Comment:
She is very specific with what she wants which is totally normal and to be expected but holy mood swings.. you need to participate but not too much and if she doesn't think a joke is funny she will berate you in class. It's interesting that in a Speech class I was afraid to speak.

Comment:
When she explains assignments, it's hard to figure out what she wants from the assignment. She cares about how excited you are in her class and gets mad when you aren't excited. She likes classroom discussion, but DO NOT MAKE ANY JOKES. If you make a joke, she will get pissed off.

Comment:
She is very rude and thinks she is always correct. Often after class the entire class would make fun of things she said and defended even though they were clearly incorrect. One time she gave the exact same lecture 2 days in a row word for word and didn't know.

Comment:
Like everyone else is saying, she is very moody. in fact today she got mad at a student who was having a hard time getting her to understand what he was saying. he was only frustrated with himself and she took it the wrong way. SHE ENDED CLASS A HALF HOUR EARLY AND WALKED OUT BEFROE EVERYONE.

Comment:
Very imtimidating, but only because she takes her teaching seriously unlike quite a few of the hawkeye prof.'s ive had. Cares about your grade but only if you do. Fun activities and topics, great class overall.

It's her way or the highway. If you want a good grade do what she askes. Do not share your opinion. You will be wrong. She is right. If I was you I'd take someone else's class.

I would start to swear about her but I can't do that on here. She is nice up until it comes down to when you speak, and if you try to counter what grade she gives you, she will not listen to you. She shuts you down every time. She makes me want to cry when she talks just because she is so mean. I would NEVER recommend her as a teacher!

This lady has attitude issues,and mumbles through the class, is hard to understand what she wants, and if if you don't pick a subject she likes, you are in for a low grade Don't do a speech against, FOX NEWS, AGAINST SMOKING CIGARETTES, You will be sorry.

Comment:
This class was difficult becase of her subjective grading. She is moody and if she doesn't like you it affects your grade on speaches. I get nervous in that setting and she was not understanding at all. I pulled off a good grade because of tests, but I mostly felt my grade was out of my control. Fun activities, if you have charisma you'll do well

I thought she was an interesting teacher. Although she is a little moody shes very helpful when you need her and understands that you get nervous for speeches. Her tests come straight out of the book so you have to read. Activities are fun though. I recommend her. I thought she was great!

She is moody sometimes and you have to walk on eggshells around her. Sometimes she is sympathetic with you and the next day, she decides she really isn't.

Comment:
She tends to be very moody, once she called me out in class for adjusting my contact! She thought I was rolling my eyes at her!(she did this the 1st day of class). All I do now is sit in my seat and pray I make it through class without her calling me out. The one thing i would recommend her for is she doesnt grade on nerves for speeches.

Comment:
The minimester class was REALLY TOUGH. You are expected to do EVERYTHING in 8 days that you would typically do in a semester. Good teacher, doesn't grade on nerves, but can be very moody. Honestly, I got to a point where I didn't want to answer in class for fear that she would jump all over me. I learned a lot, and she was helpful when asked.

Comment:
Took evening class with her. Once said to me, I am not going to argue this point because it is just the way it is, then said something stupid, which i argued and won. She did not really like me after that. Also to get and A you need 93% or above. Not a great class as she also does not keep class talk under control.

I wasnt looking forward to this class, but she made it fun. She doesnt look down on your for being nervous since she used to have a problem with it herself. The class was fun and activities let you get to know your classmates which helps a lot when it comes time to give a speech. Shes easy to get along with, and an awesome teacher, best ive had.

I took Susan during the winter minimester. She covered all of the material as a regular semester, save one paper. She did, however, manage to keep the material manageable and interesting. I thought she was very personable and friendly. I definitely recommend her!
