Comment:

He's not everyone's cup of tea, but if you actually do the work (it's pretty easy) he's really cool. He tries and make the lectures more enjoyable and tells stories and shows videos that are relevant and entertaining

Comment:

Keep in mind this is a SOPHOMORE level class. This is trying to make Small Group Communication so much more complicated than it has to be. His lectures are enjoyable but he is very meticulous. In lectures he always talks about helping others and being a good team player, but seems to throw it out the window when it comes to projects.

Comment:

Boring subject, but somewhat engaging. Study and do the papers ahead of time is what I would have done differently. He should teach a Rock n Roll appreciation course next time.

Chilton is the best! I love him and want to take him again and again! Explains things very well and in depth. If you ever need help he is there and he is very understanding! you don't need to read the book if you attend class and take good notes.

At first we get put into random groups and that is your group the entire semester, everything you do is with your group including tests, projects, papers. I didn't mind this class but it wasn't my favorite. Tests were straight forward but the other assignments felt like it was his opinion grade. Only 3 tests so that is nice and no speeches.

Comment:

Chilton is a great speaker and communicator. He's very clear with the class schedule/syllabus/deadlines which I like a lot. Would've liked more in-class group discussion and less lecture, given that it was small group comm class. The group assignments were varied and dynamic which was cool. Actually a great experience and I recommend the class.

Comment:

I don't understand all the negative reviews. He's probably my favorite professor I've had at TXST! He cares about his students and tries to be as clear as possible about assignments. Anything I was confused about I asked in an email and he always responded. He's sociable and knowledgeable and I definitely recommend him! Don't skip class though!!

Comment:

the absolute worst professor at texas state. DO NOT TAKE HIM- talks about his life more than the material/ the hardest grader imaginable/ obsessed with attendance/ does NOT care about you or your grade/ seriously no matter how hard you try on assignments he wont give you above a B/ his powerpoints are extremely annoying and scatter brained as well

Comment:

Wasted some of my valuable time taking this class, professor has very limited knowledge about subject & to make up for it, talks about his personal life. Exams don't match most of the lectures & you can't miss lectures or you'll lose points from your final grade.

I loved his class! So much that I also took his 2330. His power points are funny and detailed. you need to put lots of effort in weekly assignments, they end up being worth more than one test! You will need to know the material well and his door is always open if you need help. 3 tests and a final. Super helpful, one of my favorite teachers so far!

Comment:

Chilton was cool, but seriously one of the toughest graders ever. DON'T miss class, after two times he takes 20 points off final grade. Had him for Small Group, if you choose the wrong group, you're almost screwed from the get-go. Not a class to slack off in. He is very knowledgeable in his field, but honestly it's difficult to get an A in there.

So here's the thing, Mr. Chilton does not give a care in the world about his students. His tests, group projects and assignments aren't too bad (they're still difficult) but he grades RIDICULOUSLY hard. I tried hard all semester and was cut short from a B by a point. I was there everyday, never missed a class. Definitely not taking him again.

Comment:

Professor Chilton really loves his job and is passionate about it. He is very goofy but such a great professor who really cares. If you go to his office hours he will go over anything with you and help! The content itself isn't difficult but you do have to work with a group which is harder than you think. I loved this class because of him!

Professor Chilton is great! Comm 3301 is a very difficult class but he is there to help you. He really enjoys the topic and teaching! You have 3 exams, a research paper, daily assignments you turn in, and a few quizzes.

Comment:

Professor Chilton is alright . If you miss over 2 classes you will get points taken off your final grade. He really wants you to do well but does not give you the right tools to do so. I give him a C- and will not be taking him EVER again.

Comment:

Biggest regret I've made, he makes the class much more boring than it actually is, tests are extremely difficult and tricky not related to the review in any way. Very tough grader. If you want to make a C get ready for a very tough time, for an A? Ha forgot about it

Comment:

I am currently taking Chilton for Empirical Research Methods. The class in itself is extremely challenging, but he grades incredibly hard as well. Almost even unreasonable, considering we are not experts in this material. He is passionate about his job, but shows no immediacy towards students.

Comment:

Chilton is very interesting and loves what he teaches. He is super passionate and there for you if you need some clarity. His expectations are VERY clear, so PLEASE follow directions. You do need to attend and must read the book to pass due to his "talking points". I hated the project he assigned, and graded too hard on it which resulted to my B+
