He takes role in class, gives extra points for assignments he forgets about. Has 10 quizzes from the book. Test are applied knowlegde and pretty hard. Lectures are pretty entertaining but long. Overall average teacher.

He's a very funny guy most of the time. Sometimes he gets off track on lectures. Our first exam was a week or two behind. You need to read before the quizzes and tests but he drops the 3 lowest quizzes and gives a good bit of bonus. Pretty easy!

An A in his class is achievable. You HAVE TO go to class. He gives a lot of participation credit that totals up to over 100 points and any extra points is carried over to give extra credit. He really is a nice guy, he uses his personal stories a lot, but be thankful b/c it helps you learn the material. Tests are hard so paying attention is key. A+

Extremely tough class. i missed out on a B because of laziness. It's so hard to attend the classes because they are so boring. He's a nice guy though and very approachable and he gave like 60 points in bonus but the tests were REALLY hard. If you have to take it like i did i recommend dedicating lots of study time to it.

Class attendance is not mandatory, however he gives so many bonus opportunities that you should go. I missed out on an A soley from laziness. Not a hard class..three tests and about 10 in class quizzes. Filbel is very funny, weird, and helpful

Paying attention and taking notes in class is important; however, when it comes test time make sure you know the book just as well as the notes... If not better. He quizes you on the readings every week so make sure you keep studying the terms.

Filbel is a great teacher. He's super funny and makes the class fun. With any class, you need to attend because he does give quizzes but he tells you in advance when they are and what they're on. Quizzes are super easy 5 questions. Midterm was easy if you actually study and read each question carefully. One final. One project. Love him!

Great guy, funny lectures. No need to pay attention in class, just show up.

I like Fibel, he is a great guy and a good professor. His test are somewhat hard because he is a very detailed tester. But overall I enjoyed the challenges he presents.

Awesome teacher. A little weird but he knows what he's talking about. He's there for help if you need him and will explain anything very thoroughly if you just ask. If you go to class and study for the tests you'll make an A especially because he has a Clapton of class assignments. He keeps things interesting and was a great teacher.

You have to read for quizzes. Few exams are given. However, the exams are pretty tough so take good notes.

Liked him at the beginning of the year, entertaining guy. Gotta go class because there are assignments everyday & quizzes on the chapters. More than 50% of grade comes in the last two weeks of the semester, including a group project/presentation. By the end of year I disliked him due to the fact that he can't accept anyone's ideas but his own.

Go every day. He gives freebie 10 points randomly, that add up to the final points. His quizzes aren't necesarily "random" as other people on here suggested. He puts the dates on moodle and emails you before hand. Tests are usually text based so you do have to read a lot. I went everyday and got an easy A from attendance.

I LOVE THIS MAN! He was funny and relatable and kept every lecture lively and interesting. I cannot say enough good things about him. He gives quizzes on ever chapter but just read the book and you'll pass. Each test was 12-15 questions that were made clear by the study guide he gives to you before the test. take him take him take him

This guy is so funny, and really gives his all for every lecture. He always gives personal stories in his lectures that make you feel like you know him as a person, and the class is an easy A. Just show up and listen to the lectures... It's not a mentally challenging class, but you should read the chapter before weekly quizzes.

1. Show up to class 2. Do not get/read the book 3. Test/Quizzes are word for word on Quizlet 4. Tests are only 12 questions max 5. Literally the only "A" I have ever received in a course at LSU 6. Don't even need to look up from your computer in class 7. I actually enjoy listening to what he has to say sometimes 8. Wu-Tang Forever!

Filbel is funny and does his best to be entertaining - at times too much so. Have to read the chapter before you learn it in class for the quiz. Only fault is he has everything as a zero in the grade book until you do the assignment/test, so you wont truly know your grade until the end of the semester. Grading this way just doesnt make sense.

Pretty easy, you have to go to class. You will get a good grade on the tests as long as you fill out the exam study guides that he posts on moodle. I would fill these out & not even read the chapters. This class is literally so easy because all you do is study an outline and listen to him get off topic. as long as you put in effort, youll get an A+

He is definitely a character, unfortunately, he loves going off-topic and a lot of the stuff covered doesnt help for the quizzes/tests. All the work is super easy, but there's a lot. 9 quizzes (5 questions each), and 5 exams that are 12 questions each. Lots of stupid little in-class things are done that count for 10-20 points each. Easy A though

He's a great guy, test and quizzes are really simple. Attendance at the start of class though, put in the work an you will get the grade.

This was his first year teaching CMST 2061. From what he would say, "it was a duzzy." This guy is kind of like Sauley if you have taken him. He is funny but knows the material throughout. I learned a lot from this class that I will ACTUALLY USE in life. 100% take Filbel. You might think he is nuts because he is! That is what makes him unique!

