The decision
Key questions
Is this an easy A?
An A is very realistic if students complete speeches and assignments, helped by clear grading, flexibility, extra credit, and some easy grading.
Online evidence is mostly easy and flexible except one heavy COMM6 review, while in-person evidence strongly supports easy grading and extra credit.
Is the course easy?
The course content is approachable and practical, but public speaking can still feel stressful for students who dislike presenting.
Online reviews emphasize organization and easy flow, while in-person reviews emphasize short speeches, activities, and supportive practice.
Is attendance flexible?
Participation matters, but reviews describe her as flexible, accommodating, and willing to work with students.
Online reviews mention flexible Zoom and asynchronous options, while in-person reviews suggest participation is important for success.
Is this professor recommended?
Students strongly recommend her because she is caring, clear, flexible, and helps students feel comfortable.
Both online and in-person reviews are highly positive, with only one online COMM6 review clearly negative.
