I treasured this class! It is one of the most excellent that I have ever taken. I greatly recommend this professor she is vibrant yet down to earth. Enjoy
i love this prof... she makes the class interesting... the class is not hard at all.. just make a decent ppt practice at home and do it exactly how she asks you to do them and your gonna get an A, make sure you dont pass the time limit or make a quick presentation... overall she is cool and funny... take her :)
AAAA+++++ teacher... she is cool and entertaining.. learn really cool and important tips for speech.
She teaches great. makes it interesting for the student. fun activities and projects. no test. only medterm and final! great professor. i learned really usuefull material
Had her for online and there was a lot of work involved two recorded speeches and I must warn she is picky about grading the speeches expects a lot.
Took this class online, great professor! She was very cool about everything and when most of us did bad on the first quiz she helped us and gave us another chance. She also canceled the final. Every week you have to complete a quiz, video quiz and a post. If you read the chapters you'll do fine. Two speeches which are very easy. GREAT CLASS!!
Excellent class! I will definitely recommend her. The only thing you need is follow her instructions and you will do just fine. Took the class half blended and half face to face. It was not stressful a lot!
Good teacher who explains everything you need. If you can follow directions this shouldn't too hard. She likes stuff to be done how she asks and if you don't understand , ask questions! She's easy to talk to and even easier to understand. She's down-to-earth and very open-minded. I enjoyed it.
I took this class online over the summer. The work load was reasonable, 5 discussion posts, 2 video projects, and the textbook chapter exams. The chapter exams had no due date, except they all had to be completed by finals week. No midterm, no final. When you 'like' her Facebook page, she shares interesting posts.
Easy class. 5 Discussion posts that require some thought. If you ony put two minutes into it, she'll give you a grade you deserve. Take your time and get an A. No midterm no final. Two speeches and a project. Should be an easy A. Don't leave chapter exams until the end because those are not hard but are time consuming. Her classes fill fast!
I took this class in the virtual college and it was not that hard. We meet once a week, she gives you the schedule for the whole semester so plan out when you'll do the discussion posts, chapter exams and speeches. There's also a video project that was really fun to do! over all i like her class :)
She is the best teacher. She is very helpful, understanding,etc. She takes the time to read each assignment and is fair with the grades. 5 discussion posts, 14 chapter exams, 2 speeches, and a video project. Love her class and I recommend it 100%. It is not easy but it is understandable and well organized. I got an A and I learned a lot.
Easy. Discussions make sure to put thought into it not just a short paragraph. Follow syllabus for the chapter test so you wont leave it for last. I liked the class. Very fun.
I took the class online and it was really nice because I had time to do every assignment without freaking out and they were also easy to do.
Awesome Professor!! Great Class. Loved this class!All Professors should be like her!! :-)
Just keep up and you won't gave a problem with her grades or assignments.
SHE IS GREAT. SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DING. :)
I took the virtual class. Be prepared to meet all the deadlines and to read all the chapters of the book. You will have to take a exam for each chapter and prepare 2 or 3 speeches. If you feel like you can study on your own this class if you you. You will get support from the Professor if you e-mail her, but mostly you need to work on your own.
This teacher knows what she's doing. I had to re- take this class due to an incomprehensible teacher I previously had. However, retaking this class with this teacher was very helpful, insightful, and I learned a great deal of skills useful outside of school and into the real- world. I would definitely rate this teacher as a must have!
The class was fairly easy and she is a great teacher. She was very helpful.
I took her online and this course was amazing. To me it was worth doing it online rather than at school because I am a person who likes to do things at my own pace. I do not regret taking her! There are two speeches and one final project. There are 10 chapter exams. This professor is very helpful and is there for you.
Great Professor! I personally hated standing up in front of people to talk but she makes you feel comfortable! You MUST go to class otherwise you will be lost, plus it's really fun. Professor Rosen-Gonzalez makes the class interesting! If you do the Discussion Posts, Chapter Exams & go to class you will do great! Highly Recommend!
