Personally, I liked him overall but just some stuff he was totally not understandable. For example, he will give you back feedback about your speech and then the next feedback of the same speech he will give the opposite of what he just said. He was really easy on grading his discussions. But his speeches weren't easy to get a good grade on it.

Excellent teacher & really nice guy. I struggled in this class at times but he was very helpful and I honestly feel like I came away from the class better equipped to give presentations.

Terrible. Loud and not funny, nor clear, even though he thinks he is. Uses the worst online homework system ever invented. Unclear grading criteria and lowers your grade if you have don't have an opinion he likes on every political subject he injects into this supposedly neutral speech class.

This is the worst class I've ever taken at MHCC so far. The discussions for this class are ridiculously heavy in effort, having to be in a slides presentation format. Grading criteria is so specific just for the discussion responses alone, otherwise you won't get full points, if he even gives those. Great thing I won't be taking him again.

This class was awesome! attendance is important if you expect to know the material, participation matters. Brady was great at having class discussions in lieu of online discussion posts. The theory project, your final, was so fun to make. This is not an easy A and will require attendance, participation. Highly recommend brady for any COMM class.

Brady is genuinely such an amazing professor. He was funny and understanding and made sure everyone was comfortable. Every other class you had to bring in a presentation. The theory project was super fun, make sure you start early though. I learned so much from this class and he created a welcoming environment. 10/10, would take again.

Brady is a nice professor. However, I didn't like how the discussions were formatted in APA PowerPoint.

Carey is a great public speaking instructor. His instructions were clear and he made sure you were prepared for each speech. Attendance for speeches matters, so make sure you show up!

I took public speaking with Brady, and on the first day of class, he told us to get up and go outside so we can play a game. It was a bonding, let loose game that ended up with so much laughter and fun. I loved how personal and down to earth he is, and I would absolutely reccomend taking a class with Brady.

If you find errors in Brady Carey's grading rubrics, could be different for each student, he will not give you full credit for the assignment (visual discussions). This is a way he signals that he will be marking you down points on the assignments. Look for any in your documents and make sure you let other people know.

I took Public Speaking with Brady. He comes off as a chill guy, but is extremely biased against specific students. He claims to meet you where you're at but my grading was inconsistent and depended heavily on how good his day was going. Left 2/3 of my presentations feeling disrespected and like he just wanted to put me down. Unfortunate but whatevs

He is fair, he can tell if students don't put in the effort. I like that he wants everyone to be respectful.

Bad online platform, poorly laid out expectations, nitpicky, and far too political. Was supposed to learn about communication instead learned about how much I should hate white people. Far to politically leaning to be a neutral course and way to specific guidelines that often have no relation to the studied chapters. 0/10.

Teaches lots of good information and definitely is helpful even if your nervous at public speaking. He is a bit nitpicky but if follow the rubric throughout your speeches you should be alright. He definitely has bad days but most of the time is a friendly guy you can talk to. A little bit political but not really overbearing.
