He's a great instructor who cares a lot about his students and their success, not only in his class but in their future. He has a lot to teach his students and feels that no question is too stupid. He's kind of intimidating in the beginning but dont get scared it gets much better. He's great.
creepy
best professor by far, a real gentelman, proper and to the point with a good amount of humor to get you by

he's an absolute madman, in a good way. seems like a good guy
He is an amazing teacher!
He's a great Professor who cares a lot about his students and their success. He continues that on past his calss and into there lives and future. HE is one professor that learns your name and never forgets it! He treats you with respect and has a good time with his classes. He can get strick when needed but i have not see that side of him. His class was the best and if I can take him agina I will in a heart beat. the He feels that no question is too stupid to ask and supprts each and every student!
amazing-- the best professor i've had yet.
One of the best classes I have ever taken. He is a wonderful professor. He actually cares about each student as an individual!
Didn't like this class
Awsome!!!!He truly cares about his students education!I'd recomend any one to take his class! One of my best classes I've ever taken. We need a lot more professors like him!!!!
This class was a blast. He teaches with enthusiasm and a sense of humor. He truly cares about his students. He has my recommendation to anyone who asks about him.
This teacher was great, He had me scared at first but once I got to know him he was very interesting and made class fun. I would recommend anyone who needs a speech class to take him.
First class is scarey, but once you get through that - it's AWESOME! He's a professional and very pro-student. He'll help you with anything. His class is very entertaining. Be prepared to laugh. He's an AWESOME instructor.
he is the awesomest prof. i have had so far take this class
He is very concerned for the welfare of his students current and past. I would recommend Prof. Puchot to anyone and would have no problem taking another class with him. He is truly one of BCC's best and the rest of the faculty would be well served to model themselves after this man. One of my top 3 professors at the college.
First day of class is scarey. But once you get to know him, he is a very excellent teacher. I would recommend him to anyone. He helps everyone out when needed and is always answering questions. I would take his class if he was teaching it again.

Professor Puchot was scary and very intimidating at first. i was almost going to drop out but i decided that i was already there so i mine as well stay. I am so glad i did! =)
Had a crazy actor come to class. Was very interesting. Must have cost him a fortune!
HE IS THE BEST! FOUNTAIN OF KNOWLEDGE WHO WILL FIGHT FOR HIS STUDENTS AND LOVES HIS JOB. YOU CAN BE HONEST AND REAL WITH HIM AND HE DOESN'T JUDGE.
Awesome coach, he knows what he is talking about. We won the Regional Championship...can't wait till next year.
I feel personally, he did a excellent job working with the class.
The speeches are in groups so it's really not too bad. The guy is always late to class, which can be irritating, but he's a cool guy. He's pretty intimidating at first, but I think it's just for show. He's always willing to help students, which is awesome. I would take him again.
Awesome guy. He's bold and right to the point. His speech is often too fast, but loud enough even for the people in the back of the room to hear well.
prof is very knowledgeable about his subject and gets his point across to everyone. His jokes aren't the best but he does know how to get and keep your attention. I would denitely take antoher course with him.
I highly recommend this professor to anyone who is interested in taking a speech class.
Professor Puchot is really helpful and willing to make any accomidations for any one who needs it. He is very reasonable with his grading considering the topics he teaches. I definately recommend him to anyone.
He is the best man ever. He has helped me in so many ways. He drives you to what you want to do and makes you believe in yourself. He wants all of his students to be successful and will help them in everyway.Great speech and debate teachers knows almost everything there is to know about everything!!! I wish i could take him to school next year !!
very funny
He was a lot of fun, and made speaking in front of others easier for me.
The professor was very helpful, provided a lot of good feedback, and made the class fairly interesting. I would recommend him to other students considering this class.
keep up the great job professor Puchot!!