My Professor was extremely helpful, she even video taped lessons for us and overall is a great Professor.
great professor! i enjoyed and learned a lot in her class!
I loved her class. Extremely nice, especially your when doing your speeches in front class. I reconmend her %100, you wont regret it. Just do all your assinments and show up for class. She teaches alot of interesting things.
Took this class half virtual. Seriously the easiest class ever. You will fall in love with this professor. Very little work to do but i recommend getting started on the chapter tests right away. Do an outline while you read, it helps a lot. If you don't like public speaking just talk to her about it and she will really give you confidence to do it.
I took SPC blended only bc it was a requirement but, I left her class every day feeling like I learned something about LIFE. She's very passionate about what she does and watching her speak makes you admire her. She's clear and concise but she always makes you want to listen. If you have to take SPC1017, pick her!
This professor has to be the best professor I have ever had in general & definitely the best at miami dade college! If you have not taken her, I HIGHLY recommend that you do. There are 2 speeches and a happiness project which I found very interesting. She tells you step by step what she wants on the speech and she is just amazing! TAKE HER!!!
I took this class as a blended online and once a week in class. I thoroughly enjoyed this class and Professor Rosen-Gonzalez is great. She makes the class feel as a community. We all had the opportunity to get to know each other and she made us feel very comfortable when we had to give our speeches. I definitely recommend to take her class.
by far the best speech professor at Dade. i loved her class i loved her as a teacher and as a person. honestly she creates this pleasant and comfortable environment for you. the work is , its mostly on angel its stimulating i liked it. and theres 2 presentations. you should really consider taking this class with Professor Rosen Gonzalez ! good luck
I found professor gonzalez to be really easy going. She knows her material well and there fore explains it well. I was not looking forwars to the class however im so glad I took the class
She's an awesome teacher and loves to bring light to her class. Such patience but also likes to set the rules straight. It was a bit disorganized though.
great teacher. this class is fun, and you learn interesting facts. I found it worth attending. it was an easy A, I highly recommend her, very cool teacher and makes the class fun and interesting. not much work required.
The Professor is a very nice people. She is kind, flexible. I was very afraid at the beginning of the semester, but she gave me support specially on speeches that the class requires. She is a very well guide person and made you feel comfortable and confident in her classes. I recommend her as your speech Professor.
She is a very kind and sweet. She give you confidence and security speaking even you are not a perfect English speaker. She is well guided giving excellent tools that would be applied in our life. I recommend her as your best speech Professor.
I took the class online and it was easy to follow. Great professor!!!
She is very nice and easy to get along with. She made the 2 mandatory speeches for 5 minutes, not scary at all. Her class was interesting; however, she gets off topic A LOT! I've already recommended her to all my coworkers. I'd take any other class she offers.
It was a priviledge to be part of Prof Rosen's class. She has the ability of empowering students. In her class you learn so much while having fun. Great teacher!!
She enjoys what she does and really cares about everyone passing. I took the blended course so attendance is extremely important to her. The work is easy and there aren't that many assignments. She was a great teacher and anyone would be happy to have her.
Mrs. Gonzalez is a great teacher. She makes the class interesting, she used to be a yoga instructor, so she is very calm. She helps her students, and she is very nice.
Awesome Teacher!!! Wish everyone was like her. Learned so much in this class! Don't think about it twice she is the best!
Overall it was a nice and fun class. took it for summer blended. attendance is mandatory since you only meet up 6 times. there is alot of work but easily manageable. 10 online test, 4 discussion post, 2 speeches (we did 1) and a happiness project. Would recommend her, she knows her stuff and will make class feel comfortable for your speech.
Great professor! Took this as a blended course! Most of the work is online as the previous rating says. You can finish all the work in about 3-4 days. She's very nice and she's also a realist. Don't be shy with her because there's no reason to be. Definitely recommend!
