Probably most laid-back teacher on campus. Classes are informal, lectures are never boring, & assignments are deceptively easy. Despite the lazy atmosphere, lazy students who don't put in effort will not do well. Little note-taking req'd & no book to buy.
Very good teacher; if not one of the best take him! Never missed class with him real cool down to earth teahcer

Mark's class is the best speech class. He doesn't require his students to buy a textbook. No mid-term either. He is a funky teacher I've ever had.His tests aren't difficult. As long as you follow his direction, you will get at least B.
One of the easiest professor's I've ever had! The midterm was take home and so was the final! Surprise, surprise! Only the most sluggish of students will fail his class, otherwise if you take notes, do your homework you'll be a sure A. 4 sure dood!
Mark is rad!! He's totally laid back and cool. Love all the facts on Big Foot!! If you take any of his classes you will not regret it.... he's so cool.
You should DEF take this during the summer, it's faster and easier. He's so kick back and funny.
Very no nonsense instructor. Did not put up with disruptions in class room. Very good and would recommend his classes.
Looks and acts tough, but is just a soft hearted teddy bear.
Very good and clear teacher. Just follow his direction and easy A.
this is the most easy class, i have ever take, if you couldn,t get an A, DON'T GO TO SCHOOL
I like the way he yells at rude students.Take this teacher!!!
If he doesn't like you, then you will only get a passing in his class.

He is cool, I enjoy his lecture, very interesting and I think he is so smart
He's smart,funny,enjoys what he does... I highly recommend him. I'm so glad I took his class; he made my time so enjoyable-I was looking forward to every class. STAY COOL MARK :)
this guy is really funny... he's always clownin on people and has awesome stories to tell. there's never a dull moment in class. just don't get on his bad side.
He may yell at classroom, but you will not feel any uncomfortable feeling. He is a good guy, I love him very much.
This guy is a "punk". Talk like a punk & walk like punk. He claimed that he is a fact-dude. Always telling us facts that surprise us. A very fun class to have. NO HW, NO Textbook, NO reading. He is kinda right, this is speech class is all about,
Tall, intimidating, and an all-around good old teddy bear. His bark is bigger than his bite. He is a really cool guy!
Don'recomment! Bad teacher!
he is a cool teacher !!!
He's such a character! Don't do anything stupid because he'll tell you how it is straight up!Hahaha I had so much fun in his class because he made me laugh at every single class. He's sooo hilarious! Just do your work and listen in class & you'll do fine
love this class! he was really funny and was very helpful. tests are take home so it is an easy A as long as you show up to class. Great teacher!
whitworth is a very good teacher. he explained everything you need to know clearly and concisely. looked forward to going to class everyday, hes very funny and entertaining. comes off tough but is very sweet!
GREAT GUY IF U LIKE FOUL LANGUAGE.

AMAZZZZING TEACHER, I did very little work in his class but Learned more there than any Class i EVER TOOK. MARK IS THEEEE BEST!!!!! trust me!! take this one
He is extremely easy. Almost everybody in the class got A, and nobody got a C. It was hard to fail his class. Anyway, he is very funny and cool. If you are the person who doesn't mind about sex talk and foul words, take him.
I took this teacher for speech 1 and 6. he's really nice, really cool, and really easy. just pay attention and talk to him, he loves people that have a good humor. you'll get an A!
As easy as pie! You can get a "B" in every speech and still get an "A" in class. How? Well, thanks for asking, just show up for every class and do all the extra credit (which is really easy, trust me or your money back ;) so stop r
Loud,disrespectful, unclear!!
This guy is freaking funny, and blunt, so don't get offended easily, he's just saying it as it is. If your shy, this class will cure it. He gives easy work and extra credit, and you will be soaring out of there with an easy A.
No extra cridit in my class!! easy to get an "A" if you follow his structure.
He makes a lot of kind of offensive remarks, most of the people in my class loved it, but a few people dropped because of it. Really easy grader, you can get an A even if you're bad at giving speeches, as long as you follow his structure. He ALWAY let my class out at least half an hour early.
This professor rocks. You can enjoy easy A in his class.
He's cool. The nice part is, you will learn the basics of giving speeches and you'll have fun, and get an easy A. You can't go wrong with this one really. He ALWAYS let's class out early, which is awesome! He is blunt...but it's funny.
