easy if you follow his directions. was fun in the beginning but got tired of his corny jokes real quick. not too bad overall, seemed more laid back than most other speech classes.

Dr. Lancaster is great, good teacher, fair grader and sticks to his guns. He wants his class to be fun and be enjoyed, but he won't let anyone get off with slacking.

I think Prof Lancaster is a great guy. Didn't at first....failed his class once....my fault. Second time I realized that he is totally fair and just wants us to succeed. Over all just a real nice dude.

He is a great teacher if you listen to what he asks you to do.... I can say his class was my most bearable 9:00 so far

I really learned a lot in dr. lancasters class, and some would think speech would suck, but he made it interesting. if you are really preparred and have confidence in yourself in speaking you will do well. there arent many speeches you wil be giving which is nice for work load, but also make sure you prepare for those few speeches cause they coun

lancaster is an excellent professor...very clear insturctions and very helpful. the only students who hate him are the ones who do not follow directions or do not get the work done on time. his class wa a lot of fun for those of us willing to put forth a little effort. it was a real pain for slackers.

lancaser is amazing. i so didn't want to take speech but he makes it fairly fun, and way less uncomfortable than i thought it would be. he spells out exactly what he wants so you really can't go wrong. he says to practice your speeches alot but you really dont need to. i just winged most. hes awesome, and takes cig breaks with us.

Enthusiastic and very funny!! Made speech much more bearable than I thought it would be.

Most amazing Speed and Public Speaking Professor ever!! If your nervous about this class take him, he will help you overcome any fears!!

best teacher i ever had! always joking around and being funny and doing little dance moves randomly... you dont want to fall behind, but if you do your work (which was barely any) you will be fine... also he comes out for cig breaks and chats with us...

no textbook for class! dr. lancaster is awesome! best teacher i've had @ SCAD....i wasn't excited about the class considering the subject but he made it more fun than i expected! great guy...i highly recommend him!

He is great: flamboyant, descriptive of assignments, funny and personable. He has some strict rules for speech about time limits and having a perfect outline, but just check it before your speech and you'll be fine. if you have an A at the end, you can skip the last class and dont have to take the final. he makes speech fun and less stressful

Lancaster is amazing! Take him!

he is an amazing teacher! I found his class relaxing and im insanely shy. It gave me the confidence to give tours at work. Hes got a great sense of humor. Loves to teach and loves SCAD students! To top it off he remembers me and says hi to me when he sees me around town, remembers my name even after a year. To me that says a lot. TAKE THE MAN

Dr. Lancaster is very strict to his syllabus, but very funny. His instructions are very clear, and he's willing to meet you after and during class. Great guy.

One of the best teachers I've ever had. He's extremely funny and nice. He gives sample speeches and sample outlines for EVERY assignment, which helped a lot. Follows the syllabus he gives you to a T. Amazing professor. Take him!

Prof Lancaster was an amazing prof. Funny and entertaining, he made speech class a blast. I absolutely dreaded this class, but he made it so fun that it became one of my favorites. people who hate speech should take him because he's really easy too. He is rather strict on assignment requirements and datelines but meet them and u'll get full marks.

This man is amazing. No text book is required,but note taking is a must (or you just wait a day and he'll send you the notes via email. He understands how nerves and Public Speaking work and he doesn't waste your time in or outside of class. He's always open to questions and he has a good sense of humor. I Public Speaking is what you need TAKE HIM!

I was SO nervous about speech class, and this is my favorite class ever hands down. He is also the best teacher I've ever had. It's a fairly easy class. He is very understanding and witty. He makes every class interesting and enjoyable; remember I have this class at 8AM Monday morning and I am not a morning person!

Decent class. I don't like how he rambles about things that have nothing to do with the matter at hand, but he is very clear about what he wants for your assignments. He also has some interesting/amusing stories.

He's inflexible about deadlines and format but very clear on what exactly you need to do. Just follow his instructions and you should have no problem getting an A. Also has optional study sessions outside of class for every major assignment. E-mails you notes from each lecture.

