She is very helpful. She wants all of her student to do well in her class. She is always excited to teach the class. There are speeches that you have to give, but she gives you pleanty of time to work on them, and she even helps you so you can get a good grade. Her test cover what we have talked about, and doesn't add anything new. She is a great!
Whether a first year or a returning student, Dr. Dean is a great teacher. This is a speech class so be prepared to speak. Follows text and powerpoint presentations. Made it very easy and comfortable to give a speech in public. Go to the class, complete the work, listen and you should get a decent grade
Dr.Dean is 100% the nicest most knowledgeable professor I've ever had. I actually wanted to show up for her class & when I did I always left happy & with an understanding of what she taught. I?ve overcome my fear of public speaking thanks to her. She posts everything online that she teaches in class & her PowerPoint?s are super easy to comprehend.
Dr. Dean is one of the best professors I've had! She is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. I looked forward to going to her class. She puts forth a lot of effort to help you feel more comfortable with public speaking, and it works! Tests are easy and over material covered in class. We had 4 speeches, one of which was a group project.
PHD. Trilingual. Hands down the best class I have every taken in my entire educational carrer. What you learn in this class will benefit you for your entire life. Stop looking for a different class and TAKE THIS CLASS!
Best professor I have ever had! She is enthusiastic about the class, and extremely helpful. I enjoyed going to her class so much! I actually looked forward to it. TAKE THIS CLASS!! She is amazing.
Great teacher
I was afraid of public speaking before this class. I now have given 4 speeches and feel so much better, thanks to Dr. Dean. She is truly an amazing person and cares about each student succeeding. She gives very helpful feedback for each speech. She also brings fun information about other countries to the classroom. I highly recommend this teacher.
She is the best professor i have ever had!!!
Best teacher! Ask anyone on staff, and they'll tell you that she is just wonderful, and rightfully so. Very caring, and simply outstanding. And do the journals - they will cost you in the end! If I could take her again for a different class, I would!
Dr. Dean is the best teacher i ever had. Her class is fun and she gives a lot of interesting information. I made an A+ in her class and it wasn't hard at all. It is an easy class but of course you have to do some work to earn the grade. I never read the book just took notes in class and went over her power points and I did great.
THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD. SHE IS VERY HELPFUL AND LOVES HER STUDENTS. SHE MAKES HER CLASS VERY INTRESTING.
I was extremely pleased with this teacher!She has an amazing way of explaing things so the whole class understands! I would take this class again without a doubt!

Dr. Dean is the best prof. I've had so far! I actually learned so much in this class. She was SOOOO helpful! (: Can't imagine taking speech with any other prof. TAKE HER!!! TAKE HER!!!
She is probably one of the most qualified teachers there are to teach communications. She really understands what she is teaching and actually practices it. She strives for her students to really comprehend the subject. Overall, after looking back, I enjoyed her class. Do the work, and you'll do perfectly fine. TAKE HER!
This class was a breath of fresh air. I enjoyed coming, and always wanted more when I left class. Dr. Dean is clear with what she wants, is very monochromatic with her time, and grades fairly. She genuinely cares about every student in her class, and wants you to thrive. Take from her, and you'll be learning much more than simply speaking in public
Yes!! Absolutely!! Dr. Sherry Dean is the teacher you want to take for a speech class.When you take the class you will think, "man this was easy!" It's because of the way she teaches the class. Even if it is online. I learned alot in her class. Her style of teaching is easy yet you WILL learn alot from her. She is as professional as teachers come.
Dr. Dean is an awesome professor!! She is so passionate about speech and want her students to get passionate about it too. She really cares about her students and their well being. Yes, there is an moderate amount of work to do, but it's real easy and you should end up with an A.

She was the greatest teacher I've ever had! Respect her students and really passionate about what she does! You should sign up her classes and you will never regret it!
I forced myself to take this class in order to learn ways of conquering my fear of public speaking. If it was not for the material along with a great Professor like Dr. Dean, I greatly feel I would still be in the same position I was going into the semester. She is understanding and compassionate with her students. Overall a wonderful choice.
She's passionate, caring and really interested sharing her knowledge. Her class isn't exactly "easy" but she motivates you to want to do your work and actually try.