Mark is the coolest...I would definitely recommend taking him cuz he's funny and he grades easy and he'll tell you how it is...just take him and see...
Great teacher!!!! Very funny, friendly. You'll really enjoy his classes. I strongly suggest to take his class!!!!!He does excellent job!
Mark is a teacher that is there because he likes what he is doing. He's funny in a tell it like it is sort of way and gets even the most glazed over students involved and liking it. Easy class, you will learn alot and have a great experience (even look forward to class!)
His class is not very hard, but he only likes sexy girls or funny guys, if you are, you'd better take his class because I promise you will be getting well. Otherwise, you will.... on some ways, he is dirty mind guy!
Mark is pretty good. For those of you who are afraid of giving your speech in front, I highly recommend you to take him. Also, he is an easy grader. If you follow the structures given and memorize your speech, dude you will be fine.
One of the best teachers I have ever had. Funny and gets everyone involved. VERY intelligent...but if you take his speech 6 DONT buy the book! I spent 80 bucks and never used it.
The easiest class I have even taken!!! I did nothing for the class and got an super easy A. Mark is funny! You won't get bored in the class. No homework, no text book! Highly recommend to ESL students!
Awesome teacher! He's funny, cool, laid back and down to earth! Class was very easy and he made you feel comfortable! No text, no homework, super easy! Just show up and be on time. Don't take him if you're sensitive and get offended easily... he's super cool!
he is wicked. he loves to make fun of others, but that occurs whole class, so everyone shares piece of shame. so, no big deal. he mostly smiles like an idiot, but that's kinda cute. he knows how to make people laugh. you see by yourself!
Mark is hilarious. It's really just a shame that my class was full of boring people. Don't bother buying the book, you won't need it. Take this class if you just need the credit, but if you want to learn public speaking and delivery, you'd be better off with another professor.
Mark is a cool teacher. he kind of reminds me of my boyfriend dad but other than that, he is an excellent teacher. will tell you what he wants in a speech. dont bother buying the book because you dont need it. highly recommended. he is very straight forward, and he might offend you but dont take it too personally. its all for fun.
Very funny~~~ attractive proffesor... i enjoyed his class~~~
HE IS THE BOMB!HE is the coolest teacher I ever had in my LIFE!He is funny and tells you everything really CLEAR. A lot of professor out there always tried to be funny, but this guy makes the class feels like a stand up Comedy. I actually attend class just to hear this Jokes. Really easy A and if you can't get an A in it then that is your prob
Intelligent, witty and humorous! His class is so vibrant and you actually see students looking forward to class and interacting. This teacher actually makes learning fun and educational. Highly recommended
He is the greatest professor I ever had, his class is very interesting and FUN!!!! Easy A
Mark is by FAR the best prof I have had at PCC! He will make you PEE in your pants....mostly it's crude humour, and some may get offended, which makes the joke all the better! NO homework, NO tests, but you will give speeches. He challenges you to be creative....if you don't make him laugh, then Forget it! (you will be the next joke!)
Funny as hell
Mark is the best professor i've ever had at PCC. He is very funny and tells us jokes all the time in every class. very humorous. everyone in class actually loves to attend his class at every class meeting. he is very clear about the speech topic he gives and also gives us very clear expample. TAKE HIS CLASS!!!
Easy A, just show up and do your speeches.
man he's funny as hell. just do your speeches and u will pass. talks a lot of**** but he knows what he's talking about. if u get offended easy don't take him. coolest teacher ever.
Mark Whitworth tends to give girls better grades. Nice guy. Very funny. As long as you follow the structures he gives you and finish your speech in time, u r garanteed an A. (He, once, was a cop by the way.)
Whitworth is a GREAT professor. He makes the class a fun atmosphere. He teaches with humor, and that's what keeps the students interested. There needs to be more Whitworth's at PCC. Very easy going person; he makes you feel at ease. I highly recommend this professor; you will regret taking someone for this class.
He is THE BEST! I took speech 1 with him too! You totally feel comfortable in his class. He teaches to your level and not his own. He's not boring. He is very entertaining and teaches at the same time. Take him, you won't regret it! Promise!
