The professor sends tons of emails so that everyone is on the same page. The homework maybe a lot but it is fun and it basically prepares for the next week.

Up front and impressionable professor. Friendly and well prepared instructor. Knows what he's talking about and inspires his students to grow beyond their wildest desires. Course material is light but requires a lot of time and practice to master. This class will help you over come any fears you may have of public speaking.

Second best professor I have had during all my quarters at Strayer University.
A good professor overall.
Prof. Phillip is a very good and active lecture that makes students understand all concepts of the lecture. So far Ive taken one class with him, and I would be more than happy to attend any of his future classes. Ultimately, I would recommend everyone to take classes with Prof. Phillip, because youll enjoy learning from his knowledge.
Professor Harris taught this course in a manner that was extremely understanding. It proved difficult at times but that was due to my own initial fears. As time went on, and because of the way the class was taught and how Professor had us interact with each other, I not only became comfortable but it also became less difficult.
Professor Harris really gets you to step out of your comfort zone and get in front of the class to give your speech presentation. This is the only way you'll get better, and Professor Harris really helps mold you into a better speaker. I really liked the structure of the class and how he went over assignments prior to having them turned in.
Coming into this class, I was very nervous to speak publicly. Taking this class gave me not only confidence in myself but the ability to correctly outline , prepare and present my speeches effectively. Prof Harris was very patient with me and gave me the tools I needed to succeed in this class.
Professor Philip Harris, is the BEST instructor for COM201. I had a lot of fears about public speaking. The way he presented the information was awesome.

As active as Professor Harris is, he ensured that his students were well prepared while he was away, planned our assignment due dates accordingly and we were able to stay on track according to our quarter schedule.
