Classmates came late every class or were on their phones and he never stopped them. As long as you dont say too many umms in your speeches, you will get a good grade! Overall, enjoyed the class!

Loved him as a professor and a person. Very clear in what he expects and is fun in class. He makes time go by so fast and I learned so many things about speeches and communication. Wished he taught other courses. He is very good.

Professor Fama is fantastic. He is very chill and makes class funny/entertaining. He'll get back to you in no time if you have a question or concern. He makes you more and more comfortable as you do your speeches so not only does he make class fun, but he actually does his job. Best professor I've had at Valencia and I highly recommend.

Of all my professors at Valencia, he is my all time favorite. The class was amazing and he is very fun and energetic. He made us all feel at ease giving speeches. Sad the class ended. We had a nice end of semester party. Love you Professor Fama!

Very fun class. I was very happy to have taken these classes. The professor is funny and very understanding. I highly recommend it, but do not miss his classes, as that will lower your grade.

I felt Professor Fama was very fair. In reviewing the review below the professor did say that attendance is part of our overall grade. He did go over that in class. I learned a lot in his class and he was available outside of class when I had a question or concern. I would recommend him to others to take his class.

Professor Fama is an amazing professor. He makes the course very easy, there are four speeches and he doesn't grade them too harshly. There are also open-book quizzes that are based on the lectures. He's probably one of the best professors that teaches at Valencia College.

He was a chill professor, and he had few assignments. He had two discussion assignments and four quizzes, which were pretty easy (10 questions, 90 mins), and also four speeches throughout the year. An introduction speech, a demonstration speech, an informative speech, and a persuasive speech. He was easy to access and responded within minutes

He is certainly not boring like other classes I have taken here. He does get back to you quickly and he is very fun in class. So glad I signed up. He is very clear in his communication.

I did not think I would like speech but once I got in Professor Fama's class it was awesome Made each class fun and you can see he has passion for teaching. Clear communication and quick to grade. I texted him about a question and he got right back to me, I was shocked as other professors never get back to you. Very memorable as he is not boring.
