She is so great. She keeps you interested even at 8 o clock in the morning. If you have a chance to take her, you should because she is the funnest and most excting teacher you'll ever have. Plus she is very hot...i mean beautiful
She kicks ass, but don't fall asleep in her morning classes, she throw chalk at you, very easy teacher, just do your work, EZ "A"
Skye is cute, funny and helpful. The class isn't the interesting, but she helped to make it worth my time
I took the two saturday class. It was easy, but long. There were a lot of breaks which was nice. The inner circle stuff was a pain, but it was not bad. It was a little crowded, and the cave is not a fun classroom, but she is a good teacher and a ****.
This instructor is a very nice person, but she was disorganized and often 15-25 mins late to class.
I love this class. Skye is so nice and she always has something helpful to say. She knows that public speaking makes people feel vulnerable, so she makes it as painless as possible. I really love her style. I also had her for listening, which was LONG, but still interesting. TAKE GENTILE!!!
she has a lot of engery, and is super helpful
This class was the best class Ive had out of my 3 years of going to Cabrillo. Skye is full of energy and always willing to help. Skye has a refreshing sense of humor so its never a dull moment. I highly recommend this teacher. If you take her class you'll be glad you did!
Skye is fun, has a great sense of humor, and is always able to explain things in a way that makes sense. She is always willing to help you in any way she can, and does a great job helping students overcome their public speaking anxiety. Take from her if you get the chance; you'll be glad you did
Skye is one of the best teachers I've ever had. She's funny, smart, interested in communications and has an infectious personality. Take her class. She wants to help you, and she wants you to do well, but you have to work. Take her class.
One of the best Professors I have ever had. I am a shy guy and have always been deathly afraid of public speaking.Skye tells stories, jokes and tells you what you need to do better straight up. Because of her my confidence level has shot up immensity. Her classroom is always full of energy and upbeat.I can go on and on.She is fantastic.
One of the best teachers I had at Cabrillo. She's funny and smart. Class is entertaining. Don't miss out on this teacher.
She is a great teacher. She really lets you go and do stuff by yourself but is always there to help when you need her. She loves to say crappy crap.....but its so funny! She is a great teacher and she has a great sense of humor which is great because when teachers have a sense of humor they seem more approachable......well thats how I feel! SKYE!
AMAZING! She truly opened my eyes to a greater level of communication. Shes high energy, lot of fun. Need to put quite a bit of time into class work but the work is not difficult and it is extremely beneficial! Shes a must!
Skye is a GREAT teacher! I had no idea what to expect from communications but she is hilarious and it was extremely interesting. The workload is not that much. She is so personable and fun and the class atmosphere reflects that. Take her at any chance!
Skye is by far one of the best teachers i've ever had. i loved her class and recommend taking her if you get the chance. her style is a little different than most, but in a good way. she allows you to work at your own pace and gives a lot of group time, but she is always there if you need help. i loved her. she was crazy and so much fun.
Skye is energetic and lots of fun. She doesn't really give strict deadlines. It's an easy A. I learned a lot and had fun. Definitely take from her.
Missed several classes, spent more time complaining about the farmer's market than actually teaching, and the class was generally a massive waste of time.
Skye is the best teacher at Cabrillo College! After going there for 2 years, she has hands down been one of my favorites. I have taken 4 of her classes and they have all been amazing! Definitely sign up for her classes, they go super fast!! She is very helpful, and an easy grader too.
Such a powerful class! loved every minute of it! Skye shows up pumped full of energy and always ready to do something creative. Overall I highly recommend the class. Very inspiring.
She was funny, easy, and definitly helpful. I had her for listening on 2 saturdays and she made it as enjoyable as it could be
Skye is awsome. Have taken her for Comm 1 and 12 and will later for Comm 2 and 10. (I like to stick with the same teacher :P) Shes scatter brained and a bit out there but is very passionate about her subject and makes you want to learn. I changed my major because of her class. She is a ton of fun and I highly recomend her.
Skye took a very scary class, and made it not intimidating. All this while juggling SEVERAL other classes, Spring Fling, and trying to impact the community we live in. I'll never take another comm class at Cabrillo unless she's teaching it!
