I would definitely recommend Professor Roe! She is a very fun, laid back person who is very nice and is easy to contact for help. She gives great feedback on each speech and makes the class enjoyable. There are some easy assignments/quizzes, 3 speeches, and 3 peer reviews on those. Overall an easy, enjoyable class and a great professor to take!

Download your speech outline as a PDF. She kept saying "nod downloads", but never specifically said PDF. I got a zero on a 100+ point speech because of it. So learn from my mistake. But overall easy class and a great professor. I had online anytime so we didn't interact much. She's really nice though. Loves The Office.

Professor Roe was an incredible instructor. She clearly enjoyed what she taught and valued her students. Beginning of the semester, she focused on building her students' confidence through simple exercises, preparing them for their first speech. She is an easy grader & even though this was a speech class, it was very easy-going. Highly recommend!

Professor Roe is AMAZING. I absolutely hate giving speeches and she actually made it enjoyable. She gives out plenty of extra credit, her lectures are interesting and informative, she's hilarious, and she is caring. One of the best professors I've ever had. TAKE COMM WITH HER.

Kim is a wonderful professor. She will literally give you anything you need in order to make sure that you are able to give a great speech. Her lectures are wonderful because she doesn't make them boring, as she would always crack jokes. I would highly recommend taking at least one of her courses!

She is absolutely hilarious and has a great heart. I would definitely recommend taking her class. At the beginning of the semester you will get to know everyone, it really helps when giving speeches. Also the group project will help you get to know others in your class better. I would definitely take her class again.

She is an amazing teacher! She really makes the lectures fun and helps you feel not quite so nervous for public speaking. She can be a hard grader, but if you do everything she asks for and then some: its not very difficult to get an A.

She says in class that if you complete all requirements you'll get a C, and an A comes from more effort. That being said, there are at least 4 or 5 ways to get around 15 points each for extra credit. The online quizzes are easy and the final is online. You don't even need the textbook. Also, her lecture prompts seemed better than other teachers

Initially really enjoyed her class because she started off the semester trying to make everyone comfortable with each other to make giving speeches easier. Speech topics weren't hard, but her grading scale made this class difficult. If you do everything she wants then you get a C because you did the minimum. You have to work hard to get an A

Kim Roe is by far my favorite professor at ICC. She is hilarious and makes coming to class really enjoyable. I have a fear of speaking in front of people, so having to take Comm 110 made me very anxious. But, Kim eased my anxiety and it turned out to be an easy A for me. Would take again.

Overall this class was not overly difficult. The material for the online quizzes can be found in the book, but I also made quizlets. There are a lot of ways to earn extra credit, especially for the final. You get lots of in class time to work, but I do not feel that I learned anything too new. I would recommend her class if you have to take COM 110

At first I thought she was great. she graded the first couple speeches fairly, then started grading harder without any guidance on how to fix your problem areas. She barely gave us any direction for our group speech, and the final exam material wasnt taught at all. She's entertaining in class, but I learned nothing

Kim Roe is by far the best teacher I've ever had. First of all, she is hilarious. This makes the class not boring, especially during lectures and notes! She gives extra credit, which gives everyone a more than fair chance to pass the class. She respects you as a student. I don't think I could've lucked out with a better teacher for this course.

Very friendly, and she has very entertaining lectures. She does well to make you feel comfortable during speeches and is not judgmental at all. If you have to take a communication class (especially com 110 with speeches) take it with Kim Roe, you won't regret it! Her tests are kind of hard, but as long as you do well on your speeches you'll do well

Would definitely recommend taking her class, especially if you're nervous about public speaking. She totally gets it and is a decently generous grader. She assigns fun speeches and is totally willing to help you out. She'll also make you laugh at least once everyday which is a major plus.

She's absolutely hilarious - a blast to be around! She understands the anxiety that comes with public speaking and intends to make the class as relaxed as possible. There's only 2 graded speeches you must present on your own and one (more frustrating) group speech. Overall I recommend her to anyone with a fear of public speaking stuck taking speech
