This class does not have difficult information, but 'Dr' Wilcox gives his best effort to make it challenging. His tests are not based on the book but his lectures. And don't even think about asking for help or extra credit. He does not care if you pass.

Great instructor and really knows what he's teaching. You can tell he's passionate about public speaking and it shows. Just make sure you show up, read, and actually DO your speeches and you will get a good grade. If you don't put in the effort, you won't pass. He is strict but for a good reason. Would recommend!

Comment:
If you enjoy expressing yourself or being creative in any fashion, this is not the professor for you. If you like following the letter of the law to a T then you'll do well here. Grades harshly about the detailed little things that do not matter in the real world of giving speeches. Very rude and patronizing to students. However, heknows his stuff.

Comment:
If you're passionate about public speaking he's probably a good teacher. If you just need it for your degree you might be better off with someone else. His critiques/grades are tough. If you embarrass easy, he's definitely not for you. Tends to be a bit rude and condescending. Will make a big scene in front of class if he doesn't like something.

Comment:
If you show up to class, read your assigned readings, and do your speeches it's an easy A. He's not always easy to get along with but just realize he wants what he wants the way he wants it. It's college, it's not supposed to be easy. In this class, you get what you give. Give A+ work and you'll get an A+.

He's awesome, definitely wants you to work for your grade. Has a different grading system that is more forgiving. Can make up your missed quizzes at the end of semester. You're better off doing your speeches on time than making it up another day. Attendance isn't mandatory, but you should probably show up anyway. Do your work and you'll get an A.

Participation is a key point, this professor will make you earn every grade you deserve. He will always provide feedback learning proper MLA formatting, citation, and speech fundamentals will go a long way for you. Pay attention he will not be the easiest, but you'll love him. It's no easy "A", but trust me he's worth your time to listen to.

In all honesty.. he is a wonderful teacher and is very smart. His lectures are super interesting with great stories to tie with. If you read the book you will pass his easy T/F ten question quizzes. His speech outline are really easy to do if you follow the guide.

Rude. Very rude. I missed the first week of class due to my mother being in the hospital. his response? "Doesn't matter, you should have been here anyway." Never had a professor do that before. Extremely strict.

Although I passed with an A in the class, I had to work for it. Wilcox is one of the tougher teachers I've had. Insanely high grading standard, especially when it comes to outlines. The course requirements are "all in the syllabus", so very rarely did I get help directly from him. The lectures are challenging, but appropriate. Not for the weak.

Before taking this course, I read what people put on here and I don't really agree. This class was cool, the only way you would fail is if you don't do the speeches. He requires about 4 speeches, 13 true or false quizzes, and the final was 25 questions multiple choice. He's not as bad as they say. I passed with a B

I do NOT recommend this prof! He's the sarcastic type if you know what I mean. If you get there 1 min. after class is scheduled, he will lock you out. It's hard to get an A on speeches. He is pretty precise about what he expects. If you do take his class, get good grades on your quizzes (they're easy). If you have a chance, don't take his course!

Dr. Wilcox is the greatest. I feel more comfortable giving speeches. Just make sure to do the work that's needed and that's it. The only way you can fail the class is if you don't do the work and at that point you should just drop the class. His funny in his own way which makes the class fun.

Wilcox had a strange sense of humor that I actually admired. From this class, I know how to give any kind of speech no matter the topic, time limit, or format. I've learned things in this class that have ultimately made me a much better public speaker. I appreciated Wilcox's strict teaching style because it was also reasonable. Don't be tardy!

I got an A for this class. It is not as hard as you thought. Just spend your time enough for this class, you will pass. Prepare outlines and speeches well before class, especially bibliography
