He is an all-around great teacher to take for speech. He explains things very well and his exams along with the grading of the speeches are not hard at all. Great Teacher!!!!
Nash is awsome and very cool. I think that he is a great teacher and very helpfull, and however said he is not hot they are wrong. he is so f****ing sexy it hurts. laterz peace out.
I had him fall02 he was the new teacher at the time, his speech class was very informative to me because I don't like public speaking and his class helped me to be comfortable when I speak in public. thanks nash!
This is one of the finest teachers moraine has to offer! I highly recomend him!
The best teacher I have ever had at Moraine. He knows how to reach every student. Wonderful teaching skills and you really understand speech when the class is over
loves to talk with students, discusses current events, tests are multiple choice/fill in, kinda tricky but easy if you study your notes. he grades speeches pretty easy, overall good teacher but probably not the easiest. i think he's a bit effeminate, but extremely nice.
Great teacher! Not a bad grader on the speeches and the midterm along with the final were a piece of cake! If you are nervous about speaking in front of class, he is the teacher to take because he makes you feel very comfortable.
Very nice and helpful. He made it really easy to talk in front of the class. If you are worried at all about public speaking, take nash. He is very funny also.
People!That's my third college in five years of studies,so in 7 years of studying, I've hardly met more amazing teacher than Nash.He will reach everyone,he'll be funny as hell,he'll be as your friend.Even if you hate speaking in public, that's gonna be fun. That class was amazing!I love him!
Is an amazing teacher that knows what he's talking about when it comes to giving speeches. He is very nice and loves talking about current events and CNN so make sure you watch the headlines before class to earn participation points. Don't slack and you'll get an A. Studying for finals is a must.
Nash is such a great teacher. Not only does he switch class up so it is not the same thing everytime, but he is an awsome teacher. If you have a problem or have missed classes, just talk to him. He is extrememly understanding. He will work with you whenever you need help.
Awesome teacher. Very helpful and understanding. If you turn in everything on time you'll pass w/o a problem. He makes the class pretty fun & is pretty easy on grading speeches. Can't go wrong w/ this class!
Awesome!!!!!!1
If you're deathly afraid of speaking in public..take Nash. He's very supportive and helpful. He makes class fun (usually!) And you've got tons of room for creativity. I'd say he's an easy A or B if you show up & complete all work.
He's a really nice and helpful guy. I'd take a class with him again
I was very afraid to take speech class. But I took it in the summer so I can get it out of the way.. and besides, it's much more faster. When I entered his class I was intimidated, but as class went on, he turned out to be a fun teacher. He is great, and makes learning fun.
I took this class in the 3 week summer session and Nash was awesome! He is a great teacher and explains well. He grades very fairly and is a very nice guy! I would definitely take another class with him! Oh, and he's REALLY hot!
he is totally hot, hard to concentrate in class he is to good looking.
Take Nash for COM 103, you won't be disappointed. He makes speech class fun. He's a stickler for rules but very easygoing and you'll enjoy him. He loves current events and discusses them every class period. I had him for the 8 week summer session.
This guy is pretty cool, I gotta admit. He is very helpful and a great speaker himself. What I like most is that he is not afraid to tell students the negatives right in front of others. By pointing out their flaws, he's helping them right away.
Nash is a great teacher. He's really tolerant of people making mistakes, and he doesn't just lecture to us. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who had to take the class
Nash is a VERY good teacher. I was terrified about taking this class, but he is very helpful and very clear. He points out flaws, but it's a good thing, because he's only trying to help. He has made it easier for me to speak in front of the class and I would definitely recommend taking his class.
he's so nice! he made it easier for me to speak in front of the class. he's by far one of the best teachers i had at moraine. and he looks really good for his age hehe
Very intelligent, very professional. All the material he puts out is extremely helpful and so is he. Great class to take if it's a requirement. There are no TESTS, in case you're wondering, only the mid-term and final. If at all possible, I would recommend NOT missing any of his classes, very strict on attendace.
