Comment:

Frankly, one of the worst teachers I have ever dealt with. You had better hope he likes you, or that he finds you attractive, otherwise there will be absolutely no help forthcoming from him. Multiple times when I tried to reach out to him he completely ignored me, wouldn't even respond to my greeting let alone have a conversation. Truly bizarre

Comment:

I didn't really have the foggiest idea what Brad wanted for the performance reviews. I recieved an A in all of my English classes so I didn't know why I wasn't getting an A for my papers. Plus, we did a test on a video we couldn't even take notes for because it was so dark in the classroom.

Comment:

Brad is a wonderful instructor. He teaches you exactly what you need to know for your speeches. I am now a Communication major at a university and his class has prepared me much better than students who take speech 101 at the university. It should be a required class for all students at GHC.

I thought mr. Duffys grading was kind of biased but I also think he helped me out a lot in what I eventually decided to be...a lawyer

Comment:

This class was my biggest fear, once taking the class I realize I was actually quite good at it! I seriously have never been so scared to take a class until speech! It is so beneficial! Take it, you will not regret it, but work hard to get a good grade, and practice, practice, practice on your speeches!

Comment:

Formulaic teaching, distorted grading. Reminiscent of HS classes taught by the PE coach, with all the accompanying grasp of the nuances of the subjects. In spite of a test on EVERY text chapter, total value of tests is only equal to 1 of the 6 speeches. Conform to his formula in speeches or get weak grades, regardless of strength of presentation.

Students of extension sites BEWARE. This teacher not only picks favorites, he makes fun of anyone who isn't in his class in Aberdeen. Raymond, Elma, Whiteside, Naselle and Ilwaco, prepare to be treated like crap. :(

Duffy's awesome. You guys are crazy, aside from the one who got an A. I love Duffy! He's really neat and yes, he's a hard teacher, but that's only because he wants you to apply yourself.

I didn't feel that I improved much in this class. His comments to my speeches seemed to be the same every time.

After reading prior comments I think people need to grow UP...Life is harsh, and if you can't take criticism from a college instructor too BAD!!!!!!I had Duffy for Summer Quarter, and it wasn't at all hard, even though I had to speak every week...
