took his class and absolutely loved him and my class. English is not my second language (started leaning 2.5 years ago) and I got B without any effort. Easy A if English is your native language. You don't need textbook and his lectures are easy to understand and most importantly SO FUN.

Mr. Frisco is one of my favorite teachers at Oakton! He made speech class very enjoyable and my class was great. I actually enjoyed going to class because he made lectures fun. I also become such a better speaker from his class so I highly recommend him for speech!

I expected to dislike having to take a public speaking course, but Mr. Frisco changed that very quickly. He's funny, always smiling, and seems to genuinely enjoy teaching. If you have to take a public speaking course, go for Mr. Frisco!

Awesome professor. He really cares. I enjoyed his lectures immensely as he put a lot of his soul and energy into them. His class is relatively easy. Quizzes are easy if you pay attention, and he is fair grading your speeches. My only gripe is that he doesn't post your grades online on the D2L. Kind of anxiety provoking.

Comment:

Easily the most memorable and unique teacher I came across. Very hyper but in a positive way. Not a normal person. You have to take his class to witness it. Has us perform comfort exercises before we get into speeches - nice idea. Great guy. But there is a downside. He is very on target when critiquing your speech. Just one slip up gets you a B.

He is by far one of my favorite teachers! He truly cares about his students. The 5 quizzes are exactly from the reading assigned. He gets the entire class comfortable with eachother and he definitely makes giving speeches less horrible. Practice your speech, read the chapters and have fun in his class! I gaurantee you will love it!

Great Professor! Not for the shy student as you must interact closely with all your other classmates. I didn't open my textbook once, everything on the tests is reviewed and speeches are laid out well in advance. Have fun!

i loved this teacher! he was always so fun and energetic in class and tries to get his class involved. i hate public speaking but he got the class to be comfortable around each other by doing warm ups and letting us choose our own topics for speeches. best speech teacher!
