Let me be the first to say Dr. Curry is amazing. Don't hesitate, take him! He goes by the syllabus so take a look at how easy going the class is.
TAKE HIM!! I took his online class for speech & loved it. He gives great feedback & isnt strict when it comes to grading. He is very caring and his lectures are interesting! Would take him again in a heartbeat!
Best speech class I've ever taken. His lectures are well made, which makes the writing assignments very easy to understand. He gives constructive feedback and his grading system is laid out exactly the way he grades. I highly recommend him for speech, he doesn't, but he could also teach english classes well.
I took him for Intro to communications and he was amazing! He's hilarious, makes lectures fun, and a moderate amount of work. Just do the work and you'll get an easy A. There's a book assigned towards the end, but it's simple and fun to read. He likes group activities but they're not too much. Highly recommend!!! Great guy too, very passionate.
Great professor! Definitely looks to help all students. His classes usually consist of small lectures and speeches given throughout the semester. He is a really fun professor to have and is not a very tough grader. You will regret taking any other Public Speaking professor!
Doctor Curry is a great teacher. There are no tests and as long as you do the work you'll pass his class. He's great at using real life experiences to teach communication.
Dr. Curry has been by far my favorite professor. I would recommend taking him again 100%. Everyday I actually looked forward to his class.
Dr. Curry was my favorite professor all semester, I really enjoyed his class because he used real life examples to teach. I actually think that I learned more about his personal life than the actual work. As long as you do the work, it is very easy to pass.
He's the best professor/teacher I've had in all my life. Prof. Curry would be my favorite professor in out of all the professors I've ever had.
Doctor Curry is amazing! I encourage anyone and everyone to take his class. He is not your typical everyday professor. He makes class fun, interesting, and you truly learn through every day life examples. I took this class for credit but will take any other classes he offers no doubt!
he is a great professor I would take again does give allot of homework but its not hard just have to do it and overall a great class to take
Dr. Curry was by far the best professor I've ever had! He makes his lectures interesting and is great at keeping someones attention. Show up to class complete the little homework he gives and you'll pass. There is no exams or final!!! The thing I regret most about this class is that it ended. You won't regret it I promise!
Dr. Curry is the best professor I've ever had. BY FAR THE BEST. I usually have problems with online classes, but he makes it so easy that all you have to do are the little essays which should take you 10 minutes. there is no tests or finals. the only "quiz" is on the book, but its open note so ALSO EASY. YOU WON'T REGRET IT PROMISE.
The easiest class I have taken by far. As long as you are doing assignments you will get an A. No need for the audience of 5 as it is in other Lone Star College-Online speech classes. This is literally what the online class should look like. Offers extra credit and let you do the make-up assignments.
I took this class online, minimester in 3 weeks. There were 1-2 lectures that lasted 20 mins each week, & 1 assignment based off of the lectures each week. Super simple and easy grading. I didn't buy the textbook, I'm glad I didn't because we had to buy the access code from the book's website anyway that included the book and was cheaper. No final.
Taking speech with Professor Curry was great. Lectures were easy to follow and homework assignments mostly involved writing one to two pages on the lecture. Easy class!!
Professor Curry definitely cares about his students and designs his online classes accordingly. His lecture videos are very thorough and he has clear guidelines for each assignment. All in all, I would recommend his class to anyone.
Easy A if you do all the work. If you dont show up to class he has the lectures online. 1-2 reflection essays due weekly (really easy), if you take the 8 week class. He doesnt believe in exams! Cares for his students. I would take him again.
Dr. C is an amazing professor! There's a lot of reflections to work for but it's an easy A. His class is double for three weeks. He gives extra opportunities to his students so make sure to email him on time and he will help you out. Take him and you won't regret it.
This is the best professor I've had in my whole college experience. He puts a hundred percent into every lecture and is awesome at explaining difficult topics. He cares about his students and wants nothing but the best! I took his class the second part of the summer semester ( Five and a half weeks). I highly recommend taking his class.
Dr. C is amazing! You wont regret taking his class. Do the homework and youll pass this class.
His online class is awesome! Pretty straightfoward and easy to follow. Very good at giving lectures and he is organized.
Video lectures that are interesting and engaging. Papers are actually journals (content over grammar). He does not believe in tests/exams so grades are the connect activities over the chapters (which you can complete as many times as you want for the grade you want). Made a 100% in his 8 week online class and left feeling like I learned something.
Dr. Curry is probably one of the best professors I have ever had. His online class is organized, his lecture videos are interesting, and assignments are easy! Just pay attention and make sure you start on assignments on time. Take him, you won't regret it!
By far my favorite professor I have ever taken!! I took him online for an 8-week class during Spring and he cut the course work in half, making sure you're learning the most important topics in the course. No textbook needed. 100% recommend taking him in person or online!!
Dr. Curry is by far the best professor I have ever taken. He is kind, funny, and cares about his students. His style of teaching is different from your usual speech teacher because there are no tests given. You have weekly reflections over what was discussed in class and online connect assignments which are super easy. You won't regret taking him.
Professor Curry is amazing. I took his 8 week online SPCH-1311 course. Do not waste money on a textbook, it is all online and super easy. His lectures are fun and very interesting, he wants you have enjoy what you learn. No Exams, he is more concerned with you focusing on the material and obtaining it rather than worrying about passing a test.
Best Teacher.
Professor Curry is one of the best teachers I have taken so far. Even though I took his class online I wish I could have taken it in person. He is hilarious, and gives good feedback. He makes the class easy and fun.
I highly recommend taking Professor Curry if you need a speech credit.
He was a great professor, very easy to pass. There are a lot of papers to write but they are not lengthy or difficult at all. He lets you write in first person and does not care about formatting. Definitely recommend him!
Dr. Curry is a wonderful professor. He truly cares about the success of his students. He is accessible outside of class and is always helpful when needed. I definitely recommend him to anyone thinking about taking his class.
I took his online synchronous class during the COVID-19 lock-down. The class consisted of 2 weekly lectures via Webex in place of the in-person lectures, each with a corresponding short paper or textbook chapter to complete. The assignments were simple to follow and really made you think about what you learned. Overall a great professor.
He is the best teacher , he always answer your questions and help you on everything. Take his class you will not regret it I promised.
He truly cares about his student's success. If you just watch the lectures and do the work he assigns, it is totally likely to pass with an A. Class was very well organized and he answered questions almost immediately.
Dr. Curry is makes his lectures very engaging. His lectures are very to the point. Many opportunities for extra credit.
I took this professor based on the ratings here and I am not disappointed at all. The class is very essay going and he makes sure we understand everything. He had video lectures that helped a lot.
This class was very organized and he followed the syllabus. I loved that even though it was an online class he still provided recorded lectures! He gave clear instructions on what he expected on his assignments. He also gave amazing feedback! I loved taking this class with Professor Curry. If you have the chance to take him, TAKE HIM!
Take Dr Curry is you need a speech class and you see him teaching it. He makes the lectures fun and you can tell he really cares about his student's success. Don't hesitate to take his online class, it is enjoyable and not difficult to get through if you put in the work.
He was easy he gave a video and then he gave a lecture but it was not hard and you did not had to buy the textbook because you only had to buy it online.
Professor Curry's course is great. He gives you a checklist every week which makes it easy to follow his course and turn in assignments on time. As long as you do the work you will pass.
I took Dr. Curry for an 8-week hybrid class that got coverted to completly online. He cares for all his students and is willing to take the time to help. His lectures are very informative and gives real world examples. Grades are up pretty fast, so you know where you stand throughtout the course. Midterm and final are not required for this class.
I loved Dr. C's class! It started off as a hybrid, but was forced into just online. But, from my view, it didn't seem like a problem for Dr. C! His lectures are organized and clear, and he was kind enough to have prerecorded lectures for us! He also gave great feedback on reflection assignments I genuinely liked doing! I would 100% take it again!
He is a good professor. He is passionate about the material and teaching it to his students. I recommend taking his class.
You will not regret him! I took him for Intro to Communications and it was easily the best class. I learned so much about myself and his lectures and assignments are not even hard! I assure it is one of the greatest classes.
Dr. Curry is an awesome professor, his class is 100% online and easy to maneuver. He always has great feedback to any assignments submitted. Just do you work, watch his lectures and you'll pass!
Amazing professor, easy interested assignments and lectures and always gives good feedback. Definitely recommend his online class won't regret it.
Professor Curry is a great instructor. He is clear on what he wants you to get done and answers any questions you have for him. He is respectful as well and is actually interested in your participation.
I originally signed up for an in-person 8-week lecture but changed to a roughly 6-week online class. As someone who struggles with online classes, I couldn't have been stuck with a better professor.
Professor Curry gives extra credit opportunities to raise your grade. The Learn Smart Connect assignments were easy to get an A. Other assignments like discussion or reflections were not hard to do. If you don't like to make a presentation video, you should take Professor Curry because he doesn't require you to do Presentation video.
Dr . Richard Curry is easy. I took the 8 -weeks online course. No quizzes. no test, no final. 2 lecture videos for each week and some skills assignment. Easy to get straight A.
An amazing professor, he responds quickly and is very knowledgeable about communication. He makes assignments interesting and unique, so you are able to have fun with it, not struggle with the assignments. There are no tests or quizzes, just writing assignments and textbook questions. Overall great class and professor! Take his class!!
I took his 3wk class online and it was GREAT! I'm not a big fan of online classes so I'm glad I chose Dr. Curry! He provides lecture videos which are not boring at all and opens up all assignments at the beginning of the week which is nice if you want to work ahead. You can tell that he wants his students to succeed. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!!
A very good teacher! I took him fully online for a 3 week mini semester and it was a good decision. You had assignments everyday but they were VERY easy
I took Dr. C for a 3 week mini. I had never taken a mini before and didn't know what to expect. Dr. C clearly lays out everything that is expected in class. The amount of work is manageable and not overwhelming. I learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed the class. I would take Dr. C again in a heartbeat!
I was dreading to take speech class but Professor Curry made it so interesting it ended up being a class I actually enjoy! I took him for the 3-week mini and he made it really simple since his assignments were organized very well. I definitely recommend taking him and I wish he taught other subjects!!
Greta professor! There are a lot of assignments bc its a 3 week mini but they are not hard!
I took the three-week online course and he helps you manage all the assignments by creating everyday checklists. When he grades your reflections he gives you honest individual feedback and as long as you answer all the questions you will get a 100.
This class is very interesting. The lessons and instructions are very clear and easy.
I took this class as a 3-week minimester so of course there was a lot of work but it was very doable. If you keep up with the work and actually do what is recommended to each day you wont get behind.
Lessons are entertaining and assignments are simple. The workload is extremely manageable and outlined in daily checklist. He provides helpful feedback on assignments.
I took this course during the 3 week minimester and I am thankful for a great professor who used a checklist. If you take the time to do your homework, pay attention and reflect on yourself that you will have no problem passing this class. I enjoyed this class and I would have loved to sit in his class room during his lectures, great speaker !
I took this class online, minimester in 3 weeks. The weekly lectures were short and to the point. The reflection assignments were simple and easy! By far this has been my favorite online class. Dr. C really cares about his students, he's accessible and responds quickly. If you do the work according to the directions your gonna do well.
Dr. Curry is an amazing professor, I took a summer mini master. Everyday was a checklist, but nothing was due until Sunday night, then the next week opened up. Lectures were 20-30 minutes followed by an assignment and it was very easy to maneuver for an online class. I'm normally very lazy and loved doing his class. maintained an a+.
Loved Prof. Curry! He creates his assignments as a checklist which are really easy to do. The instructions are clear! Reflections are also very easy to write as you write about yourself. The lectures are short and interesting. He responds to emails quickly! Take him please you won't regret it.
Loved his class it was super easy!! He has no tests, just reflection papers that need to be done. Its a super fast 3 weeks class. He also grades easy. The books is mandatory but it's the online one. WOULD RECOMMEND 10/10
Dr. C is great! Took his online 3week course and he is very organized, which made it a lot easier to complete the work. He was also quick to respond when I had a question. I would definitely recommend taking his class!
Dr. Curry is Such a great Professor, he outlines things that are due daily but everything is officially due every Sunday, his lectures are informing yet lighthearted so it's easier to grasp the given information, if you are wondering who to take for your speech class i would definitely recommend talking him over anyone, and you will not regret it.
I took this class online, as a minimester course (3 weeks). He is very clear with his instructions, as well as easy to contact. There are multiple reflections to do throughout the week, no tests. There is just online textbook work, that's pretty easy. Also isn't a hard grader at all, his video lectures are mostly short and entertaining.
At first I was nervous taking a 3 week mini-semester class, but Dr.C made it super helpful by setting up a daily checklist for assignments to be due in a timely manner. Don't Procrastinate. The lectures he posts online are helpful in understanding the material and he relates it to real life situations. Overall I enjoyed this class!!
Dr.C made My intro to comm class very enjoyable. He is funny and makes the material relatable. Assignments and lectures are actually fun in this class. I took the 3 wk mini semester and Dr. C made the class manageable by setting up a daily checklist of assignments for each week. It helped to be on track and to not procrastinate. I recommend Dr.C !!
Professor Curry is an amazing Teacher he gives you enough time to complete all of the assignments that week. He also grades fairly. As long as you put effort into the assignments you should get a good grade. I highly recommend you take him if you need a speech class.
Great professor, I took him for a may-minimester. He requires a one page reflection most days, which is not bad at all. Very quick to respond and feel like I am actually leaving the class knowing something. Caring, informative and kind.
It's very straight forward what is expected from you in class. He follows the schedule so you have plenty of time to finish everything, and he grades fairly. If you have any questions he is always available in will get back to you very quickly.
Took his class in a three week mini online class and it was such a great and easy class. Daily reflections with lectures and book work but as long as you do the assignments and stay on top of everything, you will pass.
3wk course. The professor is very polite. reflection essays for the lectures and online connect hw . As long as you are willing to work, you will pass. Because of the spring classes extension due to COVID-19, I had some issues with turning in my works, and the professor was trying to work with me, but I still don't know my grade yet.
I took summer 6 week online class. Loved his class. Dr.C video lectures are amazing. Text book is required to complete the assignments. He is very organized and has checklist so there is no way you can miss your work. Dr.C is very prompt in responding back emails.
Curry is a fantastic professor. The weekly assignments are easy and straightforward. You write a lot in this class, but they're reflections, so they're easy to do. The lectures he provides are great, and he makes them relatable.
I took Interpersonal Comm for a 6 wk online class and LOVED it! I kept expecting a test, but none! It was read chapter, answer questions, watch short video of CH, write a reflection (like a journal entry). It was super easy to understand and manage. Dr. Curry's class actually makes me want to minor in Interpersonal Comm like my brother did!! :)
I liked Prof Curry. He made the class easy to follow. I took the 6 week course and it wasn't a crazy amount of work at all. You just need to stay on top of the online completion-grade textbook questions and record your speeches on time. You have to get the online textbook because you have to do the questions.
Dr. Curry is a great professor, especially with online classes. If you're having trouble, reach out to him and he will help you out I promise. Take time to read the book because the assignments will be easy A's and practice your speeches as much as possible because it really does make a difference in your grades. DON'T PROCRASTINATE!!
I took this 6 week summer session and Dr. Curry is an excellent professor. There are a lot of assignments and participation, but it isn't hard at all. He gives excellent feedback on each speech and you will definitely improve your speech skills by the end.
He was a cool professor, read the lectures and watch his videos, you are sure to do great. I would take him 100% again if i could.
Good teacher, easy class, easy A.
I took speech as a required course, but ended up learned a lot of things. There were no test, only lectures and interactive quizzes on connect. He wan't a tough grader at all I made a 100. His lectures are great & inspirational. He didn't respond too fast to emails, but that was the only thing issue I had in the class. Take him you won't regret it!
I took this class in summer 2 online and it was super easy. There is kinda a lot of work weekly but it is not too difficult. Usually one to two 1.5 page papers, connect questions over the chapter, and a lecture. Do the work and you will get an A.
Great teacher! Took this class for the 6-week summer session. I thought it was going to be difficult in such a short time. All his lectures are very good and he lets you know what he wants from you very clearly. There are 4 speeches and as long as you follow the requirements you'll get a good grade. Great Class!
Well, the only comment I have is that he copy and pastes feedback for many assignments.. I feel like feedback is supposed to be student-specific.
I enjoyred Dr. Curry's class and learned alot from his online lectures. He is very nice and accommodating. There are no tests, but there is a lot of busywork. The work isn't hard and he is an easy grader, but you do have quite a few assignments each week. To be fair, this was a 6-week course.
He is such a great caring teacher. He is very specific with his instructions. He is very clear and understanding. His lectures are so interesting and cool. I learned to many cool new things, and very nice tips to use in my everyday life. He is the best teacher, you won't be dissapointed.
Professor Curry was the best online professor i've had, not only because he communicated quickly and positively, but his class was very organized. Genuinely cares about the class. Answers emails quick. Utilizes d2l very well. I've been taking online for a year and I wish he was my prof for all of my classes!
Other than having to complete textbook chapters online through Connect, the class is super fun. No test but you have to write reflections, no citations and you are just writing about what you think about the prompt. Funny, gives good feedback and seems to care about you getting good grades!
I took Dr. Currys 6 week minimester. He breaks down the weeks schedule to a daily checklist which makes it super easy to keep up with the work. It overall looks like a lot of things to do but most are actually really simple things like watching a video. You do a speech each week and he is gentle but honest with his feedback. An easy and fun A.
Professor Curry was the best online professor I've had, He is very specific with his instructions. He is very clear and understanding.
Dr. Curry was the best! Although I took this class online (6 weeks) it was very well thought out. Nothing too crazy. His lectures are very interesting and the reflections helped a lot with understanding more. He truly engages with his students. Definitely pick him if you take this class in the future! You will not regret it (:
Dr. Curry is a very good professor. I took his class as a 6 week class and while it was tough, it wasn't anything crazy. I very much enjoyed his personal reflections and overall it was better than what I thought it would be. Just be sure to do your work and you will be fine.
I took this course as a 6week summer session. Participation does matter and you will need to use connect learning (buy the accesscode). Dr. C was amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed his lectures. His grading is very straightforward and he makes in known in the syllabus what his expectations are. I would definitely take his course again!
I took this class for transfer credit and it was the best decision! I loved the lectures! The assignments were enjoyable and not difficult. You need to buy the Connect and do the activities and reflections for an easy A. I gained a lot from this class and would highly recommend taking him in the summer. Put in the effort, and he will grade fairly.
Took his class as a 6 week course and it was so easy! He had clear instructions on what to do each week and how he wanted it to be done. There was 2 reflections each week as well as 2 chapter completions. Super easy to do! ** Don't buy the book before class starts. He has a specific link for the textbook because he does assignments based on it
Well organized, easy class. Took this course online and what he expected from you was clear and easy. Not tough on you, he understands that you can't become a pro in 6 weeks.
I highly recommend for you to take him, Dr. Curry is really nice and helps you a lot, all you need to do is the work assigned and if you have trouble he will be there to assist and help you. He is by all one of the best professors I have ever had and if I could have him as one again I wouldn't hesitate to choose him.
He is an amazing speech professor! I honestly loved his class and how it was manageable for a 6-week course. I work part-time and was able to keep up with the material. He is excellent when it comes to his students because if you have a question or concern, he is great about getting back with you. His lectures are awesome. Work is straightforward.
Dr. Curry is an amazing Instructor. He explains things well, as in clearly to the point where you would not need to ask additional questions. His class is pretty easy if you ACTUALLY DO THE WORK. We had to use the McGraw Hill textbook and that was basically our homework. His feedback is also amazing and I look forward to seeing where I can improve.
I took Professor Curry for SPCH1311 during the summer, he's easy-going and cares about his students, I would take him again! I took the 6wk course online, during that time we went through 2-3 chapters a week with each chapter having 1-3 assignments. Most of the assignment were textbook questions, discussion post, and/or a short reflection paper.
This class is very easy! Id definitely take it again, not much is expected to do. Work is given weekly and its mostly just a video and reflections about it.
I took his 6 week online class summer 2020. This class is pretty doable and fun. He gives very detailed feedback on each assignment which is very helpful if you want to be a better communicator. I would take his class again if I can.
I took Dr. Currys 6 week summer semester and he is a great teacher. There are 4 speeches that are due on time. Each week he posts a list that says what is expected in that week. He gives great feedback when he grades your speeches which the feedback is really helpful. There are some discussions here and there that you participate in.
Dr. Curry is a great professor, his lectures are amazing. I took his online summer mini mester and truly enjoyed it. His workload is doable, and he grades and gives you feedback in a timely manner. I would take him again!
I took Dr. Currys summer 6-week SPCH 1311 course and it was comprised of weekly reflections on his video lectures, fun personality assessments online, and a couple discussions post. Grades leniently and gives good feedback. One of the best professors I have ever taken.
I really enjoyed this class. From the first day, it was clear to me that Professor Curry cares about this class and delivering a meaningful education to his students. Easy work, though some of the textbook chapters felt long to me. Would definitely recommend!
Dr. Curry was great! I took his 6 week summer, and was scared at first but he made the class quite easier and enjoyable. There 4 speeches, and he gives really good feedback. He emails back in a timely manner, and truly cares for his students.
Hello, my name is Ashley Otoya! During COVID-19, I realized I hate online but his class was actually easy for me. He posts online lectures that are funny and easy to follow, and Professor Curry responds fast to emails (even last-minute ones). I took his summer class (5week course) and I managed to get an easy A. Love this professor!
Dr. C is an outstanding professor! He is very detailed and well organized. The workload is somewhat heavy, but not at all hard, but you have to do the work. I'm thankful I found him during this time of so much uncertainty with Covid-19, because his teaching style made it easier to cope and handle taking a class during this horrible pandemic.
One of the most organized professors, Dr. C is a true gem! I took him Summer Session II 2020 and it has been a fun learning experience considering all the drama happening in the world today. The class is not hard, but it requires your attention and strong work ethic to keep up and pass; all weekly assignments are due at the end of each week.
I took this class for 6 weeks. Believe me, his lectures are amazing. No exams. There are chances for extra credit. There are some writings but they help you a lot. Overall, it's a great class.
Took Dr. Curry online class in the summer. Awesome Teacher. Each week you have assignments due, nothing to heavy. Available if you have any questions about the assignments.
I took Dr. Curry's 6 week course over the summer. I was a bit nervous to take an online speech course, but Dr. Curry was so organized and his lectures were amazing that it made this class easy to follow. You will not regret taking his online class.
I took Dr. Curry for a online summer course he is very well organized with assignments and gives helpful feedback on your speeches. You have quizzes and a speech every week but nothing difficult. I would definitely take his class again if I had to.
I took Dr. Richard Currys class during the summer of 2020 even with the whole COVID-19 situation it was actually not that bad. I was very nervous starting classes online due to the fact that I'm more of a visual learner. Although this was an online class and it was easy. You must 100% NEED to PARTICIPATE if you want to pass.
One of the best professors I have had. He answers questions and makes his assignments clear. He gives good feedback on assignments and grades them in a timely manner. Overall, great professor 10/10 recommend taking his class. This was also my first summer class and he didn't make it stressful
I am very glad I took this class with this professor. There's plenty of assignments but they're incredibly easy and you learn things about yourself apart from what public speaking entails. Super stress free, no tests, and I actually benefited from this class. 10/10 would take it again.
This was my first online class I thought it was going to be hard when I first signed up but man he made it so easy his assignment are a summary of his lecture and smart book quizzes great he is the best way to boost your gpa