I took this class without knowing her and it truly amazed me that there still are good teachers out there who care about students like Dr.Dean. I would recommend everybody to take her class. You will not be dissapointed
Dr. Dean is one of the best! She wants you to grasp the concepts she is teaching, and expects the best from you. She is willing to work with you on assignment due dates if something happened, other than you just forgot. Turn work in on time, read the book, and you should be able to pass the class easily. This is definitely not a blow off class.
Dr. Dean was an awesome professor! Being an all online student it's easy to become frustrated by unclear instructions & unresponsive teachers. Dr. Dean was always crystal clear w/ everything in her course though & OUTSTANDING w/ communicating. This is a true teacher who wants her class to not only succeed, but excel. Plus, she offers extra credit!
Dr. Dean is an excellent teacher. She gives clear instructions for every assignment and is available to answer questions.

She makes sure insruction for all assignments are clear and she is available for questions. If you are debating about which professor to choose, I highly recommend choosing Dr. Dean.\
The best professor I have had yet! You won't find another professor as passionate about her subject on campus. She is respectful, hyper intelligent and very, very knowledgeable about her subject matter. My only regret is that I can't have her for all of my classes.
She is great! She is very engaged and involved in the class even for an 8am class. She's very organized and precise with what we are going over. Her speech topics aren't terrible and she makes everyone comfortable with each other right away. I hate public speaking, but she made it easy! Take her class, you won't regret it.
Dr. Dean brings out the best in people, and she’s been named TEACHER OF THE YEAR 3 times, INNOVATOR OF THE YEAR twice, and is literally a WHO’S WHO AMONG AMERICAN WOMEN. You’ll learn a lot from this incredible instructor. In your entire academic career you won’t get many chances to take a class from a teacher of the year, so don’t miss this one!

She offers many extra credit opportunities. All of her projects and exams are very easy and it's easy to get an A if you pay attention and do the work.
Because of the energy level of Dr. Dean, she held my interest and made the class fun as well. I enjoyed her teaching style which included class participation and she brought out the 'inner student', in that those who were shy going in, are now more outgoing and comfortable speaking in front of an audience. Dr. Dean brings out the best in others.
Dr. Dean is a great professor! She holds your interest, and she tells you exactly what she wants to see in every assignment. If you pay attention, come to class, and do the assignments, then you will do very well. I would absolutely recommend her!

