You use the textbook but skipping class will get you a bad grade. Booker is so funny and straight up with everyone, she does not play! Booker does about four main assignments that must be presented to the class. If you are shy, she will give you feedback and you will eventually do better throughout the semester.

Professor Booker was the best speech teacher ever. On the first day, it seems like she's mean so people could drop her class. However, when she sees that you're not intimidated, she treats you like her own child. Just don't be late and respect everyone in her class.
