Comment:

Was the best class I have taken. Dr. Owen expects students to behave as mature adults and to think for themselves. If you do what he expects, which I just mentioned, you will have an A with ease.

Comment:

Just like everyone said, really boring, plays favorites, and doesnt teach you anything. Also, his final was ridiculous, fill in the blank with no word bank and was half the grade. Hard to do when you have no idea what the guy was talking about all semester.

Dr. Owen was such a bore, always went off on topic, was mildly helpful. I will NEVER take a class from him again!

Comment:

This is the worst professor I have ever had. I received an A, but did not learn anything about the subject. I thought about obtaining my degree in speech, but after having this instructor, there is no way in hell! He seems to receive pleasure by belittling others. He also walks around during the evalutations to coerce good remarks from students.

If you are looking for a class where you are given 8 excused absences and an easy A (as long as you don?t get on the professors bad side), Owen is for you. But I can?t say I learned anything about communication from this professor.

Dr. James Owen is a true scholar and man of character. I found his classes to be thought provoking and stimulating. In his classroom you will find stimulating debates and intellectual information sharing. If you’re serious about your education and a pr

I would not take this teacher agian. He is into talking about his own political views rather than teaching. The only good thing about him was that he allowed 8 absenses or I would not have passed.

Comment:

Dr. Owen is the most pompous professor I have ever met. He is so long winded that you forget what he was originally talking about. He treats students like they are in elementary school. He even kicked them out of class. I do not reccommend him.
