Mary is a great, easygoing professor. In this class you do have to give a couple presentations, but nothing to fret over. We had 2-3 papers in this class, but they were so easy. I got perfect grades on all of them. Like I said, really easy going. Her experience along with the classes' experiences make the class move so nicely. It's great to hear examples of interviews and experiences. I would recommend this class to anyone in a business related field!
Mary isn't a bad teacher, she's pretty good. Strangely we only have class about half the time. The rest are noted as "study days".This doesn't feel like a semester long course. It was also difficult meeting the requirement of getting an interview with a professional. I would say about half this class is presentations.

I am so glad I got to take her for Comm Theories...I wasn't looking forward to that class at all and figured it would drag down my GPA but now it looks like I could get an A in it.

Negative:
Pilgram is a very solid teacher. Her Speech 110 course is what an introductory speech course should be--easy, but yet challenging enough where you learn new material. If you take Pilgram for Speech 110, take it for a grade, as opposed to using the pass/fail option. This class is definitely an easy "A" if you put any effort into it at all.
