Prof. Debes is an awesome guy! He makes sure to answer any and all questions. 3 speeches that aren't difficult as long as you follow instructions and show effort! Whatever you do, DO NOT use "fillers" as he calls them during your speeches for example: um, uh, errrr. He docks points for those. If you take his class you'll learn and enjoy COMM 101.

Three tests, three speeches, and one self-critique on your informative speech. Easy day, easy A. The book is not required. Take notes from the lecture and you will be fine.

Mr. Debes is a chill and nice professor. He's easy to talk to but constantly changes his mind about assignments, tests etc. He never sticks to the syllabus and goes on bunny trails very easily. It wasn't a terrible class, but his lectures were dull and it seemed like the tests were not based on the book, but definitely read the chapters still

COMPLETELY AMAZING PROFESSOR!! He takes his time to answer any question you have until you fully comprehend what he's saying. He has also taken A LOT of time outside of class to help you out whenever you need to. I wish he was teaching more classes, because I'd GLADLY take them.

Nice guy, but not a very good professor. His class seems like a piece of cake but the tests are hard! The only time you need the textbook is to study before exams.. I just shared with someone

Debes is a very cool guy, teaches well, makes the class interesting, and is helpful. The topics covered in class weren't too difficult yet the tests were rather hard. Be sure to attend class and take notes.

Debes is the man. Knows his stuff and all you have to do is go to class. There is no text book, but he keeps class interesting for the most part. Test are a little hard but if you study, your fine.

I absolutely love Ed, he's an awesome guy. I was definitely not looking forward to taking human comm as a night class and he made me love it. We had a really small class so we could joke around and have fun the whole time and I wished it lasted longer.

He is one of the best I have had at YCP. Very good teacher, hard tests though. No book needed. Go to class because everything that you need to know can only be gotten there. Very good sense of humor. Knows practically everything about audio production, even has great skills with video. A must if you are in MIRT.

He will lecture on the foundation of what you need to know in his class. However, his exams are based on applying what he has taught you BUT he never teaches you how to apply anything. Nice guy but not a good teacher. Avoid him if you can.

Infamous for being the world's pickiest grader, and having incredibly random and difficult tests. He's funny as hell, though, and is willing to help you, even if you're someone like me who had no prior technical experience.

Being extremely knowledgable in this subject area, Debes is always willing to help you understand what's going on. I am "technically challenged" (i just don't enjoy working with equipment) and he made all the assignments hands on, so this really helped me learn the equipment, not just learning the parts of the camera or mixer, etc. He's a great guy

Debes is the best. Period. Sure, he had a little duck-tail mullet long after Full House went off the air - but it's street cred, common.

Awesome guy! Very funny, cares about students. Informed me about internships, very helpful even outside of class. He is a tedious grader but it's worthwhile, he makes you a true professional.