Sky is the greatest! I hate public speaking but she was very supportive and takes all the craziness for herself so you look really calm and normal. Outline the chapters of the book, write and present about 5 speeches and thats about it. Pretty simple!
Skye is dedicated, funny, brilliant, creative and caring. She is truly much more than a teacher, she is an example and a compassionate human being. Allow yourself to know her.
Skye is a total trip....great break and complement to any tough or boring classes....if you show up most of the time, and try, you'll get a good grade....you'll also enjoy the class alot, which makes it easier to not miss....4 speeches and a few outlines from a book is all you need to do.....Skye will teach, inspire, and lead .....enjoy !!!!
Great Class ! Wish some other instructors at the collage took some notes on how to run a class from her. Learned alot and wont forget her.
Skye is an awesome and inspirational teacher who is very passionate about her job. Her class is pretty easy, aside from quite a bit of note-taking from the book, but she is always willing to give you extra time for speeches & assignments. She's awesome! Definitely recommended!
Skye is a bit overwhelming at first, because she's unusual and fun and says weird words, but shes very passionate about her topic and you quickly adjust to her methods. Fun class, allows you a nice break in your day and still teaches you. I had a lot of fun. Workload is relatively light.
Skye, is just awesome. I took her small group communication class to satisfy a general ed requirement and now i'm hooked on comm. She is one of the most helpful, kind, flexible, and inspiring teachers i have ever had. She makes the material very interesting and really cares about her students success academically as well as mentally and socially.
She's very funny! She always makes you laugh.. The problem is she's always late.. but it's a a good thing. sometimes she will cancel the class! lol
I cannot believe that Skye is still employed. She is a decently nice person, though pretty nuts. But she's completely flaky. On speaking days where 5 more people were still scheduled to speak she would end class early because she just "needed" to get coffee. She also favors those who bring her coffee. Don't take her if you actually want to learn!
Took class over the wintersession. Course was very simple and easy to follow. Class grade taken mostly off of attendance (80%) and the final. As she put it, if your breathing and show up to class, you will pass!
Easy class lots to learn
unfocused- unclear- disorginized- more concerned with being liked then teaching- dot get me wrong Nice lady just highly unfocused and winey
Wow! The worst comm teacher I have ever had. I real nut. And I'm not just referring to her classroom "appropriate" attire. If you really want to go into Comm Arts field don't go anywhere near her.
Skye is a really inspiring person and teacher. She has a lot of rad info to share on dealing with self and others. I will take her again for sure! She is an easy grader as long as you do what she asks of you. If you are interested in ways to better your communications in every day life then take her! And she is totally fun/nutty!
Amazing teacher, wonderful, full of life! She really TEACHES you, that is her priority. You will leave feeling like a better person after taking her class. Do not leave Cabrillo without taking one of her classes.
She is the best teacher..i have her for group discussion. she is really funny and doesnt exspect much. just do 3 group papers which are not long at all and turn in your notes.EASY
Skye is the most fun teacher I've had. The main thing I like is that she is optimistic while retaining this witty, comical cynicism that we have as young people. Her classes are easy if you want it to be, but you'll want to go beyond the call of duty because she's so sweet. On top of that, her classes are interesting, and, well, she is SOOO HOT!
Super awesome class!
Skye is a great teacher! she is extremely nice, funny, out going & fun! She is very easy to follow & understand. The work load is very light & easy. She made listening fun! :]
You will never enjoy another teacher as much as you'll live her, it's impossible not to!! She's witty and smart and make class fun all the way through and doesnt make you buy any books and there is little homework I absolutely recommend her
Comm 12 with skye is amazing!
Gentile is one of the best teachers at Cabrillo! She's enthusiastic and funny, but knows her stuff. She's loud and witty, without being oppressive. HW is little to NONE (depends on the course) and no required textbooks. Class has a lot of laidback interaction, a lot of laughs, but you still learn some good stuff. RECOMMEND!
Super easy class. She makes it interesting for how useless the material seems. She seems more personable than most teachers.