DAMN..HE'S A GREAT PROF. HE TEACHES HIS CLASS WITH JOKES AND LAUGH. FOLLOW HIS STRUCTURES: INTRO,BODY, CONCLUSION. AND U'LL GET AT LEAST 95% OF THE TOTAL POINTS. U WONT REGRET IT
Greatest teacher ever!!! he's the BEST teacher I ever met at PCC...don't think..take his class

Being a good teacher is everything to me it helps me stay focus in class I still talk to him everytime I see him how many people can say they still talk to there professor and calls themby there first name.
he is a great teacher easy A. he makes the class interesting with his debates. great sense of humor. take him you won't regret.
great class! great prof. Mark rules. take his class! do the work - get an A or at least B easy.
Mark is interesting and easy, if you listen to his jokes and are pretty
I took his classes in 1998 and his class was very good. Speech 6 is easier than speech 1. I got a B in speech 1 and an A in speech 6. He really motivates you to do well. He really cares about his students. Do not doubt it take his class.
he is very easy,you dont need buy the text and no homwork
If you take his class and dont get an A, you are probably mentaly challenged. Not only that his classes are easy to ace, he also makes em really fun too. really easy going as far as the tests and the speeches. all you have to do is read off ur speech. oh and the midterm and final are take home.
No Comments
very fun and easy teacher. as long as you make the effort of doing the speeches u'll pass his class
easiest A!! i suck at speaking in front of people and still got a good grade.. definitely recommend!!!
NO TEXTBOOK, HARDLY ANY HW. VERY FEW SPEECHES. EASY A. AS LONG AS YOU MAKE AN EFFORT. HIS CLASS IS ENJOYABLE, FUNNY GUY. IF YOURE A DODGER FAN MAKE SURE YOU MAKE FUN OF THE GIANTS. YOULL HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. GO DODGERS
This was an awsome class. Mark is hilarious! You have to be retarted to fail this class even though people still manage to do it. Anways I would recommend this class to anyone!
Mark is a great professor, fun class and great lectures. Anyone who want to take a speech should choose his classes.
awesome teacher. will argue with u even tho he agrees with you just for debate sake. easy grader. easy mid term and final. just 2 speeches. make sure u have ur cell phone on silent. or he will kick u out :)
extremely easy A. great teacher. There are 5 speeches to make but 2 are group speeches. Just follow the structures to your topics without adding more than what you need and get an A. He takes notes so half of the time he's not even listening to you. Teacher is very straightforward and he cusses a lot so if you're offended by words, don't take
So hard!!!
very weird teacher. thinks he's all that. he's biased. he doesn't listen to your speech but doodles all over your graded paper.
Mark is a great prof. He make class enjoyable and fun. Three major speech by yourrself and two group speech which is a piece of cake that u said what ever you want. Take home final. If you do up there and speak you will pass the class for sure even if you suck. I strongly recommended to take this class.
If you don't pass his class, you should really evaluate your level of intelligence! Easiest class ever, and the guy is hilarious!!!!
Mr. Superiority complex
Lamest teacher ever!!!!!
In wrong profession, should consider other career. Horrible teacher verry easily frustrated w/ studens. Gets moody when in classroom for too long.
Cool instructor, realistic and to the point. class felt like a round table where people voiced their opinions w/o restraints. Highly recomend him.
great professor! he's hilarious and there are no text books required. this class requires a lot of participation. there are no exams or quizzes but there are simple outlines of your speech that you must turn in. this class is interesting and fun, you'll actually learn a lot and you won't regret it!
Tries to act cool as if he were one of the students, but in reality he is not cool. And if you have any questions he is about as usefull as a coat during the summer time.
Do not take anything he says or does personally. If you show up to class and take great notes then you have nothing to worry about.
Does not like being in a classroom setting. Does not want to answer questions after class. Has a real bad attitude. Was once a highway patrolman and unfortionatly still has the superiority complex.
Funny stories and talks a lot. But don't take his comments to heart and feel free to toss comments back to him. Easy class, show up do your speech and get the A.