I was very nervous at first taking this class, but, Professor Puchot helped the class get comfortable with eachother, which made the class fun and so much easier. I Loved this class, and I would take it all over agian
I put off taking speech until the very end because I had no interest in taking the class. Mr. Puchot is an excellent professor. I learned alot from him and now feel more confident when it comes to public speaking. He is inspiring and does everything he can to help you become more comfortable speaking in public. He really cares about his students.
very understanding towards his students. gives you great feedback for speaking skills. it is a challenging course, but fun and helpful.
Best Class Ever!!Also Best Professor!! He's always there for his students, and if you need more time on a speech he will give it to you! Hes very understanding! Now, that im done with the class I feel confident in speaking infront of a whole class room! I would take it all over again if I could!! =)
Great Teacher! Cares about his students. Would take class again
this guy is the man... the man

he's a great teacher and really cares about how his students do
One of the best classes I've had at BCC.
Interesting Professor! I loved him. He made this class so interesting and worhtwhile. I got more out of this class that I expected. This class will help me become a better speaker in my work in education!
Excellent professor - probably my best yet.
No Comments
This was quite an interesting class. It provides a sort of comical relief to speech.
Very informative and involving class. One of my better class experiences while attending BCC.
Mr. Puchot is by far my favorite teacher. He really cares about his students and it shows. It is not to often a student can say they actually "look forward to going to class" but that is the case with this class. I am now confident about giving a speech and could not have done it without his help. I would highly recommend this class to everyone.
Kept class very interesting. Great teacher and really knows this topic of public speaking. One of the best teachers i've had at BCC. Highly recommended teacher that cares for the students. Class was easy but it is a lot of work!
very nice and accomodating. good speaker. but frankly, in my opinion, full of hot air. loves the sound of his own voice. if you don't believe something he says, look it up cuz he doesn't really know what he's talking about half the time.
Very well spoken and kept class interesting. Do the work and you'll be fine. Gives lots of bonus points opportunities.
Very informative and used lots of excellent real life examples to help us "get" what he was trying to say. His teaching style is tough but very fair and lots of laughs were shared along the way. Found the handouts more helpful than the book. I would definately take his classes again! Didn't get the reason for hostile Q&A's or handshake.
One of my few classes that I enjoyed attending. He makes the class intersting and it easy to see that he enjoys teaching. My favorite part of the class had to be Q&A because of the intensity. But with the diary/journal is this class want my cup of tea I haven't wrote in a "journal" since i seen the cartoon DOUG.
Great intensity from this professor. He keeps you interested and fuels you to want to do well. I enjoyed the class and would take another with this professor anytime.
You know those teachers you see in the movies and you say "wow, I wish I had a teacher like that"??? Well, that's Mr. Puchot. He pushes his students to do their best, but is very supportive at the same time. This was quite possibly the best class i've ever taken. It's too bad there aren't more teachers out there like him...
Great class. As a high school student taking a college class I was skeptical about everything at first but he is a great professor and in the 7 weeks of the class I have learned a great deal about public speaking.
I would definitly recommend him to any student having to take speech 11. Very informative and willing to help. I was glad to have him for a teacher.
Very well informed, great professor. I would remend his class without a doubt. I realy enjoy his class. It was pleasure having him as a professor.
Mr. Puchot is by far one of the best teachers I have ever had. He has challenged me every step of the way, but it was well worth it. He is a teacher that loves what he does and is willing and able to help with whatever your needs are for the class. He has taught me so much about myself and the goals I can accomplish. Thanks for a great class.
he was a good teacher, and he offered help after class. was a lot of help, and i learned a lot from his class.
He is an excellent instructor. He has so much experience in public speaking beyond this class, yet he teaches so well to the level we're at. He is willing to go above and beyond for his students. He challenged us every step of the way, but offered his help in order for us to meet his challenges.
Not an easy A. Fun just the same. Actually learned a thing or two. Would reccomend him.
Professor Raymond Puchot believes in the students and wants them to succeed. He's patient, professional and knowlegeable. The class was well organized. He's one of the few professors with a high caliber. Definitely take this class!

