Really nice and funny. I would definitely recommend him... plus he is really nice to look at :)
This class is definitely worth taking!!! Professor Shapiro is very passionate about his class and he shows that by using real life examples during class lectures. He inspires his students to learn while having a fun time. You will definitely learn how to give a speech (:
he the best, easy going, easy A and will help you on how to speak in front of someone
He is amazing
His classes are very dynamic. He cares about his students. Homeworks are easy. He has a great sense of humor, so you never get bored in classes
I am the most shy person in the world, I was really affraid of this class, but proffesor Shapiro makes it a lot easier and fun, you will learn how to give a speech, I recomend him 100%
I took Dr. Shapiro for spring 2017. He is very passionate about his job and he will give you good advice for your day to day life. He helps you with any questions. He is overall awesome and he will not let you feel humiliated! He will take your shyness away too!!!
The best proffesor I could have had! He has helped me a lot to overcome my shyness in front of people and, even after taking his class, he is helping me out with presentations for my classes and job interviews. I would love to take his class again. Guys, don't hesitate in taking speech classes with him.
Prof. Aaron Shapiro is one of the best professor that I had during my classes at MDC Inter-American campus. He is really an excellent professor that love his career. He gave as the resources to be more successful in our career. I recommend him 100%
The best professor ever
I never was interested to look at rate my professor until I meet professor Shapiro. A college in campus highly recommend his class. I never had so much fun in a speech class like I had in professor Shapiro's class. Hi is a wise, fun, great energy and charisma. He is fair, and generous if you need his help. It was a great pleasure to meet him!
Who wouldn't want to show up to class and see his lovely face every day? This class wasn't required for my pathway but I still decided to take his class to overcome my shyness and improve my speech. I have improved and the class was fun. He is a good teacher and seriously very attractive! I recommend this teacher and would definitely take him again
easy and amazing class. Take it you wont regret it
BEST PROFESSOR EVER !!
He's the best professor I've ever had. He helps u come out of ur shell and he helps present u and ur views in a professional way. I advise to constantly check ur email for info because he would put last minute extra credit. He preps u for ur future whether it's in resumes or interviews. He is easy on the eyes which helps when u need to talk to him.
Prof. Shapiro encourages his students to learn. He is great!
Really outgoing, actually made the class interesting and learned a lot. Would take his class again with no problem.
he's fine as hell! and funny, but also very smart and makes you think about things in a different way.
Miss 2 assignments and you start failing. Get Ready To Read.
Best professor you coudl ever take in college. He will not only help you overcome your shyness but you actually start thinking in different ways. He is extremely hot and humble! Take him at any cost. You will learn and have fun at the same time
Good class, professor is clear in the content
Hes a great professor to take. He teaches very well and makes the class funny and interesting to learn. He gives good feed back and helps you out when needed. Overall a great teacher.
THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER. His knowledge and his passion teaching the students make you want to be in class.
Professor Shapiros class has been one of the best classes I have taken at MDC. Thank you, Professor Shapiro, for your inspiring speeches in class and enthusiasm in teaching us students. I have learned to become a critical thinker! :)
Definitely makes communication a subject worth studying. Teaches the importance of communication and how using it will lead to our success.
He's the best professor ever. He made the class interesting and fun to learn. His class makes you see things differently and have a whole new perspective. You can tell he is very knowledgeable and passionate about his class. Totally would recommend you taking his class!
Engaging personality. Teaches important lessons you can take outside of the classroom.
Good professor I recommend him and fair with the grades!!
If you take this class with anyone else, big mistake ! He is one of my favorite professors to have experienced at MDC!
Best professor ever!! Take him, you won't regret!!
excelent professor
Excellent professor!! His classes were very interesting and motivational
very nice and prefossional
If I had to take the class again, I would chose him again!!! He is a great professor, and a gives awesome feedback.
He's an amazing person and he's also funny. His lectures vary and he makes it fun. He does assign a lot of reading so get ready to read every week. He does leave a lot of homework sometimes but it's manageable and he doesn't do tests. If you're trying to get your speech credit, take him.
Makes the class funny Lots of readings and assignment but not hard Reply super fast
I would take this class again if i could, easy class and the only class i will look forward to since every time is something new and he keeps the class entertained.
I would definitely take it again
Great professor, almost impossible to not learn anything. 10/10 would recommend!