I could never recommend this guy. He is extremely rude and thinks he knows everything. Terrible professor, probably the worst I have ever had at PCC.
take this cl**** if you want a easy A. He is the easiest teacher you can ever have... he is really funny... his personality creates a fun learning enviroment... he does crack many jokes... some may take personally... i would take his cl**** again.. no doubt if i had to for another speech cl****. Attendance is a MUST
Great Professor EVER. Take his class.....he ROCK !!!
Funny stories, great guy. I enjoyed this class & laughed all the time. Just show up & do ur speech, everyone can get an A.
The best teacher at PCC
HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!EASY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!TAKE HIM IF YOU WANNA "A"
This teacher is great because he has no illusions about the importance of speech according to life. All you have to do to pass this class is get up and talk about something. No textbook required, lectures are funny and entertaining, and no home work other than writing up a speech. TAKE THIS CLASS.
he is one of the great professors in PCC. you never feel bored in his class, and you will learn a lot stuffs from him. no homework and no test. just go to his class for relax and fun. you will know you love his class
MARK IS A REALLY COOL GUY.DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF YOU ARE AFRAID OF BEING PICKED ON BY THE PROFESSOR. HIS MOUTH IS BIG BUT IT SAYS SOME FUNNY THINGS. HE LIKES TO CRACK A LOT A LOT OF JOKES. THE EASIEST CLASS I HAVE EVER TAKEN AT PCC. TAKE THIS CLASS AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT. ALL I DID WAS SHOW UP AND DO THE WORK. I GOT AN A.
he was really intimidating at first but you get used to him. i did well in the class, he gives clear instructions, just follow them EXACTLY and you will do fine.
This guy is great! He makes some f'n hilarious comments. If you need to take a speech class, take it with him. Like the previous comment beware if you are afraid of being picked on cuz he makes fun of some ppl...
This has to be one of the best professors i have taken yet. He makes class really fun, but if you get offended easily i suggest you dont take him. Easy A, just attend class. id say take him.
You can learn the materials that he is going to teach in one class.He knows it too so he is trying to get out of classroom faster than the students.Talk down to students is his daily ritual.If you have a little dignity in you and want to learn something. Take prof. Wilson. Plain simple,he is a dude trying to make a living pretending to be a profess

ok let me tell u guys straight out. If u are trying to knock it out off your GE TAKE HIM! NO book, 1 group speech, and 2 other easy ones. NO TEST NO NOTHING! Hes so funny, if u get a B in this class than go see a doctor somethings wrong. MARK IS THE BEST HERE FOR SPEECH. p.s. he will make fun of u but its ok...ur still getting an A!
I still dont know how he got this job. Maybe the more important question is how does he keep it. He used to be a Highway patrolman which sort of explains his superiority complex disorder. He should be teaching animals how to behave, actually on second thought animals probably behave better then he does. He is an insult to the whole education system
yes, he insult the education system at pcc about both knowledge and behavior
Mark is great! Sure, he only teaches the BASICS of making speeches, but you also learn about a lot of other things in life from him. Very interesting and enjoyable classes, cause he ALWAYS manages to crack us up. HILARIOUS. Makes life in college that much more tolerable. Easy grading. Just do exactly what he asks for, and you're guaranteed an A.
this guy teaches speech, but always use dirty words during lesson. How is irony when he is teaching speech. Nothing to learn from him except what you want to go to class without text book and leave class early
PEOPLE! PLEASE don't listen to all these negative comments!!!! MARK is awesome!!! People who wrote these comments are dumb and have no sense of humor. Yes he picks on people but just because they deserve it by being stupid. He is a great teacher...take him if you want an A just do your job and it doesn't matter if you are a guy or a girl.
If you want a degree you HAVE to take Speech, so take Mark's class. He makes Speech very tolerable and enjoyable - he is easy-going and funny! If you follow his instructions EXACTLY you get an easy A. But you need a thick skin for this class as he picks on students - just take it with a grain of salt and you'll be fine. (It means he likes you!)
He is awesome!!!Like everyone said,take his class and you will get easy A.What u need to do is follow what he said and say what he wants.
