She sucks ass. Never take her for a summer class especially. You have some sort of work due everyday and she never explains herself clear. She won't help if you ask either. I never missed one day of class and always paid attention, but I ended up with an 89 and she wouldn't raise it to an A. ****!!!

WORST TEACHER EVER!!! I have always done well in speech classes, but she makes delivering a speech SO MUCH DIFFICULT! It's more of a computer class than a speech class...IF U WANT AN EASY 'A' FOR SPEECH, DO NOT TAKE HER, specially if you are black, mexican, or indian!!!!!

blech! do not take her, unless u want 2 learn from an arrogant lady who thinks everyone except her is wrong.

worst teacher at eastfield!

she wants you learn stupid speech stuff the hard way! tons of work to be done! in the end, she gives u a VERY low grade for final (i got 10% and i was highest in my class) which made me get a final grade of B...I DO NOT RECOMMEND HER AT ALL!!!!!

Any question we asked her was answered with look in the book/syllabus-also she expects you to summarize almost the whole book(which is about common sense things and stuff we learned in highschool)this is a big part of your grade. If you've ever spoken against her it's likely you may see it in your grade with little explination.bad grading system.

she is horrible...if you want a low gpa take her class she won't hesitate to fail you

I did everything required on my demonstration speech but she gave me a B. This one group did not follow the guidelines and it was not even a demonstration speech in the first place, but got an A. I think she plays favorites.

I'm not a slacker nor do i want the easy way out. I did all the work just as she said and i had some very good presentations but that doesn't matter at all. If you can do mindless work and can put up with her "teaching" method then it's an easy A. But if you cannot tolerate idiocy and feel the need to stand up to it then you won't do well

I agree w/most if you are not interested in her life stories you might as well hang it up, did all of the work but I guess it wasnt up to her standards when I was there. Got tired of all the conversations that went on with her and the students, which was irrelevant to the class so I decided to drop her.

This class was completely ridiculous. The work was time-wasting, busy work. She is loud, rude, and extremely obnoxious. They way that she does things makes absolutely no sense at all. I hated coming to class. I felt like I would rather stay home and beat my head against a wall rather than sit in that Hell for an hour and a half.

Hands down, THE WORST TEACHER I'VE ENCOUNTERED IN ALL OF MY LIFE. Presentations are unnecasarily difficult leaving you to stay up long nights preparing for a speech just to get 40 or lower. (Trust me.) Refuses to give instruction of any kind, her catchprase truly is "Have you looked at your syllabus?". An abomination as a teacher. Prepare to drop.

Carr is and will always be an unfair teacher. She does play "favorites" and if you are not one, then it will be hard to pass. She is extremely unclear and vague when it comes to assignments and I am one of the students that received a B soo.....? I watched her fail HALF of my class. DONT TAKE HER!

worst teacher at eastfield! If you are SMART...Do not take

She has to be one of the worst instructor's at EFC. The work load was overwhelming and I do not consider myself to be a slacker. Do not waste your time or money taking this class!!!

This class is a waste of your time. I spent probably 40 hours out of class completing annoying busywork, and still got a D. Not much of a speech class. It's more like your first semester of english mixed with psychology, and speech. DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR.

I think she is a terrible teacher who grades very hard and does not prepare the student for speeches and exams.

LAURA CARR IS THE WORST OF ALL TEACHERS. SHE DON'T PREPARE YOU FOR TEST! SHE GIVES REVIEWS AFTER YOU HAVE COMPLETED YOUR TESTS! WE HAD TO DO TWO 10 PAGE REPORTS ON SLAVERY MOVIES. (INCONSIDERATE) PLEASE GET TO KNOW YOUR PROFESSORS BEFORE ATTENDING THEIR CLASS. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND ANY STUDENT TO HER CLASS!SHE DOES NOT TEACH YOU SPEECH.

Wow. this Lady is a freaking joke. 10 and 15 page papers over slavery movies. She does not care to help you. She always says, " it's in your syllabus. Ha the stupid syllabus was wrong all over. There is no pleasing this teacher. My class started out with over 33 students attending.... It dwendled down to 5. Never take her unless you want to fail..

