COMS 101 Sophomore Grade Earned: B General Ed 7:14 pm, Apr 7, 2013 Report Evaluation		Fairly easy class. You can just try a little and get a B basically. If you practice your speeches a lot you will get an A. Very easy to get a B though. Make sure you read the chapters for the tests.

COMS 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 10:21 pm, Mar 27, 2013 Report Evaluation		Prof Twisselman-Davis is overall a very nice lady and a good professor. I did not observe the "picking of favorites" mentioned in other posts (I'm not just saying that because I was a "favorite" or anything like that). Ms. Davis gave great advise and feedback to us students, and never seemed unfair in her grading. If anything, she was generous. The midterm and final were straight from the book and her lectures, and you only had to memorize a couple of key points (and have common sense) to do well on them. The speeches where not graded too harshly, but if you want to do well, choose a simple and interesting topic. Topic choice and delivery are the main components of the grade (not explicitly, but essentially). But still, if you want to get a good grade in the class, you should make sure she at least kind of likes you. It is a COMS class after all. \\ (P.S. she got married I think so her name is Twisselman-Davis not Twisseleman. Come on, that's not even spelled right...)

COMS 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 1:24 pm, Jan 7, 2013 Report Evaluation		I took the 4 hour class, which seemed horrible, but it didn't turn out too bad. She would lecture a few days with powerpoints, but mainly after the first few days all we did was give speeches. The good thing about our class was that we didn't take midterms because we were too busy with speeches. The (4 hour) class consists of 3 speeches (informative, persuasive, and your choice between a tribute or impromptu speech), a speech analysis, and an easy multiple choice final. She was a lot of fun, and a good teacher.

COMS 111 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 6:28 pm, Dec 21, 2012 Report Evaluation		Does not remember names unless your speech went really, really well. Never go overtime on your speeches, it will kill your grade no matter how good it is. In students' opinion, she grades speeches based more on entertainment so pick an interesting topic if you can. She's pretty nice, just grades pretty harsh. But she's genuine and her lectures are very interesting. Although there is minimal outside work besides a few written work and speeches, but do try in the class! It is not an EASY A...work hard on your speeches! I got a B+ and regret not working harder for that A...

COMS 217 Freshman Grade Earned: B Required (Major) 7:25 pm, Dec 19, 2012 Report Evaluation		The best piece of advice I could give anyone that will ever take her classes, is to kiss her ass the very first day and continue to do so. It won't matter how smart you are, how good your projects are, or how hard you work, because she chooses favorites the first day and gives them good grades while handing out C's to everyone else. I'm not kidding, when I took her class I worked my ass off on every project and speech, and still ended up with a B. When we went to her to ask what we did wrong, she didn't even have evidence as to why we didn't get an A. This teacher is absolute bullshit, so beware!!!

COMS 101 Sophomore Grade Earned: A General Ed 11:23 am, Dec 7, 2012 Report Evaluation		Twissel was awesome, except I do not recommend her four hour block. However, she made the class bearable because it was so long. She was always so enthusiastic and did not require much work at all. We had five speeches, two heavily weighted ones with written outlines, and one paper. As long as you show up to her office hours or at least try to establish a relationship with her, she will love you and give you nice grades. Only thing that was a really hammer to the head was that she took a very long time to get a small point across. And she was a bit too enthusiastic at some points. But I really enjoyed her class because I could tell she really wanted us to become better speakers. I know that I have definitely become more confident giving speeches because of her class. TAKE TWISSEL!!!!!

COMS 101 Freshman Grade Earned: C General Ed 10:32 pm, Nov 28, 2012 Report Evaluation		(Long story short, she's rude, she's a harsh grader, and I'd recommend another professor.) Prof. Twisselman-Davis knows what she's talking about when it comes lecturing about public speaking. Unfortunately, lectures are a very small portion of this class. You'll spend most of your time listening to speeches and giving speeches. Twisselman picks a handful of students as her favorites, and fawns over them after their speeches as a habit. If you're not one of those students, don't expect to anywhere close to an A on any of your speeches. She'll mark you off points on the most inane bullshit you can imagine, and she'll sometimes write in the comments that you can come to office hours to discuss the mark and resolve whatever issue caused the low grade. Sounds nice, but you'll soon find that after taking time out of your day to go to her office hours, she'll have the audacity to stand by the original mark and let you know that you were in the wrong. Continuing on that vein, she's extremely unhelpful and unforgiving in general when you run into any sort of issue and try to get help from her during office hours. Even during class, she has a very weird attitude toward students. On the surface, she seems genuine and nice, but as you progress through the quarter you'll notice that it's strangely fake. Hard to describe. I'd say that you need to take the class to understand, but I'd never wish this class upon anyone. Take another Professor, there's lots of sections of COMS 101 to choose from.



COMS 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 10:12 pm, Aug 21, 2012 Report Evaluation		First of don't take the 4 hour block, even if it means no friday classes for you, even if there is this one dreamy guy with a nice ass or that really cute girl with some shirt bustin' breasts on the first day, even if you're a sadist, even if you like sitting, even if you like the number 4 hours. Don't do it. \|\|\|\|\| That aside Twisseleman is passionate about her class, a very rare quality in a teacher, and a fair/hard grader. She knows that you get nervous and what not, in the end you will at least get more CONFIDENT at speaking.\|\|\|\|\| Some tips to an A: Get to KNOW your professor, she will probably grade you better on a speech even if you trip up once or twice than if she doesn't know you that well.\|\|\|\|\| Pick INTERESTING topics, I had the 4 hour block, you do not even know how boring some of my classmates' speeches were. I wanted to yell DGAF all the time, because I was so flippin' bored. Listen, if you get psyched on your topic, then your classmates get psyched, then Twisseleman gets psyched, then your grade gets psyched! what-WHAT! #BROFIST \|\|\|\|\| As for reading assignments, just skim the chapters and really read the summary\|\|\|\|\| Oh yeah and her stories are legit because they are interesting and waste time. And if you don't get an "A" or a "People's choice/best speech award" you're a scrub. #AsianDad