Like everyone said,take his class and you will get easy A.No textbook required. One presentation and debate paper. Midterm and final u can cheat as much as u can. U can finish midterm and final with ur friends or even the whole class turn in one midterm and final. EASY EASY!!!No doubt, take his Speech 6 class!!!
the best professor i have so far. take him
I'm all about easy teachers but this guy is something else. In short, he's a tenured professor - that means he'll pretty much never get fired no matter what he says in class (and he has a good time taking it to the limit). I've taken 85 units at PCC (have a 3.9) and this is the only class I've ever dropped. If I was Trump I'd say - You're Fired.
He does swear but like he says if you don't like it leave. You learn a lot, he is easy and helpful, makes everyone laugh. Follow the freaking directions and you will be okay! An easy B at the very least.
In this class, you can or cannot tolerate his big attitude and the way he judge you. Text book is none existence. All you do is present interesting presentations as long as you don't bore him then easy A or B. Bore him -> BAD GRADE. No homework and test. JUST YOUR SPEECH! Be sure avoid argue with him and come class 5-10 mins early. Got A.
HE IS THE COOLEST TEACHER DUDE!!! EASY A
This guy is the bomb! Every class was like a standup comedy. Take him, you will have the most fun of your life!
EASY A!!! I'm glad I took this course with Mark.
NO BOOK EXIST , BUT SODA. COOL LIKE SODA...BRRRRAAAAAA MARK....MARK....MARK....DADALI...DADALI
OMG...he is so cool...coolest...OMG..OMG.. SUCCAC MARK...SUCCAC MARK....BUCACMARK!!!
Mark is the best professor in PCC. His class is so fun. He talks a lot of his funny experiences. love him so much..
This is like the easiest class ever ever ever!!! SUPER EASY EASY A!!! Midterm and Final is sooo nothing. There is only two presentations which is the most worthy thing you could do in this class ;) GET UR A AND RAISE UR GPA DUDES.
It's true, you must entertain him to pass. if you bore him he'll probably give you like a C. you Should still pass him though. attendance isn't important to him just show up to when he explains what speeches are coming up and for the speech of course. no textbook, no final or midterm. very funny!!
Textbook is mandatory for this class - you need it for midterm & final. Only 1 speech required-the rest is take-home tests. This class is harder than Speech 1 (took him for Spch 1) because he wasn't clear on final exam requirements. Fun class at night after working all day! Easy A if you collaborate with other students and do extra credit.
Easy A! I did not do my midterm and final because my friends did it for me. Only two papers to turn in. No textbook. No homework.
Best teacher...he is tooo funny!! The class is a joke, its fun, entertaining, and learn a few things here and there. coolest teacher. He likes u if u attend his class and participate!Take him nobody else!!!midterm and final are open book.
Whitworth is funny & entertaining! Hes outspoken, but only cause hes likes feedback when asked. Midterm & essay are take home, open note/textbook & can work in groups! Be sure to take notes in this class though! It will come in handy for the midterm & final! Don't take him seriously & you'll laugh & enjoy his class. I wish more prof. were like him.
easy A. Don't buy book, don't really need it. Take home mid term & final (in groups) if you find someone to let you put your name on the paper, you won't have to do it. Very funny guy. No out of class work required. This class sllows you to concentrate on your harder classes TAKE IT!!!!
Mark is awesome!!! Yeah, he has attitude but SO WHAT?!? That is what makes the class fun and makes you lose the tension of speaking in public. FOLLOW DIRECTIONS!! It might not seem like a big deal but even if your speech is perfect but not according to his standards, you will fail. Easy A, hilarious teacher. I'm looking foward to speech 6 with him.
Mark is super funny and likes to have a good time with the subject at hand. He has great stories to tell and uses fun examples that relate to the material. Easy class. Take home midterm & final. Take his advice & buy an old edition of the text. If you get anything other than an A, you're an idiot.
One of the coolest teacher ever! Love it... He is so funny... If you don't follow his structures n get a bad grade, that's your own fault. What he ask is following his order. As simple as that... n an A is in you hand
I'm taking it right now (summer 2010). It's super fun. He uses a lot of bad words, but in the way that doesn't make students feel uncomfortable. You will learn a lot from this class about argumentation and have fun at the same time. For those who gave him bad reviews, I think they are so used to the way to just "go to class, memorize key terms, tak
For those who gave him bad reviews, I think they are so used to the way to just "go to class, memorize key terms, take a test" and believe that they have learned something, which is sad.

