Hard, ambiguous, uses too much energy, wears you out. She is so enthusiastic, and tries so hard to be funny, and is a little funny, but she wears you out by all the energy she exudes. She should calm down a little or at least toneit down. She should also be more clear in her test questions.

Kim is one of the most caring person that I have known in my lifetime. Because she cares, shes going to do whatever it takes to help you succeed in her class. She knows her stuff forwards and backwards inside and out and if you let her, she will teach you many things that will be useful now and in the future. If you let her, she'll be your friend!

Professor Gyuran helped me get through public speaking. I had taken the class three times prior to taking her class and dropped them each time. She is really encouraging and gives you all the tools you need to succeed.

Professor Gyuran is a great teacher. She is very helpful and is excited about each and every speech. She is also understanding and will work with you to make sure you pass the class. I would definitely recommend her to anyone, especially if you struggle with public speaking.

I would highly recommend Prof. Kim. She is so helpful and easygoing. I never thought I would make it through public speaking. I was terrified just to sign up for it, but Prof. Kim helped me feel more confident in myself. She gives you a couple of tries on tests and works with you in Zoom on your speeches.

You will learn a lot about yourself in this class. I highly recommend it if you're interested in cultural communication. We did a few projects about our cultural background and I learned a lot about myself. I feel more confident talking to others now. We also did a group project, but it was actually fun and made the final project less work.

This class will teach you a lot about professional communication. Every lecture was filled with excellent tips that you can use at work or in your personal life. Class lectures were interactive and it's the only class I took this semester where I got to know my teacher and classmates. The group projects were a great experience!

Shes really funny and loud. However the professor's grading criteria is pretty tough. If you're gona take her make sure you PRACTICE before your speeches. Make sure you got your things together, unless you can avoid her then do so LOL. If you can take someone else there are more professors that don't grade like it's an English class.

Professor Gyuran was so thoughtful especially for students that have speech anxiety or little confidence. She made sure that we had all the tools we needed to succeed: material and practice wise. Her tests are short and simple and there are hints throughout the module to help you. Her feedback is precise and positive. She just wants you to do well!

Professor Gyuran has to be one of if not the sweetest professor I have ever had. Not only was her online class filled with resources to pass each week's exam, she always left very kind and encouraging comments on each assignment. There is a group project at the end for the final, just make sure to partner up ahead of time. Wonderful Professor!

Kim is really caring!! There are quizzes at the end of each week and the quizzes take a lot of prep. Some quizzes even require paragraph answers but she will tell you in advance. There is one project due at midterms so please start on that asap. The final is a project and you have to find a partner. The final is worth so much of your grade.

Professor Kim was awesome! You can tell she is very passionate about her students and what she teaches. It's really easy if you do the work. Just make sure you participate actively in discussions... there's also a short quiz every week, but the "test hints" throughout the modules tell you exactly what is on the quizzes.

This class seemed like intro to Queer theory. Much time wasted on trying to train class on a political agenda favoring marginalized groups. I wanted to learn how to communicate not understand the LGBTQ agenda. So frustrated. She graded quickly. When she marked you down on an assignment it was not clear at all what could have been done better

I can't say enough positive things about Mrs Gyuran. The class is challenging but not impossible. She is always willing to help and is extremely kind and passionate about everything she teaches. She wants you to succeed and if you read all the modules you won't miss your assignments dates.

Her class is so chill and if you can be a little goofy for a story you'll be fine. Grading can gets worse as you get closer to the final as she wants you to get better. It's ok to be nervous but please practice your stories, she gives really good advice if you're not into performing. The class feels more like a support group, that actually care.

The classmates I had made this class awesome. Teacher wise not in that case. Her grading is all over the place no one knew there grade. Tests were also very difficult she is super hard on your essay questions on tests. I can see why she uses her grading scale by points not letter grade because if that was the case no one would pass this class.

She doesn't really apply to her own rubrics and is overly strict when not necessary, tests are difficult and fairly subjective.

Felt like no matter what I did or how hard I worked, Kim was never satisfied and made it extremely difficult to get an A. Considering your grade is dependent on 3 exams and 3 presentations it's hard to get all the points you need. My experience was unenjoyable because it felt like the teacher had something against me from day one.
