Great Teacher! Class is easy and she makes public speaking fun. Grades are very easy to earn, and she keeps you updated on your overall grade throughout. Little HW but many speeches. Definitely Recommend if you have to take Public Speaking!
Easy to talk to. Also easy on the eyes. Giggity. She sticks to her guns very well. No unwelcome surprises here. The syllabus she gives you is practically a class by class guide. Fantastic teacher.
Cool teacher very easy to speak to and speeches are fun and exciting. if you read the chapters that you have to test on the that day or a day earlier your sure to pass the class with a A.
Best teacher at SCC!
FIRST OFF VERY GOOD LOOKING, SO EASY TO STAY FOCUSED. MAKES THE CLASS INTERESTING, AND FUN. TAKE HER TO LEARN AND TRUST ME YOU WILL REMEMBER IT. CALSS IS EASY BUT VERY HARD FINAL BUT IT IS NOT WORTH THAT MUCH ANYWAYS. THATS WHY THE B.
Amazing Teacher! Mrs. Salamon has helped me so much with public speaking. I used to be really nervous to the point of losing concsiousness to now, being completely at ease and being able to talk like I was talking to friends. Great great teacher. I highly reccommend.
Great Teacher!! Extremely helpful. This is the kind of teacher who CARES!! Made the class FUN.
SO MUCH FUN!!! Take Mrs. Salomon!!!If you are shy she will help you!!! Highly recomend!
A great teacher she made the class interesting and fun.
PUBLIC SPEAKING IS SOMETHING I USE ALOT AND MRS. SALAMON REALLY HELPED IN MAKING IT EASIER TO GET UP AND GIVE SPEECHES. SHE WAS A GREAT TEACHER AND REALLY CARED ABOUT ALL OF HER STUDENTS. IF YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO SPEAK BETTER IN FRONT OF CROWDS AND DELIVER BETTER SPEECHES I WOULD DEFFINATLY RECOMMEND THIS CLASS.
GREAT TEACHER..IF YOU DO NOT LIKE TO DO WORK, DONT TAKE HER CLASS...ALOT OF SPEECHES AND A GREAT TEAM DEBATE. IT WILL HELP IF YOU HAVE CONFIDENCE PROBLEMS..OVER ALL PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS READ THE BOOK AND THE CLASS SHOULD BE EASY..DO EVERY SPEECH IF YOU WANT TO PASS..............GREAT PROF.
Seriously. This professor will force you to become a better speaker. I'm painfully shy. I've spent 40 years avoiding speaking in front of people like the plague. I won't say I'm a great speaker, but, thanks to her, I actualy enjoy it somewhat now. Honestly, if you hate speaking...this is the prof. for you! Be patient. She'll get you there.
SHE WAS VERY HELPFUL DURING THIS CLASS. NOT A QUICK RESPONSE VIA EMAIL BUT OVERALL A GREAT TEACHER.
Great Professor. Very down to earth. She teaches the class well. The only criticism I have is that there is very little time spent on covering what is in the textbook. I would take her class again.
Awesome teacher, very flexible with her students and very patient with students. I love public speaking and she helped make it better for me!!!
So much fun! Nervous? Take this class!
she's an amazing teacher. very funny and cool. class is super easy. we have frequent quizzes, but they're easy. speeches are so much fun, and topics are centered around interests and things you are passionate about, so speaking is fun and easy. i definitely recommend her. she's awesome :)
Have you ever had a class where u end up being friends with every dingle person in the class? That's the kind of environment Salamon creates. Best class I've taken by far.
One day class was cancelled, and I actually missed class!!!!! Ms. Salamon is a teacher who cares, she stays with you until you get it, she brings the best out of you.
Very outgoing and fun teacher. I expected the class to be so easy but her quizzes and test were hard. I took her 8am class and she made us stand up do stupid exercises to get awake. But overall, she was fun and made the class interesting.
LOVED this class!! (ive taken this class 3 times before by other teachers) Quizes are easy if you just pay attention. She made the class sooo fun you didn't even feel like you were working. We had an extra credit speech at the end so it's impossible to do bad in this class.
Lots of fun activities--Lectures are way better than the book and quizzes are straight from the lectures---EASY! You will look forward to going to this class every time! Not one boring day!! Wish she taught other classes!
