MS.HOBBS is the coolest,funnest and craziest teacher you'll ever have. She has a unique way of capturing the attention of the class and makes class fun and enjoyable in so many ways. Take her whenever you can. She is AWESOME!
Lindsey is awesome! She's easy but you do have to do 3 speeches. Shes hilarious and will definitely keep you entertained! love her TAKE THIS CLASS!
Lindsay was a great teacher. She made public speaking something that was fun rather than something to be afraid of. I would take her for every class if I could. Definitely schedule her if you get the chance!!!!
Lindsay Hobbs was by far my favorite teacher.
She gave me an A, but i so wish I would have taken someone else.
Lindsay is by far the best communication teacher at UL. She doesn't grade hard. You're exempt from the final if you have an average of an A. I LOVE YOU LINDSAY!!!! I SO RECOMMEND TAKING HER. SHE MADE COMMUNICATION FUN!!!
fun class, but you learn a lot while having fun
she is an amazing teacher!!!! she does lots of fun activities in class to help you for your speeches and then if you start running out of things to talk about during your speech she will get the class to ask questions to help your time. she was nice, funny, and really made the class feel like a family. by far my favorite teacher at ul
I look forward to going to this class. The funnest comminications teacher by far!
Most probably my favorite teach throughout my college career. If you go to class and aren't a plug you will do great! She is awesome
Take Seth Falvo as you lab instructor. Easy A. Every other lab instructor is difficult.
Great teacher! Fun to interact with. Kept class interesting. Super funny. You don't really have to go to the lecture if you have common sense, but they are fun anyway. Show up for the review and she tells you what you need to go over for the test. Tests were easy too. All in all...a Great teacher. :) Enjoy!
Kept class fun. Awesome teacher! Know's her stuff and is helpful in every way possible.
definitely one of the best classes i ever took. She was fun, made you want to be there and her class was the only one in 4 years i didnt mind going to. If you arent a total deush, you will love her class and have a blast all semester!
If you are interested in taking a class with a joke of a teacher then this is the class for you. Extremely easy but topics brought up in class are entirely inappropriate. I expect my college classes to maintain a level of professionalism and do not find this class humorous at all.
This teacher is by far one of the best instructors in the university. Her teaching style is very fun and energetic. If you are not into taking teachers who make class, then steer for away. Otherwise, this class will get your energized about school and public speaking.
she is awesome. she keeps me laughing during lecture. u dont have to go to lecture butr i go anyway to have a morning laugh.
Amazing teacher. Makes a class that everyone else on campus hates very VERY fun. She does a great job at teaching us about campus and helping prepare us for our college lives.
AWESOME class! She keeps it fun, but you also learn a lot about the campus at the same time. Never used the book so don't buy it! Must go to class though. Very strict on attendance. I would definitely take her over and over again if I could.
By far my favorite teacher this first semester. She's really a wonderful person. She comes to class with a high spirit and will turn your day around. Learned a great bit and enjoyed learning. She's not too hard, but when it comes down to business... she like it handled. Class isn't particularly mandatory, but you wouldn't want to miss it.
DO NOT PASS THIS TEACHER UP! You will definitely regret not taking her class. She is so funny and a blast to be around. Shes extremely helpful too! She made everything a lot stressful, she worked with our time and even gives you off on really bad weather days, when a lot of professors dont!!!
LINDSAY IS BY FAR THE BEST TEACHER EVER! She honestly is a comedian. She is extremely helpful and there is never a dull moment in mass lecture. She wrote the book, therefore, it goes perfectly with lecture. You cannot pass her up she is amazing!
Awesome! Love her! So funny, so informative. The class was great, her TAs are awesome. Just keep in mind, it's human communication, it focuses on public speaking til the end, then the final project was kind of a curveball. But she's amazing.
Good Teacher,Just Go To Mass Lecture And Pass The Quizzes
SERIOUSLY A MEMERABLE LEARNING EXPERIENCE...IF YOU LAUGH AND LEARN @ THE SAME TIME....SHE KNOWS HOW TO TEACH POINT,BLANK.<--
Thank you Verizon Wireless for making me look like i couldn't spell MEMORABLE....
Hobbs is a sweetheart! She's wonderful and very helpful!
Miss Hobbs is a really good teacher. She taught me CMCN 200, 309, and 310. I even changed my major to communication because of her. She's dedicated and expects a great deal out of her students, but she's willing to give you a great deal of help and guidance in return. I recommend her to everyone. She's awesome!
