She's direct at first, but once you approach her--her genuine loving nature really shows. Do not hesitate to go to her for guidance with projects. She will tell you verbatim what to do. She will go above and beyond to teach you and guide you. Be prepared to put in some time and effort. This class will give you confidence and truly usable skills.

I took her in Interpersonal Communication online. She is so helpful, very clear with her instructions, and overall a very nice lady who wants her students to succeed in her class! There are some big papers and quite a bit of work, but the assignments are actually pretty interesting and she grades fairly easy. I HIGHLY recommend her!

I WOULD FERVENTLY AND SINCERELY ADVISE EVERYONE TO AVOID LINDA DULIN'S CLASSES. she was the exponentially the WORST professor/instructor i've ever had. she is belittling and decietful. she is more interested in covering her but than being genuinely helpful. she is also very liberal and i think she takes offense to conservative views.

I disagree with the last two comments about Dr. Dulin. These people are crazy! First, there is nothing in this class that would be cassified as liberal or conservative. Yes, you have to write. It is college, duh! She was an outstanding professor. I highly recommend her unless you are totally into having a blow off prof. She has high standards.

Yes, she is extremely and overtly liberal. I do not want to hear about her political affiliation, or the "brilliance" (i.e. communication skills must equate brilliance) of Obama's policies; keep these things to yourself, Linda. Case studies in forcing "diversity"? Personal jabs at the free market? This is a speech class; it's inappropriate.

If it means anything, I dropped with a B average as I could not take it anymore. This woman belongs in the 1960's, burning bras, rioting, etc. She needs a wake-up-call. I strenuously recommend that you do NOT take speech from Dr. Dulin. Her class is more of a platform for a captive audience than anything else.

As an educated woman in my late 40s, yes, I can verify the previous reviewers statements about her penchant for political commentary/jabs. Indirect or otherwise, she is definitely an activist. I suppose I shouldn't be shocked by other "reviewers" stating they didn't hear anything "political" given the current literacy of college students.

I cannot in good conscience recommend L. Dulin. From her politics, in-your-face social engineering, and pseudo-intellectual lectures, the class was an exercise in patience. The "skills" she teaches are embarrassingly rudimentary, so what you find is a professor that gives an impressive, theatrical display to justify her employment. Terrible...

I just finished the minimester with a B. I am kissing the ground. That was a tough course to take in two weeks. However, I really recommend Dr. dulin. She was quite an encourager. She told us the guys who got Osama Bin Laden were wimps next to us (taking a mini)...lol. Bet she's great in a f2f class. I learned some good stuff. Highly recommend

She likes to talk you down to where you feel dumb. She doesn't care about how hard you work on an assignment. I took her online and she didn't help me she only criticized me. Sorry but that is not a helpful teacher. Personality clash? Quite possible.

Honestly one of the best professors you can take. No nonsense attitude towards laziness and procrastination. She expects you to act like the adult you are and take care of business.

Dr. Dulin is a great professor, however it is required that you participate and do all projects or you won't pass. It is actually pretty easy. You will have to get out of your comfort zone for presentations though. I will say this I'm a quite and shy person and passed with a B all you have to do is participate.

Unless you are great at writing papers, I personally would not take this class, or at least, take this class online. Most of the assignments took a majority of my time from my other classes. Just. So. Frustrating.

She takes the time to explain every assignment piece by piece. You really only have three major assignments and two quizzes for your grade though. More of an old-school style teacher.- no phones, no talking while teacher is talking, no excuses, late work, etc. She holds you to a high standard, but is willing to help you if you ask.

This professor does a great job of making sure that you can effectively communicate and ask questions. However, her class is very difficult and hard to understand. The projects are on topics that she chooses, not by the students. Her political views influence her grading. The only reason I didnt rate her awful is because she communicates well.
