Reviews of professor Kelley Young

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Harsh grader; makes a class that should be simple, complex. Does not provide rubric ahead of speeches. If you want/need this for credit take another teacher or take it online.

The classroom is very relaxed, it was a great environment to get to know your classmates. Attendance is mandatory and 1% is taken off your overall grade for every day you miss which is kind of annoying. But she doesn't really care if you are accidentally a little late. The two major speeches are worth 30% of your grade each so be prepared for that.

Mrs. Young is a great choice for Public Speaking class. She is very friendly and does her best to help students succeed. I do not like speaking in public, but Mrs. Young helped me get over that fear. I highly recommend Mrs. Young to anyone that is taking Public Speaking.

Mrs. Young is great for Public Speaking, but she can be really uptight. She also can make you feel inferior sometimes, but idk if she does it on purpose. The speech outlines are a lot of work sometimes, but if you put in the effort and try your best you will do well! She is good at making you not as nervous and is understanding of nerves too

Mrs. Young was a breath of fresh air. She had a song played everyday before the start of class. She's straightforward and she will work with you, if you ask.

She's a little passive-aggressive and can be kind of annoying at times but once you get past that she's a really great prof. I always thought she graded really fairly and she lets you argue your grade if you disagree with it.  Attendance is strict but you get one free skip. 3 speeches and final are your only grades but she gives great feedback.

I had Young for an 8am so I don't know if that made me like the class less. She doesn't allow you to take notes on your computer. Speeches weren't super hard to figure out, but there's no getting out of them, so be prepared. Attendance is mandatory and you're only allowed 1 without an excuse. Not horrible, but not my favorite class.

She was an easy teacher to have. Cuts classes short, online textbook, mandatory attendance with 3 free skips. There were never extra due homework besides the outlines and presentations which she allowed us to submit the day that you present. She can be passive aggressive at times and isnt the best at following up but she does care for her students.

Attendance is mandatory, which is very annoying with it being a public speaking class. Most classes are just listening to her try to relate to younger students awkwardly. She grades fairly easily and lets you talk about what she could have misheard during your speech.
