excellent teacher, makes speech class fun and interesting, and for those who are nervous about speaking in front of the class, like I was, he is the teacher to take! I did not feel threatened, or judged at all while doing my speech.
This guy is cool, funny, and very in touch with the students.
Mr. Jones is the best teacher on earth. He's funny, open minded, always wanting to learn new things, loving, and understanding. i have a little crush on him, even tho he's older than me, and married, but his personality is so awsome it made me like him.
He was an awesome teacher and did not judge you on your opinions. He made you feel very comfortable, and I became a better speaker because of his class
Delwyn is love! And if you take his class, he will tell you what that means! He's a wonderful man and I don't know where I would be had I not taken his class. He makes public speaking a more comfortable zone to be in and he knows his stuff!
Mr. Jones is a great teacher! He doesnt talk to you like you are a student. He talks to you like you are a real person and makes sure you are ok with speaking up in front of the class. Hes a cool guy. Nicely dressed too.
He is more like a friend to the students then a "professor." He is very entertaining and gives great weekend advice. If you dread public speaking like I do, then take him- he makes it so much better. Be sure to know what your favorite toilet
I love his class! I hate taking Com classes, but he makes his so much fun!! He really knows how to make you laugh when you don't want to be at school!
I love his class, and wish that I can take speech again!he made class so fun, anyone that meets would love and admire him so much.definitely take this class with him!
I didn't take his class, but he was my basketball coach and helped me with my COM 103 work (the course he teaches, I had another teacher) he's awesome.
Great teacher! Makes you feel very comfortable in class and about giving your speeches.
Mr. Jones Rocks!
Jones is a good guy! He grades a little hard on the speeches, but the tests were easy and he does offer extra credit all over the board. All in all, it's a balanced class, but truly one I had to work for to get that A.
You have to take speech and you HAVE to take it w/ jones!! He was one of the best teachers at moraine and I recommend him to everyone!
Amazing teacher, you will have so much fun in his class. He makes you laugh all the time, he does everything possible to help you with whatever you need. You will feel comfortable in his class. you get to know your classmates really well, some group work. Hes an amazing man, there isnt much else to say. TAKE HIS CLASS!hes one teacher you wont regre
this guy is awsome and he looks like the guy from the red stripe commercials
I've had one day of class and I can't wait to go back. he's an awesome guy with a lot of enthusiasm
That was the best class last semester. I'm not really afraid of public speaking but he was still funny and kept everyone interested. :-)
I dreaded taking a speech class but he made it so comfortable for everyone. He's very laid back, really easy to talk to, and has a great sense of humor. I had taken other speech classes before and Mr. Jones' class was by far the best.

Best speech teacher ever an easy A class and he is sooooooooo funny!!Take him do not take appelquist whatever you do she makes you say your speeches without a podium and you can only have two "guiding" words on a note card and the rest of the 8minute speech has to be memorized!!take mr.Jones!!!!!!!
Very disorganized teacher. Forgets alot of things and struggles with names of students. More of a comedian than a teacher. However, when he wants to he actually does share his knowledge. No hw, 4 exams which can be done with out much knowledge of anything. Big points for outlines and recorded speeches. Show up+ decent speech= A
One thing you have to understand is though he's funny he's also a man who knows what he's teaching. I find him very helpful when it comes to giving speeches in front of people. I like him a lot and I think he can help anybody who takes him seriously. Thank God He's a teacher.
Who is Delwyn Jones? Don't get pregnant. Don't go horizontal. Do take this class. Learned a lot about the Japanese tea ceremony. The only trouble he has is working a DVD player. 311 is a great topic for your speeches.
Mr Jones is the best. Anytime i missed class i jsut e-mailed him and got caught up. He is most accomidating and understanding. He is very funny and he makes speech class fun. I am so glad i took him. His weekend advice is also great. 4 easy tests and 3 speeches and u get to pick the topic. He lets u know everything u need in ur speech. YourtheBest!
He is the man!!!! I did not want to take speech, but Mr. Jones is an awesome guy, very fun, very laid back, and lots of jokes, 4 tests 3 speeches, easy A, Dont forget to ask him about his CD
I love Mr.Jones!!! He is seriously by far the best teacher I had Moraine!! I recommend him 100%!! Not only is he a great teacher and an easy grader, he also is very funny!! That guy cracks me up all the time!! If ur nervous about giving speeches, he is someone you want to take because he makes you feel comfortable! <3 Him!!

