so he is hilarious and fun and hates staying more than 1/2 an hour in class! he is more than willing to let you redo homework to make sure you understand the topics rather than worry about your grade. If you try even a little he will reward you will decent debate scores. his tests are written (not m/c) so if you write enough and have an idea of whats going on you will do fine. just know the definitions of the topics he covers and you will ace every test. id highly reccommend him as a teacher!

This class is easy to pass, but he is a horrible teacher. His book was filled with many mistakes and missing information. And he doesn't explain the material very well.

Very friendly, helpful, and funny. Hard grader on debates. Tests were not that hard, but definitely study the notes. Vague when it comes to exactly what he wants on assignments. We were all confused. Almost never used the book, but the book is actually the teacher, since we mostly debated. Got out a few minutes early often.

This is such a hit or miss class. It could be easy if you understand debate and techniques already. If you are taking it as a critical thinking class, I would suggest another option. You can easily get a C in this class or lower, and he is the only one who teaches it, so you can't retake with another Proff. He is really vague and unhelpful. Beware.

Kresse is great! He can be super unorganized, though, and you lose 20 points if you don't do your speech... and you don't always know when or if you're going up. His book is not the best, but he gives good notes! Gives pretty great extra-credit opportunities, if you can do them. Lets you choose your own topics and tests are pretty easy.

Kresse is a super chill guy. I took debate because it's required for my major, so I wasn't particularly ever excited to go to class but Kresse made it pretty fun. He's very nice and is always cracking jokes and keeping the class light. Tests not too bad as long as you study (since he doesn't prep you well) and debates can be challenging. Work hard.

Very entertaining prof & a cool guy all around. My top 2 tips for this class: be organized w/ your arguments & listen to his feedback for later debates. Go with the flow; he rarely answers questions directly & u may feel lost if you're not self-motivated. He doesn't teach you how to debate but gives general guidelines. Take if you want a challenge!

Prof. Kresse's COMM100 class is a real gem - super laidback and easy, with just a few speeches to deliver. He's hilarious and very generous with grading. I found unstuck ai super helpful for speech prep along with the class materials.

Very helpful in assessing how to present a speech, especially for someone without much experience in public speaking. He also offered good extra credit opportunities like going to a speech competition. Very friendly and knowledgeable.

Please do NOT take this class with this professor. He is a nice man but can NOT teach a class properly. This is the only class I have ever had that I gave up on because he was so disorganized and hard to communicate with. He does not fully explain anything, everyone in the class winged everything because we were all so clueless.

This was a really good class, there were only 4 speeches students had to do throughout the whole semester, and a couple quizzes which were all multiple choice. You could choose any topic for your speeches and the Professor was really chill and graded leniently.

I could never make sense of what he was trying to say. His lectures are confusing which makes the tests confusing but they're generally pretty easy. You're only really graded on 4 speeches which can be on whatever you want which is pretty chill. You kind of need to wing it in this class.

This guy is the goat. He's hard to access outside of class, but you probably won't need additional help since everything is pretty much self-explanatory. Speeches could be about any topic which is cool. My advice is to make a friend in this class to help you not fall behind. Read the textbook to help you pass tests. Super laid back class, 10/10.

This professor is good. As someone who's kinda quiet, taking this class was pretty fun, however, if you are like me, prepare for A LOT of presentations in front of your class. Writing drafts for these presentations can take up some of your time, but they're manageable and fun. He's very funny and lenient. However, he can be unorganized sometimes.

Super great guy, always wants to engage with everyone. I'm a quiet person, but Professor Doug made me want to interact and engage more with the class.

He's an OG communication professor; he knows the drill. He's a tough grader, but it's fine if you're prepared to do four presentations; that's all you need for a B. If you study for the exams, you can get an A. He's old-school, but sometimes he mixes up classes, so you might need to remind him what you did last time.

Great professor who cares about helping his students become good communicators. Also, sign up for the speech competitions! My peers and I received many extra credit points just from the speech tournaments and it ended up being one of the most memorable experiences!

Amazing prof, extra credit for days if you attend two extra debates, you could pass the class with that, will say, you have to be willing to put in work to understand how debate works, tests are easy-ish, you have to put in work to understand what you are debating, but this was a fun easy class, please take this guy if you want fun lects and credit
