Comment:
One of the best profs I've ever had. Engaging and hilarious, while also crazy intelligent. Shows interesting and relevant speeches in class, and says weird things like "I don't give a rip snort." Papers are easy if you pay attention in class and participate. Would take again in a heartbeat. LOVE Jones.

Professor Jones is the best professor at Pepperdine. His class applies to the real world. You have no tests, unless you count take home exams, but those are just papers. While some may say this class is demanding I felt that it was incredibly fair. I ended up transferring from Pepperdine and Professor Jones still writes letters of rec for me!

SUPER passionate about the topic. OVES reagan. The class is demanding though. there is homework every day plus (2) 8 page papers (2) 5 page papers. His grader is picky. so it realy depends on who the grader is that year. But overall great class.

Dr J is great! His lectures are interesting and easy to follow. Test, while you have to study aren't anything that wasn't covered in class. You do have to work in his class since there are almost daily quizzes on the reading but it is a good class and he is a really nice person and good professor.

Dr. Jones is a great teacher! He's fun, makes jokes that he doesn't always expect you to laugh at- but that's funny in and of itself! His tests are pretty fair- this semester his final is open book and relies more on application than on memorization. I think that's great. I have recommended him to SO many people.

Dr. Jones is the sweetest professor at Pepperdine. He LOVES his students (and we love him back!) He is very understanding and passionate about COM 301, and actually makes the subject very interesting. I wish he taught every COM class!

SUCH a great professor! He's passionate about rhetoric and it comes through in his lectures. He truly cares about his students and hosts one class period at his house during the semester. The end of the year project is fun and allows students to be creative. Very easy going, understanding man.

Prof. Jones always tries to make class interesting, really enjoys what he teaches and genuinely wants his students to do well. Take good notes and you'll be fine for the tests. Daily quizes are the worst part so you have to keep up with the reading and be prepared for them.

New at this course, but good at communicating material to class. Needs more seminar style discussion. Quizes almost every day.

His tests are definitely harder than any other teacher's for speech 180 and he is a tough grader on speeches too. No matter how well I did, I always got the same grade. A nice guy, but a poor public speaker - ironic huh?

Dr. Jones is probably one of the coolest teachers at Pepperdine. I had him for freshman seminar, The Life and Public Rhetoric of Ronald Reagan, and his passion for the subject was clearly evident. We didn't have to do all that much work except for reading, and I learned a lot. Great guy!!

Dr J is a great guy- he has you over for Pizza parties. I have him for a Freshman seminar class, so I don't know how he is for anything else- but, if you want to learn to analysis rhetoric, this is the guy to take.

His tests are impossible. Take whoever coaches the speech team 'cause they always have class cancelled.