Nash is SO HOT! It was so hard paying attention to him, I'd just stare at him. At least I know everyone else thinks he's hot, too. He's by far the best teacher I've had at Moraine- without this class I'd never have been comfortable speaking in front of other people. I've learned so much from him. Thanks, Nash! You rock!!
nice guy, helps u a lot in talking. BUT U HAVE 2 HAND BACK THE ASSIGNMENTS BACK IN TIME otherwise NOOOO CREDIT. don't be shy u have 2 talk in front of the class for your credit.havefun
Nash is an amazing teacher! he is so nice and is very into helping anyone. I was scared at first to go speak in front of the class but I now love giving speeches and being in front of people!! I would really suggest taking this class with Nash.
I just love this guy! Super nice, super helpful, super supportive. I wish he taught other course cause I would definately take him again. He does so much to help his student success. It is hard enough to get up and speak in front of everyone and he helps to ease the nervousness. HIGHLY recommend Nash - He's the best!!!!!
Mr. Nash does his best at teaching. He is very opinionated, though. I learned alot from him,but was uncomfortable with his feminine style expressions because he is a man.
Nash was one of the best teachers I have ever had. I never had a class that i enjoyed going to. If you do the work in the class, you will get an A. Just make sure you turn it in on time else no credit.
Nash is great and hes cute too!! Hes great at teaching!
the best teacher ever. he's pretty easy on you until the persuasive speech which he's a little harder on. but overall he's awesome. he makes class fun with group activities and he plays a lot of movies. besides that he's hilarious and pretty hot too
Great teacher. He is super helpful and as long as you show up and do your work it is an easy A. He makes learning fun and even taught us ways to remember teh harder stuff. Take this class!
nash was awesome. i hate public speaking and he made it really easy and comfortable for me to speak in front of class. not to mention hes not so bad to look at for an hour and a half! :) take nash!
took his 8 week, com 103 class. fairly easy. just need to keep up with assignments and speeches. pretty critical on speeches, but overall good teacher. very helpful too.
Nash is a great teacher. Public speaking can be VERY scary and he helps you feel more comfortable. The class is well taught and interesting. He also is always willing to help students if they need it. Great teacher.
Great teacher, I reccommend him to every com 103 student. He's very clear and FAIR. He's also really laid back which is comforting when you're nervous about making public speeches. He also gives you fun topics to work with.
Nash is a wonderful teacher. He understands nobody enjoys public speaking; he makes his class into a comfortable environment. If you complete the assignments and put forth some effort you'll do fine. I highly recommend taking him.
Nash is a wonderful teacher! He is always there to help you, and makes assignments fun...Def. wasn't excited to take the class, but with all said and done...I LOVED the class...Great enviroment! Highly Recomended!
take him! hes a great prof. never used the book... very helpful.... he explains everything clearly..very organized and gives helpful suggestions to improve your speech
Nash is great! I took him over the summer in his 8wk class. If you want to learn "The Art to Public Speaking" he is the right person. He is very easy, but he is consistent with attendance. Hurry his seats feel up fast!!!
Nash was such an amazing instructor. He really made this class fun but also was able to teach us a ton. I took his class for a 5 Saturday session. It was incredible on how much the class learned from Mr. Nash and how enjoyable it was. I was not excited to take this class but he made it so comfortable for everyone!
I am grateful that I had no other choice but take this online class with Nash. Yes, he does stick to the rules and the class is fun. But I have never seen a teacher publicly criticize with no brutality. If you have stage fright or want to enjoy COM 103 take Nash.But beware of slacking off because this class is so valuable that you will regret it.
Best teacher I've EVER had. He makes you work and learn for your grade, but he's VERY accessible, explains fully, and extremely entertaining and knowledgeable. I'm so glad I had him instead of anyone else. He's the teach of the decade in my book.
