Good instructor. Class is not was easy if you kept up with work.
Took her in 8-week course online and it's not really that hard if you keep up on the work in a timely manner but it was a bit time consuming. She was really helpful and approachable. Just make sure you REread and understand the book; her tests are very straightforward from the book. I made an A and I'm sure you can too.I highly recommend her!
Super easy A. If you do the work, you will get credit. Lots of reading though.
She's very helpful and understanding! Everyone should take her!
She was very helpful and understanding. She grades somewhat hard though, so make sure you do your work.
She's super nice, very helpful, though you have to read to understand her lectures. Sometimes will throw questions in tests that you'll get right if you've read. There is group work which helps you better understand sometimes. Other than that I'd take her again!
Lots of work, but fun class.
Great teacher. Would definitely recommend.
she was a great teacher and was very informative.
Great teacher!
She is a good teacher
Really great professor all around. She is very helpful and is very easy to work with. I really enjoyed her class and would take another class of her's if possible. She is very down to earth and is very nice. Definitely a wonderful professor.
Mrs Coy is definitely one of the better professors i have had.
The class is easy but only if you pay attention, take notes, and read the book. The teacher is very out going always smiling or seems like it. She is helpful so if any questions be sure to ask her. There maybe pop quizzes but don't be too worry and the work isn't complicated. Try to enjoy the class as much as possible and shares laughs and smiles.
Awesome teacher!! Definitely recommend this class for your mandatory speech credit.
Take this class if you hate speaking in public! I am very shy, but Professor Coy helped me and the other students overcome our fear of public speaking--believe it or not. She will work with you!
This was a really helpful class, i definitely learned a lot, thanks Mrs. Coy
This was a fun class. Mrs. Coy makes thus class very entertaining.
Twyla is a wonderful professor and is extremely helpful. She wants her students to learn and succeed. If you have any questions or concerns about the class she is very helpful. I learned a lot in this class.
I adore Professor Coy! I would recommend this class to people who are both shy and outgoing. She is very understanding and patience and she grades according to the students growth. If you do your best you will have no problem getting an A in this class.
Always helpful, cheerful, and available to answer any questions. Great professor; it was a pleasure being in her class.
She is very patient and gives good feedback. She helps people who need it and makes the class fun with games and activities this was my favorite class!
Shes cool
Mrs coy is really nice and really sweet
She was a really fun teacher that taught us what we need to know in life.
Mrs. Coy is a fun and exciting teacher that has a easy (doesn't just give 100s) and fun class. She is super helpful and is THE BEST teacher I have ever had!
She is fun and gave us feedback on our speeches. She gave us warnings and preparation time with quizzes and test.
She is a great teacher that I enjoyed a lot.
The book is a must because without it get tests are a bit tricky, some is common sense most isn't.
She is awesome ! Funny and explains thing very well. Wish she could teach all my classes! Uses songs to help you learn and remember. She is very understanding and cares for her students .
Great professor, I wish I could take her again.
You learn many things and she gives you great feedback on your speech. If you want to pass you have to try it's not a blow off class.
Professor Coy was extremely helpful and always cheerful during class time
She's a wonderful teacher and you can easily pass her class if you pay attention and come to class
You truly are a spectacular human, who has helped me improve in school.
Lectures can be long but you must listen to them in order to pass
Kind, caring and understanding along with being a great instructor
She is very nice and childish yet professional at the same time very clear when she lectures best teacher EVER
Great class but you have to read a lot in order to pass.
Shes a really great teacher but be prepared to work! Lectures and notes are expected.
She is is usually there to help you, she is a inspirational teacher, and it's always best to turn your papers on time to her or earlier.
She's always a happy person and a more unsderstanding professor. She will try to help as much as she possibly can for you to pass the class, but you have to put in the effort.
Shes a really great teacher but be prepared to work! Lectures and notes are expected. Remember to always study for test!
