Reviews of professor Nancy Grass

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Prof Grass is one of my fave professors at SMC! She is so sweet, and made me feel like family in her class. The class does make you work for that A, but she is lenient with deadlines, and understanding, but make sure to put effort into your responses and work because she will be a little tough on your grade if you slur through discussion questions.

Way too much talk about politics when there is nothing in the material that relates. I understand the idea of touching on current events but I'm unsure when all of these professors felt entitled to preach about their own political opinions and in turn, created an environment where you better act so damn left leaning just to get a decent grade.

I took this class when we had to transition online because of COVID-19, and she made it super easy for us. Zoom meetings were fun. She gives really good feedback with your presentation or projects. Sometimes she will forget about the lecture, and will talk about her personal experiences. Great professor!!

I love Dr. Grass! I took her online for both Com 35 and Com 37. You can tell she's passionate about what she's teaching and I really admire that in a teacher. I took the summer and winter courses for both classes so it was A LOT of writing in a very short time. You need to put thought into your work too! Both classes had no tests either

Interesting class, lots of introspection. Definitely sit in the zoom lectures if possible, she feeds off interaction and it adds a lot to the learning. Super caring and engaging. Work consists of weekly assignments, two tests and a 4-6 page paper. Lots of extra credit opportunities. Nothing overwhelming. I'd gladly take another class with her.

This was an awesome class! Prof. Grass is a really great teacher and the class was fun and easy. You do require books and reading, but its not hard at all. The assignments are fun and it gives the class a good environment. She gives good feedback and is super accessible. I took this class online due to COVID, but I would definitely take again!

She is very good. She gives great feedbacks, and guidance. If you need help she will go the extra mile to help you. I would take her class again.

you will have 2 non cumulative midterms, no final, weekly discussions, intro speech, value speech, and a group speech. First midterm is easy, the second is not. She let's you redo discussion as many times as you need. May allow students to redo speeches, it depends on how your class did. You will have extra credit opportunities which I advise to do

She was really nice and understanding when I had trouble at home, she gave me extra time to do the work.