Prof. Curry is a solid choice for a well rounded online speech class. Easy and straight forward assignments. He gives excellent feedback so you can improve in your speeches. Just take him.
One of the easiest online class I have ever taken, every instruction was simple and clear.
My favorite class I have taken so far. I normally do not like the summer classes but I found this class interesting and learned concepts I can actually use. I really enjoyed Dr. Curry's lectures and it helped me understand the material better. Weekly reflections and chapter practice questions. You won't be disappointed.
one of the best professors for speech. easy class, very organized.
Professor Curry is an amazing professor. He give you the opportunity to take what your learning and apply it to real life. He puts the work into checklists which helps keep everyone organized. Hes again an amazing professor and gives great timely feedback.
Highly recommend Professor Curry, lectures are very entertaining and educational. Assignments are very easy to do. You will do 1-2 reflections every week (easy) and connect assignments which are also easy. He gives feedback if you ask for it and grades quick.
I took his SPECH-1311 6 week course, I missed and assignment and by the next week he had reached out to make sure everything was going ok. He wants his students to learn and to pass which is refreshing. I would take this professor again in a heart beat.
Took an 8-week class. We were required to write one to two papers every week and complete multiple McGraw-Hill chapter work too. It sounds like a lot, but it's very doable. He gives excellent feedback on the writings, better than any professor I've ever taken the past two years. He is not for everyone, but most people should be able to get an A.
He is an amazing professor, has great lectures, there are 1-2 reflections per week but not hard at all, I would take this professor if I had to.
I took this for an 8 week online class. Do the work and you will get an easy A. This class was not hard at all.
Professor curry was an amazing professor, he taught the key points of how to communicate with others and gain confidence in the outside world. You should definitely take Dr Curry! you wont regret it!
I took his class during the 8-weeks mini-semester and I could not ask for a better Speech professor other than him. All of your work is due on Sunday at 11:59 for every week. Do his work and login into his classroom every day and you would be just fine. There should be no reason for you to email him whatsoever, but he has his email there.
Professor Curry is one of the nicest Professors I have had and thankfully we only had a quick intro video and another video to present to the class I didnt have to continue to make speeches which Im so thankful for I am not well with publicly speaking but thanks to Dr. Curry I do feel more comfortable with it. His assignments are not hard at all!
Professor Curry is a great professor and I highly recommend for any upcoming students to take his speech course, if they want a great experience.
I find this course very fun and easy to take! the professor make the class very clear and simple for all of his students! FYI, there isn't any test.... (might be different for different class).
I took this class expecting it will be HARD but Dr. Curry made it so enjoyable and doable.
Dope teacher and his class is useful in the real world
His lectures are very interesting and they get straight to the point. the work isnt hard either.
I took his class this fall semester and it was the best. You have quite a bit of reflections for the class but there really simple to do. Plus there isn't any specific structure that was required. There were also learnsmarts due each week and they were super easy to complete the book really helps. Great class definitely recommend him!!
He is a great professor. The work is simple but you learn a lot from them. Its an easy A class, just do your work.
I took his class this fall online. It was easy but educational. He is very nice and an easy grader. Do your work, pay attention and you'll pass with an A.
I am currently taking this class online for this Fall 2020 term, and the professor posts amazing and engaging lecture videos and is caring about his students. It is an awesome class, I highly recommend taking this professor.
Take his class SPCH 1321 this fall. His class is well organized and not really difficult. A 8 week course is pretty relaxed, which does not require to spend really much of time on the weekly assignment.
Great professor, the class is not heavy at all. Very easy to contact for any information or help, lectures were very interesting and funny at times with the clips he would add (one was from The Office). We did have to record 2 videos which I was very nervous about but actually really enjoyed seeing the rest of my classmates.
I have taken Prof Curry for his SPCH 1311 & 1321 courses. Both have the exact same layout with different content. I took 1311 as a requirement, but 1321 was simply because I enjoyed the way he taught. There's no final, extra credit, and memes in the lecture vids!! 10/10, would take a third time if I could. Favorite college professor so far!
Prof. Curry is a great professor! He follows the syllabus, grades work in a timely manner, gives great feedback, and also allows for extra credit. Took his 8-week mini mester online and I would definitely recommend him for anyone taking speech.
Dr Curry puts effort into his work, and it showed in all his video lectures. I took the online 8-week class and everything was smooth and simple. A couple papers to write but nothing heavy, do your work and earn an easy A.
Professor curry was a great instructor as I took this class online. Being in these tough times I had no choice but to do online and Im glad I chose professor curry. Easy navigation course, clear grading criteria, and easy work. Was skeptical about taking an 8 week but it was worth it. Just do all your work!
I took Prof Curry for an 8 week online SPCH 1321. He has clear grading criteria and his video lecture were very informative. There are some essays but everything is explanied so well it becomes easier and he gives very good feedback as well. Other than that the homework is simple to do. Overall he is a great professor.
He is good at lectures and the reflections help you learn about the material.
Amazing teacher, engaging with the students and always available for help, weekly reflections but they aren't hard to do.
PROFESSOR DR. CURRY IS AN AWESOME INSTRUCTOR. HIS LECTURES ARE ORGANIZED AND SIMPLE. IF YOU DO THE WORK IT WILL BE AN EASY "A". TAKE HIM YOU WONT REGRET HIM AT ALL.
During these tough pandemic times and as well as having to take the class as an online course has always given me such anxiety. However, Professor Curry has really made the course simple and easy. Just put in the effort as you should, and then you will be fine. I enjoyed taking this class and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING HIS CLASS!!!!YOUWILLNOTREGRET!
was very hesitant on taking this class being solely online but Dr. C made this experience completely possible. Covid has pushed everyone in the direction of online courses but Dr. C is one of the best professors I have ever had even if it was strictly through online.
Dr. Curry is an excellent professor and has really structured this public communication class in a very organized way in able for us to understand virtually, especially during hard times like these. I would recommend him to any student who is interested in taking a speech class or anything having to do with communications.
Dr. Curry gives one lecture a week and usually gives 1 to assignments based on the lecture. He gives great feedback and he is always available he responds to emails usually within the hour. There are no test but he doesnt not take late assignments. I highly recommend taking this class.
I was a bit hesitant on taking an online speech class but this has been one of my favorite classes! I am extremely shy but Dr. Curry made me feel extremely comfortable in this speech class. He has one lecture every week and two to four assignments all due by the end of the week.
One of the best out there! He keeps the class fun and interesting, even if it's an online course! The online textbook is easy to use, it highlights what you need to know for the quizzes which is helpful. 45 min video lectures once a week and a 1 1/2 page reflection to go along. Grades come back quickly and he leaves great feedback.
Dr. Curry is such a great professor and far from boring. He cares about teaching and the students. I sincerely enjoyed the class since I found the material interesting and engaging. I enjoyed doing the reflection assignments. The amount of homework he assigns is not overwhelming and manageable. Take his class!
Very clear and organized work! The syllabus was very accurate and contained all the work. Dr. Curry is very respectful and understanding. Overall his class was a very good experience. Easily one of the best professors I've had to date!
Dr. Curry's lecture videos used real life examples therefore making the material easier to understand. The assignments that were assigned would incorporate the material that you were learning but would make you think outside the box. This class definitely exceeded my expectations especially during this whole COVID situation.
Dr. Curry is such a kind man. He really wants his students to use the tools and skills learned throughout the class to help them in the future. His lectures are humorous and knowledgeable. This class was one of the best classes I have taken at Lonestar. The course focuses on you and what you can do better in the future!
FULLY ONLINE, GOOD VIDEO LECTURES, YOU LEARN WITHOUT STRESSING ABOUT PASSING OR NOT BECAUSE HE MAKES IT EASY ENOUGH. IT MAKES YOU WANT TO DO THE WORK, QUICK TO GIVE GRADES BACK, YOU DO NEED THE BOOK, NO TESTS ONLY BOOK ASSESSMENTS 2/3 VIDEOS ALL OTHER WORK IS TURNED INTO HIM. NO DISCUSSION BOARDS.
I really enjoyed this class. He was an easy grader and the work itself wasn't too heavy. The lectures were also really educational and can be applied to real life situation.
you should take this SPCH 1311 class if you want to be A, the online class is easy when all exercises are arranged by week, very neat
Amazing speech professor! Gives good feedback in your work and also gives educational lectures. Recommend taking this class!
I would highly recommend this course! To be honest I was not looking forward to taking any form of speech, communications is not a strong point for me and I have a fear of public speaking. Dr. Curry changed that for me, I feel that I learned so much from him, he is very organized, responsive, and his lectures are interesting.
Prof Curry's SPCH 1321 Class was a well laid out, easy to complete class. The assignments are very straight forward. I was able to complete my week of assignments in 3-4 hours time. The lectures are great and I was able to apply a lot of the curriculum in my immediate job. Uses Connect for assignments, so I only paid for the online access. Enjoyed!
Professor Curry is such a great professor. His lectures are very interesting he uses Mcgraw Hill (not hard to do). You do have weekly small personal discussions but not anything you cant handle. He has a lot of videos and short readings that help understand good forms of communication. TAKE HIM!
Every assignment was thought provoking and really made you think about what you were writing for the reflections which made it enjoyable to do the work
Very good professor! Each assignment made you think more and more.
Does a really good job explaining and answering any questions you may have. Really good teacher that doesn't overload you with homework and they are pretty easy.
He's a great professor. I'll highly recommend this class. You only need to do the reflection and the Mcgraw Hill very simple just need to finish it and you'll get the grade. His grade is very easy to get as long as you do your work.
His class outline was very organized and very easy to follow. Prof. C is a very caring and straight forward professor, and he is not complicated at all.
Take him! I am finishing with a 100 over the whole class online. There are NO exams, there are reading assignment though connect, they are pretty simple. The lectures are interesting and not boring. You have 1-2 summaries a week to write. they are about a page each but they are all mostly about your opinion on that weeks topic. Overall easy A.
PLEASE take Dr. Curry, he is one of the best professors I've had at Lone Star. He is very clear and organized with his instructions. He assigns a weekly reading assignment and a reflection you write. I was never overwhelmed with the homework given. As long as you do the work he gives, you will leave with an A in the class.
If you apply yourself and do the assignments you will pass. He gives really good feedback and great lessons of how you will apply these new skills in the real world.
Very easy class with weekly reflections and connect assignments. He is very knowledgeable about what he does, and the lectures he has are straightforward to follow and interesting. If you are looking to take speech, this will be your best choice.
Dr. Curry, unlike some professors in my past experiences, care about whether you are understanding the content. He is very understanding and as long as he keeps that up, he will have dedicated and motivated students. The work is very easy and helps the students engage in the course on a personal level.
Great course, provides extra credit, and overall awesome professor
Doctor Curry was an amazing professor! Understanding, easy to contact, and cared about his students. He made this online class enjoyable and not boring. Assignments were easy! Simply do the work and you will have no problem getting a good grade. I recommend Dr. C for Speech 1311. 10/10
Dr. Curry is an amazing professor, I enjoyed his class and was fairly easy as long as you keep track of all of the assignments and homework. The assignments were not hard at all and were actually very interesting to complete. I'm very happy that I took this class not only because it was easy but because Dr. Curry gave amazing lectures.
Do not miss the opportunity to take Professor Curry's class. If you are worried about public speaking he is very good at putting your fears to rest.
a great professor who truly cares about his students and is passionate about what he teaches. loved his 8 week course.
Speech was a class I was dreading but Dr. C kept the topics interesting and really did make you think about things you normally wouldn't. If you put in the effort to read the chapters and watch his videos, the class is informative and he makes it fun! Would definitely take another class with Dr. C again!
Absolutely loved Dr. Currys class! Such nice lectures, definitely helpful and useful in every day life. He makes the class great and learnable! Textbook reading is a must if you want to make the assignments easier on yourself .
This class was an easy A. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND DR. CURRY, things to take into account ,textbook purchase is necessary, there is ample time to complete assignments so no excuse for late work. Overall the class was great !
I highly recommend Dr. Curry! The curriculum and his teachings can be applied to everyday personal and professional communications. His guidance, instructions and feedback for assignments are very clear. This was a very good class and I'm very happy to have had Dr. Curry as my instructor. I learned a lot about myself and communications with others.
The textbook assignments are easy and stay focus on what you need to know, they are quite a lots for me. The weekly assignment are writing your opinion and reflection about the topic. It will be easy A if you spend time to do them.
I thoroughly enjoyed the class and it was not difficult at all as long as you did the checklist. I took the 8 week course so everything was due each sunday by 1159 and he actually gave personalized evaluation for each assignment submitted
Professor Curry really had this course organized. His lecture were interesting and inspiring. The assignments are minimum length of a paper so its important to stay on top of the weekly assignments. Took an 8 week and it is highly attainable. Please take his course you wont regret it.
You can tell Professor Curry takes pride in his classes, he is very well-organized and clearly outlines his expectations of you. Fair workload with personalized responses to assignments. Took an 8 week online class. Additional purchase of McGraw-Hill ebook connect access required. Would recommend
Honestly this was one of the best classes and Professors ive had. It was an easy A to get in the class. He is very specific on what he needs and grades everything on time.
Professor Curry was the best that I have taken so far out of these online classes, his lectures are really interesting and worth watching. Taking his class really has helped me improve my speaking skills and become a better communicator when talking to different people. TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! I cannot stress this enough he is awesome!!
Dr. Curry is by far one of the best professors I've had. His lectures are amazing and extremely interesting, he's clear when communicating his expectations for assignments, and he shows he truly cares about his students' success. I recommend this course to anyone and I'm definitely glad I took his class.
Great professor, organize with the lecture and grades. Make the lecture reflect on you own life and how to become a better person and speaker. Easy to follow along on the lecture and be ready to do reflection on what you learn and how would you apply it on you daily life.
I took him during the winter mini mester and all I can say is nothing but good things about this class. His homework assignments were clear and simple to do. There is allot of writing involved due to the type of class it is, but he is a fair grader. The lectures were helpful & not long. I would definitely recommend taking his class.
Interesting lectures and course. Dr. C. responds quickly to questions. Some assignments may emotionally trigger students. Definitely recommend for anyone who struggles with social anxiety, because the textbook and lectures cover a lot of interesting information that would even be helpful for teenagers (have your children watch with you!).
I took this class as a winter online mini-semester. So I came in prepare that there was going to be a lot to be done. The class is easy if you are ready to do the work. Yes there was a lot to do, but manageable if you are willing to put in the time. Will take again.
I took his 3 week mini mester and he was awesome. There are assignments / lectures every day but everything is due by Sunday so you have plenty of time. His lectures are very interesting and he's gives great feedback on assignments. Definitely recommend taking him.
Professsor Curry is the best communications teacher, he cares a lot about his students and is an easy grader. He keeps the class entertaining and everything you learn helps your day to day life. Definitely would take him again!
I took this class for winter minister and the teacher is very kind, caring for students. Of course, it has homework every day because it's a 3 weeks course but it's all easy. However, I love this class, it helps me improve my English and write skill through the reflection assignments. I would take this teacher again if I have a chance.
So easy class, he will give you the best advice on each assignment.
The online course was excellent. Everything was where it was supposed to be nothing was difficult to find or use. Just watch the lectures and do the work, he makes it easy to follow. Highy recommend.
I took a 3 week mini semester course. I did have to purchase McGraw-Hill Connect access to complete many assignments and it is necessary to pass the class. He makes videos discussing the lessons and then makes us complete a reflection paper or worksheet. This class was very interesting and helpful. He is funny, organized, and does grading fast.
Dr. Rick Curry made this very condensed 3-week course very doable. His expectations for class assignments were very clear and he made it easy to stay on track. I utilized his "check lists" for each assignment and lecture and that made this class go by smoothly. I thoroughly enjoyed his lectures and the video assignments.
Took class for 3 week winter mini-mester. May seem like a lot of work, but it is very easy. Have to write personal papers every week and read lectures that require you to answer questions as you read. All work is due every Sunday. Dr. Curry is a very easy grader. No tests, no giving a speech. You learn about comminution and how to improve.
Dr. Curry is the best professor ever! He is very understanding. All his assignments are due every Sunday. I took this class as a 3-week mini-mester, so I did keep myself busy. Book is necessary to purchase to complete lecture assignments. If I could retake this class, I would!
This semester is tough for me because studying online is not my favorite but I still get through this Winter class because of this professor. He made this class never boring, all of his assignment also not too hard if you take seriously enough in class. You also can get your extra credit to pull up your grade when you want to. I like this class.
He's a hell of a professor his lectures are enjoyable and the responses to the lecture are super easy to complete.
I surprisingly enjoyed the class, assignments are personal but really help you understand how the topic relates to you and your everyday life. Best lecture videos I've watched for a class.
He's the best professor I had so far! Even though this class was online due to COVID-19, he was very organized and explain everything so well. If you don't like writing papers, this class isn't for you. Overall, TAKE HIS CLASS!
Great professor with even better lectures that are easy to watch. Makes the subject personal and easy to understand. I took the three-week, online course and had to write a small paper almost every day, but nothing was too hard. Class was super organized and easy to follow. I highly recommend this class.
