Reviews of professor Rebecca Johnston

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This is definitely one of the better professors for this course. Tells you exactly what you need to know and nothing unnecessary. As long as you follow the format for speeches that is laid out in the textbook for every comm1000 professor, you will make a decent grade. We also get out of class early every day.

This class is easy if you follow the rubric. Professor Johnston is nice. We had short lectures and got out early everyday. She tries to make lecture fun with videos and activities. Gives good feedback to prepare for next speech.

Grading criteria are entirely too strict. There isn't much room for actually improving your public speaking skills. The way you have to organize and deliver your speech is clunky and awkward, but any deviation from that will result in lost points. I'm not a great speaker, but I lost a lot points for a lot of frivolous reasons.

She's super laid back. This class is exactly what you would expect from a public speaking class. She doesn't make anything harder than it needs to be. highly recommend