Nash was awesome! i was extremely scared of public speaking going into this class but he spends the first month or so getting everybody acquanted with eachother n b4 u kno it every1 is friends and speaking becomes fun. The midterm and final were nothing to stress about and he makes class very fun to sit through.
Nash was a totally awesome teacher! this was my second attempt of taking speech after hopelessly failing my first time. hes really funny, comfortable to be around, and just all around a nice guy. i was actually excited to come to speech days and see everyone in my class. and guess what? i even got a boyfriend out of the deal. take him! <3
Love Nash! He was the nicest teacher I've ever had. Extremely helpful and cool. He is really funny too.
Goes by "Nash". Excellent professor..Helpful, inclusive, forthright, interesting and up on current events. Nash is committed to remembering you as a student, actively participates in the learning. Excellent, Excellent!
loved nash. hes hilarious in a very subtle way. he explains all the tasks and speeches so thoroughly and helps you out in soo many ways with anything. overall hes an awesome guy and an excellent teacher
a really goood teacher...gives very clear examples, very understanding and nice...very decent grader, no way you'll fail a speech. easy A... just do the online quizes and follow the guidelines for each speech.... very funny also, i enjoyed attanding his class, i strongly recommend him!
Nash exemplifies what a great teacher should be - encouraging, informative, understanding, creative, fun, relatable, and just an all around person, as well as great educator. Best teacher at MVCC. I hope they realize what a treasure he truly is.
I did not enjoy this class because it was a speech class, but nash did make me feel more comfertable. He knew how to get the most out of his students. Perfect teacher for a speech class.
One of the best teachers out there!
Great teacher ^_^
He knows what he's doing, considering he's the speech team coach. You don't have many speeches to do, and there are a lot of online quizzes and notes to take. He tries to make everyone comfortable and makes it clear what he wants. Also pretty flexible with absences, even on speech days
Nash was a good teacher, but he has his specific requirements. In his online class, I felt like he was too strict on quiz due dates. If your not a procrastinator, you may not want to take the online course. He seems gay, but thats oky, he's too picky for my liking, needs more flexibility.But he does know his stuff.
SUCH a good teacher. He told you exactly what he wanted and was really helpful. Tests/Quizzes were easy if you paid the slightest bit of attention. I hate speeches and he made me feel more at ease. VERY RECOMMENDED.
Nash is a great teacher! he let's you know exactly what to do on a speech to get an A his class activities are always fun and he makes class enjoyable and seems genuinely interested in his students and making sure that everyone passes
Great guy! made class go by quickly. I thought really funny. Speeches were really fun
Class is awesomely fun. Standards are clearly defined. I probably would have aced it if I didn't hate Blackboard so much. We had a few quizzes we were supposed to take on Blackboard... good part of the grade that I missed, intentionally. I hate blackboard. However, Nash was truly awesome. What you're graded on is VERY clear. There was no guess work
Great teacher, great person, great experience. One of the best at Moraine.
i had NO interest in speech before taking this course, but nash makes it all the more enjoyable. hes upbeat, very clear, organized, and tries to make you feel comfortable with the rest of the class before you give your speeches. offers extra credit. but didnt like the online quizzes, & lots of additional worksheets/assignments..
the best professor that i have ever hard. Extremely nice and helpful. Really considerate and he cares about his students. I wish he would teach other classes! Take him, otherwise you will regret!!!
Awesome teacher. Super nice and understanding, but he's not a push over; he's just fair.
Excellent teacher, wonderful in class presentation, very clear. Would absolutely suggest anyone take him, he is the head of the speech team at Moraine, and they are great as well. He has excellent class planning, never are you left confused as to what he expects, always prepared and helpful. Plus his extensive use of blackboard is great
Give this man 1 million red hot peppers! He is one of the BEST instructors this school has to offer. It is an easy class if you DO YOUR WORK as assigned. He doesn't mess around with slackers or "dog ate my homework" but if you take his class serious, you will do great! I avoided taking this class for a decade but with NASH you are good to go!
