This class was awesome it is super easy and kisa is a great lady. Super sweet and caring about her students.
Loved everything about this class. She protected us as her own and worked hard and was very open to us all. She always had a smile on her face, her light always shine right through us! She's a very good listener and helps us with whatever we needed. She is always willing and letting us know that she is there for us!
If you need to take this course TAKE IT FROM KISA! She makes learning super fun! Her class is super fun! She is PROFESSIONAL, FLEXIBLE, GENEROUS, FUNNY, KIND, WARM & CARING! She see's "the student" not just the class. You would be crazy not to take it from her. She is AMAZING! If you show up, participate, and do your assignments, its an EASY A !
Kisa was an amazing professor who genuinely knew the information she was teaching. Her lessons were clear and very inclusive, as well as very interesting. Everyone in her class genuinely wanted to attend class, and all left class with real life knowledge that they could apply to everyday situations.
Loved this class and this professor. She is very understanding and a great example of a good communicator.
Friendly
Really kind, and amazing to work with. I got a lot out of my class with Kisa.
Kisa Smith is a breath of fresh air when it comes to having a professor. College is hard enough yet she teaches the material in the easiest way possible, if you dont get a good grade in this class its honestly your fault. Attendance is mandatory but honestly if it werent Id keep going due to the great discussions we have! Shes the best!!! <3
Absolutely wonderful! Treats her students like friends, not robots. Easily the most caring teacher I've ever had. Created a great dynamic in the classroom without being too lenient, I'm learning everything I need to but without any extra pressure. Fantastic teacher.
Kisa is seriously one of my favorite professors of all time. She is so easy to work with and makes her class a place you look forward to being in. As long as you do your assignments and participate in class, she is super easy going. She is also very easy to get in touch with outside of class. 10/10 recommend taking one of her classes!
Kisa is super friendly and makes the whole class feel at home in the classroom. If you take her class, be prepared to laugh a lot. The classwork is made up of mostly speeches but she clearly explains what we will be graded on and is always there to help. Shes very understanding and wants you to pass just as much as you do.
I have taken two of Professor Smith classes and they are by far my favorite. She is so caring and understanding to all of her students.
Kisa is punctual, professional, flexible, and funny. If I were you - I would take as many classes from her you possibly can. She LOVES her students, and they definitely LOVE HER. I've attended 3 different colleges and she is hands down one of the best professors I've ever had!!!
Kisa is professional, yet engaging and funny. If I were you - I would take as many classes from her you possibly can. She LOVES her students, and they DEFINITELY LOVE HER. Kisa"s on-campus classes are SUPER FUN! I've attended 3 different colleges and she is hands down one of the best professors I've ever had!!!
She is one of the best professors I have ever had. She made public speaking, which is usually a nerve wracking class, every comfortable and fun. I would absolutely take this class again and any of her classes. You should take her class too!
Professor Smith has been one of the best professors that I have had so far here at Dixie State University. I would Highly recommend taking her class.
I loved her class! She lectures everyday but they are funny, entertaining, and interactive. The work she gives is not hard and she is more than willing to help you in any way possible. I would recommend her class to everyone!

After taking this source I recognize ways I communicate and things I need to work on. I would highly recommend taking any of her classes!
I couldnt recommend Kisa more. She genuinely cares about her students and will make time to ensure any and all questions are answered. Her class is so much fun and provides great insight into human relationships.
Kisa is an amazing professor! Her lectures are great because they provide real life information about relationships. Her lectures are also very interactive and fun. There are assignments and discussions due weekly.
This was one of my favorite classes this semester, mostly because the lectures are very informational, yet Kisa keeps them fun and interesting. If I have the chance to take another Comm class I would for sure take it from her again.
I loved every second of the class. She makes a safe environment for the class to have an open discussion. She is easy to reach out of class and wants you to succeed. She takes the time to get to know the class as best she can. She gives you enough homework to stay interested and involved but not too much to not enjoy the class.
I love this class & this professor. I was never sad to be in her class and never wanted to be somewhere else. I learned a lot that could be used both in & outside the classroom. It wasn't just about passing the class in this course. It was more about being a kind human being and supporting your fellow classmates. You won't regret taking this class
This Professor does a great job leading discussions and having great open discussions. Assignments are easy and fun and as long as you stay on task and do your homework your should get a great grade.
Kisa is amazing! She is so personable and you can tell she cares about her students. I really like how she structures her class, she doesnt have any tests and her assignments focus on actually developing communication skills! Her lectures are really interesting and shes big on student participation. I wish I could take every class from her!