Dr. C. Is one of the best teachers I've had! He is very welcoming and gives really good feedback on assignments. He truly enjoys his job and it shows!
Class was ok but felt very focused on making you see things a certain way which I really did not like.
He is an amazing teacher. He really cares about his students and really wants the best for us. His lectures were thorough, however, he was funny and put memes, told jokes, and related our lives in what we were learning. I really wish I could have had him in person.
I really enjoyed the class and learned a lot from his lectures which are videos and easy to access.
Awesome Professor!! Dr. Curry's lecture were easy to understand and helped me have a better understanding on how important communication is, especially in a business environment. He is fair and great professor and I would enjoy taking another class of his.
Dr. Curry was a huge bright spot for this semester. Be open minded in this class and you'll learn so much more.
Dr. Curry's lectures are the backbone of this class. The are packed with information and personal examples from his life. They are usually followed by a reflection that is pretty open. He only cares that it is 1.5 pages long. The reflections and his feedback help further develop the ideas learned in the lecture. Do the assignments and you pass.
Dr. Curry has been a phenomenal professor. He gives clear and detailed feedback and I feel like I have actually learned in this class instead of just completing busy work by 11:59. I cannot recommend his class enough.
One of the best professors I've ever had, I highly recommend him. He's a fair grader, provides excellent feedback, responds quickly, and provides extra credit! I took Professor Curry for an 8 week session 1 course. There was a chapter, two 1 1/2 page reflection papers, and an assessment due every week. The work is really easy, take his course!!
You will regret not taking him!
This Professor is one of the coolest ones I have had. He is caring and concerned. His class is easily absorbed if you do your part. There were reflection papers almost every week, but they were like journal entries instead of essays or research papers. This method allowed me to look at things I did not see before. It helped me gain a better sense.
Great lectures and reading material. Even if Speech isn't required in your degree plan, I would take this course because it can help you in your career and personal life.
I took Dr. Curry for an 8 week session and do not regret taking him. The work is easy and you do learn a lot. He has good/funny lectures that help you stay focused and learn the material. There is no test/ quizzes just connect assignments, a few discussions and reflection papers due every week. TAKE HIS CLASS! EASY A.
Awesome Professor!! I took Dr. Curry for an 8-week class. He provided great lectures, and they are easy to understand. There are reflections that are more like journal entries and connect assignments due every weekalso, just a few discussions and skill assessments throughout the class. I highly recommend this class. TAKE HIS CLASS !!!!
This online course is easy to follow and the professor responds to emails timely. Lots of weekly assignments but easy enough to manage. I would recommend this course to everyone!
He's very passionate about helping students be successful in improving their speech and speaking skills.
Your grade will improve dramatically if you go on this site and give him a good rating. Its that simple. I prefer the professors who do not worry so much about their rating on this site. Some build their reputation through hard work.
He's chill and an easy grader. Not much pressure in this class.
I really enjoyed this class, it was so organized and easy to follow. Professor was very nice and give out very clear instructions. Highly recommend for everyone to take
Really great professor ! Fun lessons . Just do your work and turn it in on time and you will be good. Although, Dont forget to do the modules
I wish I was able to select more tags to describe Dr. Curry. You can easily tell he is passionate about his student and teaching. His class helped me gain communication skills and learn a lot about myself in the first few lectures. He gives very responsive feedback on his assignments and gives you plenty of time to work on them.
Dr. Curry is very well organized with layout for the class. His video lectures are super informative and funny! Overall a great class to help you be more confident in communicating!
This class was pretty easy and simple to follow. There's a reflection and LearnSmart assignments nearly every week. The questions can range from 20-100 questions that are easy, but time consuming. Since this is a speech class, you do have to make videos of yourself (about 5) if you take this course online. Overall, it's a pretty decent class.
Dr. Curry is a good teacher and I found his lectures interesting.
Dr. Curry is a very good teacher and I found his lectures interesting.
I have taken his class before, and I love the way he has his classes set up. You watch a video, do a connect assignment, and a reflection. Sometimes he will throw in a discussion post, or maybe you have to do a video. The best part of this class is that there aren't any tests. Please take this professor; he is fantastic!
Dr. C is hands down one of the best professors I have had. Even if the class is not required you should take him and this course. He is a very good teacher and made me look forward to his lectures every week.
I'm so glad I took Dr. Curry's 8-week online class through Lone Star. It's so apparent that he's genuinely interested in and passionate about Communications, and he does everything he can to help his students. The work is super interesting and a little tedious, but if you work hard and have decent time management, you'll get a good grade!
Dr. Curry was a super engaging professor. It's obvious that he tries to form a connection with his students. Most of the class is reading from the textbook, writing reflections, and the occasional speech. Fair warning, some of the reflections get a little personal, but Dr. Curry was very respectful concerning students' opinions.
I love how professor curry was so detail-oriented about this course, he truly cared about the students and was fully engaged. definitely recommend him for speech class.
He is a very good teacher and his lectures is interesting and easy to follow. Just do your work and turn it in on time, you will make an A.
Easy A if you work for it. I wouldn't think twice about taking him again. We write papers every week but they're not boring. They're actually very interesting and his lecture is extremely informational. I will definitely be taking notes from his lecture with me in the long run. Loved having him as a professor.
Dr. Curry is one of the best professors I've had. He gives really good feedback on all your assignments and it feels like he really cares about his students.
I really enjoyed this professor due to the fact that his lectures where very interesting and he is very organized. He cares for his students, he takes very good pride into making his students learn the material through lectures by finding a connection thorough our daily lives.
This was by far the easiest and best class I have taken. This class consists of weekly essays and chapter readings with some questions, however, as long as you do the work you can get an easy 100. There are some speech videos that you have to do, but he is very easy on those too. I definitely recommend taking this class.
I am very glad that I took the class. His lectures are useful and prepare me skills needed to work in a professional environment. As a formal (not sure if he is still working that job) recruiter, he provided valuable tips for interviews and writing cover letters. A ton of works but worth it. Highly recommend.
Really great teacher! No midterm or final, works with you and is FAST with emails!
He is a great professor. He highlights the important parts to read in the textbook. He gives feedback on assignments that are worth reading. Lectures had a real world connection. I would take him again if I had to.
Dr. Curry is one of the best professors I have had. He is very understanding and caring. Just make sure to do discussions and online modules and you will have a good grade. He gives a chance to make up any grade at the end of semester and even adds bonus grades. 10/10 overall.
Doctor Curry is an excellent teacher
Dr. Curry's class is very organized and he responds quickly to emails. Keep up with the assignments and you will do well. He gives you a chance to make up a missing assignment at the end of the semester if needed. The lectures were funny and informative. I found this class very helpful and would take again!
Gives great instructions
With Dr Curry, you can tell how passionate he is about teaching this class. His reflections are always fun to type up and the speeches were easy! His lectures were also very interesting. He's a great professor, take him if you need speech!
I was really nervous about taking a speech class, but once I took his class, and this is my first speech class ever, I can confidently say that I enjoy public speaking and his class.
Extremely Passionate about what he is Teaching. Really makes the class fun.
Dr. Curry is a great professor and his class is interesting and not too difficult.
Great Experience, Professor Curry was extremely organized and each week posted a list of the items due. Some mandatory video/audio recorded speeches, however his expectations were not too high, just participate and you should earn an easy A.
Dr. Curry's class is one of the best online classes I've ever taken. I took his class for an 8 week course and it went by so fast that I barely even realized it was the last week. I would definitely recommend him!
Great class and lectures. I highly recommend Dr. Curry.
Dr. Curry's lectures are very nicely presented and involve the class in the lectures. Very knowledgeable and intelligent; Ask stimulating questions; good at explaining ideas. Such an amazing professor, and makes it easy for his students to pass the class.
Best. Professor. Ever. I have never seen a professor so passionate about what they teach, and he does so while making the lectures funny and interesting. Weekly reflections are assigned as a way for everyone to reflect on your communication skill sets, and what you can do to improve them over time. TAKE THIS CLASS and more importantly CHOOSE HIM.
Take Dr. Curry's speech course, and you won't be disappointed! Dr. Curry kept everything straightforward and interesting during the entirety of the semester.
He is a great professor just do your work and turn it in or missing assignments will hurt your grade.
Dr. Curry was a great professor. Very encouraging as well as knowledgeable about the content. It's very clear that he cares about both the material he's teaching, but also your success. I felt like he wanted you to focus on becoming comfortable with the concepts and skills, he wasn't looking for total mastery of the material.
Take professor Curry for your Speech class and you won't regret. He is one of the best Professor I have ever taken at Lonestar. He is very organized and clear. He has a checklist for every week which helps you keep track on all the assignments. It is especially helpful when every classes are online as now.
Loved this class. Weekly refllections really help you to understand and learn about the subject. He gives good feedback and shows he cares about your grade. Would take it again definetly
You do the work you will pass this class with A
Dr. Curry was an amazing professor who clearly cares for his students. He not only offers assistance but is very patient. The class itself was well put together, organized, and the material was easy to understand. The class was both inspirational and informational.
Dr.C was an amazing professor! He truly cares about his students and is super accessible through text or email when needed! Although speech is a requirement, I genuinely enjoyed his class and would take it again in a heartbeat! Take him if you get the chance!!
Very organized, very easy, very self explanatory, video lectures easy to comprehend This class was a very easy A! Take him! You will not regret!! He grades everything quickly and there is no confusion in this class and there is not that much work to do.
Dr. Curry's class is easy and informative. There's online homework and reflections over the lecture videos due every week, but they're simple and Dr. Curry is great at helping whenever you need it. One of the best professors I've had at Lone Star, I highly recommend taking his class!
He adjusted his methods well for the online delivery environment and for individualized learning.
Professor C was an amazing instructor, teaching how to improve our communication skills, offers great assistance and quick feedback.
Good professor
Professor Curry helped me learn a lot about communication and why communicating with other is important and beneficial. He was super helpful whenever I got behind on something, which is amazing! He also made learning interesting which not a lot of professors can do! He gets an A+ from me!
Dr. Curry is an amazing professor! You can tell he loves doing what he does. Took him for the 8-week session and it was pretty easy. He gives weekly lectures (very interesting btw), and you have to reflect in 1.5 pages. I would take him again.
Easy, understandable, useful. No tests, reflections, and discussions are easy and engaging. His lectures are amazing and funny.
He's a great professor. Just follow the syllabus, do the work and you will pass this class with an A
There's work every week but everything is due at the end of the week which is good for people like me who also work full time. The grading felt generous as long as you complete all the assignments you should do well.
The professor was really great because he didn't make the class boring with his lectures. He always sounded upbeat especially when it came to the speeches portion of the course. He really tried to push people out of their comfort zone, and make sure everyone tries their best.
I took the online 8-week course, and I did just fine. He gives very simple assignments, and he is a good teacher.
Hes a great professor, very kind and caring towards students. The work for his class is pretty easy and he makes it fun.
I really enjoyed Professor Curry's class. I put off this class for a long time, but he made it an enjoyable experience. He is incredibly understanding and gives you everything you need to succeed. Be prepared to write, but it is nothing too crazy. Just turn in your assignments, make an honest effort, and you will be fine.
Great professor, just do your work on time and you'll pass. Assignments are fairly easy. Not a lot of assignments are assigned for the week, and everything is due by the end of the week.
This professor is great! I highly recommend taking his class. He is easy going and understanding. 10/10 would take again if I could.
Best professor I've ever had!
His lectures are easy and not too long to mostly 30minutes. Took 8week mini, you do about 2 short reflection journals per week (1.5page each, informal) answering questions on the lecture, and connect assignments. Sometimes discussion posts. Just do your work to pass. 1 makeup work given + extracredit. I missed an assignment and still got a A+
Overall, just a wonderful professor. He really seems like he reads each and every assignment with accurate feedback based on your pieces. Really encouraging and motivating to share our story no matter what others think. I definitely will carry the curriculum from this course with me every day in the real world.
Awesome guy. Clear directions. Great lectures.
I took this Maymester class to get my speech credit out of the way and I 100% would recommend him to anyone!
I took this as a 3-week course and the workload is very doable. Participate, engage and do the work and you will do fine. Dr. Curry is a great communicator and made things very clear in his lectures and assignments. I would take him again in the future. You will have several reflections to write, connect assignments, and not to mention no tests.
This professor is super passionate about communications. Lectures for every chapter, which I appreciate. Do the work and you will pass with an A, no problem!
I really enjoyed the lectures that he had and there is no final exam but there is a 1.5 page to write for most assignments that are reflection journals not bad if you have alot to say though!
Dr. C is a great professor that definitely cares about what he is teaching.
Dr. Curry is a fantastic professor, I took his 3 week course. Very organized and his class was not hard to keep up with. Do the work and you will be fine he gives great feedback.
enjoyed it 3weeks no tests alot of papers to write
I took this class as a 3-week course. I don't blame him for the workload, it's what you sign up for when taking a mini-mester. You had to write a reflection daily & had Connect assignments that took a while sometimes. Overall, his lectures were great! I never found his assignments to be difficult, you just gotta pull through it. Super organized.
I took this online class in a 3 week mini mester. The work load was heavy, but it was a 3 week class. Very doable if you stay on track. There are daily reflections and Connect assignments. No test. All his lectures were very informative of the topic being discussed. Organized class and he gives good feedback and grades pretty fast.
Dr. Curry is an amazing professor! This has been my favorites class so far. He doesn't give quizzes or test but does require journal entries but this has helped me retain the information. TAKE HIS CLASS!
Best professor I have had. I have taken him twice now. He is great with grading and gives out a good amount of work (not too much not too little). Easy A
Dr. Curry is an amazing professor! Everything was very clear & understanding, his lectures are not long & boring. He has a different approach to assignments & the way of his class vs most, I loved it the assignments do not make you feel like you are wasting your time doing busy work. I learned a lot, I wish I had room to say more BUT TAKE HIM!
Complete the work with the given materials/lectures, and the class with be straightforward. Professor Curry is very easy to understand and is passionate about the subject.
This class was a lot like the version I took in high school. The only difference is is that this class was much easier than the one in high school! Didnt get a thing out of it!
I didn't look forward to taking a speech class but Dr. Curry made this class painless. I was thankful that we only had to record two speeches for this class . It was a short 3 week class so there was lots of reading and many assignments due weekly. The assignments were easy and there were no quizzes or tests. Great professor!
I would absolutely recommend taking this class with Dr. Curry! I couldn't have asked for a better professor and class to help me with my goals and future. He provides valuable information that you can use to become better in your career, future goals, and everyday life.
Dr. Curry was an amazing professor! I learned a lot through his speech course! I took his 3 week mini-mester and he made it easy for us!
By far, the best professor I have had during the pandemic. I had this man for the 3-week-minimester course and I will tell you, there are no tests, he grades easily, and I actually learned in the class. The assignments had clear due dates, and there are good extra credit opportunities. A fair bit of writing and reading, But an easy, no-stress A.
Professor Curry is very respectful and caring. He responded to my emails promptly and was very easy to get in contact with. Speech is a class that I didn't really care about, I came into the class already feeling like I was pretty good at public speaking. Despite all of that, even I would have to admit this class was informative.
He is a great professor. You have to however put in effort on your end in order to receive a good grade. The lectures are enjoyable and the assignments are a great way to express yourself.
Dr. Curry is an overall great professor and I thoroughly enjoyed his class this semester! As long as you do the assignments on time, you should do well in his class. He gives amazing feedback and makes the assignment relate to your daily life which makes them enjoyable.
I did the 6 week summer session, 2-3 reflection papers per week (1.5 pages long), 2 chapters and questions per week (through Connect). Well organized, clear expectations, nice guy. Take Dr. C, you wont regret it!!
Dr. Curry is a great choice of professors. He is caring and helpful. He gives good feedback and allows for extra credit. I took this as a six-week summer course and would definitely recommend it.
Professor Curry is an excellent professor! His course work is well explained, he gives feedback about assignments, provides additional resources about the lessons, and gives extra credit! Overall easiest course I've taken and I would take another speech-related course that he teaches!
Dr. Curry is an amazing professor. He's really caring and super helpful. He's accessible through e-mail & phone number. He gives great feedback on your assignments. His assignments mainly consist of reflection papers and textbook work. You do need to purchase an e-textbook (McGraw Hill) though. Otherwise, I really do recommend this professor!
Dr. Curry was an amazing instructor. He provides positive feedback on each assignment. I started this course very nervous since I have anxiety when it come to public speaking. I found Dr. Curry's lectures very informative and helpful. I would recommend taking Dr. Curry.
10/10 would recommend!
Professor Curry is an amazing professor. He responds to emails quickly and answers any questions you may have regarding the course. I enjoyed watching and listening to his lecture videos. I would take him again if I need to.
He is honestly one of THE BEST professors I've had. Super easy work. No exams, none. McGraw Hill Connect assignments and Reflection (1.5 pages) but they were all about YOURSELF. He is super organized and clear. Very funny also.
Professor Curry is very reliable, one of the best professors. We used connect and personal reflections of the topics for the week. He has a checklist for each week which is great to not forget to submit your assignments. He responds quick to emails and provides prerecorded lectures. You won't regret taking his class!