Ms. Hobbs was my favorite professor in my college career, or could have been my favorite teacher of all times. She was funny, knowledgeable and easy on the eyes. I learned so much without realizing I was actually learning. TAKE her if you want your semester to be a memorable one. Thank you, Ms. Hobbs!
I would recommend reconsidering taking this particular instructor. If you are taking this class in an attempt to actually learn about communication, this is not the instructor for you. Very unprofessional individual. I am honestly surprised that she is still employed here.
I usually don't rate professors, but I felt the need to defend Miss Hobbs in light of the last rating as I know who it was made by (a student who was not doing their work and therefore got called out on it!) Miss Hobbs is a very caring, thoughtful, and understanding instructor. Take her for yourself and you will be glad you did!
very easy teacher. She also will have you laughing while she is teaching. She is nice.
Ms. Hobbs is the most down-to-earth college instructor I have ever had the fortune of being taught by. If you don't enjoy laughing while you learn, she isn't the instructor for you. Easy A, no textbooks, maybe 1 quiz, a few simple speeches, homework is rare. A real breath of fresh air. Love her!
Hobbs. 'Nuff said.
This class is an easy A! Take it.
In all of my years of going to school I have never had a teacher like Ms. Hobbs. She's amazing! I love her! She's very helpful. I wish she would teach Accounting lol
She is AMAZING and good looking. Always keeps you on your toes, she is not your normal teacher she makes you actually use some common knowledge. She has been a real inspiration in why I have stayed in school for so long. Everyone and their mom needs to take this class and any other she teaches Viva La Lindsay!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only class I looked forward to! She makes you laugh and learn at the same time.
Hobbs is by far the best professor I have had so far. She teaches you a lot of helpful stuff and at the same time keeps you interested and laughing for days. She's not corny funny either, she's cool funny. I wish all professors where like Hobbs.
Hobbs makes my Mondays FUN!! Not too many professors are as entertaining, comical, and easy-on-the eyes. She is a cool and, again, entertaining professor. Quizzes are not that difficult; but you do have to review her mass lecture notes before each quiz. She gives ample time to write down the material she lectures on. Very good instructor!!
Ms. Hobbs is awesome. I tell her good morning every time we have an auditorium class! Quizzes about every Friday and 2 impromptu speeches. The final speech is the biggest nerve wrecking thing you can do but she gives pointers on what to do and what not to do. The class overall depends on the lab instructor you get!
She is the best teacher ever! Do whatever it takes to have her teach you!
Ms. Hobbs is hilarious and full of energy. I had her for CMCN 310: Public Speaking. If you are afraid to speak in font of your peers, take this class. Ms. Hobbs will get you out of your shell and comfortable with making a speech. TAKE HER ABOVE ALL OTHER CMCN TEACHERS!She is like one of the students. Such a fun class.
Lindsay is the best! This was one of my first college classes and I was not excited because it was public speaking but after the first day I actually wanted to go! She really gets you over the fear of speaking infront of people and she is soo funny and extremely helpful. Yayy Ms. Hobbs
Absolutely Amazingly Awesome Professor! Took notes and laughed at the same time. Quizzes are every Friday so be sure to attend the classes to get the notes. 3 speeches in total, not so hard. Recommend taking her!
BEST UNIV 100 TEACHER! just trust me she is better than the rest. makes a facebook group page to give reminders in addition to emails. laid back and will help with advising and any issues you have. will be taking her again for CMCN
I love her so much. Best teacher ever. The best professor at UL
Best teacher ever!!! Take her I guarantee you won't regret it!
She's definitely an awesome teacher. She has great humor, but sometimes you might get slightly annoyed. Her class is SO easy. And she gives TONS of bonus! Attendance isn't checked in her mass lecture, but most of the smaller labs do check. Try to get Brad Wedlock as your small lab teacher!! He's GREAT!
my cheeks hurt everyday from laughing so hard in her class. THE BEST teacher you will ever have, makes class so fun and interesting,and and relates everything to real life situations that college students can relate to. TAKE HER TAKE HER TAKE HER!
Lindsay Hobbs is probably the best teacher I've ever had. She's fun and cares about educating her students. She also is a great person to talk to when you need. I take her classes as much as I can even though I'm a KNES major!
AWESOME PROFESSOR! GREAT.