Prof Lancaster is an excellent teacher. Only problem I saw with him is that he is inflexible with requirements and deadlines but his instructions are clear and his requirements are not hard to meet at all. I was dreading taking speech at the start of the quarter and I ended up really liking it and getting an A. TAKE HIM, you wont be dissapointed.

Lancaster is so nice, and he's hilarious. But if you're a nervous speaker/procrastinator like me the class is hard. The days you're going over topics are fun, but then speech day comes and you get graded pretty tough. He does provide you with everything you need to make a good grade, you just have to really fight to get it and pursue extra help.

Best professor ever! Dr. Lancaster is hilarious, and a REAL teacher, not a cookie-cutter, textbook bashing machine. He uses the best examples, and taught us all that Thursday night is in fact, party night. I was not comfortable speaking at all and my first time up there was a breeze! You'll love it!

Lancaster is the BEST speech teacher ever! He is a pretty simple guy, with harsh grading and guidelines, but gives you every opportunity at hand to get an A.

He's an excellent teacher, good personality. He can be pretty strict on grading, but that's the only negative I have.

He is a good teacher but the class is a little tough and he can he a hard grader at times. But overall fine class.

He is an awesome teacher if you are a hard worker. His assignments are crystal clear and unless you are a slacker there is no way you can't earn an A. If you work hard you will earn an A but if you don't do your work you will fail no doubt.

He grades a little tough, but he gives you sample outlines with exactly what he wants. Two of the most helpful things he does: a practice, non-graded speech introducing each other where he points out minor flaws, and he actually holds up flash cards with your timing for speeches, so you know exactly how much time you have left!

great teacher, he is passionate and cares about his students. He gives you many examples and is just a fun teacher that makes the class interesting. I was nervous going into the class, but if you put in the effort you have many opportunities to get an A. If you have an A right before the final you dont have to take it and you get an A in the class.

I really enjoyed this professor. Sucking up is helpful he loves it and gives you extra points in the grade book no lie. He keeps the lectures interesting and I rarely got bored. He is very fair with grading and you must be prepared for your speeches, presentation aids and all. I would recommend this professor to everyone get him if you can!

Professor Lancaster makes public speaking a lot less intimidating because he prepares you well for speeches. He tells you exactly what he wants for every assignment and you can always ask him to review your work before submitting it. He was funny and made class really interesting. Don't be terrified of public speaking! I'd definitely recommend him.

I didn't LOVE his humor and tangents like a lot of people, but he was a pleasure to have. I was terrified of speech and now I still can't believe I'm already done with it. He's awesome because he literally spells everything out for you.. if you follow the rubric and directions, practice a few times with confidence, you'll do great.

very loud and talks a lot. didnt feel like a college course. thought he was a bit annoying, but he's nice. if you can deal with an extremely animated and repetitive style of teaching take him. deadlines and criteria are strict, serious points are docked if you dont follow them, but the work isnt too demanding. just do what he asks and youll be fine

Lancaster was the best!!! He was very entertaining and funny. We watched a lot of youtube videos in there. The speeches weren't hard, just make sure you pay attention to what he asks for. I had this class at 8 am and never had a problem going to class. I highly recommend him for speech!

I was terrified of public speaking before this class, but Lancaster made it so easy and actually enjoyable. The tests are incredibly easy if you actually read the book, and the speeches are easy if you just practice a little bit. I highly enjoyed this class and would definitely recommend it.

He's a great teacher, very clear and tells you what you need to know. However he is a very harsh grader, so watch out. It was a pleasure having him as a teacher.

What can I say about Kelly Lancaster? He is a extremely funny and easy going. He would love to see everyone get a A, but that doesn't mean that he will give it to you. You still have to put in the effort and PRACTICE your speech. I can't say anything negative about this guy. Textbooks are rarely ever used and his test are pretty much common sense

Lovely, lovely man. I was not looking forward to taking speech, but he made it as painless as possible. It is very clear that he is passionate about teaching.

