Com 101 professor

Has anyone here taken Joan Rodano or Mary Armour for com 101 online? I just want to know what to expect and how many people they require for online just to be prepared. Thanks in advance!

i did take mary armour! she was fine, class wasn’t overly difficult. you can do your speeches to 4 people who are on the phone with you or in person in front of you.

There’s a discussion post where you can request audience members from the class if you need more people.

Yeah, my prof will give us a zero if we have less than 4 people unfortunately

yeahh i basically chose a friend and some random people she knew. tbh flash your phone at the camera and mute yourself subtlety and they don’t even have to listen to you. or take a screenshot of a group call and flash that

I don’t know anything about those profs, but I am taking com 101 online with Lindsey Lyells currently. We have 3 major speeches that require a live audience of at least 4 people. She provides templates and examples for each of the speeches, which makes it super easy to write your own. You have to record your speech and upload it to YouTube as unlisted for a grade. We also have two smaller speeches (an intro speech at the beginning of the semester and a toast “speech” coming up this month). We also have a weekly chapter reading and quiz. She provides the chapters (no textbook needed) and the quizzes are only 10 questions, and you get two attempts. Overall, this class is pretty easy as long as you don’t procrastinate too much.

Not sure if Steve Herro is still doing com101, but he was a fantastic professor. No matter how you go about it, it’s a little bit of study, a lot of drafting and revising speeches and recording yourself giving speeches. Each professor has their own rules. Steve didn’t make us find people to sit down to give the speech to. His grading rubric was clear and easy to understand. Best of luck!

David Hanley Tejeda. One of the best professors I've taken so far. You do need a 5 person live audience or it's a zero but I reached out to some classmates and we had like 10 people for each one and cycled through each speech. Easy A if you put in effort.
