Definitely warmed up to this professor mid semester. Hes funny and nice. You can just chill the whole semester except for three times when he assigns the three speeches. Those are the only times you gotta work hard.

Comment:

I was not good at speaking in front of people before I took this class but now I' m a little bit better at it. Practice the speakers' triangle while you are practicing your speech. Look at your note cards if you need to so that you don't get nervous and lose your place. Sign up to see him to help with your speech or outline if you need the help.

This class environment was so open and accepting I loved going to class every day. Dr. Graham is easy to communicate with and truly wants you to succeed. As long as you engage in the classroom and participate you will get an A!!

Dr. Graham has a heart of gold and steel, he knows what students are capable of. He is aware of our potential and because of that, wants the best for each of them. I immensely enjoyed his class as it further developed my horrible communication skills into a decent skills but because of that, I have acquired the courage to get out there.

Dr. Graham is tough on his students because he knows our potential. He takes public speaking very seriously as it is a crucial life skill. There is no wiggle room to slack off. You are going to need to be ready to put 100% effort to get an A but don't let it scare you. He is so nice and is willing to help you as much as you need. He is the best!

I enjoyed this class immensely. Graham is a great professor and cares about his students success. There are in class debates which are fun and not something to be scared of. I am taking him again next semester and super excited to have him as a professor again. The homework load is spread out and easy to do, focus on the debate outlines.

This class is a great class to take if you want to be successful in life. I promise you will fail in life if you do not succeed in this class! He is a great teacher he does not assign hard work and its not a lot of homework. He makes it very easy for you and gets you comfortable in class. He lets you eat in class and even has a coffee machine!

He believes in you and wants you to succeed. He is always there to help through email or office meetings. He provides a class textbook for you if you don't have one. He pushes you to your best potential. I would take this class again, in fact, I'm taking another one of his other classes next semester. Best teacher I ever had

Really really hard. Dont take him if you can take someone else. Expects to much from students, is not Harvard. Gives 5 chapters of notes in 4 days. The class was 55 people and in 4 days went down to 20!! Means its not good!

Mr Graham strict. no is no and yes is yes. The material was so extensive,level for summer was just overthe top. Had to put in at least 2 to 3 hours per/day of HW He unnerved his whole audience by showing what was expected putting a advanced speaker 1st day. Sounded LIKE STANFORD. He expect same for speeches.Dont take!! I dropped clsss. STRESSFUL!!

I took the teacher this summer course and he was cool until he made this girl give a speech, which was a debate girl. And told the class after he wanted a speech like this. Also a lot of hw omg.. 15 to 20 pages of notes every day. You have to dress up, and ur speeches have to be 900 or 1200 words. It really sucked I ended up dropping that class.

I love Dr. Graham! He is a really great teacher and knows what he's doing. He makes the class feel comfortable and made it way easier to talk in front of everyone. There are only two speeches and a final speech. Some tedious work in the text and taking notes, but other than that the class is pretty easy! I would definitely recommend him for speech.

He's nice, and all, supportive and what not, but I am taking his summer course right now, i'm like 5 points away from getting an A and he will not give extra credit. He won't budge. :/ I understand it's college and all but all my other teachers give at least 10 pts...

Mr. Graham was great and so was his class! I took it in a learning community. It was a great idea to have the LC because you really got comfortable with the other students. Graham was very helpful and nice. Strict when it came to speech time but it was worth it. Put in the effort and you'll get an A. Extra credit was available :)

Comment:

He looks like Huge Laurie from house with glasses. Hes a pretty good teacher, the only problem is you get no elbow room in his class for assignments. There are not a lot of assignments in the grade book so if you miss one it can hurt you pretty bad. He has lots of extra credit opportunities but there is a cap on points you can get.
