Professor Smith was a great teacher, her guidelines and standards were clear. The class was fun and engaging, she respected and understood students needs. To me the class was easy only because I like to give speeches and writing them. It wasn't the hardest class I have ever took but challenged me to stay on edge. You will enjoy this class.

Professor Smith is really good at what she teaches. This course was a little rough because there were some technical issues. However, I feel that she gave excellent feedback on my presentations and overall helped me become better. Expect 4-5 presentations ranging from 2 to 5 minutes long and a group project that will be the capstone project.

She is really a diligent professor. She taught students a lot to build up their careers and was very advising for us. Most of the class is doing 3 personal presentations and a final group presentation at the end. This class will have a presentation every week so if you prepare a presentation before your day, you will get a grade easily.

If you want a professor who explains very specifically and knows the specific rubric, then I wouldn't recommend this course. She is a very friendly and good person, but her explanation about each presentation that you will do if you take this course, it's super confess. Even all my team members didn't know what we should do for the presentation.

I kind of agree with the below comment. She is a very friendly and kind person, but it was very confusing for each individual and group presentation. She wants us to memorize the whole content of the presentation with very small words on each slide. Having a different presentation every week was very pressure for me.

Her assignments were a bit vague at times and she didn't have any example presentations to base from so it was kind of difficult to know what to do if you were the first presenter. However, her requirements for presentations were usually 3-5 minutes which is actually pretty good for someone like me who gets massive anxiety when presenting.

She is very energetic and clearly passionate about what she is teaching. She refers to the textbook in class but you are expected to read it outside of class which it is an easy read. She is more focused on the presentations. My advice, ask her all the questions in class so you can get the answers you need, she's not the fastest responder on email.

Professor Smith is a great professor and helps you become a better presenter. The hardest part of the class is that the way she does it is by making you jump right in. The first few weeks were hard because I felt like I had no idea what I was doing and didn't receive a lot of instructions. The feedback you get though is what matters!

I liked learning from her and coming to class. But she was a very harsh grader and I felt that she would grade me down more than others. Some students would struggle and have issues while presenting and she's supposed to grade down for that. But when we'd all get our grades back those students scored higher than me and I was shocked every time.

She was great and fun to learn from. She moves pretty quickly and is a very harsh grader. I would often feel like she graded my projects and assignments harder than others.
