She is an awesome teacher. She explains things thoroughly and makes the class interesting and fun. This class is definitely an easy A, of course only if you put effort into it. I highly reccomend her. You only do one speech for the semester which is great for the peole with public speaking phobia.

This professor is serious about the subject but presents it in a relaxed manner. Extremely flexible with deadlines (almost to a fault) but don't push it.

She's really funny and makes the class a comfortable setting to be in, especially when having to make the final (and only) speech. She's a stickler for grammar and probably cares more for that than the content of your work. Her lectures consist of powerpoint presentations straight out of the book so it's only needed during class activities.

She is very clear at the beginning of the class. The 3 essays and the 5 min. speech are required to pass the class. If you miss doing them she will fail you. The class is easy. Take the Quiz as many times as you want. She's not fussy grading the essays but don't miss a deadline because she will not let you make it up. Easy A if you follow the rules