This class is a gigantic waste of time. Hobbs' $150 book is required or she docks your grade, and you barely use it. The lectures are boring, and much of the info presented is either misleading, outdated, or completely made up. If you want to take a class that's an easy A while throwing away money in the process, take this class.
Class isn't as great as they say. Rather boring. Attendance is mandatory. Easy class just do the assignments.
I conquered my fear of public speaking. That should be a good enough recommendation. Hobbs is the best professor I've ever had. Don't be scared; you'll come out of this class so much more confident!
Hobbs is awesome. She makes class fun and on top of that she is really easy to understand. Her quizzes aren't hard if you study. Do your Homework and you're guaranteed an A.
Lindsay is a wonderful person, but being a Communication Major, I don't feel like her class taught me how to be a better public speaker. She is funny, witty, and caring - but her class is an easy A for being nice to her. The class holds no weight when it comes to heightening your education. I would recommend, though.
biggest problem was the lack of actual skill development.
She is an extremely good professor. she is easy to understand. overall favorite class. Take Her!
Had her for my first semester of college last fall. She was the best teacher that made my first semester of college exciting. Learned things that I haven't known about communication. She's also hilarious! Take her if you want a good teacher that knows how to make your day.
Great professor! Made me not so scared of public speaking and taught me that I could have fun and learn while still being in college. I wish there were more classes that she taught that would count towards my major. Awesome experience overall!!!
Hobbs has been an awesome teacher as a freshman taking her class. I was at first scared of speaking in front of others but her awesome attitude and general personality really made me loosen up a lot.
TAKE HOBBS. ALWAYS TAKE HOBBS. I would take a class taught by Lindsay Hobbs even if she were teaching how to contract the flu. She's so funny and passionate and just all around wonderful. Her lectures were the highlight of my life this semester.
a very good teacher. She always keeps you amused and she never hesitates to answer any questions. She's quite funny too and is a very good public speaker.
She is very funny! Her class was very go with the flow. Very clear what she expects from you. Try to get class work done before the end of the semester because she will make you show up during finals week
Everybody says she is the best teacher, and out of all the public speaking classes she is, but honestly i didn't learn anything in this class. If you are comfortable with speaking in front of people you will get an A, but if you aren't, most likely this class isn't going to help you out much, it's just something you have to get used to on your own.
She realizes that the class is important, but not too important. loved her.
I was not very good at public speaking and have anxiety issues on top of all that and this class helped immensely. Ms. Hobbs took the time to get us comfortable with one another and with the idea of giving a speech. You have to try and show that you're working hard and she will help you reach your potential. Glad I took the class.
Miss Hobbs is my most favorite professor I've ever had, she hilarious and an outstanding professor. She bring life into the classroom. Would DEFINITELY love to have her again. Schedule hurt quick, she's so great her classes fill up so fast.
Ms. Hobbs is the best teacher to take for communication. I did not buy a book, but it will be needed if you don't have a friend who has it. We only took about 2-3 quizzes and 2 test. The class is very fun and easy to pass.
My favorite class this entire semester. I literally look forward going to her class just for her lectures because she is hilarious, the work is doable, and she relates to her students. She understands you have other classes. Would definitely recommend her class to anyone! I'm just a freshmen so don't be nervous to take it ur first year.
She's just the best. One of my favorite teachers I've ever had. She develops personal relationships with her students and just wants you to do your best and the best for you. She's lenient, but she shouldn't have to be. Gives you plenty of time to do assignments and doesn't give many. Hilarious to say the least. Tricks you into learning. Love her.
She's funny and it's an easy A, but she's an awful teacher. I went into the class interested in PR. Came out knowing what PR was and that's about it. Got an A in the class though.
Hobbs is a great teacher, orator, and person in general. She is absolutely hilarious. The lectures can be pretty long, but she tries to keep it as short and interesting as possible. She throws in jokes throughout the lectures, so it's impossible to fall asleep. She wrote the textbook that we use in class, so of course she knows the information.
This class is an easy A. You cannot fail this class. Just do your work & you should be fine. Don't skip your lab class to much, they give participation points. If your afraid to speak in front of the class you should start practicing now bc you WILL have to speak.
BEST PROF EVER! My second time taking her I would do it again in a heart beat.
She is a great teacher.
