She is great. You go through the book and she gives examples. She also will tell you to star things that will be on the test. You give speeches throughout the year. She will help you if you need it. She is a great professor. TAKE HER CLASS!!

She's an awesome teacher. When going through the book during class, she tells you what to star. The things that you star are test questions. The department makes the tests kind of confusing, but as long as you study the questions given and memorize what she told you to star, you'll do just fine on the exams. She is lenient in grading speaches too.

She is a wonderful person and professor. What you learn in her class will help you tremendously. The tests are difficult but she goes over what will be on the tests.I highly recommend taking her class.

Megan is a great professor. She tells you whats going to be on the exams. The exams are extremely hard, but she doesn't make them, the course director does. I thought they were passable though, but make sure you go to class, follow speech guidelines, and study for the midterm and final. She's one of the nicest teachers at UT. I would take her.

Best teacher I have had so far!! Grades very nicely and work is easy to keep up with. She really encourages you to be outgoing and to speak up. Corrects you if you say "um" which helps you speak in everyday situations.

Megan is really nice and helpful, tells you what will be on the exam and grades pretty easily. The course itself sucks, but if you need a communicating orally class, definitely take Megan. She's also really willing to help and gives you a lot of freedom in the assignments, and she really cares about her classes. Definitely recommend.

First off, I suggest taking 240 over 210. 240 is more fun and easier. However, if you need to take 210 megan is a great choice. She tells you what will be on the midterm and the final. They are both departmental exams though and are pretty hard. you will need to study alot for those. Megan is a fair and unbias grader. I got an A in the class.

a little bit condescending...but overall a good professor

She is awesome. Grades very easy and gives answers to midterm and final exam.

megan is a great teacher. love her class and she really engages with her students. during lecture, she'll tell you what to star so it really helps during exam time. fair grader. take her!

GREAT teacher. If you dont take her youre crazy. She makes you feel extremely comfortable while speaking. And she is very helpful. Loved this class because of her and im terrified of speaking.

Megan rules! She is really nice and really funny. The class is not very difficult, but if you put in some effort it will be reflected in your grade. You can only miss a class or two. She also gives you clues on what to study for the multiple-choice midterm and final. She's great!!

Megan is a wonderful teacher. She makes sure that you are as comfortable as possible before you give your first major speech. However, that does not mean it is the easiest. She expects effort to be put into her class and that will be reflected in your grade. Her midterm and final are really easy and always tells you what you need to study.

She is very clear with her requirements, and does know what she's talking about. I personally find her personality to be intolerable and somewhat condescending, as she seems to think we don't understand simple concepts like "introduction" and "3 main points of a speech". Personality aside, the class is fairly clean-cut and you know what she wants.

Good teacher but terrible class. More boring than economics, more useless than philosophy. All 210/240 speech classes structured in such a way as to suck out all fun. Attendance taken (in all speech classes).

Awesome lady. Very Clear on instructions. Very helpful. Easy to talk to. Take her.

Megan is a very professional and enthusiastic professor. She made class fun. I looked forward to class (unless I had a speech that day of course!). She understands that most students are shy/ have trouble giving speeches in front of a class and really tries to make the process easier.

Nice lady, cares about the subject. I was scared of public speaking at first, but Megan makes the subject better by making sure you get to know the people in the class. It was easier than I expected, so if you have to take public speaking, take Megan's class!

Megan is great! I took her honors speech class and it definitely was not as scary as I thought. She offers full days to go over outlines. There's only 2 tests in the class, and they are extremely easy. As long as you follow the rubric and guidelines, you'll do great. She's super nice as well.

The class itself is really helpful, Public Speaking was probably the most helpful class I took, but it had nothing to do with the professor. She's nice and is very clear on what she expects for speeches, but the textbook pretty much teaches the class.

I would not consider this class an "Easy ". She def. requires you to work to hit the criteria for speeches, BUT you will be a better speaker leaving. Guaranteed. She is SO nice (comes off as formal at first, but she is cool as class progresses!), helpful ALWAYS, genuinely wants you to learn. Have to read, show up to class, but is worth it.

