LINDA IS A FUNNY, CHILL, RELAXED TEACHER. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S HONORS CLASSES OR WHAT BUT SHE BARELY GIVES ANY WORK. A GROUP SPEECH AND 4 OTHER SOLO'S. THE MID TERM IS AN EASY A AND THE FINAL JUST AS.
My favorite professor ever
Her assignments are quite easy as well as the tests.
I can't say enough wonderful things about this professor. One of the best at the college, for sure. Great, lively lectures, always presents information clearly, always willing to help you improve. She's so great. There should be more educators like he
nicest teacher in the whole school... she is like your second mother... definitely take her while your there...
If you have trouble speaking in front of people take her class! she really helps you get over that fear! She is a Great teacher, there should be more like her at WCC...
she's smart, funny and loud. i like her.
yoo shes an awesome teacher, very easy class, just go to class and pay attention. her test are easy 2, make sure to as for help during the test
i wish there were more teachers like her, or at least that she could teach all my classes. her class is a lot of work,but she is a fair grader. i tell everyone who goes to wcc to take voice and diction w/ her!!
Great professor. Very helpful. Easy greader. Not a tough class at all.
awsome teacher lively, funny yet still need to get your work done. GREAT professor :-)
Great class to take. Have to do work but not hard. She is nice and makes the subject interesting.
easy easy easy!!!! never give homework...wonderfull professor
The class was one giant discussion, with speeches on the side. Great professor, fun person. I learned more than I thought.
A great teacher. She explains everything, talks to you like an equal and not as if she is superior. I recommend her for any student.
Great Professor. She makes the class fun and educational at the same time. She is very funny. She doesn't give homework but little assignments like a 2 page paper. Final was open book.
Do your work, show up, and you should do fine. Very engaging women...gets the class talking in a good way. No quizzes some papers here and there... Mid-term is a take home
She's an easy professor, makes you talk to all the other students, I became good friends with everyone in class. She's funny, easy, and gives only 2 essays (open book) as a midterm and final, and as long as you do the public speaking in class it's an easy A. Take her class for a fun easy class.
Easy A as long as you attend class and participate. I had her at 8'oclock in the am, she made the class fun and interesting. Always looked forward to going to class...
shes a great teacher. point blank take her class
She is the BESTTTTTTT teacher. If you have to take communications, TAKE HER. She is SO funny, youll be laughing the whole time. She doesnt give too much work, and she keeps everything interesting. Youll walk out of the class with friends too, she loves having the class getting involved. TAKE HER CLASS!!!
Professor Kalfayan's classes are really interesting and fun. we had to do about 4 or 5 presentations in all but she helps you learn how to do them. also she doesnt give much work and is really understanding. As long as you show up and put effort in, you'll be fine.
She is awesome!!! I had her for two classes and she's so easy! She's also hilarious and everything is very group oriented and fun
This professor is extremely nice, funny, and helpful. In class (Voice & Diction), we wrote 4 papers and had to read them out loud in class. She is an easy grader and gives feedback.
What a great professor! She is helpful, nice, funny, and a great professor. People mistake her for being "easy." Rather, it is that she is such a good professor that she makes the class easy. She explains the work in great detail, gives examples, and always keeps the class entertained. Definitely take her!
Best professor ever. VERY, nice, understanding, caring, open minded! Had her for two classes--the most important classes of my life, because I learn far more than the content of the course. She makes every point clear and helps student feel comfortable in the class.
THE BEST...BEST...BEST PROFESSOR at WCC!!! Her class is so much fun and interesting! She makes us laugh the entire semester! I couldn't wait to go to class! I RECOMMEND her 100000x times! LOVE HER!
She is a very interesting Educator and very knowledgeable. Could have been a little more understanding about my situation.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her class. I took her class for 3 hours on Friday mornings. no better professor than her to make you engage at those early hours! there were some classes i laughed for 3 hours straight. she is so funny and an outstanding and knowledgeable professor!She just wants you to succeed! By far the BEST professor I have had at WCC
professor K is a very nice teacher. She explains things in grave detail and always has time to answer your questions. Professor K is always on time and gives you the tools that are needed to survive in the real world. She is the best and I plan on taking her again. Thanks professor K
Linda is a energetic professor, but the material can be a little confusing. Her midterm and final was hard. she is a nice teacher , but is sometimes rude when she has to repeat her self. There are 4 classroom assignments 1 final and midterm. If you understand material you should survive.
Excellent
I never rate but had to just for this professor b/c she is BY FAR the BEST professor I've had. She speaks in your same language, makes the class super fun, is hilarious, is going to keep a smile on your face, and is going to make it a class you look forward to everyday. She doesn't give A's out. But you can tell she wants the best for her students.
