This guy is one of coolest teachers I've known. Rock On Eddie

you only have one test the rest is speeches. Very fun!

Eddie is awesome! Very positive and encouraging. Makes a difficult class fun!

Great teacher! Very understanding and supportive. You will definitely get an A in his class if you do all of your speeches. There is extra credit. Do not be late for class tho, he docks off points for that.

MR. T!!!! you can get an A in his class if you just take his assignments seriously... he can be a lot of fun, but can't mix play time with school time... a lot of people messed up on their impromtus cuz they were still in play mode. coolest teacher @ ivc

What can I say? easy A class.

Edwin is great....he treats his students with respect and is very helpful. I got a lot out of his class-he's very charming.

Easy class if you do all the work

Greatest teacher ever had, he is very helpful and willing to help. If you want an easy A he is the right person to take. Great Guy!!

Man.. he's the coolest. YOU ROCK Mr.T

Mr.Tiongson is very helpful, and treats his students with respect.It's easy to get a B in this class but is very hard to get an A.

He is always available to help but don't expect an easy A. You need to work for it. If he doesn't like you, you can try your hardest including dressing up for presentation, coming in to class on time..etc and still end up with a grade lower than A.

I was so scared to take speech, but he's such a cool professor and he always laughed at my silly speeches which made me feel comfortable. Do your work and relax and you'll get an A!

Great Great teacher, best speech teacher i have had. Thanks Mr "T"

he's sooo chill!! TAKE HIM FOR SPEECH! he makes you feel comfortable when you're up there giving your speech...WAY CHILL guy! THANKS EDDIE!

I see a lot of easy class comments about him- but that is only if you get over your fear of public speaking. Tiongson is very cool, very helpful and I dig him.

i enrolled in speech before and drop out twice. When i had Mr. T, i stayed through it. I hate speech but this class is way cool. you'll like it and Mr. T is awsome..i miss that class

This guy is awesome, and extreemly cool and funny. Very laid back. Don't plan on any last-minute speeches, and you'll do fine. Do work and it's an A, plus lots of extra credit involved.

He is pretty cool and you can tell he was a partier so hes really chill about stuff, but you have to make an effort and stay on top of your speeches and youll get an A for sure

tiongson is nice and chill but also doesnt really seem like he gives a**** about his students. not really helpful. kinda makes you feel dumb like your wasting his time. class is easy though. just do your speeches. they're not hard. only one test. he has a strict attendance policy [5 absences=fail] but he secretly admited its just to scare ppl haha

One of the most down to earth professors you will ever meet. If you do your part as a student, he will keep his half of the bargain

Starts off easy with review of material and quizzes. Series of short speeches worth few points. Speeches get harder and longer with each subject matter (cultural artifact, argumentative, etc.). Easy midterm and final in class prep speech for final. Extra credit for attending speech/debate for school. Great teacher, very easy.

MR. T is awesome! First time I've ever not missed a single class because it was so good. You do a bit of work on the speeches but its easy to get a B, and a little more effort gets you an A. He is very fair. He is hilarious and is a good guy. Our whole class was laughing half the time and seemed to have a good time. I highly reccommend!

The best. Very fair to all students, I would suspect those who criticize him were unwilling to do the work. This is College!!Very funny in lectures. I learned alot.

good teacher, good speaker, get to miss some days too because he is the speech and debate coach

He's a funny guy. There's not really any material you have to know, just follow the guidelines. Don't procrastinate on your big speeches. And don't even thinking about TRYING to decipher his handwriting.

Helps a lot with speeches and is hilarious. Even though this class is speech he made it fun.

I was terrified of taking this course because I get so nervous speaking in front of people, but Mr. Ed is really caring and makes you feel at ease in his speech class. It is okay if you are a bad public speaker, Mr. Ed will help you, just pick topics that you are passionate about and you will do fine. I almost dropped this class, but I got an "A"

Mr. T is one of my best teahcers. Had him for an online class and have to say I absolutely loved his class. Made every speech for better improvements and was funny yet direct. Would absolutely take his class again

He is by far one of the best teachers I have ever had. He is so helpful, and he uses anolgies that the students can relate to. Pick a topic that you enjoy and you will surely succeed in his class.

this guy is a great teacher! I used to get really nervous when speaking in front of a class, but he was extremely helpful to help me get over this fear. Very entertaining and a very laid back and kind person. take his class, you won't regret it!

if you're thinking of taking a speech class you definetly have to take him! the class is pretty simple, just the whole memorizing your speech can be time consuming. you have 3 major presentations and little ones here and there. fun class. you just have to take the class seriously and put time into your speeches or else you won't get an A.

take him during the summer cuz its a lot easier and you can concentrate more on just this class (plus my counselor said speech is easier in the summer time). gives out extra credit if you dress up for your speeches it really is an easy and fun class. generous on points for pop quizzes. couldnt have had a better professor for this class.