Dr. Dean is literally brilliant. She (obviously) has a PHD, she's been KNIGHTED by the French government, she's 6 feet tall, but despite how intimidating she could be, she's so sweet and understanding. She's been my favorite teacher so far- if I had an issue, she gave me advice on how to fix it and displayed patience and kindness. I love her!
Dr. Dean is a great teacher, she's always smiling, enthusiastic to teach, and charismatic. She is strict when it comes to assignments and how she wants them. Her exams are based on class notes and parts of the book. I recommend Dr. Dean as a professor to anyone.
She is the best instructors because cares about have you are doing in class. I’ve been going to school for two years and there are not many instructors that took time out to coach you one on one. I barely got five minute from my other teachers. She speaks multiple languages, and makes studying fun and interesting. Take this class! It's an easy A!
Dr. Dean is a fantastic teacher. Her class will ameliorate your diction.Dr. Dean is passionate about her students success, and will go above and beyond to ensure you understand the curriculum.Dr. Dean is a consistent teacher,if she had a bad day,I could not tell. Dr. Dean brings all students out of their shell. She also looks like Katy Perry.
Dr. Dean is an outstanding Professor. She will go out of her way to make sure her students are successful. She is very passionate about culture and that makes her class interesting.Her grading is strict, but as long you stay on task you'll be fine. Lastly, Dr. Dean is charismatic, always smiles and cares about her students. I loved her class.
Dr. Dean was really helpful and so sweet. She kept us all really engaged in the lessons. Even though this was a really short class she taught us a lot of information.
I am an older, non-traditional student. I took this class under Dr. Dean as a requirement to complete my degree requirements. The emphasis on communication in the global business environment was a welcome, real world, addition to the traditional course. Dr. Dean is an inspirational model for students who will become leaders in their fields.
Dr. Dean is one of the best professors I've had yet and I've been to Richland for two semesters. She really tries to make sure that you understand the material and you apply it. She makes you get comfortable with your classmates so you can easily speak in front of them. Last, she gives you secrets on how to talk in front of people. She's awesome.
Dr. Dean is one of the best professors I've had. She is patient and helpful. She makes the class fun and energetic, you'll never be bored, and you will learn a lot. She truly has a passion for teaching. I honestly believe if all professors were like her there would be no doubt that successful people will come out of this institution.
Hands down, greatest teacher I've had.
At first I hesitated in taking this class in a lecture style, rather than online, but in the end I have no regrets in taking this class. Dr. Dean made this class really awesome. I highly recommend taking her. The class is very interactive & you won't be bored. If you have a fear of speeches, Dr. Dean will guide you well and give you confidence
Dr. Dean is an incredibly good instructor. I took her speech class for the maymester and I couldn't have been any more fortunate. While maymester was still rushed to an extent, Dr. Deans clarity and effective communication made the class very easy to follow and interactive. I highly recommend this instructor.
By the second class period, Dr. Dean had all of our names memorized. She cares, is detailed, knows her material, speaks clearly, and is a fair grader. You will learn a lot, and have fun doing it. Just take the class seriously and do your work.
If you want to just coast along and not take speech seriously, do not take Professor Dean's class. However, if you genuinely want to learn and learn from the best, then she is exactly the professor you're looking for.
I took Dr. Dean's online speech 1311 this past semester and loved it she an amazing professor. I met her once to give one of my speeches on campus and I was bummed out I didn't take her class on campus because she is a great professor who really cares with a great personality.
I have enjoyed Dr. Dean's class and the subject matter in which she is teaching. I will take my lessons learned and move forward.
I took this class during winter term. The only downfall of this class was doing presentations in front of people and posting them on youtube. It's not that I'm shy to do presentations in front of my family, it's just that it's a bit awkward. I ended up making a B due to the fact my presentations didn't have enough of an audience (at least 5 people)
Dr. Dean is such a kind and amazing person. Her Business and Profession Communication class prepares students to be ready for pursuing a successful career path. I got a job right after took her class. I highly recommend the next big entrepreneur or big-time future employee to take this class.
She is so wonderful. Just do your work and read chapters. You'll be fine. She is a fair grader. After taking this class, you will be more confident.
Dr. Sherry Dean is an amazing and wonderful person inside and out. If you show up to class and read the books, you will pass. She is extremely talented and knowledgeable. Quizzes are online and open book. She's extremely fair and gives lots of extra credit opportunities. No final exam just an End of Year Social with Pot Luck food.
For obvious reasons, I would also add the following tags to describe Dr. Dean: Participation Matters, Respected by students, Lectures take up every second of your scheduled class. Everything we learned during fall 2014 was meant to help us in the business world, and thanks to her, I feel more confident and ready to face a professional career.
I took SPCH 1321 this Fall 2014 with Dr. Sherry Dean. Not only the class is interesting and EXTREMELY HELPFUL for a future as a professional, but also Dr. Dean is an amazing professor and person. She is really professional and caring about her students. Her experience and great teaching skills are the reasons why I would take another class with her
Dr. Dean has by far been THE best professor that I've taken at Richland College. She cares for students and wishes the best for them as if they were her own. She makes class very interesting and gives you detailed feedback about your work. She is a very sweet and genuine woman and you can tell she is very passionate about her job. LOVE HER!
This is a tough class and not for the weak in reading skills. A lot of reading is required for this class, however, Dr. Dean does give a lot of time to do the reading and she is very fair. She also gives you good feedback on your speeches. She's a great professor and I learned a lot, I would take her class again.
Loved this class. Not an easy A, but nothing too hard. Also gives many opportunities to raise your grade. Very sweet lady and loves what she does. I'm recommend this class 100% and would take it over again if I had to.
Dr. Dean was super helpful, fun, and encouraging. She made doing speeches easy, and I'm not one to enjoy (at all) public speaking. The tests were directly from the book, and she provided plenty of chances for extra credit. This was my favorite class this semester, and I was sad to leave! Would take again any day!!!
Dr. Dean was an amazing professor. Even though it was an online class, she provided us constructive feedback. She's very caring and very professional. I'd love to take her again. Workload isn't too bad. Presentations, group work, and quizzes are not difficult. You'll learn something from her class. Take her!!
Professor Dean is awesome! I took her class online and would highly recommend to anyone! Very fair in grading and is enthusiastic and passionate about what she does and helping her students succeed! Great professor, take her class!!!
Dr. Dean is excellent! Her class is fun and esay. I got an A easily. She is also very kind and care of her students. Take her class, you will not feel regret.
If you are looking for an easy professor and an easy grade for your speech requirement, Dr. Sherry Dean is not for you. If you are looking for a speech class that will challenge you, led by a professor who genuinely cares about you and your future, look no further. Dr. Dean is the best mentor I have ever had.
Extremely nice professor. Well respected by her students. Such a beautiful person inside and out, Wish I could take her class again...
Dr. Dean is very enthusiastic and has set assignments that are easy to follow. She does her best to bring the speaker out of students and make each of us feel comfortable. Pay attention, read, participate, put forth effort and anyone can make a high grade. Great instructor and class! (:
Do you want to be a better speaker and communicate effectively? Take Dr Dean. She knows what she is doing. I always avoided this class, but I'm glad I took it with her. I really learned about communication and I apply the things I learned in my life. It really works
If you are a shy person afraid of public speaking I highly recommend taking her online class. She's extremely helpful and gives extra credit opportunities. Only one group project but it's very easy. I would definitely take this class again. Although you do have to record and upload speeches online, it's not that bad.
Dr. Dean is a wonderful teacher who loves her job! She is willing to help you in whatever you need and wants her students to excel in her class! There is no reason to not get the grade you want if you just make sure to turn in all the work.
Took online for wintermester because of reviews on here. Everything is explained in depth . Very organized. Replies quickly to emails. would love to have her again. received a B!(:
I took Dr. Dean online speech 1311 class spring, 2015 flex term. I found the class easy with A. I wish I have more professors like her who guides students with clear instructions.

