He is the best professor i have ever had. I am terrible at public speaking and he was so cool about everything. His class is easy and its actually enjoyable to go to at 930 in the morning! He will be truly missed when he retires this semester, I'm glad i got to have him as a teacher! He's the best!!

Comment:

I've taken him for every class possible and he is such an incredible man and teacher. He has a different teaching style. Its not constant lectures; he tends to give more stories and valuable lessons based off his experience. Even though he doesn't take attendance, you won't want to miss his class. He is such a sweet and incredible professor.

He was such a great professor. He would help you out whenever you need it and that was huge in this kind of class. At first, I was a little intimidated going into the public speaking class, but he made us so comfortable and I'm so glad I took him. TAKE HIS CLASS!

Very outgoing and funny professor! He does expect you to show enthusiasm and hard work in your speeches but the homework is simple. Even though his grading was unclear at times he loves to teach and made my 8 am not so bad. Recommended!

awesome class. he is such a good speaking, it's easy to understand everything he says. lectures are simple, midterm is based off of the lectures. book is only needed to supplement the material from class. 4 speeches to give during class. very encouraging. he is not very willing to meet outside of class, i tried multiple times to no avail.

Great Professor! So glad I got to have him for public speaking, which is now not my worst fear. At first you get nervous but he makes you feel comfortable and he grades very easily. Relates topics to everyday life and tells a lot of stories. Probably one of the best professors I've had.

Amazing teacher. Going into this class I never thought I'd be able to give a speech, but he really made you feel comfortable with everything. He also gave you positive criticism. Take him if you can, he is terrific.