Hilarious, caring, passionate, and kind. His mother passed the quarter I took his class, but it didn't stop him from making his class enjoyable for his students. He truly loves his job. Beware though, he is a tough grader, but only because he tells you EXACTLY what he wants.

Awesome teacher, very funny and keeps you entertained. Not a terrible grader but tells you exactly what he wants for speechs.

He is the best. The class is really entertaining, and I've never fallen asleep in his 8am. He is very clear on what he wants and expects from his students, and is willing to help. He is not an easy A , but it's not impossible to get an A in his class. Just follow his guidelines and study for the exams, you will be fine...and have fun! Take him!

I would not recommend this professor unless you have vested interest in public speaking. Very rough grader, minor incidents during a speech can drop you 2 letter grades. He is extremely clear about assignments but gets very defensive if you ask for more feedback. If your major requires a lot of public speaking, take him, otherwise find someone else

He is an entertaining professor and is very clear with his expectations. However, I was not a strong public speaker going in and was a little terrified. If you are the same don't take Lancaster, you will cry. Probably more than once. Not only did it put a dent in my GPA but my now crippling fear of public speaking is going to take some serious work

He is one of the favorite teachers I had at SCAD. If you PAY ATTENTION and FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS for the speeches you'll get an A. Most people complain that he cares about "small things" but these "small things" are said in class over 10 times and are in the instruction sheets but still people wont do it and blame the professor. Lectures are fun.

Going into this class I was not looking forward to making speeches. But Prof. Lancaster made it one of my favorite classes. He's very clear about what he expects from you, which I found very helpful. He's very funny during lectures and allows you to email him your outlines for review. He's also very easy to talk to! Take him!

Mr. Lancaster is a great teacher. You learn a lot, but it isn't too much work. It's really great if you have other classes that take a lot of time. He's really funny and entertaining. He will review your outlines before turning them in and is available for help all the time.

I LOVE Dr. Lancaster. Speech was my favorite class just because of him! He is very straight-forward and tells you exactly what he expects. He makes the class enjoyable and as anxiety-free as possible. He is such a sweetheart and I'd recommend him to anyone and everyone. The effort you put forth is what you receive in return from him!

Excellent professor. Makes something like public speaking which is scarey to most people a lot easier to get through!

I found the class suitably rigorous. However professor is extremely helpful. I started with a lot of anxiety, but now I am very confident preparing and delivering a professional and very well-structure speech. Great professor. I highly recommend him.

Professor Lancaster is a great one. I was terrified to take a speech class, but he makes it fun & very enjoyable. He is HILARIOUS & plays plenty of YouTube videos to enhance your understanding of the things he talks about. You will never be lost in his class.If he sees that you have goals to aim for a specific grade, he will help you get there!

hes awesome but a really tough grader , i thought i was good but my grades weren't

Nice guy and really funny. Good professor and teacher. Do not argue with him, pay attention, don't use your phone and no computers. Over all great class. Be warned he is strict with due dates but he tells you and gives you time on speeches. If you follow his directions anyone can get a good grade in this class.

He's a real tough grader, don't ever try to get into an argument with him or he will shut you down in front of the whole class. No cell phones, he has no patience for that. Don't try to give excuses no matter what. I didn't really like him tbh.

Dr. Lancaster is a great professor who really cares about his students. The assignments are very straight forward and the speeches themselves will be easy as long as you practice and follow the guidelines. You can tell that he's passionate about what he is teaching.

Very well organized and clear on what he expected. Did checks on outlines through e-mail. Learned a lot on speaking. My only dislike was that he showed a couple of movies we could have easily watched on our own time.

Really loved this class! Had so much fun, and you can tell he really cares about each student as an individual.

Extremely nice and helpful. He makes you feel comfortable speaking in front of a class. I gained confidence in speaking after taking this class.

Lancaster is the best professor I've had at SCAD so far. He is clear in his criteria, helpful, and an amazing and interesting lecturer. He makes you read a lot about Thomas Jefferson, but it's worth it from what you get out of the class. He cares about his students and wants to help you, but he is strict on his rules, so make sure to listen to him.