Profesor curry was very organized and made the class easy to understand. The lectures were interesting and consisted of doing the online book and weekly reflections for the most part. It is not a hard class and as long as you put in some effort and do the work you will do just fine!
The class in its self was very organized. There were some opportunities for a lot of extra credit. He makes his class enjoyable for the students. He responds and grades rather quickly and gives great feedback. I enjoyed this class and would 100% recommend it to anyone.
Although there is a lot of writing assignments to do in his class he is an awesome professor. The writing assignments are from your perspective so nothing too crazy or difficult. I give him 5 stars and would definitely take his class!!!
Professor Curry is so amazing! I took him for this year 2021 Summer class and it was awesome. He is super funny, very relatable, extremely caring, and he understands that were as students go through life so he is lenient. I took his speech public speaking and I will also be taking his source 1321 business professional this fall. Hes the best!
Professor curry gives you feedback about your papers and really shows that he understand and cares for you.
Dr. Curry genuinely cares about all his students and wants everyone to succeed. There was a lot of writing. He is very clear on what he expects, and his lecture videos were very interesting. I HIGHLY recommend him.
Dr curry is the funniest professor I've ever taken and hihw is very easy to get in contact with he help you by giving u a little extra credit and is a pretty easy grader I highly recommend if u have no taken a speech class before, take him.
He is an inspirational and caring professor. He always includes his life experience in his lectures to help the students understand and connect the main topic being discussed. He is regularly available and replies to emails.
Dr. Curry's class is a blast! His lectures are entertaining, and he is very supportive of his students. If you take his class (specifically 8-week), be prepared to write. We had a page and a half reflection per week. However, they weren't difficult and often helped me relate to the materialno tests or quizzes. Take him!!
The professor was willing to help as long as students reached out to him. Also, the professor provided lectures that he recorded himself to help students get a better understanding of the topics discussed in class. After grading each assignment, the professor leaves good feedback that students can use to help improve their grades in the future.
This class so far one of my favorite college classes ever. Although it was 8-week course, the amount of weekly assignments was easy to handle. His weekly video lectures are interesting and enjoyable. Assignments are graded the day after due date with very helpful feedback. Trust me, you wont regret to take his courses!!!
Dr Curry is AMAZING! He doesn't assign exams, just simple discussions and homework assignments. He gives plenty of opportunities for extra credit. He truly cares about his students and wants them to be able to take what they learn and use it in the real world. If I could take his class again I would in a heartbeat!!!
Too easy - like an 8th grade class.
Dr. Currys lectures where all very interesting and informational. I learned a lot of information to bring into the professional world. SmartBook assignment for each chapter on connect. Would take him again if I needed another speech class.
Great professor. Most of the assignments are from your perspective and your opinion. Its writing heavy but its 1.5-2 pages so not long. The lectures are informative and funny too. Great class i learned alot.
Professor Curry lectures are enlighten and informational. I would highly recommend him. Hands down one of the best.
Professor Curry genuinely cares about his students and really wants you to learn something! He gives clear review prompts, online textbook assignments, and plenty of extra credit! I could complete assignments the day before or on the due date.
One of the best professors I've ever had. His passion for learning is contagious and I will take him again if given the opportunity!
The Best Professor so far, I really did not have any pressure in this class, it was an 8-week class and although it sounds like too much work, trust me it was not, professor curry made it simple. An Easy A with a little bit of effort.
There is only one word to describe Dr. Curry FLAWLESS. His reviews speak volume and they are true. He is an AMAZING teacher and if you do not pass his class or do not do well, it is truly all on you. Please Please take him you will not regret it.
Professor Curry's lectures are enlightening and informational. I would highly recommend him. Great professor. Most of the assignments are from your perspective and your opinion. It's writing heavy but it's 1.5-2 pages so not long.
I was scared to death to take speech but Dr. Curry made this easy! His class was well organized. No tests! You have to write weekly reflections (single space/1.5 pages). You have connect assignments that are easy. He gives extra credit and allow you to make up assignments the last week of class. He is a gem!!! Take him, you won't regret it!!!
Dr. Curry has been my favorite professor so far, my favorite thing about him by far is the way he organizes his course. He clearly states what you have to do during the week and is very lenient when grading as long as you do the work. My only complaint is that during one week, he brought politics into the course.
Dr. C's online class was great. He followed the syllabus and is very well organized. I enjoyed his lectures and I have to say I learned a lot about communication in this class and it has made me a better communicator. He is an absolute gem and I would recommend anyone looking here to take his class.
I was dreading taking a speech class, public speaking is not my thing but Dr. Curry made it so easy and enjoyable! I took an 8 week course and the workload wasn't bad, nothing that couldn't be handled with time management. The class was very organized, deadlines are clear and homework was easy to find.
Speaking in front of other people is not for me, but Dr. Curry made Intro to Communications super easy. I took this in an 8 week course and it was super easy. The workload was very fair and easy to complete throughout the week. Dr. Curry was also very good at giving good feedback and responding to emails in a timely manner. Great professor overall!
Great teacher. Fair grader. Learned a ton.
excellent professor
Best professor I have had in college. Gives great feedback and grades pretty easy. Just do the work and you'll pass easily.
Dr. Rick Curry is an amazing professor! His online class is very organized and easy to follow. Each week you are assigned to watch a lecture video that he puts together, write a reflection on the lecture, and complete a Connect assignment. No tests, easy assessment grades, and extra credit. Highly recommend his class!
He encouraged me to keep going which in the middle of going through some tough things and gave me an extension for the course so I could continue and pass. He is clear and precise in his lectures and the work isnt hard at all. You just have to schedule well and youll be fine.
Great prof! Take his online class. Light work load and easy grader.
Dr. Curry is very passionate about communication. I really enjoy how thorough his lectures are. He is very easy to reach if you have any concerns, and the grading is very straightforward. I was fond of the feedback he gave on assignments. I learned so much in this class. The assignments make you self reflect and make you a better communicator.
I took an 8-week online class with Prof. Curry. He is one of the best Professors that I had as a college student. I would take him again if I can. I like the way that he lists out the assignments that we need to complete each week. I never missed any assignments or confusing anything because he explained everything in the instruction already.
Dr. C. Does a great job communicating with students. He always has solid lectures and his class teaches highly useful communication skills.
Professor Curry is a fantastic professor! He helped me whenever I needed him to help me and really cares as a teacher to make sure that you do well in his class! He is a great teacher and it is heavy on papers & homework but I did take an 8-week course so that was understandable YOU WILL NOT REGRET TAKING HIM!!
Took the 8-week Speech course. You'll have modules for every week with 1-2 LearnSmart assignments and 1-2 reflections. The reflections are 1.5 pages single-spaced, but you can just spill your thoughts and you'll get an A. Super easy course.
Take this class!! Super easy, no tests, great professor. Not a lot of work and his lectures are interesting. I genuinely learned a lot about communication.
He is an amazing professor who cares about you and wants you to succeed. His lectures are great, the examples he uses in the lecture help you understand the topic of the lecture better. He gives good feedback and would love to help you with whatever questions you have. I picked him because he has good reviews and I can see why. Glad I picked him.
Hes very condescending Not every student will love a class, and thats ok. You completed 30 assignments in a 8wk course and found it easy - so Im thinking an entry-level 100 class was probably not challenging enough. Theres some advanced (even Honors classes) I can recommend if youd like a deeper dive into communication. Best of luck. ��
I loved Dr. Curry's class. He responded to all my emails quickly and seemed to genuinely care about my success. I missed 2 assignments in a row and he emailed to see if I was ok and asked how he could help. I've never had a professor show the level of care he did. Best professor I've ever had and I feel like I'm a better person after this class.
Would give a 10 if I could. One of the best professors I've ever had and I learned more than I thought I would. You will need to do the work to be successful but it's actually a fun class. Was clear he actually cared about us and he provided extra credit to help balance the amount of work due in an 8 week class.
Dr. Curry is a great professor. He provides great feedback on the assignments.
I took Dr. Currys 16 week Public Speaking course online. I did not know how a Speech class was going to get done online but Dr. Curry has mastered the way of teaching Speech online. He is an excellent professor and he is a wonderful speaker himself so his lecture were nice to listen to. I really enjoyed his class.
This class was a pretty simple class. However, I still feel like I learned a lot and improved my speaking skills. He allows you to redo grades at the end of the semester and also gives extra credit. He explained everything very simply, and the lectures were very informative, and also entertaining. He lays out all assignments in easy checklists.
As an online class and a speech class I was intimidated I would have to make speeches. That wasn't the case here and I was surprised at how easy this class was. Easy in the sense that our assignments were clear. The teacher's lecture videos were great tools to have and it was nice to be able to have that to tie up the lessons. Take him!
Professor Curry was one of my favorite professors this semester and I would highly recommend taking him. I took online this whole semester and professor curry was the only professor I actually learned a lot from he has recorded lectures which are about 30mins that are not mandatory to watch however it would make your assignment completion very easy
Very respectful and ready to teach. A paper to write every week but very doable. Responds to emails in a timely manner.
Dr. Curry is an amazing and caring professor. He has amazing lectures with clear messages which makes the course easy. I was scared of taking speech class but am glad he made it easy.
Dr. Curry is a fantastic teacher from his organization, his clear grading criteria, and the time frame to complete all assignments. He's easily accessible outside of class, and I can for sure say he's helped me improve my public speaking skills immensely.
Professor Curry was great! Super organized and easy to follow. You will need to read and answer questions on McGraw Hill, nothing too hard. There are 4 speeches, a slide presentation and Facebook participation on discussions. Overall, the class was great and easy to follow.
I've always struggled as a public speaker, but I'm so glad I got Dr. Curry as my professor! His lectures were always clear and included a lot of great information and tips. I appreciated that he presented multiple opportunities for us to reflect on our skills and to learn about ourselves throughout the course. Thank you Dr. Curry!
Professor Curry is an amazing teacher. He gives good feedback, response to emails quickly, and his video lectures (if you're doing it online) are easy to listen to. His rubric for speeches is easy to follow. There were only a few speeches that had to be turned in and they were fairly simple yet effective.
Professor Curry is one of the best professor that I have ever taken! I wish there was more professors like him. His lectures were easy to understands and after every lecture there is a reflection paper. For every assignment he provides you with feedback. He also really cares for his students too and wants all his students to be successful.
He takes the time to carefully explain the material which makes it very easy to understand. You can tell he is a great public speaker, and his ability to teach it is great. He also provides numerous examples to show what we are supposed to do. I would definitely take a class with him again.
As someone who was nervous to go into public speaking, I couldn't recommend Dr. Curry enough! His lectures and course material provided a lot of useful information that made me feel prepared during my speeches. Each speech had clear expectations and his feedback was helpful and encouraged me to improve. He made speech-making much less intimidating.
Taking SPCH 1315 with Dr Curry was awesome. Lots of reading and homework for the first half of the semester. Five Speeches throughout the semester. If you really care about learning, take him. You will not regret it.
Professor Curry is one of the best speech professors that I have ever taken. I am not a fan of speaking in front of an audience, but after taking his class I felt more confident in my public speaking skills. He also provides great feedback on each of my speeches.
Best professor that I ever had! You wont regret taking him.
Dr. Curry is very caring of your education. He gives you a rubric for your speeches that is detailed, as well as his direct feedback is very helpful. In addition to this, he provides very helpful and informative lectures and other helpful resources like articles and TED speakers. Overall, he was extremely friendly and helpful, definitely recommend.
I would definitely retake Dr. Curry's class and he made sure his instructions were loud and clear, made sure we didn't plagiarize, and he gave really good feedbacks. Overall, he was the best professor I have ever taken and I am thankful his class wasn't stressful.
This class is an easy grade. I took the mini-mester so there was a lot of work to do in a short period of time. He does respond to emails fast and is understanding if there is something going on that will prevent you from completing on time. Extra credit is offered.
Dr. Curry was an amazing professor I think his class is super understandable and easy to do so long as you plan ahead and manage your time. There is EXTREMELY long homework every week but otherwise, it is really easy. Thanks for a fun and informative year. Hope you guys do great out there.
Dr. Curry was an awesome professor. His lectures are great and super informative. Good amount of journal entries but the topics are intriguing and are easy to write about. Overall great professor, wish there was more professors like him!
Good lectures and feedbacks. Highly recommended.
Dr. Curry is a really good teacher and cares about his class. You can tell he really loves teaching this speech class. I actually learned so much about myself in this class than any other. I took an 8 week online class, and there is a moderate amount of work you have to do, but it's kind of like creative writing, so its not so bad.
This class was a bit harder than I expected. If you're a procrastinator, you will struggle in this class. I strongly advice getting the work done as soon as possible, especially if it's a speech. If you have questions, definitely ask the professor. He is always willing to help and replies almost instantly.
Dr. Curry was such an engaging professor and made his lectures very funny and entertaining. I also improved so much with my public speaking skills, and he eased any anxiety I previously had. Definitely going to miss this class next semester.
Professor Curry came highly recommended by friends and peers, and he lived up to his reputation. He was said to be an excellent professor that is very knowledgably of his course and gives back great feedback. He is wants to to learn and is very caring. Once I turned in an assignment to a different folder and he immediately messaged to check in.
Professor Curry is an amazing instructor! He is passionate at what he does. He is very approachable and understanding. I was worried about doing speeches but he makes you feel like it is not a big deal, and gives you very useful feedback. You will learn a lot from him because he is a great speaker.
Great professor, doesn't grade harshly.
It was a good corse, and Prof Curry created a very good class environment, especially since it was an online class, but there were times where he was not able to answer some of the questions we had. Dont get me wrong though, I grew as a public speaker and became more confident and comfortable in front of people. Overall, I enjoyed it.
Dr. Curry is a great professor. He laid out the plan for the semester and provided updates when needed. He provided resources for the class to improve speaking skills and gave great feedback as he is himself a great speaker.
Dr. Professor Curry is an amazing professor. Take him if you want to pass!
Basic speech professor, if you do the work there is nothing to worry about.
Dr. Richard Curry is an incredibly helpful instructor who critiques honestly and without bias. He walks the students through the research process but ensures that they are learning. Since I took an online-synchronous class, attendance was vital for my success. My only issue was that the online assignment descriptions lacked some clarification.
Professor Curry makes the class so interesting and you definitely will take something away from his class! He also makes it easy to understand, he is organized, and he is very responsive if you have questions. PLEASE put in the work and effort! He will help you become a better speaker in public, TAKE HIM!! Put in the work, and you will pass!
Dr Curry is kind and truly cares for his students. He responded to my emails very quickly. He also helped me whenever I had any questions. Dr. Curry taught his students with passion and enthusiasm. His video lecture was clear and compelling, so I learned many valuable lessons. If you take him in this course, you will never regret. -Angel
This is my first time ever taking online classes at Lonestar and let me tell you. Professor Curry's class is one of THE BEST online classes to take. He is very caring when it comes to his students and always makes time to help you with any questions or concerns you may have for his assignments. I highly recommend him if you're looking for an easy A
If you want to take a speech class, this is the one to take! Super accessible, easy to communicate to, accommodating for his students, and easy-going in general. If you put in any effort then there should be no concern about failing the class.
Professor Curry sets clear timelines for when things are due so it's super simple for an online class and he really cares about his students. If you just do the proper speeches and responses you will definitely do well in his class!
Prof. Curry was very helpful, easy to reach, and his D2L page is very easy to navigate. This is especially helpful when taking an online course and It makes it easy to turn work in on time. Great professor, I highly recommend taking his class!
Professor Curry is a great professor always there to give a helping hand when needed. There are 4 speeches that you have to do, but they are easy as long as you follow the guidelines he set. Also you have to do an essay at the beginning of the class, but it's only 2 pages long at most.
Was a great teacher. He gave clear feedback when necessary on an assignment. Gave a good amount of work but, work that was manageable. Speeches were fun and interesting to do as well.
There are a lot of papers to write, but nothing hard. They are mainly self reflections to help you build confidence. These papers make you more aware of situations and areas of growth.
Dr. Curry is awesome! He gives you material needed to become a better speaker and communicates effectively and efficiently. If you follow directions, do the work, its an easy A. Show up, put in the effort, youll have a great semester !
Just do what you're supposed to do and read the syllabus. Fairly easy course, I took it online, I would recommend anyone this class looking to take speech. He is very quick in responding to any of your question, he provides his number and the one time I had to ask a question he responded within the minute.
This is actually my second time learning with the Professor Curry. The first time I took his class was in person and I had a blast! This time, however, was online and my opinion is easily unchanged. An easy class with a pretty lenient, understanding and caring professor who actually teaches you something valuable for life. Professor Curry is great!
Great class and great professor.
Absolutely loved Professor Curry's class. He is now my all time favorite professor. Classes were engaging, fun, and very natural. Grades were fair and he gave great feedback.

