This speech class was ridiculously easy. I suggest taking it during a summer semester. Out of a 3 hour and 45 minute class, she only taught about 30 to 45 minutes. There was only 3 speeches the first one everyone one got 40 of 40 points. There also was only 2 quizes 2 writing assignments and no final exam. Plus she isn't bad on the eyes.

Book use is minimal but you'll want to use it while she's talking so you can take good notes. Prof Ramos really relates to her students and has an excellent grading scale.

Prof Darling is great! She cares about the students in her class and sparks really interesting conversations! Just 2 speeches and outlines, 2 Socratic seminars, and one group project. Makes giving speeches feel comfortable and is very clear about how grades are broken down. Attendance is graded, but most of the time we get let out early :)

Ive had crippling social anxiety for most of my life, so this was honestly the most terrifying course on my schedule. I never would have been able to stay in class if i had a different professor. Professor Darling is sooo funny and adorable, you forget speech is scary and you just have a good time. If speech is scary to u, take her!

TAKE HER CLASS! If you are dreading speech class, sign up lol. She makes everyone comfortable. Coming into her class was sort of like a big hang-out session. She is very conversational and has the funniest talking points and stories. There are only 2 individual speeches, 2 Socratic seminars, and one group speech (Only one person actually speaks).

Shauna Darling is the best professor! She really cares about the students, respects us as people who have a goal to do well. Love her, hope to have her again. I really can't say enough positive feedback. Test are based on the presentations. Follow her instructions and be honest with her if you struggle, she will assist! She's great!

This professor is peak and will actually teach you about genuine things that matter in life other than the letters and numbers SPC1017. Can't say i personally have had a teacher similar to this that has not only impacted me in their own specific subject but in life in general.A good point of view coming in to her class is that everyone is different

I took Mrs. Darling's class over the summer and I do not have enough great things to say about it. She was caring, passionate about her subject matter, and really wanted us to succeed. Her lectures were engaging and informative; I have recommended her class to all my peers. Assignments are fun and interactive. Great Professor 10/10.

One of the best teachers I've had thus far. Very nice, easy going, and relatable. Only 2 speeches, one near the beginning and near the end. Your camera does not have to be on. No tests or finals. Just a socratic seminar and a few small assignments in accordance with your speech. Very easy A. If you try and you attend, you're pretty much good.

SPC 1017 through Prof. Darling was very fulfilling. If you get nervous easily when it comes to public speaking, take the class with her! Short discussion boards and quizzes, straightforward speech outlines, and recorded speech presentations. Prof. Darling is a light grader who wants you to succeed!

Professor Darling was exceptional. She gave genuine comments of feedback on my assignments. Her class consisted of a few quizzes and 2 mini video projects. The projects helped me out of my comfort zone. I would recommend this professor for anyone that needs to take Fundamentals of Speech.

She is AMAZING. She makes the lectures so fun and engaging. The class lectures are very laid back and the work load isn't much. There are two total speeches, both fairly easy. She's so funny, very great at what she does and gives great feedback. I look forward to her classes. By far the best Speech/English teacher I've ever had.

She is very lenient and nice and she is very caring. Her class is very easy and there are only 2 assignments per week that are due if you take her online express class. There are only 2 speeches in the class that you can make the topic anything you want as long as 1 is persuasive and one is informative. She also loves Korn :) A really great Prof.

I think anyone who takes a speech class should choose Professor Darling. She is an amazing lecturer, she is engaging and makes sure the class is interesting. If you are shy, she will get you out of your shell and make you feel at ease. She is very honest, direct, and clear. She is genuinely trying to impact students for life, and she succeeds :)

She's actually one of the best professors I've ever had. If you don't pass the class, then it's actually completely on you because her class is absolutely passable. She gives very few works with lots of time to turn it in. If you're scared about the speeches, you only need to do 2, they're very doable. As long as you tried ur good. Amazing teacher!

Professor Darling is, hands down, the best instructor I have had throughout my entire college experience. Her timelines and grading are as fair as they can be, and she may be flexible depending on the circumstances. She truly cares about her students; it's obvious. There is a reason her class fills up instantly. Best professor ever!