Don't miss class, be ON TIME and ALWAYS check the syllabus. He's very by the book, but is a good professor. In order to make sure your assignments are on time, check the syllabus supplemental because he definitely won't tell you. Everything is weighted the same so if you miss 1 assignment you have to work like hell to bring your grade back up.

If your in art school for art & not comm choose another professor. Forces you to learn a whole lot about Thomas Jefferson & I'm no history buff. Pointless readings and really tedious research for speeches. He comes off nice but don't get on his bad side otherwise hescondescending. I Regret picking this professor. He has no mercy with grading either

Lancaster is one of those teachers that doesn't seem to trust his students or realize we have other classes. He knows his stuff to be sure, but the deadlines are strict and the assignment requirements even stricter. This wasn't a hard class, it was just time consuming, more so than it should have been, especially since this is art school.

Lancaster is awesome. He has a great sense of humor and genuinely wants you to do well. I highly recommend him.

As long as you actually put in effort and actually follow his (very thorough) rubrics, you'll be fine. I don't know why it was so difficult for so many people, because his grading criteria is laid out. Be warned, he does have pop quizzes.

Lancaster is the best prof I have ever had. He is clear concise and organized. He loves coming to class and teaching every single day. There is never a dull moment and his lectures are as interesting as a speech class can be. He understands the affects of anxiety and works with you. The textbooks are boring but combined are under $40.

I had him my first semester at SCAD. At first, I was hesitant about public speaking, but after taking his class, I feel prepared enough to take on anything. He obviously loves his jobs and his students. The textbooks are cheap and the workload is manageable.

Very funny, class passes pretty fast. Speeches are clear-cut and quite easy to get through. Gives you a pretty wide topic range to choose from yourself. Loosens up the setting so it's not so nerve racking when its your time to speak.

He made my quarter! Lancaster is an amazing professor who genuinely wants you to succeed. He provides so many opportunities for extra help and gives clear rubrics for every assignment.

Honestly if you're just looking to get rid of your COMM class taking Lancaster is fine, but I genuinely hated this class and not because I don't enjoy speech. I found Lancaster to be close minded and harsh. He has a tendency to view his students as numbers, not people, and disregarded his students' opinions. Be ready to learn about Thomas Jefferson

Professor Lancaster was really helpful. There are many grading opportunities other than just speeches to help buff your grade. Even if you're really nervous or awful at public speaking, you can do well in this class. He tries to help with anxiety as well, spends like a whole class period talking about it. Make sure you meet deadlines.

Lancaster has honestly been my favorite professor. He knows how to keep the class entertained while he's still teaching. He grades fairly and he tries to stay open-minded about people who have anxiety. I feel like I've grown as a student and I feel more confident about public speaking. I highly recommend Prof. Lancaster.

It communications and like most art students I don't care for public speaking. Prof Lancaster gets that we don't love public speaking but encourages you and prepares you to not be so scared.

Prof. Landcaster helps you overcome the fear of public speaking. Do not skip speech days whether or not you are speaking it will hurt a chunk of your grade.

Dr. Lancaster will have you read and discuss the readings in class. He is always respectful and very humorous. He is very clear in the way of telling you what his expectations are, and how each assignment will be graded. As long as you listen to what he has to say and follow directions, you'll be golden.

Nice guy. This class is way, just do everything he says and follow how he wants it done. As long as you do that you can get an easy A. Don't be 15 minutes late to class otherwise you can't do your speech or turn your work in.

I learn a lot!

He has a very specific set of rules to follow. If you follow them all closely, you will pass. He is upfront about all rubrics and grading so nothing will ever come as a surprise. I never read/purchased the Thomas Jefferson books and still got an A.

Play Lancaster's game and you'll get along just fine. He's very clear when it comes to the rubric, and if you stick to it you'll get an A for sure. even if some of the rules don't make the most sense. This is one of the few classes at SCAD where you really don't want to think outside the box too much in terms of the guidelines.

