WONDERFUL teacher! Super nice and very understanding. Will go through anything to help you understand and feel comfortable about making speeches. Lots of notes but they will help u big time on the tests.
I love going to her class and I can get up and talk in front of people now!
The best teacher you can have for a speech class. You only have to do three speeches the entire course. All her tests come from the notes she gives you so you won't even need the book for this course.
Very easy teacher. Makes speech fun and easy. I did good on my speeches and never studied for her tests(did not do so good on tests) but still got a "B".
She is an awesome teacher and i suggest taking her. Super nice lady, and very clear and fun in what she teaches. She's very lenient, and she wants her students to do well. She almost reads your mind and answers your questions in her lessons without you even having to ask them.. weird huh?
She is a very good teacher and she does all that she can to make sure that you do the best you can. Furthermore, she knows that everyone is afraid to speak in front of the class so she does excercises, so that by the time you do your first speech you feel comfortable. So I recommend her TO anyone.
ENJOYS HER JOB!!!!!!! Very fair teacher.Do not need to buy the book.Only 3 speeches.Understands that public speaking is hard and intimidating.Lots of extra credit.Understanding to students goes out of her way to help you.Classes are long,but she does her best. A+++++
Easy class
VERY UNDERSTANDING.FAIR,HONESTLY GETS TO KNOW HER STUDENTS PICKS UP ON STUDENTS POSITIVE SKILLS.HER EVALUATIONS ARE 100 % CORRECT.LONG CLASSES.NO BOOK TO BUY.ONLY 3 SPEECHES.
great teacher,easy class!i did really enjoy it!she is very helpful and tolerant teacher!
She is an excellent teacher that explains her material well and she is willing to help any who ask.
I had a wonderful time in her class because she make the class so exciting and you feel so relax to do your speech, her test are fair and she gives a lot of chance for extra credit points awesome teacher.
I actualy like speeking in front of people. NOW
Prof Escoffery is great. This was my first college class after many years after graduating high school. She is VERY easy to understand and will work with you to help you learn all you can! She definitely is very supportive and understanding when it comes to our natural fears of speaking in front of others. HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!!
great professor!!
SHE IS AWESOME! SHE IS VERY NICE AND UNDERSTANDING. SHE HAS A GOOD MEMORY FOR HER INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS...GROUP PROJECTS/SPEECHES MADE IT EASIER! RECOMMEND TO ALL!
Awesome... excellent teacher. the class is a lot of fun. Prof. makes the class interesting, she is cool, and more than fair in her tests and exams.
Wonderful teacher! She is great at making the class interesting and fun. She gives many different assignments so your grade does not depend on 1 test. You still have to do 3 speeches but she prepares the class in such way that the audience is always great and supportive. It doesn't get any better.
Easiest Speach class that you will ever take. Copy down notes, two quizzes, two tests, and three speeches. He is a very easy grader on the speeches.
What a wonderful personality and a total help when it comes to work outside of class. She offers to review speeches if you email them to her and is more than kind when it comes to interacting with students. Made my spc experience a positive one!
I took prof. Escoffery during the summer A term. Now I work a full-time job at a law-firm, and found it to be slightly intense. 2 of the speeches were literally speech mid term speech final so the last 2 weeks were stressed. Overall she is a great Prof. i was terrified to get up there and she makes you feel slightly comfortable with group work!!!!!
shes a great teacher, i hated getting up infront of the class, now its not bad at all. its only 3 speechs, 2 quizzes, and 2 tests. really easy ifyou take notes, plus she amuses everyone, not boring at all. TAKE HER! easy A if you do what your asked, and practice your speeches.
She is a great teacher. There is alot of work. Three speeches but she makes you feel totally comfortable. For me it was an easy A. I did do all the H.W. and extra credit. Great teacher!! Not boring.
She is the Best!! This class is very intersting, and lot's of fun. You have to do 3 speeches, and she will help you to do your best. ALso she offers lot of E.C. opportunity
she is great!!!!!!!!!!! wish she could teach other class!she makes the class pass by really fast ant details everything she wants, that way you have an A ! don't miss out on her!
This teacher is fantastic! She is quirky, and funny and really knows her stuff. I hate public speaking but she made it less unnerving. She is also very helpful, if you need topic ideas or have format questions. Don’t even bother buying the book all her quizzes and test questions come right from the notes.
