Class is composed of 4 speeches, discussion posts every day (as attendance but easy 100), 2 exams (tells you exactly what is on them), & 2 quizzes. Everything is very clear & speeches only have to be 4-6 minutes long. Record yourself & post to youtube.

This was probably the easiest class I have ever taken. As long as you turn in your work on time, you'll do great in her class. Nothing was hard and if you ever have a question, don't be hesitant to email her. She replies quite fast and will answer any question you have. What I like about her is that she is willing to work with her students 1 on 1.

Professor Meek is one of my absolute favorite professors. In this class the exams were both open note and your main points came from your speeches. You have 2 speeches by yourself, one group, and one partner. She understands that most people are very nervous to speak in front of a crowd and doesn't take off a lot of points on speeches.

We had 6 ted talk assignments, which were time consuming, I will say. Also, we had 4 major speeches, which is 60% of your grade. I do recommend prof Meek!