Great teacher! Has a lot of fun in class with students and keeps things very interesting! Plus, she is really great eye candy :)A must have if you do not want to be bored and if you really do want to learn how to do well in public speaking! ... oh did i mention she's a fox! bow chica wah wow!
WONDERFUL teacher!! She is incredibly helpful, lots of fun, and definitely the best speech teacher one could ask for. She uses PowerPoints, but you should take notes! Notes can be used on the final exam. :) She gives great constructive criticism as well. Doesn't really use the book much, but you should have it anyway. Recommend!!!
She was soooo fun. She kinda unifies the class and by the end of the semester you definitely gain a lot of confidence speaking in front of them. Bottom line: take her. She makes speech more fun and interesting then nerve racking and she's the best speech teacher at Seminole State.
One of my favorite classes this semester. Before I started the class i was dreading it but after the first week i loved it. She unified the class, which made it that much easier to get up and speak. I wish she didn't have to leave half way through the semester to have her baby. If she taught another class i would definitely take it.
Dreaded having to take a speech class before taking hers! Nikki was an AWESOME teacher, never made you feel like you were not good enough, very helpful! Left to have her baby, so had to finsh class without her! Recommend taking this Prof. for speech to anyone!
LOVED HER!!!! I did not want to take speech and am actually scared to death about speaking infront of people but she helped soooo much!!! She was an amazing teacher and i would take her as my teacher any day!! Highly recommended!!! :)
she is the best teacher and hot
She is the BEST! She explains everything to its fullest extent! She really connects with her class.
Great teacher, funny, sweet, pretty. Would recommend!
i really did not want to take this class but i must feel attle bit more confidnet speaking with others. what i loved about this speech class was that no matter what she never tried to embarrass you or make you feel bad if you mad a mistake. If you take notes & do assignments you should not have any problems.
The Professor try's to make this class a lot harder than it is by making quizzes and exams hard to understand. The tests and quizzes are weighted to much for a Speech class. Lots of Pop Quizzes, Tests, and Exams. But overall a Good Professor.
Awesome class. Awesome teacher! 4 quizzes 2 tests last test we got to use our notes on. Lots of extra credit offerd. Speech assignments are fun. Professor wants you to be yourself. I am honestly grateful for the things I have learned. Prob only class I will actually use.
While Mrs. Salamon has certainly earned her chili pepper she definitely made my A ranked teachers here at SSC she is an exceptional teacher. Take notes and attend class and you will do just fine book not really needed. She has the ability to make a very scary, intimidating situation easy with her upbeat positive personality. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Awesome teacher. Very outgoing. As long as you take notes, Quizzes will be easy. Easy grade. Will highly recommend.
She is an awesome teacher; I highly recommend her.
Her classes were always exciting,I loved it! She is an awesome, outstanding and amazing teacher. She cares about her students. Before her class I hated talking in front of people now I feel I can speak my mind with confidence. Take notes for quizzes. 5 speeches(DO PUT EFFORT IN THEM ) extra credits! NO exams LOVE HER! Do take her if you can!
I loved Prof. Salamon! Her class was awesome, we got a little crazy sometimes but it was always fun. We did a lot of class activities and got to know eachother well making it that much more entertaining. She was very sweet but got the information across well. She did some interesting speeches and even a panel interview. Would take her again
I LOVED Professor Salamon! I took speech class ten years ago and dropped it twice because I wasn't comfortable in the public speaking atmosphere. She made me realize how it can benefit me and how to organize my thoughts to make a successful speech. I actually like speaking in front of a group now! She is awesome! Quizzes are a little tough.
She was a nice teacher and knew her subject. Quizzes were quite easy since most of the material is basic knowledge. There are a lot of group projects that are easy. She seemed a lil snappy but she was prego at the time. As she says, "you have to try to fail to get an F"
If you don't miss a single class she offers 10 extra credit points to your final grade! You have to do 5 speeches throughout the course, she grades them fairly but overall great class and professor!
Awesome teacher. By far my best class here at SSC. 5 presentations, 4 quizzes. All I can say is I looked forward to every class. Prof. Salamon obviously loves what she does-would take any class she teaches!
Nicky is fantastic teacher! You can tell she truly loves to teach and her energy and charisma are contagious! Only 4 quizzes and 5 assignments although the 4 assignment is a group based debate which was dreadful because it requires collaboration outside of class, which just doesn't fit into all our schedules. Shes down to earth and super chillhot
Such a great teacher! She genuinely cares about your progress-always stays to answer every question- This is not just a textbook class-this class is organized in such a way that by the end you will NOT be nervous to get up and speak in front of a group of people-Highly recommend!
