Very fun and upbeat. Now I would take a class solely because she was teaching it.

This is one of the best teachers at Western. She makes her students feel valued and will always help those in need. Plus she is entertaining to listen too. If you are lucky to hear one of her stories, you will be amazed. One great teacher.

Vohs is such a great teacher. She was very kind and understanding, and she never seemed to judge you. She was just always very upbeat. I would definately take a class again just because she was teaching it!

Great class!! Highly recomend this teacher, shes a great speaker. Easy class but you learn a lot! If you want to improve on your public speaking take this class!

Very enthusiastic speaker. Makes lectures interesting and entertaining. The course was set up very clear and you always knew what to expect. It's almost impossible to get an A but you won't get anything less than an B. Improves your confidence and speaking skills. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

She's never really in the rooms when giving our first 3 speeches, but she has good information when you are in the main class.

Great lady with a great personality, but ultimatly its up to what IA you have to see how the class is, mine sucked so it was difficult, but sometimes i hear its great. She is hard to get incontact with from finals week on though. group lectures= don't go, you don't learn anything. Vohs Rocks.

Rosemary is one of the most interesting public speakers I have had the pleasure of watching and listening to. A pleasure, only problem is this is a mass class very little interaction with Rosemary, and it really depends on the IAs you get, mine were great so take your chances. It's a great class.

BEST BEST BEST!!! Do not leave western w/o having Rosemary for a Professor! She has changed my life!

Review of Childrens Literature. Such a great class with a quarter full of hard boring classes. Rosemary is the best professor at Western. Work hard, but the reward far outweighs the work!

She is a good person. The class depends entirely on what IA you get. Good class.

Rosemary is one of the best Professors I've had since coming here. She was one to break to nervousness of speaking in public and she is very considerate of students suggestions. I'd take another class from her in a heartbeat

Rosemary is probably one of the best teachers I have had so far. There is a lot of work (at least one thing due a week) but it's really worth it. She really knows what she is talking about and tries to get students interested in it as well. She really cares what students are thinking and feeling at a particular time. Great teacher.

She made the class interesting with a passion for the topic. Plus she has a cool accent.

She lectures for a lONG BORING time. And you repeats her jokes a lot. She lectures on "duh" material and expects you to be completly engaged. SHe is passionate about the topic, but a little too envolved.

I love Rosemary! Her Storytelling class is so much fun, and as a future teacher I learned so much about how to implement storytelling into my classroom. There is a lot of work, but no tests or textbook. You have to attend some community storytelling events as well. Get started on your storyfile and book report early on in the quarter. So much fun!

she is nice, loves what she teaches

A great class with a great teacher. You will need to work (this is college, folks), but the pay-off is definitely worth it. Our class really bonded, and this was our oasis from the craziness of our other classes. Rosemary is a delight, as well as an excellent storyteller. A good class for anyone who can talk and think.

Shes a great speaker but not a very great prof because she doesnt really teach. She talks a lot about herself and what she likes. Grading of the speeches are very arbitrary but she gives great critiques that help. Assignments are somewhat easy, its the speeches that are time consuming but not too hard. Enjoyed the class more than I thought I would.

I didn't see her very much because we work mostly with IAs. She is an excellent public speaker and a pretty good professor.

After the first week you break off into small groups of about 10 to 12 and work with instructional assistants. You don't really see her much, but she is willing to answer questions. Good class took it fall quarter and took the final before thanksgiving break, so wont stress out about the final during finals week.

Rosemary isn't really your teacher for Comm 101. You really only deal with your instructional assistants (IAs), but Rosemary does give some lectures and she's extremely nice. Her half-British accent is pretty cute lol.

Fantastic class! Rosemary was great fun and I learned a lot from her. Boo to WWU for dumping her (due to "cut backs") after 24 years of teaching and bringing in wonderful storytellers!! Cheers to Rosemary, Jeers to WWU.

Whoever thinks she got dumped by WWU, she's back now and teaching 2 COMM 101 classes.. Extremely nice professor who has a lot of experience in the world. Will help you if you ask for it

Rosemary is so charismatic and shows a real interest in getting to know her students. She encourages all ranges of ideas and speaking styles diverse to fit individuals. You do not get to use notecards the entire time but you end up learning from the challenge. Take this class!

Very challenging class - in the way of making you break out of your comfort zone. But Rosemary will guide you through it. She is excellent at what she does. Loved this class.

I don't think I had a bad day in this class. You can get frustrated about speaking without any restrictions, but this class is like an excelled actor's class, and you come out so fast and ready to handle just about anything. Rosemary has this down to a science.

LOVED having Rosemary whenever we weren't with our IA's. Besides the lovely British accent, she is super approachable and great with putting things into context when it comes to what is required for speeches. Most of this class IS spent with your IA's, though. Nonetheless, I would definitely recommend Rosemary- sweet, humorous, and a great professo

Rosemary is very nice and friendly but I felt the class was very subjective, especially grading. But the assignments are weighted well and spaced evenly so that you're not overwhelmed at the end of the quarter during finals and one assignment won't break you if you get a poor score.