Great teacher. Blended summer course. 10 online quizzes. 4 Discussion posts. Happiness Project & 1 speech. Only 6 weeks no time for more. Attendance is part of your grade. She's a good teach and busy in her life so she's in a lot of places in her mind. She cares to make a difference in her students lives and tries to enlighten your mind. =] A+
This class was an "eye opener" for me. Partially online. The assignments was 10 online chapter quizzes, an informative speech, and a final project. Professor Rosen was very professional and informative. I feel like she is very passionate about her teaching. I learned a lot from her. Easy class plus you learn a lot!
Professor Rosen Gonzalez is a extraordinary professor! she is super helpful, her class is supper easy and you could easily get an A if you do the work she ask for. it is only 10 chapter test and the online discussion plus only one speech to which you can chose the topic and one project that you will really enjoy!
She is a great professor. With her, grammar is important. She is awesome!! In her class, there will be: posts, quizzes online, informative speech and a video. Class is fun!! Hard to fail!!
Great professor, gives advice and helps you. She is fun and good with people who are shy like me. She is pretty easy, don't e a slacker like I was.
She's a great professor! I highly recommend, I took a 6-week course only on Mondays and it was easy! Most of the work is online on ANGEL (10 chapter test, 21 day happiness project, 4 discussion posts). The discussion posts are actually really interesting! Just take her, she's awesome :)
I honestly don't know how she has such good reviews. She put up a syllabus on the first day of class and that's all you heard from her until the end of the semester. 4 essays, 1 persuasive speech w/ video and one happiness project. midterm is proctored and not multiple choice but actually long answer questions which she never explained.
Terrible teacher!!! Stay away. VERY EASY but assignments have NOTHING to do with speech. You will not learn anything useful and only spend your precious time in class listening to her blab about herself. Rude and selfish person. The whole class hated her. I have no idea how she got such good ratings.
Virtual courses require 3X the dedication than reg class. Professor Gonzalez is clear on her syllabus is clear of what is expected The material teaches communication from the inside out. If you read the material,concentrate on your essays and watch all of the Videos she post's you are good to go. Keep an open mind and study. I liked this class!
She is an excellent professor! She is really nice and explains everything very clear! You would learn so much in her class and specially at the end with the final project! It is not a difficult class instead is very easy and insteresting ! I recommend her !
She is an excellent professor! Her class is easy and you would earn an A is you do all the assignments and quizes that are really easy . You will learn a lot specially in the final project ! She is very kind and funny ! I recommend her!
If you study and mark due dates on the calendar, you should have no problem with this class. The work seems to be designed to make you THINK about things, like the Happiness Project. The required book material was interesting and definitely about speech! Do work on time and act like adults. If you can't pass this class, it's your own fault.
In all honesty, her class makes you think about life and not all people are ready for that. She tries to reach you on a personal level, in the end the class is easy if you just pay attention to what needs to be done!
This was a good class and she is a good teacher. Very clear on the assignments and when they are do. If you do the work you will pass. Those who didn't do well are ones who didn't do the work. Make sure you watch the videos do the discussion and do the test and projects at the end and you will be fine. She is a good professor and helpful.
Loved this online class! I had no interest in SPC but she made me like it. You have to read a book & watch videos then write discussion posts on it. The exam questions are straight from the book & easy. You have to study for the midterm & have to have read the book. She gives you a heads up on what is in it! Dont be lazy, study and you'll get an A
Only one presentation. Assignments on angel. Class was once a week. The teacher is so much fun. I got a "C" because of not attending on important days and not presenting due to personal issues. She gives you a million and one chances. Awesome professor and truly inspiring assignments.Easy "A" lol. It's harder to get a "C" trust me.
Unfortunately, I failed this course, but it was due to some unforseen events in my personal life. Professor Gonzalez is extremely clear with the calendar and what is due when. She is a very nice teacher and made sure that everyone was informed throughout the course. I will be taking her class again.
Great Professor.She does get a bit off topic but other than that, like everyone has said, if you do what is required, you will pass the class. One class out of the week, 4 discussion post,1 persuasive speech(3-4minutes) and 21 day happiness project. I passed with a C and I'm not complaining. You earn what you deserve.