Do not take her class. SERIOUSLY dont take it. Only 5 people were left at the end of semester. Has favorites and is no help whatsoever. 5 people were left at end of semester those who were smart dropped her class on time.

Worst teacher ever. I don't normally write comments... but she's that bad.

This teacher is just awful. You WILL be frustrated by her coursework (long essays for an basic SPEECH class?), her unhelpfulness, and her condescending attitude. Tried not to argue with her like everyone else did, tried to do good work, and still failed. Also, don't expect her to tell you if you're failing. "Read your syllabus!" Run. Far. Away.

This teacher is horrible. All I have to say is that she goes based on attendance. I took her course, did all her speeches, presentations, and she still failed me because I missed her class three times in the semester. All I have to say is you better read your 25page syllabus, she drops your grade by a letter for absences

Omg i would not recommend anyone to take her because speech is not suppose to be difficult like she makes it. she is no help u can ask her a question and never gives a straight answer. she gives these packets that u have to print(25 pages or more) and does not explain it. Class started with 30 students and ended with 9.

Expectations are unreasonable and student/teacher communication is unavailable. She is very judgmental and her grading is unfair.

She is impossible to talk to in class she is rude and likes to put her hands in your face she invades personal space at that,all her directions are vague. She will never give you a direct answer when you ask a question. she describes concepts and words using the concept or words in her descrption which does not help at all. i could go on...

R U N away as fast as you can!!!!!

I received an A, but it was so hard! She gave us sooo much homework! She told us to follow the syllabus and if it said something was due on a certain day, then it was due on that day. No exception. Which would be okay if she also followed the syllabus. Things from ch9 was due while we were still on ch5. Went from 30 students to 8. DO NOT TAKE!!!!!!

very unclear and not helpful. her grading process makes it impossible to pass. the smartest person in our class made a C. I did a lot of work for her class and still failed. I am not lazy, This is the first class I fail ever. I am an honors student and took this class because I thought it was going to be not as hard as my other classes.

Do not take her class. She is awful and hard. Very rude professor. Take Dr. Forrest for speech.

This was an extremely difficult course. She always tells her students to look at the syllabus. I feel like there was no teacher/student communication. She is very unclear on her instructions and very vague when she talks to you. If you take her as a teacher you are going to be worrying and freaking out when things are due. DO NOT TAKE HER!!!

DO NOT TAKE HER!!!!! If any other speech class is packed and this is your last options, just don't take speech until next semester. She is horrible, she is very rude. It is basically you teaching yourself.

This teacher offered no assistance other than referring you back to the team you were assigned, who did not even participate. Syllabus was very confusing. Recorded lectures were terrible. You could hear every swallow when she took a drink. Terrible.

DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS if anything, take Nick Vera. Prof. Carr is a really strict grader. If you ask questions she'll refer you back to the syllabus or have you ask your group. She doesn't go into much detail about anything that she teaches, she basically reads right out of the book and then gets confused when students don't understand.

The review below me is completely FALSE. Carr is a horrible teacher. She grades super hard and does not care to help her students succeed. I would recommend taking someone else. Im currently at student at UT Austin right now and i have taken way easier classes here at UT then Carrs class this past summer semester. DO NOT take her.

If there is another teacher available, please take them. I regret taking this class. She is very quick to give out C's and F's and will not tell you what she wants until she's already given you a failing grade for it. She is never clear on due dates nor expectations. Plus, she will literally insult her students then get confused when they're mad.

Yup, read all reviews before getting this class. Unfortunately I did not!!! This teacher is very hard to grade and in not explicit on what you need to do for some assignments. She does answer back quickly to your emails.

Took her class online, asked for help a few times. Wasn't really helped. Had to pay for the class and REVEL(year long access), even though the class was for a few months. Do not recommend her at all.

Ironically, she couldn't "communicate". The speeches assigned had poor instructions, left out elements that would be graded on, and all my questions were responded with "reference the book". The questions were, in fact, referencing the book. I couldn't get an answer. I received emails from other students asking if I knew what she was looking for.