Dr. Curry is one of the best professors I have ever had! You can tell he's passionate about what he does and really cares about not just making sure you pass, but making sure you really get something out of the class and have fun. 10/10, hands down one of the best classes I've taken. Participate, attend class, get your work done, and you'll be set!
Dr. Curry gives his students easy assignments. He focuses more in written reflection so the assignments are more of an opinion than a right or wrong answer. He also makes sure to explain every chapter for the students to be able to further understand all the material. Overall the class was very helpful with my professional speech.
Professor Curry is a respectful and fair educational choice. He gives very clear grading criteria and instructions. I would take his course again if need be and if available.

Just log in and do your assignments as scheduled.
I am currently in the last week of his 3 week mini course for intro to communication and I can honestly say that i have learned a lot from him.

Along with the Connect questions, all you must do is a collection of reflections in journal entry/conversational writing style. No need for formatting and citations. No tests.

Hes very understanding and doesnt require you to go over the top. If I could I would take this class again, he is an awesome teacher.
He is one of the best teacher I have had so far. He has great lectures that are easy to follow. The assignments aren't hard and as long as you do them you will do great in his class. He grades quickly and offers great feedback. I took his 8 week course, professor curry made it easy to understand the material.
Dr, Curry Is one of my best professors; if you want to make an easy A, this is the class for you; this professor is doing everything to make his student do well. All you have to do is write a page and half essay or reflection on the lecture videos; the videos are concise, there is extra credit in this class. And I will take this class again
Taking SPCH1311 with Professor Curry was a breeze as long as you are attentive. Prepare to do a lot of easy note taking on the text & lectures, this will help you for the weekly assignments. You will be asked to participate & it will be beneficial to not only your learning intake but your own reflection of each subject. Highly recommend
One of the best professors I've had so far, would definitely recommend this professor to anyone.
this was by my favorite class I have ever taken. Dr. Curry is an amazing professor and even though my class was online you can tell he truly cares about his students. I cannot recommend this professor enough. There are weekly reflections that connect your life to the lessons which makes learning the topics so fun. seriously loved this class 10/10!
Great Professor, goes exactly by the syllabus. There are 8 reflection essays in the 8 week online class, but very easy to do and he grades very well. Definitely glad that I took his class!!
I took the eight week online course with Dr. curry and i don't regret it at all. I highly recommend to take him! his lectures are easy to follow and the work is easy. Make sure you don't miss deadlines!!!
This Professor is amazing at his job. Great lectures, easy to understand assignments and coursework. Genuinely no complaints at all
Professor Curry is amazing! His lectures are very detailed and straightforward. He tries to keep up with modern day slang to keep a cool environment with his class. He gives very good and detailed feedback on all assignments.
Amazing professor! I honestly did enjoy Dr. Curry's class very much! From the fantastic lectures to the assignments. I took his 8-week course online and learned so much in the little time with him. His online class is very organized. He gives excellent, effective feedback and grades all assignments in just a matter of days. Take him!
Professor Curry is great! He is very understanding and cares about his students. One time I had to email him for an error in the gradebook and he responded right away. His lectures are also very interesting and can be funny as he includes memes, I really enjoyed them. His class is very organized and his due dates are clear. Take him!
Professor Curry is AWESOME. I love his SPCH class, it took minimal effort to complete the 8 weeks class. He responds to emails swiftly with a great attitude. Professor Curry is very nice and approachable, his class is an easy A. I recommend him 100%.
Dr. Curry is a great professor, I took him for the 8 week course. He gives reflections and concept chapter homework. There is about 2 reflections per week and the concept chapters range from 50-66 depending but you can finish those in a timely manner. He is an easy grader and as long you do the work you will pass.
Dr. Curry did an AMAZING job teaching this course! Each of the video lectures follows what is taught in the book! He accepts the reflection assignments through typing them or recording a video, which was a huge time saver! The content in this class changed my perspective on many things, and if everyone took it the world would be a better place! FR
Professor Curry is AWESOME! I took him as an 8 week online course and enjoyed every second! It's a very easy course and has clear instructions/guidelines. TAKE THIS COURSE!! You have weekly reflections that incorporate topics from the lectures and connect assignments. No tests, and is a very manageable class for a 8 week course!
I took his online 8 week course and it was amazing. All work was due on Sunday and he had clear grading criteria and we were given enough time to complete the work. The work load is not to crazy for a 8 week course. Great professor take him!!!
Great guy and understanding. I took his 8 week online and he was a great Professor.
Professor Curry is very caring and will give good feedback in the grade book. I recommend everyone take this class because you will learn things ranging from how to communicate to presenting. He also answers quickly to email. And no test or quiz in class.
Professor Curry lectures are not hard at all, they may be long but easy plus some of the topics are very interesting. In fact, you can gain confidence when talking in public, at least I have.
Mr. Curry was a great and caring teacher. Textbook came in handy when doing assignments on connect and helped me understand the material for every week.
Literally my favorite professor out of all my classes taken. I was dreading taking this speech course as it is a requirement but Dr. Curry is fun and very kind, made the course fly by! Instructions are always super clear and he provides great commentary. Definitely take him if you can!
Professor Curry makes the work easy and to the point. There are no tests or quizzes, just weekly reflection essays and connect assignments. Lectures aren't long, and all the assignments are due on Sunday. He's a great professor you won't regret taking him!
Took this as an 8wk online class and it is so simple. The course is straight forward and easy to follow, consists of watching videos and writing short reflection papers over the info, no mla format it is in your own words. You really have to try to fail this course. Do yourself a favor and take this professor.
He was very great and organized. His lectures are clear, and do the work and you will pass great class.
Dr. Curry is really good at teaching this class. He knows what he's doing. I'm not usually a big participant but he got me talking! It is a fun class with some good life lessons. Do the work and you'll do well!
Richard Curry was a great teacher, making the material he was teaching clear and concise without deviating from the topic at hand. Also not to mention the work itself is pretty easy, I would give his class an easy recommendation.
One of the most fun professors I have ever had. His ability to present topics and the way he interacts with the class really shows you that he knows what he is talking about. In fact, he'll often remind you of his PhD and his various awards so you won't forget! The homework is easy if you don't procrastinate 'till the last minute.
Professor Curry is a fun and outgoing professor who i would take again in a heartbeat. After not completing multiple McGraw-Hill connect assignments due to me not knowing how to access them, professor curry accommodated me and allowed me to finish them and get full credit. Take Professor Curry if you can!
Would recommend taking any of his courses offer. Great professor!
Good professor, lectures are well made and easy to follow along. Dr. Curry is a understanding and fun professor.
Dr. Curry is an awesome professor, Hes very kind and made me feel very safe and respected for who I am. I enjoyed listening to his lectures which are also uploaded online. The course work consisted of McGrawhill assignments and reflections which were easy enough as you could be very personal with them. Overall, it's a fun and engaging class :)
Dr. Curry is an amazing professor, from the moment you walk into his class it feels warm and inviting. His lectures feel more like conversations and they are also available online so if you miss class you are able to catch up. The course material was easy and personal. Overall it is an awesome class to take.
First of all, students don’t have much of a choice here… We are pressured to give a review! Yes, it’s 2022 but this is like being paid to give a fake review on Amazon. Just be good at your craft & let the rest take care of itself.
Took this as an 8-week online class. Assignments were clear every week, included M/C questions in Connect, weekly writing assignments, a few self recorded assignments. It is not a hard class but you do have to put the work in. Overall it was a great class and you will learn a lot to help you become a better communicator and speaker.
I'm a student who has taken communication twice before and failed with F's due to the professors just throwing work at us and not really helping, Dr. Curry is the first professor to actually explain things and give amazing resources. Amazing professor.
Dr. Curry was extremely organized and the detail on assignment expectations made completing the assignments so much easier! BEST online course/professor I have taken!
Dr. Curry is one of the best professors I had at Lonestar. Cannot recommend him enough. He truly "gets it" and provides a very human perspective to his lessons. The insight he provided was very useful and I genuinely learned some very useful things.
I really enjoyed this course. I took an eight week class, so it was more fast-paced and thats why there was a lot of homework. He gives good lectures and makes it relatable to the students. It is an easy course to follow through with and the professor does a good job teaching it. Would recommed!
Great professor, willing to work with you. All online content is due each week by chapter which is important. Very easy to grade papers that are more casual and personal rather than specific or formal. Would definitely take again.
Dr. Curry did a great job at providing feedback and was very quick to respond when I had a question or issue. I would highly recommend taking courses with him. Dr. Curry has a great academic background and a real world business background that gives him a well rounded view of the way things "really work" in the world.
Dr. Curry always had time to help and provided great feedback on assignments. I would highly recommend taking his classes and would definately take his classes again.
gives good, interesting lectures that you use to write a reflection (similar to a journal entry) rather than being quiz and test heavy - this structure was great for me and made the online environment clear and easy to understand
Dr. Curry is the BEST. If you have the option to take him don't hesitate!!! Easy work, easy to get a hold of. Easy grader, fun lectures, understanding, caring, no tests. Super easy A, do your work and submit it on time. I wish he could be my teacher in every subject. No regrets!!!!!
Dr. Curry is an amazing professor. He is caring and easy to work with. His video lectures make the class more exciting and fun. He is compassionate and really cares about his students and them being successful in his class. Even with all the curve balls life has thrown my way lately, he has made me want to push through this class and finish strong!
I loved Prof curry's class! I took a class for intro to comm and didn't find his class to be too much work at all. He assigned a reasonable amount of work as any class would. He did a great job of explaining to us our assignments & how we would be graded. His responses to my assignments were clear. I would pick him again in future for another class
posting videos of my speaking was the most difficult of the assignments but it helped me with presentations a lot.
Dr. Curry is an amazing professor. Love this class!
He is awesome and his lecture is unique and really realistic. Also the reflection give us the opportunity to achieve the knowledge and he take it to grade instead of regular assignment on the material. Love this class!
This professor is amazing, and I enjoyed everything he had to say and teach. The work is easy and manageable. He does have some assignments on Connect. They're a bit long but don't take longer than an hour. He also gives a lot of reflecting assignments which are nice. Overall really easy and enjoyable.
Dr. C. is an amazing professor. You can tell he really enjoys what he does and has a passion for teaching students. This is a class where you really have to do the work and take notes or else you may have a difficult time. However, if you put in the work and take the time to read/listen to materials, you will be perfectly fine.
Great class! He was super sweet and responded to any emails at a reasonable time. Coursework is not bad as long as you complete assignments on time and pay attention to the material. Extra credit is offered as well which is super nice. I recommended Professor Curry and would take him again!
Dr. Curry is an excellent speech professor, he cares about his students and is very responsive to your questions, the only reason that a student should fail is if the chapters to the online course are not turned in on time or a reflection, but good thing he gives us a choice to make up one chapter and one reflection at the end of the semester.
The 8-week class was easy and very informative. I can honestly say I feel more confident when it comes to communicating in the business world. I enjoyed the lectures, Dr. Curry's experience in the business world really explains why he assigns what he assigns, it's relevant to the real world. Great grader, do the work and you'll receive an A.
Dr. Curry gives clear expectations and generously grades assignments. Super easy online class to follow and very enjoyable lecture that can be applied to you everyday life. Not overwhelming for an 8 week course especially if you have other classes!
Dr. Curry has excellent teaching material and makes everything look easy because of how knowledgeable he is.
I took the 8-week course of professor curry 1321 and I honestly will say I wish I took I still have a lot I can learn from him. Hes such amazing professor really understanding and helps you in anything you need. Gives extra credit when needed Over all an amazing professor
i took the 8-weeks course of professor curry speech 1321, he's a great professor really life changing lessons really opens your eyes .he's really understanding when taking he's class. gives extra credit when needed and also caring, i would take him again
He made the class feel more like a discussion of your own life and experiences rather than a boring school course. I was able to learn more about communication but also more about myself. I am in advanced communications classes and none of them have impacted me like this one did.
Prof. Curry is truly a gift to students! he made this 3-week mini-class such an enjoyable experience for me. the class consists of lectures, reflections, and a connect assignment! VERY EASYYYY just do the work and you will pass.
Dr. Curry is an amazing professor, even though i had taken a 3 weeks course with him i was able to learn and understand all of his lectures. He provided us with many videos and also made thing easier by writing journal prompts as our writing assignments. I really recommend him 10/10.
Great Professor who cares about his students and what you learn. He gives AWESOME feedback on the papers/assignments that you submit. There is a lot of work and you do have to earn your grade so be prepared to read and work on papers, videos, discussions, and participate. He truly cares about his students.
Dr. Curry has outstanding teaching materials and, because of his extensive experience, makes things appear simple.
Loved this course. It was a 3-week course and it was very doable. It was so enjoyable. Loved it!
Dr. Curry was awesome! I took his 3 week mini course and while it was a lot of work in such a short period of time it was very doable! If you do the assignments and follow the instructions you will pass! Look no further! TAKE THIS CLASS! You wont regret it.
I took a 3week speech course online and this class was great! However, get ready to type and stay up to date with your daily assignments!
Dr. Curry was phenomenal!! I took his 3 mini semester class and even though I work full time I was able to do all the assignments that were required and on time for the class. After taking this class I was able to learn more about how important communications are in our every day life. I'm very glad I took this class and I would take it again.
I took his 3-week mini semester class online. There's something assigned to do almost every day, so get ready to work however, everything is still doable. The assignments that take the most time are the reflections, so get ready to write.
I took his 3 week course mini semester and it was amazing. The lectures are interesting and relatable. There are 12 reflection papers, 12 learn smart assignments, and 2 discussions. Overall, the homework is manageable and doable. He is a caring and amazing professor. He gives good feedback and also an easy grader.
Dr. Curry is an amazing professor. I took him for a three week mini-semester and there was a ton of assignments to complete in a short period of time, but he is a fair grader. Dr. Curry posts lecture videos for each lesson plan and does a great job at engaging the students. I would take Dr. Curry again in a heartbeat, you will not regret it!
Easy grader, fun lectures, understanding, caring, no tests. Super easy A, do your work and submit it on time. I wish he could be my teacher in every subject.
Dr. Curry was awesome and very understanding. I took his 3 week mini course and while it was a lot of work in such a short period of time it was very doable! There were assignments for everyday but if you do the work and turn it in on time you will pass!
Dr. cURRY IS AN AMAZING PROFESSOR. HE TRULY CARES FOR HIS STUDENTS AND WANTS US TO ACTUALLY LEARN, (WHICH I DID) HE GIVES EXTRA CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES AT THE END OF THE COURSE, ONE BEING A REPLACEMENT GRADE FOR A MISSED ASSIGNMENT. TRULY RECOMMEND. 10/10 WOULD TAKE AGAIN.
I took him for a 3 week minimester. He has checklists for you to follow so you know what you need to do that day. Reflections were 1.5 pages. No tests. Only 1 video discussion. 10/10 would recommend!
Dr. Curry gave great lectures, he always put a clip of some funny video in them so it would make you laugh and it always tied into the topic of the lecture. I would say this was my first 3-week course and it was hard only because I had to find time for all the work we had to get done. Other than that I would 100% take this class again.
The information the professor taught was very informative and useful in daily life. There is a lot of material since it is a 3-week course, but it is manageable. Try to follow the checklist provided by the professor, or else you might fall behind because the assignments do start to pill up if you don't do them accordingly.
Simply put, Dr. Curry is a fantastic professor. I took his three-week class and it was about a page and a half of writing a day. However, it is much easier than you would think and can be done in about an hour of work.
Dr. Curry is an amazing professor. His 3-week course was very manageable. His lectures are entertaining, and is very organized.
Professor Curry was amazing!!! Do the work and youll pass :)
If I had the time and energy, I would take Dr. C's courses OVER and OVER again. I loved every second of the class. Please enroll in his courses; I can write pages. If you make the best decision by enrolling, be prepared to take away some very useful and lifelong lessons from him. Would take again 1000000000000000000000000%
This has been the best class I've ever taken! The class consists of completing reflections (1 1/2 page long single space), Connect Chapters, and skills assessment (super easy!) every week. I took this as a summer class along with Geology and I was able to complete all my work without any issues. Learning material 10/10!
Dr. Curry is one of the professors I would recommend and take again. I took this class during summer a 5.5 week class course. Take his times to make videos and explained the lessons. Which are very helpful, the assignments are pretty much using Connects and writing reflections base of your own opinion, experiences, flexible, overall great feedback.
Dr. Curry's lectures were very relevant and engaging. He was very inspirational in attempting to get every student to look at the way they communicate and listen. Others in my family watched several of his lectures after I would discuss the topic with them.
I really enjoyed taking this course and Dr. Curry made it fun and interesting. I took this course online and Dr. Curry made it easy to know what the assignments were and when they were do. You should definitely take this course!
I loved Dr. Curry's class, he is an amazing teacher. He is not a tough teacher at all. I guarantee you will walk out of his class with life lessons and great communication tips and tricks.
Was a great class and had so much fun. Def would take again
Dr. C makes class enjoyable. His lectures are entertaining on top of being informative. I took the 6 week summer course and found it doable while working a full-time job on the week days.
As long as you stay on top of homework and assignments you will get an A. The lectures are interesting, hilarious, and worth watching. This was my first online class so I was nervous but Dr.Curry is a great professor and made it easy.
He is very patient with all students, he really wants his students to understand the material so he incorporates lots of fun stuff. Easy class if you do all assignments on time, he is a very nice professor would definitely take again for any other class !!! 10/10
I'll always recommend Dr. Curry if anyone needs a speech class for credit. Simple and easy but make sure you do everything as soon as possible. I had a great time.
I took this as a 6 week class and had enough time for everything. All assignments are posted at the beginning of the week and you get until Sunday at 11:59 PM to submit. If you have any issues, you can talk to him and he can accommodate for you. Be ready to watch lectures and write. The textbook is required and you will need to use it.
Stay on top of your work and you will get an A. Dr. Curry's lectures were funny and interesting. Made the class enjoyable.
Profesor Curry was one of the best professors ive had in a while. Class was beyond easy!! Do the assignments and youll pass. Mcgraw is used in this course! Easy material, lectures were fun and Prof. Curry is very respectful and supportive!
Great professor! He has very fun and engaging lectures!
Dr. Curry is one of the amazing professors at Lonestar College. He is a very understanding Professor.
Very easy and always gives feedback on your work.
I decided to take Dr.Curry's 6wk summer course and I loved it! I was able to pick up extra hours at work and still have time to do the course work. His lectures are online through youtube and are very interesting. If I could tell you to prepare for anything it would be the amount of typing for the papers we have to write (They are very easy though)
I recommend taking this professor if you take a communication-related class. His lectures are interesting, insightful, and even entertaining. As long as you get the work done, which is totally doable, you will have no problem receiving a good grade in this class.
Great Prof!! I took his online clas in the summer. Their was a lot of assignments to do each week but you had the whole week to get them done. His class consisted of smart book and reflection paper (1 1/2pg long). He does give extra credit.
Professor Curry is the best professor I have had in my college career. Assignments are clear and straight to the point. There are no extensive reading or tedious assignments. I took a 6-week course and I would take it again with professor Curry. He is NOT a boomer and can relate to us which makes this class more fun and engaging.
I took this class in a 6 week mini, very very doable. He is very clear about what all the assignments are. He gives you all the tools needed to strive in this class. He is very attentive and makes this class very relaxed not too serious. There's about 5 assignments a week But nothing too crazy or hard. I would usually do them all in one day! 10/10
Highly recommend taking this class in person if you can. Lots of engaging activities that help you understand speech and get you out of your comfort zone which builds good speech habits. Most of the grades are journal assignments, which are not graded in MLA format or need to have good grammar. Connect experience with key points and its an easy 100
Took this course online and in a 6-week mini-mester. Would highly recommend for anyone that needs their speech credit to take this course. The assignments were very easy to understand and for the reflection writing assignments, does not require MLA or perfect grammar. Just speak your mind on the paper. Also gives good feedback on the assignments.
I took Dr. Curry's six week course and I really enjoyed it. He was very engaging with his his lectures and made it easy to pay attention. I also learned a lot of simple things that I would've never thought about to help me communicate more efficiently. There was a decent amount of homework but nothing that was too difficult or unreasonable.
Dr. C is an awesome professor! I took this class as an 8 week course... Just complete the assignments and you will do just fine!! He requires some reflection assignments that are a page and a half in length, but you just write what's on your mind. He is not a tough grader, grammar isn't an issue! Take this class if your needing a speech credit!!!
Had Professor Curry, was hands down the best teacher I've ever had hands down in all of my student career. I plan to take him as my public speaking teacher next year. He is a very understanding and reasonable professor, as well as very knowledgable in his field and very adaptable.
I had Dr. Curry for an 8-week in-person class. He is funny and personable. He keeps the students engaged and interacting in class. He is very clear about the homework so there is no confusion. It was an 8-week class so there was more homework each week than a 16-week, but it wasn't difficult work. Overall, a great class and a great teacher.
He replies to emails very fast and provides good and helpful information. Take this class!
Overall, Professor Curry did a great job teaching this course! Would definately recommend this class if a person is looking for a good professor. He did a great job explaining what was due, and was a very clear communicator!
Take. this. class. you won't regret it. Dr. Curry is the best teacher i've ever had. He genuinely cares about his students and wants them to succeed. The textbook he uses is excellent, very engaging. His lectures are awesome. Overall, a great class, I learned so much about speech and communication!
Dr. Curry was by far one of the best professors I have ever had. Dr. Curry is very organized and had D2L set up in a way that is easily navigated.