Got a kick out of this class! He's so darn funny and made my semester a lot less stressful. Take the guy! You won't regret it!
Really knows what he is talking about. Uses real life examples & analogies during lecture so it is easier to relate to the material. Has a great sense of humor. I really enjoyed his class, great for comic relief. Do not need to buy book b/c we hardly used it. Just borrow from a friend or the library when he gives you the take home midterm & final.
Mark is the best teacher ever :))) love his humor and his way of describing. His examples make so much more sense when he breaks it down. this class is just pure common sense ! no memorization needed :)! no book also!!
He is an easy professor with a great sense of humor. Grade is based on two speeches and two take home tests. Definitely recommend him!
Best professor at PCC hands down. Really knows his stuff and makes the class interesting and fun. He does have kind of a potty mouth both its part of his charm. He's the only cop that I can honestly say that I like. Highly recommended!
Loved his class.
I am in his debate class now. SUPER EASY! No tests, no homework (except for cutting and pasting stuff of the net)! WOW! Such an easy A! I also aced Speech 1, and this class is WAY easier than my Speech 1 professor at PCC. He is also loud and rude but in a humorous way that keeps the entire class laughing and lets us out early every single day
Stylish professor! very chill and easy :D
Liked his class, my 1st favorite class and i'm always looking forward to go to his class though we don't do academic work like hw and quizzes but you'll learn a great deal of things, not just public speaking. Succinctly humorously bold person, totally cool with me.
Mark is the BEST professor at PCC! He is so funny and is always straight to the point. He has a way of teaching that makes the info stick. Doesn't just give HW to fill out time. 1 speech, 1 paper, midterm, & a final and you're done! Oh ps: the midterm & final are take home :)
You don't need me to tell you this guy is amazing, you can see it all over this page. He isn't just an easy A, he actually teaches you and makes it very comfortable. Very funny.
Awesome class to take. Makes you feel comfortable in giving a speech in class. No textbook. You will learn while having a great time in class. Easy A if you follow his directions.
THE BEST PROFESSORS. Take him if you want to learn how to give a grate speech and get a EASY A.
HE IS COOL! BEST TEACHER IN PCC!
He is very funny, easy class, doesnt really care sometimes. Easygoing and his lectures are really interesting. Take this class to get an easy gpa/credit boost. Not many assignments to do. Very fair grading and assignments. You will have fun in this class.
The coolest professor in PCC. Just do the speech and FOLLOW THE DIRECTION then you will get A. This class is so interesting that we always have perfect attendance. I have accent and used to be afraid of giving speeches, but this class makes me comfortable and confident in doing public speech. Highly Recommend!!!
He's cool, if you show up to every class you will get an A. if you miss 2 or more you will get a B. Its that simple... If you want to learn something don't take this class. If you want to just skim by a class without any worries take this class. He really does not care about homework or test. He just wants to get his point across. Easy A.
Funniest guy I know. I don't know why I am so attracted to this dude haha. His personality is just beyond amazing and he is a genuinely good teacher. HILARIOUS. DO IT.
He is so uncensored! Don't take offense to his strong personality. That's just the way he is. He's a really cool guy. Easy A if you pay attention and follow the directions of the speech. Do that and you're guaranteed to pass. Also, I'm not quite sure why he has a chili pepper for hotness. You'll know what I mean once you see him... Lol
Very easy class. I feel as though I could have learned more about argumentation and debate. His lectures are awesome, mainly due to his crazyhilarious personality. If you are easily offended, do not take him. His jokes are not meant to be taken seriously, but they can be pretty rude. Attendance and being on time are mandatory. Easy assignments.
Funniest and most amazing teacher I have ever met in my entire life. Loves to teach and I seriously had tears in my eyes from laughing in this class. The thing is that he has this amazing teaching method that seems to make everybody want to try in the class. If you're easily offended and can't take jokes well I do not recommend him!
Loved every class session. Felt like a comedy club! I loved his class so much I would hate it when he canceled class. Take him ! You won't regret it
Made speech very fun. About 5-6 speeches but nothing to be afraid of. His lectures are hilarious and he grades very easily. Got an A by just doing the work half-heartedly.