Great professor! She's hilarious, very clear, and very helpful. If you do what's asked of you to do, it'll be an easy A. I will definitely take another class with her!
She's a really good teacher makes lectures interesting and funny. Doesn't give much homework except for a couple papers throughout the semester definitely look out for her if you need a communications class
She's a great professor but I don't feel like I learned much. Definitely and easy A!
I never put up a rating but I always use this site... I just wanted to say that I HATE school. This prof. made me look forward to class. She is understanding and very reasonable. I love this professor and I never say that. Please take one of her classes
Professor Kalfyan is very funny and her teaching style and lectures are very easy to follow. There will be group activity throughout the semester, so how well you work with people will help your grade. For the midterm and final is only 20 words to remember, so as long as you show up to class and do the work you can pass with an A.
Prof. Kalfayan has a unique teaching style, really catches your attention and gives positive or negative criticis to better your Voice and Diction. Show up, complete her assignments and study for 10 minutes each day with vocabulary and phonetics toward the end leading up to the final. You have an A and learned an interesting way to share your voice
Very sweet lady. She is very knowledgeable. She brings comedy and bounciness to class and has a awesome and funny attitude. She does have you read out loud in class but she lets you do it from your seat, which is great. Do the diction practices at least 10 minutes every day and you will do fine. STUDY VOCAB WORDS!!!!
I took Prof. Kalfayan's class over the summer & I loved it. Which says a lot because I really didn't want to be in school for the summer but she made it worthwhile. She's such a good professor! She is very nice and funny. I recommend her to everybody I know. She has definitely helped me with public speaking. As long as you do your work you'll pass.
She was the best professor I've had so far. She is so funny and is always understanding in case you have to leave class early. She responds to emails quickly. Her lectures are great and she is always cracking jokes throughout it making it super fun.
I love Professor Kalfayan! She's so funny/inspiring and is very knowledgable. Miss her class very much, I can confidently say that i'm a better public speaker because of her teaching.
Pretty easy class; only a few presentations. Midterm & Final is fill in the blank with a word bank. Just make sure you show up.
Its an Essay A, she gives group projects which were easy, the midterm & final exam is fill in the blank. she made the class interesting.
Professor Kalfayan is awesome. Always makes the class interesting and always gets a good discussion going. If you do your work and show up to class you'll get an A. Not a very tough grader but you'll learn a lot. I can say without a doubt I'm a better public speaker because of her. I recommend taking any class she teaches!!
Prof. Kalfayan was amazing & taught things that applied to life in the long run. Her assignments were fun, she was a good teacher, encouraged participation and worked with you if you needed further assistance. Although her midterms are a bit difficult, her final was well put. She was enthusiastic about her studies and I am satisfied with the class
Professor Kalfayan is amazing, shes so sweet and kind her exams she only gave out 2 exams and the group projects together with other students are enjoyable. Definitely taking another class with her.
She is a great. I enjoyed her class and she genuinely wants her students to excel in her class. She is a fantastic choice for a professor, take her class.
At first she was cool, now she's disrespectful. Later into the semester I became very sick- started missing classes. I continued to complete all her assignments and stay on task. The issue was her attitude- the way she answered my questions were just rude. Didn't have this issue with any other of my professors during this time.
She is a great professor that really wants her students to succeed. Her assignments are open ended and easy to get a high grade on. Obviously you're going to have to present a lot bc its a comm class. She gives time off from class for students to study for tests. Her final was REALLY hard so make sure you study for it. It was the only hard part ..
Didn't really learn much. She gave the phonetics lesson right before the final and barely went over it, which made it very hard. She's nice in class but blunt and not very helpful over email. But I will say, if you get nervous about public speaking and need a comm class just take her, she makes it easier than other profs will. Easy to pass.
Professor Kalfayan is a gem - she's caring, compassionate, and clear on what she expects of you. If you follow her instructions you'll excel.
Professor Kalfayan is the best! I had her for a 3 week session. Although we moved a quick pace, you still learn! With the textbook its just a connect code and the ebook that comes with. It was a very nice class. Would take her again!
Shes loud but then again its a voice and diction glass. Finals is confusing, not clear on what to study for the final. Phonectis? who actually wants to learn that; and how is it going to help me in the future.
I loved taking Kalfayan's group discussion class I decided to take her again for Voice and Diction. She is a very easy grader, sweet, funny and caring about all students (unless you come in late and don't do her work.) The only tough thing about the class was her final. Study for phonetics.
Professor Kalfayan is funny and surprisingly lenient when it comes to make ups. The class was useful if you struggle with your speech in any way. The assignments are easy and can be done way ahead of time if you want because they are all outlined in the textbook. The final was a little hard so make sure you ace all the other assignments.
AMAZING class and professor. I thoroughly enjoyed taking her class. Though it is a speech course, she made giving the speeches very easy and helped each and every one of us actually become better.
