She is a great professor who will go out of her way to help any student who comes to her office. She makes class lectures fun and interesting. She gives clear guidelines for assignments and has reasonable expectations. Her only downside is that she is somewhat slow on returning assigments.

The quizes and tests are not bad, and very based on the reading and lectures. Not very consistent with the grading on the speeches. She seems unorganized at times so make sure you keep track of all of your grades in cases she loses one (happened to me).

Stephanie is a nice woman and the tests are fine if you read the book. She always had helpful insight and assignments. Fun activities to do that helped you overcome stagefright. A bit letter of the law though.

Stephanie is awesome! She really helped me tons! Shes always insightful, and so kind.

She is very nice. The class was actually interesting to me. Most of the concepts covered are commom sense. All in all, it's a fun class.

very upbeat. almost TOO upbeat at times. :o) but overall a fun class... very helpful professor.

do not take this class if you expect to really learn anything from it...the concepts she teaches are all common sense. in addition, she is very picky about specifics on presentations and assignments.

I loved Stephanie! She made the task of public speaking easy and enjoyable. She seemed to enjoy teaching and being with her students. Overall a fun and interesting class!

goo dteacher overall, friendly, was able to help soften the blow of doing speeches in front of people.

Stephanie Rocks

wonderful teacher! eased the stress of giving speeches! easy quizzes/exams - don't need the text book - just go to class. its a nice break from other tough classes!

this is a simple 111 class, and she makes it easy. she is a very fair professor, and the workload is alright and she makes it easier for us in our speaches by easing the tensity. she is a great professor, and I do recomend her.

quizzes were ok if you paid attention in class, and she graded speeches kinda hard, but not terrible. Id recommend her

I think Stephanie is a great professor! She is more than willing to go out of her way to help you when you ask for it. I really enjoyed taking this class with her, she's not intimidating and gives you an encouraging smile when you know you messed up during a speech. I highly recommend her. The tests & quizzes are fairly easy if you pay attention.

Super nice lady. Very passionate about the subject. Extremely happy all the time. Easy to get a hold of if you need help.

The tests are pretty hard and so are the quizzes but I think she's a pretty easy grader on speeches. She's ok, can be kind of mean sometimes. If you're good at tests but not speeches, take this class, but if you suck at tests and are good at speeches, don't.

Hard test and quizzes. If you read the textbook you should be fine. Pretty easy grader on speeches. DO NOT read a speech, practice days before your speech date.

She was nice, but does grade hard. Test and quizzes are fairly hard as well and require some material from the textbook. But, if you go to class,take notes, and pay attention there is no doubt you will at least pass.

Easy to understand, concise (It's a speech class, after all). Tough grader, quizzes are difficult and she is a picky grader when it comes to performing your speech. I don't know what everyone else is talking about, means EXACTLY what she says and will grade you accordingly. If you pay attention and read D2L on each assignment you'll be fine.

I took her class over interim. Really nice and very approachable with questions or issues regarding assignments, etc. She is a tough grader though, and took points off my speech for things that I'd done in the speech, so I wasn't sure if she was paying attention...overall though, great professor!

Stephanie is a great teacher!!! She is great at explaining what she's looking for in a speech. Her tests are kind of difficult, but if you go to class every day and take notes, you should be fine. Great pick!!

As an interim, there's a lot of classwork to be done in a short period of time (Constantly working on more than one speech at a time.) Quizzes aren't too hard, mostly common sense. She's a really tough grader, though. She grades as if it's an upper level course, and takes points off for the tiniest, pickiest things. Wouldn't take her again.

I really liked her as a professor. Not my favorite, but not bad either. She does grade hard on your speeches, especially on your outlines, but I think it's pretty fair grading overall. Gives LOTS of opportunity for extra credit. Seems to like what she's teaching and quick responses to any questions I had. I would take her again.

This professor is VERY opinionated. Make sure you stay on her good side and attend lecture! Study notes daily because her quizzes/exams are tough..

Very very tough grader. She's really nice if you get on her good side and show up to class! She gets really upset if you skip, but my outlines were torn to pieces. Her class was the only thing that stood between me and a 4.0 by .1.

She is a very nice teacher but grades way to hard on speeches and outlines. Test and quizzes are straight from book and are utterly useless.

Stephanie is a good speech teacher. She doesn't give a lot of direction for speeches, and grades outlines hard but otherwise the class isn't too bad. Make sure to study for the quizzes and exams and you'll be fine.

One of my favorite teachers that I've ever had I highly recommend her and I am making sure that I have her again for Speach. Her papers are a breeze but her quizzes are stupid. Exams are easy, quizzes are stupid. Collectively, it is easy if you study up, but Rolain-Jacobs is there for you and she is maaaa gurrrrl. Take her.

She is a very nice and understanding woman. Her teaching style is both clear and engaging, and content is easy to understand. I hardly ever took notes or read the book, and I still rocked this class. Tests were simple, and essays were not that hard. She gave extra credit and is just overall an awesome teacher. It was very easy to do well with her

She is very nice

I took this as a quest class and would definitely take again. Lectures were interesting, and all quizzes were open book. We did write a couple papers but they weren't terribly long. My one dislike was the group project that was worth a lot of your grade.

This is an amazing professor who really cares about her students. Your graded by a lot of exams, a group project and papers so if you mess up on a big project or paper you can still earn an A.

Stephanie was one of the best professors I have had. She is funny and personable in class and cares about teaching. It can be tough and a lot of work, but she gives out the grades you deserve based on rubrics.

Stephanie is my favorite professor so far throughout my college experience. She is very nice to everybody and very helpful on assignments. Stephanie organized an optional outside of class study session for our midterm exam and brought pizza for everybody which was very nice. She is always very clear when you ask her about your assignments.

Great teacher who is very respectful and caring of her students. It is very hard to earn a perfect grade on written assignments but is forgiving if your work is subpar. Some class activities seemed to drag on much longer than they should have as well. Take study guides for the tests seriously and ask questions if you have them. Great teacher!

I took this class during the interim and it was fast-paced with speeches every week. Stephanie made herself available to students on the weekends. There were a lot of activities and "things" due every night but it was interim. The quizzes and exams were easy and the answers were right in the book. The exams were open book and notes.