Kisa is a true gem. Her work is easy to understand and complete if you do your part. I always look forward to go to her class as everyone feels included and we all work together like a family. Something that is hard to find in a college level. Amazing professor
Kisa has been wonderful to learn and work with. She is genuine about her work and she isn't afraid to let you know. I have loved having her as a professor. She cares about every one of her students and makes it a point to learn names and facts about all of them as well. She is funny and keeps the learning smooth and easy. 10/10 would recommend.
Kisa is an amazing professor who has amazing stories to tell while teaching. She keeps things fun and interesting so it is easy to learn. She builds a relationship with you so it is easy to reach out to her. I would definitely take this class again.
Kisa is the greatest professor that I have ever had. She truly cares about you and will do whatever she can to help you succeed. She works hard to teach you what you need to know and also help you understand the material. Kisa is hilarious and class is actually enjoyable. I wish this class could have lasted longer, because I loved it.
Kisa was hands down my favorite professor!! She is such a genuine and loving person. I would literally be her friend outside of class. Communications was such a great class and I learned so much. She loves to hear from the class so we had lots of class discussions. I would recommend this class to anyone.
If youre struggling to find a teacher for any class, I would highly recommend taking professor Kisa Smith. She is probably the most understand person I know and will be fair with you if you do the minor assignments she requires!
Her class is pretty worthless. She demands that you watch her long lecture videos, that I did not watch and did fine. Whole class was busy work. I had an 89.84 in the class. I completed parts of the extra credit and resubmitted my final paper for extra points that were not given. She did not round up my grade 0.16% after I did extra work.
Kisa is a fantastic professor. As her student, I could tell she really cared about me and my peers in the classroom. Her assignments are educational and relevant to the course material. Would definitely take a class from her again.
Kisa is hands down my favorite professor at dixie state. She makes you want to go to class. I was very comfortable in her class and it was easy to talk and share. Our class was like a big family. If I could take this class every semester I would! 10/10 would recommend
This class was fun and fairly easy. As long as you paid attention in class and read the chapters it was an easy A. The teacher was fun and easily approachable, she explained things well and had cute and attention-grabbing power points for lectures. Overall I really would recommend this professor if you are interested in taking communication health.
Kisa is by far one of the best professors I've ever had! Her lectures are always fun and she loves to hear feedback from her students. She's very good on reminding students when due dates are and is always happy to help! I loved taking her class because she made it a stress-free, fun learning environment. I highly recommend her classes!
Kisa is one of the best professors I've ever had! I would consider Kisa not only the best person but one of my friends! She is teaches life lessons and helps you to feel happy every day that you are in her class. She is welcoming to all. It doesn't matter your gender, race, preference she makes everyone feel welcome and loved!
Kisa is literally the best. Yes, she is an incredible professor but she is also an incredible person. She genuinely cares about her students. I don't know how I would've gotten through my first semester without her support. If every professor was like her I would never have to worry about not doing good in a class.
Kisa is an amazing teacher, I love her class and actually look forward to going. She cares more about her students than any other professor. She is the kindest person and has such a fun personality. Her class feels more like friends hanging out and talking than an actual lecture. I wish I could have Kisa's class every semester.
Kisa is an incredible professor!! I loved her class so much and you can tell that she really cares for her students. Kisa will always reply to your emails immediately, and is super good at using real life examples in her lessons. This was most definitely my favorite class I took this semester. (very easy homework assignments as well)
Kisa is THE best teacher I have ever had in my life , like she goes out of her way to make your day and put a smile on your face!! I would want her to teach every single class I had if I got to choose, she feels like an aunt to me lowkey, our class just feels like a big family who let each other be themselves and accept everyone
I loved Kisa she is an amazing person and I learned so much about health comms! she is clear about what is expected through the semester she always says "I'm not going to assign anything I wouldn't have wanted to do as a student" so her assignments are applicable and fun! I had some crazy life stuff happen this semester and she was so understanding
Kiss Smith is by far the most welcoming professor I have had, and as a freshman that was very important to me. She cares about each of her students academic and social life as well as how we are doing mentally, physically, and emotionally. Her call is always my favorite part of the day and I have learned so much from her.
Kisa Smith has by far been one of my most influential teachers here at DSU. She encourages greatness and success. She is easy to talk to, and what I love is she genuinely cares about the material she is teaching. The class is easy when you throw yourself in and soak it all up. I wish I could literally take every class from Kisa, no joke!!!
I loved Kisas class! I took two classes from her because the classes were so fun and she really is the best teacher! She is super easy to contact and makes every assignment fun! I would highly recommend taking any course from her!
Kisa smith is one of the most caring, respectful, best professors any college student could ever ask for. Shes so sweet and is always there for you when you need her!! Loved taking this class!