Her grading criteria's are there and they are clear. She gives extra credits as well. She is very informative which is very important for online students.
Mrs. Dean is an excellent teacher. She was quick to provide thoughtful and clear feedback that improved not only my speaking skills but my writing skills as well. She was understandable of conflicts and she was an individual who really impacted the way I see Speech. Due to her, I'm minoring in Communications. She's one of the best at Richland.
She will teach you from her heart. I spent only 2 hrs reading the chapters before the test, always end up with A+. She will motivate you and give you real life example. I took her class at 8AM and could not fall asleep even though i got only 3 hours of sleep almost everyday. She will teach you the real techniques to win people hearts, don't miss it
Best Professor I have had! Dr. Dean makes her lectures very interesting and I would recommend her to everyone out there! She really makes the a class a lot of fun and she makes speeches easy for students to do. Really helps out with anxiety issues and etc. Learned so much from this class, not just about Speech but real life lessons . Loved her.
Dr. Dean simply put, is an incredible woman. She is probably the most empathetic professor you will ever have. Not only are all her tests OPEN BOOK, if you follow her instructions, this class will be the easiest A+ you'll ever get
I really like Dr. Dean's class. No one wants to play cellphone during her class. Well, it is her rule. But even you can, you won't do that. Lots of communication and interaction make this course fun. Don't worry about your poor English. No one cares about that. You will learn a lot from her class. Take her class! You won't regret.