Doesn't care about tardies much, 3 absences = letter deduction, accepts late work, uses an online book, two pop quizzes, some extra credit, video tapes speeches, a few impromptu speeches, overall nice guy. He gave me leniency and let me redo two speeches when I got too flustered.

I hate public speaking with a passion and Professor Tiongson didn't really help ease the nerves. After a couple of little speeches he expects you to be perfect and not to be nervous anymore. But he's a nice grader and he is always out of class bc he's in charge of the debate club.

Great teacher! Interesting lectures with useful information. The text was a bit of a snooze but it was not very expensive. Use lots of examples in your papers and try to make them humorous. Show up, do the work and you'll be sure to get a good grade.

Mr. T. is the best. Yes you have to work, but it is worth it. No slackers in this class but our class loved him. He does not play favorites. THE BEST PROFESSOR AT IVC.

Professor Tiongson is awesome. If you go to class, do the assignments, and participate in class discussions, you'll be fine. Easy A.

I took it in the summer. The written test was easy! The speeches, however, were difficult but manageable! Take his class! He's a GREAT teacher!

Mr. T is great! The class is fairly easy, but it's still college so don't expect to show up and get an A for doing nothing. DON"T MISS CLASS! He takes off a lot of points if you miss a day of class. Take his course!

Mr. T was great! Hes a funny guy and he makes speech easy using examples and makes students feel comfortable. Not so much of a fan of him recording our speeches but it was not that bad.

There are only 3 major speeches you do in front of the whole class but you do have to do a speech in front of a small group almost every week.Not terribly hard but not the easiest class either.

You will not find another professor who is more passionate about speech than Mr. T. At first I hated coming to class but as he shattered the fear of speech barrier through constant practice (in front of small groups) the class became more enjoyable. There were weekly reflection writing assignments which were a pain but that is my only complaint.

Prof is a really good teacher.great beginner class that cover the basics. Only thing is you do A LOT of speeches. Including practice ones and about 4-5 main speeches in front of the class. Be prepared to face your fears of public speaking other than fair grader and pretty good prof! Enjoyed his class and became a better speaker!

He's awesome. He makes you do a huge amount of speeches, and he's a little quirky, but he is still amazing.

by for the best and inspiration teachers i have had at IVC. In the beginning i was about to drop this class because he told us we had to do like 20 speeches, but my mom made me stay, and i do not regret one bit! ended up with an A in the class. and Real speeches are easy since you get so much practice from the practice speeches. best class ever.

hes a very good speech teacher. i happen to be someone who is comfortable speaking in front of people and i even learned a lot more. he makes it easy for the class to all get to know each other to make it easier on those who are shy. it really helps. recommend him.

Easy. To Ace this course, all you really have to do is turn in all of the papers (which btw are incredibly easy and repetitive) and participate in every speech and practice speech.

Great Professor. Passionate about speech, fair grader, and nice guy.

He is such a good professor, I say take the class. It is hard because you do more than 10 speeches during the semester but it is worth it. In order to get an A you need to get a good grade on the test and essay he gives at the beginning of the semester, and participate in all the impromptus and do all the speeches. Take the class, you'll like it

Really easy class. To ace this class all you have to do is to do all the PA assignments. We had to do 16 speeches, but it's really not that bad because most of them are in small groups and you get to know the people around you and it helps people who are shy. He is pretty nit-picky, but if you follow the format then you should be fine.

Great class. Very beneficial. He knows what he's teaching. He likes us to give a lot of speeches cz that's the only way to improve.

Good teacher. Very strict with abscense and never be late or else he will take off points. Gives a lot of speeches and tough grader. If you want to learn take his class, if you just want an "A", take another class.

Prof Tiongson does not give a lot of homework but he grades hard so make sure you are ready to do a lot of speeches and if you want an "A" you have to work harder than you think.

Mr. T is a great professor. He can make you hate public speaking less, and you will be good at it. He grdes really hard, and the class can be repetetive, but it is for your benefit. As for extra credit, he will have you dance for peanuts; the extra credit is worth less than the effort to get it. I highly recommend this class.

He coaches the IVC speech team which has won numerous state and national championships. He knows his stuff. It's not an easy A, but if you do all the speeches and listen to the advice he gives, you'll walk out a better public speaker than you were when you started, I sure did.

He is super chill professor. However, he gives plenty of homework and speeches basically in every class. He is a must if you really want to improve your skills.

