in resp. to the other comment about him, stand up comedy is his way of making it a comfortable envir. for students to give speeches. I put off taking speech for years, as I think many do, but I am so glad when I finally took it, it was with him.

He is completely unorganized and consistently late. He probably made it one time once even though he promised he wouldn't. More often then not, you don't know what's going on or if he is even teaching. I never met a teacher not interested in the student.

Would take again

Prof Glanzer is by far the best professor I have had at GCC. He is super caring and does whatever he can to help his students. The class discussions are very entertaining and ease the pressure and stress of speeches. Takes his own time and lets you come to office hours. I miss this professor and wish I could take his class again! :)