Life altering. Purpose giving. Laugh inducing. Empowering. Deep. Inspirational. She leads you so that you can lead them so that together we can build a better future. A better future; a better world. Healing. Growth. Love. Onward to greater things. Happiness. Joy. Life. We are one. To lead, first follow. Put on yours first, my dear friends.
This course is so interesting, if you've taken Hobbs before you know she's different. To really learn something from this course you have to understand the reason behind what she does. You might get frustrated early in the semester, but at the end you'll understand the most important aspects of leadership.
Very funny woman, I would take communications again just to be in her class. The lab classes are fun too, just remember to go to lectures because sometimes she gives quizzes about the lectures.
She makes this class funny. She is hilarious. Mostly small quizzes about the lecture like 3 or 4 questions not hard, 1 test and a final. Only had homework twice, will have to give a speech but it was very simple and you choose the topic. Relaxed and fun. Take her. I don't see why anyone would take anyone else.
I absolutely LOVE this professor. I would definitely take more of her classes even though it's not required. I don't see why anyone wouldn't take her. It's easy, but you learn SO much!
CMNC 203 is just the honors version of 100, but there's nothing difficult about it. I'd show up to class and she'd just share stories and how it relates to communication. Really laid back. Few easy quizzes here and there, but nothing to stress about. She's aware that there are other difficult courses we have to focus on, so this is low priority.
I dreaded this class!! I have real bad anxiety, but she made the class very fun. I was uncomfortable going into the activities, but found them very enjoyable once we started each one. She's very funny, very friendly, very approachable, and very informative. I still felt incapable of giving my speeches, but she encouraged me every step of the way.
Hobbs is the best teacher I've had at UL. She is HILARIOUS and understands the students. If you get the chance to take her DON'T PASS IT UP!
Great professor who helped the class learn how to write and deliver a speech and become better communicators. Hilarious and easy to talk to about your grades and concerns.
Long story short, take her! Amazing teacher. Cares about her students and makes it apparent. Not afraid to go in depth on topics. Her style is somewhere between lecture and open quorum. At least it was for my small summer class. Very approachable.
Great
Lindsay Hobbs was one of the best teachers I have ever had. She finds a way to make a joke out of almost any subject which makes it really easy to pay attention to her lectures. As far as difficulty goes, this was one of the easiest classes I have taken yet. Hobbs connects with her students and is not ignorant to what we do outside of class.
I want to be her best friend. I only need one communications class for my major but I want to take more because of her. No pop quizzes, always tells you what will be on quizzes, makes class SO much fun. 12/10 would recommend.
If you have the option to take Lindsay Hobbs, DO IT!! I have a fear of speaking in front of class, so I was super nervous and anxious for this class. I should not have been. I love her lecture class, and I actually enjoyed going. There is nothing to worry about going into her class, and I wish someone would have told me that.
Hobbs is great. Her lectures are entertaining. The tests can be tricky so make sure you read the textbook on the sections covered. Prepare to give a few speeches.
Dr. Hobbs probably does stand up comedy on the weekends. She makes the lectures interesting and funny while staying on topic. Minimal homework and studying. One speech due at the end of the semester. If you have the opportunity, TAKE HER CLASS!!!
I loved attending mass lecture. She made this class so interesting and fun. Def a great professor!!
I want to be her friend, seriously. So relatable, so funny, and her class is easy, so that's a plus. You do have to give a 6 minute speech, her tests are super easy. Just participate and you'll be fine.
Lindsay is hilarious and teaches in a way that is fun. This is the only class I have ever taken that I looked forward to going to. Loved this class. If you study the material and go to your small classes, it is an easy A.
You just go to Lindsay for the lectures, but she's funny and makes the class entertaining. A lot of the material is common sense, but it makes for an easy A as long as you participate in the labs.
Lindsay Hobbs was one of the best professors I have had at UL. She is super funny, so sitting through her class is not torture. Test are super easy, if you go to class and kinda listen you can pass the test with an A ! Take her !
A pretty cool teacher. She will keep you engaged during her lectures with her stories and jokes. Easy class if you show up and do your work. No reason why you should not make an A in this class because she sets you up to succeed.
It was my first communications class and I fell in love! Lindsay Hobbs is hilarious and more than willing to help any student in any way she possibly can. Because of her, I'm pursuing a minor in communication. This was an honors section of fundamentals of communication and she was very straightforward and informative.
she's so funny and her class is very easy once you get used to giving speeches.