Mr Jones is one of the best teachers I had at Moraine. I am not the best in speaking in front of people i don't know, but he helps you any way possiable to get over the fear. Its not an easy A, but if you try and show effort, you will pass with flying colors.
he is a great person/teacher but man he is a very hard grader! seriously! we had fun in his class alot of fun but i do recommend him ! he is seriously the best communication teacher we have in moraine! this guy is a cool man! final is hard because he didnt write it but he goes over it the class before, because we dont do any work before that1
HE IS THE GREATEST TEACHER AND SPEAKER. WAS AWARDED TEACHER OF THE YEAR. HE GAVE A GREAT SPEECH AT GRADATION AND WAS AWESOME IN CLASS.
DJ YOURE THE BEST! This speech class was incredible. This class was very fun and exciting it relieved your nerves about public speaking. It is great! I loved this class!! He is a hard grader but an excellent teacher.
Mr. J. is cool. I like his style. He has a strong knowledge of the material and he explains it very clearly; plus, he's very funny. He's pretty good looking too.
Coach is the greatest!
I honestly loved this class. Hated public speaking, and literally dreaded the idea of taking this class. But jones makes public speaking def. easier. his tests r like his notes. hes not a bad grader on speeches, just PRACTICE b4 n make sure u have a rly good intro n concl!
Coach Jones is one of the best human beings I've ever met. Not only was I fortunate to have him for two courses 101/103, the school is fortunate to have him as a professor, and the educational world is fortunate to have him representing the education. He is truly one of a kind when it comes to greatness - from the toilet paper speech to the final.
Super nice guy!!!
OKAY, Mr. Jones was a great and funny guy but i was very disappointed with the outcome of my grade last semester! He said that we was willing to compromise as far as raising your grade and when i approached him with my request he told me that he would raise my grade b/c i attended all his classes but NEVER DID!!!
Ok i was not looking forward to this class even though i took his online class. But Mr. Jones makes it so much fun and when you go in for the speech he is so laid back and a cool guy. If you dont like your grade just go up to him and tell him and he will change it. But if you take his online class he takes a while to get back to you if you have a ?
Mr. Jones class is an interesting class, he goes to those places that not many teachers will (ex: discussing "the n word"). You really need to read the chapters and study, his tests will kill you if you don't!But, he is funny and really cares about his students. Also, provides tons of extra credit.
Professor Jones is the best! I needed to take speech for the nursing program and was not looking forward to it. Mr. Jones made speech fun and less intimidating. His quizzes were fair and the final was easy. If you are going to take speech, take it with Mr. Jones........he's the best!
As far as a speech class goes, this is the best option. Mr. Jones is helpful, laid back, and an easy grader. No complaints at all.
There are simply not enough O's in smooth to explain D. Jones.
I am very disappointed in this teacher. Waste of time.
I took his online section it was okay. The directions arent always clear and he doesn't always respond to his emails. Would rather take this class in person than online.
Awesome teacher but grades hard. Be in class and on time and do what he says.
BEST TEACHER ON THIS EARTH I WOULD TAKE HIM FOR EVERY CLASS IF I HAD A CHOICE!!!
I showed up to every class, took notes and participated, however I ended up with a B. Very unorganized, for example, he forgot what my presentation was about so he automatically gave me a 100%. Very unclear about expectations and assignments but if you like a very laid back classroom, he's the teacher for you!
Just a good teacher. I like his style. If you can't get with Jones, YOU were doing something wrong. I like classes where you can have fun and learn something as well. I'm a better speaker because of Jones.
I took this online and it was great! Quizzes are easy and you just have to go on campus three times for speeches. He also offers a lot of extra credit. I would definitely recommend taking him.
Not a good teacher:( Does not use textbooks forgets about your presentation and his tests are pretty hard. Don't take him if you want a good teacher. I did not have a good experience
An excellent instructor. He is definitely in the right profession. I was not looking forward to speech class because I hate public speaking and get super nervous, but am I glad I took JONES. The groups get broken down into just a few people and he is super cool so it helps calm the nerves. The book is needed for the tests and final. Take Jones!
this dude is an absolute BEAST he is just a cool dude (which he tells u day 1) he is laid back jokes alot he tells u right off the bat this is an easy A with minimal effort if u get a C or lower ur not even tryin total of 3 speeches an info a persuasion and a tribute and the tribute is very short n unorganized book never use in class again easy A++
hands down one of the best professors i have ever had. his class is an absolute pleasure. however your gonna want to use the speaking and writing center and his tests are hard
He has to be the best com teacher at MVCC! I highly recommend taking him!! great character and makes giving speeches a breeze!