I thought this class was terrible. Her teaching was boring. She's a nice lady but she's a little quirky,
She's the best teacher at pbcc!! I love Prof. Escoffery! She'll help you with anything you need. You have to do 3 speeches but she makes them easy by making you feel more comfortable! I put off this class until the last min. for obvious reasons lol but it was a lot different than what I thought it was going to be bc of her. You have to take her!!
THIS WAS AN AWESOME CLASS TO TAKE WITH THIS PROFESSOR. SHE MADE HAVING TO MAKE SPEECHES SO MUCH MORE BEARABLE. ABSOLUTELY GREAT CLASS!!!!!
I loved this class!!! it was alot of fun and i honsetly learned sooo much! She makes you comfortable about giving your speech and is sooo helpful! this class always kept my attention and she gives alot of extra credit opportunity's!!! the test you gotta study a little bit but if you pay attention in her class you'll do fine!
Awesome professor, just finshed this semester with her. She encourages and helps student organize their speeches. Very helpful, exams not difficult she reviews thoroughly.
She is the most understanding teacher has an awsome personality! She explains everything that clear so u don't even need a book. Easy! The only thing you have to do is to copy notes from the board. 3 speaches 3 tests. Do all extra credits and you'll get an A.
She was an awesome professor! I took her for summer A and the class was sooo long so it felt like she would never stop talking but it was a good thing because she gives examples for every topic to make sure you fully understand it. The speeches were very nerve racking for me but i got A's so its not that bad. I highly recommend this professor!Easy
She is nice person but I was given and unfair grade.
I was told that her class would be exciting and fun,it was, however, I did all her extra credits except 3, got good grades on my tests, and met assignments deadlines. She graded my speeches with partiality eventhough I went above and beyond. How I knes she was partial, she gave a friend of mine an A when she did worst than I.
Awesome teacher, lot of fun in the class. Made the class interesting!
Great speech teacher! Gives lots of ex cred & dont even bother buying the book! But the way she grades speeches sometimes isnt fair..you may work REALLY hard on your speech and someone who did poorly will make the same grade as you! VERY frustrting! but overall good class, study for her exams and youll do fine
I agree with the last comment, She favors some students,and grades can be arbitrary on speeches, but her lectures, and classroom environment are great. She wants everyone to succeed, and is always encouraging. You gotta work hard to get an A, ans some harder than others. no wimps in this class.
I disagree with everyone saying she grades unfairly. If you listen to what she tells you, and try and do it yourself, she'll reward you for it! Great teacher! So much fun! Class was a breeze! She's very nice, and approachable.
GREAT PROFESSOR, ALWAYS READY TO ASSIST STUDENTS. MAKES LEARNING FUN/EASY. PLENTY OF EXTRA CREDIT. CHOOSE HER CLASS AND YOU WILL SEE HOW GREAT SHE IS.
She was an amazing professor. She makes class interesting, only 3 speeches, gives you freedom to talk about whatever you want. I feel she was fair, how much work you put in that's what your going to get out. Gives A LOT of extra credit, minimal homework, but should study for the midterm and final. Never used the textbook. She's always available.
She gets you involve and she's involve too,very understanding and helpful. Lot of notes and she review it for the exams. Lots of extra credit. She assist with speech outline; you choose the topics, what else could you ask for, she makes learning enjoyable. Keep up the good work Professor Escoffery.
Mrs. Escoffery is the BEST Instructor that I have ever had since I have been attending school. I took her for the Summer Session A & for those 6 weeks I have enjoyed attending her class everyday. She gives more than enough Extra Credit to pass her class. I would definitely recommend taking her and I wish she was my professor for all my classes.
At first i wasn't one bit interested in this class, but Mrs. Escoffery has a way of making everyday fun and interactive. I'm happy to have had the pleasure of taking my first college speech class with her. The best thing to do in this class is do the homework and extra credit work, you don't even need a textbook. You'll love it I promise!

A great teacher to have! She is passionate and interesting in her lectures and her assignments are easy. She is very sensitive to the feelings of others and will try her best to help students who are uncomfortable with speaking. You don't need to buy the textbook if you take notes in her class. Her accent is awesome.