BEST. PROFESSOR. EVER! I didn't think I needed this class but I learned SO MUCH and had a lot of fun! Excellent speaker, funny, so kind, fair with grading, opportunities for extra credit. She was always available and prompt with response to emails. TAKE HER!
Great class!! I thought I would hate it but it turned out to be really fun!!
I respect her. She has two master's degrees and you can tell. The class is EASY y'all. All you have to do is take a shot, give it a whirl, put SOME energy and time into your speeches. If you fail her class you have no one to blame but yourself. She makes public speaking comfortable & there's no way you can't get an A. Just try. She's fun & low-key!
Makes class very fun, gives great feedback and a very helpful course to take in general
She is beautiful and also a great teacher. She is very helpful and makes sure you understand every assignment before it is time to turn it in or to present. She really cares about her students and you can tell in the way she teaches. I highly recommend her to every and anyone.
Nikki is an awesome professor. If you have a fear of public speaking you won't when you finish this class. She is brief, clear, and a downright awesome lady. She really connects with her students and is always there to help you. My class really felt like a family. She treats her students as equals and if you try, you will succeed.
Fun class. She helps everyone get ver their fear of speaking in front of people and unites the class together. This was my favorite class of this semester.
Fun class. She helps everyone get ver their fear of speaking in front of people and unites the class together.
I loved Nikki! I hated doing public speeches but her class was amazing! She helped me get over my fear of public speaking. If your looking for a Oral to communication's teacher she's definitely one to consider! :)
Amazing prof. I was terrified of public speaking prior to this course and by the end it didn't even bother me, would love to take this professor again.
She's great and immensely helpful. Definitely one of my favorite teachers I've ever had, and made a class I was terrified about taking (Speech) not just bearable but actually kinda fun sometimes. Also the only class so far that I didn't dread going to.
She is a super down to earth and fun teacher who is always upbeat and interesting. Her class is a lot of fun and I could not imagine a better public speaking teacher. Quizzes are not to be feared nor is the speaking (if you can help it). Great class!
went from hating public speaking to loving it. Best class I've ever taken. She makes the classroom very comfortable, and I saw some incredibly shy people come out and do in amazingly well on their speeches. All the speeches in the class and really fun and quirky. This is the best speech professor you will ever take at SSC. Take her if you can.
There aren't enough words in the english language to describe Proff Salamon, she is genuinely the greatest professor I have come across. She cares about every student and makes sure everyone is comfortable and confident. The entire semester is fun and easy. I wish there were more professors like her! TAKE HER!!!
Best teacher you can have for Speech!! I was horrified to take this class because English is not my first language and I have a strong accent, and I was always intimidated by talking in public. She thought me how to compensate my fears with cool technics. I can say she is one of those teachers you never forget!!!! TAKE HER!!!
This Prof. is awesome! I wish I could take her again, but I would I have to take an acting class to do that so nah. She is great tho! There is a reason she has 0 bad reviews on here! She likes to be called Niki and is very land back but respected. You have to put in some effort for a grade and be in class, but she makes everything super understable
she's so funny and there's no grades or work you just show up and act
Took Nikki for Acting 1. AMAZING. She is able to create an environment that is pressure free when working and yet you WANT to work harder than any other class! No tests or quizzes. Monologue, 2 scenes, musical theatre song, and final showcase. - she knows her stuff and will get you where you want to be. Cant wait for Acting 2.
Niki is awesome! I took her for intro to communication and got a high A with little effort. Tests are super easy if you just listen in class and she's super funny. Offers a lot of extra credit which is really helpful if you aren't a fan of public speaking (so it'll bump your grade). Absolutely recommend Professor Salamon. Take her!!!!!
Nikki is energetic and knows what she's teaching. She doesn't just sit the students down and lecture but has people coming up, doing examples and practicing their public speaking. If you actually want to get better at speaking publicly, take her and this class will help you. I'm a shy person but I enjoyed the class and learned how to speak better
She made speech a fun class. I was nervous about taking public speaking but she made the class super easy. There were 5 different type of speeches. On the last day of class we had a party. Would recommend this teacher.
This class was the best experience at SSC so far! I have come out of this class a more confident and expressive person than I ever thought I could be. What Niki does is create a unity within the class-which helps you feel so comfortable-she's magic! Take her!!!!!!!!
