Ms. Wier is a little different from your normal teacher but she is just fantastic. You can tell she really loves her students and wants everyone to succeed. The first day of class she said we were going to be a speech family and if you didn't like that the class probably wasn't for you. It's hard sometimes but she is there for you. Loved her

If you feel nervous or scared of giving a speech, Nanette does an excellent job of making you feel comfortable and confident. By the time I gave my final speech, I could tell the major differences in my confidence and delivery. She is cheerful, likes to tell jokes, and fair in grading. You'll learn a lot and have fun doing it. Highly recommended!

Nanette is a wonderful person and truly cares about her students. Pretty straight forward in her expectations. Small papers, easy quizzes over provided handouts. Work is easy , but quite a bit of it. This was an 8 week class, why it seemed a lot of work. You really learn about other cultures and have empathy for other people.

I came into this class not knowing what to expect other than I knew I'd have to give a few speeches. But now I am super confident in standing in front of an audience and giving a great speech. I had this class at 8 am and I looked forward to it every day I went. Nanette is so funny and extremely caring. Go to her before speeches and she will help!

Graded on 3 speeches (demonstration, informative & persuasive), a midterm & final; no other homework. Show up for class, you will lose many points if you barely attend. Grading criteria is extremely clear. She is a warm & welcoming professor that makes public speaking easy. This class is an easy A if you're willing to put in some work & attend.

Here's the thing, taking her class right now would be a risky option right now. Nanette is a wonderful professor and is amazing all around, but as of right now, her mother seems to be passing away and you can see her emotions being affected negatively. I'm a very good public speaker but ended up getting a B due to her carelessness for our class.

She is caring, empathetic and has a great sense of humor. She will do everything in her power to help you get in an A in this class and I truly believe that she wants the best each of us.

Honestly, not sure how everyone likes this professor, she is awful. She does not let anyone ask question, and when you do she interupts and does not even answer it correctly. She is so obsessed with herself and her stories that no one cares for. I am honestly so bothered with this professor, I really question how her ratings are good. I disagree.

Nanette is sweet, hilarious, and super honest. She takes a genuine interest in the lives of her students. Her expectations are clear and there's only 3 speeches, plus 2 tests the whole semester. As a person who suffers from anxiety, I was extremely nervous about public speaking, but she creates a relaxed, comfortable environment for speeches.

I presented the final but she didn't record it because I didn't know to turn a hard copy in after coming in a couple minutes late on final day. When I asked why I failed she said I didn't present, (when I had) and then she ignored my follow up email where I explained what happened in the next email. I was stuck with the F.

Communication professor who doesn't know how to communicate. She says she assumes everyone is lying to her and can no longer trust her students. When you talk to her she gives you a intimidating glare and will be condescending to you. Canvas is completely empty- she "doesn't know how to use it". No late work and no being late either.

Prospective students considering taking COMM122: look no further. The kids that gave her bad ratings must be pretty lousy students if they believe Dr. Wier is a bad teacher. Talk about amazing feedback and clear expectations. It's about learning important speaking skills. If you can study for TWO tests and THREE speeches, then you will get an A+.

I had Nanette for spring 25, and I absolutely loved her. She doesn't accept late work, but she gives you plenty of time to do the assignment and the papers themselves are super easy(this is coming from someone who HATES to write). She's not great at responding to e-mails, so any questions you may have, I recommend you ask her in class. Trust me