She does impromptu speeches which are difficult to catch on to if you are bad at multitasking, but even if you are your grades will reflect that. Make sure to participate.
Lindsay is a wonderful instructor. Her summer courses are more intense because of the shorter time frame, but her lectures are definitely worthwhile. Attendance is mandatory and she is always there to provide help when needed. Show up for class, do the assignments correctly, turn assignments in on time, and study for her quizzes/exams, etc.
TAKE HER. She is awesome and very entertaining!
She makes the course very interested. Her lectures help me retain so much information and she is hilarious as well! This class is super fun and I highly recommend it!!
Super funny. everything that is on the tests comes straight from her lectures, not so much from the book. she does give homework from the back of the book though. pretty easy class. get ready for public speaking because she makes you do speeches.
Great personality. Brought great energy to this otherwise boring subject. The activities we did were actually fun and the online assignments were actually interesting most of the time.
Super easy class. Tests are really simple. She doesn't lecture using a powerpoint, straight from memory. So you she doesn't use it as a crutch. Definitely recommend Ms. Hobbs! Don't miss more than 3 classes though, and don't miss during the week of your speeches. GREAT TEACHER!
Very engaging during her lectures. She has this way of making the entire lecture hall of 250 people laugh. It's a very enjoyable class. The tests are straight from her lectures. The speech is given in front of your lab class, and it's made to be as easy on you as possible. Make an outline, get comfortable with your peers, you'll do fine. Take her!
Ok to start off Ms Hobbs is one of the most incredible teachers on the face of this Earth. Her lectures and class have actually inspired me to go out into this world with confidence about speaking to the public. Ms Hobbs has taught me so many things about myself that I would not have known without taking her class. Thank you so much! Great teacher!
There wasnt a bunch of homework, shes really understanding and willing to help.
She is so so so funny. Make sure you do all your speeches and go to class and so your homework and study the basics and it's an Easy A.
Very good teacher. She has an amazing sense of humor. if you participate you get extra credit. she sometimes does random attendance. You miss a speech you go down a letter grade. Really the easiest interesting class ever. Lots of fun activities in lab classes. Give multiple speeches. Don't sit in the back on the floor, don't waste her time. FIESTY!
Professor Hobbs is down to earth and engaging. She loves to make jokes during lecture, but their not corny jokes at all. I enjoyed going to her lectures because she used real-life situations, sometimes from her personal life, to relate to our discussion on communication. If you want to learn and have fun at the same time, take her!
She cares about her honors students so much & wants to help out in any way possible to ensure that everyone passes with a nice grade! One word: AMAZING!!!!
Great lectures! She's really funny and makes her class relatable! Although she doesn't grade your papers or speechs, she has teacher assistants so you would have to go to one of their office hours to find about your grade. Extra credit is easy you can just take a survey she sends you.
She is such a funny person that you want to go to lecture! The only assignments are 3/4 small speeches, one big speech, one homework assignment, and 3 super easy tests. Literally just show up to lecture and listen and you'll get a B on each.
Mass lecture is not usually mandatory, but this is where all test material is given. Lab class attendance is mandatory or you lose participation points. I thought I would hate this class, but it ended up being my favorite class. Lindsay is hilarious & the lab class exercises helped make all of us not nervous about giving our speeches.
Definitely an easy A course. This professor is funny and gives no big tests except the final at the end. She does assign quizzes about every week but they are short and sweet. Also, no class on Friday!
I loved everything about this class! Her lectures are hilarious and interesting and tried to help us as much as she could. Lab classes are alright. The TAs are tough graders for sure but they give you good feedback.
Hobbs is hilarious and will keep you entertained the whole lecture. Just hope you have a good TA for the small group days for speeches.
If you have a problem with public speaking, every teacher is gonna be hard, but Hobbs is an absolute hoss and can make you come out of your shell. I am fortunate that i am outgoing but even the shy kids in class are starting to feel comfortable. the lady knows what shes doin and even made me feel better about my bacne. Take her 100 percent.
She is hilarious and relates her lectures to real life events. The TA for lab classes are tough graders so be prepared. Love Hobbs and will take again for 310.
Offers many chances for bonus points. The hardest thing were the speeches but if you do as she says and be confident you will do great.
I never dreaded going to her class!! She is hilarious and really loves what she does. If you are thinking about taking her, DO IT!!!!!