She is an excellent professor! Her class is easy and you would earn an A is you do all the assignments
To begin, the professor is not here to set you up for failure; only you can. If you are not responsible with being up to date with Angel and due dates your grade will be devastated. Class consists of 4 Discussion posts, Midterm(not multiple choice, but open ended questions), Happiness project and a small persuasive speech. Very easy class! NO FINAL
I took this class thinking that we would help me give a speech but no everything came from the book that made no sense.Only one speech and a happiness project that made my life for stressful than it is didn't help at all. Not a hard class but if your looking for a class that would help you in the future then don't take this class save your money!
Easy. The online course has 10 multiple choice quizzes, 4 discussions, 1 speech and a 21 day happiness project.I received a B was because I didn't study the proper material for the Midterm. The midterm consisted of open ended questions, no multiple choice.Do ALL the work and you will pass, you cannot fail if you make an effort and apply yourself!
The class is easy and she doesnt read from the textbook at all. Class is never boring and she lets the students speak freely about whatever they want. There was only ONE speech all year and she was a very fair grader. She is nice and it is an easy class if you do your work, but attendance is a MUST. I got an A.
Great Professor. if you do what is required, you will pass the class. One class out of the week, 4 discussion post,1 persuasive speech(3-4minutes) and 21 day happiness project.
Before I took this class I had no interest in it but since it was mandatory, I had to. However, the professor style of teaching was simply amazing. The class was not only beneficial for my educational purposes but it was also a great influence on my life as a whole-especially my marriage. I would recommend this professor to anyone.
The fact that people are saying they didn't learn anything are the same people that hardly went to class. One might think going into this class you would learn how to give a speech, but you don't. You will learn how humans communicate and much more. This is an interesting class. Really easy if you do all the work and read everything. Take the class
I enjoyed Ms. Kristen Rosen Gonzalez' class. She was very helpful, provided videos to guide us through the chapters of the Devito Book, and even spoke to us about our reading assignment. I learned so much in understanding communication between men and women. I would recommend Ms. Rosen Gonzalez to everyone, she is the best.
I can not believe the comments people have the audacity to write. The class is simple and easy but very helpful if you put the effort. You have a lot of in class discussions, and watch educational and inspiring speeches. You only have to do one speech, and a happiness project. This class helped look at life in a new way and am glad I took it.
She changed her lesson plan for this term. TEN 25 question online exams, TWO 5 page essays which she grades HARD, TWO 10 to 15 minute presentations with powerpoint which needs at least 5 slides. Miss ONE day of class and you drop a grade point. C'mon professor, it's a 1000 level class, we're not graduate students.
She was very nice and helpful the grade you get is what you deserve very knowledgeable just do all your work and you'll be fine
Took this class online. The quizzes are pretty easy if you read the chapter. the only down side is the professor takes extremely long to grade papers, speeches and she does not reply to emails. Other than that all work is posted from the first day of class so you can get ahead. STUDY what she gives you for the midterm.
Only a research paper, midterm, and a final speech. Attendance is a part of your grade also. Easy A, she is not a tough grader at all. She wants all of her students to interact and pass. She is a great professor, definitely would take her again!
Took for Speech online at MDC. Was easy to stay on top of assignments as everything was spelled out clearly in syllabus. Interesting choices for topics and you choose what interests you. She is helpful and extremely nice. I enjoyed the class. Would take her again.
Wonderful teacher, she will mold you into a better person by the end of the class. All of your classmates will do speeches, and you get to see how everybody is like. It's a beautiful thing. This class is moderately demanding, the teacher has high expectations, so you will work hard on your speeches. Cons, I didn't like her reading assignments.
THE BEST professor I have ever had!! Very motivated into molding her students into wise, productive, and excelling future leaders. Most of her class is her talking and you giving your opinion and interacting. 1 really long research paper on a really interesting book, 1 mid-term (SUPER EASY, just study the review), and 1 final speech of your choice.
