I'm going to tell you right now if you cant take constructive criticism then you shouldn't take this class. Anson can be a little impersonal and strict but its only because she wants to make you a better speaker and she will. So glad this class is over, was so nervous about taking speech. Took it with her over summer and it was a breeze.

She is so easy! She gives you outlines for all the speeches. Just follow the outlines and you'll do fine. The only hard part is going in front of the class to speak. The only homework was to read the chapters she assigned and study for tests. She usually lets you out early on speech days but on lecture days you'll stay a little longer.

As a past student, I saw a professor who fully understood her role in the lives of her student. She doesn't just try and do the bare minimum like many seasoned, jaded professors, rather, she evidently puts a great deal of thought into how she can honestly help her students. Her teaching style is relatable, but above all, focused. I recommend her.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Dr. Anson is the teacher you MUST take if you want an easy A. Curriculum consists of 4 very short speeches and 2 easy T/F exams. Class is always short: 1/2 - 1 hour. She's a mostly lenient grader on the speeches and is clear-cut in her instructions, organized, and funny. Her textbook is short and the examples are helpful.

Would take again

Textbook is required, it is cheap however and actually readable. Grades are made up of 4 speeches, midterm, and final exam. Incredibly understanding and respectful of your time. Lecture days can be long but there's not too many of those days so, otherwise, no complaints for her teaching. Great professor.
