Prof Garrison is amazing! As long as you read the textbook, complete the homework, and quizzes, and prepare at least a week and a half before giving a speech you'll pass the class with an A. She is really understanding and amazing, you won't regret being in her class!

There is too much unnecessary paperwork every week. She is horribly unorganized and unprofessional as a teacher. Takes attendance even though the school is a non-attendance taking college. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS... or be prepared for the most frustrating experience of your life.

Its only my first week and I am planning on dropping the class. She is overly strict for no reason. WE ARE IN A PANDEMIC.

she's fine, accessible outside class and tries to help you but she's a really tough grader. you need to do REAAAALLY good in your speech outlines, do good at presenting your speech.

I don't recommend her at all. She's a tough grader, doesn't give chances to improve your speeches, discussions, assignments. It's so hard to please her that you'll just get frustrated in her class. She has a lot of requirements, you need thorough research and gives BAD grades for papers.

Very clear and concise, however I feel like she is super tough with attendance, for instance, if you are more than 6 minutes late you're only present for half the day and if you have more than 8 "half days" by the end of the semester you fail. overall a good professor, just not the most understanding.

I wish speech wasn't mandatory. The class was basically useless, imagine making a twenty power point slide on speaking.... there were things like "MAKE SURE YOU PICK A TOPIC" and "MAKE SURE THERE IS AN AUDIENCE." And then she didn't want to post them online like they are super exclusive or something. 0 out of 10 would recommend.

Be prepared to do thorough research for the multiple speeches. Don't be scared to speak in front of others because it will show physically and on your grade.

This was one of my most feared classes but thankfully Professor Garrison made it a painless experience. Attendance is mandatory and you will lose points on your overall grade for missing! That being said lectures were always a joy due to the personality Professor Garrison brought to them. Follow the rubrics for the speeches and you will be fine!

Prof Garrison was alright. She's a bit tough but she's not difficult. She's a real gem to talk to and she's available outside of class. Just make sure you do the assignments and you will be fine. She gives good feedback on speeches. We mostly used the PowerPoint lectures in class, not really the book.

Love this woman! I dreaded speech. Terrified of public speaking, I took summer so I would only be subjected to 8 weeks, and I was sad to see the class end. She is so interesting and funny, class is fun. I started terrified and finished comfortable and confident. NEVER thought I would say this in my life, but I now think public speaking is fun!

She's clear on what she wants for presentations and gives plenty of time to work on each speech. The exams are time consuming, but overall fair.

Professor Garrison gives good feedback and she is really clear about what needs to be done for speeches. I learned a lot about public speaking from this professor and her notes are very helpful in preparing us to speak out loud. The textbook is not needed since she uses her own power-point notes and coming to class is mandatory to receive the notes

Ms. Garrison is a little strict about attendance with being on time and ready to work. During class lectures she has a good sense of humor and uses some of her performing arts skills with it. She's an overall sweet teacher. Students learn from her and and mixes up the teaching style. Sometimes its regular class lectures group work or speech day.

Prof. Garrison is awesome! I had so much fun being in her class because she fosters a very lightweight atmosphere in her classroom. Your grade is mostly speeches. During my semester we had to omit one of the exams. She does not post her notes to powerpoint so attendance is important. Note that I was reading the book and taking notes in class = A+

Easy speech class to take. Generally you only have to do 4 speeches throughout the semester and she list a textbook, but really only uses the information presented on slideshows. Test was easy and the speech's were easy to do. Good teacher for taking Speech 101.
