Reviews of professor Alycia LaFavor

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I was so worried about taking speech class. I myself have social anxiety and was terrified of speaking in front of people. I took her class during the summer and we only had 13 people in the class. This probably made it a lot easier for me, but she is a down right great teacher. She is a tough grader, but she just makes you work for what you have.

The professor is really good at communicating. She doesn't really seem to go off of the rubric. Her deadlines aren't super harsh. She has 3 major speeches and a lot of discussions.

Her grading system is impossible, she doesnt follow her own rubric and takes points off on whatever she feels like. Its incredibly discouraging as the one kid who worked hard on every single speech I gave while the rest of the class got nearly the same grade for no effort. Dont take it you want an A, if youre happy with a B or C, go for it.

I took the honors of this class- rubrics and grading criteria weren't clear a lot of the time. Many assignments/projects built on others throughout the semester, and she wouldn't provide guidance on how to improve work as time went on. Like other ratings mention she truly doesn't check her email.

She's a really good professor whose classes are pretty interactive. She wants her students to learn and do well in her classes, so she's always giving positive feedback, as well as constructive advice. In addition, the grading criteria is clear, if you do the assignments and follow the instructions to the letter, you'll be successful in her class.

Possibly the worst teacher I have ever had. Her grading makes no sense at all, she does not follow her own rubrics, she does not let you turn work in late, and if you do not have 5 people in your videos she knocks of 20% of your grade FOR EACH PERSON NOT THERE. She is not understanding in any way, you can tell that this is just a job to her.

the work in this class is pretty easy and doable, it's just the speeches, she grades them kinda tough and she said she will work on it in the future, so hopefully she does lol. an awesome person and she's a cool soul, just that she's a tough grader when it comes to the speeches.
