She taught an interesting and fun class, yes it was a bit difficult, but if you do what your supposed to you will come out with a good grade and a much better understanding of Speech. It really aided me in my public speaking as well. Thanks Lynn!

She is an excellent teacher who enjoys having fun in the class, but is serious about the speaches she expects students to give. pay attention and follow the speach guidelines and you will do great!

I really enjoyed Harper's class. She makes the impossible, possible. She is easy to understand and easy to speak to. Take this class.

Really nice teacher overall, granted she can have her off days just like everyone! If you do all 4 speeches plus the other written work, theres no way of failing. She helps you develop and deliver the best speech she possibly can. Attendance is mandatory and if you miss more than 2 she starts taking points off. Otherwise not too bad at all.

Great teacher, some how makes speech fun. Do the work and you should have no issues with getting an A.

awesome teacher, easy class. everyone should take speech with lynn.

Lynn is great she sweet super kool. She has here moments watch out for empty water bottles.. She a great teacher and coach

Lynn was really fun. She makes a very comfortable atmosphere and makes public speaking much easier! just follow the guidelines, come to class, be respectful and you're set!

Harper is the coolest instructor I have had this year. I hate talking in front of people and I thought I would just die! She has a way of making you reeally comfortable. This is the instructor to take for public speaking if you really fear it.

She is one of the most wonderful teachers I ever had. She is intelligent, cool and very funny.You learn while you have a good time. I loved it!!! Definitely recommending her!!!!

Lynn was AWESOME....as other people have said probably one the greatest teachers i have had. Dont buy the book cause the two tests are off the power points. Offers A LOT of extra credit so take advantage of that and you will get an A.

She's definitely a great teacher. Really knows what shes doing. As long as you study the given material, tests are a breeze.

I have never had an easier class before in my life. She makes it so easy to toi follow. If you show up and take the notes off the powerpoints and do the work which isn't much then you will breeze through. DON'T BUY THE BOOK...all of the material is on powerpoint for the test. I actually looked forward to going to this class.

First off, DO NOT BUY THE BOOK! She does not use the book ever. All her test questions are taken off the notes you take in class. She is a teacher that will make public speaking easy! I loved having Harper as a teacher and would take her again.

Very resourceful and helpful. A master at her craft. Learned alot and didnt give assignments where you had to play the guessing game. Grade a instructor, down to earth and intelligent!

Harper is the BEST. I had so much fun in her class.Keep it up Harper!!!Take her class you'll be glad you did.!!

This is the second class I've taken with Lynn Harper. I have learned a lot- both with interviews and public speaking. Don't ask questions that are printed in the syllabus because she won't answer them. She sets the bar high for speeches- which is good because I've really had to put some work into them. If I had to take speech- I would take her.

if it is one person i could picture drinking with at the bar after class it is harper. harper is cool calm and collected. Her grades are based on her speeches and if you try you will do ok even if you stink at giving speeches. just dont be a punk in her class or else she will stick you one, cause she don't mess around!

I hate public speaking and was nervous taking speech but harper is amazing!! Def. recommend her as a teacher. Easy A and all you have to do is try! She is the best by far! Great teacher!!

harper rocks the casbah. she is the coolest teacher ever!!! I hope she gets a raise because she deserves it. She is on top of things, she is more than helpful and has a sense of humor. Her grading takes some time but If i had to do another speech class you bet your cookies it would be with the Harpster!!!!!

Harper really helped puts you at ease with public speaking. I truly recommend her and will hopefully get to take another one of her classes soon.

very down to earth. Harper expects you to do your work and participate. Dont try to bs her, because it wont work! Learned alot and had fun!

first of all DONT BUY THE BOOK you wont use it. she makes public speaking easy. but you have to work for your grade. it wont be a walk in the park. just dont get on her bad sad, she does give many extra credit options.also attendance is mandatory overall good teacher

She is super cool. Very wacky. Speeches aren't that simple though. If you complete your speeches in the right time and do all the easy assignments, this should be an easy class for you.

She's a great teacher, she's very direct and blunt which I really like.

Harper is awesome! She made public speaking so much more relaxed. Speeches are easy if you follow the criteria. The midterm and final are so easy it's ridiculous. Don't buy the book because she doesn't use it and even tells you not to buy it. She's an easy grader I think. I got an A on all my speeches and in the class and I put in decent effort

Wow, after reading these previous comments I have to disagree. Harper is certainly a tough instructor but she is more than fair. She has a great deal of energy, however when my classmates don't listen she will make it known. She is only trying to get students to critically think and listen. She states that all the time.

She isnt always helpful and she makes it clear when she thinks someone asked a stupid question. if you want her to like you dont interrupt her or talk too much in her class be respectful. shes a lenient grader on speeches though, people who have really obvious nervousness but well organized speeches get mid to high Bs.