I took the 8-week course class online with Dr. Curry. He has been an awesome professor. His lectures videos are very helpful to get you going with the work. And his very organize with the materials. Having Dr. curry as my teacher; has helped learn more about speech and communication.
Just need to finish the work
Dr. Curry is a great professor that did not fail to deliver in giving the students in our class an excellent experience. Each day going to class was a joy due to the interactive activities and having plenty of fun learning experiences. He considers every student, and you will pass if you dedicate some time to straightforward assignments.
Overall an amazing professor and by far my favorite. He not only cares for his students but makes sure that everything he teaches we know how to apply them in the real world. Definitely a unique personality, I don't think I have ever seen or had a teacher be so passionate about what they do and have it be reflected in all that they do. 8wk class.
Great professor work load is easy and manageable.
Dr.Curry is one of the best professors I've come across in the last 3 years I've been studying at LS college and from all the different campuses. I had class in persona and his lectures were so much fun I looked forward to class.
Dr. Curry is one of the best professors in LS college that I've had in the last 3 years at LS from different locations. He really shows he cares for his students and puts effort into his lectures. His rubric explains everything clearly and you should do well as long as you do all the assignments which is easy work for the week.
Very kind professor. Gives great feedback and is a quick grader. I took the 8 week course and it was steady but enjoyable. He makes speech fun. Take his class, you won't regret it.
Dr. Curry is a wonderful professor. I took his class during a difficult time in my life, and he was incredibly understanding and helpful. His lectures are so much fun, and he has a talent for keeping his students engaged. He is hilarious and lighthearted. He is also super organized and his D2L content is superb. I could not recommend him enough.

Dr.Curry is a great professor. His class is refreshing and pretty easy to navigate. Personally, I found his class easy. There is quite a lot of writing in this class, but they are reflections, not essays. I'm taking this class as an 8-week course, and I have enjoyed it so much. He doesn't give tests!
Dr. Curry is such a fantastic professor! I loved taking his class and it taught me a lot about the way I express myself and how I can maintain healthy relationships. His class is very organized and his lectures are specifically to the reflection assignments. He is also very kind and helpful! Would highly recommend taking Dr. Curry's class!
His lectures are nothing less than amazing and work is very feasible to get done.
Dr. Curry is a hoot and makes learning his subject a breeze! The assignments take no more than maybe three days out of the week on average to complete and the lectures are engaging/easy to listen to. This class will teach you some great communication tips and even some psychological information that will help to understand the subject.
I hope that the professor can approve on answering emails more efficiently.
The online course is very organized. It's an essay weekly, which is a page-and-a-half single-spaced and connect assignment. Its time consuming for sure, especially if you're a full-time student, but doable.
His lectures and assignments are easy. Assignments can be lengthy which made it a little difficult at times. He does offer extra credit and will give you the opportunity at the end of the semester to make up whatever assignment you were not able to turn in. He responds to emails in a timely manner. A very nice and caring professor.
Dr Curry's lectures were extremely interesting and he used humor to keep my interest. The assignments were all very easy and quickly finished. I would recommend Dr Curry to everyone and take him over and over if I could.
Dr. Curry is an awesome professor. He cares for his students and his lectures were fun to watch and they were very informative. The class was very organized and he gives great feedback on the reflection assignments. I enjoyed watching his lectures-they helped me learn and understand the material better. I would take him again.
Dr. Curry is truly an amazing professor. His assignments were really easy but they were time-consuming. However, this could be because I was taking an 8-week course. He is not a tough grader if you're following the instruction and he also provides his students with helpful feedback.
Professor Curry is very clear about the assignments and the grading criteria. He is also an understanding teacher and his online lectures explain the subject matter in a very clear way. He is a great teacher.

This professor was great! I would take him again if I could. His assignments are very clear and he is quick to respond to emails or feedbacks.
He's very organize on his works for a week, NOT a tough grader They're not difficult, NO TESTS OR QUIZZES. The time consuming part is the McGraw hwk, there are just a lot of questions but NOT HARD. There're no presentations or recording yourself (Just the introduction video you have to record yourself).
Anyone taking this class should get through it in a breeze. Yes, the was a lot of writing, but he wasn't strict on how we expressed ourselves in our writing.
This class was good. There are several writing assignments, but the format is pretty easy. Dr. Curry posted lectures that were interesting and informative. The syllabus provided was not accurate, but overall the class was reasonable and extra credit was available. I would recommend this course to others.

Dr. Curry is Awesome! He is very knowledgeable, and I love how caring he is when it comes to his students. He will definitely set you up for success and we need more professors like him.
Best teacher to take if you struggle or have a heavy workload
one of the easiest classes youll ever have to take. you wont regret taking his class fr. i actually really enjoyed his class and his assignments.
This professor was great. There is a decent amount of work for this class but it's straightforward from the beginning and fairly easy if you pay attention. There is a total of 4 speeches in addition to online textbook work. He always gives great feedback after each speech on your strengths and weaknesses. Would highly recommend and take again.
Professor Curry is an amazing professor. I took his 3-week online course. Easy A. All you need to do is the work and you will succed. He gives good feedback as well.
I took this course as an online mini-mester this fall and I have had a great experience honestly! He is very transparent and responds to your emails if you ever have questions etc. He gives verbal feedback on our speeches, the online modules were super easy to follow. The only challenge is you NEED 4 people present for each speech recording.
Amazing professor. Took his 3 week minimester. Even in the short time span, I never felt overwhelmed with the amount of work. He responds to questions very quickly and provides in depth feedback for speeches. Not a hard class if you put in some effort and do all the assignments. I highly recommend taking this professor.

Dr. Curry had great lecture videos that incorporated humor. He is clear on instructions for assignments and is easy to access through email. He also provides good feedback on speech assignments.

Dr. Curry is understanding, and his speeches are easy to understand, and he gives you enough time to complete your speech. Everything is graded fast and easy. All in all, anyone taking speech should take his class.

The best class ever! I wish I could talk him for all my classes.
I took Dr. Curry's class during the mini semester so the class was 3 weeks. It was a bit hard for me since it was during the holidays but overall great class! You did NOT need to purchase the book or code, the McGraw Connect literally gives you a 2 week free trial so you can technically do all your homework before the trial ends. He's great!
I took Professor Curry for an 8-week online class I took a speech class previously and wanted to get a better grade so I decided to take him for speech and he was such an awesome teacher. I would definitely recommend him for this class, as long as you reach the requirements of the class then you can get an A, plus he offers extra credit!
awesome professor- wish he taught every ENGL/SPCH class.
I took Dr. Curry for an 8 week course. And he is a great professor. I wish he could teach all speech/english classes. His lectures were explain well and understood. Do the work and the chapters and you'll get an A in this class. I'll take him again.
Dr. Curry was an amazing professor and his class was very easy. Stuck to the syllabus which made staying organized for his class easy and the work was easy. His lectures were great and very detailed. He was also great at communicating when we had issues or questions. I really enjoyed his class.
Dr. Curry is an incredible communicator and an even better teacher. He has created an environment that is very respectful yet open. He is not afraid to share personal anecdotes that might help the student understand an example of a subject he is teaching in class. He creates opportunities for students to make up work, or to do extra credit.
Dr. Curry is an amazing professor, I took one of his 8 week classes and it has been one of the easiest classes I have taken.
Great professor! You are required to buy the McGraw Hill. There's an essay every week but it shouldn't be problem very easy! I would recommend him!
Great professor! Easy class. You are required to buy the McGraw Hill. There's an essay every week but it shouldn't be problem very easy! I would recommend him!
I've enjoyed both classes taking with Professor Curry. He promptly fixed any online issues, and finding the assignments was easy. I would certainly recommend taking his classes.
Dr.Curry is a great professor; his lectures are well-explained and understood. I took his eight-week class; it was fun and easy. You can do great in class if you pay attention to the requirements for each assignment. However, a McGraw hill code is required for this course if you cannot do all the homework within the two-week free trial.
Dr. Curry is an amazing professor. His online content is extremely organized and structured well. If you do all of the work, you will succeed, and I would highly recommend taking his class.
Dr. Curry is a fantastic teacher with an awesome personality that makes class enjoyable. Class with him doesn't even feel like class; more of friends, just hanging out. He doesn't grade hard at all, and all you have to do is do the schoolwork, and that's about it, and you'll pass. I took a 8 week class, and it was worth it.
If you are afraid of speaking in public or in front of a group of people take Dr. Curry, he does not require any speeches. Most of his work consists of Mchill Connect assignments, discussions, and reflections. You will love communication at the end of this course and will leave with a different opinion of what communication is.
Dr. Curry is a wonderful professor. This was my second course with Dr. Curry and I already feel like I am a better communicator. I wish he offered more courses or even webinars. Totally recommend to anyone who is interested in becoming an effective communicator.
He is very easy and awesome, not a hard grader. No midterm no final needed. Hw and essays are easy to earn A. His lectures are very details and helpful for your essays and communication. Highly recommend this professor!
I've grown a great interest in interpersonal communications, and I can thank Dr. Curry for that. He has a great sense of humor which really make his online lectures worth watching. I took this as an 8-week and felt anxious at first, but it was a manageable course as a full-time student. I would definitely recommend this professor to everyone.
Dr.Curry is amazing at what he does! He made me see that there is so much more to communication. He gives out 3-5 assignments each week, but they are all very easy! I would 110% take his class again.
Dr. Curry is an amazing professor. The lectures are organized and well-explained and his personality makes the class enjoyable. i would definitely recommend taking his class.
Professor Curry is the best! You will not regret taking his interpersonal communications class! Weekly reflections, weekly connect assignments and weekly quizzes. Everything is due Sunday night, which makes it easy!
A great class to take as assignments can be done at your own time, assignments are explained thoroughly and are fairly graded. Would recommend!
I couldn't have picked a better professor to take speech with! In addition to Dr. curry's passionate, humoral, and overall amazing personality, the layout of the class ensures your success. There's weekly lectures, reflections, and connect assignments which are all due Sunday night of that week allowing you to have a nice structure of the class.
Dr.Curry makes learning enjoyable. I never dreaded going to his class. He is hilarious and has a sense of humor that he incorporates while teaching. Class participation is a thing in his style, but there is nothing to feel anxious about; he will help you not be afraid to speak up. He does a lot of class activities . You should take his class!
Dr. Curry is an amazing professor. I am definitely so glad I took his course, you will not regret taking his interpersonal communications class. His class consists of weekly reflections and connect assignments, which was actually really manageable for being an 8-week course that I took. All assignments are due on Sunday which makes it great!
Very easy 100 if you just participate and try on the assignments. Not a tough grader at all. Be prepared to watch 25+ minute lectures and write a paper every week. Chill teacher though, would definitely take again.
Great professor, very caring, considerate, and has engaging materials to work through each week. It's not a challenging course; you get what you put into it.
Amazing feedback that makes written papers easier and his teachings present practical application including job application. I very much recomend!
He is funny and creative in all in lectures and activities it makes being int the class fun
He is fun and creative when it comes to activities and lectures in the class, making the learning experience fun and exciting.
Dr. Curry has great lecture videos that are informative and fun. He really cares about your success and gives you practical tools you act actually use in your career. The assignments are easy, but make sure you keep up with the smartbook quizzes that are due at the end of the class.
This is probably the easiest class I've taken. There are no tests, or quizzes, and no final. You are not required to read the textbook but you do have connect assignments almost every week that are graded for completion. You can tell Dr. Curry actually cares about his students and their success.
Dr. Curry is not like most professors I've had. I do think that he can be very unprofessional as to the language he uses. I don't want to attend a college class and listen to my professor cuss. Besides that, his ability to teach is good. Be prepared for the phrase "Field of Experiences" cause you'll be talking a lot about it.
Am easy A and a great professor, even online this class will feel more personal, with a light load of work, an absolutely great professor.
Dr.curry is my best professor, his lectures are amazing, he helped me a lot to improve on many things. He did a great job in his role, no tests or quizzes, just reflection and connect assignments every week. Take his class!!!!
The course was easy and not heavy at all just make sure to do your work and not procrastinate. He gives very good feedback and quickly responds to your emails.
Dr. Curry has been one of my favorite professors. He makes class fun and engaging he is down-to-earth and pretty funny. He cares about his students and their grades. I highly recommend taking this class, do the work, participate in class, and you will pass.
I had an amazing experience with Professor Curry as my instructor. His classes were engaging and kept me interested every day throughout the 8-week semester in the spring. Although there was a substantial amount of homework assigned each week, I never regretted taking his class as he always graded fairly. I would take a class with him again!
His attitude is the best during the class.
Professor Curry was definitely a teacher i would take again. He's playful and understanding and always has the best way of communicating or teaching objectives he wants you to learn. He gives real world examples and provides hands on activities so that what you're learning actually sticks.
Dr. Curry makes class super fun, and I'm actually kinda sad that class is ending. Classes are almost like a big discussion with a few games/activities sprinkled in. 12 one-page essays. 3 fun quizzes graded for completion. 12 connect assignments. 2 extra credit opportunities. Dr. Curry deserves his teacher of the year award and respects introversion
Take him if you need to take SPCH 1318. Easy class.
It's very evident that Dr. Curry is passionate about not only his students, but the importance of communication as a whole. The workload can be a bit heavy during the mini while keeping up with other classes, but it is doable and not hard either. Finding the time to manage the assignments before the due date/time was the biggest challenge (for me).
Professor Curry is an exceptional educator who possesses a rare combination of subject expertise, passion, and dedication to student success. Their teaching style, knowledge, and commitment to fostering an inclusive learning environment create an ideal atmosphere for students to thrive.
I wholeheartedly recommend Professor Curry to anyone seeking an outstanding educational experience, as their impact extends far beyond the confines of the classroom
Professor Curry went beyond simply sharing educational videos for the week's lesson, by providing additional chances for students to earn credit and succeed in his course. I enrolled in his 8-week course and it was relatively easy to handle. Good teacher.
This professor is the best one I have take in so far. Easy A+ if you do the assigments
Dr. Rick Curry's online class is formatted to where everything is due on Sunday at 11:59 pm. However, if you like a more structured class, he has a daily to-do list to follow. It is suggested you get assignments done that day, but it is not mandatory.
The professor was great! His lectures were interesting, and I liked that the reflections were easy because they focused on your personal life. What I liked most about his class is that I learned so much information that has helped me improve my communication skills.
While there was a lot of reading due to it being a 3 week class, he fairly distributed the work we needed to do by days. His video lectures were required but still a great help.
I took the 3-week class in May and, while it was a lot of work typical of this short of a class, it was doable. Nothing was excessively difficult and the expectations were reasonable. As long as you put in genuine effort, you should do well in this course. It can be time-consuming though, so be careful.
Dr. Curry's class was great, his lectures very clear and easy to understand.
He's a great professor and puts a lot of thought & effort into his lecture videos. I took his class as a minimester for 3 weeks online and its pretty durable. I really recommend him as a professor! I enjoyed his class and I wish I would've taken his class in person.
Hands down the best professor I have taken! I was nervous about taking this class but Professor Curry made this class a memorable class. He isn't boring and knows how to make learning fun. I took him in a 3-week mini semester online there is a lot of work but the amount of work is manageable. If you are needing a speech credit take him!
this is my favorite professor, i would take him for any class
The professor used a relatable approach in explaining the course work that was interactive and interesting. I liked the references he used in the chapter lectures that made the course easier to understand and take notes on.
Dr. Curry is a great professor! I would highly recommend his class. I took his minister for 3 weeks and it was a lot of work but doable. He separated the assignments for that week into days so it's easy to keep up with and helps you not get overwhelmed with the coursework due for that week. He's not a hard grader. Do the work and you'll get an A.
He is an amazing professor, he truly cares and puts a lot of effort into his lectures. There's a good amount of writing, but they are easy! It's more like journaling than essay format. I took him for a mini-mester and it was very manageable. No test or quizzes! Very much recommend.
Make sure to schedule your assignments based on availability. He provides amazing lectures that you can then use on your assignments.
Dr. Curry's lectures are inspirational and his assignments help you reflect back on your communication skills. I usually hate public speaking, but after taking this course, I feel much more at ease with it. I definitely see a big improvement on my communication skills.
Too Dr. Curry for three-week mini semester, and do not regret it. Great professors, and easy class to achieve if you put in the efforts.
This is the best professor ever.
I honestly enjoyed Dr. Curry's class and learned so much! His lectures are so good! JUST TAKE HIM, you won't regret it!
Professor Curry made SPCH 1311 relatively simple and allowed me to completed a needed class while learning a few things along the way. I took the course over summer and although there were many (12) short papers, he is not a tough grader and just wants to see you provide a response to his prompt. Would take again, Easy A if you complete the work.
He's a laid-back teacher, but do not take him for granted. You all would love his lecture videos because they are funny, in my own opinion. As long as you do the work, you guys will get along, and the assignments are not even that bad. Just do them and read the chapters because they are essential.
I would recommend this course to anyone who has to take speech in their degree plan. Mr. Curry is verry lenient and actually cares for is students, His lectures really made me sit back and think of the parts of my life that could use better speech.
Dr. Curry is one of the best professors I have taken. His class is simple and insightful, and he really wants the best for his students. He posts grades in a timely manner and provides excellent feedback as well. His lectures are funny yet deep, and I definitely learned more about my own and others' forms of communication. Easy and educational!
easy grader and the assignments weren't that hard
The connect assignments are tedious but he's a easy grader. There's a lot of work but they're easy. Overall not bad
This is one of the easiest classes I've taken, not because he doesn't give any work but because of his attention to detail. He makes all his assignments very clear and what he is looking for. He provides the resources to understand what you are learning. The class is easy if you put the time to do the work. The work does not require mental strain.
He was a good professor and gave clear instructions as he made videos for all the assignments.
The professor gave lectures which helps a lot more than just reading from a textbook or power points. Even though this was an online course, it was manageable to handle. He enters grades each week, so you know where you are at. The professor is very understanding!
2 weekly reflection about what was spoken in class. Extra credit, and you're able to do makeup work. Theres no essays or tests, just reflections and Mc Graw-Hill connect assignments. Very much recommend Dr. Curry.
Dr. Curry has been very supportive and encouraging when I was feeling down, and I highly suggest sticking with him if you're planning on taking a class about communication!
Dr. Curry makes communication class interesting to learn and be invested in. He cares about our learning! Taking this course can be used in our everyday life to improve our own communication skills. He gives great feedback and you can reach out to him if you need any help. I recommend taking this course with him!
Took SPCH 1311 for a 6 week summer semester, and this class was great. There are no tests, and its all reflection papers and inquizibles.

