Wargo is awsome!! If you show her your speech outline before your speech day, she will tell you exactly what needs to be changed to get an A. You can't miss a speech day (approx 16 speech days) short days because you get to leave when the speeches are done, 10% of your grade is based on showing up on other people's speech days to fill out a friend

Professor Wargo was great! Really enjoyed her class. The textbook doesn't count for a grade (it's online), but it can help you understand the criteria for the speeches more. As long as you follow her instructions and grading criteria, you should have no problem with her class. I had a lot of fun. If there's EC available, take advantage of it.

Professor Wargo makes her class super relatable and feel fun! Attendance is mandatory on speech days, but if you miss lecture shes posts it all and lecture days are really short anyways so its not a lot to catch up on.