Awsome class
Best Professor I've had throughout my college experience at the InterAmerican Campus. Professor Shapiro creates an excellent learning environment, which is fun, witty, and challenging. Moreover, he's always willing to help you out if you need anything after class and does it in a way that's not stressful and teaches you something valuable.
He is a great teacher, very funny and very attentive.
Aaron will make you speak, he will make understand the world around, he will make you open your mind. You will have to work for your grade but you will not regret it. You will learn great things about the class but also great things from him. To me HE IS THE EPITOME OF SUCCESS.
Best speech professor ever! He gives great lectures and gives you a different perspective of the world around you. He makes the whole class interesting and fun. He does give a lot of easy homework AND NO TEXTBOOK PURCHASE NEEDED. He provides all the pdfs to the readings.
Shapiro is a great professor however do not think that you are going to slack off in this class. The grading is fair. you get what you get. There are a handful of assignments that if you fail to follow the instructions you could easily bomb, same way if you do what is told, you will be fine. Enjoy his class he is a great guy!
I just started a new semester and i honestly missed this speech class so much, this professor is an amazing and talented one
Wonderful sense of humor
he makes the class interesting. the class is easy to understand by the way he explains it.
Love this class
He is the best speech proffesor at MDC. He cares about your grade and he loves the communication field. If you really follow his instructions youll make it. I would definitely take him again he is the best!
BEST professor at MDC. He is AMAAAAZING !! His class is easy to pass if you pay attention but trust me it's easy he makes every lesson clear and understandable. I would definitely take him a million times more !!
the best , awesome class
He is an excellent professor, Also a good friend.
Shapiro is a great professor and person! Knows his material extremely well! Definitely recommend!
Im in my sophomore year and hes definitely the best professor that Ive had thus far
He is the best communications professor at MDC, His lectures are amazing. You can tell he loves what he does and you will be inspired to learn about communications. I will recommend him 100% and will take him again.
I really enjoyed this class. Professor Shapiro encouraged me to study and learn. He is one of the best professors I've had.
Professor Shapiro is the best professor I've had. His class is not hard at all! Show up, listen to his easy and funny lectures, do the assignments that he may give you ( they are not complicated and gives you enough time to do them.) He knows his material and will make you do a speech, but it really isn't that big of a deal. Take him.
He's so great! Class is not hard at all. He's an amazing teacher!
SHAPIRO is the best at mdc. He has a great experience on speech, he is very helpful and caring for those who care. He teaches his class in a top interesting way. I strongly recommend him, I havent learn what I know today without him. I loved the class.
He has an interesting class.
Amazing professor & cute too so going to class was enjoyable! Super nice and understanding. He gives lots of hw, but it's only fair since his class isn't hard at all. He offers extra credit. Get ready to present in front of the class and to do a group powerpoint presentation at the end of the semester. Take him, you won't regret it.
I took this class online and will never take again. You can never get in touch with him and if you do it will be weeks later. He doesn't grade any thing till the very end and you're stuck not knowing what your grade is. You have an assignment every week and quiz and a proctored midterm but not final. Easy class but the professor is horrible.
The best professor , and a great friend. super nice.
such a sweetheart and very thoughtful he makes you talk. funny and handsome guy
This was my first class after being away from school over a decade, he has really set the bar high loved the class
Prof Shapiro is such a good teacher!! Would take again, if I could. He makes the class interesting and makes the readings easy to understand.
Best professor ever!! He motivate you to participate. He is very very very knowledgeable and he make me see the world different in some aspects. He is amazing!!
he is so funny
The best professor that I've had. Very creative
Such an amazing professor. I was so nervous to take a speech class and he honestly made the class so funny and interesting. He's very thoughtful and knowledgeable and you'll definitely learn a lot about communication and so much more. Take his class and I guarantee you, you won't regret it.
He is the besttttttttt
gret teacher, awsome learning experience!!!
This is an amazing professor. He actually cares, and wants you to really understand the purpose of the class. He helped me lose my fear of public speaking. He tries to make you feel comfortable in class, and he respects his students. Would definitely recommend!
If you want to wake up in life take this class , the professor is inspirational and cute!!!
If you are looking for a professor that makes your classes fun and interesting, you should take Aaron. Definitely the kind of professor that make you think while youre getting a little more confident with the topics. Carefull: he looks like a normal and topical student
Professor Shapiro made the class interesting with his games and talk. We had a lot of writing to do as homeworks, but he always gave us a second chance for a late essay or low grade. He is a really good professor.
