Very helpful. He keeps his speech classes light with his sarcastic humor. The class itself is inherently easy, the toughest part for some is just doing a speech. His syllabus gives you plenty of time to grow accustomed to giving a speech.

Religion needs to be added to topics not allowed to do a speech on. If I wanted to take a religion class I would have. Religion belongs in the home, not the classroom. This is not a private religious school. I almost did a speech on atheism but knew my religious teacher had to grade me. Good class other then all the religion.

Warner's speech class is not about giving a good speech, it's about following his methods. While I still made an A, I was deeply displeased that it was all about delivering a speech the way HE wanted it, instead of just an awesome speech. Deductions during speeches seemed a bit much to me, but overall an easy course if you show up.

Professor Warner has the simplest lectures on how he wants the outline. Once you follow his steps in how he wants his outline and don't miss your major speeches you will pass. Do not be late for major speeches? The lowest grade gets dropped. He gives great feedback and re-check your outline if you want him too. He offers extra 25 points for perfect

I would take a toastmaster class with this professor if I could (for my future career and many more weddings of course!). He helped me completely get out of my comfort zone. I never have a gut to speak in front of strangers, now I feel more confident. Thank you Professor Warner!!

This was the easiest class I took in College. I had 7 assignments (3 of them only took about 2 minutes each and the other 4 were easy speeches.)The teacher was amazing, very responsive, and graded easy and fast. My favorite class and teacher. No final or quizzes (my friend was in a different speech class and had a 50 question final and quizzes)

Professor Warner was great! I thought I would hate this class but I actually enjoyed it. This class consists of some lectures, 8 minor speeches (participation grade), 5 major speeches (drops the lowest), and 5 homework assignment (very easy). He also gives extra credit to perfect attendance. If you follow his outline guideline, you will do great.

This was one of my favorite classes I took in the fall of 2022. The assignments consisted of 5 homework assignments, 8 minor speeches, and 5 major speeches. Prof. Warner drops one major speech at the end of the semester. When the major speeches begin, he locks the door so the speaker will not be interrupted. Just make sure you are early.

Professor Warner is the best teacher I have had at college. He truly cares about the success of his students, and is always available to assistance. His lectures are both entertaining and informative. Students who follow his advice, and suggestions will benefit from this class.

If you follow his instructions and strive to be better/improve with every speech, you'll do just fine. I have anxiety and thought I would be getting a C at best but ended up with an A. Don't get me wrong, it was still a challenge. If you show him respect, he will do the same.

I have stage fright. Everything goes blank when public speaking . Other teachers allow you to read off the paper that you have written. Im a single parent and I work 60 hours a week. He seems to have no understanding of life outside of class. If I was 20 with no responsibilities it might be a different story.

I went into this class super anxious but I left with less social anxiety and knowing how to speak intelligently to others. Warner is very respectable, lectures are easy, and is always very helpful. I would recommend him to anyone who plans to take this class.

I was scared of speaking in front of the class until this class. Professor Warner is understanding and can relate to a lot of us when speaking in front of a class. I highly recommend taking his class.

Great professor, great class. I hate public speaking and I was super nervous about taking this class, but he was very helpful and super clear about everything and this ended up being a really good class. I learned a lot and have recommended this class already to a bunch of people. I really enjoyed this class, to my surprise.

Professor Warner is great! I hated speaking in public (and still do), but I felt that he equipped me to do it well. He is an excellent lecturer and gives clear directions. It's important to be in class, so don't sign up for his class planning to not attend.

I would definitely take this professor again. I have a hard time speaking in front of others. He made multiple efforts for us to feel comfortable around each other and made the guidelines for speeches incredibly clear. I would definitely recommend him!

Prof Warner is very clear and concise about what he expects. There are 3 main graded speeches and other prep work. I thoroughly enjoyed his class, and if you abide by what he asks, you are guaranteed an A.

Professor Warner's SPC2608 class was a game-changer for my public speaking skills. While the workload was manageable, his guidance and Unstuck study made all the difference in overcoming my anxieties and delivering strong speeches.