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 10:37 am, Dec 17, 2011 Report Evaluation		Mrs. Davis was the nicest teacher. She was always available for help outside of class if you are having trouble picking a topic for a speech or having any problems in general. She is a very animated teacher and makes the class fun. She sometimes lets the class out early. She wasn't like other public speaking teachers where some classes had to write essays or anything weird like that. We just had 5 speeches during the quoarter, a easy midterm just on simple material from the book, and a really short final on the book material. I highly recommend you take her class. She is not a very harsh grader on speeches and overall the class ended up being fun and not too hard.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 9:30 am, Dec 12, 2011 Report Evaluation		Good teacher, terrible grader. Sheree Twisseleman is a great teacher, and she'll teach you a lot, and you'll learn a lot. However, if you expect to get an A in the class, you should not take her. I don't know of any speech that got an A in the entire class, even one we all voted on as the best. If you are trying to use this as a gpa booster, don't even think about it. She grades harder than any teacher I've ever had in my life. Even if you go into her office hours, and do what she says, you still probably won't get an A. It's an easy class to pass, not much homework, but don't expect to get anything higher than an 88.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A Required (Major) 2:59 pm, Dec 8, 2011 Report Evaluation		Miss Twiss is a great teacher. I had her for COMS 101, and you could tell she loved Public Speeking and Cal Poly. Get on her good side, and she's more likely to give you good grades. Go to her office hours and implement all the suggestions she gives you. While you have the choice to pick the topic for most your speeches, try to cater them how she wants them if you want a good grade.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 6:55 pm, Nov 30, 2011 Report Evaluation		Ms. Davis is super awesome. I took this class once a week from 5-9pm.. but I was able to stay awake through the whole class! (Well, my classmates made it super enjoyable.) Her speeches aren't hard (just follow the guidelines as best you can). The lectures might be a little long when we have to take notes, but she gives a few breaks every now and then. She's a fairly good grader. Her final was MC. You should take her if you can!

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 10:50 pm, Apr 27, 2011 Report Evaluation		Nice person. Seems insincere sometimes and can get quite annoying with her enthusiasm for speech. 4 hour block sucked but whatev. Honestly, she is a good speaking coach, but you may not get the grade you want because she is tough on the grading.



CM 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 3:18 pm, Mar 30, 2011 Report Evaluation		She is a very nice teacher, she is excited about what she teaches so that makes the class easier to go to. I had her once a week four hour block, and that was miserable. I probably wouldn't do it again, but I'm glad that I did because then once you went to class you were done for the week. The class itself wasn't hard at all, the speeches are heavily weighted, but if you have put in obvious effort and you can speak at least decently well in the class you will get a B. The reason I got a B was because I never studied for the quizzes and tests.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 3:39 am, Mar 22, 2011 Report Evaluation		Space cadet. Nice lady. Can't remember names. Harsh grader. Do not take 4 hour block because the animation will make you go crazy.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 6:23 pm, Mar 17, 2011 Report Evaluation		Twisselman is such a great teacher. She teaches with enthusiasm and she is very approachable. Pay attention to her lectures (she will give you hints on what is on her exams), and be sure to try to improve on the constructive criticism she gives you. The class consisted of 5 speeches, and 2 exams.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 6:17 pm, Nov 22, 2010 Report Evaluation		Sheree is like a adorable little mom. She is one of the nicest teachers that I have ever had. She gives a lot of constructive criticism which helps a lot in improving speaking skills. She is very enthusiastic, and has very animated stories. She gives you the whole layout for the class which helps you not stress out about it. Overall a great teacher.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 4:18 pm, May 18, 2010 Report Evaluation		I went into speech thinking it was going to be the easiest A I\'ll ever get but it turns out that I just learned that the class was utterly and completely bullshit...Twisselman is really nice as a person but she\'s a hard grader. Make sure that you do the outlines exactly as she wants it or it\'ll be reflected in your grade and you\'ll be knocked from a A- to a B. She always gives constructive criticism as well as makes you feel good about your speech when you sit down. But what she says in class probably won\'t be reflected much in your grade. She amplifies your flaws in order to knock your grade down for something. I had eye contact with the audience the entire time and still got a 4/5 on it, got a 3/5 on \"effective use of voice\" because I spoke too fast for her to understand, got a 4/5 on my introduction even though i was the only one who presented a clear thesis, and I got knocked down for other things. Although a 4/5 doesn\'t seem bad, that\'s pretty much a B for a class that I was expecting to boost my GPA. Overall I don\'t think that she was a fair grader (with certain people) at all The class is easy but I wouldn\'t have taken her again. I probably would have gotten a better grade with Kawamura....

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B Required (Support) 10:31 am, Mar 10, 2010 Report Evaluation		If I had to retake this class, I would surely not take this woman. She spends the whole first two weeks talking about how she thinks free speech is the most important thing and that you can write about whatever you want. LIES. While she is a very friendly woman, she is very judgemental, which is a horrible quality for a COMS teacher.



SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 7:55 am, Mar 10, 2010 Report Evaluation		Twisselemen is an EXTREMELY excited and animated teacher. Personally it drove me nuts to the point where I had a difficult time paying attention in class. She speaks to her students as though they were kindergardeners. Never in my life have I met a teacher so childish and exaggerated as her. If you walked in the room without looking at the students you could swear you were watching a 1st grade class. To her defense, she explains thoroughly and is a fair grader. She gives fair tests and enables students to properly prepare for tests. You can tell she cares for her students but she definitely plays favorites. If you are animated in class and buy into her antics, she will love you. Most definitely not a difficult class by any means (if your a decent public speaker) but that is if you can take her classroom rants. She has probably wasted at least 5 hours out of the quarter wasting our time with examples of past speeches. It got to the point where I wanted to scream. Very nice lady but only if you can handle her....