He is a great teacher! Do all your work on time and do extra credit and you should have no problem getting a good grade. I hate talking in front I people and mr jones class made it a lot easier. I took the online speech and only had to go in for speeches. It was great. I would take his classes again if I have a chance
Class was great. It was by no means easy but Prof Jones makes it enjoyable was always there for us. I learned lots and would recommend him as a professor to anyone!
D. Jones makes the course work easy and builds everybody's confidence for giving speeches. By the end of the class, even the quietest student can get up there and give a great speech. He answers your inquiries quickly, and uses many tools for the on-line classes. I highly recommend taking his classes.
MR JONES IS THE BEST!! He is FANTASTIC! I am very shy and quiet, but he made me feel so comfortable and capable standing in front of the class while making a speech. He gives you the most freedom in choosing topics and he is VERY fair. EVERYONE SHOULD TAKE HIM!
Best teacher I had at Moraine so far. His three week course flew by he made it really fun. Really nice guy. taking him is a must!
Mr. Jones is literally the best professor I've ever had! I hate giving speeches but he makes the class feel comfortable and he is very understanding. He makes the class super entertaining and it flies by! Take him!!!! You won't regret it :)
Best teacher! Very helpful and makes it very difficult to not get an A! 4 tests, 3 speeches and attendance. He wants you to do well and is very helpful. Take Jones!! You will not regret it! You can maybe get by without the textbook but you'll need it to review for tests.
Mr. Jones is a fun teacher to take, but honestly this semester he didn't seem like he knew what he was doing, hes a good teacher but when it comes to lectures he expects you to speak like a professional, we're just students cut us some slack, really enjoyed his class but i wish i dropped while i had the chance.
Mr. Jones is the MAN! can't even begin to describe how awesome class was this semester! I now could give speeches and not sound like I'm stoned. Hilarious guy, great class, TAKE HIM!
He is an EXCELLENT instructor! There is plenty of extra credit! His laid back and humorous personality will help ease any anxiety about public speaking! He also allows you to redo assignments for a better grade. Older editions of the textbook are ok. I used the 10th edition (art of Public Speaking Stephen Lucas)
Mr. Jones was by far the best teacher I had at moraine! I took his 3 week class and he was excellent. Always made sure you understood what was going on, and always made sure we had time to do the work. I strongly recommend him especially if your shy! He works with you.
Mr. Jones was my teacher for speech class. He is a very understanding and kind teacher. His personality is very good and he makes the overall course and class environment very comfortable and enjoyable. I enjoyed him as my teacher and I loved the course.
This was the worst professor of my life. First online class i took and possibly the last. He was absent nearly the whole semester, doesnt answer emails, takes points off for whatever he wants. He is a VERY late grader. I didn't have a grade for my first speech until 2 weeks before the final. 3 speeches total. Definitely the worst online professor.
HE IS THE BEST TEACHER IN THE WORLD!! HE MADE THE CLASS SO AT EASE AND IT WAS SO FUN. I TOOK HE'S 3 WEEK COURSE AND I GOT AN A. ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS WORK ON YOUR SPEECHES. GREAT CLASS! GREAT MAN! INSPARATIONAL
I took Mr. Jones for Honors Com 103 and Interpersonal Communications 203, well what can I say. He is one the best instructors I've ever had at Moraine Valley. Mr. Jones is very funny, passionate about the subject, cares about the students and is always fair. The assignments are well explained. He is strict about the attendance. Easy A.
Mr. Jones is one of the best teachers you can take at moraine. Hes funny and makes you feel at ease about doing speeches. Her gives a ton of extra credit and tries to make class fun while teaching . 3 main speeches, but they are easier than you think because he preps you for them. If you can take him, do so. A++++ teacher.
Interpersonal Communication is a great class, ESPECIALLY with The Delwyn. He's hilarious, the class is very engaging, you talk about nothing but relate-able topics, very fun classroom discussions. He does have a tendency to slack when putting grades in, but the class is easy and fun so it really does not matter.
Mr. Jones is a lively, funny, knowledgeable professor. Jones is a fair grader, he allows room for discussion of grades. Offers extra credit, come to class and you will do good. Loves to make jokes, would definitely recommend taking his speech class.
I ADORE Jones!!! I have taken him for Com 103 and Com 203. He makes you feel so comfortable and gives such good feedback. He's also HILARIOUS. I wish I could take more classes with him.
Great professor. Gives lots of feedback on speeches and offers a lot of extra credit throughout the class.
Stop reading the reviews and take Mr. Jones! Just do it. He's simply awesome.
