Horrible teacher, horrible curriculum and expecatations are unreal for anyone that is employed even part time. If you work and or have kids, do not take his distance learning course. It's the worst distance learning class I've come across after many yrs of taking them! I would NEVER recommend him

I got an A in his leture class. 3 assignments where you had to speek infront of the class. 1st you literally just read a story infront of the class. 2nd one you are with a partner and they interview you so you aren't up there alone. 3rd you spoke infront of the class for 7 min about anything you wanted to. Also grades on attendance & easy quizes.

Jeff is a descent teacher. He gives very very easy tests, just come to class and you will get A's. The speeches are relativly easy and he is plessant to work with. So if your looking for an easy A, this is your class( by the way, you won't even need to get the book for this class, because you will pass the tests if you just show up and take notes).

Professor Stringer speaks in a very monotone voice so make sure you drink your share of caffeine before the class. Review the chapter summary for each section and you will get an A in the class. And he is a stickler for attendance. Overall a good class, just remember the RedBull!

Dr. Stringer is very helpful in person. I took Interpersonal DIL, it was very frustrating as he has quizzes due during the week, which conflicted with work & the wording of the quizzes, especially the "Case Study" ones, were ambiguous, which brought my average down drastically. Otherwise, I learned a lot.

Very easy class. I took it as an 8 week DL class. Tests are multiple choice, alot of the questions are common sense and if you read the chapters it's an easy A. You can use the book during quizzes. For the case studies you read a short paragraph and answer 5 questions. I never had to communicate with the professor so I'm not sure what he is like.

Very easy class. The only thing is when you do your case studies it's kind of difficult to know sometimes exactly what he is looking for. You have a total of 5 questions each worth 5 points. In order to get 20 points for each study, then be very specific when answering questions. And give examples. His test are easy and the quizzes are open book.

So, I would have given him a good rate IF his quizzes weren't the things that kept me from getting an A in that class. His quizzes are SO word-for-word that if you miss a single detail, you immediately lose the point, and it doesn't help that there are only 30 pts. I'm an A student, going to get a B in that class now...and for a speech class.

Prof is extremely helpful, gives feedback & quick reply. A LOT of assignments for 8 weeks: 13 quizzes, short film essays, reflection assignments, 1 group discussion, four final analysis and few other things. Mostly is your opinion and good perspective. Lots of writing. Literally read every page in textbook, which was helpful and easy to read.

This class was very average and I would take it again if I had to. Prof. was uninvolved since it was asynchronous and had weird grading criteria. Very simple class with quizzes/homework every day. Get ready to read and watch crap tv

I took a shorter semester for this course and it was a lot of work but Professor Stringer is very helpful and responsive whenever you need help. It was also fun because you can discuss topics you're interested in. The textbook was also provided online.

Stringer was a great professor, very organized, caring, and easy to reach via email, and willing to meet if needed. The course was structured well, very easy pace, and all assignments were straightforward with guidelines, outlines, and rubrics provided. I learned and honed my speaking skills without too much stress. Highly recommend!

Super nice and supportive. There is a lot work but it's easy to keep up with once you get the hang of it. My only complaint is that there is little to no instructions you have to figure out a good part of it by yourself. Its an easy class and will definitely get you out of your comfort zone.

I struggle with public speaking which is why I took this class. Professor Stringer was easygoing and kept the class relaxed which helped me whenever I had to talk in front of the class. Just make sure to practice your speech before you do it and you'll be fine.

Take this class!! I actually enjoyed researching and preparing for the speeches. This prof wants you to succeed and will give you feedback on your outline before submitting it! There are tests along with speeches but both are very manageable. Do the work and get an A!! If I had to retake this course I would for sure take prof stringer.

Posted course material in the first week, no late work, tough greater but if you try he will notice and give you points. Graded by reflection assignments(3), interpreting film clips(7), test(3), and 2 video assignments, the final is a longer version of film clips. Response to emails quickly can tell he enjoys what he does and wants us to learn.

Professor Stringer is a great professor. He is very nice, understanding, and not a difficult grader but making eye contact is important in speeches. My class had 5 graded speeches and 3 reflections. His activities and fun and overall, I enjoyed his class a lot. I recommend his class to anyone.

I took the online 8-week.1-2 quizzes each week. 6 film clips total with 3-5 questions in relation to textbook. 2 skills assessments of your interpersonal communication skills, then one last speech for 6-8 mins long on whatever you want during the last week of class. As long as you try, he will give you a good grade. Overall, good class!

Would 10/10 take this Professor again! This was online and we were able to watch and study scenes from different films and answer questions. Super chill professor. I accidently turned in an assignment late once and I still got a 100 on it! Absolutely loved this professor!

SPCH1315 was more about speaking exposure than step-by-step 'how to', so if you're looking for a class that'll teach you how to put together a good presentation, this isn't it. There are 4 speeches/presentations throughout the course, in-person, in front of the class: intro, informative, group, & commemorative. Stringer was great, no complaints.
