Great professor
Take him! Its not a difficult class just a little bit of work.
Professor Kincaid is a caring professor that is willing to help his students in any way in order to help them succeed. Doing your best is good enough for him to pass you regardless of your progression in the class. Just try.
He is an amazing professor and great person. He really cares for your grade and helps you out with giving out presentation
I recommend Professor Kincaid to everyone that need to take speech its a smooth and easy course the only way youll fail if you dont show up on presentation days. He also work with you if you miss certain assignment and reply to emails fast. Overall hes a 10/10
He's a great professor, 10/10 would have again
Professor is a breath of fresh air. He enjoys teaching and inneracting with students. You will become a better communicator. At first I was very reluctant presenting to the class, but Kincaid starts off with students in groups so you get comfortable speaking in your group. Then later in the semester you get to pick a topic that you are familiar.
Very easy to talk to. Very friendly. Very caring.
I never knew speech could be so great. We work in groups presenting the information assigned, and learn about communication in all walks of life. A gotta take with Professoe Kincaid. He cares about his students.
Gives work every week but is reasonable! very sweet professor, easy to talk to, the class is pretty straight forward. He will for sure help you pass! 100/10 recommend!!!!
Prof Kincaid has been one of my best profs since I started at Collin. He is so relaxed and willing to corperate with you if you need to miss class or help with an assignment. Great Prof all around.
This professor is super caring and engaging in class and creates a positive environment for anyone who is taking the class. He is very helpful and genuinely enjoys teaching his students. This class is not very difficult but it is not a class that you can skil all the time and still receive credit. A large part of the course is participating.
Fun class! Easy A! Makes public speaking way less intimidating, gives extra credit ops and is very funny. TAKE THIS CLASS.
He wants you to better and he cares for you to learn not just memorize.
Loved this class and teacher. I took him in Summer. Workload wasn't bad just a lot of copying definitions. Speeches weren't hard and didn't have to be longer than two minutes. Definitely would take this class again!
Prof. Kincaid expects participation in the class everyday and wants you to be there. I took this class in the summer and it was a breeze. Barely any homework, no memorization. He honestly wants everyones communication skills to be improved. Two minute speech daily, great professor, easy-going, and would definitely recommend to anyone taking speech.
Professor Kincaid has a passion for teaching and it shows. He has never shown up to class not prepared. He is there to help and wants his students to pass. If you show up to class, and participate, you will pass will an A. The first day of classes we were greeted with donuts, music, and a fun lesson plan to start off the term.
Professor Kincaid is very passionate and loves what he teaches. He's very simple in the fact that if you do the work then you get the grade. Exams are straight from the textbook. He's just such a good hearted professor. He cares for his students I would definitely take him again.
Amazing proffesor. Was a really fun class
Very responsive to students. Very good professor. Do the work and you will recieve an A. It is not hard to maintain. Make sure you read the assigned readings. You are expected to do group work. DO THE WORK! He is very supportive in his students doing well and pushes you to do better as well. Definitely would take again!
Loved his class, always good with students.
Great professor who is always willing to help his students as long as you email him and are open with communicating with Mr. Kincaid and classmates when group projects are assigned. I had a great time during my summer semester in his class and I wish I had taken his class for a full semester!
Professor Kincaid is very cool teacher. If you participate in his class and just do the homework you can get an A+. I would definitely selected this professor over any other.
Prof. Kincaid is amazing. Im in his 3rd period speech class this year tues/thurs and Im so glad I took it. Hes super nice and you can tell he truly cares for his students and what you have to say.
Simply put, he is incredibly passionate and caring for his work and students. If you ever need advice or are running late, he definitely checks his emails and helps you out. 10/10. Could not have asked for a better speech professor.
I took Richard Kincaid's class at 8:00 am every MWF and he made it enjoyable. He greets every student with a good morning and a smile. He seems like a teacher who cares about his students and their well-being. Group presentations every week and two end-of-year speeches over a topic of your choice make up your grade. I would definitely take it again
Kincaid was a great and personable professor! As long as you participate and show up to class frequently, you shouldn't have a problem with this course at all! I would definitely recommend him to other peers.
He is very caring and I really enjoyed this class! He makes it easier to speak in front of people by creating an atmosphere that is welcoming of everyone and they're thoughts
I loved this class, understands his students and gives the amble opportunity to get work done. Do the work and show up to class on time easy and fun class. His teaching methods are the best by far, allowing the students to show what they are learning and giving different points of view on topics.
