Reviews of professor Helen Picard

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Really nice teacher! Super helpful with dealing with stage fright, The class is not hard - 4 speeches, 3 essays, and 2 exams. Stick to the rubric and you'll get an A every time. Really want to help you improve and is even lenient with turning in late assignments. Highly recommend!

Hands down one of the best professors at FIU. She did an amazing job at presenting the information in a way that was easy to understand. I thought the distribution of the material itself was very good. I would have liked to have more time to go over the resume packet in class and receive in person feedback from the professor.

Awesome professor, had a personal issue come up mid semester and she worked with me to get my assignments in. Actually cares about her students. Responds to emails in a timely manner. I don't usually review but that really saved me!

Professor Picard is a great teacher when taken in the Summer term! She is very thorough with the material, although before the midterm she missed one topic. She is a bit of a tough grader and will not overlook small details. In addition, she sticks with the outline given for the course pretty well & provides good research resources. Great teacher!

Had for both SPC and COM. Allot of feedback on written assignments. Was expecting it for a business communications class though. Mostly was easy stuff to fix and helped improve my writing for work. Shared allot of real world experience relevant to my career. Helped allot more than some of my other professors.

Wonderful professor and really helped us get used to remote learning. Very lenient regarding current circumstances and always gives feedback as soon as possible. Not a hard grader, but wants to make sure you understand the topic well enough. Love her lectures! She uses real world examples which are very beneficial. 100% recommend!

The class was fun and overall wasn't hard but the teacher absolutely hated giving 100s as I think they only 100s given in the whole class was participation not just to me but to everyone as in canvas you can see the highest grades given per assignment. Her toughness on grading is my only real complaint as it made everything a little harder.

Summer B - Sweet and informative. Participation and attendance are graded. Daily short team discussions and presentations. Five online quizzes, three written assignments. Easy topics but strict on grammar! Provides feedback after everything and shows she cares you are learning. Highly recommend :)

Knowledgeable Professor! Very passionate about Public Speaking. Gives good feedback and available to meet outside of class to practice speeches. Would definitely take again. Great class!