If you are going to take m online, be aware of the this: outside of class, he is a very busy person. He is in charge of many organizations and I believe is a basketball coach for MVCC. He won't reply all of the time and will be absent at times. Good professor overall, and is very caring for his students, however, take the class in person.
This is THE WORST professor ever to take if you take this online. He never ever grades on time, and doesn't care about his online students. Being an online professor, he should be extremely cautious with time, as he is very bust outside of his school life. Just shouldn't be teaching an online class if he doesn't have the time and effort to put in.
Mr. Jones is the most iconic teacher I have ever had. He is so funny and genuinely cares about his students. He rarely shows up to class on time and sometimes may be a little unorganized which can be a little annoying. He helps a lot with your speeches and makes everyone feel comfortable! Offers a lot of extra credit!! Overall, Take Mr. Jones!!!
He is aweful with responding to students via email which it says in the syllabus, this is the best way to contact him. He told me I should pick a different topic for my speech because, I dont think it will be easy for you, like you dont even know me this is only my second assignment submission.
Delwyn is the chillest teacher ever. He's very forgetful and takes a while to put in grades but he's super to get along with and understanding. Easy A if you're afraid of public speaking. Also, he jokes around A LOT so don't take his jokes seriously at all. Overall just show up to class. That's all you have to do.
This professor is awful, he does not answer emails or messages on canvas, he did not let you know what you did wrong on your speeches. For being a communications class professor he was awful at communicating, he may have a lot of things going on besides his in-class sessions but that is not an excuse to neglect your online classes. A complete F.
He is GREAT!! super fun and easy class as long as you do the simple assignments he asks of you. Kind of unorganized but it is not that big of a deal. Offers a lot of random extra credit
He's a very nice person, but his teaching skills as well as being an all around good teacher lacks. He was never on time and his grading never made sense. If he gave rubrics for us to go off of, he wouldn't even follow it. Getting in contact with him is difficult. If you don't show up to class you miss A LOT of info for speeches/hmwk/tests.
Literally the easiest class I have taken. Jones gives as much extra credit he can and actually helps your grade rather than just tear it up through these speeches.
Delwyn Jones was one of the best professors I've ever had. Provides numerous opportunities for extra credit, VERY lenient on due dates, and encourages healthy debate. Jones is hilarious and makes everyone laugh. As long as you read for his pop quizzes and show up, you'll probably get an A. If you need a structured class, this may not be for you!
Great teacher. Ask him about his puppet that he keeps in his office. He will bring it to class. Hilarious
He is funny
Jones made class very fun. He gives out LOTS of extra credit and his criteria for speeches is VERY clear. If you follow the rubric you'll get an A easily. However, the class was a bit disorganized and you will fall behind if you don't stay on top of the assignments.
Mr. Jones is the best teacher ever! If youre nervous about taking a speech class, hes the perfect teacher to have.
TAKE HIS CLASS. Professor Jones is one of the kindest, most caring, and genuine professors I've had at MVCC. He makes every single class so enjoyable, you can't help but be excited to learn. He's a teacher that puts in the extra effort and you can feel how passionate he is about helping his students succeed. I wish I could take more of his classes.
Loved this prof. He made speech class fun and you can tell he loves what he is doing. He is very lenient with due dates but gives extra credit if you turn things in on time. Attendance was mandatory but it was totally worth it. I really enjoyed this course.
Delwyn was honestly my favorite professor I have ever had! He always enjoyed communicating with all of his students and kept his class interesting.
Hes a great speech professor and always extends due dates if students ask him to, he gives extra credit whenever he can and he just wants everyone to pass and have a good time. I took his virtual class so attendance was kind of mandatory but time goes by fast in his class because hes a great Professor. Definitely recommend taking his class!
Such an easygoing teacher. He gave such helpful feedback on all the speeches, follow the guidelines and you should be good. Not too much homework, 18 easy 10 point quizzes for a free 180 points. You will have to put in some effort, but not too much to get an A. If you don't pass with an A or B, you honestly didn't try.
Great prof., he clearly loves what he does. Sometimes hard to reach outside of class hours and sometimes a little disorganized with dates. 3 speeches, chapter quizzes, and a couple group projects and LOTS of extra credit. If you put in effort, easy A.
Dont take this class online and if you have mental disabilities, hes not your guy. Requires an audience of 8 people to do this at home. Dude? Covids going on. People are recovering from trauma and no one wants to listen to a dumb essay. Takes off hella points if you dont have 8 people. Really messed up.