Very easy class. She is very helpful. If you are nervous about giving a speech she will make it easy for you. You will learn more than communication. She is definitely a good connection to have. This is a class to help you in the real world. Her lectures are not boring. Tests are easy, assignments are easy. Great feedback. She is very appreciative

Dr. Dean is an amazing professor. Her class is difficult but she makes coming to class the high point of my day. She is inspirational and really invests in her students. Dr. Dean makes you work for the grade but is not very difficult if you are willing to put some effort in the class. Definitely taking another class with her!
Dr. Dean is a exceptional professor. She may look serious but she has great suave when she teaches. Let's just say I worked nights always came to her class half a sleep but once she began her lecture I would wake right up. She adds humor to the lectures. This class will help give you the skills for having the best resume, how to rock an interview.
Little did I know I was going to have such an awesome time and improve so much my speaking skills.I went in with social anxiety and fear of speaking. And came out a better person with more confidence .she is the way to go if you want to get something out of this class other than just your credits. She is tough but with love.& is such an inspiration
Dr. Dean is the most inspirational teacher I have ever taken class with. She values her students' idea and appreciate all kinds of participation as long as it is appropriate and not offending.

Professor Dean was by far my favorite and most interesting professor .Her online class is very easy to participate in. I look forward to taking her Business Communications class on campus.
I also took her for my regular speech class online. I've never felt a connection with a teach online like that to where I wanted to take her real time class. She's amazing, high-spirited, encouraging, dedicated, well-spoken, and clearly intelligent. She truly believes in you and respects you as a human being. I'm glad I was able to have her twice.
Prof. Dean is a great person. She helped me throughout my speeches. I took this course for only 1 month. The assignments are 3 speeches, 5 quizes, and 4 group projects. They are not that hard. Take her, you won't regret it.
I took this class online (flex). It was very clear and easy to flow. The professor is very helpful and motivate her students. She offers her student the chance to deliver their speech to school. I learned a lot from this class even though it was short. Expect at least one homework. I would highly recommend taking this class.
She is an excellent teacher. Her motivating skills represent that she did many research on human communication. I took speech 1311 online with her and have learned a lot regarding communication behavior, speech presentation. She always takes students grade into her consideration so that students can achieve highest grade. Take her class.
Dr. Dean's class was awesome to be a part of she made giving speeches fun if that's possible. Take if from a person that dose not like public speaking she motivated me to break out of my shell. She really loves what she does and it comes across in her passion for each student.
Dr. Dean is very inspiring! She loves what she does & really cares for her students. Quizes are take home can be completed with a group. Essays are simple as long as you do all your work. However, Dr. Dean will give you all the tools you need to pass its on you if you take advantage or not. You'll love her and I would definitely take her again!

Working on her feedback will ensure success.
Dr. Dean is a fantastic teacher! She loves what she does, and it shows. As long as you listen to her instructions and put in a few hours of effort per week, you should be able to ace her course.

She is a best teacher in Richland. I had amazing speech class.
Dr. Dean is a amazing professor. She gives outstanding feedback. You can tell that she enjoys teaching her students.

I recently took this class with Dr. Dean and I couldn't be more happy! She is a great teacher, she gives great feed back, paticipation matters but since her lectures are not boring is easy to engage in them. She is very passionate about what she teaches and of course her clas and students as well. I will take her again next semester!
Dr. Dean is probably the best professor you'll have It's hard not to get an A unless you're just a complete slacker. She's allows there to help. She clearly lists the assignments. And she only assigns work that you have learned about. You don't use the textbook hardly at all except for the quizes. (Which you take online at home)
Great teacher! Positive, open and with a wide knowledge on speech and life in general! I recommend taking any of her classes.
I took Speech 1311 with Dr. Sherry Dean, and I'm glad that I did. She is one of the best teachers in Richland College.