She is a great teacher who expects great things from her student and is always there to help when it is needed. She gives great examples to help remember things in her class. She's always happy and inspirational in her class.
Just speak, you'll get a better grade than just sitting around.
Fun teacher but there is a lot of work....
She's a really good teacher but you have to pay attention and be respectful.
Mrs. Coy is absolutely amazing. She's always willing to help and will always allow you to make up work if you have a good reason. She's the sweetest soul. I love her so much.
Great teacher! She gives you a lot of work but in the long run it is to better you in the future.
She's so nice & is always willing to help. She's great!
Great teacher. Helps a lot.
Good teacher
Gimme class not much worm just do articles and speeches well you'll pass
Mrs. Coy was awesome. You can tell she genuinely cares about her students and as long as you're there to pay attention and pass she'll help you get there.
She is very much a mother hen in that she expects all her chicks in a line but makes sure she does all she can to help you stay in line... does that make sense?
Twyla Coy is an amazing professor. She gives you the grade you deserve and also helps you and does one on one talks if you have any questions and concerns about the class. I enjoy the group projects and her tests and quiz are easy if you study. Make sure to buy the textbook. You'll need it. She makes learning super fun.
This class is very easy, there is a quiz after every chapter. The quiz is made harder than the actual test and she does that on purpose so she's able to prepare you and for you to study what is needed. This class is very easy and very clear about grading.
Wonderful class! You can be absent a couple times but attendance is graded. Very fun atmosphere. Wonderful class.
Professor Coy is passionate about teaching and and makes sure her students understand the context. She is caring and respectful! I wish she could teach all of my classes!
Professor Coy is awesome!!!! She makes the class to be super fun! Test are pretty hard but she gives you quizzes to help you and extra credit. She doesn't give you unnecessary work and tries to find ways to help you remember the lectures. She is pretty cool!!
A really understanding teacher...
SHE IS SUPER AWESOME!!! THE SWEETEST TEACHER, VERY CARING, GIVES CANDY ALL THE TIME, AND IS SO FUNNY!!! SHE WAS THE REASON I CAME TO CLASS AT 8 AM!!! OFFERS EXTRA CREDIT, TONS OF GROUP ACTIVITIES AND MAKES THE WORK VERY EASY. TESTS CAN BE A BIT TOUGH BUT IF YOU STUDY YOU SHOULD BE FINE. TAKE PROFESSOR COY FOR A GREAT SEMESTER!!! I LOVE HER :) 3
Professor Coy does do A LOT of group assignments but they are all 100% useful and helpful! She also does a lot of quizzes but as long as you pay attention (meaning you don't even need to read) you should do good. She also very understanding and will work with you if you are having trouble turning in work or speeches.
Professor Coy is a professor that I dread when sitting in class. There was a lot of group activities and a few simple group projects. Overall, she is such a sweet person and attempts to get everyone involved. She tries to make each class different and fun which makes a student appreciate her classes more.
great teacher, make sure you have the book required.
Prof. Coy is excellent, caring, and understanding. She moves fast, covering a lot of information, sometimes a challenge with all the terms and vocabulary. Still one of the best instructors, would definitely take her again.
Prof. Coy is very caring and understanding. Her projects and papers are easy and her exams and quizzes are harder. Sometimes she seems like she is teaching a middle school class, as she will play silly videos relating to the subject. She clearly cares for everyone in class and is very supportive. Her whole class is very vocabulary heavy.
Professor Coy is an amazing, sweet speech teacher!!! Make sure to get the textbook b/c you WILL read for the upcoming quizzes she'll let you know about.
I'm always alert in her class and I'm ADHD. It's a fun class and she knows how to make it not boring
Realy great teacher! just get ready to read the course book and do a lot of group work and participate too. overall, great teacher, you can be late and she really won't say nothing.
