This class is really fun and easy. Professor Feramisco gives interesting, engaging, and interactive lectures. The class environment is fun and comfortable, and your public speaking and communicating skills are improved without you even noticing. Highly recommend this class.

She is so nice! The trick is to memorize your speeches so she doesn't dock you for losing track of the audience or looking at your notes too much. Don't start your speeches with "um" or "so" and participate in class. She spends a lot of time showing us videos of other speeches. There are three main speeches, one midterm debate, and one final ceremonial speech where you present and accept and award. She strictly follows her rubric and gives you the rubric beforehand. So it's really easy to tailor everything to the rubric. I learned a lot from this class, and this class is super useful and super fun. I know other professors just make you listen to them, but in this class, you have impromptu speeches with classmates so it's very engaging and interactive