I decided to enroll in her class because of how great all these reviews were and i dropped her after the first class. She assigns one VERY important speech and its not even a speech you give to your class. you have to show up at a town meeting and randomly give a speech there and have someone record you... are you kidding?
she is a great teacher.. sometimes absent.. she assigns a journal every week with a different topic and its due at the end of the semester. there is a final exam, but she gives study guide. there is two speech, and they are a little tough, outside of class, but you have fun and enjoy.
You have to attend two city public meetings and talk in the podium it doesn't matter if you find another interesting meeting she likes politics so you have to go there if you want to pass. She talks the whole class of her children and her boring job ( city commissioner). Never use the book. be prepare to hear everyday about politics and see videos
She is a little eccentric but it makes the class so much fun! The assignments and Final are all cake and she's really knowledgeable about politics as well. I highly recommend her!
Prof Rosen is pretty much nonexistent in her online class. She rarely answers emails and when she finally does,she's rude & unprofessional. Now,the online class is easy. Read chapters,discussion posts,quizzes for each chap,only 3 speeches with outlines for the last 2, midterm but no final. To be fair,she's a fair grader and gives A's if you do work
I took her for summer, but she was a good one. I hardly did not use the book, only to find the answer for the final exam study guide. Since this was summer, you submit all your work online, presentation, journals, etc, except for exam. Take her for summer cause is super easy A, if u are shy in presentation. Only did 1 presentation in class.
I can't thank this professor enough for being so life changing. Only class I've ever been excited to attend.
Her classes were never boring, she made her class participate, we would have discussions and we could speak freely. Only 2 speeches. You must go to class, she gives you a grade on that. But besides that, she's great.
Literally just show up and you'll get an A. There's 2 speeches 3 minutes each at the end of the semester, which are easy As. Most of the content is on the online textbook with quizes and journals which can be done on your phone on the app without even reading the material beforehand. just show up to class for attendance and turn things in on time.
I took this class online for the spring term. You HAVE to read all the chapters so yes, you need the book (e-book). There are quizzes, discussions, three speeches (to upload) and two outlines. There is no final, just a midterm. If you do everything, you should pass. I didn't do the mid-term but got mostly A's & B's on everything else and passed.
SHE IS SO CUTE AND AMAZING. She really loves what she does and is so good at it. Only 2 speeches throughout the class. Homework online but its so easy. She is so sweet and caring and it is such an easy but goooodd class. I don't enjoy public speaking but i always looked forward to going to her class. Gooood feedback. TAKE HER TAKE HER TAKE HER!!
Do yourself a favor and don't take her. ALL she wants you to talk about is politics. She makes you attend to meetings. AND she is NOT a fair grader.
I loved this class and Professor González. Shes so sweet and funny! Attendance is mandatory, ONLY downside. Just two speeches and theyre easy if you try! The book is online and thats how you complete your homework due every week, super easy as well. I would take her again and again. Loves what she does and makes you love it, too.
I loved this online class, the coursework was specific and organized along with the instructions. We had to complete our speeches in front of a 5 person audience wherever we liked. Two essays must be written and she is a wonderful grader. Overall, awesome online class. I'd take her again.
She's nice but talks about politics the entire class. We start talking about the concepts and then shes talking about the president. Good prof but talks a lot about politics. As a History Major I don't mind but many will not like it. Point is shes a good teacher and barely gives work. For summer term all she gave us was online hw and a video .
Her classes are very easy, but attendance does count as part of your final grade, so if you miss class you will lose points. Also, if you hate politics, don't take her class, because she talks about the latest political news and shows videos of politicians' speeches for about half of it. If you love politics, then her class is highly recommended.
Her class was great! Discussions, quizzes, 3 speeches, 2 outlines, 1 paper, and a midterm. I didn't really use the online book, everything was straight to the point and wasn't difficult at all. The only problem is that she takes a while to respond to questions.
easy to pass
She is a great professor, only two speechs (informative and persuasive). She is a fair grader (I was really nervous on my speech, kept saying um, sorry etc, and I got a "B"!) Follow your speech outlines! Homework due every week so be on top of your homework!