Professor Kincaid makes giving speeches less stressful and easy! Learning about communication is fun when he makes the class engage and talk about their experiences. He is also really understanding if you show up late, as long as you don't make a habit of it. 10/10 :)
This is definitely an Easy A and participation matters. In the beginning of the course you will be placed in a group and present a speech weekly. Also make sure to do the bookwork and keep up with it. Do not wait until last minute to complete this because he will take this up for a grade.
Great Professor!!!He's very understandable. His class is interesting and I've learned a lot. His exams are easy, just show up to class and participate and you well be good.
He teaches great! Will make sure you are set up for success!
Mr. Kincaid was a wonderful teacher! He is funny, easygoing, and made public speaking less daunting. The class required a decent amount of class participation, but he made the subject of public speaking much more enjoyable. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to take speech class.
Professor Kincaid is awesome! His class is very well organized, and he really cares for his students! He has helped me tremendously with my public speaking.
He is a great teacher and explains everything very well and responds to emails very quickly, communicates great with his students! He is overall a great professor and is very knowledgeable at what he does.
Professor Kincaid is a good choice! He's easy to talk to and understanding and the work is fairly easy, with reading the textbook chapters and doing a worksheet on it for homework and presenting a speech on it in class. Although it is tedious, there's nothing out of the ordinary to expect and you'll fall into the routine, nothing to worry about!
I loved Professor Kincaid's course. He is an awesome teacher. He trusts his students. Allows extra credit. He is a sweetheart. Relates the lessons with personal stories to make them easier. He and his classes are awesome.
Dr. Kincaid is a very easy going professor and wants all of his students to pass. He grades more on your ability to present rather than the material you are presenting
Professor Kincaid if easy going as long as everyone is respectful of the speaker. Homework is to read and present for 60 seconds each class. Attending class is important to keep up a good grade. He will keep class until end time even if its not needed. Overall easy A if you try.
Really good at keeping the class engaged and helped keep us on track and finish our major assignments.
THIS PROFESSOR IS INCREDIBLY UNDERSTANDING AND THE CLASS IS VERY INTERESTING. EACH DAY WAS A CHANCE TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW ABOUT EVERY STUDENT AND THE PROFESSOR, I JUST WISH I ATTENDED ENOUGH CLASSES LEARN MORE FROM MY CLASSMATES. I LEARNED VERY INFORMATIVE AND NECESSARY LIFE COMMUNICATION SKILLS TO CARRY WITH ME THROUGHOUT MY SCHOOLING AND CAREER.
Great professor!!! I really liked this class! He keeps everyone on track with the final projects and gives alot of time for the groups to collaborate during class time! Easy A as long as you read the chapters you need to and show up to class! There are only 2 major essays and then the text book you read at the beginning of the semester but its easy
He is Amazing Professor!!!
Kincaid was a good professor, however, there was not much to learn in his class especially after the completion of the book material. This class was the easiest A of my life and presented no challenge. If you want a GPA booster take his class, if you want a to grow in knowledge try someone else
All work is straightforward dont need much studying
If you show up to class and do the work, there shouldnt be a problem getting an A
Professor Kincaid is the most amazing professor I've ever had at Collin College!!!! He is so comprehensive with his students and it's such a nice and actually fun class!! Not hard at all. Take him you won't ever regret it!
Mr. Kincaid is a very cooperative professor who gives you help in all areas of life as well as make you a better speaker. I always felt nervous speaking but Mr. Kincaid made our class feel at home. He made me a more confident person overall and I highly recommend anybody to take him.
Definitely a good professor
Professor Kincaid is super caring. Do your homework, which is light, and show up to class and you'll get an A. Textbook is required for homework.
Mr. Kincaid is very helpful and caring but you have to show him you care.
I really have not one bad thing to say about professor Kincaid! You all know how daunting the thought of taking a speech class can be, well professor Kincaid makes it fun, interesting and bareable. If I could rate his class out of 100 stars, it would 1000! If you take him, you will surely pass! Participation and attendance is a must for this class!
The best professor I have ever taken. The whole class felt like family and he made it easy to get over our fears of speaking in front of large groups. Easy A, not tests, minimal homework. You will learn life long lessons to take with you through life. You will not regret taking him!!
If you need to take this class take him you wont regret it. Its the easiest thing ever and anyone can pass without even trying. As long as you do all the homework which is not even a-lot and show up to class you will pass with an A guaranteed. He's supper sweet and truly loves what he does.
I would HIGHLY recommend this Communication Professor. He was an amazing communicator, prepared, and very clear on directions to be successful in his class. This was supposed to be a lecture class, but with Covid-19 it ended up online (he adapted for it very well). He gives great feedback and really cares about you as a person (rare for college).