GREAT TEACHER!!!! Very helpful if you want a good grade and still learn take her you get what you paid for plus more all she asks is you do the work she makes it were everone can pass in one area or more. You have three speeches which she makes fun and four juornals that is it.
Her charisma help you keep focus on the lectures. There's a lot of student group work which makes time fly! She gives opportunity for a lot of easy extra credit. Tests & exams are not too hard. I really enjoyed listening to my classmates speeches. The teacher really chops down the material to make it as easy as possible, fun & enjoyable. Take her!
AWESOME TEACHER, VERY UNDERSTANDING! SHE UNDERSTANDS IF YOU ARE TAKING OTHER CLASSES!MAKES GIVING A SPEECH EASY!
Excellent teacher. She is very passionate about her job, she is very understanding of others, and makes the class as comfortable as possible for you to pass. If you take down her notes you do not need the textbook, and she tells you this the first day of school. I would recommend EVERYONE to TAKE her CLASS!!!
this is one of the best and most understanding teachers. She gives you more than 1 chance to turn in papers and her essays are very easy to do. She loves her job and it shows!
I LOVED HER CLASS...she is sooooooo nice and sweet and Very understanding! she allows you to turn in assignments all the way until the last day of class, very knowledgeable, very funny, great group activities, 3 easy speeches, YOU decide the topics,and she prepares you well for them very Great teacher i would take her over and over again
LOVED HER!! Took summer course. You don't need the book at all and she doesn't require it. She's funny and knowledgeable. Excellent teacher. Not strict at all but if you don't attend class you will not pass (summer at least). Always recommend her to others.
I absolutely loved this class! Ms Escoffery made me want to go to class everyday because the material was so interesting. She really knows her stuff. I learned so much and can really apply what I learned to my everyday life. The test are easy if you take good notes and study and she gives lots of extra credit so do it and 3 easy speeches too.
excellent professor! She is easy, clear and doesnt use the book. the test are pretty easy IF YOU STUDY. :) great professor!
Hands down one of the best!! You will learn, enjoy and ace the class. She is very understandable and knowledgable. Always wearing a nice outfit and a smile.
By far the BEST teacher! Notes:copy everything she writes,journals: write how you feel, a few assignments here & there & 3 speeches! Guaranteed A! She is so reasonable & understanding! Her interaction & passion for what she teaches make you interested. The class easy extremely fun & you receive so much education without even knowing!
She is the BEST professor!! Her class is an easy A. No book required as long as you write all the notes down then you will be fine. 3 speeches, couple of writing assignments, two tests. Super easy!! She is the sweetest professor. I don't think she fails anyone.
Easy A! lots of notes so Attendance is crucial to pass. lots of extra credit which helps the gaps. I don't think anyone fails in her class.
She is an AMAZING teacher!!! I recommend taking her during a short course because her class is not too stressful. I took 3 classes short term and her class was the LEAST of my problems!!!
I was not excited about taking a speech class but she is fabulous. There are three speeches throughout the class but she does a really good job of doing interactive activities and quick group assignments along the way, so everyone gets to know each other. its a lot easier to talk in front of people you know. take notes, read the book, easy A :)
She's awesome!!! I loved her class. Make sure you actually go to class, there is a lot of notes but she makes it fun with group work, funny stories and relates it to everyday life. There are only 3 speeches and she tells you everything you need to know to give a good speech. I wish she taught something else so I could take her again!
This professor is awesome. I came in with such a fear of speaking in front of any audience and by the end of the class, we were all like family. The use of examples really helped in understanding the material. Also, she gives you extra credit work to offset any bad grades to ensure that everyone passed. Very knowledgeable!
OMG! She's SOOO good. I totally recommend her. She is easy, nice, clear and has really funny stories from past classes. Before, I didn't want to take this class, but now I love it!. You won't get bored at this class.
Hated the 3 speeches but actually loved the class and her. Lots of extra credit. this class is great you really get to learn how to communicate effectively with people. Take notes you dont need the book. A couple of quizzes and test but they are all super easy
She is such a wonderful teacher! I took her for speech and I was so nervous but she makes everything so easy. Theres 2 quizes, 1 midterm (that she barely puts toward your grade) 3 speeches, which are the main parts of your grade. She breaks up the Gordon rule 2,000 words into a bunch of assignments so you arent overwhelmed. Totally take her
I've never had a better class. Fun assignments and group work. She gives an extra credit opportunity everyday. Book is not at all required and she tells you that on the first day. Helps you in office or through emails. You can tell she loves teaching. Honestly one of the best professors at PBSC.