I love him. He is hilarious and smart and his lectures are never boring. He shuts down crap from a tudents too... you will never be surprised he is the most clear and concise professor on expectations. Its easy to get an A because he tells you exactly how.

I wasn't so sure at first, but he's awesome! He tries to make lectures funny and interesting which is appreciated. His day on anxiety is good for anyone who doesn't have clinical anxiety. He's pretty strict on grading and submitting things on time as well as looking at the syllabus. He cares too. He works with students the best he can. Great guy.

Absolutely loved his Speaking of Ideas class

I had a great time in this class. Lancaster made it a stress-free environment and made sure we all felt comfortable with public speaking. I'm glad I got this professor.

Kelly Lancaster is a great professor; he makes a class like Comm 105 tolerable most of the time, and enjoyable on occasions. This is the closest thing at SCAD offers to a highschool class in terms of criteria, but Lancaster makes it challenging, yet interesting. Be prepared to work, always be respectful, and make sure you participate in class.

Im terrified of public speaking, but can truly say I look forward to this class. Lancaster is SO CARING about his students. He understands how bad people's anxiety can get, and doesnt get mad if you have a hard time speaking&helps you through. He makes class so fun but professional too. if you hate public speaking, HIGHLY RECCOMEND LANCASTER!!!

This class isn't easy by any means, but Lancaster is a caring and wonderful professor who will provide you with everything you need to succeed. He is a little Thomas Jefferson crazy but its entertaining to say the least. If you have trouble speaking in front of people, he gives great advice and help for maintaining anxiety and stress.

I was scared for this class cuz I hate public speaking but Lancaster made it so much better. He was honestly great and I learned a lot about how to prepare for a speech. His lectures in class are great. But beware, he will not accept any late work. He also basically based his entire class on Jefferson. He doesnt let u use technology in classroom.

Professor Lancaster was a really great professor who truly wants to help you and see you succeed. If you follow the guidelines that he sets out, you will do just fine, and everything that you need to know is on the syllabus or on Blackboard.

Lancaster is great. He's not my favorite, but he's highly organized & gives clear grading criteria with all the tools you need to get an "A." Sometimes he says things that make you raise an eyebrow, and he's incredibly strict about the attendance policy and how it affects receiving credit for your work, but he's overall a solid prof for COMM.

I can't say enough great things about Prof. Lancaster. He is so engaging and even though it is so hard to give speeches in front of peers, he made it bearable and I even had successes that I have taken with me to new classes. He loves teaching and it shows.

When I first read the rules for his class I was scared. But I went into class day 1 and instantly loved him. He is strict, but he makes all of his requirements perfectly clear. I was never confused. His class talks about Jefferson a lot, but many speeches are just loosely tied to the topic. He loves his students and wants us to succeed. Take him.

Professor Lancaster is a wonderful teacher. He is caring and truly wants the best for his students. During my quarter with him he had a literal heart attack but was back in class the very next session. To succeed in his class you HAVE to follow directions. You wont pass if you dont. He clearly defines all of his requirements, though.

If you're worried about public speaking, take his class. He's very kind and funny, he acknowledges anxiety, and he wants to help you succeed! He has his rules, and he's a little heavy handed about no phones in class. Also, there's no making up speeches/homework if you miss the due date. But it shouldn't be too hard to get stuff in on time anyway.

I LOVE Kelly Lancaster! he was an amazing professor. lots of reading on thomas jefferson, but he lets you choose all your own topics for speeches. hes hilarious, fun, and super outgoing. one of my favourite teachers ive ever had.

He will mark you off if you don't follow instructions exactly as written, but he is very clear in them. Very funny; he made the 8 am class bearable! All of your readings will be on Thomas Jefferson, so be ready for that. Does a very good job explaining things in class and tries to keep homework to a minimum. Overall, a great choice for COMM.

I was wary of him at the beginning of the quarter but he grew on me a LOT. He really makes the class interesting and you always leave with interesting tidbits of information. You'll be discussing Jefferson a lot but he's very informed and knows how to make it engaging. He's very specific about grading requirements but is very clear about them.