Dr. Dean has a positive attitude even on early mornings. You can also tell she loves teaching from her joyous personality. Would definitely take her again if I had a chance!
Dr. Dean is an excellent teacher. You learn how to communicate, listen, and speak well. The country group presentation is challenging and helpful for university and work presentations. She does assign much homework, though manageable, and attendance is important. You will learn much from her about living well and giving the most from this life.
Dr. Dean is an amazing teacher. Her classes are never boring. She is always be there for you and gives excellent feedback for your works. Her lecture and requirements are super clear, and all you need to do is follow her instructions to get good grades. I would definitely take her class again.
Dr. Dean is ( and I am not just saying) the best professor that I have ever taken. She helps everybody in the class not matter who you are.

If you really want to make an A take her!!

It was fun and pushed me past my comfort zones.

Dr Dean will change the way you look at educators She is an amazing person that is all about her students it was a pleasure being in her class
Shes is a very nice teacher who is also easy. Shouldnt have a problem getting an A as long as you complete the assignments.
Dr. Dean indeed reveals to us the power of positive critique - to inform, encourage, direct and support. It appears too often we get hypercritical to the extent that the good we intend to convey gets "interred in bones". Dr. Dean teaches, and she practices what she teaches. That is wonderful. You'll find Speech with Dr. Dean highly beneficial.
This woman is absolutely amazing! She is so inspiring and someone you can look up to. She speaks with such passion, grace, and purpose. There are 3 speeches you will take. One will be a group project. This class got more personal than expected, but you feel comfortable sharing with others. She makes you interact as a class. BEST TEACHER EVER!!!
Dr. Dean is AMAZINGGGG!!!!! the BEST teacher ever she makes class so much fun. She gives great feedback. All you have to do is "follow the model." She is also very understanding. I wish I could take her all over again. Definitely recommend her to anyone. You can thank me later.

Dr. Dean is an amazing teacher. So knowledgable and helpful. She really wants to see everyone in her class succeed. Gives tons of extra credit but you shouldn't need it if you do the homework and the group project. Such a pleasure to take her class.
Wonderful professor with a passion to teach. Her lectures are those that you never forget and keep them with you through out your life. Her class is stimulating and extremely educational and keeps you wanting to know more. The speeches that you get to present are motivational and she brings the best out of her students.
Professor Dean was an inspiring and passionate professor to have. She really wanted her students to break away from their fear of public speaking and become more confident in our speaking skills. There were a lot of quizzes; however, you can use your text book. Three speeches you can do at home or at the school, and one online group project.
Dr. Dean is an amazing teacher. I took a four week online class and was unsure in the beginning if I could keep up with the work load. It was easier than I thought. There is a lot of reading. Amazing ability to make you feel comfortable giving speeches. .
I took this as a four-week course and admittedly it is intense. Dr. Dean made it easier though with excellent feedback and motivation. She is highly skilled and respected so you know you are getting a quality education when you take her class. If you are diligent and have good time management skills, I recommend taking the four-week class, othe
I really enjoyed this class with Professor Dean. Her online class was very clear with an excellent outline for tests and papers due. She gave good, productive feedback on my work. She is encouraging and helped the class to stay on track and to keep motivated. I would highly recommend this class and would happily take again with Prof. Dean.

This professor is amazing! She is very kind to the students and always helps you if you have any problems with either lecture or technology use. I enjoyed her class so much, and it was worth my effort overall.
I took professor Dean's SPCH1311 class online and I greatly regretted it. I should have taken it in person! Professor Dean is charming, insightful and very inspirational. She teaches skills that are applicable to every day life and RMP doesn't give me enough characters to fully express how great she is. Online was great, but take it in person!
This class was great and Dr. Dean was an amazing professor! There were 1-2 quizzes, 1-2 discussion boards, 1 speech and group work due every week (4 wks) but it was definitely doable and easy to make an A if you dedicate time to the course. Dr. Dean was very willing to work with students and provide awesome feedback! Would definitely recommend her!
Dr. Dean is an exceptional professor. She is very knowledgeable and knows how to teach very well. I enjoyed her class very much and it was not hard at all!