Awesome teacher very easy to understand and to listen to. Extremely knowledgeable in the subject he is teaching.
Excellent teacher, very knowledgeable in the subject he is teaching. He is easy to listen to and understand. I would highly recommend this teacher for any student.
Excellent,super nice and understanding teacher. I highly recommend to everyone. I wish to be his student in my rest of my life. I finished his class last December 2011.
Excellent,super nice and understanding teacher. I highly recommend to everyone. I finished his class on December 2011.
Excellent,super nice and understanding teacher. I highly recommend to everyone. I wish to be his student in my rest of my life.
Awesome teacher,I highly recommend to everyone. You will love him. If you do his works, you will get an "A".
Not much to say about Nash, he is just a really nice guy, and a really good teacher. you should take him you'll have a good time
Nash is my favorite teacher, and he is awesome. I got an "A" in his class.
took his 3 week course and wouldnt recommend him..micro-grades everything you hand in and speeches are 10 minutes long..and the final is 100 questions worth 200 points..but you do learn to feel comfortable doing speeches..thats about it
took his summer class. pretty easy. got an A. highly recommend him as a teacher
I took his 8 week summer course and it was very easy. Just make sure you prepare for your speeches and do all the little assignments and you should get full points. Sometimes he is really strict about certain things and can be moody.
I took his 8 week summer class and this guy is the greatest! He's extremely nice and makes you feel comfortable about giving speeches. Do all the assignments and follow his speech guidelines and this class will be a breeze. I didn't find him to be strict or moody. If anything he should be more strict when people aren't prepared.
Im in his summer class now. Honestly, what a nice guy!! Very helpful, funny, and smart. You will not go wrong with Nash. You will do well in his class if you follow his GUIDELINES and show up for class. Thanks Nash!!
really nice teacher. you will not fall asleep because he keeps you entertained. easy speeches and he makes you not be nervous. i would definitely take him again. dont buy the book. dont uses it at all unless you want to review for final. just go rent it for free in the library.
Best teacher at Moraine!! So entertaining! Great guy! He makes you feel so comfortable during speeches. Highly recommend.
Great guy, greatest professor!! Super cool, understanding, professional, very knowledgeable. Makes all his students feel very comfortable and educated about giving speeches. Loved attending his class!
Really nice and funny professor. He gave us a lot of extra credit, and made us comfortable during our speeches.Loved the class!
Mr. Nash was an AWESOME teacher! He explained everything clearly, so he created no confusion. Just do what he asks in the grade sheets and you will be golden! He was more than willing to help anyone who struggled the slightest and was one of the most entertaining teachers I've ever had. I highly recommend him!
Being in Nash's class actually made me look forward to the speech days. You cannot go wrong with him! In high school, I was a horrible public speaker but now I feel way more confident because of this class. It really helps! Take him! he understands that we don't like public speaking! He also makes your class a family rather than strangers<3
an excellent, organized and serious professor. You will work for every point you receive. coming to college for the first time as a non-traditional middle aged woman, I thought I'd get a little leeway, NO WAY, I thank him for that. I proved to myself with hard work I could do this. Nash has taught me so much more than what I learned in class.
Nash is professional, tough, no nonsense kind of guy. I learned more about myself being in his class than I did taking the course. I got a B but worked extremely hard for it. Im a non traditional middle aged student. He taught me to believe in myself and I am so grateful to him. Expect to work hard and you will do great.
took him for speech and he is awesome! makes you feel confident in front of the class and teachers you a lot. Quizzes are super easy and you take them until you get 100%. Follow the exact format when writing your speech and you get 100% on everyone. Great teacher and super funny.
Speaking in front of others isn't easy for me but Nash gives tips to make it easier. Fair grader and wants to help you succeed. Online quizzes you take until you get a 100. Interesting class. Nice teacher.