The best professor I have had hands down! She truly cares about you and how well you succeed! I would take this class over and over again if i could
Having taken a couple classes from Professor Smith, she has definitely been one of my favorites. Her teaching style created a very healthy learning environment and made me want to be in class and participate with my classmates. If you get the chance you should take her classes!
Kisa Smith is the best professor I have had. Not only is she a passionate educator, but she also has a passion for caring for her students. I had a roommate who was in the hospital for a large chunk of the semester. Kisa offered all kinds of support to not only me but my roommate. I am beyond thankful to have a mentor in my life like her.
Kisa is one of the best professor's i've had. It was my first semester at Dixie and I didn't live St George and she was super understanding when it came to class attendance. The flipgrids were a fun way to spice up discussions and the quizzes were easy and enabled students to add their own opinions in.
Oh my! I absolutely love this professor! She is so amazing and gives the best presentations! Everyone in the class absolutely loved her! She is genuinely engaged and cares about each student. She is easy to get ahold of and want the best experience for each student. She is so inspirational and I loved her lectures! Take this class! You'll love it!
Ugh! I love Kisa! She is seriously the best professor I have ever had. She cares so much about what she teaches and she is such a good human. I wish I could take every single class from her. She cares more about us learning than grades and I really appreciate that. I have learned so much from her class and she is amazing.
Kisa is the best Professor I have ever had! Kisa is so great that she gives all of her students her number so they can text or call with questions. She is super helpful when it comes to questions and is an overall great person. I would highly recommend taking a class with Kisa Smith.
This is my third class that I have taken with Kisa Smith! The first time I took a class with her I was so pleased with the level of kindness that came from Kisa. She has been such an influential teacher in my time at Dixie State! For anyone who is wondering if you should take a class with Kisa, DO IT, she is absolutely amazing!
One of the best professors I have ever had.
Kisa truly cares about each of her students. She makes class and lectures relatable and fun. Kisa's assignments are helpful and allow us to be social with our classmates. She is extremely flexible and willing to help students with whatever issues they face. Hands-down one of the best professor's I've ever had.
Kisa genuinely cares about every single one of her students! She knew my name and even knew it was my birthday! Her class lectures were very interesting and the discussions we would have in class were very insightful.
Shes my favorite teacher Ive ever had! I wish she taught all my classes. I could go on and on about all the things I love about her, but one of my favorite things is how much she cares about her students. Shes helped me through so many situations (that arent even related to her class!) and shes become a true friend of mine! I will miss her!
An incredibly caring and kind professor. It's a normal amount of work and she is very willing to work with you if you need it and is very open to whatever you need to pass. Amazing teacher and person!
As previously stated. Kisa is a true gem. She has been my professor for more than one semester and her class is one of the few classes I anticipate going and prepare myself for a great class. She is so open to her students and wants to provide us the best education possible. She has a heart of gold and I am fortunate enough to be her student.
Kisa Smith is a wonderful person and translates that characteristic into her teaching. She is fair, informative, friendly, and really wants to see her students succeed. Just a heads up though: if you take this course, be prepared to make lots of videos of yourself for assignments.
Professor Smith is one of the best professors you will ever have! She is super kind and really wants you to do well in her class. No matter what you are majoring in, TAKE a class from Professor Smith! My favorite classes I have taken so far have all been taught by Kisa!
I loved taking my communications class from Professor Smith. Her assignments were fun and easy to follow along. I took her course online and I loved the different formats that she used compared to my other online professors. She always emailed me back quickly if I had any questions about anything! I would definitely take another class from her!
Kisa is the absolute best! The class applied to what is going on in the world right now. She did a good job applying what we were learning in the textbook to the world's current situation. She also is super caring and gets to know each of her students. Learned a lot and had a lot of fun in this class!
She is one of my favorite professors. I have taken two of her classes and they are amazing! She is very helpful, funny and I am so happy I had her as a professor!
Such an amazing professor that has a lot of valuable information to give ! Loved taking this class and making a bond with everyone in the class. What a great way to learn how to communicate and speak with others. She is super caring and is super funny! always has the cutest power points and the most amazing lectures.
Kisa is fabulous! Her class is so fun, and I took a lot from it! I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to learn in such a fun environment. I feel like the whole class put effort into participating, which resulted in a connection between us all! 100/10 recommend!!
Kisa was a phenomenal professor. She did not micromanage us with hard deadlines. We were able to work on the class at a pace that fit each students needs differently. She said everything is due by this date and its up to you to get it done. There was a ton of great topics thats we worked on. I really enjoyed this teaching style!!