Read your book and you will for sure pass this class. The teacher is fair in teaching you but she expects a lot from you! She the meet me half way teacher. But she is a joy and likes to get to know her students! Read your book and you will pass this class like nothing!!
Good teacher kind of a blow off class
You have to put effort into this class, but so worth it. She actually CARES about you and your grades. If you give it your all, she will give it her all to make sure you succeed. You need to read your textbook, and get ready to really get to know your class and enjoy your semester. Take her!
Really great teacher ! Attendance is mandatory and you actually have to read textbook.
Professor Coy is great. She is kind, pleasant, patient and helpful. Her classes are fun and informative. Now of course, the material taught is a bit iffy sometimes, but with a subject like Communication, that's the name of the game. If you are looking for a Communication professor in Kingwood, this is the class to take!
Professor Coy is an awesome! She's organized. She makes sure all topics are filled in class. Her lectures are concrete and to the point. Makes the class interesting not boring! You do need your book for this class. Daily grades are given (once a week). Make sure you read the book if you want to pass her exams. It's not a difficult class at all!!!
Great professor she covers the subject extremely well as long as you listen and interact with the class you'll do great.
She's a great professor who really cares about you as an individual. If you are willing to put in the work she is willing to help you through all that work.
I hate speech and public speaking, Coy knows that people dislike it and only has a few speeches for you to do. Easy A, lots of small groups projects and it was easy to work with her. Not a high stressed level class and she's respectful to her students.
LOTS OF GRADES. Her lectures were great, her class was just a little too much for me. Not a very laid back professor, but still had amazing lectures and graded fairly. If you like candy (she gives out a lot of it), this is the class for you.
She's a solid choice, but she has a lot of assignments. It's almost as if she's teaching a high school class in a college class, which means a lot more busy work and group projects. The textbook is very important as well. Mrs. Coy herself is very nice, understanding, and always has a positive spirit.
I had a ton of with her, she's easy-going and loves to teach. Be respectful and she will give you respect. She has a family and is understanding of parents going back to school.
The course was always fun and professor Coy is very good at helping students understand the material. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Can easily pass with a B, but you will have to use the text book to earn an A.
Twyla is a really fun and understanding professor that wants to help you learn and grow. She's will work with you and help you to work around our problems. There is lots of reading the textbook in this class as most of what you learn and need to apply is vocab. based. Amazing professor that is really smart and understanding.
Professor Coy is an AMAZING professor! She was very helpful and supportive throughout the course. I was very hesitant about taking a speech class, but she made it fun and exciting. I would DEFINITELY take a course with her again!
I took her Mini Mester Hybrid. It was really fast pace. Overall not too bad. 2 test, 1 presentation, some in-class/online quizzes over the book so read the text, and hw assignment are online. There were some extra credit and great opportunities as well which helped my grade go up. Overall great professor. Would recommend her to anyone.
I am currently taking her 1311 class and it is a cake walk. A lot of work, but it is all extremely simple assignments. I am taking 16 hours at Lone Star right now so a lot of energy is be prioritized to other classes. With minimal effort I have a 97 in her class with a few weeks to go. Easy A. She's very caring!
She gives out a lot of busy work online. She takes forever to grade work and her instructions aren't clear and will tell you to look at samples that don't help. I had an A for a month and until she finally put in grades (on the last week before finals)that were due a month ago and got a b-. Shes really picky about what she wants which is annoying.
This was an easy class and anyone who disagrees is dead wrong. You really have to try to fail this class. If you turn in your assignments on time and your work is not sloppy then you will make a good grade. THERE IS A GROUP PROJECT! I had a very bad group, but she was flexible with me and I ended up getting a 98 on the assignment. Great professor!
AMAZING!! 10/10 recommend
She is one of the best professors I've ever had. She is extremely outgoing and caring. Complete all the work, but make sure to make time to understand the material; it helps a lot. She's more than willing to help you in any aspect, and I wish she had more classes that I could take. She's truly a great professor!
