Reviews of professor Rebecca Oliver

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This was my first online class and it was a great experience.  Dr. Oliver's course was very organized with very clear expectations each week.  She was available outside of class to discuss some problem areas I experienced.  I highly recommend Dr. Oliver and her course.

Ms. Oliver is great and wants to see students do well and succeed. She genuinely cares about her students and is available outside of class to help. She offers a lot of resources and feedback to help get better at public speaking. She also acknowledges that speeches are difficult for some and is willing to help with that.

She is great! Once you crack her shell, her class is fun and she cuts to the chase about what you need to know. You do work out of a textbook each class, but it isn't bad at all. Grades include participation, your speeches, and then the final. You should be perfectly okay if you go to class, do your speeches, and study for the final.

I absolutely appreciate Professor Oliver. She is a very nice and understanding lady, never brings another student down, and wants everyone to succeed. Tells you what you did wrong, and then how to fix it in submission comments. She made public speaking relevant and fun. 100% would recommend.

You really have to work for your grade in her class, but she is easily my favorite professor I have had at Murray. She knows so much and struggles to explain it simply, but you can learn so much from her and how to be a good researcher. Take her class a day at a time, and think before you ask a question, but she is really great,

Could not recommend her more! Best public speaking professor. Nicely paced class, not too fast or slow. Quick grader with clear feedback, follow the rubric and you'll be good. Not much homework, just work on your speeches and do not depend on your notes and you'll be good.

You basically have to memorize your whole speech but you get a notecard. If you act like you put effort into your speeches you will get a 98 on probably every one. I know the final is hard for every public speaking class but I heard that Ms. Oliver prepares you the best for it out of all of the other professors. Super sweet and highly recommend her

I loved Prof Oliver! Grading criteria is clear, not a very tough grader because she knows this class can be nerve racking. 3 graded speeches and a final, make sure to study the textbook and understand it, as thats where every question on the final comes from. Take her if you can!!

Ms. Oliver was the best. She wanted us to succeed and was very understanding. One of the best public speaking professors out there! I felt that she wanted me to do well, so it was not a class with a lot of pressure. I enjoyed it!
