He lectures and puts his outlines on blackboard and all of his tests are based off of the outlines word for word sometimes! He's an amazing teacher and speaks to the students like actual people instead of idiots like some teachers do. He always makes class exciting and engaging.

The continuous support and advice I got from Professor Glen allowed me to push myself to be better and motivated me to come to class every day. After the 6 week course, I can confidently say I am better at speaking in public than before. I believe that "stepping out of one's comfort zone is the only way to grow as a person".

Awesome teacher. Quizzes on every chapter, but are graded on a curve. Quizzes are open book, NOT open notes, I took notes in my book. Posts lecture outlines online, review them before the quiz. If you get A's on all quizzes you don't have to take the final. Participation matters so show up and speak up. Fun topics delivered in a fun relatable way.

He can be kind of OP but thats what makes him funny, I really enjoyed his class. I recommend getting the book because you can use it for quizzes and the final. There are a few assignments but they're pretty easy. As long as you do the assignment you'll get a good grade. His lectures are easy to follow.

I had Chad for MCOM 40+41, he honestly made my experience at Chabot the best! He is a professor who wants their students to pass! He's very understandable w/ his students, he lets you use the textbook on quizzes AND the final. Be sure to pay attention to the Final Review at the end of the semester, it's PRETTY familiar to the final.

I loved taking Professor Chads class. Hes very funny but serious when need be. He explains things thoroughly and is always open to answering any questions you might have. The speeches start out easy but get slightly more difficult as class goes on. He grades easy and always gives good feedback oh and always gets back to your emails quickly.

This was a class I looked forward to attending each week. Prof is so chill and a lenient grader. He is looking for improvement in your presentations, not perfection. There are only 4 presentations so once you finish the rest of the class is a breeze and just taking quizzes. absences reflect on your grade. Do the work and you'll pass.

I have social anxiety, this class was challenging as some of the presentations were group presentations. All my partners dropped out which I had to do alone. The professor gave great feedback on improving, but the group presentations killed my grade as doing both parts stressed me out to the point I found it hard to continue going to class.

Chad Glen is a wonderful professor--having taken a hybrid version of his class made it a bit more difficult, but nonetheless, his grading was clear and his feedback was very useful. I actually watched my classmates get better and better at doing their speeches as the semester went on... His Canvas set-up is weird, so maybe try in-person with him!

I recommend taking him if you are taking communication.

I avoided taking COM because I am super anxious & introverted but let me tell you if you absolutely suck at public speaking take this class rn cause as long as you give your best effort you will pass he just cares about. I never thought I could pass even less with an A but here we are. Turn things in on time & do the all the speeches even if late.

Professor Glen cares about his students a lot and is very funny. Gives great feedback but is also kind of odd. He asks very personal questions to students after their speeches that they have to answer in front of the whole class. He'll also tear you a new one if your speech sucks. He's not trying to be mean tho, I think he just doesn't realize it.

Professor Glen did not do much teaching; most of the class consisted of listening to other students speak. You are usually only required to take notes on the speeches you are assigned. Most of the time, he just sits in the back and observes, but his requirements for each student seem to vary.

He's a great professor, he will challenge you and try to get you out of your comfort zone. He is a nice, chill guy.