She is a wonderful human and an AMAZING teacher! I love how inspirational she is and how much of an impact she's made on my spring semester! There is online work assigned every week and only 2 speeches throughout the semester. Super chill, super fresh super fun! LOVED THIS CLASS!!!!!!
I took her class online and although it's an easy A, I would avoid this professor by any means. She's rude and unprofessional, and doesn't actually look over assignments. She goes with what SafeAssign tells her and gives you grades based on that and refuses to acknowledge your emails unless if you email her multiple times. I'd rate her a 0.
lady will not respond to emails you would have to constantly email her her work was average it too hard but if you care about your grade do not pick her she gave me a zero for a video i did do but she lied and said she couldn't see it i have been getting all A in her class it took hell for her to regrade that video she end up passing me with an A
EASY A PEOPLE. Just read the book and dont plagiarise not even the smallest thing. Speeches, outline, test, discussions, essay, and pass. She mistakenly gave me a low grade (not sure why) but I emailed her and she fixed it. Didnt write back but fixed it. Try reaching out another way if email doesnt work����
This is my last semester at Kendall, and I must say this teacher is by far the worst professor I've come across on this campus. She failed almost the whole class for a midterm she hadn't assigned any guidelines or rubrik. She then proceeded to spend the class getting red-faced, and arguing with the class of 18 year old kids over fairness in grading
I took this class blended in the fall and even though all she does is talk about politics and she is a mess this class was easy. All the work was online, we met once a week, one speech and one video project. I didnt like her as a person but for class it was okay.
All she talks about is her campaign, politics, and yoga. Shes super messy but her class is easy. One video project, a speech, and the online homework. Her attitude is the worst and shes super judgy so if you cant take it dont take her class.
I gave her a four only because she does NOT respond to emails. That was my only issue. I am taking her online and the discussions are really easy. She does not really read your assignments so expect an easy A. She gives a midterm but she does not give a final which is good. So yes I would recommend but she is not very responsive. So far I have an A
3 speeches, discussion boards, quizzes, and a paper. Very easy class with very little assignments. The professor doesn't really respond to students and she takes a long time to grade assignments. Other than that, she is a good choice to take this class with.
I like the way she talk but she has a strong personality and she is kind of rude with the students. homework a little bit difficult, you can't procrastinate with it, two speeches and everyday participation in class. Overall is not that bad but not an easy A.
Im taking her for Summer and youd think during this pandemic she would be more helpful but she isnt. She doesnt usually reply to emails and when she does shes rude and passive aggressive about it. She makes us feel dumb for asking questions when she never addressed anything in the first place. Shes ok and this is an easy A class.
I took this professor during the summer semester online due to the coronavirus, and I am not really impressed with this professor. She doesn't really respond to a lot of emails and gets agitated when you do ask for help. Overall the classwork itself isn't necessarily too hard. I would not take this professor again.
Doesn't answer emails at all, so don't waste your time trying to contact her. The class itself is easy, but I found myself in a family emergency where I was unable to submit assignments for a week and I reached out twice without ever hearing back from this lady. It's now been two months, the class is ending and I still have yet to hear back.
She was a good teacher and answered all emails I asked her after class!
The most unorganized class I have ever taken. She does not assign the work. You have to go into syllabus time everytime to see if anything is due. I had a speech and a video assignment. I didn't even know I had a speech until the weekend after it was due. For the video, she requires you to talk to people. I live on my own. I emailed her no response
I had her through this covid situation, we rotated in-person class with online, demands cameras on and WILL CALL ON YOU. She's a good professor in the sense that the class is not hard or work heavy + answers to emails! She may get a little mean sometimes (pushy) but the class is easy, do your work and your good! Get the textbook! Proctored midterm.