Absolutely loved Mr. Jones. He was a gem who made speech fun. He cares for his students and wants them to get A's. Gives opportunities to make-up work. Gives a lot of extra credit. Lectures cover the textbook so it's not necessary to live in the textbook. Overall a hilarious and amazing guy. Would take him again 10/10.
Took his speech class online. We only had a total of 3 speeches and he graded really easily. I got an A on all of my speeches and I put them off to the last second. I recommend Jones for online classes !!
Professor Jones makes this required speech class a blast. He gives out a bunch of extra credit, doesn't grade harshly, and has a fun personality. There aren't many complaints I have about him and he was my favorite professor I had last semester. Make sure you sign up for his class as soon as possible since his spots fill up quickly.
Take his class over the summer! The easiest class ever. There is 3 speeches and easy quizzes for easy points. He also just a cool guy and gives lots of opportunities for extra credit. He made my first college class actually enjoyable
Super funny, relatable, and fair. A lot of extra credit opportunities, totally open to answering any questions. A lot of long introductory lectures to speeches, but only a couple of actual speeches- he makes sure you feel comfortable and prepared. 10/10 as long as you do the work, you will pass with a fine grade, plus he is super understanding.
I do not recommend this professor. I took his online course and I wish I didn't. He is a tough grader and does not want to see a student succeed. I was graded unfairly on many assignments. I'm confused about how all of these ratings are good. Trust me he is not a professor you want to have for this course.
jones a dawg he was funny and chill asf and really is an easy class A. I just forgot a speech class actually comes with doing speeches so im taking it online. overall great dude but YOU CAN NOT REACH HIM OUTSIDE OF CLASS. that's the one thing that pissed me off Id ask him to open assignments for me multiple times and never did after he said he yes
Do not take an online section from this professor. I believe he may not be familiar enough with technology to teach an online course that can be navigated. As a person who is new to giving speeches, this was not the right professor to go with. Do not recommend if you have speech anxiety.
Gives good amount of extra credit but is really a tough grader. I took him online if you taking him online have 6 people at least to pass your class if less he will take of points. But he is really nice and responds quick through canvas mail. Chill teacher
He isnt reliable at all doesn't respond to emails, or show up to office hours. I feel like he doesn't know how to navigate an online class successfully. A speech class shouldn't be this difficult. If you have speech anxiety or anxiety overall DONT TAKE HIM
This man well having a great personality and was nice and safe/ inviting, but he was horrible with feedback, and terrible with responding, and much like many pervious instructors, he was horrible at delegating with my disabilities. I definitely don't recommend him or woukd take his class again
Decent teacher, but when it comes to grading online assignments make sure you do them right since he won't guarantee second chances. He has a nice and funny attitude and also gives extra credit opportunities which balances it out at least. The speeches aren't bad if you do them on time which he also gives ec for
He was a nice, outgoing, and funny professor that offers a lot of extra credit opportunities. Don't forget that there are assigned quizzes with the textbook and make sure you actually read the textbook material because the final was consisted mostly of textbook information. Check if your grades are accurate, he messed up my grades a couple times.
Overall a good professor, difficult to reach out to him outside of class hours so you'll need to find time after class hours or during his office hours, as long as you complete you speeches on time a very simple and straight forward class
Professor Jones keeps the class fun and engaging. While attendance is mandatory, he's understanding and grades fairly. I found unstuck AI helpful for speech prep alongside the free textbook. Overall, a great class if you put in the work.
He was an amazing professor, always let us out of class early and never had homework. The amount of extra credit he offered was great. Never any tests just quizzes online due like every month. He only lectured for the first few weeks, then the rest of the semester were presentations. Some were group some were solo.
Professor Jones is one of those professors I was able to talk to outside of class about personal things and I really remember him for that. Overall, just a chill guy who is FUNNY ASL but his grading is a little strict, make sure you hit all the key points. He is NOT accessible outside of class, but he's a good guy and real.
DO NOT RECCOMEND IF YOU HAVE ANY SPEECH ANXIETY! he grades extremely tough when you read off your paper and don't do eye contact. Basically you have to memorize your speeches in order to get above a C on your speech, if you lack eye contact even if youre speech is amazing you will not get a high grade.
Actually the goat just take him
I took his class online, so my experience with him is different than an in-person section. I found that he is very picky and strict when it comes to doing speeches; he will find every mistake, so take away points. He gives amazing feedback. His grading criteria is tricky to comprehend, so be aware of that. Also, his communication isn't great.
I was scared of public speaking before this class, but he really makes everyone in the class feel heard and brought our class together. He does lecture some days, but they help you and are very funny and engaging. You do some group things in the beginning just to get comfortable and everyone is really supportive after you give your speech.