I was fearful and hating public speaking, but Lancaster made this a great experience! He follows his syllabus to a tee and still finds time to be hilarious. He tells you exactly what he expects from you and is always available to help because he truly wants you to succeed. The reading may feel excessive, but he works it into his lectures.

Dr. Lancaster was one of the best teachers I've had. Yes we read about Thomas Jefferson, yes he is a thorough grader, and yes he has his own views BUT he cares. If you do your work, you'll be fine. I see so many people on here complaining about him when he isn't bad at all. If you do the work and listen the class with be easy and you'll learn.

Professor Lancaster is extremely respectable, and treats you with the utmost respect if you work hard and show interest in his class. His criteria for each assignment is clear. He also gives you plenty of graded opportunities so if you mess up on one you're not screwed for the rest of the quarter.

Taking this class is like watching Hamilton the musical, but from Thomas Jeffersons point of view. He is obsessed with TJ, but his lectures are hilarious and he is a very quotable man. Just follow his directions and youll get and A. He hates tech use in class but its so that you are present in the moment with him and engaged.

Honestly I dont know what other people are talking about on this site. He is a great professor, he is so connected with the class and is not just reading off a slides. He was very humorous and we did so many funny little projects and he showed funny videos to keep us engaged. He was very approachable. But VERY serious about his due dates!!

His lectures were engaging and his grading criteria were very clear. If you do exactly what the rubric says, you'll get an A. He's very clear about his expectations and his deadlines.

Reading these comments are making me laugh. I did have him online and it was not hybrid. I dont know if it was just me or my class but he loved me and really help me with everything I had done. I read word for word off my note cards for the projects and still got 90s. I think he was hilarious and really told some great stories.

He can be a little picky when grading, but as long as you do what he tells you and follow the rubric than you'll be fine. I never had any problems with him, and he was very willing to answer any questions anyone had.

A lot of reviews here are old, and he's since changed his curriculum. He had amazing lectures, was funny, and gave us a lot of free will when it came to choosing our topics. He's quite picky when it comes to grading and specific sources, but if you follow the rubric exactly, I promise you'll get an A. He's happy to answer questions as well.

I don't know what everyone is complaining about on here. I didn't have to work too hard for an A. He's clear on what the grading criteria is and as long as you follow the rubric, you will be more than fine. I enjoyed his class and I think he is a good professor.

Dr. Lancaster has a unique teaching technique and doesnt allow any form of technology in the classroom. (including laptops for notes) The work is pretty straightforward but VERYYY time consuming. Although we had a lot of papers to write, he is a very easy grader so as long as you follow the criteria you should be fine.

This class definitely has work, but the reviews are blown a bit out of proportion. Just don't be lazy, if you do the work correctly you will get a good grade. If you don't follow instructions well, you might have trouble in this course. The class is 100% homework you don't do any work in class but it's pretty straightforward. Cool guy overall

Dr. Lancaster is so quirky and funny! He knows the material is somewhat dry, so he tells funny stories and cracks jokes to make the class more entertaining. Keep track of all the due dates, since there are multiple due dates on Blackboard each week. If you do the reading and put in the work for the outlines you'll walk out with an A.

No technology in class and the class is mostly a lecture. He tries to make it engaging w/ demonstrations, stories, videos, etc. Structured class w/ clear due dates and incorporation of material in assignments. ~2-3 assignments/week, sometimes nitpicky, so check rubrics. Only gives 95/100 on weekly assignments, so you little/no safety net.

Lancaster is an amazing teacher. His lectures are really engaging. He sends a lot of homework and you have to read a lot for this class. Nevertheless, the readings are really interesting. If you submit all your assignments and put some effort into them, you will get an A. I completely recommend taking COMM 105 with him!

He is a very jolly man and he makes the classroom environment feel safe to learn and commune. He is very particular about projects and presentations which can hurt or help you. It depends on how well the student follows directions.

