From a PSEO standpoint, she made me feel super welcome. She understands not everyone can public speak. The textbook is wrote by her and cost like $20. Her grading is very clear and outlines make it easy to fill in your topic. She truly cares about every single student and wants them to succeed. Great "campus mom" type attitude. Seriously love her.

Prof. Glueck talked about all of her experiences in college and I didn't really see how that applied to my life at college. I would not recommend taking orientation. It is a waste of time and money. If you're looking for a one credit class take a physical class like pilates. Do not take orientation. It isn't worth it!!!!

Professor Glueck takes forever to give you back your scores. She is a sweet lady but super old fashion and not good with technology. You won't know your grade until the end of the semester. Don't take this class if you expect an easy A. You NEED the textbook if you want to pass.

She is organized and tells you what you will be graded on for speeches. However, does not know how to use D2l. So didn't know my grade until I was doing my next speech and I couldn't improve on my next speech because didn't get her feedback or my classmates feedback. She should learn how to use D2l and the class would be better.

Lisa is so sweet! She makes the handbook herself (and you can tell she works hard on them), so be sure to do her study guides thoroughly. Her tests aren't like other classes, so they're a little harder. She'll probably give you her phone #, so call her if you need help. Just make sure to show up, do the study guides and be nice to her!

Prof. Glueck is one of the sweetest and most genuine professors I've ever had. Her class was completely online for me. She's terrible when it comes to technology but she tries. A handbook is required, but it's only like $15. She also writes the handbook and changes it slightly every year, so I would not buy from a previous student.

I expect that my class with Dr. Glueck is not fully indicative of her potential as an educator. I had her for an online class during COVID and her lectures were, admittedly, very messy. However, she gave us the textbook she wrote for free. We never had assigned reading or homework. Just 2 projects and 3 tests. I feel she'd be better in person.

I would not take her. Look for a different professor. She doesn't know how to use D2L and you wont get feedback on speeches. Or know your grade unless you call her! So frustrating, doesn't reply to emails and if so takes days. Speech is a class most people dont enjoy but the professor should at-least try to make it enjoyable she did not.

terrible experience. For a comm. professor, she does not know how to communicate with students. She doesn't know how to send emails. Never answers phone calls. Never showed up to one of our meetings. Rude comments when people ask questions. ONLY TALKS ABOUT HERSELF. There aren't enough characters in this to describe how awful. Save your $ & time

I had Dr. Glueck twice and she's super sweet & understanding. The course is usually lecture-heavy and there's little work outside of class. The study guides are long but they're exactly what you'd expect on the test, so as long you study them thoroughly, you should do well on the tests. Her lecture style is informal which makes class fun!

She is awful at communication. She isn't tech savvy and will never read emails so you can only contact her in person but when you set up meetings she won't be there. I never received feedback on my outlines and was expected to give a good speech off of nothing. Her study guides are long but they are what's on the test but is a very hard grader.

Professor Glueck is a very sweet lady and is always down for a chat. But as much as I like her as a person and teacher, she is pretty tricky. This class isn't for you if you don't excel in test-taking to measure your knowledge of the content. Her tests are a large percentage of your grade, and the study guides are long and strenuous.

I really enjoyed professor Glueck. She had quizzes on material somewhat regularly but always did her best to make sure you understood the concepts. Her grading criteria was very clear once you understood what each term in the rubric meant (which she taught you). Use the study guides for exams and you should do great. Also visit her in office hours

Professor Glueck is a very outgoing and caring professor! She is an amazing human being and wants nothing more than you to succeed. It is a very challenging course and she is a difficult grader. You must go above and beyond to get a good grade particularly on exams. But overall a solid professor to have.

She is a very very kind person. The nicest professor I've had so far. But as far as class goes, it is fairly difficult. Just follow the rubrics closely and try your best. If she sees you putting in the effort, she's more likely to go easy on you. She's very passionate and wants you to succeed, you just need to be a little independent.

Although Professor Glueck is an amazing person, she has no sense of technology, you can't get ahold of her if you email her, the only way to contact her is to call her through her home phone number. Even if you call there is a 50/50 shot of her picking up. Also, she is very untimely with her grades. She is usually months late when putting in grades

At first I was unsure on how I felt about Dr. Glueck, but I really came to appreciate how clever she is and how much she appreciates hard work. I am someone who gets incredibly nervous for any kind of public speaking, but she was very understanding and didn't dock me any points for my obviously anxious delivery. Lots of laughs in this class!

Real hard to deal with. Will come late to class and take months to grade papers and will get defensive if you ask about it. Lectures are spent going on tangents about irrelevant information. You can tell she cares but in general she is very frustrating and the way she handles grading and class time is disrespectful to students.

Insanely biased political class for no reason, took 12 weeks to grade 3 page papers. Our entire grade consisted of 2 100 point tests and 1 20 point paper even though she said we'd have more ways to get points. She's a passionate/caring teacher but this class was terrible, bad time management and repeated irrelevant information every class period.

She put everything off until the very end of the semester. Overall we had three main speeches (one group for final) and two small speeches. But instead of doing the small speeches first to help us learn we did them last. She teaches this class VERY different than other professor in good ways but mostly bad ways. Lots of pointless lectures too.

If you need help, don't be afraid to ask her because she will totally do anything she can to help.