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 5:06 pm, Sep 9, 2009 Report Evaluation		I definitely recommend taking her for coms because she is so sweet and her class is pretty easy. There are the boring lectures but there always are. She grades fairly and the speeches are pretty easy. There were only 2 or 3 major speeches which only needed to be 5-6 minutes which is way better than any other teacher you will find. She helps you with speech ideas and if you have any questions, she is always willing to help. I was terrified to take speech since I'm a terrible public speaker but after the first speech, I realized it wasn't a big deal talking in front of the 24 other people in the class. TAKE HER IF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY!

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 11:10 am, May 27, 2009 Report Evaluation		Very pleasant! She makes public speaking a lot less painful. The word is out that she's a great teacher, so I'd wait to take speech until you can get her.

SPC 101 Sophomore Grade Earned: B General Ed 7:03 pm, Apr 19, 2009 Report Evaluation		She was fun, energetic, and helpful! The class was based on one smaller speech and two big ones, with 2 multiple choice midterms (one instead of a final) She helps you prepare for the speechs and then grades you reasonably. Even when I thought I did bad I still got a B

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 2:32 pm, Apr 1, 2009 Report Evaluation		She is so sweet and supportive. Definitely a great speech teacher if you feel really uneasy about getting in front of the class. I would definitely say you still have to put in some effort for an A, but from what I've heard from other people she seems like the best COMS 101 teacher to take



SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 8:31 pm, Mar 18, 2009 Report Evaluation		She was an easy grader and was very excited about teaching public speaking. I recommend her to any one! I am so glad I took her for COMS. I wrote all my speeches the night before or the day of and never got anything lower than a B on them. If you don't like speaking in front of crowds, she is a good teacher because she always gives nice feedback and is happy! Take her!!

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 4:49 pm, Jan 16, 2009 Report Evaluation		First of all she is a very nice lady and really enthusiastic about teaching speech. However, I really do not understand her grading. I really dont. Im not the greatest speaker so I wasnt surprised i got Bs on my speeches but she would give really good grades to some people for speeches that definitely werent better than mine. Plus she gave me a really bad grade on the outside speech analysis which is just an essay and I never get bad grades on essays (I am usually a pretty good writer). I mean I evaluated the speech, what more do you want me to do? Your not a english professor. Anyways she is super nice but she makes it really difficult to get an A in a GE class which is irritating but it is a pretty easy B (although I ended up with a B- somehow?). So take her if you want a really nice lady but be prepared to go the extra mile if you really want an A

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 11:09 am, Jan 15, 2009 Report Evaluation		She's a little cooky but fun class. You really have to go above and beyond for an A though. Easy B.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: C General Ed 5:24 pm, Jan 5, 2009 Report Evaluation		Twisselman is very enthusiastic about her class. I took a 4 hour block of it once a week and highly suggest it! She keeps class entertaining and fun and is aware of her students and when subjects need to be changed. The only reason i received a C is because i would write the speeches the night before and didn't read any of the book for the midterm. Take her!

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 9:06 am, Dec 16, 2008 Report Evaluation		Sheree is a great teacher! I was definitely nervous about the whole public speaking thing, but after the first speech or two you kind of settle into it. She is awesome at creating a comfortable environment to speak in and was always interested in what we had to say. She is also a pretty fair grader: I kind of messed up one of my speeches and was still able to get a B+ on it. The work load isn't to bad, we had four speeches, an outside speech analysis paper, a midterm and a final. The midterm and the final are a piece of cake as long as you do all the reading and pay attention during her lectures. MAKE SURE YOU FULLY PREPARE FOR YOUR SPEECHES!!!! You're not allowed to have your full outline when you go up to speak, just one page of notes which can make your speech a nightmare if you didn't practice before hand. Also make sure you practice delivering your speech. Stumbling on your words a lot will destroy your grade.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 11:57 pm, Apr 20, 2008 Report Evaluation		Sheri is not a good teacher unless you are an Ag major. She completely eats up any speeches on agriculture and farming. Otherwise, you'll probably get a B. You have to have visuals for EVERY speech, most other classes you only have one speech with a visual. She also talks a lot about herself, but must Coms teachers do



SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 5:42 pm, Apr 7, 2008 Report Evaluation		Twisseleman was a decent teacher. She was really nice and extremely energetic. She loves hearing speeches, and telling her class about all of her favorites and about herself. She created such a comfortable environment and wasn't intimidating at all. We had to do an object speech on a topic we drew out of a hat, an informative, a persuasive, and an impromptu on a question she writes, plus an outside speech analysis paper, two peer evaluations and a self evaluation. There was also a long, difficult midterm and a short final. Not too difficult of a workload, but you need to read the lengthy chapters in the book. Once you got some time with her she was helpful, but she is a very busy woman so that was not always easy. All in all I don't feel like I gained too much from her, except the chance to practice, but I learned a lot about structure and organizing from the book. A very nice lady though.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 1:15 pm, Mar 26, 2008 Report Evaluation		Twisselman was a decent teacher. She is really energetic and makes the class go by vary quickly. My class was full of people who where very comfortable speakers, so the speeches were always good and her comments very easy. She can be a tough grader when it comes to the speeches. Your best bet is to do something that will connect with her. She loves to give her input into whatever your talking about. While we never went over how to overcome your fear of speaking or even how to write a good speech the class was decent. The midterm can be challenging. Your best bet is to not overthink the questions. While she doesn't say she curves I believe she does, because there was no way I should of gotten the grade I did. Like any speech class if your a comfortable speaker, you will do well. The class is fairly easy, the one plus is that you can use the internet as a source, but you have to write out outlines for your speech. I would recommend her.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 2:48 pm, Mar 3, 2008 Report Evaluation		Sheree is an amazing teacher. She truly cares about the students and tells alot of interesting personal stories! If you have trouble with the first speech, go into her office hours. She will help you out step by step if you really need it and you'll pretty much get an a the next class. There is one midterm and one final! It was nice that the final was only on the second half of the class. She may structure it differently but that is how our class was structured. She's really energetic but grades on attendance so make sure you come to class. Definitely take her, especially if you are an ag major or love agriculture in general!

