Excellent teacher! take him if you do not like give speeches he makes it easy. Don't buy the book because it is $80 and you don't use it at all. He gives you all the notes. Go to this class because if you have perfect attendance he will boost you one letter grade!

Great teacher to have if nervous about giving speeches. Lets you keep an outline of speech in front of you while presenting (I heard some of the other speech teachers won't let you have any notes with you when presenting). If you have perfect attendance he boosts your grade.

Pretty easy and nice. Fair grades on speeches and may expect us to do well on it. Teaches well and tries to lighten the mood most of the time in the classroom with some corny humor.

Good teacher.Does his best to keep everyone interest and actually cares to see his students do well. You can have a conversation with this man unlike many other teachers. His grading is great just show him respect and go to his classes and do your best on the speeches. I recommend him to anyone.

Comment:

took him for intro to public speaking, and he is a great teacher. he is clear, helpful, encouraging, etc. gives notes to his lectures and allows for a lot of leeway, as long as you improve over the semester. good grader, when you have to take speech (you do) take him, you won't regret it.

Very nice and funny guy. Repeats his lectures which gets annoying and boring. Fairly understanding and pretty reasonable. Good for people afraid to take speech.

Comment:

He is overall a very fair teacher. He lets you know up front what is expected of you. It is a performance based class. So if you don't show up for your speech, have an outline, and are not prepared DON'T expect to pass. An easy A if you do your work.
