Reviews of professor Melissa Weaver

Audience and group projects in an online class is ridiculous. I understand it's public speaking, so I'm not baffled too much by the audience, but group projects? On people who I have to communicate with in Canvas groups? Besides that, this class is just typing fluff essays and looking up answers on the quiz. This class is more of a joke then hard.

I got sick with COVID during my time in her course & provided documentation from my doctor stating my quarantine guidelines. She still penalized me for not having an audience even though I was literally in quarantine. Her audience guidelines of 8-10 people are bizarre & she puts none of her own materials into the course yet grades super strictly.

Be prepared to find 8-10 people to record your speeches in front of if you take it online, this was the main challenge of the course for me. If you can't then be prepared to take a 20% reduction on all your speeches. Other than that it was an easy class. There were weekly discussions, but you can work ahead on all the tests and discussions .