Rosemary really helps you become a better speaker in this class, and it's fun to come into the class every day, listening to classmates speak. Great accent, great course.

Very enthusiastic on mandatory days. IAs do 90% of the teaching, but it's an amazing class. She is the most helpful and involved prof. I've had, obviously cares for the program.

ia's teach 90 percent of the time. loved the class. lecture days are unimportant. nice lady and fair take this class

Coming into this class I dreaded it. However, it really isn't that bad and Rosemary is AMAZING. She is so inspirational, nice, smart, and overall a great person and professor. I highly recommend taking her although the IAs are randomly assigned. I have heard most of them are good though and I liked mine. This class is easy but a lot of busy work.

So, the majority of this class is taught by your IA. However, when Rosemary was in the lectures, she was great! She is such a sweet lady who truly loves listening to student speeches. Her British accent is just the best! She grades fairly, loves when you are extemporaneous. Definitely take Comm with her, she is passionate and a very wise professor.

Rosemary is such a lovely professor. She's so sweet and really funny. The majority of the class is taught by the IA's, but she does the grading. You do have to put effort in, and definitely go to the mandatory days, but she is a great public speaker, and the class is crystal-clear about what's expected. Just do the work, and come to all the classes

Even though comm 101 is mainly IAs, Rosemary is great. She was by far the best out of the other two comm professors also teaching comm 101. She truly gives good feedback and wants you to become a great speaker. To get a good grade, attend class all the time and put in the work.

Rosemary is wonderful. She is engaging and really teaches you about public speaking. This course is one that will force you to become a better speaker, and is one that everyone should take. There are no exams only speeches, not difficult at all. I would take another class from her in a heartbeat, she is likely one of the best professors at Western.

Majority is taught by the IAs, but I seriously learned so much from this class. I was terrified of public speaking and I came out such a better speaker. Rosemary is such a sweet lady and she truly wants you to do well. I definitely recommend taking this class, especially if you aren't the best speaker. It will help you improve tremendously!

Rosemary is so sweet! She's really inspirational and I don't regret taking her class! I used to be afraid of public speaking but now I don't think it's that bad. There are only two exams you need to take which are fairly common sense questions. We were split into small groups and were taught by IAs. My IA was really helpful and gave me good tips!

Rosemary is such a warm and helpful teacher. She gives really constructive feedback in order to help you learn, but also positive comments so you feel like you are supported. This class was scary because it's public speaking, but Rosemary made it less intimidating.

I loved COMM101! Rosemary is so sweet and enthusiastic. She grades pretty easy on your final speech as well.

Rosemary is a great professor! In COMM 101 you are split into small groups with an IA most of the time, but she will give lectures on mandatory days which are mostly common sense. The expectations are low and she gives great feedback. Would take again!

Super caring professor! Love her accent!

I took this class online and I would definitely take her class again. All of the class criteria was very clear, and she gave specific instructions for assignments. The assignments are pretty hands on and I actually really had fun in this class. If you follow instructions and put in the work it should be easy to get a good grade.

You can miss class but you need to make it up on other days. You can go to final speeches for other comm 101 classes so this is easy! I missed a couple days and made it up by going to several hours straight of finals speeches and it was super easy! Also, there is extra credit opportunity. TIme-consuming but easy!

I loved taking COMM 101 with Rosemary. She gave the best feedback out of all the other comm 101 professors and was truly kind. The layout of this class can be confusing and everyone is always at different paces during the quarter. Definitely scary to present at times but you gain a lot from this course and glad that I pushed myself to take it.

I LOVED taking Comm101 with Rosemary. It 's weird at first because you're split into small groups with IA's and do prep speeches in small room and occasionally meet in big room with your actual professor. She gives great feedback, but will tie you into her personal life quickly if you talk to her. Get to know her, she cares about her students!

Rosemary is a wonderful professor and really cares about her students. She really wants you to succeed. She gives great feedback and helps if you are struggling. If you think public speaking isn't your thing, take it with Rosemary! I really enjoyed this class, even though it was just a GUR. I would highly recommend COMM101 with her!!!

Definitely can tell she wants the best for everyone!

Rosemary is great, but if you do not have to take this class then DON'T! Take another GUR, only take if you are a comm minor/major.. There is so much busy work in this class it is ridiculous, Hardest 100 level class I've taken. Fast pace, four speeches, two exams, four essays, lots of reading, 10 online assignments, and participation mandatory.

COMM 101 is very tedious and lowkey stressful with all the speeches, but Rosemary is very helpful and her grading is very clear and easy to follow. She's been doing this for 30+ years so she really knows what she is doing. Hands down the best option for any of the COMM 101 courses you could choose from. Theres also a little extra credit.

Unfortunately, the class is run by IAs, so you rarely see Rosemary. Rosemary is a great person and is really caring whenever you do see her however. For the final speech you give, I found her to be an easy grader.