This professor is in love with himself. Literally. Please take anyone else and get an education in speech. This class was a huge waste of time.
This course was fantastic! I felt both challenged and nurtured. The prof was funny, friendly, and FINE.
I do not know how any one could NOT LOVE this guy. His class is VERY informative and he is so FUNNY. I took his class in the summer and I LOVED his style and presence.
this guy even gets famos actors to come to his class. he had a guy from star trak there last year!
amazing, absolutely a great teacher and guy and is always willing to talk to you about school or job related things. More than happy to have you call him if you need assistance.

Great Class!
Very good classes, interesting material, fun and knowledgeble professor

Great project ideas. Gave students confidence.
This "teacher" had absolutey no idea what this course was even about. This course was suppose to be about intercultural speech. I do not think that Puchot has ever taken a class in intercultural speech and is not even bright enough to bring any new information to class. I think that we should all sue the school for wasting our time!
Mr. Puchot is an awsome teacher. he always makes sure you have ample time to complete your asignments while being sure that you enjoy the class.
Good professor, challenging course, helpfull advice.
Puchot is a really an awsome teacher! Really easy to get allong with and funny as hell! TAKE HIS CLASSES!!!!!!!
He's a great teacher and a good man. Plus his class is really easy as long as you're willing to put effort into it.
Awsome Teacher!
Very Direct. Assignments given with ample amount of instruction and time to complete. Genuinely interested in students academic experience and future.
Really good class. Awesome teacher. Definitly learned a lot about doing a good presentation :)
pretty easy class cool guy makes you feel comfortable in class. he will work with you if needed i felt like this semester we ran out of time like there was more to cover but the semester ended. the presentation were pretty simple and if your class is good then he will make the class easier for you.he will extend deadlines and give take home exams.
MR PUCHOT IS A WONDERFUL TEACHER AND HE HELPED ME TO TRY AN OVERCOME MY FEAR OF SPEAKING IN FRONT OF PEOPLE WITH HIWS EXCELLENT TEACHING STYLE THANKYOU MR PUCHOT
great class. best teacher i've had! very funy very intelligent and very interested in his students well being! overcame my fear of public speaking and made many new friends in his class because of his group activities.
Can be fanastic.
Great instructure. You learn how to present a good presentation. You have a great time in his class.
INTELLIGENT-QUICK-FLEXIBLE-DIVERSE & GENEROUS WITH HIS TIME - IF THAT DOESN'T DO IT FOR YOU HOW DOES TAKING A CLASS YOU WILL REALLY ENJOY SOUND? LOTS OF ACTION & INTERACTION - NOT YOUR MOTHER'S SCHOOL MARM
Great professor!!!Easy to understand with a great accent. I REALLY ENJOYED BEING IN HIS CLASS!
This was probably the greatest class I took this semester, I am not the gratest of speakers, but he makes it so fun, and interesting. Love the accents!
Mr. Puchot is an excellent professor. He is extremely dedicated and commited to helping his students succeed. His lectures are enjoyable and his assignments are useful.
Mr.Puchot is a great teacher who knows a lot about speaking.The range of his speaking styles are incredible. He's down to earth and understands students. Very easy to talk to. Teaches a fun class but also challenges you when needed.
Mr. Puchot is a stand up guy and a wonderful professor. If you want to be a better public speaker, take his class. He takes the sting out of it and you learn many tricks also. He is there for the students 110%. You will not regret taking him. I wish I took more classes with him.
i thought he was very good in teaching his class u could understand everything he was saying and every question asked he would answer to a tee and if u needed help he was right there to give u a hand the best way he knew how to
Good teacher, nice guy
I enjoyed this class very much. Mr. P made it fun and interesting. The whole class enjoyed it. It was a great class to grow personally and educational.