This was a pretty easy class. We just had 3 speeches that we recorded and submitted and assignments every week to prepare for the speeches. He was always accessible by email if I had any questions.
Took his online class. Each week there was a quiz and an assignment (outline, submit research, etc) and 3 speeches. Posted work 2 weeks before it was due. Very attentive to the class. He even reached out to me when I had accidentally missed an assignment and still gave me full credit. Responds quickly to emails. Would definitely recommend!!
he has this thing where he makes you become friends w the rest of the class, like being in groups and such. if you're not comfortable w awkward conversations, then you should turn away right now. whenever i asked a question to confirm my understanding, he'd make me feel stupid for even asking. overall, He's a nice guy but is a really tough grader
Very organized. He is kind of a tough grader but he tells you exactly what he wants! Gives you an outline, gives you examples and goes over it. Has lots of extra credit opportunities. He is nice guy but is there to teach and makes sure you are learning. Not a fan off the group activities.
Tough grader, a little to serious at times. Makes you feel kind of dumb for asking questions. He does however however give lots of extra credit opportunities but they are all after class and cost $. I think there should be more extra credit where everyone is able to participate.
Overall hes an OKAY teacher. The only thing is that he makes everyone get to know each other so if youre uncomfortable with that you wouldnt like this class. He has an online quiz once a week. He gets a bit serious sometimes and puts you on blast and makes you feel dumb when you ask a question. He offers extra credit after class WHICH REALLY HELPS!
Easy A. I came in blind with never taking a speech class and got worried when the first assignment was given for a class introduction when I did poorly on it. I really enjoyed his class and even know when someone is speaking I will point out some of the topics learned in the class. Get the E Book as buying it at the book store is a waste...
One of the coolest teachers at moraine! He is the man! He is the speech coach, so he is the perfect person to take. If you fear public speaking, he makes you feel more comfortable when giving speeches in class. He also gives you a rubric and if you follow it exactly, you should receive a good grade. Also online quizzes, but u get to use ur textbook
great
super easy class even tho speech class can be daunting. pay attention, and pick interesting topics you like so the speech part will come naturally. hes a great teacher and is very very kind and will help with anything you need. he gave out quizzes in class and online thru black board but were super easy as long as you used the book.
Best Professor ever!
HIGHLY recommend him. If you don't like speeches then he is the one to take. Class was always interesting, b/c hes good at what he does. You will definitely leave this class being a better speaker. The best was that he allowed for half the class to stay home for a few speeches which takes off a lot of pressure. He is very approachable
Unless you want to drown in assignments, do not take this course online. There's probably 4-6 assignments a week. There are speeches where you will have to find 5 people for an audience and video tape all of this. This class isn't staggeringly hard, but there's a lot to it. Not finished with the course yet, but god do I regret taking it online.
Best professor I've had for many years! Speech could be scary, but he makes everyone feel good even when you mess up. Hes a funny guy and you really do learn how to make better speeches at the end. He makes the lectures genuinely interesting and hilarious. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!
In terms of teaching, he was very knowledgeable on his subject. He was funny at times also. He does, however, use his classroom to push his ideology which was very annoying. Hopefully after this year he will dial it back a little. If you don't agree with his opinions you feel very alienated.
Great teacher with a subject most people don't like. Is very calming and prepares you to speak. Only 3 speeches throughout the year and you get to use notecards for all. Definitely the best speech teacher at Moraine.
Took his 3wk Summer course. Public speaking is very scary but he makes you feel so comfortable to speak in front of the class. 3 major speeches (5-7 mins long each) and 2 little ones. Access code is required for online quizzes (super easy). He will try to work along with his students if theyre struggling. Clear rubric grading crit. Take him :)
Worse teacher i've ever taken in my life. Never take this professor. The toughest grader you will ever have. Takes points off for every little thing. Not easy at all. Took it online and I would never ever take him again or recommend him to anyone.
