Mrs Stine is an easy teacher she gives 3 exams multiple choice and you have to make sure you study from the book to pass the exams. The speeches are easy even though she grades tough on them. I would recommend her to anyone.

I dont know...i mean shes cool...easy A just show up and do your speech and you should be straight...All i didnt like is when she kept us in class and she had nothing much to talk about...like repeated herself often found myself woundering off. Other than that, easy A

She must not have liked me because I didn't get an 'easy A', I got a C because of her very strict grading methods. I do just fine when I have to give a speech, but I froze up in this class because she grades as if she was in the military. Very nice though, funny, great sense of humor. Also, u dont go to class, you lose points.

She makes it nearly impossible to earn an A in but it can be done. She makes the class very interesting. Just be aware that if you expect the class to be a cakewalk, if english is not your first language, or if you hate group work, this professor may not be your first choice. But if you like setting the bar for the class, you will enjoy her class.

MS. STEIN IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND IS ALWAYS WILLING TO LISTEN; HOWEVER, SHE IS VERY TOUGH WITH HER GRADING. THE ONLY BENEFIT IN THIS CLASS IS THAT SHE WILL LET YOU PASS ON THE FINAL IF YOU ATTEND EVERY CLASS. I GOT A (B) IN HER CLASS BUT IT WASN'T EASY. I BARELY RECOMMEND.

Great Professor! She takes a bit too long grading assignments, however she's quite fair in the grading procedure. As long as you submit your work on-time you'll have no problems. I have never waitied longer than one day for an email response. class comprised of 3 speeches which r submitted through youtube and extremely easy quizes due every week.

Very easy class. She goes over exactly what she expects in your speeches and how to do it. She made class interesting. I absolutely hate giving speeches but this was my favorite class for the semester!

MS. Stein was great. I took her in the spring and got a B. You have to go to class or your grade will reflect it. Just pay attention on all the speeches, do all extra credit, and you will do fine. The final exam is very easy, its mainly generated from all the quizzes you do in class.

I don't understand all of these bad reviews on her. She's a perfectly good speech teacher. She reminds us when assignments are coming up, never goes off on tangents, and I like all of the online work. She makes very good use of our class time. Then again, I only have her 1 day a week. But really, I think she is very nice.

WOW--glad I followed my instinct--I'm currently in her class-Prof. Stein is an AWESOME instructor--I found her to be very clear when explaining an assignment, always remind you whe an asignment is due--always available to help--all you hav to do is show up and pay attention to what she says. I was told not to take her class--but I'm so glad I did!

I would recommend Dr. Stein to anybody! She was very helpful with my nerves and she made it easy to maje a speech. Do the work and do the speeches and you will get a giod grade.

She was the most helpful instructor I've ever had. All of the assignments were CRYSTAL CLEAR. As long as you are on time and get assignments done, you'll do more than fine. She's friendly and definetly helps you deliver great speeches

This class was my worst enemy, at the beginning. Public speaking can be nerve wrecking. With taking this class and the 1000 speeches we had to present, it helped me get more comfortable about speaking in front of people. She can be a little tough on grading, but I did well in the class.

ONE OF THE BEST PROFESSORS AT HCC. DR. STEIN TOOK MY FEAR AWAY OF SPEAKING IN PUBLIC, SHE IS AN AWESOME AND NICE PROFESSOR, SHE IS ALWYS THERE TO HELP!!

I enjoyed taking Shelly Stein’s Public Speaking Class (SPC 1608). Professor Stein continually went above and beyond to ensure her students were striving to become the best public speakers. Her guidance and coaching was very helpful and motivated me to become a great speaker.

Great Instructor enjoyed her class.

Ms. Stein is wonderful about advising us what is expected, getting back to you should you have any questions and providing feedback almost immediately. When reviewing other students submissions, even if the speech was probably not as good as she had hoped, she always had positive feedback.

Great Professor. Even though I was not sure how I was going to do this course, Dr. Stein was very helpful and always willing to help me, she is very good at responding to your emails and giving feedback on your speeches outlines if you ask for them. I took the class online and I did not get to meet her in person, but I would have loved to.

