is totally willing to help you out. She'll also make you laugh at least once everyday which is a major plus.
She was one of my all-time favorite teachers. The class is super easy if you just try and PRACTICE your speeches. Never miss your speech days for else you will not do very well.
Very friendly, and she has very entertaining lectures. She does well to make you feel comfortable during speeches and is not judgmental at all. If you have to take a communication class (especially com 110 with speeches) take it with Kim Roe, you won't regret it! Her tests are kind of hard, but as long as you do well on your speeches you'll do well
Kim Roe is by far the best teacher I've ever had. First of all, she is hilarious. This makes the class not boring, especially during lectures and notes! She gives extra credit, which gives everyone a more than fair chance to pass the class. She respects you as a student. I don't think I could've lucked out with a better teacher for this course.
At first I thought she was great. she graded the first couple speeches fairly, then started grading harder without any guidance on how to fix your problem areas. She barely gave us any direction for our group speech, and the final exam material wasnt taught at all. She's entertaining in class, but I learned nothing
Overall this class was not overly difficult. The material for the online quizzes can be found in the book, but I also made quizlets. There are a lot of ways to earn extra credit, especially for the final. You get lots of in class time to work, but I do not feel that I learned anything too new. I would recommend her class if you have to take COM 110
Amazing
Kim Roe is by far my favorite professor at ICC. She is hilarious and makes coming to class really enjoyable. I have a fear of speaking in front of people, so having to take Comm 110 made me very anxious. But, Kim eased my anxiety and it turned out to be an easy A for me. Would take again.
Initially really enjoyed her class because she started off the semester trying to make everyone comfortable with each other to make giving speeches easier. Speech topics weren't hard, but her grading scale made this class difficult. If you do everything she wants then you get a C because you did the minimum. You have to work hard to get an A
She says in class that if you complete all requirements you'll get a C, and an A comes from more effort. That being said, there are at least 4 or 5 ways to get around 15 points each for extra credit. The online quizzes are easy and the final is online. You don't even need the textbook. Also, her lecture prompts seemed better than other teachers
She is an amazing teacher! She really makes the lectures fun and helps you feel not quite so nervous for public speaking. She can be a hard grader, but if you do everything she asks for and then some: its not very difficult to get an A.
She is absolutely hilarious and has a great heart. I would definitely recommend taking her class. At the beginning of the semester you will get to know everyone, it really helps when giving speeches. Also the group project will help you get to know others in your class better. I would definitely take her class again.
Shes a super sweet and hilarious professor. Id easily take her for every class
Kim is a wonderful professor. She will literally give you anything you need in order to make sure that you are able to give a great speech. Her lectures are wonderful because she doesn't make them boring, as she would always crack jokes. I would highly recommend taking at least one of her courses!
Professor Roe is AMAZING. I absolutely hate giving speeches and she actually made it enjoyable. She gives out plenty of extra credit, her lectures are interesting and informative, she's hilarious, and she is caring. One of the best professors I've ever had. TAKE COMM WITH HER.
Professor Roe was an incredible instructor. She clearly enjoyed what she taught and valued her students. Beginning of the semester, she focused on building her students' confidence through simple exercises, preparing them for their first speech. She is an easy grader & even though this was a speech class, it was very easy-going. Highly recommend!
I love Kim Roe! I've taken a few of her classes and loved every one of them! Awesome teacher and if you do the work you should pass!
Download your speech outline as a PDF. She kept saying "nod downloads", but never specifically said PDF. I got a zero on a 100+ point speech because of it. So learn from my mistake. But overall easy class and a great professor. I had online anytime so we didn't interact much. She's really nice though. Loves The Office.
I would definitely recommend Professor Roe! She is a very fun, laid back person who is very nice and is easy to contact for help. She gives great feedback on each speech and makes the class enjoyable. There are some easy assignments/quizzes, 3 speeches, and 3 peer reviews on those. Overall an easy, enjoyable class and a great professor to take!
Super easy! Took online summer 2020 and only had 3 projects to complete. We recorded our speeches at home and submitted them online to review. Not a lot of work and easy grader.
super easy class, super sweet and very clear grading.
I took Professor Roe's class as an 8-week course over the summer and I loved it! She is very engaging and has a great sense of humor. She also knows how to talk to students if they need help. I definitely credit Professor Roe for pushing me and for making me more socially apt as well. 10/10 would take her class again!
She was my favorite teacher this semester. Her lectures are really interesting and she always had a lot of energy. She has extra credit opportunities and a clear grading system. She always gives feedback on the speeches and is helpful if you're confused.
Would recommend! She is very friendly, gives good feedback, and isn't a picky grader. Easy discussion boards and short quizzes are most of the assignments; only 3 speeches for the semester. Grades in a timely manner and was responsive to emails. Gives clear expectations and examples for the speeches. Overall a good choice.
Assignments were simple, graded quickly and fairly. Speeches were graded tough but not crazy - just put in the effort. I kept getting points off my speeches, and I emailed to ask what I could do better, but she wouldn't really give specific critiques until after the final speech. A little frustrating. Overall very structured and consistent though!
Professor Roe makes this class enjoyable with her friendly, laid-back approach. Assignments are straightforward, and she provides clear feedback to help improve your speeches. unstuckstudy was a great study resource alongside the textbook. Overall, a pretty easy and rewarding class.
Never gave info on how to make my speeches better. Just docked 2-3 points from every part of the rubric. Do the extra credit. Quizzes were open book but I swear some of the questions weren't covered in the chapter. Even upon googling questions after I couldn't figure out answers. Lecture notes were just random words and images. No context. Online.
