Comment:
Overall as a person she was very sweet and very understanding. She had a lot of health issues my semester and we were in the middle of covid but, she just never had class and had to cancel multiple speeches and just gave us dull credit for them. If i didn't need this class to excel in my future i wouldn't be so upset.

Comment:
She is SO tough to follow and SO unreliable. Her lectures are completely incoherent and the directions are never clear. She does not know how to use technology and it negatively impacts her teaching. She cancels class constantly and talks too much about her (very conservative) political views to the point where it is inappropriate.

Overall class was not that bad but the profesor made it very confusing. Never gave clear directions and then got mad when no one knew what to do. Cancelled class almost every week right before. The professor made this class unnecessarily confusing and stressful.

Comment:
Do not take this teacher. This professor is probably the worst professor I've ever had. Not clear on directions, cancel class often to where you're teaching yourself, gives a bunch of busy work without clear instructions and without a lot of time for doing so. Very confusing and bounces from point A to point Z. Save yourself the headache.

Comment:
Considering it is speech communications, you would think she would know how to communicate to students, but you you will have a ton of questions & be confused with each speech, zoom call and even the book; which she wrote. On Zoom calls she talks about whatever pops in her head at the moment. Also grades everything the last 2 weeks of class.

I took Dr McKenneys speech 1060 class and she is a very laid back and helping She may take up to a couple days to respond to emails but she is very kind and will help you if you need help and may even give you extra time for your assignments if asked Def recommend and as far as the grading goes just make sure to follow her outline and rules

Her class was the only 1 so I had no choice but to take her & she is not a good professor at all. She gives so much work & everything is due on Thurs with 2hr Zooms on Mon/Tues. We had to fill out a topic sheet to get our topics approved & she sent it back 6 days later, 2 hours before it was due! She has a PhD & her excuse? :"I left it in drafts"

Great professor, but she can talk a lot lol. She knows what she's teaching and you can tell just by her age. I had her in class and on online due to COVID-19. She takes a while to answer emails and put in grades. Speeches get harder as time passes Online projectsEasy Speeches Clear to follow due to the examples given in the book Bookwork Easy

This professor gave so much unnecessary busy work homework. She doesnt respond to emails until weeks later usually. Doesnt respond to all parts fo emails.. And she isnt clear in her instructions. Almost every class we watched movies and we were required to watch more on our own time. Grading scale is off.

Takes a long time to grade you. I had her when we switched to online (COVID-19) and I give her a lot of credit for trying to make a speech class work completely online. Stay on top of the work and give some effort in your speeches and this class will not be challenging. She's a great person, and very qualified.

She is nice and a caring person. Went off topic alot and had lots of subs for the class. Overall the class was easy follow the outline of the speech and its very useful to create it. The homework was super easy and all the answers for the test were in the book word for word. Only thing I did not like about her was her lack of replying to emails.

If you are in college to actually learn please take this class with a different professor. She doesnt actually teach you anything, just talks about personal matters. My class has no idea when anything is due and we have learned more from a substitute than Mckenney. She is a very nice lady, but class is just one big confusion.

Comment:
She was extremely understanding regarding attendance and people coming from work to classes. She did miss class once, but dropped an entire speech. She also gives you class time to finish homework in class and its done as a group. She graciously graded and gives you plenty of time. She was very upbeat and reasonable.

The most confusing professor i've ever had. She made you to buy her own written book,which is not worth for this beginning level class. She missed class a lot and made the materails so hard since you will run out of time. I will not say that you can't pass the class,but she made the class difficult since she doesn't have any idea what she is doing!

She is a great professor and an all around good person! She is very open with turning in assignments and will even let you turn them in a little late if you need to. Get ready for stories, because she tells a lot of them.

Comment:
I was excited to learn from Dr. McKenney. The book required for the class is written by her which is admirable, but... it is a speech class. Shouldn't students spend more time talking than reading? She was not there 90% of the semester. Lectures are all over the place and she was VERY disrespectful to some students for NO sound reason.

Dr. McKenney is a very easy professor, but I didn't learn much in her class. She's very disorganized, she constantly rearranges the syllabus, she doesn't return homework quickly, and cancels class often. Plus there's a lot of "busy work" homework to do. However, she is a nice lady and her class is extremely easy.

She is sweet and runs such an easy course. She gives you an outline for the speeches you write, which makes it easier. She cancels class a lot, which I never had a problem with. Homework assignments were online but went in the exact order as they appeared in the book. Her lectures were off topic sometimes. She also let us out very early