Honestly a really awful teacher, I will never take him again. The toughest grader ever and made me feel very uneducated for every question I asked.
Mr. Nash is the MAN!!!!!!!! He will give you the best feed back to help you with your assignments. I'm going to miss this guy.
I took COM103 with Prof Nash for Fall 2017 semester online. I didn't know he was one of the coaches for the Speech & Debate team. He was a tough grader on the outlines & the speeches. But, if you put in effort & do the work, you should be fine. The final was easy. He gave lots of extra credit for showing up to the Speech team's showcases.
Best teacher I have ever had at Moraine, I will miss him so much. highly recommend taking it
By far one of my favorite teachers, if you do what he asks and he sees you trying, he will do his best to help you achieve the grade you want. There's a lot of easy points in the class and some good extra credit. Speeches are easy, he let's you look at them ahead of time.
awesome
Strict guidelines for speeches, and lots of homework.
He is fine . I like how he explains. He made the materials so easy to understand, but he is very tough grader .
He is very passionate about his field of study however he is rude if you don't follow his criteria and does not really give second chance opportunities. Let's just say get ready to work! But you will have a clear understanding of public speaking
Unhappy with class.
Tough grader .. he doesnt accept ANY late work. So make sure you turn in everything on time.
VERY TOUGH GRADER. A lot of work to do, it takes hours to do the quiz. I wouldn't recommend. Thanks god we can choose the professor. I would never take him again. I passed the class but it was too much. Very hard.
John Nash was an amazing professor. I was very nervous about taking a speech class as I hate talking in front of people, but this ended up being one of my favorite classes. You will do well if you follow the criteria for the speeches and prepare for them. I absolutely loved Professor Nash and I suggest you take him.
Professor Nash really goes out of his way to prepare his students. This is a public speaking class so as long you prepare for your speeches you will do well. Classes were always entertaining and engaging. He offers plenty of extra credit at the end of the semester. He is a tough grader but as long as you follow the rubric youll do fine!
You really need to work hard because he really is a tough grader. His online class was great because he was very well structured which made the class clear. He will reach out to you if you exceed in your class. I did very well and he always let me know it. As long as you actually make an effort you should pass with an A
One of my favorites teachers. He is a tough grader but as long as you prepare for your speeches you will be fine. He also offers extra credit
Responded very quickly to my emails. Understood that I had outside responsibilities like a full time job and family needs and was willing to help me move along in class so I could pass with a C.
His instructions are great, follow them and you'll get a good grade. He literally makes it easy for you if you just do the work and pay attention. I was terrified of this class and he made it seem easy for me, which I really appreciated. He's the best teacher I've had at Moraine and I wish he taught another class I needed to take! Thanks, Nash!
Very hard grader tried so hard in this class and still will barely be passing. Such a shame cause I pay so much just to take this class to graduate and I have to retake it again with another teacher.
Nash is the kindest professor I've encountered at MV. He helps you both inside and outside of the classroom and genuinely cares about the success of each student. He holds you to the standard of a college student and if you can't act like one don't take him.
PLEASE TAKE HIM! hes honestly a good prof. I personally believe he isnt a tough grader. I was ok on speeches. he cares more about the information rather than how you give the speech. I froze one time during a speech and I still got an A. barely any homework, one test and thats the final. online quizzes and theyre participation points!!
The class was amazing, and he is one of the best teachers at Moraine. Though this class was only for college 101 i will be taking COM 103 with him. He is a very caring and funny teacher. I always looked forward to this class, it was always the highlight of my day. The best teacher HANDS DOWN!
He is very passionate about his field of study, and very well-spoken. He provides guidelines for each type of speech. He hands out an example speech outline to help you out when writing your speech. In his class, there will be a decent amount of homework and also, he is a very tough grader when it comes to grading your speeches.