At first I did not want to take this class because of the speeches but I ended up loving this class specially the teacher she's so helpful... She will answer an email quickly even on weekends! This class is the easiest class you can take!! And do not worry about giving speeches because there's only 3 and she will help you all the way!!
She is so laid back and understanding when it comes to the nerves most people get with public speaking. She gives helpful tips and also lots of extra credit, you cant fail as long as you put in effort.
Excellent teacher, you will learn how to prepare for speaking to an audience. Very helpful in future professional life. She is very skilled at communication and opened my eyes to many things, she is able to shut down the students that tend to wander off topic and begin to give anecdotes about their uninteresting lives; Highly recommended!
This was a great class. Prepare you for public speaking and the professor was very exceptionally good. Took her for summer A and got an A.
by far one of the best professors I've had at PBSC. So easy to understand, was very helpful from beginning to end. She has a passion for what she does and you could see that which makes the class so much more enjoyable. Really learned a lot, very informative lectures. Always made it fun and interesting. youll have no problem getting a good grade.
Professor Escoffery is very informative. She wants everyone to succeed. Also, she is knowledgable. She explains the grading criteria thoroughly, and her assignments are not tough. Your fear for presenting will lessen or demolish! I would take her class again. No final exam!
Such a great professor ! she has amazing examples and she helps you through everything.
Awesome teacher, gives great lectures, and made class very enjoyable.
She was simply amazing. I hated the idea of public speaking, but she does a great job of getting you prepared to up to your classmates and talk. She is always there to help you out and fine tune anything you. Did a lot of group projects but they weren't hard at all. Other professors could learn from her, could not be more thankful to have had her.
Professor Escoffery was a pleasure to have as a professor. She delivers a each hilarious lecture with such enthusiasm, and it just a generally great lady. It was a pleasure taking her class. The speeches are fun, and she helps create such a powerful group dynamic, that you end up getting along with everyone in the class. Best choice by far.
Professor Escoffery is amazing! She is the sweetest, most helpful teacher on campus. She helps students on anything, even if you just need someone to talk to. She only assigns 3 speeches for presentation and 3 quizzes. She gives extra credit almost every class. Participation is easy, she doesn't ever leave anyone out. Hands down the best proff!
Professor Escoffery is absolutely by far my favorite professor! She is extremely helpful when it comes to giving speeches and offers extra credit just about every class! If you are not a huge fan of public speaking, there are plenty of other places excel in her class! She completely eliminated any part of giving a speech I was afraid of! Amazing!
She is an awesome teacher over all. You don't need the text book that is recommended by the school and gives great in class notes.
Great! Funny! And she is very exciting and interesting !!!
I love this woman! Fun, engaging, and creative. I've never had so much fun in a class before. Everyone gets to know each other. I was able to use what I learned in this class in my ENC1101 class as well.
Taking Prof. Escoffery was very rewarding. There are only 3 speeches throughout the semester, and she gives an incredible breath of advice/info to help you prepare for each one. If you take good notes, stay up on your assignments, and incorporate her feedback into your speeches, you will do fine. Do yourself a favor and take Escoffery!
Professor Escoffery class was great and boring as well, lectures was very long, class was easy as long as you attend you'll be okay. doesn't put up grades up as fast. Still waiting on how I did on my last speech which was Tuesday. Reply to emails late. But overall she is very nice and understanding teacher, LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT.
Prof. Escoffery is amongst the best that PBSC has to offer. After completing her class you will not only learn a lot about giving speeches but also have fun! I wish more Professors were as knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their course as she is. The class is also pretty straightforward. If you put in the effort you should get an A. I love her!
Great Professor, she works with you if you have any trouble, great feedback, and she loves what she does.
Do your work, take good notes, take your time and prepare for the speeches, you will get an A.
What a great teacher! She teaches with day to day scenarios so you are able to understand and relate. Take lots of notes and you do not need the book. You must study for the quiz and final.. I took her for a 6 week summer course. ahe is funny and makes class enjoyable.
Love her so much!!! She is the best teacher. She is so caring and so funny. 10/10 recommend. She barely gives you homework and as long as you put effort and time into your speeches you will get a good grade.