Good guy some what helpful says he will help you with alot of things but in the end he just has ynou speak alot to try to overcome verything he said he would help u with
Teacher was very helpful with students who had a fear of public speaking
Was very optimistic. Always helped whenever asked for it. hardly uses text book accept for certain tests. did speeches, nothing else. always group but opportunity for singular presentations. said he was going to teach techniques-he didnt, just threw us up there to get over our fears. but he made it fun and exciting. i would take him again.
i have to say before i started this class i was not sure on how i would like this class. ive always hated public speaking. i would get to nevous, and forget what i was saying after takin him i feel more confidenr as a speaker and hes such a great teacher. if u have any problems or concerns hes right there to help u. not many profesors do that
This class was awesome! I had a great time. I think I learned more in this class than any other!
EXCELLENT TEACHER..LOVE TO HAVE AGAIN
Seems to be hard but not. Doesn't really take attendence. He is easy going and understands his students. Speeches are good. Textbook is never used until the take home mid-term and final has to be done. Can learn something if wanted. But other than that he's a good professor and would take him again.
great professor, loved the class always had a good time one of the greatest speech teachers
Great professor. I really enjoyed this class,and I am a better speaker.
Very good teacher, took a night class and never once felt like falling asleep. DEF take again.
He is always willing to work with you, i had a few complications this semester and he made it very easy for me to work it all out.
Excellent teacher and frind
This professor is dedicated to his profession and his students.
An amazing professor that really cares that his student learn. His classes are not easy per say, but if you do the work and participate you will do great. His enthusiasm and knowledge is contagious as his class quickly becomes something you look forward to attending.
This professor is VERY nice, supportive,and concerned about his students. The best prof at the college. He is VERY cute and should have a lot of HOT ratings ?
Mr.Puchot was wonderful.I wish all teachers were as sweet and motivational. I wish we could keep him in Texas. The students in Mass.are very lucky in particular the women.
Sorry ladies, we're keeping him in Mass. as long as we can!

Mp.Puchot is an excellent professor!!!!! I was very nervous when interviewing for ANY job and now I am confident and assured of my skills. Thank you, Mr.Puchot I wish you were staying.
All I can say is take this instructor if you can. He will not let you off easy but you will learn a tremoundous amount and walk away a stronger and more confident person and speaker. If I had the opportunity to have him as an instructor again I would in a heart beat.
You will leave Professor Puchot's class a better speaker and with a preparedness for the real world. This class was not easy, but I'm glad I took it and I would take recommend him without a doubt. He cares about his students and has alot to offer. In the end, you'll be glad you took him. You will NEVER be bored in his class.
This was my greatest educational experience.The professor was harsh but fair and fun. I have never been challenged like this in ANY class.BCC is VERY fortunate to have him teaching there. I would love to take another class with him in the future.
This guy is wonderful. He really cares about you and will take out the time to help you in any of your classes not just Speech. He tutored me in both Spanish and Math and I got an A in Spanish, a B in Math. I wish he was staying. I know the entire class would LOVE for him to stay.
This was for business communications through Tarleton State in Texas. This was a challenging class, but Mr Puchot kept it interesting. I learned a lot in this class and enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I would recommended Mr Puchot to anyone wanting to learn something and be challenged at the same time.
This guy is a lot of fun. I never missed a class, ( 1st time ever), because i enjoyed his teaching style and would tell anyone that you NEED to have him as a Prof.
We really LUV Mr.Puchot. He is sweet,funny,and Very Professional. My class was truly excellent.
Mr. Puchot made a grand impression on our the class the first night. His class is not easy, not difficult, but challenging. He expects you to perform and be better with each presentation. THIS IS GOOD! It forced me out of my comfort zone and made me strive to be better, appealing to a wider audience. I recommend this class to anyone in business.
i think that this instructor is great becasue he really cares if we suceed and really does his job, and thats rare in any profession
Mr.Puchot will be missed by ny entire class. The Interpersonel course was great because the Prof. made all of us seem special.He was always funny and demanding at the same time. Good Luck,Sir.