This was a hard class - Group Discussion - but Skye was helpful, interesting and funny! I would take any of her classes as I know that they will be packed with good info that is very applicable. Also, don't be afraid to take a early morning class with her! She has so much energy and personality that there is no way you are going to dose off :)
Wow, so I had to have a COMM1 class and this had an opening. So glad I took it, I learned a lot, Skye helped me see what was needed to make a great speech through her attention and willingness to help. Great teacher, fantastic enthusiasm, energetic, beware it's catching!!! This is a teacher that CARES, and works to make you a capable speaker!!
skye was really funny, interesting, and fullll of energy that doesn't let you doze off for one second. intercultural comm was fairly easy and we talked about intersting subjects. at the end of the semester the whole class got to go to china town which was really fun
WOW! she is very enthusiastic! good things come in small packages! she is a teacher that loves her students and wants them to not only learn but understand interpersonal relationships, this class was very helpful, something you definitely use in life and makes your relationship with your love ones understandable and better!
I LOVE Skye!! She's amazing, and I highly recommend her for any class, especially Comm 12! She's very compassionate and this class takes you out of your comfort zone in order to really understand other cultures. She has plenty of work for you to do, but is very flexible about turn in dates as long as you're responsible. Take her class!!!
Skye is absolutely hands down one of the best teachers out there. She is smart, funny, down to earth, realistic, practical, fun, quick witted, the list goes on and on. If you have high speaking anxiety she is the teacher for you. Don't hesitate to take her class. I have never experienced another teacher like her and probably never will.
Skye is a wonderful lady with a lovable personality, but the class itself was nothing but her preaching her personal opinions. The upside is that the work is minimal, extremely easy and turn in dates are very flexible. Just show up and tell her what she wants to hear, and you're virtually guaranteed an A.
Skye is an enthusiastic teacher that will teach you great skills that are applicable to more then the class itself. Advice: Do your outlines early, prepare early for everything, have fun, and I promise you'll get an A. I failed Comm 1 twice before because of my anxiety, and Skye taught me how to be the best speaker I can be despite those setbacks.
I did NOT want to take a communications class. Skye totally changed my opinion of the subject. She makes class a blast and brings out the best in every student. This class turned out to be my favorite of the semester. I looked forward to going every week and learned so much.
She is very young and fun at heart. She knows how to get people to feel comfortable while speaking to the public. Fun class that gets you out of your comfort zone in a nice way. She grades relatively easy and doesn't judge you on your capabilities
Skye is the freaking best!
Class was awesome, very easy and straightforward. You got an A for showing up and doing all the work. Skye does push her more left winged views in the class which can be annoying if you're more of a conservative person, but it's college. Overall great lady and awesome class. Definitely recommend!
Skye is AMAZING
Skye is awesome.. one of my favorite instructors at Cabrillo. I had really bad public speaking anxiety, and skye gives great advice on how to overcome these feelings
I've taken two of Skye's classes and she is the best. One of those teachers that actually inspires you and cares about you. My favorite teacher at cabrillo.
She is the best teacher at Cabrillo hands down. She makes you enjoy speaking even if you fear it. She has opened my eyes to public speaking. Take it with her! you wont regret it!
AMAZING! Spunky and fun teacher. She literally changed my life, taught me to calm down and take perspective others. Even though I had different opinions on certain things she helped me to learn how to understand where people are coming from. She is the best teacher I have ever had at any level and I will always remember her. btw she is GORGEOUS!
This was one of the most important classes i took during my college education. It gave me life lessons that I use on a daily basis. She is an amazing, emotional, caring, dramatic, daring, and enthusiastic teacher.
AMAZING TEACHER! I was terrified going into this class because I have severe speech anxiety, but she helped me learn how to deal with it. She offers wonderful, helpful feedback. There are 3-5 speeches, a little homework, but an easy A if you participate. Take this class! I changed my major to communications because I loved this class so much.
I love Skye. She is great. Some people complain about her being late or missing class, well he husband has cancer so its to be expected. Skye wants people to participate because HELLO its a communications class. Skye is the definition of spunky. if you want to have fun take her class.
Skye is absolutely wonderful. She gives great lectures that are truly inspiring and easy to understand. Her energy rubs off on you as soon as you enter her class. You will not regret taking a single course that she teaches. She's very flexible with due dates, however my advice is to get the work turned in on time, or it really does pile up.