Omg where do i start, this guy is probably the funniest instructor i have every come across. He makes the class fun and exciting. He does make fun of people. But pretty much just show up and pass the class. All you have to do is speak and follow his guide lines. if you follow his guidelines then your golden.
He is probably the best at PCC! Awesome hilarious guy, loved his class. Easy A, I actually enjoyed showing up to class. He lets you turn in the midterm and final as a group! You wont regret taking his class, he's easy but his classes aren't a waste of time he lectures and you will take something away from each lecture!
If you have a sense of humor, he will definitely make you laugh each time you go to class therefore making your day a bit brighter. I took his speech 1 class and I have to say if you don't take him, you will have a huge regret in your life. Anyone who has taken his class knows that he is a legend and remember to abide by his guidelines. :)
This guy should be a stand-up comedian on the side cause he's freakin' hilarious. He loves to pick on people but it's an a good way. Man if only other professors had his personality we would all love college a little bit more. Take him, you won't regret it!
Funny guy. Easy A. No book required. Do what he tells you to do for the speeches and you'll pass. If you're late, you're marked absent. Good class but didn't get much out of it. He cancelled a few times and if you're looking to improve your public speaking skills don't take! He's not serious about the class, he'll make you laugh but that's it.
Funniest Proffesor you'll ever have at PCC! Easy A if you show up and follow his speech guidelines! Go into this class with a sense of humor or else you won't enjoy it! Recommend this guy!
Could you imagine an argumentation class where the teacher literally laughs at your presentation, calls you crazy AND won't even acknowledge all the perfectly credible sources that you've used? Well, it happened, and that's why I feel obligated to say DO NOT take this class! If you think expensive daycare equals college, you deserve this teacher.
An extremely blunt speech professor but he definitely knows what he's doing. He has a very rough sense of humor and critique so sensitive people should not take this class. He barely has any homework but he will pick on the people who don't participate and drop anyone who is late more than 6 times. As long as you show up on time, he's amazing.
Funny guy. Easy A.
He has zero tolerance in late assignments. Even one late assignment can bring you down to a C.
Funny, funny guy. Lectures never took up all of class, we always left 30 min early. Barely any hw, open note/group/take home final and midterm, one in class speech, 2 "papers". Most honest prof at pcc, hilarious, easy to joke with, clear on assignments. easy A if you show up and do the work like he says to. best speech prof at pcc hands down.
Easy assignments, easy tests, easy class.
Probably the easiest speech class at PCC. Speeches are 5 minutes max. If you get offended easily, don't take his class. He's hilarious. I legit cried from laughter on one of the stories he told. He's very clear with instructions and outlines for the speeches. Also lets you use notes for some of them. Time goes by really fast. I loved this class!
You will not regret taking any of his classes. He is hilarious and straight forward. He is a well respected, hilarious professor. He makes class interesting dealing with real life situations. Don't be late and don't use your cell phone.
No homework, but we had give out one speech. He was a picky grader. His midterm was a takehome. Sometimes he can be grumpy, sarcastic, or funny. Easy class to pass if you follow his directions and guidelines. Hates when people interrupt the class leaving when someone is giving a speech.
Attendance matters a lot in this class. His grading criteria is not clear. He does not let you know what you did wrong and expects you to know. He also expects you to entertain him when you go up to give your speech. This is suppose to be one of the easiest class and yet I did better in my stats class. What a joke.
TAKE HIM. hes literally the best professor i have ever had. It is true however, if you get offended or embarrassed easily then you shouldn't take him. He's HILARIOUS. A very enjoyable class for me. Super easy speeches and he lets you out early everyday! when given the diretions for all speeches FOLLOW THEM. thats all he cares about.
I was LITERALLY in the process of screening on RMP for the semester when I remembered I FORGOT TO RATE THIS AMAZING PROFESSOR! I took him at LACC during Fall17 and it was an amazing class. He's kind of a jerk and blunt and he doesn't sugarcoat anything but he's great at what he does! Just pay attention to directions! Do EXACTLY as he says!
Very easy time with his online class, got a A without breaking much of a sweat. Professors that use softchalk lessons are the best. Only got a B once in the whole class, so just know how to format your writing and stick to the topic. When he comments it's snarky, don't let it get to you. Grades fast, and clear scale. Discussions due Thur, not Sat.
