Comment:

He gave feedback not clear enough for you to fix. He is a hard grader with format speech outlines. He may be a good teacher for native students, but I think you dont take his class if you are the 2nd language students. He is not friendly and not helpful for 2nd language students.

Comment:

I was not thrilled to take this class due to the public speaking aspect of communications, however the class turned out to be one I looked forward to attending twice a week. The lectures in class were meaningful and relevant and delivered in a humorous way that caught everyone's attention, although his style is not for everyone. Highly recommend.

Waste of time taking his class. He grades extremely hard and you dont learn much from his lectures because of him going track and rambling.

Class is straightforward, 3 speeches, 3 exams. Participation counts, so go to class. The tests are easy, he gives you the testbank for you to find the answers in the textbook. He's willing to help out with speech outlines and provides good feedback. This class was a breeze if you do the work, which REALLY isn't much to do. Take him for an easy A.

Comment:

Professor Lambros is the best in the Communications Building! He knows how to break down material so it will stick to your head, also very funny. 3 speeches throughout the semester, very easy and an outline is required when presenting which helps! The last speech I was nervous and kind of ruined my speech, yet I still received an A+, he's so nice!!

3 speeches and 3-4 tests will determine your grade. If you can't do speeches in front of a class, don't take this class. He gives you study guide for tests which you can find answers to in the textbook. Easy tests but must memorize quite a lot. Funny guy when it comes to lectures. Made me work for my A.

Professor Lambros is intelligent, enthusiastic, and very funny. He provides a study guide for each exam. Complete the study guide and you will pass the class. He notices if you miss class or leave early so don't. He assigns three papers that really get you thinking. Follow the directions precisely and it will be reflected in your grade.

Professor Lambros is amazing! he is fun and he likes to make his class laugh. He gives really good examples to explain the subject and uses stories from daily life to support his lectures. if you want to have fun in class and learn at the same time, he is the one to go. I enjoyed this class a lot and I would highly recommend him!

He's like a comedian. likes to make his class laugh, he's very funny and can be sarcastic. it was my favorite class. He can be a tough grader, but you just have to follow the directions and do exactly as he wants it. if you're indecisive about taking him, let me help you, TAKE HIM!!! :)

Comment:

-Great lectures - because it helped me remember my notes as he gave examples. - Never boring- because he is funny too -English is my second language so I did struggle with the speeches (pronunciation) - I made the mistake to use flashcards . I got a better grade when I just studied the study guide and straight from the book.

Comment:

Prof lambros class is easy to pass as long as you follow his exact instructions. Only 3 speeches and gives you plenty of time to work on them. The study guides to his test are lengthy but are exactly to what's on the test, so study all of it. As for him being a funny guy I would say sometimes, he's actually very shallow and can be rude.

John is the funniest professor on campus. Has the best stories, really chill. Follow his instructions EXACTLY and you will have no problem passing. There is no room for doing things your way. Show up, attendance matters, you'll hear some great stories so it's worth coming. His tests are hard but the study guide is literally the exam, so do them!

Comment:

He is very clear to what he expects from the speeches and the outlines, and he could tell from the start if a person prepared or did their speech last minute. He keeps his lectures entertaining, and although he gets side-tracked you could learn a lot in his lectures. Takes notes, study for tests, and prepare for the speech, and you should do fine

Comment:

I read all the great reviews and decided to take his class. He is a very tough grader! You have to meet his expectations in order to get a good grade. He can be somewhat intimidating as he can be very blunt and loud. His lectures are usually dragged out with random stories and he will never let you out of class early.

Comment:

Great sense of humor. 3 main speeches: Demonstration, Informative, and Persuasive. 2 exams and 1 final. Easy grader, just follow his instructions and you're good. His lecture goes on the entire class time, but most of the times he's joking around or telling funny stories. I would definitely take him again. He lets you come late & still get credit!

Comment:

The skinny: 3 speeches - Demonstrative, Informative, and Persuasive 2 tests & 1 final. Don't expect to be let out early. However, Prof. Lambros' lectures are interesting/entertaining and relatable, helping time to fly by fairly quickly. Use the study guides to help study for each test, do what is expected of you for your speeches, & you'll pass.
