Comment:
Not very approachable professor, personally didn't exude the type of professor that cares for his students. Although he's a stickler for the rules, attendance is optional. No work load or homework whatsoever and speeches are minimum. Also makes it hard to get an A though only being given 5 graded assignments. Would not recommend.

Dr. Wilbanks is a good professor in the sense that he grades fairly and will offer advice if you ask questions. I wish that he would post grades on Blackboard. Make sure to attend class as most of the assignments and quizzes will use the material given during the lectures.

Comment:
Professor Wilbanks is an okay professor. He knows his stuff and has a desire to teach the class. But because of his extensive background teaching it, he makes the class much more difficult than it needs to be. I only gave 5 speeches all semester, 3 being 3 minutes or less. Class is lecture heavy. Gives two tests and the class did poorly on both.

He's a nice man. The class starts out seeming really simple but as it goes along the assignments and due dates become extremely confusing. He also posts a class schedule but doesn't follow it at all. He doesn't give a lot of feedback and the atmosphere is very uncomfortable to give speeches in.

He's a good guy. He seemed to understand difficulties with the anxiety aspects of public speaking. I feel like he gets a harder time than he deserves. If you put in some level of effort that would probably be different. i was really apathetic and barely attended but he still gave me a better grade than I deserved, so don't judge him too quick

For some reason i really liked professor Wilbanks, he seems like such a nice little man. He is always ready to help, and he is a really easy grader too.

Show up to class and do the assignments and you'll get an A easily. He's not a tough grader at all and he's a nice man and very helpful if you have questions. Not the most interesting class but if you have to take it take WIlbanks.

What an annoying little man. Attendance is mandatory, b/c quite frankly, no one would show up otherwise. He gives pointless, easy quizzes every day just to take attendance --EVEN online ones, on days when he cancels class. Yet, if you have the book, you have everything he will ever say. He's useless. Just tolerate him and do what your TA says.Easy.

Comment:
He only "teaches" lecture classes, if that, so you don't have to suffer him too much. He is so confusing and the things he talks about you could learn about on your own. I don't see why he bothers making people come to his class but he does. The quizzes are easy, but your grade really depends on your TA. Take him- it's good nap time.

Professor Wilbanks is precious and definately a nerd! He has alot of experience in debate and knows his stuff. He was a very easy grader, BUT I, and alot of others in the class, really didn't know what's was expected. Test are easy and right out of the book! He says attendence is mandatory but I didnt come all that much and still made an A.

Not too bad, only about four speeches or so, none of which he expects you to "memorize." The midterm was thorough, but the exam was mostly application and pretty easy.

Don't take over the summer, hardly anyone got an A in a class that should have had almost all A's. Very dull speaker trying to teach about public speaking.