Skye is the best teacher on campus hands down. This is not only because she is so passionate about optimal learning flow & how we all can best get along, because she is fun, and keeps things moving (One day she dressed as prince, really!) along with lots of wonderful insights about how to make the most of ourselves & others. She even brings snacks.
Skye is very lively! She is never ever monotone, she is always cracking jokes. Her class was fun and she will help so much if you just ask. She provided a comfortable environment for everyone, public speaking is scary but if you take comm1, take it with her. There isn't too much hw and it's not hard at all I promise. Just keep up each week :)
I love Skye! She's so enthusiastic and full of energy when she teaches. I've had her as my professor for 3 different comm classes and I'm sad there are no more classes i can take with her. She's awesome and loving!
Sky is an amazing person and she cares about what is happening in the world. I was not expecting the material in this class to be so deep. I wanted to cry during almost every class. I came out of this class with new understanding and prospective about peoples differences. Sky keeps you on your toes and you enjoy her class.
Her intercultural communications class will make you think and feel deeply. She's energetic, but still organized. She designs courses very thoughtfully. She doesn't shy away from controversial subjects, but still teaches with balanced facts. I learned more from her than most of my UC Professors. She's certainly one of the best teachers at cabrillo.
She is one of my favorite teacher at Cabrillo. She is so enthusiastic and her lectures are not boring at all. She shows how to do outline of speeches well so you know what to do. Her classes are open minded atmosphere and I did not feel any fear to give speeches even though it was my first communication class.
She is one of my favorite professors at Cabrillo. She is enthusiastic and funny. She knows how to teach and how to help us learn. I was nervous taking public speaking class, but I ended up liking it thanks to Skye!
I in general like this professor, but her Intercultural Communications class is definitely one to pass on. It pretty much the same bs the media has been dragging through our brains ever since I can remember. (Whites are privileged, minoritys are oppressed, etc....) She even uses buzzfeed as a source for a couple of lectures.
She needs to be more professional, she can be unkind to students. She also complains about the farmers market on Saturdays.
For anyone that does not think she is a great teacher and is rude, has their panties in a bunch! She makes things FUN and RELATABLE I was terrified of public speaking, I can not say I'm great at it now but I learned how to construct a speech and actually give one. She is a wonderful teacher and is there for her students. TAKE HER CLASSES
Skye is great! Her Interpersonal Comm class is very informal and interactive, so come to class with an open mind and get ready to make friends with your fellow students. You choose your own readings and activities, and there is no regular homework, except for two portfolios and a group presentation. It's an easy class if you plan your time well.
Horrible professor. Just preaches to you. Doesnt take differing opinions well at all. Good for an easy A, but if youre looking to gain valuable knowledge, definitely pass on this professor.
she is the most amazing instructor. so inspirational and her personality illuminates any room she steps on. Such an honor to be in her class. Cabrillo is so lucky to have her.
Skye is absolute GOAT. She is an amazing person, and an even better professor. I had her for Comm1 Public Speaking, and Comm4 Group Discussion. Our classes ended up getting moved online mid-way through the semester because of COVID-19 pandemic. She is super understanding with everything as long as you're honest with her. Would definitely take again
Incredibly disorganized, though admittedly that might have been due to the pandemic. Mostly I find her excessive exuberance and personality makes it difficult to take her seriously or listen to her speak at all. That being said, she seems like a genuinely good person who cares about her students, even if I have been very unimpressed with her class.
Ms. Gentile was very enthusiastic and was a very fun teacher. The assignments were extremely easy to complete and graded easily. Oftentimes due dates did not matter at all as long as assignments were turned in. In canvas, it was fairly confusing to find what assignments were due and what we had to do. Not very organized but she is very flexible.
This class had to be one of my favorite classes thus far! Skye was so fun and understanding and was great about not making things too overwhelming. She also has a pretty free schedule to talk with and help you if you need it. Most of the homework is chapter outlining, so take the time to do these assignments because they are easy points.
