Comment:

Mr. Files is one of the best professors at the Woodbridge campus. He is very organized, very professional and answers all questions. He is very easy to talk, and is a lover of teaching. I would retake Mr Files communication class anytime. Before I took CST110 I was wondering which professor's class I should take, but my friend recommended Mr Files

The class is easy, but sometimes he is monotone and it becomes hard to focus. He has a final review before the final, but it ends up being different from what he says.

Comment:

He is such a great Professor. Easy going, nice & very helpful. He is so nice and it was always a pleasure to go to his class. For a communication class he talked the most part of it and his stories was always interesting. One speech, one exam and 12 easy writing assignments in a 8 week class. If you like to write and hear stories, take him A++ Prof

Comment:

Interpersonal Communication. Great teacher, really easy, really nice. We got along great, he used to be a psychologist and is very knowledgeable and helped me with advice in my career. Great guy, easy A, he taught by communicating WITH YOU, hardly through the book. That's his swag, he'll admit it.

Comment:

Mr. Files is the BEST. He's a relly nice guy, makes sure you have all the answers for the final (one & only exam -not hard at all - studied 30 min nite before and got an A). True, he does most of the speaking, but he always dismissed the class early. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Okay, first off, MR FILES IS AWESOME. He's nice, helpful, and really cool. Interpersonal Communications is boring kinda, but he makes it interesting. He's a doctor and worked in the psychiatric setting, great guy, great teacher, easy class. If you don't get an A, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Comment:

I took this class Spring 2011 and it was boring as hell! Yes, it's a public speaking class but he does all the speaking! The class is easy but the agony is sitting through his monotonous lectures. You will have to study the textbook (but he tells you everything you will need to know). No tests just one BIG exam at the end of the semester.

Very nice guy, helpful, personable and understand. Gained a lot from his class! Assignments were manageable considering I have a full time job which requires overtime and 2 other classes. I recommend him with enthusiasm!

Mr. Files is a very good teacher and makes the topic interesting. The assignments are very easy and everything is due at the end of the semester. The final exam is long but he gives you all the material you need to study. Great class.

Comment:

This class has changed my perception about Speech courses. I used to think it's a lot of B/S. William's course, on the other hand, is nothing but relevant interesting information for me and about me He is a great public speaker and teacher. The 12 entries Speach Journal might seem like a drag first but I have just realized how much I have learned

He was a great teacher! Used a lot of personal experience. You really don't even use the book. I took him for 6 weeks in the summer, and it was the easiest class i have ever taken! one speech, and one exam, and some journal entries. Take this class from him, you will not be sorry.

Good teacher with only 5 assignments (only one of those is a speech!). The assignments are due about 3/4 of the way through and he likes to end the semester early. His lectures are boring, but hey, how much do you want?
