This professor can be tough but if you come to class, seem interested, and participate he will be helpful. If you do you end of semester project EASY A but you also need to do many many speeches in front of the class... Not so bad he can be funny at times..

He does not make you feel inferior to him.HE IS A PERFECTIONIST but it helps you get things done right.He doesn't think he's the only one who knows right from wrong.The speeches help you. A lot of work.He is ridiculously piky with papers (3 pg ea. gordon rule & two 6-8 min speech outline) I learned a lot.Just take it alone or with an easy class.

He gives a lot of work and most of the work is towards the end of the course.

even though he is cool & a funny guy he makes this class very difficult, not in tests (never had any) but in the amount of projects and stuff, either way he was good because he is preparing you for the real world & to university level type stuff, if you like speaking in front of people and dont mind doing a lot of projects than pick him

well, he is a difficult grader. i am an "A" student but i got a "B" in his class. he's relentless and you always have to dress up on speech days.

Santelises makes Speech harder than it should be. Most people take Speech as an elective, he makes it seem like your taking nuclear physics at Harvard. He gives to many projects, is strict in the grading, He does explain himself clearly, but then contradicts himself in his grading formula. Dont know anyone who got an "A" in that class.

He is very clear about everything and tells you how you should go dressed the day of your speech. you must reading the text because he gives pop quizes.. i did every the way he explained and i got an A and know others who got an A too.. you just have to work hard in this class.. i was also taking mac and enc during this term

Prof santelisses was not that bad. I took him in the summer for 6 weeks and passed with a B. Do all the work and you will be fine. Yes! he is very demanding and gives alot of work but he you will gain something out of his assignments. He is very organized. Great piece of advice take him in the summer and get it over with.

ATTENTION EVERYONE: He is one of the most incredible professors I have every met! He is a sweet heart, and a person who is knowledgable about his subject. However, he is quite challenging. You have to listen to him and following his exact directions or you will be lost and not get a good grade. He is gorgeous and super sexy!I love you professor!;)

Great professor!! His assingments may be a little hard and you should always start working on it early, don't wait until the last minute. He is very nice and wants you to learn and participate. His lectures are always interesting and will help you in your daily lives. It is a speech class so please be ready to "speak" and "listen" in class!

Very nice,funny and sweet. Yes,he is demanding, but for a good reason.He makes the class interesting and fun.You just have to follow his rules and do the work. He is not the monster people say he is.

Excellent professor! He is demanding because he cares about his students. He is funny,and makes the class interesting.You learn a lot in his class. If you want to become a better person take him.

this is honestly all dressing up and speaking. i think he means well. i got a C my only grade lower than an A. that was the hardest earned C of my life! i worked so hard! if u do take him.. do NOT give up!! there would be nothing worse than to take it AGAIN!

He was funny teacher. Yeah, he teaching method is rather unusual, he is a great teacher. READ HIS COURSE PACKET AND SYLLABUS AND YOU WILL BE FINE!!!!! oh and DO NOT PROCRASTINATE. try ur hardest and he WILL notice.

The prof. himself is great! He's hilarious and knows alot about speech as you can tell by the way he speaks. The problem here is that his grading system is ridiculous, i feel like im at Harvard instead of MDC. He's too strict and although he wants us to succeed..no matter how hard you try, it doesnt matter..odds are you will get a bad grade

He is a good professor, just takes some getting used too. He is very sarcastic, but funny. Some students just do not understand his style. I liked his class. I learned a lot.

This class is not hard if you can follow directions and are responsible. He is very funny.O and by the way the Gordon Rule papers determine whether you will pass the class or not, do not take them lightly. He grades the gordon rule papers harshly, so make sure to write great papers!

CRAZY ABOUT HIS SYLLABUS AND IF YOU DON'T READ YOU WILL FAIL. EXPECT TO DO TON OF WORK.EXTREMELY FUNNY GUY

Best teacher I ever had. All the dumbasses hated him.

