I loved having Cady as a professor! She is understanding, patient, and you can tell that she is passionate about wanting her students to succeed. We usually did not have homework, and when we did, it was just to read a few chapters from the books for the class. I definitely spent more time preparing for this class when we had speeches, but besides that, it was a pretty low time commitment. We had 4 speeches that focused on different things each time—storytelling, 5-day challenge, persuasion, and one where you could talk about any lesson you’ve learned. I’d recommend going to office hours to practice your speech or go over any questions you have before a presentation. The class is small, so it can be hard to snag a spot unless you’re a fourth-year, but the upside to this is that it’s less intimidating to practice public speaking skills. This class definitely helped me feel more confident in talking in front of groups.
