The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
An A is very reachable with rubrics, feedback, and steady completion, but students still need to do speeches, outlines, and homework.
Online and in-person reviews both support an achievable A, while online comments more often stress weekly deadlines.
Is the course easy?
The content is not described as intellectually hard, but speech anxiety and repeated presentations make it feel demanding for some students.
In-person reviews emphasize confidence-building, while online reviews focus more on assignment flow and speech preparation.
Is attendance flexible?
Attendance is mixed across reviews, with some classes marked mandatory and others not mandatory.
Online and in-person records both include mixed attendance signals, so flexibility depends on section.
Is this professor recommended?
Most students recommend her because she is caring, clear, and effective at helping students improve public speaking.
Both formats are mostly positive, though the online format has one recent workload-heavy negative review.