Kisa is a very sweet professor. She really cares about her students and wants them to succeed. She has a very bubbly personality and tries to involve her students when teaching. This class was an easy A for me. This class was nice because it didn't stress me out. I would definitely recommend taking any class from Kisa.
To start, Professor Smith is an absolute delight to learn from. Now, let's go into the course. If you show up 90% of the time (at least), you easily could get 100% in this class. She is heavy on class participation, but light on homework. There were two simple essays during the semester, and the class textbook is free online.
Kisa is seriously one of the best professors that I have ever had. She is so helpful and considerate during COVID, and she is super understanding of anything. She feels like just as much of a friend as a mentor! Her class is super interesting and the material is applicable to life. I highly recommend taking this course!
Kisa is such an amazing professor, If you have the chance to take a class from her
Kisa Smith is amazing. She has real world experience. She cares for her students and created interpersonal relationships in her classroom. She has interactive lectures that help you understand the material. Probably the best professor I have ever had.
Kisa is such an amazing professor. I have had a really rough semester and she has been so accommodating for me. It was easy to get ahold of her for any questions too! I love this class and especially loved Kisa! The campaign was a little out of my comfort zone but Kisa made it really easy to make!
Professor was very kind. Class was 100% online, but she was willing to do zoom meetings to check in and make sure that students were on task and understood what was expected for large assignments.
I have only the best things to say about Professor Smith, even though it was an online class I felt easily connection to her. You can tell she wants each of her students to be successful, and cheers everyone on. My favorite professor at DSU!!
Oh my goodness this professor is one of the best!!! She is extremely accessible outside of the classroom and extremely understanding. Everything that she teaches she has a good explanation for and is willing to help with whatever you need. If you struggle with a project, just email her, and she'll tell you how to get full points. 100% Recommend!!
She was very cool and her assignments were very clear. I would definitely recommend her class if you want a class that's not over whelming.
Kisa is a great professor that truly cares for her student's success. Through discussions and quizzes, she is able to encourage more thought going into issues being discussed. She is great at answering questions but you'll probably hardly have any because her instruction is always clear. Not an overwhelming course and enjoyable.
Kisa is hands down my favorite professor at dixie state! She is always going out of her way to help out her students! I loved taking this class and the projects were so much fun! 10/10 recommend taking
Kisa is great! If it wasn't for her classes my experience at Dixie State would be very poor, but she made it much better!
Kisa Smith cares about her students and makes sure they understand everything. She is very easy to talk to when you have a problem or don't understand something. What I liked most about her was how passionate she is about teaching and making the class interesting.
Kisa truly is passionate about Health Communications and makes this class inspirational. She has a way to boost confidence, and spark excitement within her students. There were many times I reached out with questions, and she is very quick to respond, even giving her personal cell phone number out to be able to contact at any time.
This class is awesome, if you ever have to take any communications class, you need to take it from Kisa. She's so fun and this was such a fun class! 10/10.
Kaisa was such an awesome teacher. She was easy to get a hold of if you needed, she gave awesome feedback on assignments, she noticed when you went above and beyond, and she genuinely cares about her students, their lives, and wellbeing. I cannot recommend her enough!
Kisa Smith was one of my favorite professors! I took her online class and it was great. The objectives and assignments for the week were very clear, and she posted videos to help us understand everything. Most everything was out of the book so make sure you have it.
This class was by far my favorite class I have ever taken at DSU. The professor was AMAZING and made this class so fun. You learn a lot! This professors assignments were so much fun and I wish I could take this class again. 100% recommend this professor and class!
This professor was amazing. She cares about her students so much and always offers help. She also provides great lectures on power points. This professor really cares about her students and is the sweetest person.
Love Professor Smith!! She is so caring and helps you so much when you need it!!!
She is overall a good professor, I will say grading is a bit harsh sometimes, and the feedback isn't always helpful. I would take a class from her again, but now that I know the kind of professor she is, and what she is looking for it is much easier to get a good grade than at the beginning of the course.
This professor cares about her students and their success within her courses. She gives you a great outline of how to do well in her class! I wouldn't say the class was "easy" but if you do what is needed of you and keep up with your work you will do fine! Very interesting course that makes you think. Papers, discussions, projects, etc all included
Kisa is the funnest professor! She is literally the cutest! She is so passionate about Interpersonal Communications because it really is so important in our everyday lives. You know exactly what is expected from you from the first day of class, everything is pretty straight forward. I would definitely take Kisa again!
I chose to take the course online, it was rather easy. You are given one to two assignments every Sunday. There aren't a ton of assignments in the course.
What can I say that hasnt been said already! Kisa is a great professor that sets the bar very high. Her assignments are straight to the point and while attendance was not mandatory, I feel sorry for those who missed her amazing lectures. A kind and caring professor that I will miss very much. 10/10 would take again.