I would definitely recommend this class. Professor Shapiro made the content and lectures very easy to understand. He is one of the best without doubts.
He is the best looking professor ever and he is not only good looking he knows how to teach. His class is an easy A, take him!!!
The class is an easy A. Hes fun and entertaining, and makes the material easy to understand and remember. Hes a good professor and being in his class never seemed like a drag. Highly recommend him.
Since SPC1017 is required for all students who attend MDC, I can say without a doubt Aaron Shapiro has to be one of the best professors out there. He's passionate about his work, funny, very helpful, and relaxed on work. I learned to observe my surroundings more and got a bit better with my interpersonal communications skills too! Excellent teacher
He is an awesome professor! He is funny and makes class interesting. He is very caring of his students and is always open for questions or discussions. The assignments are easy. Definitely take him!
The Best profesor
He teaches you a lot more than just speech. His classes & messages can be applied to real day to day life. An amazing professor who really wants to see his students grow and become better, not just "take & pass the class". Highly suggest taking him if you want to push your public speaking skills to it's test.
Make you interested in the clases
Professor Shapiro is good in communications, get ready to work but he gives time to do the work, do his assignment and you will pass the class.
Teaches in an interactive way that is still very informative, possibly even more so than traditional teaching styles. He is very innovative in the way he conducts his class which makes it extremely fun and interesting, so much so that you forget you are in class. I've had more fun in this class than going out sometimes and still learned so much.
Shapiro is really great professor I enjoyed his class so much! He likes for the class to participate, talk and interact! HE GIVES YOU THE TEXTBOOK! He tries to keep his class interesting and fun! I learn a lot of things in his class. I really recommend his class. Also his class usually get filled quickly, so if you want to you better register fast
I took Professor Shapiro for 2 classes. I've moved on to FIU and oh, how I miss him. He is very passionate about what he teaches and comes up with fun ways of teaching the material. TAKE HIM, YOU WON'T REGRET IT.
Great class, great professor! He claims that he moonlights as a comedian. He is funny, a great speaker and you learn a lot... things that you will actually need in life. So if you want to be better at dating, get a job and catch someone lying. This is the class for you. Easy A
I was initially dreading taking public speaking for obvious reasons, however, this became the class that I actually looked forward to coming to. Aaron Shapiro was a great teacher who was passionate about what he was teaching and quite a funny person as well. I feel that I actually gained real life skills as well as some confidence in myself.
He is the best teacher Ive honestly ever had! He is very funny and cares a lot about his students. There is homework you need to do but if you pay attention and look over the PowerPoints you will do great!!!!
If you dont take this Professor, youre doing it all wrong. Im 99% sure that all my classmates agrees with me. Class was never dull or boring, because his lectures are so detailed & well explained. I learned so much in that class. I really enjoyed his teaching style.
Great lecturer and utilizes in-class activities that helps retain information.
TAKE HIM. Just do, you wont regret it. Hes unquestionably the best professor I have had in university so far. He teaches the course elegantly and knows his stuff. The group assignments are easy and informative. Hes also successful outside of class which gives him a touch of realism since we know he has actual experience. If you like learning ��
He is a great professor and Im grateful to who have had him as a professor hes caring, respectful and respected he made sure all students understood the assignment and if we didnt I understand it he would go back over it with us and he kept a smile on his face as well as ours wouldnt change anything.
I've never rated a professor on this but I went out of my way to tell y'all that this is seriously the best professor EVER!!!! Super funny very understanding easy grader and just a great person
Best Professor i have had. Extremely understanding and nice. Makes sure everyone engages and is in groups.
VERY GOOD PROFESSOR RECOMMENDED 100% IF YOU ARE A COMMUNICATION MAJOR PERSUASION CLASS IS VERY GOOD AND EASY TO PASS YOU JUST HAVE TO DO THE WORK, VERY GOOD DISCUSSION BASED CLASS! I LOVED HIM!
This Professor is an excellent choice, and Im sure that can be said for all the courses this Professor teaches. Hes actually interested in what he teacheswhich is super rare and valuable. Even for those who struggle in his courses, hes extremely motivating. Any person that takes a class with Professor Aaron Shapiro is doing themselves a favor.
The professor is very nice and caring and he wants you to pass. He teaches the subject in a way that makes it very entertaining and keeps you interested in what he is saying. He uses comedy in his lectures while also keeping it interactive and you can always go to him after class with any questions.