This class is basic and easy. However, you have to go to class, which usually isn't a big deal. However, if you miss more than three classes, every missed class is a drop in your FINAL LETTER GRADE. If you miss four classes like me, she will drop you from an 89 all the way down to a C. Don't take her unless you ABSOLUTLY HAVE TO.
If you have the chance to take this class of have Professor Hobbs for ANY class DO it! This is the best class I have ever taken. Professor Hobbs is the funniest person I have ever met. I would go listen to her lectures all over again if I could because theyre basically just her hilarious life stories yet somehow you will learn so much.
I had her for fall semester. She is the best professor I ever had. She is very caring and is respectful towards everyone. She does tophat assignments and the homework is on there. If you do the work you should be doing, then you will pass like I did. Her notes are exactly the exams. There are lab classes, so be prepared to give out speeches.
She is super nice and really funny in lectures. I had to take this class for my major and I really wasn't excited about public speaking, but Professor Hobbs does lessen the blow. I would say the lab was worse because almost every single class we had to give an impromptu speech.
Told great stories and jokes, easy to talk to, and material was mildly interesting, but that's about it. For an Honors course, I really wasn't impressed. Journal assignments were interesting, but I can't say my mind was truly stimulated. It's two weeks from the end of the semester and I don't have a SINGLE grade posted. She could do better, tbh.
Her lectures were really funny and entertaining. It really matters on your lab instructor because theyre the ones who grade your speeches. I had Hailey Rummel and she was super cool. Hobbs takes random attendance so just go. You have to buy the textbook because that's where the homework is. Tests weren't hard but I would study a little.
Absolutely loved this class and Mrs. Hobbs! Would highly recommend this class with her!
Honestly, I don't know how Hobbs has good reviews. She's one of the most conceited, obsessive, and just outright rude professors I've had the displeasure of taking. She assigns HER book for class, but it's OK bc she "doesn't make any money off it." Lab instructors are cool, but Hobbs sends so many emails you can't even sort through your inbox.
I actually loved this class, which is strange because I dont usually like online classes. Her class is well-organized and interesting. I lucked out because I hate public speaking, but I took this class when it was online only, so I only had to speak in front of my camera, which wasnt so bad. Id definitely take a class with her again!
Absolutely loved taking her online, due to covid-19. Super organized, straight forward, easy to understand, and simple assignments and homework. She communicated with us extremely well and addressed any problems we had. I definitely extremely 100% recommend taking her class, it was such a smooth ride and very interesting.
Genuinely had me interested 99% of the time in her class when she would give lectures. Did an outstanding job of integrating her book lessons into her lectures while maintaining my level of interest. Requires that you learn to communicate more efficiently through many exercises in our lab classes. An outstanding teacher overall.
Best professor at UL, hands down. Granted, there are professors I haven't taken, but I stand by my statement. You will never enjoy a course more than one taught by Hobbs. Despite teaching a million sections, she manages to keep her Moodle organized and student-friendly and her lectures super hilarious and engaging. No doubt, you will LOVE her!
Such a great professor and pretty much an easy class. A quiz, essay of at least 300 words, and chapter review each week.
I accidentally mixed up the times for a test and missed it. I asked her politely if she could let me take it. She was very rude and told me she couldnt. So I started the class out with an F. They do not help you out with late assignments. No remorse for a students hectic life. The class itself is easy, but heaven forbid you miss an assignment.
i cannot stress this enough, take this course online. it will be the easiest course u will ever take. theres like 4 exams total and plenty of homework assignments. you have to submit a video of you reading off a paper at the end of the semester. super easy
Super easy class with lots of grade opportunities! Weekly homework out the book and occasionally adds in small papers (300 words)! Three exams for the year and super easy to pass if you study the notes from the book! Theres one speech you do but its not bad! 10/10 recommend this class!
Took CMCN online with Professor Hobbs and it was super easy. Online assignments are due every Sunday, but they're really easy to do. One written assignment each week but they're opinion-based and only 300 words. 3 exams and only 25 questions each and are really easy.
Weekly hw due every sunday. Papers (300 words minimum) every once and awhile. Three exams -which are easy and a speech! Super easy class to pass if you do the work! Very easy A
Very easy class if you are looking for an online elective. Class consist of quizzes and discussion forums. the quizzes can be found on quizlet for the most part.
took her human communication class and absolutely loved it. there was never any confusion when it came to the course work, all homework that she assigned related exactly to what the assigned reading was, and she gave opportunities for bonus points.