I loved Megan and her class was really helpful! I definitely got better at public speaking as the class went on. To get a good grade, you have to show up to class and work pretty hard on the speeches but I would recommend her! She's also generally nice and understanding.

Megan is an amazing teacher. I was absolutely terrified of public speaking going in to this class. My first speech was horrible but she gave feedback saying "I know you will succeed in this class." Many times I stayed after class to get feedback from her and she gives lots and lots of helpful advice for your speech.

Megan is awesome. She's one of the best teachers I've ever had. She makes class fun and really cares about her students. She can be a tough grader on the speeches, but overall I would recommend her.

Megan is a super teacher! You will learn a lot, but she is very very picky. It's not easy to make an A on a speech. As far as test/quizzes are concerned, there is only an online midterm and final. Must attend class because there are short book assignments due almost every class and she doesn't accept them late. Great class but isn't an easy A.

LOVED having Megan as a teacher. She was so helpful. If you show interest, she is willing to help. I wish all my teachers were as caring as her. You get what you put into the class. An A is attainable, but you will have to work for it.

Most people hate public speaking, including myself. Megan can seem unapproachable/intimidating sometimes, but she tells you exactly what she expects in your speeches. Going to practice with her will boost your grade. Research for the speeches can be time consuming.

Megan is very approachable and kind. She makes herself very available for you to practice your speech and get corrections before you present to the class. I would recommend going to her before every speech, it helps you grade sense you can fix errors before you present. You get what you put into it.

Great person. Clear she is very interested in her field and very willing to help in any way she can. Strict on grading for her field, really have to get comfortable with the classroom.

Like most, I dreaded this class before it started. However, Megan is a fantastic instructor. She uses simple techniques to bring you out of your comfort zone. She will tell you she doesn't give grades, you earn them. She is clear in her expectations. There are no surprises. This ended up being my favorite class of the semester.

fun class. have to work harder than you think. gets you better at public speaking but won't be an easy A.

She has clear standards for the speeches and very formulaic layouts. She is kind of a harsh grader. She tries to make a familiar and comfortable classroom dynamic to make the speeches less daunting.

Megan has kind of an off-putting demeanor that can make her seem a little unapproachable, but she takes her job seriously. She definitely has VERY high expectations, but she's always willing to give feedback and her grading criteria are very clear. If you're really anxious about public speaking, I wouldn't recommend her.

I absolutely loved Megan. She was so so amazing, and even though I absolutely hate public speaking, she made me appreciate it and feel completely comfortable while giving speeches. She gives amazing feedback and really wants you to make a good grade in the class, so she will do everything she can to help you get there.

Megan comes off very strict and kind of scary at first. However, she is very nice and makes the class feel like a family. She is a very tough grader, but she lets you know exactly what to work on to improve. She makes public speaking seem much more manageable and I highly recommend her.

Megan is honestly really cool, and at first I thought I would hate this class because literally no one wants to take a speech class. It ended up being one of my favorite classes! She's tough but fair and really made me a better speaker. Would take again.

very college student friendly prof. was involved in greek life & is a house mom for a sorority right now. actually put work into ur speeches & it's an easy A. she's very understandable w speaking fears & weaknesses. willing to work w you outside of class. only 2 tests-midterm & final (both online). must buy the txtbook to take them. def recommend!!

Megan is an AWESOME teacher. She grade pretty toughly, but if you put in the work then you will be fine. Most of the grades are very easy to get 100% on, the only thing that you really need to worry about is the speeches.

Megan is a tough grader but she is very caring. She will put in as much work to help you as you are willing to put in yourself. Most of the projects are super easy A's. The speeches are the only thing you need to watch out for.

I personally LOVE Megan. She will tell you exactly what you need to do to earn the grade you want. She is funny and very caring! Her feedback is super useful, and if you wanted to practice your speech outside of class with her that was totally an option. You work for the grade you get for sure. Put in effort & follow guidelines and you are golden.

