Good guy, want you to pass. Literally show up, do the outline and do the speech. Easy A. I didnt give him full stars because he can be sarcastic and rude sometimes. But overall, wants you to pass.

Comment:

All you have to do is show up, and do exactly what he tells you to do in your speeches. He likes to lift the air with jokes and stories, and isnt afraid to joke back and forth with students. He is very helpful with feedback, has plenty of office hours, and promotes the success of students. I was only nervous for the first speech because of his help

Comment:

Prof. Artiaga was an OK professor. This was an HONORS course. I'd recommend students to ask ALL of their questions when visiting his office hours as he loves office visits. He does NOT like to be interrupted when teaching his class and sometimes has temper tantrums but don't take it personal. He does not like to repeat himself. Overall, he was ok.

Comment:

I'm not the biggest fan of public speaking but I found this class to make it a lot easier. He broke the class in half so you don't have to speak to the entire class on speech days which was nice. Quizzes are hard if you don't read but as long as you do well on the speeches your grade will be fine. I didn't do well on the quizzes but still got an A.

Comment:

"Oh my god what a guy." Artiaga is by far the funniest professors there is. I enjoyed being in this class very much. He helps you relax and not have so much anxiety by being able to use pp's and outlines and he even cut the class size in half. but he can be rude when he is angry. All his quizzes are open book except two for the whole semester.

"Oh my god, what a guy". Very lenient in grading, as for speeches, just make sure to cite your sources and look alive. The final speech is incredibly easy on purpose, it's mostly graded according to delivery and it's on something you don't need sources for. He clearly wants everyone to pass. He gives you many resources to study for the state exam.

I took the hybrid online course and only had to be present in class 4 times for speech nights. Mr. Artiaga was wonderful and very clear on everything. Speech was terrifying for me but this course was easier and more fun than I would have ever anticipated.

I love him! He was by far my favorite teacher. He's really funny, and jokes around a lot which makes the class a lot less nerve wrecking.

Comment:

My favorite professor! He jokes around a lot and gives you outlines for each speech to follow. If you go by the outline and have enough info, you should get an A. He gives one speech a month and the day after your speech you don't have to attend class. We had a few quizzes but they were all open book. He's very chill and I would take him again!

Comment:

I had him for oratory, and he was literally thee worst teacher. He is very unprofessional. While he tries to help, he comes across as rude and hurtful. Thank god I needed ONE credit of speech otherwise I would push for him to never teach again. He says "OH MY GOD" and bangs on the table regardless if you said something good or bad.

He is such a good teacher. God bless his soul! He makes you feel comfortable giving your speech and gives many opportunities to help boost your grade if needed. I took the 50 online and just go on campus for speeches. It was very simple and easy. His assignments are straight forward and if you just do whats asked with good efforts. Hes the BEST!!!

Comment:

He is a really great professor to take for a sometimes nerve wrecking speech class. He gave lots of notes and examples. After speeches, he would also give feedback, but never rude. You can tell he really is interested in his students, even though he may never learn their names. He also is very sarcastic and cracked lots of jokes. Easy grader.

Professor Artiaga is the best and he strives to ensure that you not only learn the material but is able to apply them to real scenario. It is very difficult to fail this class if you do your part. I would take any class with Professor Artiaga.

You MUST take this professor! I chose to take the mixed class where everything is online and you just go to campus to give your speeches. He is SO funny and sweet and makes you feel so comfortable when going to give your speeches. He always has nothing but good feedback and seriously is just wonderful.