His class is easy. He doesn't give too much homework or project. He uses softchalk to teach and all you have to do is just to complete your homework on time and pay attention to what he assigns.
If you have a working brain, you are guaranteed an A; you have to try exceptionally hard to get a B or below. However, do not take lightly of assignments and discussions. Thoroughly complete your work and provide critical thinking. It is obvious, but not many of my classmates have common sense, so do not be like some of my classmates.
Looking for a free class so you can focus on your major and other gen eds? This. Is. It. 1 speech every week or two, just do all of the assignments, try your best, and you'll get an A. Like the other review said, " you have to try exceptionally hard to get a B or below."
such an easy A. took It for the summer term & was a breeze. u have abt 1-2 speeches a week but theyre so easy. typically stuff about ur life or u research a topic YOU know. I was honestly the worst public speaker & got 100% on all speeches. he is very lazy & if ur actually looking to improve ur speech then don't take him. need textbook for midterm
Solid choice for online speech class. Follow the directions and turn assignments in on time and you will get an A. I also learned a lot through the weekly readings in the text book. Took this class in summer (6 weeks) and very manageable. I spent 2-3 hours a week on it. Other reviews said he was rude, I didn't catch that vibe at all.
A great speech class. Just do your work, pay attention to the details, get an easy A.
This was a pretty laid back easy class. It is pretty straight forward and easy to navigate. Any questions were answered and every two weeks, there is a new chapter to do., pretty manageable.
I never felt like I was blatantly having my time and money wasted like this before! All this guy did was clown around and act like his students were an audience for his amateur comedy routine... and he's not even funny. The stuff he says is actually very inappropriate and unprofessional, but I digress. Save your $ & braincells - AVOID HIS CLASS!
I took this class as one of my general education requirements. Just put in the effort, read the textbook for the sections that the homework and assignments are on and you should do fine.
Pretty much everything you read here is correct. Easiest class I've ever taken at PCC so far. Just follow the assignment instructions and complete them on time. Gives short feedback but it helps to listen to his feedback and improve. Take it online and it's a breeze!
Make sure to make eye contact with the camera if you are taking his online course! I got marked down points for lack of eye contact a lot! One other complaint I have is how hard it was to contact Mark. He never replied to my email, but he did fix the assignment I emailed him about a few days later. Good professor overall! His class is a easy pass!
Few discussions, do the recorded speeches which u post on yt, attach link in canvas to turn in. theres a midterm and final but thats ez since u just read tb or read the slides. responds to emails fast. he grades near the end of the deadline. but i can literally finish his entire class in 3 days if all modules werent locked by wk. uses pt system
After reading other comments, it's strange. I got A's in the other three honors classes, but I almost didn't get an A in this class.
You must follow his requirements exactly. But he gave unclear instruction, and is very confused. Especially his speech video assignment.
I took this course as an online course, and the professor is very lenient with the grading but I didn't try in any of my speeches and read off a doc resulting in a mid-A. He's not too accessible outside of class as some of my emails took a week to reach him and for him to reply. Besides that, if you try you could pass this easily.
Do good on the quizzes, can't use chat gpt or google, they give the wrong answer
Very easy speech class that I took online, the only assignments were the speeches with the exception of a few quizzes, which can be easily answered as long as you read the PowerPoint he provided. For the speeches, he gives either a week or two for you to prepare. Some of the criteria for the speeches are unclear though.
Easy online speech class with a lenient professor. Just prepare your speeches, read the slides, and you'll breeze through. unstuck study is a helpful tool for study prep on this one.
very lenient teacher, super easy to pass the class if you get the work done. one speech a week and a reflection afterwards. read this slides and textbook (can be found online) and youre basically good to go.
Professor Whitworth does not interact with students during this course and ignored all of my emails throughout the 6 week course. He also removed all points from an assignment when I had made a mistake on a different one. If you want a professor that cares about his students, do not take his class.
If you take him online prepare for him to take points off over the dumbest things possible.
Easy A but like others said; weird grader and lacks communication (ironic, isn't it?) My advice, make sure your videos are good quality (not grainy or just bad, can be recorded via phone for all he cares) and utilize something like Capcut to adjust volume. He's the only one who will see your recordings asfaik too.
