Reviews of professor Samantha Ratzlaff

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Ratzlaff is THE Comm professor you need. She cares for the success of her students. She can relate to her students and reminds us that "I'm not here to fail you". One midterm, one final (both easy), one paper, and three speeches (Culture Identity, Informative, Persuasive). She is very strict on plagiarism tho.

If I could take this class again, I would! So I would definitely recommend taking her! She really takes the time to help you do well in her class and she makes the classroom environment feel comfortable so speeches dont feel as awkward. Overall, shes awesome!

An extremely kind professor who does not make the class hard on you and makes it seem like she sincerely wants you to pass. Makes comm 3 easy in the sense that she makes everyone in the class be friends with each other. She is also quite a tough grader.

I was nervous to take the class because I don't like giving speeches but she helped me a lot throughout the semester. If you have any questions she's always willing to help you. She posts the powerpoints that were used during the lecture so it's helpful when it comes to the midterm and final.

Assignments are clear and actually fun, and she also made us do rules for our group so the group work was actually fair.I took group because I didn't want to take public speaking and was pleasantly surprised. I would take this class with her again.

Ratzlaff is a super chill professor. As long as you do all the assignments, you'll pass the class. There are quizzes, 3 speeches, 2 papers, 1 midterm, and a final. She takes attendance everyday. Her lectures can sometimes be boring. Overall great prof.

Prof was a great instructor in being comfortable with public speaking. The 3 speeches that we did were a great way to get comfortable in front of class. The tests that we would had were a bit difficult but not the end of the world. Would defiantly recommend her as your COM 3 prof

Definitely my favorite professor. 3 speeches, quizzes for each chapter, and midterm/final. Not too hard. This class made me actually enjoy communication.

She's so nice, I love her! She does her best to get to know you as a student, and very helpful when it comes to speeches. If you need help she will gladly help you and give you ideas to include into your presentations. She does grade hard, but lets you know what you can improve in certain areas. Overall great class.
