I took her communication and gender class and earned a B+ even thought I've taken three women's studies courses before. She's trying to make a class that is inherently not difficult something that is difficult to do well in. I would not recommend taking her class, the grade you receive will be an inaccurate representation of what you learn.WMNS2304 2019-04-29 17:27:32 +0000 UTC
While she gives good feedback on speeches, the lectures don't give much useful knowledge. She makes an effort to help outside class when needed and has fun exercises in class. However, I don't think my public speaking was improved with her. Not an awful class, but I'm still very uncomfortable with public speaking and didn't learn much.COMM1112 2018-10-30 21:39:43 +0000 UTC
such a great public speaking professor!COMM1112 2018-10-22 16:17:07 +0000 UTC
Deya is honestly a sweetheart. She is tough, but gives good feedback and there is always room for improvement. Her feedback is always constructive and well-put. I feel like my public speaking improved so much while taking this class. She also made this class as fun as possible and I enjoyed going to it every day! If you try, you'll do well.COMM1112 2018-04-09 22:54:32 +0000 UTC
Deya Roy is a great professor. I completely disagree with those who are being extremely harsh and critical. Although mandatory attendance is annoying, she is very understanding when there are circumstances. Although there is some busy work involved, it barely takes more than 20 minutes, and the speeches are easy. Take this class!COMM1112 2018-04-09 21:09:39 +0000 UTC
Not a good public speaker, even though she teaches public speaking. The feedback she gives on speeches never helps you improve, and I didn't learn anything new in her class. I wouldn't recommend her as a public speaking professor, because you won't come out a better public speaker after her class at all.COMM1112 2018-02-12 19:56:47 +0000 UTC
The lectures in this class are extremely useless however, the feedback given after delivering speeches was great. The professor is very strict about submitting work on time and there is no room for discussion about this. This class is very time consuming so be prepared to memorize speeches for up to 10 minutes without notecards.COMM1112 2018-02-01 19:35:14 +0000 UTC