I can not see how anyone would not enjoy having Prof.Puchot as a teacher.I had Prof.Puchot in the Spring of 2007 at BCC for a Public Speaking class and he is wonderful. You will work hard but the class is a LOT OF FUN and you will become a much better speaker.I think that other students across the country agree is wicked.
great professor, very helpful,generous, always there for you when your in doubt
Mr. Puchot is a professor unlike any other. He is very professional in his ability to teach, his apperance, and through speaking. This class really has helped me gain confidence in myself and with my speaking. Mr. puchot pushes you very hard because he knows each student has it in them to succeed. Great experience. Great Teacher. Great friend.
This is by far the best professor i have had. He is always there for his students for know matter what the situation is. If you have a problem with any subject or teacher just talk to him. I would deffinetly take another SPH course with him. I would highly recommend him for a teacher to anyone.

Mr. Puchot is an awesome teacher. He expects you to do the work but he is not that hard. Wish all teachers were like this guy. He is very professional and takes job seriously but always willing to help students with anything.
If you do the work the way you are supposed to, you will get a lot out of his class. Pay attention, it's more than just an easy A.
Mr puchot was absolutely AMAZING, if u are uncomfortable speakin in front of crowds you wont be after taking his class. I would love to have more classes with him, he is the best teacher i have ever had
He is awesome, definitely prepares students for public speaking and is passionate about it. He will help you whenever you need it, even after the class is over with anything you ever need.
I had to take this class as part of my major, but I'm so glad to have taken it ,parts have been hard because of my nature but Professor Puchot is a good teacher I know I will come away from this class with a better understanding of how to speak and how to understand and interact in all types of relationships and circumstances.
He is a good teacher. His style is very effective. I am a better speaker because of his class.
He's a nice, cool, upfront Profressor that will help you and want tell a lie we need more professors like him.At first he scared me but turned out to be cool and fun
MR PUCHOT WAS GREAT. VERY MOTIVATIONAL. HE HAS GREAT KNOWLEDGE IN THIS SUBJECT. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF HE HAD MORE CLASSES HERE LOCALLY, I WOULD DEFINATELY SIGN UP FOR THEM!!
coolest teacher ever
I had him in the Fall at the New Bedford Campus and he was great. He made us laugh All the time and made me overcome my fear of Public Speaking. I want to take him for another class this Summer.
I am currently at Bridgewater State and I had Mr.Puchot for two classes last year. I really miss him because he was always there to help any student who needed help.I wish he taught here so that I could take him for some of my upper division courses in communication.He made class fun and was very charming.
I thought he was a great professor he was extremely helpful and he helped me eget over my fear of public speaker. dont let him intimidate you at first he's a great guy and always willing to help his students.
great teacher you do not even realize you are learning
Good overall professor.
Mr. Puchot knows what he's talking about. He gives you ample amounts of time to prepare for your speeches. I would recommend him to anyone.
Excellent instructor. Teachs by having the students participate in diverse programs/ issues related to cultucultural communication. I anjoyed his class a lot. Highly recommended
Professor Puchot is a great teacher. His only concern is his students. Not only does he teach the subject matter well but he will also advocate for you as a student.
Not only would I take a class with him again but I would tell others to as well. Very fair teacher.
Puchot gives us respect and treats us more so like human beings than numbers in a database. He encouraged open-mindedness and didn't spare the hard truth about our job prospects if we failed to heed his advice. He's without a doubt the best teacher I have ever had.
very helpful course. fun and very intersting course. I enjoyed taking the course
I would highly recommmend this teacher. He has great consideration for the well being and progress of his students.
great speech professor, always their to help
Good professor. Easy to deal with.