She is a nice lady. Only 3 speeches. 3 tests also which I don't think the class should even have because it a SPEECH class. Quite a few hw and in class assignments that can be a little tricky. Overall I like her and would recommend her if you are willing to put in a decent amount of work.
She is amazing! She was so helpful and nice to everyone in class. She used great examples and activities to get her point across. We only had to do 3 speeches the entire semester and it really helped me to have them spread out. We didn't use the textbook so you MUST take notes. I would highly recommend her.
Great Professor! Really easy class, only 3 speeches. Yes there is homework (not a lot) but it is super easy and doesn't take long. You don't use the text book but you do take notes and the notes are important for the tests (there are only like 2 tests). She is a great professor and I highly recommend her.
Knows communications inside, sideways and out. You can tell she has been doing this awhile and her delivery style is polished, informative and to the point. Speeches were easy, and the whole time she is in the back smiling and nodding FOR EACH ONE. Made it easy for the people who were nervous. Fun class especially for a mandatory.
She's very knowledgable about communication and she's a very sweet lady. She gives you pointers on your speeches so you know what to fix. Do the extra credit just in case and you'll do fine. Overall, great class and I recommend her:)
She has a wide range of knowledge about communication. She make her class a delight to be in. She puts your mind at piece when thinking about you speeches. A lot of opportunities for extra credit. Very interesting class to take.
This professor is amazing. Workload is average. Amazing notes and will tell you what to study for the quizzes and the exam. Study and you will pass. Three speeches total and gives great feedback. She relates the course to your future and makes the class interesting. Super funny and cool. Great interaction with the students.
You'd be crazy to take anyone other than Professor Escoffery for speech. She makes you feel so comfortable about speaking in front of the class and she is a good listener. She gives such good feedback and she's genuinely a nice person. TAKE PROFESSOR ESCOFFERY FOR SPC1017!
Professor Escoffery is so far the best college professor I had so far in my college, she truly care about each and every student success in her classroom. I wish she was one of those professors you can keep taking over and over because she is fantastic.
Professor Escoffery is such an amazing professor!!! Would not take anyone for Intro to Speech! She is extremely funny and caring and really wants you to do well. The class is very easy and fun and she is not a tough grader, and gives you very clear notes so the textbook is not required at all.
Professor Escoffery is an amazing teacher. She is by far one of my favorites. She is warm, welcoming, and full of energy. She cares about every student and it is her goal to see that everyone passes her class. She makes learning fun. Also, her notes are very detailed so there is no need to purchase the textbook. This is an easy A/great class.
I never do rate professors but I loved Prof. Escoffery so much that I feel inclined to. She really cares about her students. Its a fairly easy class, all you do is take notes and give speeches. She even accepts a lot of late work. Shes great, take her.
Prof. Escoffery is one of the best professors I think I will ever have. She truly wants you to succeed and will go out of her way to help you. No textbook. A bit of notes, but nothing unbearable. Lectures involve the whole class and are very informative. Would definitely take her again.
She was such an amazing professor and I wish I could have her for all my classes
Professor was such a great professor, learning about communication truly applied to my own relationships. Shes an easy grader but do the extra credit! I thought I was going to get an A+ but looks like I might end up with a low A. Lots of group work(but its fun). She really wants you to do well, you could turn in late assignments, slow grader.
Professor Escoffery is the BEST! She is so sweet and always willing to help her students whenever you need her. Only 3 speeches total, lots of class discussions/group work, and a few small essays. Super easy course, and lots of extra credit opportunities. Take her!
Take Professor Escoffery! She is so nice, and is very passionate about speech and communication. She made the class more fun than I expected! She does give out a couple of short essays to do but they are pretty easy. There are 3 speeches and 3 tests. Her lectures definitely gave me an insight in my relationships and are very interesting.
Since speech is a class I was not at all looking forward to taking, I was surprised to find that I actually enjoyed myself. I took the summer term; all we had to do were 3 speeches and a couple writing assignments. It was fun, easy, and professor Escoffery is super nice and supportive. Very lax grader.
This class was amazing. I used to dread public speaking but have now done a complete 180. The professor methodically made us more and more comfortable with each other and with speaking in front of the class as the semester progressed. By the end, I did not want to shut up. Trust me, if you're gonna take this class, this is the professor you want.