Probably the best professor Ive ever had. Not just a teacher, but a friend to all her students. Always looked forward to her class.
Kisa is hands down the best professor at dixie. I boast about how much I love her any chance I get! No matter what your major is, TAKE A CLASS FROM HER! she is the most caring and helpful professor ive had. Wishing I was a comm major just so I could take more classes from her. especially for an online course, she is the best!
This was my second class with Professor Smith, and she is such an amazing person to learn from. She knows her information, but also treats her students like family. One of the most genuine, compassionate teachers at DSU. If I could take a class from her a third time, I would.
Kisa Smith is honestly, one of the best professors I've had at Dixie. She's super motivating and engaging. She's made Public Speaking a really enjoyable class. She gives good feedback and lots of opportunities to be successful. Would recommend to anybody looking to take Public Speaking. Take it from her. Make sure to keep up with readings.
Professor Kisa has been my favorite Professor I have ever had. She made me what to give speeches. It became second nature to feel more confident in my every speech. She is honestly so kind and you can tell she has so much love for each and every one of her students. While online learning is difficult, Kisa always did it with a smile on her face! <3
Mrs. Smith is an amazing teacher! She is so kind, and gives such positive feedback that is always so helpful. She has gone above and beyond in a lot of cases for us as students, and made our class easy, fun, and educational. I'd take a class from her any day of the week! :)
I have LOVED this class from Professor Smith. She is definitely one of my favorite professors that I have had since being here at Dixie State. Even though I am in an online class, she makes it fun by having us interact with the other students in class! She gives great and helpful feedback on assignments and truly cares about her students.
Professor Smith is the best ever! I took her COMM 2110 class this semester as a credit. Best decision ever! She managed to make an online class feel as if we are all together! The course material is great itself as I learned so much I take into my daily living but the teacher can really make a difference. Which is what she does. Awesome teacher!
Professor Kisa was the best! I learned so much in this class, and was never swamped with homework. It's basically a DB post + short quiz each week, and then two papers(: LOVED this class!
Professor Smith was super energetic and fun even though I took her online class. She always answered my questions super quickly and was sincere to me.
Professor Smith is my favorite! Im a Communication major and her class has been the most enjoyable Ive taken this far! Her out of the box thinking creates a learning atmosphere that is welcoming and encourages relationship building amongst students. Definitely take a course from heryou will not regret it! #BestExperience
Kisa is an amazing professor, who has a great deal of energy and passion towards her subject. She picked up my class two weeks into the semester, which added to her workload and she handled it with great ease! Would Highly recommend her!
Professor Smith was a really good professor to take this course online with. If you are forgetful, you might not really like this class as there are weekly assignments(quiz and discussion board)They are very easy though if you do the reading and obviously dont forget about the due date!
I have enjoyed taking communications from Mrs. Smith because of the flexibility of her class. With the busy Schedule I have I was referred to take this class online because it would be good for my schedule as well and be beneficial.
I took her online class and it was my favorite class for the semester because it was easy and fit into my schedule. It was real life situations being learned and the professor made it 10x funnier. Would definitely take again
Kisa Smith is a caring prof who is there for you! She is enthusiastic and made this class fun! This course made me think internally and was easy as long as you participated weekly in the assigned discussions.
Kisa was amazing! She treats her students like family. She understands we have other things outside of her class so she doesnt put a huge work load on us throughout the semester. There were quizzes on the chapters each week (open book) and we didnt have a final or midterm. Instead we had an essay for both.
Kisa was the kindest professor I have ever had. She is very responsive to my emails and always seems bright and cheery. I took this course online, however to was very involved, sending us bright cheery messages and always willing to help. Her quizzes were not hard, and we had a weekly discussion that was actually a lot of fun!
I LOVED PROFESSOR KISA'S CLASS! Even though it was online, Kisa made an effort to connect with her students. The class material isn't difficult and the material is actually useful in everyday life. Kisa always replied back to my messages so quickly and you can tell she cares so deeply. Take this class by Kisa!!!!
I took Smiths class online. This class was a very interesting class. I enjoyed it a lot. Smith responds to messages and emails very quick and is super sweet! The discussions in class posted through canvas are very fun and entertaining. I overall liked this class and would take it again.
Kisa is the best teacher, she is so warm and caring and is all about helping the students. The class was super easy, just post your work and you should be just fine. She is my favorite teacher, definitely take her class if you can!
Kisa is one of the nicest, easy to talk to, and inspirational professors. Her class is very easy but you still learn what you need to learn. There is only a short discussion and open book quiz with no time limit every week. There are no exams in this class. Only a short 2 page paper for both the midterm and final.
