she is a good teacher. if you do your work and practice, it's not so bad. just practice.
I really liked this class, but found that if you did not agree with the teacher on her opinions goodbye it's all over with. She does have her favorites! Very immature for a teacher.
She is one of the excellent teachers who I have ever taken. Her lecture is really cristal! Although she gives students a lot of assignments, you will succeed in this class by doing them. Also, she gives several extra credits. Do them, and you will get A or at least B!
She sucks.
yeah i hate responses
This teacher is amazing. you can tell she really in to her teachings. A tad bit of a smart ass but who isnt. But then again im like that so thats prolly why we got a long so well. Theres no favorites theres no kiss ass you either do the work or you dont. VERY easy there shouldnt be a reason for not getting an A in her class
Awesome professor. Micherri tells everything like it is with no ****. She brings out the agressiveness of even the most shy person, and she really gets across the content of the class. I NEVER practiced, did barely any research, showed up only about 70 percent of the time, and still got an A. This class is very easy - just do the work!
I loved her class...she is a good teacher
If you do what she tell you , you can pull off a decent grade. She very nice and all in all she a great professor
Awesome class, best i've ever taken. Her teaching is very easy and her tests are also very easy aslong as you study. I would love to take another class with her.
make sure you attend the class every day and do your work and you'll be fine
She is a really really good teacher. A lot of fun to be around and fits right in. Teaches very well. I didn't wnat to miss a class of hers because it was so fun. Speeches were nerve racking however she gives PLENTY of time to study and prepare them. HIGHLY recommend her!
If you are planning on taking Mrs. Wiggs speech class, I want you to do ONE important thing for YOURSELF. Look on the calandar to see if elcetions (i.e.: govenor, president,etc) are going to take place while you are in her class. If so, don't take her class until elections are over. Just trust me on this one. You'll thank me later.
Liked her hated her class!! Way too many group projects and expects you to spend alot of time outside the class preparing. Daily testa on chaps in book and current events. She tapes you, do not be late, and tells you that the world is not fair when putting you into groups. 3 weeks in class and did not give one speech. Totally sucked,I dropped.
Do not take this teacher during elections. Mrs Wiggs teaches political classes not speech. Many speeches about the government its just boring bla,bla,bla
PROF. WIGGS WAS A GOOD TEACHER BUT HER CLASS WAS REALLY HARD. YOU HAVE TO READ A TON OUTSIDE OF CLASS TO UNDERSTAND CAUSE SHE JUST BARELY TALKS ABOUT THE LESSON AND EXPECTS YOU TO KNOW FROM THE BOOK. YOU ALSO HAVE TO PREPARE WAY TO MUCH OUTSIDE OF CLASS IN A VERY SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. SHE WANTS A LOT OF DETAILED WORK IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.
She is a very good teacher. She's realistic and nice. She never makes anyone feel dumb or embarrased. But, you do have to do a lot of work and be on time to class. She gives daily quizes often on what should have been read (b/c we dont go over the text in class) and on current events. You'll learn a lot!
she is a very nice person. her class is hard as hell. expects you to do A LOT of reading!!!! if you dont like pub speaking take spch 9!!! if you decide to take her class...GOOD LUCK, MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!
People that say she's hard are just lazy as hell. Her work isn't hard per se, but it definitely isn't a piece of cake either. She really cares for her students on a personal level and wants you to succeed. Speeches are difficult in the sense that they take a while to prepare, but it's so worth it when you deliver them.
Ms.Wiggs was K00l and I thrououghly enjoyed her class, and at times her class was actually fun.
Worked with you not against you. I do not care for speech at all, but I did the work and gave her my best effort and it paid off with an A. Mrs. Wiggs is very approachable and always makes herself available. She is tough and gives alot of work, but she is fair. It irritates me to see others talking smack because I observed none of those actions.
i love how ur barely thinking of a question and liek she reads your mind and asnwers it right there. shes very helpful and available all the time. yes its hard and intense u have to keep up i donno how i passed lol dont miss a SPEECH (never)
Hated it!! She is hard and I didn't understand a thing!! It would be nice if she helped you improve and guide you a bit.
vary clear. good lady but marks off points without hesitation many people failed my class
I hate speaking in this class and dreaded it everyday but mrs. wiggs makes it ok :)she is a great teacher and as long as you do the speeches and really listen to what advice she gives you will do great! make sure you do the readings and go to SI sessions
i hated this class. it dragged and was super super boring. when i dropped i was so relieved. it really makes you stressed and the teacher does not help
Mrs. Wiggs is a cool teacher. She's very fair, and assigns very little homework, if she does it's really small. She's easy to get ahold of, and responds almost immediately. She wants her students to do well, so she works with you. Take her, if you have a choice.