The entire course was open, and everything was due at the same time before the term ended. It was all very easy and pretty interesting. It was a relief to not worry about due dates for at least one of my classes, and I was able to breeze through multiple chapters in one sitting when I did do this coursework.
I've never met this professor, but her class is super easy. Just do the Top Hat assignments, submit the easy papers, and your exams are super easy.
This was an online course. It's an easy class to get an A in. I got a B because I fell a little behind in my other classes I pushed this course to the side lol. Take Lindsay, she's great!
It is kind of hard to say if she is a good teacher or not because she did not actually teach anything. It was completely online so you you just to read mostly. She did give many chances for getting bonus points and it is super easy to past the test if you actually read the textbook.
Obnoxiously loud and self assured, she makes harry potter references and sexist jokes constantly like some facebook mom. assigns loads of busywork homework, easy as pie but takes a while to slog through, not hard, but very annoying if you do not gel with her.
Ms Hobbs has some of the most amazing lectures I ever heard in my life! They are not only very informative but if you pay attention they can be more of a large group conversation, as she encourages feedback from the group! To get the most out of the class BE INVOLVED! Also I dont understand how some can get an incomplete and say the class is easy?
She's a great teacher, I find her lecture's easy to listen to and follow along. She is very funny and her test are fairly simply, if you pay attention in class you should have no hard time passing. There is plenty of extra credit opportunities, be ready to give speeches though.
Lindsay Hobbs was a GREAT professer. She was always sending us emails reminding us about homework and speech dates. Spent most of our time with our TA, but Lindsays lectures were always interesting. Would 100% reccomend.
I LOVED Mrs. Hobbs. I would take her class again just for her. Her tests are not very hard and we only had 3 exams. But, she did have a lot more homework on Top Hat. But she also offered so much extra credit. We only had 3 speeches (2- one minute speeches and 1- four minute) and the TA in charge of lab class was nice and graded us fairly easy.
so wrote her own textbook and it really really shows
Her lecture class does NOT require attendance, but the lab class does. There is a decent amount of homework, but most of it can be found on quizlets if you're feeling lazy. You'll get the most out of this class if you pay attention to the lectures and put effort into your speeches for lab class. You won't fail. She's also very, very funny.
lindsay hobbs was one of my favorite professors! she was extremely communicative with her students, and the atmosphere was very welcoming and lighthearted. just keep up with your homework, put in effort, and youll be fine! i looked forward to all lectures! my TA, julianne michael was excellent was well. very sweet and helpful.
Ms. Hobbes was a good teacher with clear guidelines for the course. We had weekly discussion boards with quizzes based on the chapter of the week. Three tests throughout the course based on the previous material. Easy enough, as long as you complete all the work you will pass with an A
The only attendance that was mandatory is lab.
very good and interesting lectures, and easy quizzes and everything else. wants you to do good. only complaint I have is I missed my "final" quiz for her because i got the dates wrong, she wouldn't let me take it or do makeup work to replace the lost points, i ended up with a B, but the communication with her in that time lacked.
this is a super easy and fun class the only and only thing is she does NOT answer emails and is never in her office, she is impossible to get ahold of whenever you need something, but other than that the class is not hard at all
I love Mrs. Hobbs. She made her lectures fun and entertain while still making us retain the information. Your lecture will be split into lab groups and attendance is taken every day in labs so beware. Overall a great class and a great professor
Always go to your lab, not the lecture. So it really depends if you have a good TA or not. The few times we have to go to lecture, she is 20 minutes late to a 50 minute class. Strict that if you get 3 absences they drop a letter grade. Have to buy her textbook that she wrote for about $70. The course is very easy.
Her lectures were so funny and enjoyable. We had lab sections and the assignments were always easy. She used Top Hat for assignments and they were always graded easily. Attendance is mandatory but isn't at the same time. You can miss mass lecture but there is random attendance checks. If you're scared of public speaking, she makes it bearable.
I was not a big fan of this class but it was an easy A. The class is split into lectures and labs and whenever we would have lectures she would show up 30 minutes late and then have her TAs lecture us about our attendance. Also my TA was always commenting about how she was really difficult to communicate with. Online exams which were easy.
Honestly my professor was more my TA than Hobbs. I don't know how there are so many great reviews of her because we only had about 10 lecture classes with her throughout the whole semester. I did not seem like she cared about this class at all and left everything for her TAs to do.