I would not suggest this professor to anyone. It takes days to get a response, normally one without the answer to the question you were asking. Doesn't seem to care. Grading criteria never fully disclosed and when you ask she tells you you should have payed attention and maybe you would know... its an online class.. but ok.

This class shouldn't be taken with this professor. Although it is a communication class, she doesn't communicate but expects that you understand everything. She is honestly just rude. You won't get a direct answer and she will fail you for work that wasn't even yours. If you do take her make sure the grade she gives you is ACTUALLY YOURS.

Worst professor taken at Eastfield College, and I've taken many :( Insults students and then doesn't know why they get mad. Do not recommend at all. Did not read reviews.

Do not take this class, a warning should be enough for the wise.....

Professor Carr is one of THE WORST professors I have ever seen. Have a question? Don't expect an answer besides go back and read your book. Want to have a meeting? Good luck with that, she will blatantly ignore your request. She is 100% unwilling to assist you with anything you may have a question about. DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER!

She didn't teach us. She's very bad at grading, she takes no late work. She piles a bunch of work on her online students

This professor is unwilling to help, instead of helping students understand, she refers to the online documents. She grades on a rubix that is not available online. Although you meet all the requirements on the assignment she grades on what she would do rather than the assignment. Unwilling to adjust grade, she will not admit to being wrong.

Do not take this class!! She can not communicate for anything! When I asked her questions she would go around it and never answered the question no matter how many times I asked. She is rude and complicated. She grades on how she likes it not on a rubric even if it shows a rubric.

She is the worst teacher ever. Idk how she ever got hired she sucks and is a disgrace to all teachers. Shes sucks at everything and she is the rudest of them all.

Directions were confusing. Grading was unfair. She was rude in her responses when I reached out to her.

Worst professor ever! Shouldve picked somebody else instead of this professor.

Im taking her class right now online and shes horrible. She doesnt explain anything and is very rude when you email her when you ask questions. Please save your money and dont take her class, its not worth it.

This professor is rude and seems to grade based on her opinions rather than on a rubric as she should. Takes points off of assignments and marks sections down even when you followed the instructions to a T. Criticizes students HARSHLY and RUDELY. Do NOT recommend at ALL !!

If you're trying to either get the credit or learn something, Laura Carr ain't it! Never met a professor who posts the rubric after the assignment due date and harshly grades! It's quite the intensive class yet you are heavily penalized for things you do not know about. Highly suggest you take another professor.

inadequate ability to teach properly. she cant give clear and consistent instructions (she would literally change the directions right before it was due). would ask an assignment that she asked to be redone. she refuses to use preferred interface! i could not check my grade the entire class.

Worse f*cking professor I have ever had to deal with. She gave me a 1/100 for an assignment that followed all the proper instructions and was turned in on time.

DO NOT TAKE HER! SHE IS NOT A GOOD PROFESSOR AT ALL! SHE DOES NOT GRADE BY THE RUBRIC AND WHEN TRYING TO CONTACT HER, SHE DOES NOT REPLY. I ENDED UP DROPPING THE CLASS BECAUSE I WAS GOING TO FAIL IT ANYWAY! HER REMARKS ON YOUR PAPER WERE RUDE AS WELL. INSTRUCTIONS WERE CLEAR BUT YOUR ASSIGNMENT WASN’T!!!! HOW????

EXTREMELY unfair grading. i had no choice but to withdraw and file grievance. she doesn't care about students. her responses are short and hostile and does not tell you what you did wrong so you dont make the same mistake again. do not take this professor. dont do it to yourself. dcccd please remove her.

Worst professor I have yet to deal with. Grades extremely tough and does not give good feedback when asking for help with assignments. I would not recommend taking this class if you want a good grade. I was asking for help and she totally dismissed my question by giving me unrelated answers. Please be aware

very rude to students

This is by far one of the worst professors I've ever had. She clearly has an aversion to POC. Do not take this class.

the class assignments were easy but she was not a great communicator nor helper. online meeting you could tell she was not interesterd or cared that you were falling behind or had concern about certain things

Not sure how she still teaches here. I had to drop Carr and got a different professor instead. Save yourself the trouble and take Nicholas Vera instead,10/10 recommend Nick.