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 11:52 am, Feb 22, 2008 Report Evaluation		I liked Twisselman's class. I was definately nervous about taking a speech class, but the atmosphere she creates in class ease the nerves. She is very encouraging and knows what she is talking about. Easy class. Take her if you have the chance

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: C General Ed 11:32 am, Feb 7, 2008 Report Evaluation		Sheree is entertaining and can teach. A typical speech class, I guess. Nothing particularly fantastic or terrible about her.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 10:52 pm, Jan 2, 2008 Report Evaluation		Dr. Trisselman is a very nice lady. She is really into her subject and it is obvious she enjoys teaching public speaking. She is clear about what she wants and makes sure you are prepared for each speech. The only thing I didn't like about her was the fact that she rambles on and on about previous speeches, which can get rather annoying. Other than that though, she is very nice and is a good teacher. If you are having trouble with a speech, go to her office hours and she will be absolutely thrilled to help you.



SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 2:23 pm, Feb 10, 2007 Report Evaluation		Sheree is a really fun and sweet lady. She really cares about the students doing well. The speeches are very open-ended, and she is really respectful of everyone

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 3:46 pm, Jan 13, 2007 Report Evaluation		Outstanding Professor for this class that i was dreading. Nothing to fear. Only 4/5 speeches for the quarter. Grade is based on your speeches. Tests and other assignments were like free points. lecture could get a bit long but take her in the morning. She's a morning person and will keep everything alive. Favorite teacher so far.

SCM 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 2:26 am, Dec 26, 2006 Report Evaluation		She's nice. She's bubbly. But the class itself is only useful for two things: how to prepare a speech and a little bit of practice in front of peers. However, she could have made it a lot more interesting by talking about topics you can choose more than the divisions and definitions of a specific kind of speech because i am sure no one cares a bit about that and will not remember it. Advice? Get her to like you!

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 6:41 pm, Aug 18, 2006 Report Evaluation		After a few horrible incidents with GE teachers I was very hesitant to take speech and wind up with yet another impossibly hard instructor. But Twisselman made my spring quarter, she s friendly, personable, down to earth, and very fair in her grading. I actually looked forward to speech. Kids that complained about her or their grades were the kids who showed up having written their speeched on the way to class, just do the simple requirements she asks of you for your speeches and a good grade will come easy. There is also a very easy mid-term and final, which she practically walks you through the class before. Take her for sure, enjoyable class and enjoyable teacher.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 11:29 am, Mar 30, 2006 Report Evaluation		Her lectures can be boring and consist of her telling stories about her children, but she is a pretty good teacher. She is a lot better than horror stories i have heard of other speech professors. Make sure you cite the required number of sources during your speech.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 4:57 pm, Mar 15, 2006 Report Evaluation		she is a nice teacher. i would recommend her, she does like to hear herself talk. but speech is easy for me so i thought the class was super easy. i would have got an easy a if i would have tried at all on anything besides the speeches. btw this is important... follow the instructions she gives you for the speeches. if she says she wants 3 sources cited then do it, she tells you exactly what she wants but for some reason students wouldnt do it.



SOC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A Elective 8:38 pm, Feb 5, 2006 Report Evaluation		Let's face it, speech is a GE everyone dreads but I lucked out getting Twisselman. She's nice, personable, very approachable if you ever have problems, and clear in her lectures. You have three speeches, she grades very fairly, an easy midterm and final, and lectures. The lectures are alittle dull, but directly from the tests. Best of all she's a great teacher for all the aggies, she's a cowgirl like me and that gave me something to connect with her about.

HNRS 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 7:53 pm, Jan 8, 2006 Report Evaluation		She is a reasonably good teacher, although I found her a bit unprofessional at times, especially in the beginning. She made fun of us for being honors students and caring about our grades. She takes some getting used to, but if you give it time, you can learn a lot from her. She is a good speaker with a lot of experience, and she does care about her students. Especially if you go to her office hours to ask for help or run a speech idea by her, you will find her very supportive. The best part of the class was getting to know the other people in my class. You get to pick your speech topics, so you get to learn a lot about your classmates through their speeches. It wasn't my favorite class, but it turned out better than I expected.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B Required (Support) 2:19 pm, Jan 4, 2006 Report Evaluation		She likes to hear herself speak which can get a little annoying, and she enjoys telling you her personal experiences and stories which are actually not interesting. She prefers boys over girls but does give good advice on delivery and presentation. She loves ranching, 4H and ag students so if you're CLA you're screwed. She pitys some people and is a hard ass to others. The outside speech analysis is pretty easy if you apply some key words and structure it according to her guidelines its a breeze. the 5 speeches you give are pretty simple and she gives a lot of room to chose your own topic and how you want to present it. The only major problem is she's biased and does pick favorite students.

HNRS 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 10:43 pm, Jan 3, 2006 Report Evaluation		You can tell she enjoys her topic and teaching which is nice. She does attempt to make the class as fun and interesting as it can be. I'm not 100% sure she is truly unbiased in grading so be careful on your topics. Overall a goo teacher and I would recomend her.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 10:39 am, Dec 13, 2005 Report Evaluation		Twisseleman is a great teacher. The work load for scom 101 is a lot less than other teachers, the tests are pretty easy (mostly common sense), there were 3 main speeches and 2 speeches worth very few points. There was one paper, 4-5 pages double spaced, on a speech you have to analyze outside of class, but she grades leniently on it. Just don't go over the time length for your speeches and you'll do fine in her class.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B Required (Support) 1:58 pm, Nov 28, 2005 Report Evaluation		Twisseleman is overall a pretty good teacher. She does a good job of making a boring subject somewhat enjoyable. She is very very good at letting students speak about whatever they want to. She does not ever force her opinion on topics and she does not edit speeches. Speech is a rather boring subject, but Twisseleman can make it a little better. The final and one mid term are not heavily weighted at all, but you better be a good speaker if you want a decent grade. Getting an A is almost impossible, but I would recommend taking Twisseleman.



SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: N/A General Ed 12:25 am, Nov 8, 2005 Report Evaluation		there are 2 small speeches and 3 major ones . the first one is an introduction speech of 1-2 minutes about yourself. it is given on the second day of class. another one, is a 2-3 minute speech about a topic that you draw from a hat. that one is given one week after the intro speech. the next one is an informative speech. you get to pick the topis as long as you have enough info to talk about for 5-6 minutes. the next one is a persuasive speech. she makes you pick a controversial issue that has to be 6-7 minutes. the last one is a business speech that's 5-6 minutes long. she assigns which days you go tog ive your speeches. for the 3 major speeches, she requires you to make a formal outline. you do a peer evaluation for the informative and persuasive speeches and then a self evaluation for your informative speech. she lets you use noes, but it has to be only one page or she'll mark you down terribly. then there is an outside speech analysis. this is where you attend some event that there is a formal speech given. you write a 4 page paper about it and you have to use techniques learned in class. there is outside reading to do. the first month, you read a lot. you read ch 1-14 of the textbook and then you are given a midterm on those chapters. then you read chapters 15 & 16. the final only covers those two chapters. the reading is easy and mostly common sense. midterm was okay. i got a C- on it. i did excellent on the multiple choice (32/35) but the free response, was harder. i knew most of it, but she graded a little hard. okay that was the class curriculum. now is the other stuff; she takes roll everyday. you can only have 2 absents before she marks you down. she tends to be VERY boring during the lectures. she talks way too much. sometimes she never knows when to stop talking. she always tell us about her lame personal experiences. and she tells us at least twice mainly because she forgot that she already told us before. most of the time, we get out of class 2-3 miuntes late because she doesn't stop talking.

SPC 100 Senior Grade Earned: N/A General Ed 2:12 pm, Jul 2, 2005 Report Evaluation		This is a lame site. The comments are statistically insignificant. Most comments lack basic grammar and spelling skills.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 8:33 pm, Mar 24, 2005 Report Evaluation		This teacher is really boring! She's a fair grader, but seems to prefer boys over girls. She is also really into ranching and the the ag department. She really encourages you to go to office hours, and I strongly suggest you go because if you don't she won't get to know you. You have to do about 4 main speeches and an introductory speech, and also a paper. She is a nice person, but her lectures drag on for ever!!! She also counts attendance so definately go to class.

SCM 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 1:54 pm, Feb 12, 2005 Report Evaluation		Twisseleman is a pretty good teacher. She presents the material well, and her tests are a breeze. If you take the class get the CD's with the book, in the CD's there are study questions, they are probably about 90% of the test, word for word. She does tend to be a little sexist, but its nothing that will stop you from getting a decent grade. She loves power point presentations and she loves ag stuff! If i had speech again, i would probably take her.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 12:44 pm, Dec 21, 2004 Report Evaluation		Do not take twisseleman at all costs! she is a bad teacher, her class is unbelievably boring and by the end of the term our whole class stopped coming. She belongs at a high school, because she takes role every day and talks so much about random stories and happenings in her life. Her class sucked a lot. She also doesn't grade you on your speech as much as your mechanics and outline. She doesn't consider your style or anything else besides the her main two criteria. If she doesn't like your speech topic you have no chance of getting a decent grade on it because she is like that. Her class sucks and I would avoid it if possible

SPC 101 Senior Grade Earned: N/A General Ed 8:45 pm, Dec 6, 2004 Report Evaluation		I expected that this course would be a breeze since I don't really have a problem with public speaking, but Twisselman is very nit picky when it comes to grading speeches. Don't ever miss your speech date cause she'll give you this mean vibe for the rest of the quarter even if you make it up. She also takes roll every single class session!!!! I hate roll, its like high school all over again. I felt like I had senior-itis and had to drag myself to class - ontime, so I wouldn't be marked absent, cause after two absences your grade starts to drop. I would recommend another professor if you have the option.



SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 9:41 am, Nov 12, 2004 Report Evaluation		Sheree is quite something. Her tests are really easy. I didn't even read the book nor take notes on the lectures and I still got an A. However, the way she grades the speeches is stupid. She has a scale that doesn't incorporate your speeches creativity and overall success. She only focuses on which form you used (structure) and if you have visual aids. She is kind of dumb. You have to use very elementary diction and repeat what you say to make sure she understands it. And if she doesn't, then automatically, your grade gets lowered because you were too "subtle." If you want to get an A in this class, just be a robot and do everything as she says, even if it seems retarted to you. I discovered this soon enough, and now I pass the word. She's blonde; slow down.

SPC 101 Sophomore Grade Earned: B General Ed 2:50 pm, Nov 5, 2004 Report Evaluation		This woman isn't a bad teacher to take, really. I got a pretty easy B, but she's just stupid. I only did 2 of the four speeches, I got a C on the midterm and I deffinetly didn't do so hot on the final, and I was able to talk my way into a B. She's really guilable. Oh, and the speeches i did do, she graded really weird. Make sure that you use a visual aid. All you have to do to convince her that you are a good speaker is memorize like two minutes of speech to avoid notes and have pretty pictures to show, and she's treating you like you cured cancer. Just be prepared that she doesn't have much underneath that hillbilly-cattle-raising ten-gallon hat of hers

SCM 101 Sophomore Grade Earned: B General Ed 12:08 pm, Aug 3, 2004 Report Evaluation		Caution! I took Sheree because of her good polyrating. I thought that the class was terrible. I went every single day so im not getting mad because i never went and got screwed. No matter how hard you try, you will get screwed if: you are a guy, you are not into serious ag stuff, if you glance at your notes, if you dont glance at your notes, plus many more. She is very hard to read in what she wants. PLus it seems like every speech topic has to do with her somehow. Take at your own risk. I got a B but i was upset because i busted my ass!

SCM 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 4:35 pm, Apr 8, 2004 Report Evaluation		Sheri is the sweetest lady every! Her energy and spunk make you enjoy coming to class. The class consists of four speeches, which really aren't that difficult if you put effort into them. She is always more than willing to help anyone who has a question. Like I said, she has such a cute personality! If you have to take scom 101, definately go with Sheri!