I took this professor not to long ago, & in my opinion, this is the best professor to take if you want to master speaking in class, public, or any place of that matter. He works with every student diligently & cares a lot about his students. The key to his class is listen to his advice & follow it, apply it in class as if it is real life. I got an

This class was excellent and the professor was great. the only thing i can say about the professor is he is very serious when it comes down to appearance ( which is pretty weird ) and linguistic fillers. other than that if yu apply yourself you will pass this class. I dont know what is wrong with students at miami dade, they expect every class to b

The professor's assignments are not at all difficult, but his grading style is hard to comprehend. When you think you're doing well you're probably not. He is helpful only during his office hours, just make the time to go see him for him. If I had to take the class again, would I..sure. He also make the class interesting and doesn't just lectures.

Really awesome professor. I received a B. Just be sure to read your syllabus and make time to see him during office hours to keep track of your progress. He is also a funny professor. The assignments aren't hard at all just follow his instructions.

This professor is awesome, funny, and serious about teaching. He gives alot of HW and projects so if you are a part time student just take him and 1 other class. He works hard to make sure you learn. If you are looking for an easy A, don't take him. This class is for ppl who're serious about their education and are willing to work for it and learn.

It took a little while to get accustomed to him, but he is an excellent professor. His grading scheme tho is a little difficult to decipher. He pays attention to the most minute details and will deduct marks, but he is accessible during office hrs and is easy to talk to. READ THE MATERIAL GIVEN CAREFULLY and often!

Very nice professor however you will never get an A in his class but if you are really good and listen to him you are sure to get a B, go to see him at office hrs he likes that he sees that you take charge of your education. please keep all your test sheets he will need them all to give you your final grade if not you may get a less grade.

Very nice professor but you really need to listen to him to achieve success. Its not about the grade for me, it was helping myself to overcome the fear of speaking in front of people. Speech is one class like math everyone tries to avoid. If you make the affect in class, do the work, and speak with him during office hours. No work, no rewards.

He tells you exactly what you need to do in order to get an A in this class from the very 1st day. He is an excellent professor and you will learn A LOT. An A is attainable; however, you MUST follow directions. He is preparing you! Do not expect a grade you did not earn. People complain about him because they are not willing to work for their A.

Santileses is a great professor. Witty, comical and passionate about teaching and really cares that you suceeed. He will emphasize everything that you need to know in the course and prepare you for the future. His assignments do require a lot of forethought and work and you get what you earn. Follow his advice, and do the work and you will pass.

He is passionate about his job, he knows what he is talking about and will make you work for your grade. Expect few speech assignments along with one group speech project and if you have any questions ask. However, everything you learn in his class you will use for future references. Any grade you get YOU EARN!

Professor Santelises is good at what he does. You will learn A LOT and the class requires you to think before speaking as you prepare for your speech. If your are expecting an easy A this is not the class. You will work for it, I got a B which was on me but as long you follow the instructions given you will be fine. There are No tests just speech's

Mr Santelises is a tough prof. If you want an "A" you have to work for it. People that attended my class felt they should be given an "A" without working for it. From my standpoint his intentions are good. I came from FIT and other colleges and breezed through the classes, but this was my first at MDC and I was challenged. I learned a lot thanks!

Had this professor for Summer B, he is hilarious and very kind. It is very difficult to get an A in his class because he is very critical. Make sure to follow his exact directions and do all the work as he says, and you can get an A.

I really enjoyed this class. Great lectures that educate and entertain. Really helped out when ever I had a question , and showed interest in me and in the class. Gained a lot of knowelge that I have applied in real life settings

I had a tough time really comprehending what the professor required on written reports, but I enjoyed the class and use the skills I learned in my personal and professional life.

You have to work for your grade but he is there to help you with any questions you have. A stickler for details but he gives you all the information you need to pass each assignment. Participation is very important and you will read most of the textbook. Lots of writing and several presentations but you will learn a lot.

He is a great teacher and he truly cares about his students education. He helps students get ready for the real world!

He does have a unique personality. His mannerisms and dialogue are funny. His assignments can be a bit annoying as he does worry about format but he makes it clear he is trying to prepare you for the real world. Buckle up, kiddies.

Excellent professor. He makes the class interesting, and you actually learn from it.

