Professor Bennett gives out many speeches and outlines, which is to be expected. Her grading techniques, however, are unclear and unfair. She will deduct points off of your paper or speech and oftentimes not tell you why. I do not recommend taking this class.

Not the best choice for effective speaking. She does not teach you how to write and deliver speeches, but expects you to learn. Very tough grader. Will take points off often. Attendance is key, although not much Is done in class. Don't miss a speech day, even if its a family emergency she will not care and give 0 for the speech. Some extra credit.

If you want to be sane by the end of the semester, avoid this professor. Why? Her biggest assignment (30% of the grade) is a paper on a topic that is NOT covered in class, and is meant to be done in a format that she does NOT teach. Other than that, she gives inconsistent grades. My grades gone from an A to a C despite her saying Im doing better.

30% of the grade in her class is for something that you have to teach yourself. My question is, if I have to be the student AND the teacher, whats the point of taking the class then? Its one thing to make an assignment based on something we havent read, but the fact that 30% of my grade is for something that WASNT taught is very annoying.

The online quizzes are easy, but the speeches are a hassle. Most of the time, you need 4-6 people in the "audience." She will also make assignments due on a Sunday but expects you to post by Thursday or Friday and will take off 10-20 points depending on the assignment. She gives good advice but can be a harsh grader if you don't try.

I was able to increase my confidence in the class and that was something that was important to me. Ms Bennett provided me feedback that helped me think about ways to improve and I am glad we were able to pick topics that we were interested in. Good speech examples helped me work on the speeches for the class.

Class helped with my fear of speaking. We had good activities and examples. I liked that we could pick our own topics and I liked working with my classmates on preparing my speeches. Bennett gave me good feedback and the speeches overall were not that bad to write.

She is very respectable and understanding. She is willing to help out any student who may need it. You just need to ask her.

Great professor for COM110. Her personality keeps the class engaging, she breaks the grades up evenly so that you can still pass, even if you fear public speaking. She even helps ease any tension that people might have coming into this. Very understanding if you are having issues, just be upfront with her. She shows respect to the students.

Gives plenty of oppurtunities to get comfortable with public speaking, and is really good at giving critique's to speeches. Really gets the students involved with talking with and in front of each other as well, which makes it more comfortable to give speeches. The quizzes are very annoying, but the soeech eveluations are interesting.

I took this class over the summer and thought it was structured well in the 6 weeks that we had to complete the work. Bennett gave me great feedback on my speeches so that I could learn more about how to become a better speaker. I enjoyed the class and the workload was not bad for a fast paced summer course. I learned a lot.

This class was an easy A. There were only 3 speeches, quizzes for each chapter, and a few discussion boards. For the speeches you need to film yourself using VidGrid and have an audience. You do have to put the work in for a good grade but Prof Bennett is very helpful. Also keep the speech topics on the simpler side.

She is a tough grader, her feedback doesn't make any sense, no communication, doesn't reply, doesn't make her students developed or improved in any aspect. You never know what is looking for, and this has a negative impact on students as well who don't know by default what she clearly needs from them.

Professor Bennett is one of the best instructors I've had in college. She's organized, cares about her students, and makes public speaking way less intimidating. Her feedback is detailed and actually helps you improve. If you stay committed and complete the weekly modules, you'll learn more than you expect. I recommend her class it wasn't hard.
