Student Evaluations: 2025 Quantitative Data

In Spring 2025, I received outstanding student feedback across both my Honors Public Relations (PUR4000H) and Fundamentals of Oral Communication (SPC1608) courses at the University of Central Florida’s Nicholson School of Communication and Media.

 

My quantitative scores consistently surpassed department, college, and university averages, reflecting my commitment to excellence in teaching.

​

  • 100% of students rated my overall effectiveness as “Excellent” in Honors Public Relations (Mean: 5.00)

​

  • 95% of students rated my overall effectiveness as “Excellent” in Fundamentals of Oral Communication (Mean: 4.95)

​

  • Perfect scores (Mean: 5.00) in the following categories:

    • Giving useful feedback on performance

    • Explaining course requirements and expectations

    • Communicating ideas and information

    • Showing respect and concern for students

"Professor Cruz is one my favorite professors I've had at UCF! She is the kind of teacher who can make every single student feel like they are her favorite. Her excitement about Public Relations is so contagious, and she works really hard to make the course content applicable to ALL her students, not just those who are PR majors. I love how interactive and engaging her classes are, and I am thankful that I got to have her as my professor."
