Lori is a disorganized mess. She has excuses for everything and is never prepared for class. Her instructions for assignments are vague and confusing. She has somewhat high expectations for someone who can't get it together.

Comment:

She was by far my least favorite college professor. She is extremely condescending and rude. If you do not agree with her, then you are wrong in her eyes. She is so closed minded and beyond unorganized. DO NOT TAKE HER!! She also makes it impossible to get an A (95% A). She basically does whatever she wants and is always right. Take anyone else!!

She is extremely rude and condescending. Almost everything she says is passive aggressive. She gives unnecessary work and is very unclear of what she wants which will lead to lower grades. She is THE WORST communicator! If you ask a question that she doesnt like then she will make you feel dumb and wrong for ever asking. Would not take again!

Lori is a great advisor and person, but I didn't enjoy her as much as a professor. The class was very disorganized and grading criteria wasn't clear. I feel as though some of my grades fell short only because I wasn't sure of her expectations. She is a really nice person, but can sometimes come across condescending when you ask her for help.

She is rude and passive-aggressive. My first experience with her was over email for my internship which I was having difficulties with the system in return, she was rude and talked down to me. I took her for a class this semester and she is not a good professor. She has unclear assignments and grading criteria which leads to deducted points.

If you are nervous to take public speaking courses, I would recommend this prof. The class itself is lecture heavy, and the material was sometimes dry. The grading expectations were clear, and extra credit opportunities were offered. Jager is really understanding and wants her students to succeed. Would recommend.

Prof. Jager is a great lady and advisor/professor. She can be tough at times but shes really caring and wants her students to succeed. Most of this class was a group client project and some reading. Class schedule was pretty flexible which was a little confusing sometimes but overall not bad. Would definitely take her classes again.

If you're worried about taking public speaking, Lorie is the professor to take. She's caring, makes you feel comfortable, and is clear on what she grades on. She gives a lot of good feedback and really knows a lot about the field. Some of the lectures can get dull, but she really tries to give you speaking experience and wants you to do well.

The lectures can be a bit boring, but Professor Jager is very sweet and is good at what she does. Her grading criteria is clear. She makes speech-giving fun, and the impromptu speeches made for a pretty good time! The midterm was fairly easy, and I expect the final will be too. No homework besides speech prep.

Good Prof, attendance is important. You can miss 3 classes but after that she starts taking points off heavily. She is awesome for Public speaking as I am someone who doesn't like getting up in front of people to speak and she makes it feel very comfortable. She grades pretty easy although i dont think i ever got a 100% ,only one or two points off

Great speech professor. Really tries to make students comfortable while speaking and will go above and beyond to help. I was so nervous to take a speech class but it was so easy! Follow her guidelines and go to her for help if needed. 3 main speeches-about you, informative,persuasive/easy written midterm/ and easy written final (not cumulative!!!!)

One of the best professors I have had at GVSU. She is passionate about what she teaches, has a ton of real world experience to draw on, and is very easy to talk to. If you try to do well, she helps you succeed.

She's so nice, understanding and supportive. One mid-term and one final exam. The rest were speeches. She's very sympathetic she'll make sure you're comfortable to give speech and will never make you stay late after class. Easy to follow the class and easy to talk to. Dont show up late a lot, you will get points deducted at the end of the semester

She's so sweet and positive! Had a great semester with her. She wants to see her students succeed. Only a couple tests which were not hard. Read the textbook. The speeches I found to be easy and fun-follow the criteria and be creative and it'll make the experience a lot better!