Especially during the first few weeks of the class, everything you learn is pretty simple and common knowledge. That's at the expense of possibly being interesting, but the Filbel cares and wants everyone to do well. He tells jokes throughout (sometimes vulgar if you care) but go to class, random assignments pop up and can't be redone.

Go to class! You will not pass if you don't. I loved this guy. Honestly my favorite, he was so so funny and you don't really have to listen to anything he says in class to pass. READ THE TEXTBOOK AND THE CHAPTERS HE WILL TEST ON AND TAKE NOTES! Do this and study for these little quizzes from the textbook and NOT from what he says in class

He was great! His assignments are not that difficult and he gives great feedback. The textbook is an easy read as well.

Professor Filbel is a great professor. He cares about his students and answers emails. I would highly recommend this class. He rocks!

Professor Filbel is a really good professor and has much knowledge in the communication field as he's taught it for a very long time. His classes are very lecture heavy, but he makes it interesting with his corky personality. Quizzes are bi-weekly but pretty easy! I highly recommend taking Filbel if considering!

I really enjoyed his class! He made taking a 8:30am class worth it. He cares about his students and is funny. He says some life changing advice. There are weekly quizzes but only are 5 Qs based on the txtbook. Read the book and get an A. There is a group project at the end of the semester. Very simple tho. Also free easy 10-15 points a class too!

Professor Filbel is who everyone should strive to be. He is so incredibly intelligent and hilarious, his lectures never have a dull moment. Quizzes and tests are simple if you review your notes and Filbel gives very interesting assignments in class. TAKE HIM IF YOU CAN!

This class is a moderately easy A if you just read the chapters and go to class. Quizzes and exams are just over the chapters so give an hour each week to take notes over the chapter and you'll be good. Filbels lectures are entertaining and light, honestly an enjoyable class to attend.

One of the best teachers I've ever had. He WILL help you get a good grade, just listen to what he has to say. There's work almost every day, but it's light work and he makes you think. His lectures are very good and enjoyable. Only down side: Tests and quizzes. Quizzes are moderately easy, but the tests have a couple reaallly specific questions.

Something in his lectures may be on quiz/exam, but most of it is from the text. Filbel is really great, he works well with his students, is lenient, funny, and an all-around great professor. You make 10x better grades for showing up bc of the easyA in-person assignments and attendance. He's always open for office hours and accessible through email.

Very friendly, entertaining, and great at showing why certain concepts are important in daily and professional life.

He makes the material extremely engaging, but the quizzes and tests are so short. You can't miss one question without your grade dropping significantly. You also really can't miss class because he does in-class assignments pretty much every day that make up a significant part of your grade.

Professor Filbel is a great professor with an extremely easy class Unfortunately you have to attend class everyday, but by doing so and reading the textbook there's no way you won't get an A, and the class material itself is extremely easy

The quizzes aren't that bad; you have to read the book. Attendance is mandatory. His tests are somewhat hard. The final project was fun though where you make a game. However, I would say take his class because he teaches you so much about communication skills that you won't get anywhere else.

filbel was a fun professor. He's kinda a strange dude but keeps you intrigued. youll do fine on the quizzes if you actually read the book. he doesnt really go over any of the info in class, he kinda j rambles. But if you put the effort in its an easy A. the group project was fun and the tests are just based on the quizzes.

Weekly 3 minute multiple-choice chapter quizzes. Kinda difficult so you MUST read and study the chapter before doing them. He expects you do check your email a lot to see the assignments. Work is not hard, interesting material, good lectures.

This is all you need to know. Very easy if you're mature and can read 8 paragraphs a week for the weekly quizzes. Go to class every day, like you would a job, and get a good grade. All of the assignments you do in class are participation points! I don't understand how people fail this class. His grading scale is 1000 total points, 47 bonus points.

Attendance is important because there is a lot of random in class assignments but they are super easy and you dont have to speak in front of the class. He has weekly quizzes and the tests are somewhere around 12-16 questions.Attend class and listen to the lectures or read a little bit of the book the quizzes and tests are fine.

Filbel was such a fun professor. He made class very interesting and exams were only 12 questions- so easy. There's a big amount of in-class graded assignments and quizzes, but they are very easy points and not stressful at all. Couldn't recommend him more, shares a lot about himself and emails us reminders about quizzes/exams ahead of time.

Father Filbel (self-proclaimed title) is a charachter. His lectures may not be about the material but you'll get more out of the class than you would a boring professor going over the textbook. Go to class, read the chpaters for the quizzes, hour tops and you will be fine. Got a 100 on the exam, studied the morning of...