This class is very understandable and I loved how helpful the professor was. Would definitely recommend her to other students and would take another course with her if available!

Dr. Stein is an exceptional teacher. She is very helpful and patient. The course overall is meant to be challenging, but is not overly difficult as long as you put in the effort and listen to the feedback from Dr. Stein. I highly recommend taking this course from Dr. Stein!

Dr Stein is a great professor, I was so worried of taking this class, but she was very helpful. She will respond to your email quickly. Read through the INSTRUCTIONS that way you will avoid getting any points off. She will tell you what to do every week!! If you're planing to take this class online make sure you have an audience for the speeches.

I enjoyed this class. I think the biggest advice that I can give is to be prepared. Do not wait until the last minute to write your speech and outline or practice your speech. Also when other people are giving their speeches be attentive. You can learn a lot by watching others speak. The reading was not difficult and the quizzes were easy.

I enjoyed taking the class with Dr. Stein. She was very knowledgeable and supportive. The best advise I can give new students is to go to Youtube and watch public speaking videos to prepare and to know what to expect during their speech assignments. I also encourage people to take the course online just due to the flexibility it offers.

Great professor, I was so worried of taking this class, but I am glad that I choose her as an instructor. she is very helpful. She'll respond to your emails quickly. Read through the Instructions in order to avoid any points off. If you are going to take this class online make sure you have the correct audience for the speeches. Good luck!

I enjoyed this class!!! I think the biggest advice that I can give is to be prepared. Do not wait until the last minute to write your speech and outline or practice your speech. Now that the semester is over, if I could look back and do it over again. I would practice my speech many times.I would be well prepared and be confident about my speech.

Professor Stein is extremely helpful throughout all the assignments. The assignments are relatively easy because she adds fun to them. If you pay attention to what she says, you will excel.

Professor Stein is a saint getting all questions answered no matter what she is there to help you. Be prepared, practice your outlines they are very helpful, go over your speech one time is never enough but do not over practice. Take a deep breathe you will make it through just ask questions for clarity. Have a great semester!

Took this class over the summer and it was a very busy summer for me. The assignments were not difficult at all and they were really fun. I really enjoyed doing the assignments and more specifically doing the online discussions because that is how we got to know one another. I definitely recommend Dr. stein if you want to have fun and learn.

Two tips: Practice your speeches often and step two...don't fall behind. 6 week courses go by quick and if you fall behind you wont be able to catch back up!

You are given a syllabus with all of your work for the entire semester. I took the course over the summer, 6 weeks, and the workload was not too extreme. Additionally, the work was easy to complete due to all of the assistance provided by the professor. She is awesome!

I really enjoyed taking Professor Stein's speech class online. She was very helpful and responded to my e-mails in a timely matter. She was patient with me also even though I was always late with my assignments. I would suggest taking her class.

Professor Stein was very helpful and has aided in helping me get over one of my fears.

she was great!

She was great! you will love her.

She is a great professor , two key words to pass this course is focus and practice and you will be successful i really enjoyed this class.

Great professor! If you have any questions just email her and she gets right back to you. Assignments and quizzes weren't bad. Stay on top of your work, participate, and always communicate!!!

Dr. Stein is amazing! She's one of the best professors I've had -she answers all questions and helps however she can. She makes everything crystal clear; if you don't know, just ask -promise she'll help you. To get a good grade, practice your speeches beforehand. Workload was not excessive, just make sure you keep up with it and you'll do great!

My advice for students that are going to take Public Speaking with Mrs. Shelly is to manage your time very wisely. Assignments can pile up very fast on you and putting them off doesn’t help at all it just puts you behind even more. Especially in a summer course that only has 6 weeks in it. Everything comes down to how well you manage your time.

Patient and nice teacher, great sense of humor. Just be sure to try and get on her good side, irritate her and she grades u a little harsher. Try and do any extra credit because assignments pile up quickly, especially between big speechs.