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 1:42 am, Apr 8, 2004 Report Evaluation		i don't know why we have to take this class, because the lecture didn't teach me anything. all i gained from this course was to learn to speak more confident and present material more clearly. the lectures were boring because she just talks about stuff that's obvious on do's and don'ts. pick a topic she will like and you'll definitely get a boost on ur grade. she's pretty stupid and make sure you dont' go against what she thinks is right. prefers girls over guys, cows over booze, food over drugs, babies/kids over ...wutever. she did her thesis on self revealing, so if you wanna suck some buns, say something personal during ur speech.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 2:04 pm, Mar 25, 2004 Report Evaluation		She is a sweet woman. She is full of energy and her class in not a chore to go to. There were 4 speeches, a midterm, and a final. The tests were not too hard, though there was a lot of reading for the first one. My advice is to do well on the first couple assignments and get on her good side. I think she is one of those profs who decided the grade you deserve in the first few weeks and just gioves it to you no matter what you actually do. I would definitley take her class again.



SCM 101 Freshman Grade Earned: C General Ed 12:12 pm, Mar 23, 2004 Report Evaluation		This teacher was the worst teacher I have yet to have.....In my life. She is one of those feminist nazzis who believes that the only way is her way. Ok heres what the class consists of: A few lectures where you take notes, a midterm over 14 chpts, a few more notes, and a final.....oh and how could I forget the 4 speeches. So first speech I get a C, thought it was just nerves or what not, second speech even lower, third even lower. The only thing I can conclude is that this lady did not like me. Sheree, its fucking speech 101. This lady talks about herself every min of the class, which in itself is enough reason not to take her. I got a 98 percent on the midterm and put 6 hours of prep into each speech, take a look at my grade though C+....hmmm is there something wrong here? Do whatever you can to not take her....unless you are a chick, then you are golden....especially if you are a chick who likes cows and that type of shit because as you will find out the Twisseleman's are one of the most highly involved families in the Agriclulture Business today (cough cough bullshit).

SPC 101 Sophomore Grade Earned: B General Ed 1:06 pm, Feb 19, 2004 Report Evaluation		This lady is so dumb. She grades so hard and expects us to give perfect speechs even though no one in the class has ever given one before. She gives all the girls really good grades and gives all the guys bad grades. Her lectures are so stupid and pointless and you have to go because attendence means a lot in the class. Her grading scale sucks, she sucks, her class sucks, i recommend staying away. You can't win with her!

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 7:40 pm, Feb 18, 2004 Report Evaluation		I thoroughly enjoyed this class. I had been dreading taking speech, and this class was so much better than I had thought it would be. There is quite a bit of work: four speeches, a four page paper, and two one page papers. BUT it is so worth it!! I learned so much, and got over my fear of speaking. And to top it all, Ms. Twisseleman is an amazing teacher. In my opinion, she covered the material very well, was very understanding with any problems or questions we had, and ultimately prepared us for public speaking. She was very friendly and fun. I Definitely recommend taking Professor Twisseleman.

SCM 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 12:02 am, Jan 21, 2004 Report Evaluation		Ms. Twiss is definately one of those teachers who respond to ass kissing. If you get on her good side right away, you're set. It seemed like everyone always got the same grade on each speech as they had before, no matter if their speech was really good or really bad. I think she grades the person more than the speech. So like I said, get on her good side. Other than the speeches, the class really isn't that difficult. There is a midterm and a final, but they are both pretty easy, and there are a couple papers to write (a few 1-2 pages and one 4-5 page). You have to give 4 speeches, one on an object you draw out of a hat (2-3 mins), an informative (3-5 mins), a persuasive (5-7 mins), and a career speech (5-6 mins). You can choose to speak on whatever you want, so the time parameters really aren't bad. The book really isn't that important, but the CD that goes along with the book is actually helpful. I studied for her tests by doing the quizzes on the CD and I did fairly well on both of the tests.

SPC 101 Senior Grade Earned: B General Ed 7:35 am, Jan 5, 2004 Report Evaluation		Ok kids - here's the trick: be an aggie, and you'll pass her class no problem, regardless of your evident speech difficulty, lack of basic grammar, or overall incoherency. She grades everyone else real damn hard - no matter how you thought you did, it doesn't match up to her political experience in her years as Paso Robles city council member, or something...but I did come out with a B, so maybe she's fair at the end. Who knows. Remarkably mediocre professor, overall.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 10:29 pm, Jan 4, 2004 Report Evaluation		Don't get a notebook for the class. You'll take about 10 pages of notes the whole quarter. She lectures a few times, and the rest is spent listening to speeches. I dreaded the lectures, but she takes roll every day and it is part of your grade, so don't miss too many days. Make sure that your visual aids are good, she likes the powerpoint stuff as long as it doesn't take away from your speech. The biggest and most important thing when giving your speech is charisma. She will not give you a good grade if you don't make it sound good. Be energetic and practice your speech before you give it so that you don't mess up while you are giving it. Make a lot of eye contact with her and the audience, she likes that. You don't really need to read much of the book. She takes most of the questions from the notes. Be sure that you know the communication model. Pretty easy class, just make sure you go, and WOW her with your enthusiasm.



SCM 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 11:31 pm, Dec 25, 2003 Report Evaluation		There are three big speeches which consist of 65% of your grade. Prepare well for these because there really isn't much work to do besides the speeches. Also, she doesn't like people going overtime and tends to dock a lot of points for it.

SCM 101 Freshman Grade Earned: C General Ed 4:31 pm, Dec 17, 2003 Report Evaluation		This class is fairly easy. I reccomend the four hour block on Wednesday's, it gives you more time to prepare for your assignments and it's nice to only have to worry about a class once a week. I know my grade was poor, but I am not very good at speaking in front of a lot of people I don't know. She has a very strict format for speeches, which I found weird, she docks huge points if you don't do the speech exactly the way she likes. For the Wednesday class, we had an introductory speech for no points, a random speech about an object, an informative speech, a persuasive speech, and our final was an impromptu speech which for me was hell, but heaven for many people. You also have to do 2 written tests which are very easy, and a few evaluations including a rather long outside speech evaluation. You can fail everything written and get an A if you do well on your speeches (well.. maybe not exactly, but you get the idea). I personally wouldn't reccomend her because she is so strict... but a lot of people do like her.

