Dr. Payne is amazing, she is very understanding and encouraging and helpful when it comes to public speaking. She was very flexible when I had an emergency, and when a couple of us missed an assignment she let us submit it late and get full credit. I felt that she graded fairly, and was just fun and awesome all around. SHE REALLY CARES ABOUT YOU.

Avoid taking her at all costs! She places the same assumption for all her students (non-working). She grades tough and pushes way too many assignments. Protect your GPA and look for a different professor!

Dr. Payne is SO GREAT! I had her during this Corona Pandemic and she was really awesome. She cares a lot about students and gives a lot of very detailed feedback! She also tells a lot of funny jokes. Our class never laughed because we were all tired, but her jokes are still funny.

I absolutely adore Dr. Payne. She is really just wonderful and she cares a lot about her students. She took the time to listen to my struggles with a certain speech topic and she let me change it to something I was far more comfortable with

Dr. Payne is one the most caring nicest and caring Professors at ODU. Comm101rR is a good choice with her. Just study for the quiz's and do good on the speeches and you'll do fine.

Comment:
The instructions for some of the assignments were not clearly defined and she will mark you down points for very small mistakes. You will have to wait 2 weeks minimum for papers and speeches to be graded. So, it is hard to actually learn from mistakes made on previous speeches because the next one is due before you get to see critiques.

Very nitpicky with grading speeches and gives way too much busy work that takes away from being able to focus on the actual speech itself. Wouldn't recommend.

She's really sweet and understanding. She makes the class very welcoming, even for those who have a bit of anxiety. I don't like how she makes us do flashcards and outlines, but overall not a bad class. Easy A if you just do the work, and listen to her lectures.

She's amazing! I really, really do not like public speaking but she puts so much effort into helping students feel confident. I wanted to do well just to make her proud. Responds very quickly to emails and will stay after class with you. Gives amazing feedback on how to improve as a speaker. Honestly, I would take her every semester if I could.