The little things really add up and it ruins the class. I dont recommend there are way better quality teachers.
Great professor for college 101, few quizzes based off the book which you can use the book for. Easy A class.
Don't know about other classes but for all incoming students take this professor for College 101. He gives you the textbook for free online and is super nice and an easy A. There's a decent bit of work but nothing too much and it all takes less than an hour every week. Take him 10/10 recommend him.
This was one of the easiest classes I've ever taken. It was all online so basically you just do everything that's on the calendar. Make sure to turn in discussions on time because you won't get full credit. Also gives you a free textbook online which comes in handy with homework. I would definitely recommend taking this course with Professor Nash.
He is great!
This was the best and most organized online class I have taken. So easy to follow. You just need to do the work. He answers emails super fast. Grades things almost the same day they are turned. Really cares about teaching and his students. I would recommend!
Professor Nash is a good professor in explaining things and loves teaching you can definitely see it. Only thing I did not like about his class was his grading, he was a really harsh grader, his little points he would take off would add up. He never really allowed revising but he would explain your mistakes thoroughly, but he really grades hard.
Mr. Nash online speech is hands down the best class I've taken ever. He offered 55 extra credit points across the whole semester, (very easy) was flexible with outside contact and speech grading, and his quizzes were graded by completion rather than accuracy. 100% recommend his online speech course to everyone. I passed with a 97.
Nash clearly cared about the material he taught, and was very considerate of the class every step of the way. He was a tough grader, but taking his critique and using it to get better in the next speech definitely helped raise my grade. He was very specific in his feedback for each individual. Highly recommend--but be prepared to put the work in!
Sweetest professor hands down. Cares about every student, lets you make up work if your missed class, and is ALWAYS available when you have questions. Gotta put the work in, of course, but assignments are super clear/easy. He likes to do group activities and is a bit nit-picky with grading but it's only for you to get better. 10/10 professor, Do it
Pretty easy class, his online quizzes were pretty straightforward and you have two attempts, the higher grade is kept. No speech needed to be presented in front of anyone. We only had about 4-5 speeches that had to be a minimum of 5 minutes (easier than u think). Extra credit is easy, practically free points. Really nice professor, def take him!
Professor Nash is awesome. I took his class online and everything was easy and straight forward, as long as you do the assignments on time you'll be fine. He's a quick grader and replies to emails within 24 hours if you're reaching out for help. I highly recommend take this professor for Com 103 classes. Easy A class.
I would recommend taking this professor for COM-103. Great teacher and very helpful and understanding. As long as you do the work, you'll do good. Not much homework and he has a good grading system and is very reasonable.
Not sure if every teacher follows the Illinois guidelines, but he was so strict with them and a very hard grader. Took it online and he was strict about late work and anything to do with stupid rules. DO NOT TAKE HIM.
I think Nash is great, seems like a chill person even though I took this class online but I advise you to NOT take this class online. It's horrible. COM 103 really should be taken in person. I couldn't do that cuz they were full. The whole "you need 6 people in order to record your speech" stressed me out SO much. PLEASE take this class in person.
Nash was THE BEST, he is so welcoming and made class such a safe, happy, and welcoming environment. He has the best heart and truly has the best intentions for his students. There was homework each week but not much and super easy,4 easy easy speeches! He made me more confident as a speaker, and his class was my favorite this semester! TAKE HIM!!
I really enjoyed Nash's class this past semester. He is a very personable professor, and understanding when situations arise. If you do the work on time and plan your speeches around the expectations, you'll do well in the class. He's one of those professors that make you want to come to class, you won't regret it!
Professor Nash's online classes rules and regulations are unreasonable to say the least. You need six audience members for speeches which makes no sense for an online class, one or two would make sense due to the nature of the class but it is needed for almost every speech. It seems no other coms class grade as hard as him. DO NOT TAKE ONLINE!!!
very organized. gives great feedback. only downside is having lots of hw/assignments that will total up to an avg of 3-4 hrs a week outside of class
One of the most rudest and most unprofessional teachers I've ever had!
