I haven't taken it here, but I hear credible complaints. Is it UW's worst "program"?
Complaints:
1. Make you follow very specific speech formula, and if you loose points for not following it to the teeth, even if you have a wonderful and effective speech
2. Having a great speech, but getting a 70% on it. Or the teacher not giving you useful criticism explaining her low grade when they she seemed to give you only positive comments
3. being controlled by a higher power to deduct points so the majority of the class has a C?
---> if so, does this reflect the class well? Really, a class that the entire school is required to take, and they make it hard in an arbitrary way. Is/Should the outline really be more valuable than the speech?
4. Not that it's impossible to get an A in the class, but you just have give a very standard speech.
Regardless, I'm glad I took my speech class somewhere else. I saw the speech workbook= :(
