Comment:

This was not only the worst class I've ever taken, but probably the worst class ever taught in the history of American universities. This guy couldn't teach his dog how to sniff its own ass. No organization, no content, and he clearly doesn't know anything. Period. He single-handedly drove me away from this discipline. One word - suckfest.

I think that he was a great teacher. He's very funny, clear on what he wants u to do, and he's not a hard grader. I'm not sure but i think he left for the fall 2005 semester.

Really full of himself, can be REALLY grumpy. Dunno how I got an A cuz I wasnt doing that great, but apparently he just hands out A's. (For some people....) I do NOT recommend you take this class.

Comment:

The Guy is funny and he tries to make what he is teaching pretty fun and interesting, but the guy is horrible with organization and clarity of what he wants. He gives you little or no time to prepare and would NEVER return my calls and emails. He is a great person, but a lousy prof.

This guy is absolutely hilarious and he realtes well with students. I go to class just to get a good laugh. But when it comes to teaching, he's not the best. I cant imagine him actually finishschool and getting a degree. If you really wanna learn about public speaking and communication, you might wa

He is the worst teacher I've ever had. He is a **** pig. He lost our mid-term tests then found them right before the Semester ended. He has no idea how to grade,teach, and if you ask for help he just ignores you.

Horrible teacher! He is so full of himself, he believe's he's the greatest thing ever! He's cocky, and when asked how you can do better he doesn't have any help. Such a jerk!

Comment:

this was the best class i have this semester. Even though he is late and sometimes not organized, the class is the most laid back ever. He's pretty cool because he's not a stiff read-from-powerpoints teacher and relates good with his students.

Comment:

One class i enjoy going to just b/c the guy is hilarious. However no one has a clue how he grades. I got an 88 on my first speech and upon asking him how i could have improved that he said "i um...well i dont know" He's always late, teaches impromptu, and doesnt really prepare you for tests at all.

Comment:

He is a cool guy, but does not even have a syllabus. Comes to class late all the time, and is not very prepared. Also, he does not keep up with the book and chapters. Does not even tell you until a week in advance when a speech is due. I would recommend to take a different teacher.

Comment:

Pretty funny guy, likes to hear himself talk, but funny. Pretty easy grader, late sometimes, kindof unorginized, but it's not a class that you will dread going to. He makes class interesting, and for the most part, is easy to listen to.

Comment:

Not even a course syllabus, he doesn't know what he is going to talk about till he is infront of the class, he actually asks the class what the assignment was for that day. Didn't even know what chapters were on the first test. Pretty much a bull****ter.

this class was my favorite class...not hard to get an A. He's late sometimes, but he's a cool guy, and gets along with college kids well. I'd take his classes again if I had to.

I agree with a post below me.. that he most likely came on here and gave himself the good ratings. Awful teacher. And definately should be teaching highschool, not college.

Comment:

He's more like a high school teacher than college professor. And no that's not a good thing. The fact that I got an A in chemistry and a B in his class makes me want to vomit (I met 90% of his requirements). He also said that he checks this website.

Comment:

The class was easy, but he was a jerk! He never came to class on time and then would keep us 10 min over, because he was the one 10 min late. He said people should change their clocks to his time schedule! He also made bad jokes!