Really had a bad experience with this professor. She took forever to get any grades in, so you really have no idea how you're doing in the class. Very willing to help out, but for sure wasn't built for a hybrid class. She is extremely chatty about things unrelated to the class. She was even a day late getting final grades in....
Professor Coy is a really great teacher. She's not too tough but she's not too easy to where you don't learn anything. As long as you read the chapters, post on the discussions and reply correctly, take the quizzes (you get 3 attempts), and attend class you'll do fine. I had her hybrid class.
I took this class as a mini semester and Professor Coy was awesome! Sometimes her instructions can be a little hard to understand, but if you email her about it she will explain them. Also she is very understanding about any projects that she gives. Overall I loved this class it was great!
Super nice professor. Exams were over the stuff she covered and the group projects was actually fun. I enjoy the interaction in class kept me interested. You need 1 book but other than that good class.
She is very nice and cares about you. You will have two tests which cover quite a bit of material, but if you read the text, you'll be fine. The quizzes are online, and you can use the book. As long as you attend class, participate, and do the work on time, it is an easy A.
Seriously a very understanding teacher, speeches are straight forward and easy, just do not procrastinate . Easy A as long as you do the work.
I took a short hybrid speech class with her. She wanted us to read the entire book but it wasn't so bad. She uses newer technology which, as an older student, I had some difficulty however, she was extremely helpful and understanding. I cant say she expects more or less than any other professor. As long as you put forth an effort, she does the sam
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!! Easy and does amazing lectures. She is super nice and caring to her students. I would definitely recommend!
My favorite teacher of the semester. She gives you elementary school teacher vibes. Which is a good thing because all you have to do is participate and youll do fine. Giving a Speech & working on a group project can be overwhelming, but shes very helpful and nice to talk to. If you want to know your grade, u need to talk to her about it.
Took this class for a mini Mester and it was an easy A! There was an assignment due every other day, though the assignments were easy. Only way you could possibly do is if you don't turn in your assignments. Professor Coy is caring, she will reach out to you regarding certain assignments. Well organized class.
SUCH A SWEET SOUL! Amazing teacher and person! Very caring and makes sure her students are doing well! Shes very easy going. She makes lectures fun and entertaining. I took an 8 am with her and that class was always a good start of my day!
Just because a professor is friendly does not give them an automatic 4 or 5 rating. This professor took months to grade my assignments and wouldnt respond to emails when I asked about when we would get our reflection paper grades back. I eventually had to ask in class after several months of hearing nothing and it turns out she forgot to grade them
Professor Coy is so sweet and understanding and her class is very interactive so be ready to come out of your shell because almost every class she does mini group presentations related to the chapter. Make sure you read the chapters for quizzes and tests and you'll be fine.
The online class was very disorganized. Today is December 7, 2020, and I still have assignments from October that haven't been graded. She isn't super clear on expectations on assignments and defers HEAVILY to WebEx meetings. I work 60 hours a week and she only offers meetings twice a week. More explanation online would have been helpful
Really great prof who cares deeply for her students and is willing to work with them. Relatively easy to reach, has a family so is sometimes is busy. Has a lot of lectures and video in addition to reading chapters, chapter quizzes, 5 papers, group discussions, 1 group project, and 3 exams. Sounds like a lot, but not overwhelming and is pretty easy
Work is not hard, but there is so so so much work to do. She's heavy on deadlines but not great at keeping her end on the grading aspect. She overloads with videos and resources which you cannot skip through , more than 90% of her videos have terrible audio but you must "watch" them to take your chapter quiz. Overall easy class but annoying.
The course is interesting but the professor is very disorganized. We are more than half way done with a summer class but she has only graded two assignments so far. Everything else is blank, so no one has any idea how they are doing. She doesn't reply to emails. Maybe her in person class is better, but I recommend avoiding her online classes.