I loved her class and she made public speaking feel so comfortable. She did a great job building a supportive class atmosphere and people's speeches were super interesting, which made the class fun. I also learned so much about how important good outlines are that I've used in every class I've taken since.
Sky has been one of the best professors I've had at Cabrillo they teach in such a fun way that really helps their students want to participate! They make speeches not intimidating at all and I learned a lot definitely would take again!!
Prof. Skye is so chill and they really care about their students. There is a textbook requirement and you will use it but I got mine online. It's a really fun class and Skye's personality makes it so that you feel comfortable speaking in their class. 10/10 definitely take any Comm class with them.
Skye is a fantastic instructor that cares about their students.
Very understanding and just wants you to learn. She is the nicest and most fun teacher I have ever had! :)
Such a fun, energetic, and thoughtful professor. I am very comfortable with public speaking but they did their best to make it as accessible to all skill levels as possible. Even I was able to learn a lot of new communication and rhetorical tactics. A great and easy class for any one to take, whether you have social anxiety or love public speaking
Professor Skye made you want to attend her zoom meetings due to how devoted she was to teaching. Her lessons were very fun to follow along. You do have to annotate chapters form the textbook but they are really easy to do. 15 mins tops to complete each. You will not regret taking a class with her!! She is also very understanding and will workwith u
It is not even funny how easy this class is. Professor Gentile makes comm1 a simple, easy, and streamlined class and is an easy 3 credits. Highly recommend taking this class if you want basically free credits.
Professor Skye was an Amazing professor. Get ready to have lots of laughs, make friends, and even make some memories. Also very flexible with assignments.
Skye was super east and fun. You do need the textbook, but you can find it for rent or online pdf. Really kind and understanding. Go to class because she does some in class activities that you can't make up. Speeches are really easy and usually fun. She is always there to help you if you need it!
Skye is absolutely phenomenal! This class is such an easy A, I mean that is assuming you show up to class, participate in speeches and complete the homework which really doesn't take more than 1-2 hours each week. She is extremely compassionate towards her students as well as VERY energetic, but she knows what she's doing. 1000/10
Greatest college professor on planet earth! An absolute gem of a soul. Sweet and caring yet firm and tenacious.
Skye is such a hilarious and quirky person! Skye has so much energy and is really caring. Her class actually made me change my major to communications. I always hated talking in front of people, but somehow in her class I looked forward to presenting. Skye is also easy to reach out to and responds alarmingly fast to messages, so take her class!
Very caring and accommodating! I took another comm class just to have her again!
Skye is such a funny person, she's kind and she's gentle. Her class wasn't hard at all which was better for me. The class consisted of presenting speeches to better your communication skills but it wasn't bad at all. She is also very understanding and will help you if you need help. I recommend taking her!
Great Professor, Skye is super animated and will keep you entertained!
Most energetic professor I've ever had lol. I was never good at going up in front of people but Skye makes anything doable. She creates such a loving environment and I would take this class 100 more times.
She is amazing! This is the second time I took COMM1 (had a different professor before and he was terrible) anyways she makes it fun and so easy! She cares about her students and makes sure you are comfortable. No judgment! Love her!!
Very nice teacher. I took this class over the summer online and it was pretty easy. We had weekly assignments that were related to textbook ready but they were very simple. We recorded ourselves doing different speeches and those were very short and very easy as well.
Skye is a wonderful teacher who cares about all of their students. They are super understanding and help you improve your writing, presentation skills, outlining, etc. I will always recommend Skye to anyone taking a communications course. They offer extra credit and are very accessible outside of your class hours. I loved this class!
Prof. Sky was my favorite teacher this semester. You could tell there was a huge effort on her part to make the classroom a safe, exciting place to learn. Had one textbook, homework included speech outlines and study guides on the book. Manageable amount of work. Treat her with respect and kindness, she will give you the same 10/10 would recommend.
Professor Skye is an energetic, caring, and flexible instructor who makes public speaking fun. Her class is a breeze with minimal work - try unstuck study for easy prep!
I took this class online which is DEFINITELY the move. Get ready to handwrite all of your notes, they only accepted handwritten notes which was weird but chill. Other than that the only thing graded was a speech every couple weeks. Extremely easy A.