I wish I could take this class twice! I had Nicki my first semester of college and now that I am getting into other courses, I constantly find myself comparing her to all of my other profs, and none of them compare! She is a cool, engaging prof that also understands that we have other things going on as students and doesn't kill us with work.
I missed my day to present a speech and was shocked when she let me do it another day! This was a fairly simple class if you study the chapters she gives you, you will pass the test. Make sure you attend her extra credit, trust me it helped A LOT! She always demonstrates what she expects from us as students and a public speaker!
Nikki is honestly the best professor I have ever had. She goes out of her way to make sure you understand exactly what is expected of you. I was honestly scared to death to take this class and not only did I learn how to have more confidence I made friends forever in this class! honestly, the greatest experience.
Niki is the funniest professor ever. Super down to earth. For those nervous about presenting, she does anxiety reducing exercises and calms everyone. Uses the textbook sometimes, but the quizzes are super easy. Definitely take her class, you wont regret it.
Amazing at giving class , fun and active and gives a lot of extra credit
I never used to feel comfortable with public speaking, but prof Salamon changed that. Her's was by far my favorite class, and I wish I could retake it. As long as you do what is being asked of you, then you'll get a good grade, and even then, there are a ton of extra credit opportunities.
Just took her Theatre class. She is amazing. HIGHLY recommend taking her class in what ever subject it is. She cares about her students.
I took theatre appreciation online due to COVID in 6 weeks, not really much of the theatre person but this class was pretty okay. She made it east to take - two assignments a week with one paper, midterm, and final overall. Everything was straightforward and easy to accomplish. The final project is time consuming and awful, but not hard.
I took Nikki for Acting 1 and 2. She is one of those professors you will never forget. There aren't enough words to tell you all that I have gained from her-most importantly how to follow my instincts and a sense of self confidence I never thought I could have. Take her and you will be changed for the better.
Professor Salamon is wonderful! I took her online theater class for the 2020 summer term and really enjoyed it. She is very helpful when giving feedback and grades on time. Homework was manageable online and you could work ahead if desired. The chapter readings were long (usually 25-50 pages) but that wasnt the professors fault. Take her class!
This class was super easy and the professor was very nice. If you have other major or tough classes this one is really good to take. Grades are based mostly on discussions and quizzes. She has two prompts which are fairly easy and a midterm and final that were not bad. I would take her again!
Best teacher I have ever had. Public speaking is scary but she has proved that anyone can do it, extremely supportive. You are never alone or afraid in her class, quizzes are really easy to boot. My English class complimented me on my new speech skills. All good marks, I will never forget how she has helped me.
Takes forever to grade. Five assignments were not graded until the last week of school closure. No assistance was offered when requested.
Absolutely fantastic professor, excited to work with them not just with required classes for my major but with extra-curriculars like Tour as well ^-^
Dude. Take her. Best acting teacher ever. I wish there was a acting 3 and 4.
Her online theater class was great, around 3 big assignments but other than that mostly easy stuff like discussions or small quizzes. The only thing that I didn't like is that she takes forever to return grades, but other than that the class was great!
She is great! i love her so much! she is the best! she takes a bit to grade though.. Anyways I love her good night!
It will take her a sec to grade your stuff but she is a woman of many hats! Having taken a few classes with her, she is a busy person and grade when she is able. That being said, ask for help. No, seriously. If you're struggling, ask for help! She's so understanding and helpful, no matter how small the concern. I loved taking her classes!
Everything was clear from the beginning on what you're graded on. The work's not difficult if you do your reading every week. You're required to go to one live show, but she can also facilitate and offer an alternative if you can't make it. One thing I will say though is she's hard to reach sometimes and may take a while to get back to you.
She was a wonderful teacher. Everything was literally /so/ easy. Discussion posts did not even have word count requirements. Had to go in person to a play for a review project which was scary but it was a funny play and not too bad to do. I would 100% recommend this class and her as a professor!
I have taken Niki's acting one and two classes, both which I absolutely loved! She makes the class a safe space and really dives into the aspects of what makes an actor and actor. I am so happy to have taken her class, and I'm sure you will be too!
Enjoyable class. Very few papers to do. A few projects and an in person play to watch and write a short review on. Would definitely take again.
Such a sweet professor! She does take a while to grade but her class is so worth it and very fun if your a theatre person.
