Comment:

I took Hall for Public Speaking. Hall is a charismatic guy and enjoys making his students laugh. However, he takes FOREVER to give back grades. Also, several students in the class, myself included, have emailed him and never gotten a response back. He literally just ignores his students emails. He also showed up to class late every day.

Comment:

Seriously an awful teacher. Never organized. He ended up giving the same lecture twice. Gave 1 test and had 2 speeches that he graded VERY hard. Lectures were extremely boring and was never helpful when you had a question with a grade. Also spoke in weird random accents and called students names. Do NOT take.

I took his Argument and Debate class it was a helpful course as well as a good time. This is especially useful for law majors as he teaches you the proper structure to prepare and proceed with a debate. I suggest you all take this fun and hands on course

Group Discussion is by far the best class at YCP i ever took, Dr. Hall is an awesome teacher, very funny and makes class fun. Media Law is an extremely hard class, i struggled through it a little but i enjoyed the class cause he taught it and made it as fun as possible

Comment:

Gave specifics on paper two days b4 it was due, not so great. Also I never even got back any grades on three presentations, so it's hard to know where you stand. On the other hand, he's nice, funny, and intelligent, and he cuts some slack on grading tests. Maybe I should wait until final grades are in b4 I post this...

Dr. Hall is THE MAN. He was there for me through a lot of things, and he was one of my favorites. And he would not let a bad joke die, and I helped keep them going.

Absolutely, without a doubt, the best professor I've ever had. He's smart, keeps people interested and is very clear to understand. He makes boring subjects exciting. I really wish that there were many more professors as good as Dr. Hall.

Don't take this class unless you HAVE to... It is rediculous (he puts you in groups every day and has each group teach the class). Has no idea how to teach...

The professor is not difficult. Lectures aren't difficult. Materials aren't difficult. Tests are. Chances are you'll end up with a C.
