Comment:

This is one of those that you actually have to try to fail this class. 2-3 speeches which range from 3 to 8 mins. He'll give you a good feedback. Just take note of what he wants you to do. 4 tests that are open book. He gives you all the time in the world to finish the test. Prof Heppler is a nice man. Sometimes his instructions aren't very clear.

Very easy class, his grading criteria may be a little complicated and weird, but he makes sure that he explains it. He is available always during office hours and is always willing to help out and give make up work. just do the speech and present when scheduled and pass his test which are super easy

4 tests, most open book or open notes, 2 big speeches on whatever topic you want (make sure not to go first as what he wants is sorta unclear until he gives feedback to the first person), a couple easy mini-speeches, tests based on the textbook so READ. Easy A as long as you do well on your speeches and decent on tests.

Comment:

The class isnt as easy as people believe with his extreme harshness on the 2 talks you have to complete throughout the semester. Make sure to make those talks count. There are only about 10 grades so make em count He is sarcastic usually so dont take what he says personally, and youll be fine. He is funny and really makes the class come together

Comment:

Professor Heppler is definitely an incredible person, he doesn't make the class impossible. At the end of the day, you are responsible for the effort you put into the class. He makes it nearly impossible to get less than an A and honestly out of any class you take, this will teach you how to be more personable in conversation and talk to groups.

Don't take this class if you are organized and like to have a syllabus with due dates. I never knew what was going on from class to class. Tough grader on speeches and open book tests, but they are not easy especially the way he goes over the chapters. His grading scale needs to go.

Dont take this class if you want an easy A. His grading rubric is weird and confusing. Hes a really tough grader and wants your speeches to be PERFECT.

Prof Heppler was a great professor, he really helped me with my fear of public speaking. His class is so easy to pass, it really is an easy A. He was very clear in the beginning with what he wanted from us. I definitely recommend him.

Robert Heppler is a wonderful teacher. He knows how to make students comfortable with each other and in doing so, he provides a safe place where students with anxiety are comfortable speaking publicly. His tests were all open note and/or open book. There were two speeches and I think four tests. As long as you follow his directions, you'll get an A

He's a good teacher, he gives good feedback and you can re-do your speech if didnt like your grade. I didnt like his grading scale. There are 4 test during the class worth 11 pts, 2 speeches worth 22pts, and a final worth 22pts (Make sure to highlight the chapters, sometimes you can use notes or the book). Go to class, you get 11pts for attendance.

Comment:

He's okay. He is very critical during your speech and his criticism is very subjective. I've seen him gives A's to people's speeches that didn't follow his criteria at all and I've seen him give C's for speeches that fit all his criteria. I got lucky by getting an A. His tests are open note and pretty easy. Try to do well on them.

Comment:

He likes to have alot of presentations done during class which is understandable given the subject but he grades you on how outgoing you are. I received a C in this class because i have serious stage freight that i cant control. If you are shy like myself, try to avoid him. He grades on how well you can speak in font of others

Great professor; he teaches you a life skill and does it well. He's funny, genuinely cares about students, and gives great feedback to help you become a better speaker. I went into this class dreading public speaking, but came out feeling ready for any speech as well as to enjoy it!

Only a few speeches. Clear outlines/things he looks for - pay attention and follow them for a good grade. Open book/note tests - huge help! Come to class to get some extra points. He's a bit old fashioned, has his rules, but has a sense of humor and wants you to genuinely learn. Easy A - take him!

DR HEPPLER IS A GENTLEMAN, AND AN EXCELLENT PROFESSOR. HE GIVES 2 MAJOR SPEECHES AND 4 OPEN NOTES TESTS. HE IS VERY HELPFUL. HIS CLASSES WERE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO FACE SPEECH WITH MORE CONFIDENCE.

Comment:

Wouldn't recommend if you're shy. Only 2 main speeches but 4-5 tests. He's very blunt and sometimes makes the classroom feel awkward with his silences and stares. His tests are straight from the book and he gives them all open notes so if you take notes straight from the book you'll pass with no problem.

I love Dr. Heppler; he is super smart and funny. Speech is an intimidating class but he makes it so relaxing and laid back. After your speeches he gives you feedback on how you did. A really nice and lovely guy. If you are nervous for this class I would suggest on taking him, I just did a 10 min. and received an A, TAKE HIM!!!

Dr. Heppler was an awesome professor for public speaking! He gives about 4-5 exams, which are open book, and there are two major speeches. He might give you one or two small speeches, but they're super easy! I was really nervous about giving speeches but I started to feel more comfortable along the way. He's also really funny!

Comment:

Great, respectable, genuine man. Because of him, I rarely ever get nervous about publicly speaking now. The class has 2 major speeches and a couple of tests, but if you practice your speech presentation in the mirror and read through the chapters of the textbook you will get an A in the class.