Prof. Smith is an excellent instructor in my opinion. She radiates and remind us of the prevalence of the material and she understands that said material can be difficult to understand at times. She encourages and welcomes her students to ask any questions in a way that I can confidently say works. I can walk out having learned something I needed.
Ms Kisa is amazeballs! No exams, weekly quizzes & discussions, 2 papers (2 pgs min). She's passionate about teaching communications & she's always willing to help! Half of the semester we submitted discussions, but the last half we had the option of doing the discussions on zoom in place of submitting one. 10/10 would recommend!!!
I thought that Professor Kisa Smith was passionate and knowledgeable in her field. She was helpful in the class and was easy to get ahold of to answer questions. She replied quickly with answers to questions.
Professor Smith is an amazing instructor! She has clear expectations, a fun personality, and truly cares about her students. She is available to discuss needing help in her class, or even if you just need a listening ear one day. Even with taking an online class, she was active and available all throughout the semester.
Professor Smith's online class was well structured and easy to understand. She was so great to respond to any concerns I had quickly and with clarity. She posted cute instagram stories and reels based on our readings. Her zoom discussions were fun and engaging. She was also sensitive to some of the subject matter that may be triggering to some.
Professor Smith was great! She was always there if you had any questions and was very clear about assignments. As long as you turn in everything on time you should be good so make sure you have good self control! I would totally take this class again.
Kisa Smith is a great professor. Her class is pretty straightforward and is very enjoyable.
Kisa was an amazing communications professor. I took her online class and would 100% recommend it to anyone considering comm. She is super sweet, her class is well structured, and as long as you do her quizzes and discussion forums it should be an easy A!
Kisa is such an amazing professor! She has such a bright and caring personality. The course was very well structured, and material was very useful in everyday life. Although it was an online course, she does a great job making it feel very inclusive! I really loved this class, if you ever get the chance, definitely take a class from her!
I really loved taking this class. Not only did my professor engage with us as much as she could, but she made it fun. You could clearly tell that she loves to teach, and she's amazing at it. I really appreciated that she gave optional zoom classes, and you were allowed to participate in discussions if you didn't want to do a zoom class.
Volunteer work of 10 hours, two 2 page papers, weekly open book quizzes & discussions. Original post is 250+ words /2 replies of 150 words--takes 3-4 hrs. The textbook's included. There is work over holidays, can turn papers in early. Her syllabus 'bullying' comments are scary but she's not. Full points given if grammar is correct. Nice class!
Best professor ever so kind hearted and seems like she actually cares would take again in a heart beat. Made me actually sort of enjoy public speaking.
Kisa is a good professor, she is super nice and energetic and she likes to post videos about the criteria to help you learn alongside the textbook. Just take notes and stay on top of your work and you'll be fine. Not much work but no late work accepted.
Definitely recommend Kisa Smith as your professor! She is so nice and caring for her students. Not a lot of homework, just do your weekly assignments and you'll do great!

Kisa was an honest professor. She was straightforward in letting you know her expectations. If you are not one who likes to read and take quizzes on your own, this class is not for you. Otherwise she was great at responding to emails quick and answering questions you may have about the online platform of learning and her assignments.
Principles of Mentorship changed my life. This is an awesome course and Kisa is an amazing teacher! There are pretty strict deadlines but she really cares about her students and grades you fairly based on how much effort you put into your work.

I highly recommend this class. If you want an smooth and well rounded professor, take Smith. She is great with communicating with the students.
Even though it was an online course Smith was VERY great about actually communicating with us, wanting to get to know her students and wanting us to get to know each other! She gave great feedback, you have to make sure to keep up on assignments.
Professor gives good feedback, is fair in grading assignments. Turn in assignments on time with your best efforts and you will easily pass this class.
Every week we had a quiz and then either a discussion board or a speech due and that was it for homework scamming the textbook for info and then taking the quiz was around 20 mins either doing the discussion or writing and doing the speech was around 20-30 mins it took me less than an hour to do everything for the class each week and i was done!
I loved Kisa's class. She is very kind and has clear grading criteria. There are weekly assignments but they all draw from real life so it is actually applicable. Definitely recommend taking a class from her.
I have taken Kisa for other classes and love the way that she teaches. Even though this is an online course, you never feel neglected and she always responds to emails very quickly. She gives great feedback when it comes to your speeches and even adds plenty of extra credit opportunities
Kiss is very clear in what she wants and if you do it her liking you will be fine. This class requires effort and attentiveness
Professor Kisa was great! I took this class online and everything was organized very well. You have an assignment and a quiz each week which was very doable. Feedback was awesome! Definitely recommend taking this class.
