Told me that I needed to loose weight if I wanted a job. I am 5'8" and was 160 lbs. I reported him to the dept chair and he remained at KU for 2 more decades.

Comment:

Not your regular Prof. Challenging class. Time consuming. Very Interesting if you'r willing to take the challenge. I got an A for this class. At first that was simply imposssible, but as semester progressed I realized that if I am willing to spend some more time on it, it easy to end up with a decent grade.

Comment:

He wasn't horrible but strayed off topics and gave ridiculously hard quizzes at least twice a week. If you were a good speaker though you would pretty much get away with murder and get a C or if your lucky higher. If you were a bad speaker and didn't work your butt off then you prob. got a D or failed

Comment:

All this guy does is talk about himself. He is not a good teacher and has a quiz almost every day. I had to drop this class because it was too time consuming and almost impossible to get a C on a quiz after studying 1-2 hours. Drop this class while you can, you'll be happy you did.

Comment:

Dr. Beaven is the worst teacher I have ever had in my life. He talks down to the class. He does not actually teach. Instead he talks about God and all his "friends". He said his five year old granddaughter could do better on the quizzes then we could. He is an **** do not take his class ever. This guy needs to be fired!

Comment:

all he does is talk about himself and his friends--he hardly talks about how to actually improve your public speaking skills--he is not that great of a professor but if you do need help he is willing--if you take this class you will be videotaped when giving your speech(you have to buy the tape)and then you will have to critique yourself

Comment:

I had this teacher last fall and I dreaded going. I hate public speaking so that didn't help, but he didn't make it any better. He talks about pointless things and his quizzes are ridiculously hard. To get atleast a C I would have to study for 2 hours+ for a quiz. I had to drop it because I was failing. I wouldn't recommend him.

Demanding and hard grader. be prepared for a LOT of work: lots of quizzes, speaches and other things. I think his expectations regarding performance are too high for an intro course like this.

Comment:

He mumbles. He makes fun of youth. He talks about his rash. His tests are unreasonably hard. He will constantly tell you stories about 'a friend' of his. Do NOT take him. Dear God.

Comment:

Dr. Beaven is a pure example of a person who should of retired years ago. He does not teach to any curriculum, has us learn articles about food for COMM CLASS, and makes tests nearly impossible to pass (he curves every single time). I do not know where he gets off using this scatterbrained teaching tactic, but it is not worth taking him...ever.

If you could give out zeros through ratemyprofessor, this guy would be batting .000. Horrendous, vomit inducing. I think I can safely say that his class made me want to kill myself.

Comment:

This professor is the worst. He rambles on and on about irrelevant things. His quizzes are VERY hard and long. He doesn't grade any of the speeches that you do, except the last two. Overall, he is a bad professor and I WOULD NOT reccomend him for anyone.

Comment:

this man is by far the worst teacher on the planet. hes weird looking and creepy. he is the worst public speeker and all he does is talk about is the sex life of college students. when he lectures(which was twice) you cant be clear what hes talking about because hes so scatter brained. o yea and his tests are like trying to read with ur eyes shut

Comment:

This class was tough but in the end I really learned a lot. He doesnt grade the speaches on the aparent time and effort you put in but the actually conetent of the speech and the way you talk to the class. The quizes were hard but just read the book.

Comment:

he is a terrible prof. he doesn't grade a single speech until the last two, and each are 25% of your final grade. he looks like abraham lincoln, and tells pointless stories of which have no relavance to his class. quiz pretty much every class period, and you HAVE to read the book, or else you won't get the answers. usually doensn't lecture.