One of the Best professors I've had at Pbsc. I honestly thought I would hate speeches/public speaking, but she was so good at teaching it, I learned so much from her class! She made every single class interesting and enjoyable, all of her homework was clear and easy, as well as great midterm/final reviews. Would recommend to anyone.
Absolutely loved her, she keeps the class super interesting and fun! She's so understanding and caring. Speeches are great you pick your own topics basically, just be sure to really take her advice, she does give you the grade you deserve. Few test and super easy if you take notes and do the study guides (exactly like test)!
Professor Escoffery is best professor I've ever had. Her lectures are very comprehensible, and she uses a ton of examples. I took her for a six week summer class, and we presented 3 speeches, all extemporaneous, but if you're not a fan of public speaking she'll work with you. She gives extremely in depth feedback on each speech as well.
I like her teaching style, she made you think positive way in class. She use some her life example to made the students understanding. I took 6 classes in this semester, and she was the best professor in my last semester.
Amazing professor. She is by far the best when it comes to taking speech. She understands that not everyone is good with speeches and she takes this into consideration. There is group work but she makes it fun and you get to meet new people. She's seriously amazing!
Profesor Escoffery its an amazing profesor, you do have to show up to class because we take notes. Easy notes and she makes class go by so fast. I had a night class and she brought snacks all the time. I love her easy a class. WOULD DEFINITELY TAKE HER AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!
She is absolutely amazing. I was terrified of taking speech but she makes it easy to feel comfortable up there. She gives amazing feed back on each of your speeches to help better yourself. She gives you plenty of time to fix your speech and is available outside of class for extra help. I wish she taught more than just speech!
This professor was very good at making students interested and engaged in class. She gives out a lot of easy extra credit opportunities as well. Her assignments are pretty simple and straight forward as well. Speeches are fun as we have free range on the topic. I highly recommend taking her class. She opened up my eyes to a lot of new things.
Professor Escoffrey was 1 of my favorite professors I've ever had! She teaches so well, provides very easy to understand notes, give great examples & stories, and is willing to help whenever you may need it! I hate public speaking but taking her class helped improved on how to give a speech to people. Highly recommend!
She is an awesome professor. Take her class and you will not regret it. She cares and gives a lot of work but its all easy and mostly about yourself. She tells you exactly whats on the tests too. Very energetic and not boring at all.
Professor Escoffery is very understanding and overall an easy A as long as you stick to the criteria for the speeches. Theres no textbook work and the majority of classes are lectures w/ notes but virtually no at home studying or reading. Definitely would recommend.
Professor Escofferey always comes into class with a bright smile and genuinely wanting to help students. She is so sweet and even bring snacks for her night class. If you are nervous about taking a speech class, take hers. She makes everyone feel so comfortable and helps with nervousness. She doesn't give a lot of homework and there's extra credit.
She is literally one of the best professors I've ever taken! She always has a bright smile on her face and does her best to ensure that the class is interesting. Se doesn't give too much work or many quizzes/ tests, and if you pay attention and take notes you can pass with and easy A with little to no studying. Textbook not necessary. Love her!!
Professor Escoffery is one of the best professors i have ever taken. She is very knowledgable about the class and makes it a fun topic to learn. She is also very caring and funny. The class is fun and interesting and she brings you snacks to munch on as well. She really deserves the highest rating possible.
best professor. she is awesome. i was dreading taking a speech class and she completely changed my perspective. the speeches she has you give are easy and she cares about making the class feel relaxed. you will learn so much about communication, this class is almost like a psychology class with speeches. tests are easy if you study. take her!!!
Professor Escoffery is one of the best professors I've ever had. She made the transition with COVID so easy and smooth. She gives clear notes and doesn't have any surprise questions on the test, everything is covered in class. She made me feel much better about speeches and she isn't a tough grader at all.
This is my all time favorite professor! She takes time to explain everything you learn and really makes it a priority for you to succeed. I wish I had someone like her for every class I take.
This professor was the best! Her class was very easy to do. We only had to do 2 speeches out of the 3. She grades very quickly and leaves great feedback. I recommend taking her, EASY A!!! Would take this class again if I could.
she was a super nice prof! wants to see her students get better at giving speeches. gives good feedback on her assignments. lectures felt a little long, but that's because it was a night class. take her.
