Comment:

Professor Crossman is so funny and every class went by so fast. Even if you don't have your speech ready, he gives you a pass and you can go on the makeup day. The topics he gives is a bit difficult but in the end its important material to know in life. He also let's you have a note card

Comment:

At first, I was taking this course to simply fulfill a requirement, but Crossman quickly changed my mind about that. He's a very lenient professor with fun assignments and frequent debates. Though he doesn't say it, he expects you to use reasoning and defend your argument without conceding. I appreciated the structure of his class and its pace.

Comment:

This is my second course Ive taken with professor Crossman and honestly I wish he offered more sections. I highly recommended him to my brother and he loves him too. Clear on how he wants his debates, also gives you the template to use for your debates, keeps lectures interesting with his personality, 3 tests (goes over questions in class). Great

BEST COMMS TEACHER here at EL CO. He wants his students to get an A and just wants you to improve from your last speech. 3 speeches. 1 debate. 1 final (gives you answers class before). Took him during the winter session and was so easy just prepare for your speech and listen to his feedback. great professor. funny too. take him for real :))

Professor Crossman understands his students and makes the effort to encourage your individual strengths and need for improvement in public speaking. He encourages you to practice speech at home and it helps! Whether you're taking COMS100 over a full semester, winter, or summer, this professor will be one you remember if you put forth the effort.

Take this class. Hes super funny and politically correct. He has so many sublime jokes I laughed the entire semester. Took him in the summer and it was easy it was like 5 speeches a test and a Comm event to attend but its nothing hard just write out the outline practice and thats it. The majority of the semester is listening to speeches.

This guy is so funny. If you want to laugh every class you have him for take this guy. In the communications department he is one of the easier professors. This guy has his own book and used it for this class and knows what he is talking about. I personally really enjoyed this class. Many people did drop this class but it was the speaking part.

Professor Crossman is a great teacher! Being a Comm major I had to take debate and he made the course go smoothly and it was an entertaining class overall. He is hilarious, and gets to the point on what a quiz will be like and what he expects on your day of debate. Take him you won't regret it!

If I were a comms major, I would take this guy for all of my comms classes! He's really nice and is on your side 100%. He really helped me become less nervous about speaking in front of a class. Everything about this class not hard at all! Just get the speeches done, thats it!

Comment:

Public speaking is my LEAST favorite thing to do, but I got an easy A in this class. He is very clear on what he expects from you - as long as you follow it and perform well you will do well in the class. If more comms teachers were like him, I think less people would be so afraid of public speaking.

Comment:

This class is reasonably easy as long as you do the work. He lets you out early, gives you clear criteria if you need help, and the entire debate team is accessible for help with class assignments. Also, laugh at his jokes. Don't take the class too seriously. He gives nearly a whole letter grade of extra credit. Just do the work and you'll get an A

Comment:

I took Prof. Crossman's honors debate class and absolutely loved it! He's very funny and quirky, and uses current examples to make the material understandable. I had never debated in my life but he had an in-class demo and made the structure easy to understand. The in-class debates were so much fun and I learned a lot. I'd absolutely take it again!

I was nervous taking my first coms class, but professor Crossman makes public speaking easy. There is only three speeches and one debate with very easy impromptu activities inbetween. Show up to class and do your speeches, and you will get an easy A.

Amazing professor! I was nervous taking debate but he made it so much fun. As long as you do well on your debates and study for the quizzes you should have an A. Would definitely take him again.