Dr. Curry was a fantastic professor; I am glad to have taken his class. His teaching style is refreshing, and as someone just getting into the college lifestyle, it feels great to have had a professor like him. His course work wasn't hard at all and was like daily journaling.
Dr. Curry is one of the professors I have ever had. I took him over the summer, and his class is very easy; there were no speeches for me, and he was very understanding to his students. He cares about his students and is funny. There are Connect assignments, and there are about 2-3 reflections due every week, but they are not difficult. Take him!!
If you need a professor for this SPCH 1311 course, Dr. Curry is your choice. Currently taking this course over the summer and with many unforeseen circumstances, Dr. Curry was still flexible and compassionate to allow student success. The work is doable and straightforward.
Professor Curry genuinely cares. I took this class as a blow-off, but I was met with assignments that were genuinely thought through and great. They challenge you to think in a way that is not just an unending stream of assignments. It truly allowed me to learn and be better. Don't take this class for an Easy A, do it because you'll learn.10/10
easy grader! A very good professor! there are weekly quizzes and all his assignments are easy reflections. just keep in mind I took the 8-week class and I had 4 classes this semester. the work is a lot to submit in a short period so get prepared to plan ahead. he also provides 2 make-up assignments at the end of the semester and extra credits.
This was one of my favorite classes. This was a course I only took for the credit but ended up really enjoying it. It was very interesting and easy. Professor Curry opens up assignments for each week and makes it a check list to make it even easier.
Dr. Curry was super easy and nice
Dr. Curry is a great professor, and his lectures are great as well. Make sure not to get behind on the McGraw Hill Connect assignments; they are very time-consuming.

He was very good and cared about learning
I took this in the 3-week winter semester. The professor is great at setting the expectations for the class from the beginning.

Take this class with him, you won't regret it!!

Dr. Curry is a person who you can tell has a real passion for his work. I am a Spanish speaker who recently came to the country and this class has helped me to lose my fear of speaking English in general. The teacher helps you to improve your ability to share your message and that's what makes the class fun. Highly recommended!
Mr. Curry is one of the best professors at Lone Star College. I took him after a friend recommended it to me. Time went by, I didn't even look at the clock in class. Mr. Curry's class was amusing and entertaining. this is my last semester, my only regret is not taking more classes with him
This teacher is good, and he knows it. He has the personality of a frat boy in the best way possible. Take his class in person, you won't regret it. The assignments are like therapy, so you won't mind doing them. I took the 8 wks and lowkey wish I did 16 wks instead because I don't want it to end. 10/10 would recommend.
I absolutely LOVED this class! Dr. Curry is such a loving and hilarious professor. I took his 8-week SPCH 1311 class and I enjoyed it so much. He gives great advice and cares about his students. I DEFINITELY recommend taking Dr. Curry!!
This professor always gave great feedback after we turned in our papers, which we had to write every week. He's not a hard grader and I would consider him to be very easy-going. I appreciated all the videos he would have every week as our lecture and how he always made them entertaining to watch, making it easy to learn the subject of the week.
Dr. Curry sets clear expectations for his online class! The modules are easy to understand and he gives detailed instructions for homework and other assignments. Grading comes back quickly and he gives great and meaningful feedback! Took as an 8-week online class and it was very manageable!
I would absolutely retake this class. I appreciated the setup of the class, there are 1 1/2 page reflections (no double space) about every week, some reading with questions (you can answer them without reading, it just takes time), and lectures to watch. The class is also easy to manage with other harder ones.

Truly enjoyed Professor Curry's class, as long as you participated in the discussions and reflections he was a generous grader. I enjoyed the reflections which were like journal entries. And even being a condensed 8 week class, I was able to easily do all assignments on top of a full course load. Take professor Curry, he is fantastic!!
Dr. Curry is a really amazing professor he is very knowledgeable and also gives out extra credit!!!
This is an online class. There were weekly assignments in two parts: Part 1 and Part 2. Generally, two in each part, so that is 4 per week. This was a short session, do not miss deadlines. Follow the two part check list and don't forget to do all the Connect HW in McGraw Hill. I highly recommend and respect Dr. C for speech. Look no further!
Dr. Curry is an amazing professor. His class is very easy if you put in the work. His assignments do require a lot of introspection but I learned alot about me. I would definitely take him again!!!
Great professor give a lot of work be definitely would take his class again, also he make sure have everything you need for the class.
Was scared to take this course because of my fear of speaking. However, the professor makes you feel very comfortable and provides excellent examples. He is not a tough grader, but does want you to put in some effort. The weekly reflections implore you to dive deep and share your inner thoughts. It was very therapeutic. Highly recommend!

I was skeptical about taking this class at first. However, Professor Curry "welcome intro" made me feel at ease. I love the fact that his assignments are clear and easy to follow. I like how each topic that we had to write about was interesting and that he provides POSITIVE feedback. If you fail this class, I don't see how.
Dr. C is one of the best professors I have ever had! His lectures are very interesting and as long as you do the work, you will pass. One thing I loved the most was the feedback. SUPER EASY! TAKE DR. C CLASS!:)
Professor Curry is an excellent teacher and his lectures are very interesting, If all my professors were good like him more people would love going to school. GREAT PROFESSOR and very knowledgeable.
Dr. Curry provided clear guidelines for his class & is exactly the kind of teacher you want as a student. With a speech class there is anxiety about public speaking. He did an excellent job of making everyone feel comfortable. He makes the material accessible & is highly recommended for those seeking genuine improvement in communication skills.
Dr. Curry is a great! The workload was manageable and the writing assignments were very therapeutic if you can believe it. I have never had such an easy time writing assignments before and he always had great feedback. There are reading assignments and modules but it is very easy to answer the questions if you just listen to his lectures.
This is my best professor!! I got an A for this course, he is caring for everyone and he always give us a good feedback for your assignment. Take him!!!
Dr. Curry is an amazing professor, that strives for each student to have learned something memorable from his class.
Empathetic. Reasonable. Relatable. Decorated. If these are what you expect from your professor, than Dr. Curry is the one for you.
Dr. Curry's lectures were incredibly inspirational, his ability to structure the course in such a clear and organized manner made it easy to follow along and stay engaged. The opportunity for extra credit and makeup assignments in the final week truly showcases his dedication to ensuring every student's success. Highly recommend!
Easy class! As long as you do the work, you should be fine!
Doctor Curry is one of the best professors I've had the privilege to learn from in this class. Being my first online course, I had no expectations coming in, however, he set an amazing standard as to what an online class should be: An easy to navigate, easy to learn, and fun to try course. Please take his class! A $60 should be no obstacle.
One of the most organized and well-structured classes I've taken! Dr. Curry has amazing and interesting Lectures that contain useful information and explanations for communication. Taken the mini-semester with Dr. Curry, and it was a great way to advance; just stay on top of your assignments, which are listed by day, and you'll finish in no time!
Great teacher. Easy lectures, a lot of journal entry type papers so easier. Easy grades if you do the homework.
Dr. Curry's lectures may be long, but they are very informative and great for helping you understand the topic. Be sure to keep up with your day-to-day work because if you don't it is hard to complete it on the very last day. Definitely would take this class again!
I took the three week summer session with Dr. Curry, and it was a very smooth class to take. I was nervous about the load, and don't get me wrong there is a big one, but Dr. Curry finds a way to split it up and make it as easy as possible to complete the work.
The most streamlined online class I have experienced. Dr. C really cares and he makes the class very interesting with his lectures. Great feed back from the work submitted.
Dr Curry is awesome! You do need to buy the textbook, but his work isn't complicated. He gives great feedback and is super clear on instructions. Definitely recommend him and his classes!
In Dr.Curry the work he assigns is fun I found to be very relaxing and he explains everything in his videos or its in the readings. The topics are so engaging, you'll find yourself actually wanting to learn more. When finishing the course you will walk out feeling more knowledge and have better understanding of the world.#
Dr.Curry makes this class very interesting and simple. His lectures are beneficial and entertaining. He gives great feedback on your reflections. I would 100% recommend Dr.Curry if you want to take SPCH 1311.
Dr. Curry is an amazing professor! He makes the class fun, but informal. His lectures are very straight forward and simple. He responds to emails and messages very quickly. His grading criteria is also very straight forward. He grades assignments very quickly. I 100% recommend Dr. Curry for future students who plan on taking SPCH 1311!
Having Dr.Curry as my professor was an amazing experience! He's a great teacher and I enjoy how he responds relatively quickly to any question if asked. In addition, I'm taking a mini-lesson which can get stressful at times but Dr.Curry is always sending out motivational reminders and resources if needed. Overall, Dr.Curry is a fantastic teacher!
Dr. Curry is a great professor! His Speech1311 course has a clear structure with very informational and straightforward lectures. For the 3 week mini-semester, the textbook is optional but must be completed within its trial period. Great professor overall.
The Class is pretty simple, since It was a 3 week course of course there was some rigorous actives but he made all assignments due at the end of the week so It made everything easier. Would take again any class of his. 10/10 Experience.

Great class to be in and an amazing teacher to have!
Dr Curry was my first college professor and I did he exceeded my expectations. The assignments were not to hard and the class was very easy to understand. He never assigned to many assignments and was always very caring and helpful. Definitely recommend if you want a fun and easy going professor.
Professor Curry was an amazing professor. He explained the material really well in the lectures and I understood the material easily. The video Professor Curry posted for the material made it easy to understand since it was virtual and I am a visual learner, making it easier to understand everything easily.
This class was made very easy because of Dr. Curry. Not only is he funny but he also gives awesome feedback. If I had to take this class again I would 100% want him to be my professor again.
His lectures were really helpful and interesting every time! He was super helpful and had very clear instructions on everything.
This professors has videos for each lecture and the reflections you write really help to understand the topic. He is available most of the time and will most likely answer you if you send an email to him. He will use McGraw Hill and you have to answer the questions but this is also something that will expand your knowledge on the topic.
Speech 1311 Online 6 wk: Dr.Curry formats his assignments in a clear, straightforward layout with two checklists consisting of an average of seven assignments; the list includes a lecture video per checklist. He usually gives feedback/grades around two or three days after the assignment closes. Reflections require personal experiences to be told.
It was an amazing experience to have Dr.Curry as my teacher.
He was very helpful if I emailed him his response was almost immediate. The course topics were explained very well during lectures. Never a confusing moment. Very enjoyable class overall.

I took Dr. Curry's class over the summer for a speech credit and I have to say, this is one of the best and most informational classes I've ever taken.

I enjoyed participating in this course during the summer. I liked how Dr. Curry's reflection assignments aid students in applying learned techniques into our own lives, and overall, I liked how all the assignments and lectures were so engaging. Dr. Curry is always looking out for his students' best interests, which makes him a great professor.
Professor Curry was one of the best people I have ever taken a class with.

I would recommend this class because it is an easy A.
Professor Curry was one of my first professors and I am very happy he was. He was very clear about how to complete assignments and when they are due. He is also very caring and understands complications. Overall he is very easy to communicate with and gives good feedback.

Took Dr.Curry's eight week course. The weekly assignments were fast, laidback, and easy to complete. I took this class because Dr.Curry's RateMyProf aligned with a friend's praise who previously took it. Dr.Curry genuinely cares about his students' education and found ways to make assignments fun and casual.
Dr. Curry, an incredible professor, made the class so engaging and valuable that I'm leaving it feeling sad that it's over. He helped me understand that communication is more important than I initially thought, and I'm genuinely grateful for the experience.

Dr. Richard Curry was an awesome professor! He made learning Business and Professional Communication fun and easy. I would take another course with Dr. Curry.

Dr. C is very knowledgeable and respectful to all students. This was one of my top classes! I really appreciate the feedback Dr. C gives on graded assignments. Overall, this class was a blast and I've learned so much about myself and things to implement in my professional career. I can't recommend Dr. C's class enough!
Dr. Curry's class was by far one of my favorites at Lone Star. The assignments, due dates, and explanations are clear. In addition to this, the feedback we receive from Dr. C is helpful and even leads to additional reflection. There are papers to write, but they are reflection papers and feel more like journal entries. I highly recommend DR. C!

Very easy class just have to pay attention would recommend taking his class i would 100% re-take his class.
Dr. Curry is a professor who likes to encourage participation in a very interactive way, in which he entertains his students a lot and treats them as a friend. I attended his business communication course, in which he encourages students to lose their fear of speaking and improve the way we communicate. I highly recommend taking a course with him!

