He certainly teaches you how to give a speech, but he makes some people cry.

Comment:

He's an ass, but he's a very entertaining ass. One of those guys who seems to know what's going on. Even if you hate him, you'll leave the class having learned a lot about communication (Public Speaking, in my case).

Comment:

Awful professor- incredibly arrogant and totally lacking in teaching skills. He claims he's trying to get his students to think for themselves but really he just wants us to think like him. He just quotes a bunch of people who are much smarter than him and thinks that makes him profound.

Comment:

His class isn't easy or clear, but he makes you work for your own benefit. You get what you put into his classes. If nothing else, you get to learn a lot of interesting stuff from a man who's been all over, including naked Jell-O wrestling.

This man is awesome. He is like George Carlin teaching a class. He's funny and good at improving our communication skills.

Oh lord, Professor Routman is one of the most enlightening human beings I've ever met. His class is easy to get an A in, and you learn about EVERYTHING in life except, of course, science/math material (typical CASE stuff)...RECOMMENDED!

Best Prof ever!!! I'm addicted to taking his class. All the bad ratings on here are because people don't have a sense of humor, and I bet Routman would have a good laugh about them!!! Very wise and knowledgeable!
