Comment:
Decent guy, but dont get on his bad side. Oh, and if theres a minute or two left of class, dont zip up your book back until hes done talking. He gives good instructions on how to give speeches but can be a tough grader. Dont fist bump your buddies in his class, hell think youre talking about him. Two friends of mine got yelled at for that.

Comment:
Decent professor. Not my favorite in the comm department. He is a very intelligent man don't get me wrong. Sometimes he seems to smart for his own good. Lectures can be confusing because he zig zags all over topics of different meaning. But if you pay attention and tryyyyyyyyy you can revive be a decent grade in his class. Also loves Steve jobs

Dr. Spicer is definitely a tough teacher but if you pay attention and take advantage of what he's teaching by the end of the semester you are actually going to know how to give a speech successfully.

Comment:
Dr. Spicer is without a doubt a pure genius. He hates capitalism, society, Americans and most of his students. His is philosophy on life is incredible and his sense of humor is unnatural. You learn a lot from his class if you're willing to listen. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Spicer talks down to his students as if they are not human. Be warned. It's an easy class, but you will not learn anything.

Comment:
Dr. Spicer is realllly funny. He is openly gay. I enjoyed having him for class. He lets you out early almost every class. You only have to do 3 speeches and 1/2 of ur grade is on an outline and critique on a peers speech. Very nice. Alwaya refers to his "crack berry". Take his class!

He seems like he's very nice and helpful when you first meet him, then you find out he can be a pompous jerk. God forbid you have an emergency and can't make it to his class. E-mail is the only form of contact, and most often, you are not worthy of his response. Don't bother!

I truly do not understand the ratings that Dr. Spicer is receiving. The man is hysterical and a really helpful person if you let him be. It is true that his tests are difficult but they are not impossible. He is quite clear with what he wants and as long as you go along with that, his class is a breeze.

Comment:
when i first met dr. spicer i thought he was a pretty funny guy, but going through the rest of the semester, i just realized that he can be really rude, inappropriate, and is always refering to the class as if we were freshman in high school. he certainly cannot admit that he's wrong. he's an ass.

Comment:
Always late, never prepared, and quickly ran through the lecture. I'm a fact person.. you give it to me how you want it and I'm fine. This was more abstract, kind of on your own. If you follow EXACTLY how he explains, you'll be fine. Tests are impossible. He tries to impress you with his rhetoric. It was okay.. only because i had to take COM

Greg is one super smart guy. If you don't like him for whatever reason, that's fine. I understood him perfectly and liked what he taught. I asked for help or clarification when I needed it and didn't even try to suck up. I was actually pleasantly surprised when I received my final grade. (Thanks Greg!) I'd recommend the course if you WANT to learn.

Comment:
without a doubt the WORST teacher in this department and most likely all of CAL! attitude, arrogance and a holier than thou outlook is what you will get on the first day, now that can be said of alot of teachers but then you get into the class, the learning curve is set way to far for a class that not many are interested in and does not apply to alot of people's career goals who are in that class. i took his mass media free society class and was told none of my papers were gradeable, not even an F, wtf?

Interesting. A difficult teacher, but helped make a seemingly boring 3 hours go by quickly by making it exciting and enjoyable.