I am a better public speaker because of Mrs.Wiggs, it was a great class. However, I gave a low clarity rating because she doesn't remember her own instructions and so she ended up taking points off my assignments and stuff, Even though she said it herself!! it was kind of annoying, but overall great class-- Just do the work, you will be fine!
Great teacher. If you listen in class and do exactly as she says you will get a A. All you have to do is practice your speeches before class. She shows you examples in class of what not to do during a speech. Pay attention and you will be fine.
Took her interpersonal communications class. Was absolutely awesome. Definitely not a class you are going to fall asleep in. She is upbeat and keeps things interesting. I will be taking speech 1 next semester but only if I can get in her class for it!
Although I received a B in her class, and was therefore a little disappointed, I really respect this teacher. I think our class was a little too harsh on her. She has a well-formulated plan all laid out in order for you to become a better speaker. This plan may not be clear to you at first, but it works. I can honestly say I'm a better speaker!!
i took wiggs for speech-9..i loved her class because she made it very interesting. she gives daily quizzes but there easy and based on the notes that we take in class. her exams arent hard as long as u study..i ended up passing the class with a B, although i would to take her again!
I got an A in her class, but her grading is very arbitrary. She was frustrating and infuriating at times, but she's a very likeable woman. We were guinea pigs, but if you're comfortable speaking then take her. I now know how to plan for speeches and how to keep an audience from straying.
took her class it was pretty easy!she expects u to be on time,attend class,& read the book.i barely read it but id advise you do!I received a C its passing but thats what u get if u dont read the book!she writes alot of notes which is helpful on daily quizes & tests.she doesnt really have a grading system but if u turn in your work u'll be fine!
I thought she was a very enjoyable teacher. She has an odd grading style but I learned alot in her class and am looking forward to taking her for speech 9 in the spring. You must attend class and read the textbook. Do not procrastinate for your speeches and be creative. If you're lazy don't bother taking the class
This class was so frustrating. I believe she grades too harshly on speeches, we cannot all learn to public speak at the same pace. She also spends too much time working on outlines and not enough on learning how to publicly speak well like the delivery of a speech. Take her class if you are ready to be stressed out.
Loved this class! Micherri was a great professor and honestly wanted you to become a more effective communicator.
you will not regreat taking this class.
It's a real college class people but I recommend her for sure. Great lectures with high energy. Make sure you follow her instructions and you'll be fine.
Read and outline your book before class. She checks notes. She is Always available! Take advantage of her help. Great class, I really enjoyed it.
I took her speech 9 class last year, and she was absolutely amazing. She is passionate about her subject, and it shows! She is very helpful, and her lectures are very informative, and easy to grasp. I highly recommend any of her classes. Great Professor!
What a great teacher! I took her class in the winter and still got an A. It wasn't super easy, I definitely had to work for my grade, but it wasn't super hard either. She was incredibly helpful and clear on what she wanted. As long as you attend and do what you're supposed to, you'll pass with no problems! It is a true college class.
Wiggs is a very good teacher. She is very clear, helpful and nice. She is strict, but fair. I would recommend her!
Amazing teacher, my favorite professor at RCC so far. Super helpful, funny, very down to earth and reasonable. A lot of work but very interesting subject; as long as you do what she tells you, you'll be fine.
Super nice teacher! learned a lot from her! not an easy A class, you do have to study. But not that hard.study for daily quizes!
One of the best teachers I have ever had. Clear, concise and she makes you think. Don't expect to slack off in this class, not allowed. Do the work and you'll do fine.
Very nice teacher and very helpful to students whenever they ask questions. You do a lot of reading though in her class, so be sure to read through the text and listen to the lectures carefully. I would recommend her for any of her communication classes. You learn a lot in the class.
Favorite teacher at RCC, she actually really gets to know and cares about each of her students. Never had a more helpful or caring professor, her classes aren't easy but they are do-able. Always there to help students & good sense of humor.