Harper is a little cooky, but if you do the work you'll get a good grade. She's can also be very understanding. Book isn't really used at all, I think I had to read like two chapters total.

If you want a teacher that knows what they are talking about, is strict but fair. You can't go wrong with Lynn Harper. If you show that you have worked on your speeches she is very fair with the grade. If you slack off she'll grade you as so. She doesn't take disrespect at all. Act like an adult and she'll treat you like an adult.

Harper was one of the better teacher's i have had. I was nervous about speech but she made the class enjoyable. The speech criteria is clear-cut. She can have her moments thought. As long as you try and listen to her feedback you will do great.

Lynn Harper is a wonderful teacher to have! The first day of class, she will list ALL of the expectations in her class - pay attention, read syllabus before asking question, and that you have to work harder to fail then pass. All that is said that first day is true and I was able to pass with a +A

Harper is a very interesting professor. This class is to help you work with groups. She tells you what she wants and then you need to do what she says. She likes to trick you and you need to interact with your group to find the problem. Yeah she has a bit of an attitude but as long as you follow directions you should be good. She is a tough grader.

I thought Harper was more than fair. Yeah, she is tough but she also cares about you and your grade. I listened to my classmates talk about how hard she is, but that is not true at all. She puts all the assignments on blackboard and the rubric for every speech. Things were a little crazy this semester because she had surgery. I still got an 'A'.

She is GREAT. Inspirational, passionate, smart, fun. I took a Honor Class Fundamentals of Speech and it was stressful because of the subject, not because of her. We did a lot of team exercises and had very short lectures. There are 4 speeches and it is hard, but you learn how to deal with stress and what to do when you go "blank". Take it.

I loved taking her class. She does joke around, but it is all in good spirits. She doesn't give many tests/quizzes which is nice. She will help you if you ask her. She will give you second chances if she can see you are trying. I recommend her class.

If you are whiny, sensitive, and are used to getting away with things: do not take her class. However, if you put in effort, have thick skin, a morbid sense of humor, and are on time - this class is an easy A. During speeches she will not let ANYTHING distract you and is always there to help! Replying to emails is so/so. Loads of Extra Credit!

I took this class my very first semester at CLC and after taking this class i felt it was a good practice for future classes. Then again 3 years of speech years before were helpful.

I've taken Harper for two different classes. Maybe I had a different professor than what I've read on this site, because while she is tough she also knows her craft. I would take her again. What I learned in her class had helped me in other classes. You really have to pay attention and not slack off.

Helpful, encouraging, organized, and professional.

She is a good teacher. If you follow in class and don't slack off you will pass. Study her midterm and final papers that she gives you word for word! I found her funny and enjoyed her class but I know others did not. She does give pop quizzes so beware of those, if you miss them you can fall behind pretty quickly!

Harper rubbed me the wrong way at first. Then she grew on me, and the class was weirdly fun. If you take her, give her a chance. I suck at public speaking, but I got an A because I incorporated the elements she wanted & followed each rubric. Doesnt grade down if youre nervous or your voice quivers. Two rules: go to class & FOLLOW THE RUBRIC

Harper knows a lot about public speaking and I learned so much in this class. I don't like giving speeches, but if you follow her guidelines, you'll end up a much better and more confident speaker. I highly recommend her if you really want to improve on your presentation skills!

Don't listen to the negative reviews here! Harper is one of the most knowledgeable professors I've had at CLC and she's funny. She makes the class interesting with her quirkiness and she gives us a lot of freedom for developing our topics. You have to show up so you know what she expects and if you do, you'll easily get an A!

In my experience, Professor Harper was one of the best professors I've had at CLC. There may be some students who are critical of her because she expects you to take her class seriously. If you don't wanna learn speech or work very hard then you won't like her class. She challenges her students to do their best work!

I honestly was a little scared going into this class. I heard some negatives about her, but I loved her! I understand where the negatives might come from, but it's because she wants you to be successful. Read all directions clearly! Read the prompts entirely and you'll be fine. She grades strictly from the rubrics. As long as you follow it, good.

Harper is great!! Dont take yourself too seriously in this class, and get ready to laugh at yourself! Harper doesnt expect perfection, just read the rubrics and BE PREPARED!! Its embarrassing if youre not.

Awesome teacher, she knows how to express herself and helps others do the same, one of my favorite quotes from her that went like Dont do something someone else will like, that you like. Do what you like and go from there Literally the only problem I did have with her was: note card same size paper. its petty. Everything else was AMAZING.

she's a very funny lady, talks a lot. Make sure you at least try on the projects

shes good