Professor Lancaster is by far the best professor I have ever had. He is so nice and such a caring professor. You can tell he truly loves what he is doing. He has long lectures, but they are so exciting and funny. If you get the chance, take Professor Lancaster.

Dr. Lancaster is overall a great professor. He gives out clear expectations for each assignment, and as long as you pay attention to what he says you will do fine. The entire class is lecture, and the classes are recorded on blackboard, so it really is difficult to fail. There is a no tech. rule in his class, but I never had any problems with it.

Only 2 speeches! I'm surprised he has bad reviews, he lectures the whole class but he's pretty goofy so it was never rly boring! He fixed the no-tech policy, he just has you put it away. He has a very clear criteria so its super hard to fail bc he lets you send him anything & will help you take the exams! rec for anxious ppl w bad anxiety!!

I was very nervous to have a public speaking class, but the professor made it an enjoyable experience overall! Although he's a bit intimidating, it's very clear he cares about his students and wants to see them succeed. Be prepared for some hard work, but it's very rewarding. Wouldn't take a COMM class again, but professor is awesome.

Doctor Lancaster likes to get political in the classroom but besides that, really good course. Obviously, very boring to sit through 2 and a half hours of pretty much just him talking, but he keeps it lively and cracks jokes here and there. Lots of work and 4-5 live speeches. Creating the outlines would take hours and lots of hw the final 2 weeks.

I was very worried about taking a public speaking class, but Lancaster made it tolerable. I am still not at all confident with speeches but as long as you can follow the instructions and power through, the class is not that bad.

I was nervous to have a public speaking class, and I said this to Dr. Lancaster. He was very supportive and understanding and constantly reassured me that I could do it. He is a harsh grader for the speeches and will count off points for hair or clothes. He also loads up assignments during finals! Still, the class environment was pretty chill.

Professor Lancaster is very well-spoken, which makes sense for a speaking class. His class is structured down to each minute detail, so there are no surprises since every class goes according to the syllabus. This made his class much easier for me, but it might not do so for all. Take his class if you want a class not to have to worry about.

Professor Lancaster may seem scary and tough (which honestly he is) but he is also a fun professor that really pushes his students to improve their public speaking. The speeches are nerve-wrecking but every other assignment is very easy. Besides, you can see personal progress between the beginning to the end of the course!!

Prof Lancaster is kind, caring, hilarious and professional. He helped us build our confidence to give speeches and improve our abilities. Everyone in our class got fairly high grades as the grading rubric was clear and we got a lot of feedback before submitting a project. I wish he taught other courses so I could take his classes again.

Professor Lancaster has a structured teaching style, but can be strict on speech grading. The class is manageable if you stay on top of assignments. For study prep, using tools like Unstuck study and the free textbook really helped.

Professor Lancaster is a knowledgeable and dedicated instructor who emphasizes confidence in speech, essential for the art world. His class is strict but structured, offering extra help and constructive feedback. While challenging, it benefits those willing to put in the effort to improve their communication skills.

I loved this class! Lancaster was probably one of my most favorite professors at SCAD. He made a lecture-based class fun and engaging. I also enjoyed his sense of humor. He is a tough grader, very nitpicky, but his instructions on for projects are clearly spelt out. So as long as you fallow every part of the projects criteria you'll be fine.

I really enjoyed Professor Lancaster's class as he makes his expectations clear. He does outline reviews so you are able to obtain full credit when turned in. He gives clear feedback and and is upfront about what he expects from you. I would take his class again.

When I first entered his class I was terrified due to the reviews here. Lancaster is a tough grader and VERY nitpicky, but I felt incredibly safe and supported in his class. He proved to be one of my favorite professors and I fell in love with his lectures, even if they were long, but he makes up for it with his turnaround time for grading.

Don't go by the other reviews, Prof. Lancaster was amazing. Sure he can go off on tangents at times but he genuinely cares about his students. Has very clear grading criteria & opportunities for extra credit on both speeches & exams. We only have 2 big speeches in the quarter, much more chill that other people who had one a week. Highly recommend!

Speech class not bad
