Reviews of professor Jessica Journeay

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This professor was amazing. You have the tools to succeed. The expectations are clear. I feel like some of my classmates think class and life should be easy. It takes work. Boom !

She says the textbook is required, but you get enough from the lectures to pass. She can be a little picky about grading, but if you strictly follow the organizational model you'll get an A. There isn't homework other than prep for speeches and the personality papers at the beginning of the sem. She is super caring for her students and is dorky.

The professor's rubric is very specific. She wants you to follow her outline rubric word by word and expects you to write a lot on the outline. I had a hard time finishing my speeches within the allocated time since there was so much to talk about.

Professor Journeay is just a constant beam of light for anyone who takes her class. She always showed up with the best attitude and wanted nothing but for us to succeed and really take away something from her class. Shes one of the most genuine professors Ive ever had because shes so passionate about public speaking.

Miss Journeay was my favorite teacher at Cal Poly! She genuinely loves her job and felt like she really cared that I succeeded, unlike the other teachers I had that treated it simply as a 9-5 job. She made sure we learned how to communicate more effectively, but in a very easy to understand way. The couple negative comments here are honestly CRAZY!

There's 3 major speeches, but you are graded SO strict. You don't have any room for speech flexibility. She answers emails pretty fast and is good at uploading assignments on time. Won't grade previous speeches till the week yours is due though. One Midterm, but it was hard and will bring you down bigtime if you fail.

Really chill class. 3 speeches with a fourth one during finals but they are all on topics you find interesting. She knows that people don't like public speaking so she is really caring, and understanding.  Take her.

She is a very caring professor that is really understanding so don't hesitate to talk to her about anything, her course is really only centered on the speeches and outline for it so as long as you do that and STUDY for the midterm then you should be solid. DONT UNDERESTIMATE THE MIDTERM BC ITS A SPEECH CLASS

Probably 1 of the best professors I have taken, if not the best. She is very understanding, energetic, & enthusiastic. you can tell she loves her job. she has our presentations recorded so that we can look back and improve for the next. 5 presentations, outlines, etc. HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO TAKE HER CLASS (if you can get into them)