Although, 350 characters are not nearly adequate to describe her. Thank you Dr. Dean!
I took this class online for 4 weeks. The workload was heavy (something is due almost every day!) which is expected but totally do-able. Dr Dean grades you fairly and gives good feedback.

Dr. Dean is an amazing professor to take for an online course. She has a very organized system online and it is very easy to find all your assignments. She also makes sure to give step by step instructions of the work you need to do so there is no confusion involved. The work load is very reasonable and easy to keep up with. Highly recommend her.
I was blessed to take this course from Dr Dean after I retired from the US Army. She cares about her students to a degree much higher than most accomplished educators. She is hard yet fair, stern yet compassionate. By far the best teacher on that campus!
The professor has something due every week for a 16 week course. You have to record 1 speech for your classmates to see and upload it on something like Youtube in order to pass the class. She also has a group assignment in the form of a virtual meeting that counts for a major part of your grade. She will also deduct points for any little thing.
Excellent course & professor. Syllabus & rubrics are detailed. You should read her email at the beginning of week since it helps you prepare them well. She takes care of her students carefully, grades assignments quickly & IMPORTANTLY leaves her helpful comments so YOU prepare better for next activity or documents (resume, cover, LinkedIn,...)
Ah! What a great human being she is. I just love the way she teaches. Cons: A lot of work and heavy lectures every day.
Enjoyed the class
Professor Dean is a very respectful and caring teacher that actually cares about your success, so if you are debating whether to take her class, I would advise you to do so! The assignments are easy, but there are two required video speeches so be prepared for that. Overall, she gives great feedback and extra credit at the end of the course.
Professor was very nice and it was a very easy class. Professor was very helpful, quick at responding, and good at teaching. We had things to practice on, videos to watch, and speeches to do. Professor Dean was very flexible as well.
Dr Dean is a caring person who wants her students to succeed. I was completely lost when the class started because it was my first time taking online classes and was taking 4 at my first semester. I was overwhelmed and thinking of dropping the class. I received a call from Dr Dean and she helped me get back on track. B because I missed 1 homework.
I was really dreading having to take a speech course. Dr. Dean made it fun and Interesting. I took this class in a very short May-mester term so we had assignments due every other day. The course was fast paced but easy to understand and follow directions.
Dr.Dean teaches very good .
Awesome class! Lots of great discussions and easy assignments.
Dr. Dean was an amazing professor. Her course was well laid out and super easy to follow. As long as you read the directions for each assignment carefully and provide adequate, well thought out responses you will get an "A". Dr. Dean also provides great feedback on every assignment and is very inspirational and encouraging with her comments.
Dr. Dean was a great professor to have because she always responded to emails quickly, tried to help in any manner possible, and she gave extra credit opportunities. For the summer semester, there are about 2-4 assignments per week and most of them don't take very long; but, the quizzes are about 2 hrs each and require multiple readings.
I took this class as an online class, and even though I've never seen or met her, you can tell she cares about what she does. Some assignments are long, but she's very nice and gives good feedback. The only downside was having to do online group projects.
Dr. Dean really cares about her students. She gives thoughtful feedback. Her assignments are simple but you will have to put in a lot of effort and give thoughtful answers. The group project was better than I thought it would be. Overall, her class was so interesting and she is one of the best professors I've had. Take her class!
Took this as an 8 week class, super easy class. Had about 2 assignments due each week. Had 2 speeches each with a live audience. Her feedback is really good, so make sure to take the feedback. The group project is really easy, and she guides you through everything in the course.
Really enjoyed my Speech 1311 class. It was a mini maymester, so it was very fast passed. But, Dr. Dean made it flawless. Her is the ruins for each assignment were clear. We would also receive an announcement every three to four days, letting us know what was due f
This professor is very picky when it comes to your speeches. If you miss one or two little details she will dock off enough points to give you a C. Working hard isn't enough to get you an A in this class.. you have to fight for your life.
Professor Dean's 1311 class was engaging and manageable. Assignments were straightforward, and her feedback was invaluable. I found unstuckstudy AI a helpful study tool alongside the provided resources. Overall, a great class experience.