She knows her stuff and is patient and understanding with her students but you must put in the work. You must show effort for her to help you and she will embarrass you so don't pull any funny stuff. Have fun in the class because everyone is nervous just like you.

took her hybrid course, easy course, quizzes you get a second chance on, needed it once, discussions, and replies, and some speeches, seriously loved this class! gives extra credit

She's a great teacher, she always gives great feedback for your speeches. She actually wants you to pass and she cares. Everyone is nervous giving speeches so don't worry if you mess up as long as you hit the time come prepared and make eye contact with the audience you'll get a good grade.

I took her online and she was really not bad at all. Quizzes were super easy (if you read). Lots of discussion based assignments and a speech to turn in every other week. Really helpful when I had questions about assignments.

I went in terrified of speaking in front of people, but got a 97% in the class. Tests and speeches are easy. Stein is okay. If you stay on her good side, you'll do well in the class. If your speech goes against her personal views, she finds places to take off points (even if your facts are true). Keep it middle of the road, and you'll be fine.

This teacher does a really good job at teaching the type of public speaking you must know that can help you throughout life! 50% of your grade is speeches and the rest of your grade is quizzes and participation and a few discussions. If you go first on speech days she usually grades you a little easier, so go first! Great teacher overall!

Teacher is good, it's not ridiculously hard if you just take your time in doing your speeches. She also gives you the opportunity to send your outlines to her so she can give you feedback which will help tremendously with your overall speech grade. I was nervous at first but the students and the teacher makes it better and bearable.

This is a fun class that really helps you to get to know students in your class while getting credit for school. Best advice for passing is take time to do research for your assignments and get the book.

Taking this course with Professor Stein was very rewarding. You don't just get an easy A. It is earned. That's what made me appreciate Public speaking more, I learned and developed speaking and communication skills that I will use in my career and everyday life. Use your book for the quizzes , practice your speeches, and always have an outlines!

Took online, 8-week course. The deadlines were very reasonable and she offered detailed instructions and expectations which really help you do well - follow these instructions to a T. Don't procrastinate, the assignments were straightforward but time consuming so start early.

Dr. Stein did a great job going from face-to-face to online probably because she teaches a lot online. I don't get the bad reviews because she always provided fast feedback. She has an Ask a question discussion where she answers questions & might tell you to look there. So, if you don't check the discussion, then you won't see the answer.

She was understanding and took the fear out of public speaking.

Took 12-week online class. Speeches are 50%, quizzes 20%, discussions & written work 30%. Each week there were quizzes and a discussion or homework. Speeches were every 3 weeks. Average difficulty for an online class. Speeches are the toughest. Do not procrastinate, ask for feedback on your outline/visuals and you will do fine.

I took the class online & dreaded it. Still not a fan of speaking in front of people but Dr. Stein provided a lot of feedback & support. When COVID quarantine hit, she eased up on the audience requirement to only household members, delayed quiz deadlines to the last day & had a no excuse required, late submission w/o penalty policy. Very fair.

I dreaded taking this class but was very happy I ended up with Dr. Stein! She was was really interested in my speech topics. She doesn't care so much about your delivery other than eye contact. If you submit your outline for feedback before your speech you will receive an easy A on your speech.

I took her online Spring 2020 and I am glad I did. When COVID hit she relaxed all of her deadlines and did not require an audience other than who you lived with at the time. She encouraged me when I fell behind and helped my grade go from a C to an A.

This is information you can actually use in real life!

I added this class late and was lucky to get in. I was even happier when I found out how easy and fun the class would be. I have a lot of anxiety and dreaded taking public speaking but Dr Stein was easy-going and helped make all of the work worthwhile. I would recommend her to anyone especially if you fear public speaking.

Take this class for an easy work-load and an easy A.

I took the 12-week online class and received an A with average effort. There are weekly quizzes or discussions and 3 major speeches. If you turn your work in on time, ask questions, and read the feedback on your speeches, the class is an easy A.

Public speaking was a fun class even online. I learned a lot more than I thought I would. I highly recommend Dr. Stein.

I took SPC-1608 (Public Speaking) as a hybrid course. Professor Stein is not very strict as long as you put in the effort into your speech (especially the last 2). The course is about improving your public speaking ability. The speeches we had to deliver were interesting. Have fun and be creative you are with your speeches to get an A.