Mr. Nash was something for 9am class. He was a great guy though. You only get 8 skips so use them wisely if your like me. Overall really nice guy, helpful, and open. Lot of online homework through McGraw, but its participation based, so just finish it and get 100%. Also be ready for your speeches... Lots of Criterion, but understanding.
He was good for speech. I did well on some speeches and terribly on others. The more effort you put into the speeches the beter your grade will be.
Good teacher and is very organized with assignments and lessons on canvas which makes it easy for an online course. You have all week till Friday to do assignments and can even work in advance. Speeches were very clear and understandable on what were the requirements. I would def recommend this class.
TAKE HIS 3 WEEK IN PERSON SUMMER COURSE! I took Professor Nash and do not regret anything. Yes, its fast paced but Nash gives you almost everything you need to complete at the beginning. He's very caring and is more than happy to help! His grading criteria is very clear and he's responds quickly outside class. I would recommend him to everyone!
Very strict on rules! Such a hard grader, this professor has little to no sympathy. I took this online as well. I wish I had asked around and picked a different instructor!
He was fine, but, we have a list of topics we are not allowed to discuss during our persuasive speech such as ab*rtion or climate change but he allowed students to go up and spew tr*nsphobic hate for 6+ minutes. I don't think that is fair. He also is very condescending, and talks to you like you are a 2nd grader and not a college sophomore.
Nash is a good professor. He teaches well, and his class is straight forward. He has three speeches a semester, alongside homework across the semester. The homework itself is very straight forward. Speeches have clear rules and guidelines. As long as you follow the speech rules, and do the homework, you'll be fine. There is a final as well.
do NOT take his online class. he is incredibly hard to work with when it comes to assignments, specifically speeches. had insanely strict recording guidelines for online students including dress code, but my friends did their irl class speeches wearing sweats & cropped tees w no consequences. also admitted to being harder on his online students.
SUPER HARD TO WORK WITH! he isn't approachable. very heavy on rules when it comes to speeches. have never met someone this hard to work with.
Professor Nash has been my favorite instructor at Moraine Valley so far!! He genuinely cares & wants you to succeed. His rules & policies can seem strict to some, but they're there for a reason. He makes everything very easy to understand & follow. As long as you follow the rules, ask for help when you need it, & put in the effort, you'll do great.
He was a trash teacher who deducted points for not memorizing every word written.
Professor Nash runs a structured class with clear rules. While his approach may seem strict, it actually helps you succeed if you engage with the course material. unstuck AI and the free textbook were lifesavers for me.
Mr. Nash is a good teacher. Speeches aren't really my thing but with the effort I put in, they paid off. He's a great person with a big heart who cares about his students and just wants them to pass. He has good lectures, and the in-class assignments are easy. I recommend him for anyone who wants to take COM-103.
Refuses to help, took him during winter break and would just send you help numbers instead of trying to help you find a solution and when you tell him you already called those numbers he gives up and tells you its a you problem. Class was easy and I did good. He just isn't a good teacher.
Nice person, horrible teacher. Extremely tough at grading, and not in the way where he wants to help, in the way where he wants you to fail. Listen to me and don't waste your time with this prof., save yourself and your time.
Professor Nash is one strict individual. If you aren't on top of your game. DON'T TAKE THE CLASS. The course work was not to easy nor difficult. The class consist of 4 speeches, with one of them having to be in front of an audience of 6 or more to receive full credit. Overall, great class if you can keep up with the course work.
THE BEST PROFFESOR, his homework's were very easy, his instructions were easy, follow his rubric and make sure you did everything in the rubric before submitting, and your going to get full credit. He also gave a lot of extensions and chances to students that were struggling to find people for their video!
Any speech class will be hard, but Nash makes it amazing!