Hobbs is easily one of the best professors I've had at UL. Although she did not have a lot of classes, she communicated well that she had a lot going on personally--and was still accessible. She is hilarious and is so understanding. Even if you don't need this class, TAKE IT!! Hobbs is a peach and was seriously the highlight of my semester.
took her hybrid course, she was fun, was a chill class. Easy assignments, so if you failed you most likely didn't do the assignments. Though the speeches we have to do is what stopped me from getting a A, being that I just don't like public speaking but I still improved throughout the semester and finished the class with a high B.
The class was spelled out, took it in the summer intersession. No problem at all.
Professor Hobbs makes her lectures entertaining while keeping the content engaging. Attendance is mandatory for labs, but the course overall is pretty straightforward. Unstuck ai proved helpful for class prep.
Super funny and nice! Just please... SHOW UP TO CLASS. You only get 3 unexcused absences, period. Besides that, she offers a bunch of bonus points and all you need to do is stay on top of the busywork. It's easy.
Ms.Hobbs was great! Vey clear communication, and a very good sense of humor. Hobbs does remind you about any important and upcoming assignments or things on campus in general. All you have to do is complete homework and show up to class and you will be great. 😊
Class consisted of Lecture on Monday and Labs on Wednesday and Friday. You will have to give some impromptu speeches but they were not bad.
Mrs. Hobbs was an amazing teacher. Her lectures were always funny and makes you want to learn. Her tests were so easy. The homework is easy and don't require much work. Only a few speeches that you have to give and even if you do bad on a speech, she gives so many bonus point opportunities that there is no way you can't receive a passing grade.
I like this class. It will help you learn lots about communication and how to operate societies in groups.
I found her class very enjoyable when you sit in front of the class, and she makes her lectures interesting. You will be assigned a TA for the lab class which means that it might be in a different classroom than the lecture hall. You are given 24 hours to take the test online; there were only 3 tests.
Funny professor with very slow-paced curriculum. Not heavy in major public speaking, the most we ever did was impromptu speeches in front of at most 30 people. Online exams as well.
My class was supposed to be in person but ended up being online. Professor Hobbs is really sweet and funny, but she is IMPOSSIBLE to get ahold of. She also doesn't have office hours unless you request them, which is impossible too. The course is super easy, though, just a quiz and forum every week. Very slow grader also!
So funny and gives out SOOOOO much binus points. Such an easy A if you just go to class
I love Lindsay I would def take her again, even if its an early class she wont make it feel like an 8am
TAKE HER!! She's my favorite professor on campus, and she's literally the sweetest, funniest, and smartest! She gives so many bonus opportunities! Her homework is so easy and can be done in less than 20 minutes. Attendance is mandatory, but her lectures are literally amazing! She could be a comedian; she's so funny! 100% % Take her class!!
GO. TO. CLASS. especially the lab classes. if you do, you will be fine. i did not, so that's on me. incredible teacher though.
Mrs. Hobbs is amazing! I learned so much in her class and she is so caring!
This is one of the professors who will brighten your day just from her welcoming smile. She is always cheerful. Not to mention, she's curved/gave so much extra credit just because she can(her words). She's an absolute sweetheart who I would recommend to anyone in a heartbeat. If you need help with speaking publicly, or in general- She's your girl!
She is so funny. I am not a morning person, but she made having a 9 am class so worth it. Also- GO. TO. CLASS.
She literally talks and jokes the whole 50 min. Her TA's take attendance everyday. She gives out bonus points ALOT and she is so understanding. Her room was always cold only downside. Her exams and homework are 100% online! On exam days, there is no class. There were only 2 speeches too. Take her!
I absolutely loved and i would take her again in a heartbeat! She is a hilarious and so kind to her students. She gives out so many bonus opportunities and her hw are easy. Only downside is her class was cold i thought i was gonna get pneumonia ha. Take her if you can!!
TAKE HER!! Amazing, entertaining lectures! Attendance is mandatory, but I looked forward to attending lectures. Gives so many bonus point opportunities. You will make an A if you attend class and turn in your assignments on time. Exams are all online and open book. Only problem with this course was some of the TA's not doing their job.
Most of the class was the TA's teaching. She would be there for lectures, and she would trail off into tangents constantly. Slow grader. Would frequently change our plans for assignments, which made keeping up with course expectations confusing.
Amazing professor and great courses!!