For a communication teacher, she is really bad at communicating and takes so long to respond to email and doesn't even answer the question in the email. The class isn't hard, but she isn't a good teacher. She would only talk about herself and her "lectures" were ted talks. Take a better professor. Proctored midterm.
She is an amazing professor. DO NOT PLAGIARIIZE GUYS. it is an easy class as long you follow the instructions listed on the syllabus you'll have a fair grade. She responded to my emails within 72 hours. She is a little though grader, she notices every small thing(explanation) on the paper or outline.
She doesn't answer emails, she's inaccessible outside of class, in class you ask her a question and she ignores you, she's irritated, unprofessional, the exams seem like a master's, she's aggressive and disrespectful to her students, she's rude when it comes to answering.
Professor Rosen was very organized and graded everything very clearly! Class only consisted of 1 persuasive speech outline and delivery. As long as you read the chapters and pay attention in class youll pass the quizzes!
She gives real life examples of the theory. She doesnt stress the definitions so much but prefers that you understand the why of communication. She expects you to come to class on time, participate, and contribute to class. Only two papers and two tests. Plenty of quizzes that help boost grades. Shes an amazing person.
Professor Kristen Rosen Gonzalez is good in my honest opinion. I have taken the class for SPC1017. The class consist of a 2 speech presentation, essay project, discussions, participation, and quizzes and midterm. No Final. Midterm is proctored but is like 10-15% of the grade. The bulk of the grade is from the work you do. Just put in the work
SO annoying. Her voice is so irritating. MAKES you turn on the camera and you CANT be in your room. Calls you out and does not respond to emails. You ask a question during class and she talks to you like if you asked a dumb question. She's so rude and annoying.
During this course semester, in all I learned about just how to be more social when I'm around people along with trying to clear up my sentences whenever I'm presenting my speeches up front to anybody in a classroom or a group. The professor always tries to make sure that I'm clear when saying my speeches including specifications as well in all.
In all for this course, I learned about how to present my speeches clearly anywhere I go along with including specifications as well for topics I'm trying to talk about to people in a group. I also learned how to me more social and presentable when I'm in a new group of people I'm trying to get to know in order to better get along with them.
I have taken speech with other professors and she is the best one by far she is understanding , and very straight to the point . There is no room for miscommunication only if you miss her class she wont get back to you but i suggest you take a Clasmate number not difficult at
She's a sweetheart! the only thing is that she doesn't respond to emails, but her class is super easy, 2 speeches, 2 papers, 1 midterm, 17 bookwork assignments(which she gives you time to do and is super easy) + attendance, pretty straight forward with her grading system, she helped me boost my confidence when presenting my speeches, take her!!
She's nice & somehow didn't make class feel like a lecture but more like a conversation. She'd put us in small groups to present a scenario with the topic given and it was very fun and made us all interact more which we all enjoyed. The homework is super easy just go to class and do the work. 2 speeches to present, all easy. Take her class.
So first day of class I decide not to go in person and go thru zoom. The first day I spent an hour on the zoom meeting tab and she didnt host one. No email nothing from her she drops me from the course. Wasting my entire semester time and money. Every time I enrolled to join her course back she would auto drop me for missing only ONE CLASS. Awful
withdrew me from course after missing ONE single class due to a family emergency on the second week of school, so my transcript now has a big fat W and i didn't get a refund for the class. I would try to explore for courses with other professors but would for sure not recommend her.
I was dropped after ONE absence due to an EXCUSED family emergency and she was completely unfazed by it. Hope she looses her campaigns and never runs for anything again.
Class was really easy. The HW is time consuming. If you miss class more the 2 times she WILL DROP YOU without warning. If you don't stay on top of your assignments she WILL DROP YOU no matter how early or late in the semester. Late assignments are not optional, turn them in on time or early if not you will end up with a bad grade or zero.
had no problems all semester and ended with an A in canvas, then i check the grade book and she put in my grade as an F. other students have no grade showing at all! impossible to get her to answer her email or phone calls to fix this and now i have to go on a mission to speak with the department chairperson. save yourself the trouble
She's not lecture-heavy, instead, she focuses more on getting the students to present. If you want a good grade, pay attention to her feedback, and follow her directions. She wants to see you improve after every speech. However, during speech days, go first, she gets irritable after hearing several speeches and gets more critical.
