Professor Corby was very helpful and alwyas available to students via email or phone. He made public speaking fun. Concepts from the book were applied to real-life scenerios and the material was interesting. The focus of the class was interpersonal communication. I'm soooo glad I took this professor! The best I've had at ever! Also, very hot!

Prof. Phillips is the BEST! Had him for SPC2608. While you have to do some work, it's totally manageable and he is flexible. Only two tests (midterm and final) and they are all multiple choice questions. One thing though - he does not play with attendance. You must be on time and come to class regularly. Attendance is key to earning an A.

By far the best professor I've had the pleasure of working with in my entire college career. His lectures are extremely interesting, and most importantly they supply you with the tools you need to communicate effectively in a professional, and formal environment. He's also very helpful with any personal issues you may have that can effect you grade

I took Professor Corby for spring. I dreaded taking speech, but Professor Corby was fun, interesting, and honest. I would take his class again. Plus, hes easy on the eyes!

I took speech with Professor Corby for Summer A. He is interesting, funny, and knowledgeable about public speaking and communication. The best. I dreaded taking speech but this professor was fun and easy going.

He's smart and also funny! I dreaded taking public speaking but Professor Phillips was interesting. I would take him again. The tests aren't easy. Instead, you really had to think. He's down-to-earth and approachable.