Professor Santelises is so smart and funny! He might seem hard at first but he really cares about his students. He does give consistent work but they are all easy assignments. He basically spoon feeds you to tell you exactly what he wants so just follow the outlines. His class is not an easy A but it was a joy and I learned a lot!

He is an excellent teacher, very funny. I don't understand how people fail, but get ready for speeches and presentations! NEED BOOK or you will fail.

His class is not an easy A if you're not willing to learn and expand your horizons. He spoon feeds you the information that is also available in his syllabu, and he is also available during office hours for additional help. He expects his students t to have common sense, and ability to do their part as a student. Over all his class benefited me.

The professor has expectations for his students to fallow directions, and have common sence. The reason why he sets weird rules, and expects work to be done certain way is to prepare his students for real world, and it's cruelty. He will work with you as long as you will show intrested and effort of passing the class. 3

Professor Santelises is a great professor. SPC1017 was a class I personally dreaded, being more of a mathematical type of person, communication is not really one of my virtues. Santelises was beyond inspiring despite the fact that he tends to be confusing sometimes. One of the best and most inspiring professors for me yet. His class was something.

Professor Santelises is a very personable and caring professor. We were always laughing in class. On the other hand, he doesn't follow up on assignments. One day he'll mention one assignment, then next week mention it again but changed up. Not sure if this was a test or that he just doesn't take notes on what he lectures on.

I passed his class with an "A". Even for an introvert and a person that's not comfortable with public speaking. He is funny and will work with you on your speeches. Follow directions very carefully and be on time. I found this class to be very useful in my everyday life.

I'll start by saying, I got an A in this class . He's very strict about format, so pay close attention. I recommend seeing him during office hours. He will give you feedback to get you on the right track. If you suffer from stage fright and want to get better at giving presentations take this class! You get out what you put in!

He is fair.. But.. He wants you to success d.. So you have to work

I took this professor in summer B.(6 wks) He was the hardest professor I've had so far, but he really does care for his students. He is not one to take as a joke. He takes into consideration how you act in and out of the classroom. Going to his office hours are quite helpful. Passing with a decent grade requires listening and following directions.

Professor Santelises taught me a great deal. I was able to learn how to properly cite and incorporate sources in a paper. He pushed and challenged me as a student to be better. He promoted punctuality and attendence, which prepares you for the real world. I felt better prepared for the rest of my college experience because of his encouragement.

Professor Santelises cares for his student to succeed and always gives constructive criticism for you to improve your skills. He thoroughly describes what he requires of his assignments and isn't all lecture heavy. He is one of the greatest professors I've ever had, especially when it came to enhancing my presentation abilities.

I highly recommend Professor Santelises, Juan to any student who wants to succeed . He is not only a great Professor but also an advisor.

Professor Santelises really cares about teaching his students how to use communication skills in the real world. But, he really makes you work for your grade; he's very picky about his assignments so make sure you follow his formats.. Also, turning in assignments is usually non-negotiable, just turn it in on time; no excuses.

PROF sometimes can be odd but he means well. He teaches you how to be successful in the business world, especially with first impression. Body language is graded. It can fail you. He likes for you to be positive at all times.

If you follow his rules and actually try you will pass. He is a amazing, funny, and outgoing teacher. Mainly group work with a couple solo Speeches. He helps you alot if you ask questions in class. It is as simple as follow directions and you will pass.

I had the best time of my life in this class! He defiantly is one in a million. Either you'll love him or hate him... But hes WAYYYY Underrated! He will defiantly make the semester worth it!!!! TAKE HIMMM!!!! -SMM

I had the best time of my life in this class! He defiantly is one in a million. Either you'll love him or hate him... But hes WAYYYY Underrated! He will defiantly make the semester worth it!!!! TAKE HIMMM!!!!

You will gain a great deal of knowledge, Professor Santelises is strict and professional. You will need to purchase the book or have at least one person in your group purchase it. YOU WILL PASS IF YOU complete all assignments, speeches, and service learning hours. Taking this course really helped me with my fear of public speaking.

I had a good time in Professor Santelises class; it was interested. His feed back is about the future, the real word and teaches you about the environment as well. He just want the best for his students to success in the real world.