SCM 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 4:30 pm, Dec 4, 2003 Report Evaluation		Professor Twisselman was a pretty good professor. Seeing as how this class was one of my first classes at Cal Poly, she did a pretty good job representing the school. The speeches are pretty fair. Nothing is too long or overly involved. Class participation is a must. She will try to learn everyone's name, and she's pretty good at it. I think I knew the names of everyone in the class by the end of the quarter. The impromptu speech was probably the most difficult because you basically have to come up with the whole speech on the spot, but this one doesn't come until the end, so you should be fairly well prepared for it. There are only two tests. Study hard for the first one because it covers the most material. The second one isn't as important and only goes over two chapters. She made us do outside speech evaluations which weren't hard, but they were time consuming because you had to find a speech to listen to. The peer evaluations took a fair amount of time. I didn't really see the point. They're basically a "mutual admiration society"-type of thing. One other thing is that she really knows how to lecture. If we didn't have speeches to give, she would lecture for two hours straight. I don't know how she did it. I fell asleep a few times. Other than that, she's a good teacher for the subject. I would recommend her.

SPC 101 Senior Grade Earned: A General Ed 11:12 am, Aug 13, 2003 Report Evaluation		This professor is great to have for speech. I was one of those seniors who waited until the last minute to take this class. On top of that I was enrolled in the 4 hour Wednesday night section. Dr. Twisseleman does a great job of presenting material in a way that is helpful to students and she really tries to encourage everyone where they are in the speaking skills. It is difficult to get an A in the class but if you put effort into your speech and take her suggestions she will reward you in the grading. There's a lot of reading in the beginning but tests are cake. There are 3 speeches and she had our 4 hour section do an impromptu at the end (which means no preparation ahead of time). I definitely recommend this professor.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A Required (Support) 4:04 pm, Apr 6, 2003 Report Evaluation		Mrs. Twisselman did a great job as a speech teacher. Although the class was more work then other classes I could have taken, she was worth it. I had the class for 4 hours on Wednesday, and really the classes just flew by. I think we only had 2 classes where Sheree had to lecture because we always had to do speeches. She has a very fair grading system, but once again she does require a lot more work then most speech teachers. Just having a class that was only once a week though, was worth the extra bit of work, plus Sheree was a lot of fun.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: C General Ed 1:54 pm, Apr 1, 2003 Report Evaluation		She is a pretty good teacher and her class isnt boring except for when you have to hear some of the speeches but thats not her fault. The class consists of 4 graded speeches, a midterm, some evaluations of your speeches and classmates speeches, one 5 page outside speech evaluation, and a final. The evaluations arent really that hard and as long as you do them you get a grade. The exception is the 5 page outside speech evaluation which is worth 15 percent of the final grade. The one thing I would warn about is going overtime on your speech. It happend to me twice and thats why i got a C+ instead of a B+ or an A-. DONT GO OVERTIME!! If you go undertime the penalty wont be nearly as much. Overall it was a pretty good class and teacher.



SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 3:56 pm, Mar 25, 2003 Report Evaluation		She was a great professor, and was willing to help out. One of my gripes was that it took her a long time to give back assignments, and sometimes to read her e-mail. You have to do an outside speech evaluation which isn't bad, but just make sure it is error free, because she will be picky about typos, etc. The speeches consist of an object speech (a topic that you pick out of a hat), informative speech, persuasive speech, career speech. My biggest hint is to think about topics in advance, and get it done early, and rehearse it a lot! Good luck.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 3:13 pm, Mar 25, 2003 Report Evaluation		Professor Twissleman is a really nice lady and she is easy to talk to. As far as teaching is concerned she is just average and does not present the material that well. She never tells you what will be on the test, you just have to read like 15 chapters and try to guess what is important. But, the tests arent that hard. She is an extremely hard grader on the speeches, and looks for every single mistake, but at least she is understanding that public speaking is difficult.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: C General Ed 12:42 am, Mar 4, 2003 Report Evaluation		She is way chill. The material is presented clearly but it does get boring after two hours of lecture. She knows what she's talking about and she can relate to the students well. The only reason why I got a bad grade in the class was because of my lack of ability to write and to give speeches in front of others.

SCM 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 8:36 pm, Feb 27, 2003 Report Evaluation		Professor Twisseleman is a really great professor who is not only enthusiastic about about public speaking but she is very encouraging towards her students. We had to give a total of five speeches: one was sort of an impromptu speech that is made the first day, the second is an objective speech with an assigned topic, and for the informative speech, the persuasive speech, and the career speech, you get to chose your topic. There is also a 4-5 page paper on an outside speech, which sounds bad but is really quite easy. We had a midterm and a final on the chapters in the textbook. Professor Twisseleman gives great feedback on speeches and grades fairly. I definitely recommend taking her because she really helps you improve on communication skills.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 12:24 pm, Feb 25, 2003 Report Evaluation		Mrs. Twisselman was an awesome teacher for speech. Most of the grade in the class was based on an object, informative, and persuasive speech so if you did well on speeches you could do well in the class. We had a midterm and a final that together were only 15% of the grade so it is good if you are not a great test taker. There was one other main assignment (an outside speech analysis) and some peer/self evaluations for speeches, but most of class was spent doing speeches. For those of us who are not too comfortable with public speaking Mrs. Twisselman was really good at making the classroom a comfortable speaking environment so it wasn't too scary. After speeches she really tried to give you positive feedback as well as constructive criticism and to get the class involved. She does take roll though so it is important to go to class.

SCM 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 1:01 am, Feb 4, 2003 Report Evaluation		She was a nice lady and meant well, but I thought she graded unfair and kind of randomly for the speechs. We only had to give 5 speechs,but also had to do a paper and a midterm and final. Some of her lectures got really boring. She gives you a paper on how she grades the speeches, but some people would have a horrible speech, but do one thing great and get an A. It seemed like nothing was good enough for her. It helps though if you go to office hours.