Kisa made this online course enjoyable and fun to participate in!
Professor Smith is one of the nicest professors you will ever have. It is clear she loves her job and also her students. She finds unique and beneficial ways to teach the topics and is just generally an amazing person.
This professor was professional and easy to communicate with. She responded to emails quickly and was very easy to work with as long and you responded promptly before things were due. I truly believe professor Smith is here to help students succeed in class and in life. I will be taking other courses from her.
Kisa is the greatest professor! She works hard to provide an inclusive and supportive learning environment for all students to thrive. I have taken as many classes from her as I can. My absolute favorite professor!

I would definitely recommend taking professor Kisa.
Professor Smith is my favorite online professor! Not only does she pull off a communications class ONLINE she does it and makes it fun and actually informative! She always welcomes your feedback and is very understanding.
I have had to privilege to take multiple classes from Kisa, and each time I have had a positive experience! I wish more professors made you feel the way Kisa does, you feel valued as a student and as a person! I loved taking classes from her!
Kisa was awesome! I wasn't sure what this class would be about, but I learned a lot and will use the knowledge into my daily life! I only have great things to say about this course, and Kisa as the professor! She is the best!
Professor Smith is very honest and straight forward her assignments are not very difficult but is just checking to verify you read the material. The course is discussion-based so participation is vital. If you do your assignments you will get an A. If you have any questions Professor Smith will be more than happy to help. Very little to no test.
Professor Smith was very outgoing and she just has this positive attitude. She is very enthusiastic. The two text that were needed for the course was affordable but they were essential in the course.
Professor Smith is friendly, interactive, and engaging. I took her class to fill a full-time schedule for my scholarship. I honestly didn't expect to learn much from the class because I didn't think that it would be something I'd find interesting/engaging. I was proven wrong! It was fun to explore the subject and actually learn something.
This professor was easy to get ahold of and was willing to work with you. This was my first online class like this and it wasn't bad but just different. You almost forget you have a teacher until she reaches out with a canvas message or something like that. Overall she give you good feedback and is there when you need her.
Great professor! She gives great feedback so you can work on your public speaking skills. She is very supportive and wants all of her students to succeed.
Professor Smith is AMAZING!!! By far one of my most favorite professors at DSU. She does an incredible job at connecting with the students and does NOT make your feel like she is better than you. She is very organized and on top of everything. She also expects hard work from her students and this helps the class feel fulfilling.
Very outgoing and friendly! If you participate in this class you will have no problems doing well.
Professor Smith has the biggest heart and shows her love in apparent ways. If you communicate with her about assignments and any questions you have, she is understanding and willing to work things out with you. Trust her, and dive into her lectures. She's smart and provides plenty of resources to be successful.
They are helpful and caring and have clear directions. Ask questions and she will help you.
great professor
Easily one of the best organized and thoughtful professors I have had at DSU (or anywhere). Excellent choices for the "textbooks" that are real-life books that are useful to not only this class but to life. She is clear with her expectations and doesn't "sweat the small stuff". I cannot recommend her enough!
Professor smith was a great instructor. The discussion based responses really allowed for students to stay engaged with the class.
She is great! Easy assignments! Highly recommended taking this online. She provides feedback that is really good! Loved it!
Kisa is an awesome professors. I came into this class not confident at all in my speech ability but after taking this course I have a ton more confidence with writing and presenting speeches. I would highly recommend taking a class from her.
Very inspirational class. David L.
Professor Smith is a very caring professor with an optimistic personality and has a willingness to help others. Her instructions for assignments on canvas are very clear and she makes it very possible to succeed. If I had a question, she was quick to answer and give me a solution. Her videos she posts in the course are very happy and fun.
Really outgoing great professor!
Good assignments, fair grading with good feedback, not too hard of a class.
Fun speech topics and lots of good feedback.
Professor smith is fun, exciting, well organized, and guest speakers were awesome!
Professor Smith is knowledgeable, pleasant, and has high expectations of her students. She is very accessible, doesn't fall behind on grading and provides an illuminating experience on the subject. She uses a variety of teaching methods and is responsive to students. I would love to be in her class again!
Professor Smith is hands down a favorite professor. Time goes by quickly in class as she engages her students. Althought there was a lot of reading, the information was intriguing, relevent and applicable. I want to reread them on my own to master the principles. You won't regret taking ANY courses taught by the amazing Professer Smith!
Professor Smith is awesome! She is a teacher that actually cares about students, and actually demonstrates that care. In my summer course, she was flexible with the course and tailored it to our class' needs. While she does care about students and respect their opinions and thoughts, she isn't a push over and will shoot down bad or lazy ideas.