I was very hesitant about taking this class but i'm glad I did. Proffesor Escoffery was an amazing teacher and helped me get out of public speaking despite us being online. Would have for all my classes if I could
Prof. Escoffery is the sweetest teacher you can take. Her class is super easy. Tests are based on her lecture and notes. You will do some journals and random assignments, both easy. Your biggest assignments are your speeches which, if you prepare and try, you can get an A. The exam is all the tests combine so if you do well on those you'll be good.
Professor Escoffery is the best professor I have had during all my college experience. She is Inspirational, she cares about each individual student! She is a great speaker, she is clear and very respectful. 100% recommend!
She comes across as nice, and sweet, but she's very condescending. If you state your own personal opinion, she will reprimand as if you're a child; if she doesn't share your perspective. She is clear in her teachings, and speaks well. Grading is strict, and she will take excessive points off. You are expected to heavily participate in every class.
She is the best professor ive ever had! So good at teaching. Lots of small group activities which tend to be fun. Easy A if you do the assignments which she gives a lot of time to do. Speeches are the hardest part and theyre not even hard when you prepare accordingly.
Amazing professor, she always makes her lectures enjoyable. her stories are so funny and crazy. I look forward to her class every time. She is one of the most comforting teachers you'll meet, speeches are simple. She canceled one of our speeches. She does make lecture notes so its super easy to study for quizzes. the questions come from the notes.
If you are looking for a speech teacher I definitely recommend Professor Escoffery, she is the sweetest teacher ever! Average amount of work and it is super easy, especially with her help. Shes so easy to contact outside of class and answers super fast. She makes class so fun and shes super caring and understanding.
I 100% recommend for you to take a class with Professor Escoffery! I took her for my first semester of college, and she was amazing! I had her for SPC1017. She's sweet and understanding, you could tell from day one that the class would be great. She gives a minimum amount of work throughout the entire year. Plenty of time to do extra credit.
Shes so so sweet and was willing to help me on our final speech! I was so lost on what to do and she helped me. I would 100% take her again.
Super kind and eccentric. She's an amazing speaker and makes her class fun, easy, and accessible. Gives powerpoint lectures with the speaker notes posted, so you can take notes or download those. There's a couple of quizzes and a few speeches, nothing difficult at all. Can't stress enough how awesome she is in the classroom
Very sweet woman. Simple and easy class. We take a few quizzes, do little homework (which is usually easy writing assignments), and have three speeches to do and present in front of the class. She's very easy to reach, understanding, and always more than happy to help with any questions.
Professor Escoffery was fantastic. She sets clear guidelines of what will occur during your time in her class, so you are prepared. There are a couple speeches you must write and present for a grade in this class, but she ensures everybody gets a fair and distraction-free presentation. Quizzes/Tests are easy.
By far the best professor I have had. She is so caring and easy going on her students. She is also super respectful and never puts people on the spot. Her students comfortability is a priority. Her class consists of 3 speeches and the occasional homework with a few tests. She offers extra credit throughout the term. I recommend her 100%!!
She has a huge heart and an open mind. Her work is manageable and she gives great feedback. I love her class and looked forward to joining my zooms. She lets us pick what we want to talk about for the speech we do (no topic). She is the best and just wants to learn more about us. I love her and wish I can take this class again
BRUH don't take this for full-term its to easy to spend a lot of time on it. Professor Escoffery is such a sweetheart and beautiful (no simping) I hate giving speeches but she made it so easy I did it with no sweat and she doesn't' grade hard. follow her instructions and you good. Take her class you won't regret it bro, man up and stop being shy
A great instructor.
Professor Escoffery is simply amazing; super kind, puts your comfort first when presenting, and easy to reach outside of class. The quizzes are easy, the speech topics are your choice. Clear guidelines about what you should and shouldn't do, overall an easy A.
She is genuinely one of the best professors I've ever had. She is so kind, understanding, and caring. She makes speech interesting and less daunting. I would highly recommend her, she is an amazing prof.
She is funny and her assignment is easy. Make sure you take notes for the mid-term. We only do speeches which good for shy kids. She sometime go over things that made me uncomfortable but other than that this was a good class.