I was terrified that the speeches are worth the majority of the points. However, Megan was so caring and understanding. She will help you succeed! You need to put in the work, but you will be a better public speaker for it.

Great person. Great professor. Highly recommend

I really don't think she is as hard as everyone says. I got very good grades on all of my speeches and I put an average amount of work into them, but I am a comfortable public speaker. The honors section gets several days off a semester because the class is so small. You will have no problems if you are comfortable with public speaking.

The speeches are definitely the hardest thing about her class; the midterm and final are a breeze. Megan tells you exactly what to work on and what she wants, but she will grade harshly; overall, though, you get the impression that she's really proud of you when you do well. Despite myself, I found myself enjoying her class.

Megan is probably one fo my favorite people on this planet. While the speeches are quite difficult and she pushes you, she is encouraging and the class is rewarding. Follow the guidelines exactly and PRACTICE before you give your speech (it is very obvious to her who has not practiced). I despise public speaking, and this was my favorite class.

If you want to learn how to be a successful public speaker, take this class. If you are looking to do the bare minimum and get an A, don't take this class. Megan rewards hard work and improvement. She acknowledges that people are afraid of public speaking and helps you out big time, if you're willing to work. Does yoga before speeches, cool lady.

Megan is the best! She is a hard grader, but she gives very clear guidelines on what you need to do for an A, B or C. She is one of the best professors I have had because she actually cares about her students and she is very accessible outside of class.

Really sweet lady, cares a lot about you. Quizzes are very hard she is a tough grader but you should come to class to listen, take good notes and read over the textbook.

Megan was so much fun to have as a professor. Even if you are not a Comm major I highly recommend this class. Megan is very kind and is available almost all the time for help. She truly cares about her students. If you work hard on the projects and papers, but still receive a C on most test you will still pass. She sets you up for success.

The criteria was kind of difficult and the test were very hard but she was cool

Amazing professor, is very personable and loves to get to know her students. She is a hard grader but as long as you pay attention and do the work you'll love it.

she is so kind, and actually tries to get to know people. everyone I know loves her and I genuinely enjoy going to class. absolutely take it!

Lectures were long but not horrible and if you're good at getting your work done you'll be fine. She's very specific when grading so go over your work a bunch before turning it in. It felt like she's a professor for people that are very outgoing and loud and do well in groups

Fields is really engaging with students. Class is compromised of long lectures but she gives lots of good examples in class that help you understand the material. There's a huge group project at the end that can make or break your final grade which is really unfortunate. Quizzes are easy if you know your stuff, she sends out quizlets for review too

I don't understand her bad reviews. If you go to class and pay attention you will be completely fine. She has very clear grading criteria but if you follow the rubric you will get a perfectly good grade. I honestly loved her class and would 100% take her classes again if I could. Definitely recommend her class!

Megan is pretty nice and tries to make everything as clear as possible for you. Go to the lectures, keep up with the weekly assignments, read the grading criteria (!!) and you'll do great. She's really personable and tries to keep lectures relevant, but is fairly strict on deadlines. Overall I'd recommend her. (Warning: she lowkey has crazy eyes)

Overall pretty good but a very specific grader

Really good professor overall, people say she is a tough grader but if you read the grading rubric on the assignments and follow it you will get a good grade. Also does a good job at making sure we understand the concepts we are learning in the lecture. She does post the lecture power points, but they are very vague so be sure to go to class.

Megan is a great professor. If you show up to lectures and take notes, you will do fine in the class. It is extremely group-project heavy!!!! The tests are online and there is no class on the days we have tests or important assignments. She is very kind and easy to talk to. Would recommend.

The class is relatively easy with one short assignment most weeks. There are 2 big projects, one is a group project and they are very specific and take a lot of time. The quizzes are online, but proctored.

I went back and fourth on Megan, but she ultimately won me over towards the end. I got lucky and had a great group for the video project, but I can see how a bad group could ruin the class. I went to her office hours and she was VERY helpful, it just requires finding her her outside of class, as when I spoke to her in class she wasn't great.