The class is taken mostly with undergraduate 'Instructor assistants' so the amount of time you actually spend with Rosemary is limited. However she was great when we did actually have a class instructed by her. The class is virtually all speaking assignment so your comfort with public speaking will have a huge impact on your enjoyment of the class.

Rosemary is the best. Shes this nice little British lady and shes very knowledgeable in speech. This class makes speech giving less scary as its broken up into smaller groups with student instructors. I honestly wish you get to see Rosemary more, she only grades your final speech in front of the whole class. If youre lucky she visits classes.

Rosemary herself is amazing! It's very obvious she cares about students and is passionate about public speaking. The course itself is mainly with IA's though, and you only see her once a week. Like others have said, it's a ridiculous amount of work for a 100 level class and I wouldn't recommend taking unless you really love communication.

(I took this during the Pandemic, so online). She is super nice and caring and, most importantly, reliable. For the most part it is clear what is expected of you. However, it is a LOT of work and can be stressful. She is a really tough grader and gives pretty harsh feedback but it is always helpful.

COMM 101 is mostly taught by IA's and you only see Rosemary about once a week. Although she is super sweet and I wish we got to see her more. The class has 4 speeches and 2 exams, pretty easy as long as you put in the work! Directions are pretty clear and she'll email you back!

I didnt know what to expect going into this course besides comm is known to be an easy subject... although the course was entirely run by IAs and I only got to see Rosemary like 3 times the entire quarter. There are about 3-4 speeches to give, 2 are very important to your grade. You are required to participate so much and have cameras on

Rosemary is a very sweet lady. Ask questions, and she will be more than happy to answer your questions. Advanced public speaking allowed me to break out of my shell and be free and be myself. I had quite a lot of fun with this class, especially when the storytelling speech came along. Rosemary also responds to e-mail frequently. A total plus!

I will be honest, I didn't like the class that much. However, Rosemary and her IA's made it extremely enjoyable to be in. You'll be spending more time with the IA's than Rosemary but she's around. The class has a couple of speeches you need to present which takes some time to research and practice.

Rosemary is really tough when it comes to grading, but as long as you do all of the work, you'll be fine! She wants you to become a better presenter so except to hear a lot of feedback from her. I loved this course overall.

I definitely enjoyed this class! The class is set up pretty simply and the assignments are clearly outlined. But you HAVE to remain up to date with everything because the coursework can be pretty heavy at times. Discussions, performances, papers, etc but no tests or quizzes! All of the work is easy, but it is a lot of work for a GUR, so be ready :)

While I think the class was a bit simple for and "advanced" public speaking course, I still enjoyed my time in it. Professor Rosemary rarely gives 100% on speeches, but if you prepare and practice thoroughly you should be fine. The speeches we did were interesting and applicable to real-life, and class time was efficiently spent. Would recommend!

Came into the class terrified of public speaking but she made me so comfortable. Such a pleasure to be around and actually made class enjoyable. Not too much homework. 4 speeches to do. Only tests are the midterm and final which I found answers on quizlet for. You really don't need to buy the textbook too tbh, didn't use it once.

If you're taking COMM 101, Rosemary is the professor to go with. She is very personable and is very understanding when it comes to public speaking.

Professor Vohs is by far one of my favorite professors so far at WWU she is such a caring lady, and her accent makes it so much more fun to listen to what she has to say. She does everything in her power to make you feel comfortable giving speeches while also giving you great feedback to help you grow. Would highly recommend

Professor Rosemary clearly cares a lot about the well being of her students. She is very animated and fun and honestly she just expects that you care about course etiquette. Show up on time, turn in the assignments, go to office hours, just show that you care about your education at all and she will love you. My favorite course from myfirst quarter

My first professor that I had in my college career, but will definitely remain as one of my favorites by the time I graduate. Very inspirational, amazing storyteller, and genuinely cares to get to know you. Would love to take another class one day.

COMM 101 is a course I think all freshman should take. I had the section class with Rosemary and the once a week lecture with Sephanie Gomez. The lecture was simple, take notes from the powerpoint slides she shows. Then there is about 3 quizzes about public speaking that are pretty straightforward. You get to choose the topics you speak about!

Public speaking was a really fun class and i took it because of a FIG. Made some great long time friends and the professor was fun and understanding. Tip: apply yourself and you'll pass

Granted, With Professor Rosemary Vohs, I was in a very easy seminar course for an interest group. So, the workload was light, but I know that no matter the class you're in, Rosemary will make it incredible. She is passionate, charming and hilarious, truly one of the most kind-hearted teachers I've ever had.

she is a great professor and her class was very fun to take. she gave great feedback on speeches and she is so helpful. there is not a lot of workload. just make sure to plan accordingly.

Rosemary is great, super kind and funny. If you apply yourself, you will get the grade you want in this class. It's not hard, just go to class, and put some efforts into the speeches. Act like you want to be there, and you'll do fine.

*this is for PSEC309 which is formerly known as EDUC309* Professor Vohs is really nice and very considerate if you miss an assignment/need help understanding something, etc. However this class is sooo much work. If you're looking for an easy GUR this is not a good fit. I have done more work for this class alone than my others combined.
