He's really cool. I dreaded taking this class in the beginning, but he makes you feel relaxed about it. He makes you come out of your shell. You can't fail unless you go out of your way to not try at all. He gives answers to midterm and final questions. How can you go wrong? I loved his class.

Good teacher. Doesnt expect you to be a expert audience speaker, but expects you to try. Grades mostly on presentations and tests, but he helps you by giving reviews. Also, if youre shy he helps you out during your presentations (usually). A + if you do everything he asks for, which isnt a lot.

He is an extremely easy professor! He is very lenient. Remember guys, this class is not public speaking so you will be learning about other aspects of communication. I didn't really learn anything new that I already knew before I went in. We only had 3 simple speeches that we had to do the entire semester. I thought he was okay, neutral.

You have to take this teacher. I took him in Virtual (online) and he is super easy. You only have to record 3 videos, No test. If you ask question he will take prox 3 -4 days to answer so you have to patience because all professor who teaches online takes time to respond. Alot of sutends send e-mails. But he's very good teacher. I got an A :)

Only 3 speeches (first one:2 mins, second: 5 mins, last: 10 mins) a couple easy essays and you're done. His grading is totally fair, he won't take away points if you make few mistakes. He's great!

Hmm...how can I say this without being mean...He could improve on various things about his teaching. He is wayyy too slack for my taste. He gives too few reviews about the material. The rest of the time you just sit there as an audience to your classmates. You can literally skip half the semester. Quirky to the point of being frustrating. Pass!

Through online classes, its super easy. But for me it was too easy, I enjoy ACTUAL learning. I think I used the textbook once. This professor needs to get organized, he takes weeks to grade something & takes several days to answer back any emails if at all. He never really did fill out the calendar. The whole course is unstructured & unorganized.

I had him for Virtual College. He wasn't hard, but he wasn't easy. He made it so that you had to work for your grade, but he wasn't unfair. It wasn't great doing speech online (for obvious reasons), but doing his class was fun. I suggest you take him in person, though. I took him online and it seemed he was busy often; seemed distant a lot.

He's funny, and super chill. If you're a nervous person when it comes to public speaking I recommend taking his class.

He's so funny and chill. Took him for summer, we just do group podcasts. My best advice is to be early cause sometimes it's just 10 mins we're there takes attendance and we leave. Hw but easy honestly stress free class!! No tests.

He is so chill. We did 3 podcasts that are all very easy. The rest of the work is with mcgraw hill and they're just online assignments and quizzes. He's very caring and this class didn't require much effort it's very easy to pass just do the work.