ONlY take this class if you want to be stressed out ! worst teacher so far here at rcc , completely full of herself , expects you to automatically learn things without her showing you . any other speech class is easier than this one , she video tapes you ! plus tailors the class to her favorite students .
this class kicked my butt ms.wiggs does not play i was extremely stressed out it was more work than English 1A and even if you are a seasoned public speaker she will some how make you nervous on speech day
Overall, she was a good teacher. You definitely can't slack off, nor is it an easy A, i worked hard for mine. However, she tells you exactly what she wants and as long as you do your speeches exactly by the rubric, you'll pass the class. I liked it, but i wouldn't do it again just because i don't particularly enjoy public speaking.
difficult class. There is an insane amount of work. The course is designed in a way which definitely helps the student improve their speaking skills, and it has a great atmosphere. That being said, she definitely has a tendency to explain the assignment after it was due. It is NOT an easy grade, but it will help you learn.
She is funny and light hear ted... But not when it comes to homework. She will only answer a question with a question. She says, "email me" and no one does because she doesn't answer any questions. Her assignments are hard to keep track of because there is so much homework and she is always changing it! DON'T TAKE HER!
Least helpful/relevant class I've ever taken. I counted down every second in this class. She grades based upon her own ridiculously detailed expectations and is snooty about helping her students. DONT DO IT!
Great caring teacher! Really helps you to develop your critical thinking skills. She is very helpful in class, and she's pretty funny. I enjoyed going to this class, plus I became really interested with the material. Definitely take this professor!
By far, the best teacher I have ever had. She is hard, but very interesting and teaches is such a way that makes it fun to listen to her lectures. I learned so much from her class. Her tests can be a big challenge, so study up. But she is well worth the challenge.
Truly my favorite professor. Incredibly nice and super funny. I laughed everyday in this class. Very easy if you listen to the fun lectures. Uses personal examples. She calls on you everyday but I was wrong half the time and she never made me feel dumb or wrong.Always gives you a chance and this was the first class I looked forward to!Love ya Wiggs
I absolutely loved this class! I was so afraid of public speaking but after taking this class I am now more confident in my ability to preform a well speech. I recommend this teacher if you really want to learn! Don't slack off and do all the work and you'll be okay .Over all she's one of my favorite teachers at RCC.
This is not a easy teacher. The subject matter seems pretty easy but the way she teaches can be difficult to understand. She's a very nice lady, just a cuff teacher. Mini quizzes every week, you have to take notes from the text, two midterms and a final, no study guide. BE prepared to work. I'm a hard working student and this class really pushed me
She's nice, chill, & pretty funny. She goes over the entire CH's & makes sure the class is on track. Too much unnecessary work is given in order to pass the class. She grades by percentages which makes it hard to keep track of your grade. You have to write about yourself a lot, which is boring. Notes are due every week. Quiz answers are online.
Great teacher! I loved her class. She makes class fun and is really helpful. I wish more teachers were like her :)
Ms. Wiggs was awesome! As long as you stay on track with the reading/notes she assigns, complete the homework, and come to class ready to learn you will have no trouble getting an A in this class. This class was the first class I took in college after being out of high school for 4 years and I had absolutely no trouble passing her class with an A.
She rants way too much and acts like she's so super intelligent. She's also contradictory and not very welcoming in her office hours. Not impressed.
You will never find another professor that cares more about your education and success. She constantly presses for you to be the best you can be. She also explains things in their simplest form so that everyone can understand what is going on. Best com. teacher ever.
Super sweet teacher. I really enjoyed her class and would strongly recommend it. I'm actually trying to sign up for another of her classes because I enjoyed her teaching so much. Heavy workload but definitely worth it. Takes a genuine interest in students, their lives, and their well-being.
She's awesome! The class isn't hard. You just have to do the work. Make SURE you do all of the notes for the chapters. You can look online for outlines and quizzes that she gives at the end of the chapters. The best part is that she tells you stories about how the stuff works in real life. She's really understanding.
Awesome professor! She really cares about her students and their success! She's funny and her lectures are fun and not boring. Highly recommend Mrs. Wiggs!
She teaches a "simple" topic of communications, but as you'll learn it is far from simple. It's actually mind blowing how complicated communication really is and Mrs. Wiggs does an incredible job of opening ones mind of how speaking a certain way directly affects your life. I would take any class from her.
Best class I have taken
She's chill, brah
She can appear to be mean and tough but she is a sweet heart. I took her winter semester and I wanted to drop the class the first day. I decided to stay and it was the best decision I have ever made. Actually challenged me and improved my public speaking skills. Cares for her students and pushes you a lot. Can be overwhelming if you don't focus.
