Reviews of professor Amy Rufino

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
2nd cohort, she prepares you extremely well for the final exam, which does mean she makes you work a little hard sometimes in preparing for a mock press conference or cultural presentation. Make sure for cultural work shop to actively engage the audience like get them to repeat words of the language back etc. She is a little zany but also caring.

Does not provide feedback, or a grading rubric, yet complains no one meets her standards. Her standards are way too high for a 100 level intro course, no one in any section has gotten an 100 on a speech. Syllabus is incorrect and a group project was dropped on us as a final 3 weeks before class ended. Also not in syllabus. Avoid at all costs.

Very difficult person (ironic that she teaches communication). Would critique your appearance in front of the class. Had us run around the classroom and do jumping jacks every class (why??). Most of the work was just memorizing stuff. Had us write an essay and memorize then on presentation day she told us she decided to drop the assignment.

Professor Rufino is not the correct teacher to be teaching this class. Lectures after coming in on the first day thinking this wasn't going to be that bad she clearly showed after that it was not going to be a good class. She does not give good feedback for anything; grading is unclear and makes no sense. Speech outlines are terrible!!!

Professor Rufino is an amazing professor. She is very energetic and keeps the class entertaining. Although she may be a harsh critic at times, her feedback is very helpful. She wants nothing but the best for her students. I recommend taking her.
