I've taken Nancy for 4 classes. That says it all. One of the best instructors I have ever had in my academic career. She knows her subject well, and is one of the last few professors that cares. Doesn't require a textbook. Creates a great learning environment, and very patient with students nervous of public speaking. One of the most caring people!

Nancy Jennings is a phenomenal orator. Her passion for students to succeed is remarkable. She roots for you from day one and is always there when you need any help. She's fair and gives excellent feed back. I learned so much from her class and I am going to miss being around. TAKE THIS CLASS. Highly recommend her!!!!

Nancy's public speaking class was more of an experience than a college course. She is darn good at her profession and my classmates made the class so much fun. I am not a nervous person when it comes to public speaking, but if you are Nancy will help you overcome that. Her lectures10/10 and tests are easy, and she ACTUALLY HELPS YOU LEARN SOMETHING

Nancy is the BEST and truly cares about students, passionate about her job. Be prepared to write some essays and deliver them in speech form. Very little to no textbook use, but questions from book will be on exams. No quizzes, no homework except speech writing. Extra credit available. Easy class, easy A if you do the work and don't miss lectures.

I took this course over the summer. It was a little challenging because it was only 4 weeks with a lot of work! The teacher is great. However, she's a tough grader. We did 3 graded speeches, she always took points away for the very little things. Her lectures would've been so much better if presented electronically rather than a whiteboard.

Great class! We had lectures on one day, group activities/lecture continuation on the other. There were weekly quizzes with 5 or 10 questions, a midterm, final, and group presentation. You're graded based on a point system which relieved a lot of stress. Her lectures were fun and informative so just show up to class and take detailed notes.

There are quizzes due every Sunday, but it didn't take me more than 2-3 minutes to complete. No late work allowed but lectures are engaging! Amazing.

The professor is very sweet :) HOWEVER your grade relies heavily on the midterm and final which are lowkey unnecessarily hard for such a simple class. You get 1 hour for 51 questions on both. You also only get 1 chance for all quizzes/tests. Assignments only opened on day of so u cant work ahead. Shes sweet but shes doin too much for just comms120.

I would try a different prof if you can. Your grade is dictated by 2 midterms. Besides that, the rest is discussions, quizzes, And a short presentation at the end. It was difficult for me to get a A- and this is a Gen Ed class. Try some other profs and ask for syllabus, but if you need to take this class you will be fine but work hard.

Really good for the most part. The professor got aggressive with me when I responded to an assignment comment wrongfully accusing me of using google/AI. She explained I didn't analyze enough which I accepted, apologized, and thanked her but got an angry email back. The class doesn't require much teacher-student contact so it shouldn't be a problem.