Kisa Smith is a great professor who truly loves to teach and cares about her students. She is very approachable and available after class. I have never taken a class that felt so engaging and I truly enjoyed taking. Her style of teaching is very engaging and takes time to present well thought out material.

Professor Smith is absolutely amazing! She was always very on top of things including grading, and sending emails and announcements. I love how her class is organized. It is very much based off of working at your own pace other than the speeches every other week. She is so kind and you can clearly tell she really cares about her students!
Professor Kisa really cares about her students. This was an online public speaking class, and she took the time to provide very good feedback on each speech we had.

This class was great! I learned a lot about public speaking. We would have speeches every other week, and she was very clear and helpful with the rubric. She gave the best feedback! Her personality is very bubbly and likable.
This class was a lot of fun! I was super nervous about talking in front of a group of people, so I resorted to taking it online, and I am happy I did. You post your speeches in a discussion thread, watch two speeches from your peers, and comment on them. Overall, I enjoyed this class a lot!
I absolutely loved Professor Kisa Smith's class! She was very good at giving feedback and creating a positive environment. If I had questions I was not afraid to ask her for help. I would definitely take another one of her classes. She is the best!
Professor Smith provides helpful feedback and genuinely cares about her student's success. If points are docked from an assignment she explains why and also explains how you can improve. I am not a big fan of public speaking but I learned a lot from this course and really improved my public speaking skills. I would recommend this course & professor
She was awesome! Cared about her students and offered a clear outline of what she expected to see throughout the semester. Loved this class and would highly recommend this professor.
Kisa has been my favorite professor since starting at UTU. She very clearly outlines her expectations and is willing to work with students. The work load was nothing crazy and very manageable, and I found the assignments to be purposeful and I actually got take-aways for real life in this course.
This was my favorite class and professor this semester. The class has the perfect amount of coursework so that you can take something from the class, but not be overwhelmed with material. She gives great feedback that you can use for your upcoming assignments. She gave me confidence to do better in my speeches by talking about what I did well.
I would recommend Kisa as a professor! She knows what she is teaching and she wants the best for all of her students. When turning in my speeches she always follows up with great feedback! I can count on her to respond back in a timely matter if I have questions or concerns. She is Amazing!! One of my favorite professors that I've had.
Professor Smith was very organized throughout the semester and her assignments were very easy to follow and complete. She graded assignments quickly and gave quality feedback on things done well and items that could be improved. I would recommend this class to peers and I felt like Professor Smith did a good job teaching the course.
She made this class super easy to get a good grade in. Very glad I had her as a professor, I feel like some other professors might have made me do a lot more busy work. Also her videos are entertaining.
Kisa is literally amazing! She is so prompt with responding to us, and gives amazing feedback on our speeches! I highly highly recommend taking her, she helped me so much to be a better public speaker11:):):)
Expectations for all assignment were very clear making it easy to do well as long as you follow them.

I liked how she gave back lots of feedback to be successful in her class. She is very kind and makes public speaking fun!
Great professor! Would have bi-weekly check ins with the class, has awesome feedback on all speeches as well!
She is very understanding and great with the students especially is you reach out, just stay on task and you'll receive a good grade.
As long as you do the speeches which there aren't a ton and turn then in on time and do the textbook quizzed which she gives you all semester you'll do good. Listen to the feedback she gives you and others. Don't procrastinate on speeches because there is no late work. Overall good teacher who loves and wants to help students succeed.
Professor Smith was amazing! The speeches were all spaced out in time from each other, and she graded them very quickly after. Her feedback was very helpful, and she was a fair grader.
Kisa is pretty awesome not gonna lie. Somethings that I liked was there aren't any finals, quizzes are due at the end of the semester and you can take them as many times as needed, and the grade is fully on your speeches. Doing online speeches was pretty weird at first, but it got easy by the end. Easily the best teacher for the job!
Professor Smith is an amazing teacher who is always available to help you succeed in the classroom and in life. She grades decently hard, but only to help you improve as a speaker and gives great feedback on how to improve.
Kisa is such an awesome professor! She can be a bit of a hard grader when it comes to the speeches but she leaves lots of feedback so you know what to improve and work on for the next speech.

She is a great teacher and keeps things very interesting! It was fun to participate in it!
Kisa was amazing! She gave the best feedback on speeches, the best feedback I have gotten so far in my college journey. Throughout the semester the speeches are the biggest part of your grade, but I feel as if Kisa is a very fair grader. I totally recommend taking comm 1020 with her!
She is a very good and understanding professor that I would definitely recommend