Micherri was a phenomenal teacher! I took her for COM 9 in spring semester. There are a lot of assignments but they're very short (5-10 minutes) and are usually about you, which makes them extra easy. There are two midterms and a final as well as three projects but everything is very doable. If I was a COM major, I'd never take a different teacher
I took her for public speaking and it was by far the most miserable/stressful class i have ever had. The workload is completely unnecessary for a speaking class, she likes to keep you busy ALL THE TIME. She is a nice lady and seems to respect students and want to help you. I would not recommend this class unless you are taking it on its own.
Professor Wiggs is great and wishes the very best for her students. She gives great feedback in order to get you to where you need to be. Definitely one of my top professors.
Great professor! But be forewarned: she is strict and she is challenging. Expect to live that "3 hours of work per unit of class" rule for the entire semester. She assigns a lot of work for the course, but I truly don't regret doing any of it, as I learned so much about myself and others over the semester. Take her and get ready to learn!
Professor Wiggs is literally one of the most incredible professors on the planet. Yes, there will be quite a bit of projects, homework, and reading BUT you learn so much about yourself and communicating with other people. I would highly recommend every person taking this course as you will grow as a person. Take this class... seriously take it!
shes awesome and all but her humor gets old half way through the semester. She sometimes comes off as RUDE. she decides to assign like 5 diff assignments all at once towards the very end of the semester so prepare and do not procrastinate.
Great professor
She was the toughest grader for speeches. She will give your rough drafts back over and over again with ANNOYING comments. She screams a lot on class. Her group project was garbage. Would definitely not recommend her.
You know how a good parent does what is best for their kids even if they hate them for it? That parent is Mrs. Wiggs. For her public speaking class she assigns topic sheets, annotated bibliographies, and speech outlines to prepare you to speak both alone and as a group, with an essay-type "reflection" after each speech. A life-changing course.
she is hard, and expects alot out of her students. i took the hybrid,and uhhh yeah wouldn't do that again. she was fair and genuinely a good teacher. but group work matters.
She is super caring. She wants you to actually succeed and puts her time aside to help you out. Although the class is mostly online, when face to face, she gives you everything you need to succeed. And who can be mad at only 3 actual speeches to do. She made the class fun and interactive and this will help me continue in my major
If youre nervous about public speaking, do not take her. She marks you down for the slightest things and is a super tough grader. Im a straight A student and got stuck with a B because she marks you down heavily for every mistake. Theres a lot of pre-work too. Do not recommend if you struggle with speeches or want an easy A.
She is amazing professor Ever I had at RC. She will make you real amazing public speak with a short period of time. LIFE CHANGING COURSE. Trust me you will proud by your self. I would highly recommend this class.
Inspiring Caring & Passionate! One of the most incredible professors you will find in RCC. Her COM9 class is a MUST for all! She will teach you amazing things about who you are and ways to improve your relationships. She is very passionate about her job and about transferring her knowledge to students. Roll up your sleeves and get ready to work!
Really fantastic professor! She gives an appropriate amount of work, all necessary to really understand how to effectively communicate. Between group quizzes and class participation, points add up, so make sure you attend! Her lectures were always interesting and I always enjoyed class. I will miss this class and definitely recommend you take it!
This woman!! I love Professor Wiggs! She honestly changed my life. I hear people saying she's mean, but she cares so much about her students. Theres a difference between not taking crap and being mean. She will go above and beyond for you! Several semesters later, I still say hi to her in her office because I have so much respect for her. Take her!
Wiggs teaches you life skills. She is intense, yes, as she even calls herself "The Nutty Professor", but this woman has a deep interest in seeing her student grow. And she is no frills, she will communicate with you exactly what needs to be done, even though she can be all over the place sometimes, but overall nothing but good vibes/ deep learning.
loved this professor, there is a lot of work but it is easy & manageable for the most part. she is a little intimidating and strict and says things how they are, but she cares about her students so much and tries to get to know everyone. You will pass if you're willing to do the work and go to every class. Be ready to get deep and personal.
Ok, so Proff Wiggs is cool. However, she does give a lot of work, there are weekly chapter quizes, overall a lot of work! She will help if you ask for help. She's funny, and lovely. Honestly, if you're not up for doing the work, just don't take the class.
