She really didn't help me much. She is very hard to argue with and it seems as if it is her way always. I struggled a lot in her class.

She is very clear in what she wants. follow the rubric and you will succeed. She makes you write 2 papers using vocab words and such and speech topics are pretty generic and can be made fun. Overall good experience in her class but like mentioned before you have to attend every class--no option otherwise

She is a very good teacher!! I don't know what everyone else is talking about! She makes you do four speeches and two papers but she is an easy grader! She also has quizzes every week but there really easy if you just pay attention in class! Take her!

Tammy is friendly, nice and helpful. She's a very fair teacher and is easy going.

Really friendly and has good class discussions. There were 4 quizzes, with half online half in class, and 4 pop quizzes that were open-note based on chapters assigned. Most points come from speeches but I feel that she grades those pretty fairly. Overall, good teacher to take.

Takes A LOT of examples from students. Hearing personal stories from 6+ classmates every time she opens up to discussion is WAY too much. After two examples, we get the point. Move on. Most of the class is all discussion, and she doesn't cover everything in the text. I never did any reading, but I scored 30/40 on all tests. Easy enough.

I had her for persuasion. Best teacher Ive ever had, I am incredibly lazy and I put in effort and am getting a B+. If you try decently hard and study for her exams easy A.

I had her for conflict resolution. Amazing teacher and person. She makes it so easy to learn the information. Wonderful lady, take her class!

Tammy is a great teacher! Her lectures are always very interesting but she expects the class to participate. Speeches aren't too bad although she does grade a little tough for a 100 level class. As long as you are prepared for her pop quizzes (you can use notes) it's an easy class. You will utilize everything learned for the rest of your life!

Nice lady, typically respects her students. Sometimes she seems too uptight... on a positive note, you never have to attend her classes and late work is accepted until the end of semester!

Nice teacher but she cares WAYY too much about typos. I got half off an assignment because of typos/ incorrect comma use. assignments arent hard nor long but shes too tough of a grader

She's an overly harsh grader, which is really something you don't want in a speech class. The reading quizzes force you to read a little bit.

Tammy is fairly tough to rate. She's a nice person and a good teacher, but she grades very harshly. I think she thinks harsh grading helps us, but I think her large ego has something to do with it too because if something isn't done exactly her way, she won't grade very highly. Don't take her if you want an easy A.

Very specific with what she wants & if you do not follow the specifics you will not get a good grade. HUGE group project, spans over a couple months- you do not pick your group. Tests are difficult and come directly from the book & lecture. She does not use powerpoint/visuals. Strictly verbal lecture.

Tammy is one of the best professors I have had at Whitewater. I took her listening behavior class and I would recommend it to anyone who needs any extra class. She makes the class and lectures very interesting and you learn a lot. She allow you to miss up to four classes but I wouldn't because everything that is on the test she talks about in class

She taught big lectures every couple weeks, but we were mostly split into sections of 30ish students and taught by GIAs. Attendance is mandatory, mainly because there's short daily presentations. Super easy, even if you're awful at public speaking, if you show up and participate, and do the very few homework assignments, you'll pass no problem.

The class is taught in a huge lecture hall but splits up into 'labs' which are taught by GIA's. Four speeches total and five quizzes. Speeches are easy if you follow the requirements. Attendance mandatory, with allowed three skips. Quizzes are difficult but I found them on quizlet. Put in some effort and it's not hard.

I had Professor French for Speech 110 and she was great. We had a big group for the lecture component, but then we were in smaller groups for speech work. I would definitely recommend her.

I think that Tammy French was a pretty good prof and I liked how she was really clear about what we needed to do for our speeches. There's a group project, but you get a couple of months to complete it. I would recommend this prof and I was glad that I chose her for one of my first freshman classes.

The class is taught in a lecture hall but splits up into smaller labs of about 25 kids, which are taught by GIA's, for your speeches. There are 4 speeches and 5 quizzes. The speeches are easy and everything is laid out for you through an outline. Attendance is mandatory, with three skips allowed. Quizzes are confusing but all answers are online.

Tammy is super chill. Just show up, take notes and you'll be fine! She's a great professor :)

Professor French is a great professor! The class consists of a few papers, incliding a research paper, some activities and exams. Overall, easy class.

I found her to be a very easy grader. Her paper's length requirement is short, so she doesn't promote adding a bunch of fluff. You are simply allowed to write content that is important and move on. She is a fair grader as long as you demonstrate you know the material. She is a stickler with grading policy, regardless of circumstances, so be warned

Class is mostly taught by GIA's (Graduate Instructors) except for Friday lectures that are taught by Tammy. 3 speeches that you have to give for the semester and you get to use some notecards for 2 of the 3. Final exam is the only test, the rest are quizzes that are online. Interesting class but not the best class I've taken.

This class really depends on if you get a good GIA or not! You rarely every see professor French but when you do its lectures and her quizzes are hard

Not a lot of interactions with Prof. French. Class is roughly 100 students split into 5 sections taught by Graduate assistants. But, I missed 3 weeks of class due to a mono virus and she was very understanding and able to accommodate to my situation. The class isnt very difficult. Only 3 speeches, a handful of easy quizzes and an easy final.