Professor E is one of the best professors I have had! She is so caring and funny, and her class goes by super quick, unfortunately. We had 2 speeches, and she made sure that everyone felt confident enough to present their speeches. She has such a bubbly personality that the class's vibe is immaculate, and it feels like everyone is friends. 10/10
take her!! shes the best :)
Extremely nice prof. She is really supportive and caring. The assignments are not hard at all as long as you do it right. Her quizzes aren't hard as long as you pay attention in class, and follow along with her notes.
She is so sweet 10/10 would recommend and take again
Professor Escoffery walks the talk. She is a warm, thoughtful, and articulate communicator skilled at creating a supportive classroom community where each student feels comfortable participating. Her interesting, relevant lectures and assignments made me look forward to every class.
She's incredibly kind, but she's like having a kindergarten teacher in a college class. Everything felt incredibly dumbed down! Part of that could just be the subject matter. The worst part of her class is the length of her lectures. 3.5 hours going over super simple concepts, yawn.
Professor Escoffery is incredible! She is extremely caring and very kind in grading the speeches (only 2), and her test is very simple as she gives you the answers and tons of time to get all the work done. I think it was around 3 test overall
AMAZING PROF!! Had the best semester! 2 speeches, but as long as you worked hard & showed that you cared, it went well. Gives extra credit opportunity. Tests aren't hard; just take notes & pay attention. Her voice is so soothing, I could listen to it all day. Overall super nice & understanding. WORTH TAKING !! Would take again ! Ended with an A+ !
I took Professor Escoffery (Fall Term). I enjoyed her class. She is a caring and sweet professor who makes everyone feel welcome. Her lessons were straightforward. Tests were online. We had an overall of 2 presentations. We had some group discussions with the people around us. Overall, I would retake this class...
She made every student feel welcome. She teaches very important lessons about communication and how to overcome your speech talk. She also gives 2 exercises to overcome your nervousness before your speech. You do have to do a group discussion around the people you are with. Don't worry you get to meet new people around the class.
Such a caring professor & I would 1000% take this class again
Lectures would drag on, but she was engaging and caring even though it was online. She's very well-spoken, and her class feels like a safe space. The essays could be tedious, but they're not that bad. Speaking up in front of the class wasn't that bad either once you did it. Overall an interesting class with a great professor
Professor Escoffery is an amazing communicator who creates a supportive class environment. Her lessons are straightforward, and the assignments are manageable. I found unstuck ai super helpful for speech prep - it really boosted my confidence.
Amazing professor! Her lectures are very engaging and assignments are very manageable. She tells you exactly what to expect on quizzes/exams and gives great advice for preparing speeches.
Absolutely wonderful professor! She taught engaging lectures that help expand your understanding of communication and created a caring space for students nervous about public speaking. Gives good feedback and allows students to pick topics they'd feel interested in giving speeches about. Had a great semester.
This professor was great! I had her for my Fundamentals of Speech live online class. 10/10, would definitely take her again! Lectures were very well spoken and in depth, she made that class easy and fun to participate in. Giving many, many extra credit opportunities. Workload is very manageable and she gives clear and helpful feedback.
A star! She is fantastic. Understanding and knows how to teach. I don't think I could recommend her enough. Very straightforward and creates a safe space in her classroom. Register while you can!
Very very flexible, and caring towards students. Will accommodate to your needs.
She is so sweet and caring. If you have a hard time with public speaking this class is definitely nerve wracking because you do 2-4 speeches which last anywhere from 5-10 minutes. But that's expected and she is incredibly encouraging and smiles at you nicely even if you're bombing your speech. She cares a lot and never makes you feel inferior.
Professor E is the best! She is one of the sweetest Profs I know. She will make sure you are understanding what she is teaching. Workload is very light, and there is a speech at the end of the semester you have to do. She is very understanding for students with social anxiety. She is definitely cooking with gas!
I was very scared of not understanding the course. But she is very passionate about the class. It is literally impossible to fail. Every class she gives an extra credit question. At the end of the course you just put the questions and your answer in a doc and send it through canvas. You do have to give 2 speeches. One is about you & an informative
She is the most amazing professor I ever had!! She makes her lectures fun. The workload is very easy, nothing hard. The only thing is that there are 2 speeches you have to do in front of class: 1 about you & 1 informative (counts as the final exam). I would DEFINITELY recommend taking her!!