Proff. Puchot is great and hot!!! I enjoyed his class he is a wonderful teacher and recommend everyone take his class.
very good but be clearer
very intense, yet extremely helpful and understanding. critical, but always focuses on positive. highly recommend th class
Decent teacher. Knows his stuff. Grading...he favors those who can't actually speak, and is harder on those who do well. The harder you try, the harder he grades. HATE the group work, as he grades the entire group, not individually. If you want a class that will help you a little, take him.
This was definitely one if not the best teachers I've ever had. The class is very intense but you definitely learn a lot.He is very helpful and understanding. This class helped a lot with my fear of public speaking.I absolutely enjoyed it and would take other classes with this professor.
dude you are the best if i was staying around i would def. take you class agai just for jun i learned a lot from you and my peers. im def. going to keep in touch with you while im away!! i salute you!
This class is extremely intense, I'm not gonna lie. A lot of people dropped the first week. But if you stick around it is really worth it. He is very demanding but it works out for your benefit. I think the class is very much worth taking. Just be prepared to do alot of work and be critiqued on it.
He is FANTASTIC. MY favorite Prof.ever. He cares about his students and is not here for a pay check. You really need to take him as a professor and he is very cute.
Prof.Puchot is a wonderful lecturer who provides a great deal of information about so many cultures.He expects a lot from his students but is always supportive in and out of class.We all felt that the entire class was important to him.Thank you for such a fun experience.
Professor.Puchot is HOT,Intesense,and the BEST Professor at BCC.I know I can count on him for anything.Thank you for always making me feel important.Much LUV.
Very informative teacher, who is very understanding - just don't abuse his leniency. Gives you many chances to redeem yourself, and always gives every class member their due respect. Very informative, very fun. Take this class if you want to learn what a true college experience is about.
I really do not know what these comments mean. He is not a bright person. You will learn how to fool your way into a profession. He is a waste of time and money. Really, I think that the commonwealth should be paying back the taxpayers for hiring him.
Professor Puchot was wonderful.He explained everything to a tee. I liked that he was so to the point and direct.I wish we could keep him here in Texas.
I had Mr.Puchot for Public Speaking in the Spring and became a much better speaker then I ever dreamed.He almost made me cry several times but he only wanted me to improve.He is demanding and will force you to become a much better student.That is why I am so excited about taking another course with him in the Fall.
I just found out that Mr.Puchot is not at BCC anymore and I really wish he would have stayed. I wanted to take more classes from him and wanted to join the Forensics and Debate Team.He always made me laugh and made me feel confident.BCC will not be the same.
I am a student from Texas and I had Mr.Puchot for Interpersonel Communication this Summer and he was more supportive of me then any other instructor I have ever had. He made speech challenging and fun at the same time. I am glad that he stayed and I know I would be sad too if he would decide to leave. I am very HAPPY that he is here.
He's awesome. Simple as that. You'd be foolish not to take him.
I graduated last year from BCC and recieved an out of state scholarship due to my interaction with Professor.Puchot who was constantly DEMANDING us to perform beyond our own expectations.He was direct with his instructions but always encouraging.He helped pave the way for me to continue my education and I miss him.
TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!! He truely cares about what he does and is interested in helping you. Public speaking is scary and he gives you a constructive environment where you can be critcised and get better. He can be tough, but he is on the student's side more than any other instructor I have had.
A great teacher and friend. I miss him SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH.
I am a student at TSU and I am taking him in a Debate Class and I am having the time of my life.He is very intense but very encouraging. I really feel like I am constantly learning and having fun.We are lucky to have him here and I hope he stays.
I am about to graduate FINALLY but I wish he was here rto give me a HUG.
Mr.Puchot is wicked sweet!!! I recieved acceptance into BU and Mr.Puchot wrote several letters of rec. that opened the door.You are the GREATEST.
I graduated from URI in 2007 and had him for several comm classes (11 and 60)and they were the most challenging courses I had taken within my educational background. He has always kept in touch with me and has written letters of rec. for both college and work.He is the type of educator that makes a difference and I wish that he lived closer.