At first everything was very well in my class I had an A. One week before my semester ended she gave me a D. I emailed her and she said I did not do the midterm which I clearly did. Virtual classes from what I heard are more difficult to correct with a chairperson. She does not respond to emails and does not care at all. Awful experience.
This instructor is completely unreasonable.I missed one class due to illness, gave a doctor's note,and was still dropped.She didn't care about my situation and made it impossible for me to get reinstated, despite following all the proper procedures.Showed zero empathy or flexibility.If a fair and supportive teacher, avoid this class at all costs.
The professor is a sweetheart who makes the class feel like a conversation. Homework is easy, and the grading system is straightforward. unstuck AI was a helpful study tool alongside the free textbook. Overall, a positive experience despite some communication issues.
As long as you submit your homework on time, it's a good class
I took course 2608 but I can't find it. Her class is pretty straight forward. Attendance is key. Meet your deadlines and the class is easy, she gives honest feedback and showed me how to communicate clearly with a point.
Amazing professor, can tell really cares about what she's trying to teach us. Just have your work done on time! Great lectures
I learned so much from Professor Gonzalez and am so glad I took her course. As long as you do your work on time you will succeed. Her classes are interactive, never boring---and her lectures are fantastic.,
Professor Gonzalez is an excellent instructor. Despite some negative reviews about attendance, my experience was positive. After missing one class for a medical emergency, she was understanding and did not penalize me in any way. Attendance is crucial, but if you show up consistently, you'll do well in her class.
She is very understanding and provides great feedback to her students. She is sensitive when it comes to attendance, but just show up, pay attention, and you'll do fine.
This professor is very good. I recommend it. I was very shy and her class make me find interesting the class
She will put you to work but she is very professional and clear with her work.Also, she encourages you to be better.
This professor is strict about getting work done, but leaves great feedback, I think she's fair with the grading.
She was a good professor. I would take her again.
She was a great professor and I enjoyed taking her class in the end.
You have a lot of time to do the assignments, majority of your grade is the speeches you give and showing up for class and she's a lenient grader on the speeches. You don't do any work in class, all you do is just present and then be an audience for the others presenting. if you don't like presenting in front of people then good luck
If you complete all of the assignments and show up to class you can get an easy A.
Mrs. Rosen was delightful. Very caring and attentive to her students. I'd definitely take her again!!
Professor was very professional and given her background and other jobs, she was very well informed in the subject and taught it very well. I really enjoyed her class and would totally take it again.
I did like her! Despite of the tough this class can be, I think it challenges you to be better every time. I really liked it!
Helpful! Respected! Good listened!
Very nice and sweet proffesor and straight foward !
Its an easy class but the professor is a little hard to reach
idk how ppl actually like her. so much hw on mc graw that takes too long. speeches are bs and she wants to have an audience of 5 ppl for an online class btw, thats dumb . IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH, she wants things a certain way but doesnt say how until she gives a grade. I wouldnt take this if anyone payed.
Very tough grader. She makes you do 4 speeches, 2 you have to present in class and she criticizes a lot. There were people who left the class crying after presenting their speech cause of how harsh she is. Personally I wouldn't take her again but other than that the class is pretty easy just do the speeches and the homework and you'll be fine.
The teacher is sweet. She isn't very clear with how she grades things, but she gives good feedback after speeches. There are 4 speeches and some mcgrawhill assignments; workload is bearable.
She is awesome and I learned so much. Everyone should take this class.shenis not an easy grader.
She expects a lot but I also learned a lot. You must be prepared for your speeches.
You have to go to class, she grades attendance. You must also complete a lot of work in the electronic textbook. I would definitely take this class again.