This class was really enjoyable and she made lectures really fun and interesting. Highly recommend taking her class!
Such a fun class. Very discussion-oriented and she gives great feedback. I was able to greatly fine-tune my presentation and public speaking skills throughout the semester. Show up to class prepared and make sure you practice your speeches with a timer and have a good outline. Highly recommend her class.
EXTRA CREDIT is there, easy grader, 4 easy reaction papers to write and one reaction paper. I will recommend everyone to take her. You won't fail.
I'm an ESL student. This class was very easy A. We wrote 4 research essay (2 pages). 2 TESTS. EXTRA CREDIT.
I loved her class, she's super funny too. Really helpful, intelligent, and caring. highy recommend taking a class with her!
Very nice lady! She assigns you a question from the homework to answer in class! Answer them all you will see them on the online exam. She goes over all her Power Points in detail and is concerned if you understood or not! You will need the book and you will be using it. You will learn in this class and have one paper. I would take her class again.
She's a good professor but I personally believe that the lectures were worthless and a waste of time. The only thing I hated about this class is that every quiz was based from the textbook. U might as well stick with the textbook rather than the lectures. She would give clear instructions on speeches though. She aight.
I enjoyed my time in Prof. Kalfayan's class. She is very considerate to students' time in that she let us out early to work on homework and she made sure what we had to do was clearly defined. However, after a couple classes, their repetitive nature became boring. I started multitasking until it was my turn to speak. I don't feel I learned much.
She is an amazing professor! She is very informative and very helpful. Professor Kalfayan is inspirational, sweet, and helps you become a better communicator!
A wonderful professor! She responds quickly to emails and gives great feedback. For the speeches, if you do not feeling comfortable with public speaking, she allows you to present before class so that there won't be as many people hearing your speech. Overall an interesting class that I gained a lot of experience from!
She was ok. She gives 3 test and you def need the $110.00 book to assist. She gives a final paper that is 6 pages long, and even cool to have you redo i,t if you send it to her early for feedback. She is good!
Professor Kalfayan, was amazing she is very caring for the students. She always tried to make the classes fun. I definitely would take her again.
Would not take again.
She provides informative video lectures and clearly outlines assignments and expectations. Workload isn't too demanding. Good professor overall that communicates with her students and makes herself available. I had her for Comm111, too, and she was just as good.
Took her to fill my comms credit and she was by far 1 of my favorite teachers. She makes you feel welcomed in the classroom and will understand if something came up that caused you to turn something in late. You simply cannot fail the class unless you just don't do any work or show up!
The class was a bit redundant. A lot of the time, I found myself wondering why I even showed up. It's very easy, but the lectures are extremely boring. She just reads off the slides and goes off topic a LOT. She's also very loud. As for the tests, it's all textbook-based so read the chapters and take notes! Anybody can do well in this class.
I couldn't let her ruin my GPA. I discovered I was marked absent for 2 weeks! after buying her text book and doing the work that was required so why and I being graded poorly never receiving feedback?? byeeee
literally the easiest class I've ever taken omg
Professor Kalfayan is by FAR the best professor I've had at WCC, and one of the best teachers I've had in my entire life. Take her class. You won't regret it.
I love love loved Professor Kalfayan. I really enjoyed taking her class and would highly recommend. She is an even balance of fun and making sure you're getting your assignments done / properly preparing for group discussions/presentations. She is very flexible and a very fair grader.
Her lectures are entertaining she always has something to share to her students. Very simple straightforward class with two in person speeches.
This is one of the easiest classes I have ever taken. She is so caring and passionate. I am going into the health science field of communication science and disorders- this course helped shape my understanding. All you have to do is complete all your work and gather knowledge from some research, her video lecs or the text to aid with assignments.
Her lectures are interactive. Its refreshing to have a class with an open dialogue while still learning so much. Love the way she teaches. As long as you go to most of the classes your attendance grade will be fine. Workload good. Do work on time email if extra time is needed she's flexible and reachable. WCC needs more professors like her.
Super nice teacher and is an elementary grader! I loved seeing her not bombarding students with work.
Professor Kalfayan is very good. I would take another course
I loved Professor Kalfyan! She is respected, has great lectures, and I would 1000000000000000000000% recommend!!!
Professor Kalfayan often tries to engage students by talking about topics unrelated to the course. In-person classes feel unproductive, as the actual lesson lasts about 20 minutes, and the rest is off-topic conversation. Better take this online and save your time and gas. She tends to lose focus easily and shows preference toward certain students.
Class often feels unprepared and repetitive. She uses her own book. You end up wondering why you showed up since she repeats the same points and easily loses focus on unrelated topics. She's friendly and will give you chances if you ask, but she is very loud and rushes through explanations, which makes it hard to concentrate.
