I have enjoyed this class, and Dr Gent. Quite possibly the most inspirational instructor Ive had! Really cares about her students and their education.

I have not enjoyed this class. Speech classes Ive taken in the past have been better. Class organization is confusing, lectures are packed at the beginning, leaving the end of the semester for performance after performance with little time to prepare in between. Also earned a high B but was dropped the a C bc of participation...................

I just wanted to say that the class was only hard for me because I don't do well with speaking in front of people. Dr. Gent was AMAZING, she went above and beyond to help me out of my fear of public speaking. She was so kind and so very understanding. She would always answer my questions when I had them and always made time to meet with me.

Super harsh grader... sure her expectations are clear, but youre only graded on a few things and simply not having your performance fully memorized will likely leave you struggling to get the score you feel like you deserve.. Performances are easy, expectations are not.

I'm a cmst minor and decided to take this class to learn to speak in front of an audience. This class has definitely helped with that. I went from being nervous to speak to being comfortable by the end of the semester. Teacher is funny and is a team player. She wants everyone to improve. Dr. Gent will get you in shape to talk in front of people.

The first half of the semester is lecture and the second half is reserved for your "performances". This class really helped me express myself creatively and made me more comfortable to speak in front of people. You can't do the bare minimum but if you care about your education and want to succeed, this is the class for you.

I actually enjoyed Dr. Gents teaching thoughout the semester, but Ive lost a lot of respect for her in these last few weeks, especially after she brought up her scores on this site to the entire class...

Dr Gent is an amazing professor! The class is well structured, assignments clear and intriguing, grading criteria clearly outlined and fair. Dr Gent has taken a class that could have been tiresome and intimidating, and made it enjoyable. Providing a great environment to learn and explore the art of performing.

She is a nice person but I did not enjoy her class, actually I dreaded it. If you're supposed to be working & you're done, she stares at you. Some of her instructions are confusing, also. Students gave her bad reviews on here & then in class a couple days ago, she complained about it in front of everyone, never seen that before from a professor.