Great professor, very understanding, and offers extra credit opportunities.
This professor is great! He's willing to work with you if life throws you a curveball. He's understanding and compassionate
The Professor's lectures are interesting and are connected to realistic situations where different styles of communication is important. He gives students opportunities to catch up if they fall behind because he knows life happens. Can reach him outside of class and he sets up the lessons for students to learn by their own experiences as examples.
Dr. Curry is a great teacher with an amazing class. Was very fun and I learned a lot, I would recommend him highly to anyone looking for a wonderful experience.
I took SPCH 1315 online with Professor Curry during a 3-week wintermester. He is a great instructor, providing a well-structured and engaging learning environment. His course includes connect assignments, public speeches, and discussion posts. He provides excellent feedback on speeches and clearly wants his students to succeed. Highly recommend!
Great Professor! I took Dr. C for 3-week during the winter minister and actually learned a lot! would definitely recommend it.
Dr. Curry is a great teacher, he truly has learned how to make a 3 week course over the holidays very laid back and accessible for traveling kids. He doesn't expect you to be a great speaker but he does expect you to try, and the presentations are attainable and not too hard to do. I would definitely take him again.
Really nice guy, enjoyed the class and learned a lot in three weeks even if it is online. 100% doable just stay on top of things
This professor made his expectations very clear from the start. He was very welcoming towards all his students, despite us being online. His feedback from our speeches came back quickly and he took his time to say what we could work on. He was very fair on grading. Responded to emails quickly. Kept the lectures interesting but overall a great guy!
Dr. Curry is an outstanding Instructor. I took his course as a winter mini-semester over the holidays. Expectations for the students were clearly stated. As long as you put in the effort and make assignment due dates, the class was very fun and doable. Extra Credit was offered, and his communication response time was very prompt!
Dr. Curry's class is well structured and allows freedom. We had 4 major speeches and a majority of our work each week came from the prep going into those, along with some discussion posts and McGraw Hill connect assignments. It was just the right amount of work and Dr.Curry was very clear with instructions and materials!
Dr. Curry is an amazing professor! Although the amount of work can be daunting because it was a 3 week mini-mester, he organizes it in way that doesn't feel like you need to give up your whole life to do well in his class! He provides clear grading outlines and gives many opportunities to help your grade! Definitely take his class!!
Really good professor and very helpful with feedback aimed toward only making you a better Public Speaker. Make sure if you take this online to have 4 people around at all times to have an audience for your speech or it will not be graded. Besides that the class was well put together and was easy going.
Very Good, and helpful throughout out course, but requires a lot of participation at all times.
Took in the winter minimester, and he was very helpful and gave plenty of feedback but it required constant work and participation
Great Professor! Responds in a timely manner and really wants you to learn and benefit from the course.
Richard Curry is an amazing instructor. He cares for all his students and his feedback is very good and is actual feedback. He wants to help you improve. Although this class is online he did an amazing job at being available and answering any questions needed. I absolutely recommend this class.
All the assignments were clear to follow. If you have any doubts or questions, he will reply as soon as possible. He provided very good feedback so you could continue improving. If you keep up with the assignments, you will do great in the class!
This was a very relaxing class to take. I'm not a fan of doing McGraw Hill assignments, but the meat of his work is in his doing his discussion boards and written reflections. I often found myself looking forward to doing his assignments because of how it felt less like work and more like writing in a diary. I would take a class with him again.
Absolutely genuine and has respect for his students!
he is very good with his lectures and gives you the chance to make up 2 assignments at the end very nice feedback and has fair grading.
Straight forward and easy class would take him again.

What i found valuable was the individual feedback professor Curry gives, he genuinely wants the student to understand the material. His lecture videos were structured well. Would recommend his class.
This class was very easy overall however you must put the dedication to receive a good grade . Every assignment that was given was based on your experience and being able to interact with fellow classmates .Just complete all assignments by the due date and you will be fine . Professor also is good on responding emails and is very understanding.
Dr. Curry is an outstanding instructor, and I highly recommend him to anyone considering his class. One of the things that stands out the most is his excellent communication skills. He is incredibly responsive to emails and forum posts, always answering questions in a timely and thorough manner.

He is great and flexible with you, will help you if you need any help.
What an outstanding teacher! 10/10 would recommend.

The 100% of students that would take his class again speaks for itself! Great Professor!!
My favorite professors! The class is very easy and laid-back no heavy lectures or overwhelming assignments. Everything is clear and light. You do need to pay for McGraw Hill access to complete weekly assignments, but they're simple and mostly just involve reading. As long as you stay on top of the work, it's an easy A. Highly recommend!
I would 100% take another course with Dr.Curry. While there are many assignments due weekly, they were easy assignments. This class taught me a lot, and felt like therapy because of all the self reflection that interpersonal communications requires. Dr. Curry gives thoughtful feedback and works with you if you need help. Extra credit available
Dr. Curry gives exceptional feedback and this course really improved my communication skills. Fantastic professor! Must take.

Dr. Curry is very clear on what he expects! His class is easy, but you do learn a lot! Reflections every week which feel like you are writing in a personal diary. I really enjoyed this course! Take him!
I would recommend everyone to taking Dr. Curry communication course. The 8 week course was easy to follow and easy assignments every week.
I definitely recommend Dr. Curry! Especially as a mostly online student, I've come across my fair share of teachers who teach strictly from a textbook and have no lectures. Luckily, he gives weekly lectures that are really interesting. He wants you to be successful and learn something valuable. He also gives extra credit opportunities!!!
Dr. Curry is super supportive and wants his students to succeed. He opens all assignments at the start of the week and gives until Sunday at 11:59 PM to complete them. Work includes chapters, discussions, and reflections. He gives helpful feedback and is easy to reach. Highly recommend!
Dr. Curry is great! His lectures and instructions are super easy to follow and all assignments are pretty straightforward. He also gives extra credit opportunities for those that missed out on a couple reflections or other assignments. If you do all your work on time then you will be fine.
Dr. Curry is truly one of the best professors I had. His assignments aren't difficult and you have a good amount of time to get them done. If you're taking other classes as well, just make sure to manage your time well and simply just do your best! He cares about your success, you just have to show that you're trying and that you're working for it!
"Dr. Curry's SPCH 1315 class was a fantastic experience. He clearly communicated course concepts, encouraged active participation, and provided thoughtful feedback on speeches. My public speaking skills improve throughout the semester. If you're looking to build confidence and polish your presentation abilities, I highly recommend his class."
Dr. Curry is a great online professor. His class was well-organized, and he explained everything clearly. The instructions for assignments were easy to follow. Even though it was an online class, he made it easy to stay engaged. He cares about his students and wants them to succeed. I would take another class with him.
this dude so tuff.
His class is really easy if you just do the work.
Really good lectures, which gives you the confidence that he knows what he is talking about when it comes to communication. The only mistake I made is that on the online 3 week course, there were checklists for each day (Monday, Tuesday, ... Sunday) and I skipped to the Sunday one thinking that would contain the assignments for the whole week (no)
This was my first fully online class and it was good one to take. The layout of the assignments was clear and the instructions were too. I would definitely recommend taking him.
Dr. C is honestly one of the best professors I've had.I took SPCH 1311 with Dr. C in just three weeks, and he made it manageable and enjoyable. He's super organized, responds fast to texts, and truly wants you to succeed. If you're nervous about public speaking or just want a professor who truly cares, take Dr. C. Highly recommend! 10/10
This was a class I was afraid would be boring but taking it changed my perspective. I genuinely enjoyed this class. Do work every day to keep up and not fall behind. His video lectures were very entertaining and helpful. Daily work includes a lecture, a reflection, and a McGraw hill. Dr. Curry is also very kind and accessible if you have questions!
An amazing professor, you can tell he really cares about communication and explains it to where its heavy on vocabulary and is held to a high standard but he also talks about it in a modern day tone, which helped me understand it better. A textbook is needed but it is by MacGraw. Super easy class! You wont regret it,just do the work and be genuine
In my opinion, Dr. Curry is one of the best professors for this course. As long as you put in effort for the class, you will get an A in the class. Grades include video presentations, lecture reflections, and McGraw-Hill textbook assignments.
Great Professor. Great class structure, the first week eases student in, the second week requires a lot of work, the last week has the least amount of work. Thoughtful, Supportive, and Constructive feedback. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND TAKING HIS CLASS.
Dr. Curry is one of the best speech professors I've had. His lectures are interesting and easy to follow, and he explains things clearly. The assignments are very accessible and manageable, and he's a super easy grader. If you want to improve your speaking skills without feeling overwhelmed, take his class!
Dr. Curry was a very supportive of me and took the time to read all of my assignments and provide feedback. He doesn't grade very harshly and mostly inspires people to express how they truly feel. Going out of this course has made me more confident in my speaking, and better at listening.
This professor is straight to the point, which allows for efficient use of class time and keeps students focused on the core material. Their direct approach helps explain difficult subjects more clearly, minimizing confusion and enhancing understanding.
I've had the chance to take Public Speaking with Dr. Curry, and it's been a truly enriching experience. His sessions are highly practical and feel more like conversations than lectures.I've learned so much thanks to his well-designed activities and the detailed, constructive feedback he always provides.TAKE HIM!!
Professor Curry wants you to succeed and helps you overcome anxiety if you're nervous about public speaking. He encourages participation in a fun, engaging way and gives thoughtful feedback on speeches. Lectures are entertaining and never boring, plus he provides helpful videos for additional learning at home. Take him to improve your P. Speaking
Dr. Curry is a great professor. Speech wasn't hard and not much of a workload but since I took it during the summer I didn't always have the best time management and would do assignments last minute. I definitely would recommend giving yourself the whole week to do the assignments.
I've never had Richard Curry as a physical professor, I've never even had a Zoom presentation with him, but that doesn't mean he's a bad professor. He's very quick with grading, his lectures are very descriptive, his feedback can make you shed tear of appreciation, and he's also a bit of a comedian. I highly recommend Dr. Curry as your professor.
Assignments are due on Sunday, 11:59, except for the first week, some are due on Wednesday, I think. This was a pretty easy course, mostly because of the professor's clear descriptions and instructions for each assignment.
This isn't a hard class and the teacher is great. The grading criteria is easy as long as you do the work, but there is a lot of essays and questions.
Highly recommend this course to anyone who needs an elective. He gave feedback for each assignment by the beginning of the following week, incorporating lessons along the way. The class is very educational, and his teaching style makes it easier to retain information. There are many topics covered, and he responds to emails in ample time.
Dr. Curry is a great professor. He is very caring for every one of his students. He genuinely wants you to learn, and he cares about you and your well-being more than just your grades.
Dr. Curry is an exceptional professor. This was my first experience with an online college class, and I am incredibly grateful to have had him as my instructor. He provides valuable feedback, and his lectures are easy to understand. He has a great sense of humor and genuinely cares about his students.
Very awesome teacher. I took the summer class had to write 1-2 pages pretty much weekly. You have to record yourself talking about topics but nothing too challenging. You have to use the textbook, but I was able to do all of the homework's within the free trail period and did not have to pay for it. Take this class
This was my first ever online course with Lonestar, and Dr. Curry played a big part in helping me navigate everything. The assignments are organized and the instructions are clear and specific, so you know exactly what to do. He is also fairly quick at responding to emails which is great. Overall, I recommend him. Great Professor!
USE THE CHECKLIST!!
Great professor. Very informative.
All of Dr. Curry's instructions and guidelines on the rubrics were very straightforward. His assignments were also very easy and you could do them in under a day.
I took this course this fall for 8 weeks. There are no test or final exams, weekly lectures where you have to respond to 5 students, and short papers you write weekly. This is an amazing professor who cares for his students and makes the class fun yet educational. I've learned so much throughout this course and I am grateful I selected Dr. Curry :)
Took an 8-week course, mainly consisting of short 1-2 page papers based on personal experiences and connecting them to the lecture, McGraw-Hill assignments, discussion posts, and replies for participation credit. It was a great course on the elements of communication, and Dr. Curry was an excellent professor. Be sure to stay on top of your work.
He was a great professor and I can tell he really cares about his students learning. I took the 8 week course, which made it a little hard for my schedule since there was usually 1 paper due at the end of the week and I struggle with getting papers done. However, nothing was hard and if you have good time management it's a great class.
I loved taking this online course! Dr. Curry creates checklists for all our assignments that are all due on Sunday for each learning week. Aside from that, he lets us make up work at the end of the course and gives us extra credit. Also, you do not need to pay for the Connect textbooks assignments since they're through the Star Bundle.
Dr. Curry is such a good professor. He's very organized and gave good feedback on your reflection paper. There are no quizzes or exam, however, be prepared to write a lot of reflections paper and read. Overall he is a great prof!
Very easy just watch the videos given and DO THE WORK!!
Professor Curry is a great professor. He offers opportunities at the end of semester for extra credit. He is caring and understanding. Yes, you should turn work in on time because was the deadline comes it will not be reopened The lectures were amazing informational and allowed opportunities to communicate as a class. I would take this course again
Dr. Curry is an amazing professor. I am really grateful to have found him for this course. There is a lot of work but nothing unmanageable. I would definitely take him again if I had the opportunity.
Dr. Curry is an amazing professor. This class helped me become much more comfortable with speaking, and the assignments were truly helpful, they weren't just busy work; they actually taught me skills I can use in real life. He explains everything clearly and genuinely wants his students to grow. Overall, a great class and a great instructor!
By far an amazing teacher, there are plenty of assignments but are not hard at all. Responds back to emails in a timely manner. Gives great feedback. I would definitely take him again.
I enjoyed this course a lot and I personally think that Dr. Curry was a very good professor! The way his course was clean and organized, made it very easy to navigate through the course. The course was very easy I feel like, and not very heavy - super manageable if you spread out the work throughout the week:)
PLS take Professor Curry! The weekly assignments are super easy, just some reflection papers, one module in McGraw Hill. Would for sure take him again.
I only got a B because I missed assignments, totally on me for that. But he gives extra credit so that helps. This class was so easy and time managed very well. Even though it was very easy I stilled learned a lot so definitely take this course.
He was great. All the lectures are him. I found him informative and liked the assignments,
Great professor, one of the best I've taken at lone star
Dr. Curry has been my favorite professor so far, applying yourself to coursework is all that is required to pass his course.
Amazing professor! Definitely take him if you're thinking about it. He genuinely cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He makes his lectures fun and engaging. There are lecture videos each week, discussions, reflection papers/ video options, and McGraw-Hill assignments. It's a super-easy course if you do your job.
Had great lectures and a variety of assignments. I enjoyed having him as a professor, he was engaging but not too much to where it feels overwhelming. Great class, i learned a lot and would take another one of his courses.
His lectures are very entertaining! As long as you complete your work and keep up with the lectures, you should be good! would definitely take him again! the best!!
Dr. Curry explains the material clearly and keeps the course very organized. His examples make the lessons easy to understand, and his feedback is always helpful. He creates a comfortable environment for students and truly cares about their learning.
Dr. Curry made his lectures easy to understand and digest. The reflections and textbook work were simple enough yet engaging. (at least in the reflection portion) and the class was fairly easy to follow. The only thing that will tie you up is if you aren't able to keep up with your work, otherwise you're good!
Dr. Curry's lectures were very engaging and fun! He gave a lot of work, but it was simple enough to keep up. He was very encroaching and engaged in what we had to say in our reflections.
Dr. Curry is a great professor very kind and funny. Lectures are very engaging, and the assignments really get you to reflect on yourself. There is a good amount of work but it was doable in an 8w course pretty easy to keep up. He gave really good feedback on reflections. I would 100% take him again.
Dr. Curry is a great professor, and the way he designed this course keeps in mind students who work, along with having students really interact with what we are learning. Everything is straightforward;video lectures, follow the modules, (2-3) video entries throughout the course, textbook assignments, and you'll do great. I'd take him again.
Dr. Curry is a supportive and engaging professor who truly wants students to succeed. His lectures are clear, organized, and easy to understand. He creates a comfortable environment for participation and gives helpful feedback that builds confidence. His lessons are practical and useful beyond the classroom.
Professor Curry is a great choice. He sticks to his syllabus, stays well-organized, and while you'll need to put in the effort, he offers plenty of chances for extra credit. Overall, he's an excellent online instructor who really helped me gain confidence in public speaking.
I want to start by saying that Dr. Curry is an amazing professor, I took the 8wk course for SPCH 1321 online and the only thing I was lost on was that I am unsure if it was me or if the syllabus stated more assignements than we actually did. Dr. Curry did an amazing job and I had an easier time in his class than other regularaly paced ones.
(SPCH 1321) I would definitely recommend Dr. Curry's course. The weekly assignments are very straightforward, and he provides a mix of different communication styles for us to practice. You will also learn a lot of practical skills applicable to the real world. As someone who works full time and takes on a full course load, this class was perfect.
Dr. Curry was an amazing professor. Since I took the 8-week course I only had to complete half the homework assignments in the McGraw Hill website. You do have to record videos, but he is very forgiving and nice. You also have to write papers and watch his lectures which are very entertaining in my opinion.
Dr.Curry created a very warm and friendly atmosphere that helped me feel more confident!
Dr. Curry is a great professor. You will need the online version of the textbook to complete the assignments. The assignments were straightforward and he gave great feedback.
Dr. Curry's online class is very well organized and includes all the necessary materials needed to succeed. The lectures, assignments, and resources are clearly explained and easy to follow. Concepts are presented in a structured way that makes learning manageable, even in an online format. Overall, the course is well designed and supportive.
Awesome professor! Do the work and you will do fine!
Has a good learning style and truly engages with his students.
Really amazing professor. Gives a very fun and in depth look into what communication really is. He turns a class that you would think is boring into a fun and cool class. He gives good feedback!
I took this course during the winter minimester, and it was well-organized with clear expectations. The professor explained the material clearly, and the workload was manageable even while working full-time.
Dr. Curry is a very attentive professor who loves what he does and it shows. I honestly wish I had not rushed my way through this course because he genuinely is a good professor who cares about his students and wants them to succeed, take something, and grow by the end of the course.
