Very laid back and easy class if you do all the assignments. Test are taken straight from the book . I used the reference book from the library and got an A- also final exam comes straight from test. I did my projects from my own camera. Lab is creepy and time consuming

Mr. Dawson is a fabulous teacher. He allows creativity and genuinely cares about his students. Really nice guy. Speech 1 was an easy class-- 4 speeches, 6 take-home quizzes, and an easy final. save your quizzes to study for the final, and do your speeches on time! great class, i highly recommend him.

Dawson is the man!Very helpful,easy,and fun.Dont take this class in the spring because this B**** named Gail Fetzer is gonna teach it,I dont recommend taking it with her at all.Be prepared because you have to complete 32 internship hours,so if your really busy i dont recommend.Really easy and fun class.No complaints what so ever. TAKE DAWSON!

Amazing professor! Really knows his stuff, and as someone who was deathly afraid of speak in front of a group of people, I now feel very confident. His class has been one of the most useful classes I have ever taken. Take home quizzes and one final. Easy A.

Good teacher; funny, interesting and fairly easy to get a good grade from. Just show up, do what you're supposed to and study for the quizes, and you'll get an A.

This guy is great! Great teacher and great person. Knows the material very well and will make it very enjoyable. Very fun class. Almost entirely straight lecture, but knows how to keep the students involved. Tests are very straight forward, and the final has the same questions as his tests. You'll have fun and learn a lot - take this class!

he is one of the most interesting professors ever. He teaches in a way that you remember all the information very easily. Probably one of the few really really good professors at smc. He gives out assignments and tests but is very clear on what you need to do to earn an A. Just follow directions and enjoy a great class.

Awesome class! 3 speeches and a bunch of take home quizzes that you'd have to be stupid to fail because you HAVE THE BOOK!
