Yes, I agree that Ms. Fluker is a good teacher. She's helpful and her class is easy. But she's very obnoxious. I can relate to having a fun personality and charisma, but she tends to overact and become loud. Her speech at times can seem very uneducated, even though we all know that she is an educated woman. Take her class, though. Easy A. Just try.

Ms. Fluker is a very particular person. Her class is not necessarily difficult. The notes are taken during the first few classes of the semester then you write and present every 2 weeks towards the end. Although she is a nice & witty person, she is also arrogant, will make you feel uncomfortable and dumb if you ask for clarification, & grades harsh

Great in class lectures and fun/laid back atmosphere but tests are strange and challenging lots of memorization- tests felt like they were from a completely different class. Also, does not submit grades until the very last second so you generally guess your grade most semester. Final speech is a video in front of 5 ppl? Why not just do in class...

Ms. Fluker has passion for what she teaches and it shows. This class was well organized. You will have to complete four speeches and the grading criteria is very clear. Only downfall is she doesn't stay current on uploading grades to Moodle but that really isn't a huge deal.

Ms. Fluker really cares and wants to help you do as well as you can. She kind of read me for my first speech, but she gave great feedback. When I learned from her feedback and improved, so did my grade. It was that simple. It was also nice how she doesn't make you start speaking extremely quickly. If you are anxious, you'll have time to warm up.

Shes a very understanding lady. If you are shy about giving speeches, she had this early bird thing where you can show up 15 mins. before class started and give your speech to herself and 4 other students. The max early bird students were 5. If you want in, I'd be there 30 mins. before class because it fills up fast. I would totally take her again.

I will say you need to practice before you give a speech but other than that you'll pass. Also she gives you a one opportunity to drop your lowest test grade, not do a speech or not take a test.

Fluker does her best to make you comfortable with her and the class. She offers students an early bird on 3 out of the 4 speeches. There will be a midterm and a final, that is based upon a study guide she gives out. She offers a drop grade that can be used towards any of the speeches or test. I recommend saving your drop grade for your lowest grade
