Comment:

She is very compassionate with her subject of teaching. I really liked her positive and uplifting personality. And the fact that she is very understanding and makes it her goal to get students to become more ignited in their speeches, helping the audience feel a sense of connection is the best part of her class.

What if I told you that by the end of this class, I had completed 98 assignments total. And that you would be given 6+ assignments per week, that weren't short. All while dealing with the class being THREE HOURS LONG. Think you'll get out early? Think again. You're there until the last second, and even later on some days.

I usually don't do reviews but I really like Helen Acosta! I have 2 MA degrees and her class is pretty hard. I don't mean "hard" in the sense of tests but she does assign lots of homework. Ms. Acosta has very good lectures and really puts her all into them. She cares about her students. She does provide extra credit opportunities so take advantage!

Comment:

My first year at bc. not impressed. She gives way too much homework and keeps her students until the end of class and a couple of times over. If you get lucky and happen to get out early it's only because she has work to do. Very anti-religion and found her to be offensive (I'm Catholic) Avoid at all costs.

This professor teaches well but at times can be lacking. Can be slow on grading and usually will make excuses. Speeches were easy and she made you feel comfortable.

I really looked forward to Intercultural Communications at the beginning, by the end I had no regrets about taking this class with this teacher! She's an amazing person who made class feel safe, I looked forward to going. LOTS of hw, as long as you stay on top of it you'll be fine because it's not hard. She makes class fun, I grew a lot as a person

Caring, focused, knowledgeable and kind. She is an engaging speaker with a lot of great in class group activities to demonstrate the course material. She has a ton of office hours so no excuses. She'll help you get an A if you show investment. Offers extra credit but be prepared for a TON OF HOMEWORK. Would take again.

Seriously there's way to much homework. Homework consist of 1 reading guide 3pgs, 1 journal 3pgs, 4 activity pages 1-3pgs long front & back, and a term project normally 2pgs long for 1 week alone. Just way to much busy work, Helen is there to help! But get ready for a long weekend of Homework. Binder checks make you do the all the work or no points

You will have a lot of homework in this class, which will account for forty percent of your grade, the class is not difficult but it is very time consuming, the lectures are very interesting and you break out of your shell after taking this class, the presentations and the techniques she teaches are very helpful and informative.

Professor Acosta is an outgoing teacher and very funny. I was nervous the first day because its a speech class and she just makes you feel like you can do it! She lights up the classroom with personality. Expect LOTS of homework, you have to basically do the whole workbook if not, you wont pass. 4 speeches total. Do all the work & speeches, easy A

Helen Is a great professor. You have no test just 4 speeches. She gives out binder work that must be done, if not you don't get credit. I was so shy in her class but her corny side makes it all better.