Professor Santelises is awesome! Classes are meaningful, engaging, and relative. He WILL NOT just hand you a good grade though, by no means an easy A. BE ON TIME, ATTEND EVERY CLASS! Follow his guidelines very precisely and pay attention in class! Don't take, if your phone is glued to your hand, youact immature, or can't handle REAL WORLD convos.

Professor Santelises challenges his students. Prepare yourself for lots of group activities, and oral presentations. I found this professor to be inspiring because his class helped me overcome my shyness and made me feel comfortable while publicly speaking. He is a tough grader! Don't skip class, and overall be respectful and mature.

Although my input might be quite controversial, Professor Santelises allows his students to take initiative and improve their communication skills. Often speaking during office hours is helpful. His class was challenging, but made me realize that not all things come easily with minimal effort; be prepared to work hard for a good grade.

The course significantly improved my writing and speaking. We spoke about important topics that affects our day to day basis. The informative and persuasive presentations teach you to be careful with your words. Hes very accessible during office hours. Really nice individual with a good heart. Definitely recommend!

Good professor with knowledge and experience.

Professor Santelises is great . If you like to learn and discuss about meaningful things, I would definitely recommend you taking him. You can see that he really cares about the kind of education that you receive. He gives great advice and also prepares his students for real life challenges. Be attentive, follow his lead and you will do great!

Professor Santelises class was great, he knows a lot about what he's teaching. He's a very critical grader so I advise you to visit him during office hours if your experiencing difficultly. His class challenges you to be bigger a better and if thats not what youre looking I advise you to not take his class. Also, he makes corny but funny jokes.

Great professor. Available and very understanding. The calendar is very useful tool. No Surprises. He is big on professionalism so, cameras must be on the whole class time and there is dress code for official presentations. If you are respectful and willing to do the work, you will succeed. Some classes will be very fun.

If you really want to learn and reach a high intellectual level, take this class, otherwise do not take it. All you have to do is what a good student does. Do all homework on time, be prepared for class, be in class every day. For me, this professor teaches what my generation has lost "respect". Thank you, Professor Santelises for all you did!

Professor Santelises explains what he requires from you the first day of class. Which is he grades everything including communication when I say everything I mean every thing. He sets an assignment and shows you an example of how its needs to be completed. He also has office hours where he explains anything you need (he grades that also).

Professor Santelises is not as bad as people make him out to be. His lectures are in-depth and have group communications. Presentations are important and manners matter. His feedback is great! May seem bad but he's not. I was worried in the beginning and now I honestly would take him again.

he is very patient and kind, and he does not mind repeating over and over and other for us to understand, the homework is more logical homework which means it helps you think like a college student. In my opinion, it was a fun class, Dynamic.

This Professor is not hard teacher that will not give you any problems. However, make sure that we do all assignments, make sure you attend all of the classes, and all of the assignment should be done correctly and every presentation is done perfectly. Especially, the presentation have to be done correctly, make sure there is no mistakes. One secre

Good learning! I much appreciate that, Thank you, Professor Santelises.

Professor Santelises is literally not that bad, people dragged it. Listen I got a C and will still respect and acknowledge that he is an excellent professor. He WILL mold you into a professional public speaker. Best advice: do NOT miss class, camera & mic a MUST, FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES, when you present don't read straight from notes. Trust me.

hello :-)

The class is not difficult & if you put your mind to it, you'll do fine. He can be tough with grading but he is fair. Don't be afraid to ask questions, he will answer you. He is very engaging so pay attention & know what's going on. He is very funny. The curriculum is sound and very helpful for the future no matter what your degree is going to be.

I took this course in 6 wks so everything seems harder, but it's really just condensed. The curriculum was sound and helpful. I learned some things I didn't even consider. I would advise taking this class after ENC1102, so you have APA format understood. This is a writing intensive class. Prof. is great and truly wants to help his students excel.

My experience with him wasn't bad at all. He does require a lot of in-class participation, camera on the whole time, etc. But I found his classes enjoyable most of the time. The most annoying part I can think of is when it comes to group assignments or when he asks for formal attire (which was once), but besides that, I think he's a good professor.
