Reviews of professor Lisa Preston

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Pretty much she just has terrible communication skills. Most unorganized course I have ever taken, you can't even find where to submit assignments. Seriously just gives terrible descriptions of how to complete assignments. Also has an extra credit description but no way to submit it ad syllabus says no extra credit?

I didn't have any particular problem with Ms. Preston, but the class was a tough one. Failing one speech can tank your entire grade for the course; if you take the half-semester course, it's based off of 300 points, and each speech is 100. Besides the speeches, the class is just lots of reading and discussion boards. You'll have about 3-4 per week.

Terrible communication skills, ironically enough. Takes forever to grade. Extremely vague when answering questions and emails.

Professor Preston is the most unorganized person I have ever taken a class for. The lectures are pretty much her rambling, she doesn't tell you why you got the grade that you did on assignments, her lecture guidelines for the assignment don't match the syllabus, and for most of the semester the syllabus was the one for Fall 2019.

Took the 8 week version of this course and it was manageable with other courses. There is no final, only chapter quizzes which were super easy. There is 2 speeches required for this course. But all you need is a video camera and 3 people to be in your audience. You get to pick the topic of your first speech. The only other work was discussions.
