Reviews of professor Valerie Cone

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Take her for science grade, regret horribly. The final test costed me my sleep and the final reflection paper is tedious. Tired and overwork, this class certainly kills my enthusiasm for everything else.

Valerie Cone is one of the utmost professional and friendly professors I have met. She has a very positive attitude! She was very understanding and catered toward the amount of people she knew feared public speaking. Her workload was never too much but you cannot miss one small homework assignment or it could all fall apart, but always informs you!

Fantastic professor. I have terrible anxiety and hate public speaking. I also had a personal issue in the class itself. She was extremely kind and helpful with all of these.

I have never met a more annoying professor in my life. Take a different class or professor for your science credit. Her assignments are incredibly overly complicated, they are easy but tedious. There are a good amount of tests as well as research papers including one where she wants you to interrogate someone about their culture. Don't take her.

Amazing prof., I was a bit nervous to take this class but she exceeded my expectations. if u r doing it online you'll have to record yurself and submit it in discussion for everyone else to see and critique. she's very quick to respond to emails and gives gr8 feedback. She's a prof. that's genuinely passionate about public speaking and teaching.

She provided lots of information but was very comprehensible. She was really interactive with the class overall. She provides really detailed feedback, however, I did feel she didn't grade fairly, as some things she took points off for weren't the student's fault and this could be seen in comparison to other people in my class.

4 speeches and 1 test. Not hard just do your speeches and you can easily get a B or A. Just depends how much effort you put into your speeches.

Prof Cone is an okay/solid option. Homework can be unclear sometimes. Gives good feedback on the speeches but might be tough grading the written parts. TALKS ALOT even though she knows what she is doing. Discussions ARE IMPORTANT AND GRADED, so dont miss any if you can help it and follow the instructions

Dr. Coles Cone is such a caring and genuine professor. her lectures are very straight forward and grading is very clear and fair. I absolutely loved her class, she really made an effort to help us improve our public speaking skills. Definitely take her class if youre given the opportunity to!

Amazing professor especially for  the anxious student. The content an organization of the speeches is as relevant as your presentation. This makes it viable for speech phobic student. Complete the discussions and it helps you to understand the assignments. Very fair  professor invested in student success.