Wiggs knows that public speaking is scary, in fact, she told us it is completely weird to NOT be nervous. She might seem intimidating but she genuinely cares for you. I went to see her multiple times to talk about my speeches and she was always so welcoming/helpful. Com1 changed my life, and Wiggs deserves all the credit. Please take this course!
Taken in summer, Wiggs is a great teacher! Does provide a significant amount of work. Exceptional when it comes to communicating with her students. Provides good feedback. Many quizzes, three exams, 2 projects, 2 essays, An interview, but well structured. Make sure to check all dates Is forgiving for late assignments. Alot to teach and learn.
She is a bit rude. Personally I felt that this class was too homework heavy considering it was a public speaking course. I did more writing for this class then I did for my English class. I enjoyed the class and really actually learned to love public speaking, but professor Wiggs was too intimidating and made me feel bad for asking questions.
Great teacher. Very straight forward - can sometimes come off as a bit rude. Always responds to emails or questions. A lot of reading and note taking but it was online due to COVID so I figured so. Easy class if you keep up with your work. A couple quizzes, exams, a group project, and a final interview.
Mrs. Wiggs is by far the best Professor Ive ever had. As a lot of students are, we can be hesitant signing up for a comm. course because public speaking makes us anxious, but she understands & doesnt push. We have a group we consider family that is there to help us throughout the semester. A couple quizzes & 2 bigger tests. 10/10 recommend.
Wiggs is a solid choice if you're looking for coms professors. She's very caring and understanding, just don't abuse her kindness. Excellent online learning structure. She has about 3 required zooms lasting about 30 min each. She has group projects. Just do your work. Textbook isn't really needed.
Professor Wiggs was an average teacher during these predicament times. The class will be very hard if you don't take notes on the chapters and videos that are assigned. She also put us into groups for the semester and we have to rely on our team which wasn't something I enjoyed. She honestly is a tough grader as well. I somewhat liked the class.
The class was simple and interesting. She did put us in groups and eventually had us do a team project, but I was lucky to have a good group. The workload isn't bad and mainly consisted of quizzes around every 2-3 weeks. We only had around 3 meetings as a class the entire semester. She is nice and cares about her students. I recommend her class!
There is a lot of reading and watching lecture but do take notes because this is very helpful to pass her class. Group projects are fine if you got good classmates if not talk to her. She understands her students very much. Just read and listen to lectures and you'll do good. You do have projects but it's not that hard.
By far one of the best professors I have had. Professor Wiggs explains everything so well and always there to assist. If you read the material and watch the videos quizzes and exams come easy.
She is a fantastic professor! I highly recommend taking her class. She is very into what she teaches and is good at explaining things. Her lectures are very interesting to watch because she is super animated!
(I took this Class online in Spring 2021.) This Interpersonal Communication class has changed my Thoughts, Voice, and Thinking. I would honestly say this class was fun and So Easy! The bad comments cant Compare with this comment I have posted. Believe when I say this youll be glad to have a easy/fun class! But take it in person if you can?
She was honestly one of my favorite professors. Everything we learned in class she found ways to give us real life examples of, and her stories were so interesting to hear. She really cares about her students and wants everyone to pass, but you have to be willing to be open minded.
She can be really aggressive at times and screams a lot when she talks. She is a very loud person. She demands that attendance is mandatory but will literally talk about absolutely nothing the entire session that has nothing to do with the lesson material. She's OK. She cares a lot about her students though which is nice
Professor Wiggs is a good teacher.I think if I had taken the class in person as opposed to online it would have been a better experience. She uses prerecorded lectures on YouTube, however many are 4+ years old and clearly dated.She takes forever to get grades back and makes you take your final exam before finals week so she "has time to grade them"
Wiggs is very bold, loud, & assertive in class but tried to lighten up with "jokes" (making a few side-eye-worthy comments). Basically, this class was about learning how to deal with discomfort & you will grow throughout this course. Lots of paperwork required for the speeches, so don't procrastinate because you will hate yourself for it. Practice!
she really cares about her students. All the projects we had were clear on directions and criteria. She did have weekly quizzes about things from the online textbook provided and about her videos explaining what the week would look like. COMMUNICATE with her if you have problems with deadlines. She made me feel welcome albeit an online class
I loved Wiggs, she is caring and understanding. I became stressed because something happened and I told her that my participation might be low and she was understandable about it. The final in this class was a job interview on zoom where you had to answer questions about yourself. Communication 9 was my first class that I took. Take her! Amazing!
She's an amazing professor, very helpful!
Amazing teacher, highly recommend.