This subject has a lot of discussions and quizzes. There are 5 reflection papers and one final paper. It kind of demands a lot, but the topics were not that difficult and actually interesting. Reading the text helps. Prof. Coy is sweet and encourages everyone to participate and engage.
Loved her!! Super caring and helpful. Group project and informative speech at the end. Easy quizzes and tests. Pay attention and participate.
This prof was amazing. Although the course was discussion intensive, if you kept up with them and did the replies per rubric you will receive a 100. There were many quizzes, but with the chapter outlines she gives, it's super easy to answer the questions without reading the textbook. The tests are harder but few (2), 5 are free-response typically.
She's an okay professor. She is very sweet and kind, but does not put grades for the life of her. We have a month left of this semester and the only grades I have were the ones automatically done by the computer. Granted, I know she has a family at home, but it makes students worry about their average. Regardless, she's an OK teacher.
Professor Coy was amazing. She answered all questions. Explained everything. Overall amazing professor and so nice.
Professor Coy really cares about her students. She's willing to work with you if you communicate with her. Go to class- you'll actually enjoy the discussions and activities. You NEED a book. Sometimes you get to use them on quizzes and tests, but it doesn't help if you haven't read. I'd take another class with her- it was great!
Had her for SPCH 1321. Mrs. Coy is an absolute gem! She truly cares about student success & provides invaluable feedback. Her classroom is a judgement-free zone where everyone's opinions are valued. Don't miss a chance to learn from this wonderful educator - she's a catalyst for personal and professional growth! Highly recommended. - Cory
Mrs. Coy is a very sweet, optimistic, and caring professor. I loved having her as my teacher. Reading the textbook is crucial to understanding the material and earning a good grade. I truly enjoyed my time in her classroom. I would recommend her to anyone.
Take Mrs. Coy! Amazing, hands down the best teacher I've had to date. Super sweet, caring, and wants her students to succeed. I had the privilege of take her SPCH1318 last summer and am going to take her SPCH1311 as a minimester in a few weeks. Easy tests if you study material, yet the material is far from boring! can't wait to take her again.
Coy is a pretty good professor, you can tell she has a passion for what she teaches. My only critique is her pushing for interaction. Wouldn't recommend this class for introverts or those who do not like group work.
Good teacher, easy class, great lectures, and an easy A. Literally just do the essays and quizzes and you'll be successful. She'll work with you as well. Con: GRADES SLOWWWW
Amazing caring teacher.
PROFESSOR: Very kind, very understanding, may take a while to grade work, very enthusiastic, not strict. COURSE: Amazing lectures, textbook is needed and is very interesting, easy weekly quizzes, only 2 exams (midterm and final), notes sheets allowed on exams, interesting in-class videos, 5 easy 500-800 word personal reflections.
Took 30 points off for an assignment I submit in the wrong place, despite that it was correct and otherwise perfect.
Professor Coy is a sweet, caring instructor who makes the course engaging. The workload is manageable with a textbook, quizzes, papers, and exams. unstuck ai was a lifesaver for study prep - highly recommend!
Professor Coy was by far one of my favorite professors, she cares a lot and really takes her job seriously. Her confidence is at an all time high and I think you'll have a lot of fun in this class while learning a lot. You will have a very long project that entails a lot of pieces but other than that, the class is easy. Highly recommend!
Do not take this class if you want an easy grade for your degree. Yes, there isn't much homework, but there's three projects that are difficult to do if you are an online student. Too strict of rules for these projects that really brings the enjoyment down of the subject.
Mrs. Coy expects you to do work, however the work she gives is easy and pretty self-explanatory. You will need to buy the book or else you will not succeed. There are 5 (500-800 word) papers total, 2 tests, 12 quizzes and some perusal assignments, attendance is graded as well. She lets you try each quiz twice and tests you can bring a notes sheet.
If you come to class and participate you will pass. She's firm but fair overall it's a great experience. You will learn some great things that will be useful, she's setting you up for career opportunities