SCM 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 7:52 am, Dec 25, 2002 Report Evaluation		Sheree is a good speech teacher, however you should be forwarned that the class moves along very slowly. No matter how much you may love speech and speech related topics, you will be bored. However, from what I heard from friends, she sounds like she is the best to take 101 from. The midterm is the only test that matters, and it is straight from the book (only time you will even need to open it). Don't expect to take more then 5-7 pages of notes the whole quarter, most of the time you are watching speeches. She loves it when you use multimedia (assuming you are in a room equipped for it), so try to incorporate powerpoint or something and you will get a much better grade on your speech. She knows her stuff but will go off on the craziest tangents about things unrelated to what she it talking about for like 10 min. She's a decent teacher and grades fairly.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 2:09 am, Dec 25, 2002 Report Evaluation		First, I don't like speaking in front of groups at all, and was just trying to get through the class. Mrs. Davis (Twisselman is her maiden name) was VERY friendly and a good prof. She was enthusiastic about the topic and presented it well. The only problem is the material is deathly boring (which isn't her fault). There are five speaches: an intro, object, informative, persuasive, and impromptu. She does give good points on what to improve and if you do she will grade you higher. There are two tests (one midterm and one final) which in total account for only 15% of your grade. The worst part about the class was sitting for two hours straight listening to either lecture or speeches. It got quite boring many times and I found myself looking at the clock literally every five minutes. Oh well, it is over, the professor is awesome and I would take her if you can get her (her classes fill up fast), but sorry to say the actual subject matter (unless you are a SCOM major and love it) is quite boring.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 2:30 pm, Dec 17, 2002 Report Evaluation		This class is definitely not hard, if you don't mind speaking in front of a lot of people. The tests and book based material is incredibly easy, but the speeches are graded tough. If you do not improve in the areas Prof. Twiselman told you to in the last speech she will mark off even more points on your speech. This is not a hard class, but it can get pretty annoying if you do not like to speak in front of an audience.

SPC 101 Sophomore Grade Earned: A General Ed 11:57 pm, Aug 12, 2002 Report Evaluation		A very good teacher who had tons of energy and was always willing to help. MAKE SURE TO IMPROVE ON WHAT SHE TELLS you to improve on after each speech, you almost always get a higher grade on the next speech if you follow her simple suggestions. During speeches she makes you feel very comfortable. Tests are very straight forward and not hard at all. Besides they are worth only 15% of your whole grade. One word of caution, she "reads" her email, but never responded to mine and has an email address different from a cal poly one. So just go to her office if you need to talk to her and get help, she will work with you and make it much much easier. Overall the best speech teacher if you can get her, but her class's are ALWAYS the first to fill....

SPC 101 Junior Grade Earned: B General Ed 12:26 pm, Jun 21, 2002 Report Evaluation		I had one, and only one real problem with Sheree's class, and it was a problem beyond her control. The course was schedualled from 4-8, once a week. A four hour class is harsh, no matter WHAT it is, and I think Sheree handled it as best she could. Class was essentially 4 speeches (Object Speech, Informative Speech, Persuasive Speech, and Impromptu Speech), and a written Speech Evaluation. Pretty simple, and Sheree was really nice about helping you out on your own time. I would have liked more feedback on our speeches, but we were always running late anyway, and as I said, if I had really wanted it, I could just go to office hours. Overall, her class was a lot of fun, even if it was four hours long. Everyone got to know each other, and we all had fun. I'd definetly suggest taking this professor when you have to take SCOM 101.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 5:39 pm, Jun 7, 2002 Report Evaluation		She is a very nice lady that presents the material well. She is very down to earth in her office hours, and is open to suggestions if you want to improve your grade. Take her!



SPC 201 Senior Grade Earned: C General Ed 10:23 pm, Feb 21, 2002 Report Evaluation		I was just looking on this and saw the ratings, which are mostly true. I had her for class way back in 98 and she really didn't help you too much with what you could improve on your speeches besides an evaluation and and peer reviews, your grade was already set. She seemed like she graded tough. I remeber I had to give one about my career when I was a Freshman I had no clue what I wanted to do. I was in Social Science now I'm Accounting go figure. I took the class before Eng 114 and Critical Thinking 125, don't take the class out of order. I guess it's Eng 134 now and the speech class is a 101 class.

SPC 101 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 12:30 am, Dec 20, 2001 Report Evaluation		A terrific class. Sheree was easy to talk to and very clear in conveying her message. She gave us 5 speeches: intro (1-2 minutes), object (2-3 minutes), informative (5-7 minutes), persuasive (6-8 minutes), and business presentation (5-7 minutes). We also had a midterm, self and peer evaluations, and a paper on an outside speech. She grades very fairly and writes useful comments on papers. If you can get a speech class, get it with Sheree!

SCM 101 Freshman Grade Earned: B General Ed 10:17 pm, Dec 11, 2001 Report Evaluation		This class was great. Mrs. Twisseleman made this class very interesting and easy to understand. Study hard for the 1 midterm, because its hard to get an A on. Although the speech grades are not so hard to get an A. I truely enjoyed this class!!

SPC 201 Sophomore Grade Earned: A General Ed 9:22 am, Aug 21, 2001 Report Evaluation		she is a very good teacher. i mean, to give a speech to a full audience can be difficult but she will give you good tips on how to speech well when giving a speech and she will help you with choosing a topic for your speech if you are stuck. she is a fairly young woman, who is energetic and friendly. i'd definitely recommend her!

SPC 201 Sophomore Grade Earned: A General Ed 10:41 am, Mar 2, 2000 Report Evaluation		Sheree only lectured for about 4 or 5 classes. The rest of the time the students gave speeches. The speeches are: ice-breaker (1-2 min), informative (5-7), persuasive (6-8), and career (5-7). There is one multiple choice midterm. If you pay attention in class, and do the reading, the midterm is incredibly easy. The final is only worth 5% of your grade. My recommendation is to NOT let your speeches go over the time allotted. It's a miracle if you can get into a SPC 201 class, but if you actually have a choice, Sheree isn't a bad one. She is always very upbeat and happy to be in class. She also offers a lot of encouragement to put you at ease.