A lot of you guys hate speech class and the fact that it's mandatory, but this professor is a good choice. Classes are divided into sections taught by graduate assistants, but Tammy makes sure that they know what they are doing and can give good assistance when needed. The speeches aren't that bad, besides going up and presenting. Easy-ish grader.

Very lecture heavy, but she explains things really well. The notes are easy to understand. You have a paper each unit, but they aren't anything bad. Easy to reach through email if you have any questions. I recommend taking her class if you can

Tammy French is a very caring and energetic professor. The class itself is lecture heavy and attendance matters! She explains each concept clearly and carefully. I highly recommend. She made my public speaking class bearable!

She's honestly not a hard grader. She expects what she should from students. No late homework, and come to class. She clearly explains her lectures, which she gives a lot, but they're not boring. I didn't have a GIA so she taught my class, so I got to know her better.

Prof. French's upbeat attitude and passion for communications made me look forward to going to class. Gives solid feedback on speeches.

I never had an issue with Tammy and she was also my GIA. I got really sick two different times during the semester and she was extremely understanding. Easiest A out of all of my classes. Didnt study for the final and came out with an A on it. Just pay attention and do your homework

I had a good TA so I did well in Comm 110. Attendance matters (u might as well show up since ur paying for this class anyways) As long as you do the speech outlines well and rehearse a little for your speeches you will get an A. There are a few online quizzes and extra credit opportunities. This class truly isnt as bad as its put out to be.

Yes, she does have GIA's teach her classes, but I always thought her Friday lectures were great. I'm not sure why she has such a poor rating. You do need to read your textbook. The quizzes are straight from the book, but they are online, so you can use your notes and textbook. Attendance is definitely mandatory.

Quizzes are difficult, but based upon the textbook. Exams seemed fair for the material covered. This class moves quickly in terms of writing the speeches. Prof. French can come off as condescending sometimes, but explains things well in lecture. Attendance is graded

She is sweetheart of a professor. Inspired me to be an adult. Do your work, show up for class and you will do well.

People who don't like her just don't like to show up to class

I genuinely do not understand why other people hate Tammy so much. She has been nothing but kind to me and is always easy to talk to. She is passionate about what she teaches and wants you to succeed. Sure attendance is mandatory and you have to do your work but crazy thought: college is work!!!

Tammy is genuinely a sweet professor. She was always kind to me. She is just very passionate about public speaking. As long as you do the work and attend class you will pass, it is not difficult.

Tammy has her GIAs do all the work for her. The most difficult part of class was showing up. While she is strict with attendance, the class was not bad and fairly easy. One of the GIAs can be a real pain in the a** but other than that the class was way better than I expected it to go.

I loved Tammy's class, I think the reason most people hated it was because attendance is mandatory and because her GIA students do a lot of the work, but keep in mind she has over 200 students a semester. This class is mandatory which makes her need GIA's help. This class helped me gain confidence in public speaking and Tammy is highly respected.

The negative comments about her are from poor scholars. Her lectures are very good and it's a super easy class even if you put almost no effort into it. My GIA was Bhoke and he was excellent and inspiring. I can now say I am good at public speaking/presenting thanks to Bhoke and prof. French.

I don't know why every hates on Tammy. She expects you to come to class and doesn't really accept late work, but who cares. Just do what you are supposed to and this class is fun and easy, and you know what she expects from you. I honestly really liked her because I never had to second guess what I was supposed to do.

I enjoyed Tammy's class and genuinely learned a lot! This class made me a better speaker. Tammy's nice, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. Lectures are relevant to exams. You can miss 2 classes. Late work isn't accepted. I liked that policy because that's the expectation of the real world. If you're a good student, you'll like this class!

Tammy's COMM110 class can be a challenge, but with consistent effort and engagement, you can find success. The mandatory attendance and quizzes can be tough, but the speeches aren't too bad. I found Unstuck study helpful for quiz prep.

Everyone who dislikes Tammy is simply not a good student. Tammy is EXTREMELY clear about expectations and deadlines and is more than willing to help if confused (she video chatted meeting with me at 8 PM just to clear of my confusion). She is so knowledgeable, so caring, and so willing to give feedback. She has VERY high, but clear expectations.

Tammy is a great professor. She is caring, enthusiastic, and gets to know all of her students by name. Just show up and participate, and you will do just fine. If I weren't graduating this year, I would totally take her again. The people who don't like her are likely slackers and aren't used to be held to higher standards.

Professor French does a great job laying out exactly what she expects on assignments. Easy to get high marks if you just follow the rubric. Class is mandatory and you'll want to be there. Speech assignments are big but your given plenty of time to get them done. She's certainly one of the best professors in the Comm dept.

She is not great for COMM 110 but is one of the best professors I have ever had for upper level Comm courses. She lays everything out and is so organized, and gives you note sheets to fill out. Show up to class and you will have no problem. She cares about her students, but will not baby them. She also gives great opportunities. Would recommend!