This was not an easy class for me bec I was nervous to give a speech in English in front of the class. However, after many practices in small groups, I felt better and I did better each time. If you take Prof. Tiongson's advice in improving your speech, and he sees that you try, he won't keep an A from you. I learned a lot from this class. Thx Prof

Not that easy of a class, because your flaws as a communicator come out. Hes not that nice of a guy; he has a very passive-aggressive style of dealing with people. Be prepared to give speeches every class period. HW isnt that hard- and I didnt even get the book but still passed the class. Its not a class to float thru- you actually have to practice

He's a great professor who is committed to making you a better speaker. Expect frequent participation - speeches every class. Fair amount of work. PRACTICE. You'll make a lot of friends and it's really interactive, so it won't be too scary to talk. I was so upset for having to take the class but ended up really enjoying it. Got a lot out of it!

He is super funny and nice..i just thought it weird how we NEVER used the textbook but for like one question for the midterm which is an essay question. If your really uncomfortable speaking (like me) you will appreciate this class because he has you speak in small groups the whole time except for like 2 or 3 major speeches and by then its a breeze

This is the funnest class I ever had! i will miss this class and i will miss Mr. T! the class is very interesting cause i keep going back for more. its an easy A if you just keep doing your work!

Lots of HW, be expected to do essays about every day varying in size. Not an easy A.

Taken for speech and was actually a really good learning experience. You work in smaller groups throughout the semester which made it easy to make friends with everyone for the final, which is for the whole class. Clear instructions but didn't really need the book.

He's probably the best lecturer iv'e ever had, and since he is a speech professor anytime he talk it just blows my mind how amazing he is. Hands down, the best professor iv'e had at my time here at IVC

Took Prof. Tiongson's summer course and loved it! I came in super nervous and scared because we had to do like 20 speeches in 7 weeks- walking out comfortable speaking! He's thorough and works with you. Very well-respected. Take his class! Also, the textbook cost me $3. He's not the type to charge students a lot for course material

Stressful class (I have bad social anxiety) but truly helpful in the end. Gotta take his class at some point in your life. Helpful and supportive professor, however there's a LOT of work for just a speech class. Worth it in the end.

He is very funny and keeps you interested. If you participate in class and ask questions, then he really appreciates it. He is always willing to help. Expects you to be responsible and complete work, and will grade you baed on improvement. If you make sure to do the things he wants you to do then he will give you the A. Always ask for his opinion!

For 1/3 of the sem. he lectures, for the rest we got to practice generating/giving speeches to our peers most of the time. He's always willing to help whenever we have questions and is consistently clear on what he expects of us. 1 written midterm, 1 Forensics comp speech not intimidating, don't worry & 1 small ext speech + 1 large ext speech !

Super chill teacher, he's very considerate about being nervous to speak in the front so he makes students do speeches in small groups. there are impromptus in every class, 1 essay, 1 test, and the final is a 7 minute speech.

He's the coach of the IVC Speech & Debate team, so he knows what he's doing. I thought I'd hate this class because I hate public speaking, but it actually turned out to be really fun! Yes, you have to give a lot of speeches, but you get comfortable with it in the end, especially after you get to know your classmates and make new friends.

If you put in a little effort you are fine. He is a kind professor unless you don't try then he will be frustrated. If you do the work it's an easy A as I'm not a great speaker but still passed. if you miss one class your grade will be affected heavily but he allows you to make it up by going to other classes but your grade will still hurt a lil.

Excellent class and teacher!!

He can be a little harsh when it comes to grading, but he tries to help get rid of the flaws you might have. Even though it's online, he tries his best to respond and grade in a timely manner. There are probably other better professors out there, but he's teaching how to improve your character.

Prof. Tiongson was a great teacher! He was funny and engaging and the class itself was easy. One thing you need to prepare for is speeches. By the end of the semester, you are pretty much giving small group speeches every class. They aren't hard, but there are a lot of them. It is also important that you show up to class or you won't get credit.

Highly recommend his class.I took an 8-week course with him and although the course was intense, he allowed for 24-hour late permit and gave lots of interesting extra credit. If you complete the assignments and attend each class, you will get A. If there's one thing that could be improved, it's that I can't read his scribbled handwritten comments.

If you are a student who is willing to put effort throughout your college semesters, take this Professor. Many assignments are given continuously, but you could see the pattern and just keep it short for discussion posts if you're lazy, as long as the sentences meet the requirements. He may not ironically be good at communicating, but he's easy.

Eddie. I've never seen you teach. But I remember you once acted like you were doing me such a favor. It was clear you had already let the tenure position go to your head. And based on what I saw of your work back in college, I doubt your teaching warrants any sense of superiority you might display in your classroom (based on a few comments).

Being honest, Prof. T gives a very heavy workload! But if you want to learn and value the philosophy of learning from practice, pick him! But one thing to be cautious about is his announcements, which tend to be overwhelming. So, make sure to read every email, every word, and not miss anything.