This course was supposed to be in person, but due to covid-19 it was pushed to being online. Professor Kincaid made the course change super easy. All assignments were completely clear and extremely easy. Even our final speech was without the hassle of other speech courses. You will need the textbook, but definitely pick Professor Kincaid!!!
Professor Kincaid is a truly great and easy professor. The textbook is needed but do not need to fully be read. You do group presentations all semester over textbook summaries. The final is a 5 minute speech. He makes everything super simple. All around amazing professor.
Professor Kincaid is a wonderful professor that really cares about his students. His lectures are interesting and easy to follow. He makes it a fun class. I have learned so much from this class that is helpful for me in my personal life. I 100% recommend taking him, if you show up to class, pay attention, and do the work, you will get an easy A.
Took professor Kincaid for speech 1311 and loved him. He was well structured with his assignments. You have three assignments each week (they are super easy) and don't take long to do. You need to show up to class for the weekly chapter speech which are also super easy you only need to talk for about a minute. Just show up and do your work for an A
Great professor who lets us present instead of lecturing the entire class. 200 word summarys due every class day, no test. Big class presentation
Great professor, this class is not an easy A. You have to show up up to class and do homework assignments each week. If you do these things you will get an A.
THE BEST
Professor Kincaid was a great teacher. He really wants his students to succeed. Homework is given everyday you have class, but it is manageable. If you do your homework and attend class, you should be able to get an A in the class. Probably one of the best and most popular Speech teachers at Collin.
Great Professor. Definitely recommend
Professor Kincaid is a great professor. He really cares about his students and cares about you learning about things read in the textbook. Definitely would recommend his class to anyone.
professor Kincaid was amazing from the start. From his funny stories, to his charismatic personality. if youre taking any kind of speech take professor Kincaid you wont be disappointed!
Professor Kincaid puts all the links to videos and criteria of assessments in the syllabus. All you will need is the textbook and attend class for the participation grade.
Great communicator and loves to tell stories. He provides you with a lot of opportunities to make an good grade. Do your weekly homework and participate in class discussions/presentations and you will get an A.
Very good professor who actual cares about his students. Not too much homework and a fun class to take.
Teaches very useful skills & helps everybody become comfortable & familiar with public speaking. It's been great seeing people become more confident in their speech skills. He is very engaging & encouraging, classes are interactive, & teaching is very student-oriented - focused on student's individual answers, input, and thinking skills.
Professor Kincaid was one of the nicest, caring professors I've ever had. He truly cares about his students and is passionate about what he teaches. I would definitely recommend him as a professor.
Fantastic Professor that truly cares about Speech. The class itself is not difficult at all as long as you do your weekly homework which is an assignment per class (Coronavirus made class a little different) and do a short speech presentation every class. Class is actually very interesting and Kincaid is the best professor for the class.
Great teacher! I learned a lot about communicating in my personal life.
Very good professor!
He is a great professor! Out of all the professors Ive taken and know of, he cares the most for his students. His lectures are student oriented and interesting! He keeps everyone engaged in the classroom. I have become a much better communicator and learned so much more!
I took professor Kincaid because after I saw he had a 5 on here I knew I had to get him and I'm so glad I did. The work that we did was actual not bad and I really learned a lot from the textbook and videos which I didn't expect to like. He also cracks jokes that are funny and has a good relationship with his students. I would 10/10 recommend :)
I walked in on day one thinking that this class would be a nightmare. He talks about his personal life during lectures and encourages us to do the same when we speak for assignments. It helped me overcome my social anxiety, and the experience is helping with our finals. Oh, did I mention I'm usually bad at English?
Professor Kincaid is a prime example of a great educator! He is very knowledgeable, caring and thorough with his way of educating each student. Our class age levels range from 18-37 and he spoke exponentially to each age level!! You definitely can tell he loves his job and puts his heart into each lesson he teaches!!
Great feedback. Super nice. Answers emails quickly. Entire schedule layed out till the very last day. Policies and grading rubrics easy to access and understand. I took a MWF class and every other class was a 1-2 speech over that days chapter. Easy. Show up to class.. Does allow makeup attendance and chapter quizzes (speeches)through email/youtube.
This professor truly cares about his students and wants them to succeed, not fail. He sends constant reminders when major grades are due, and he reminds when there is class. He is very organized. You leave the class with confidence knowing what you learned.
I knew from the very first day that Kincaid was the right Professor for me. He has a style of teaching that is very basic and simple, easy to understand. And the man has a sense of humor. The textbook chapters are not long and drawn out and the required essays are so easy a caveman could do it. Easy A+!!!
Kincaid was truly a gem. Take his courses!! As long as you show up and participate youll get an A. His work load isnt too much. Really fun teacher and has a ton of stories to tell. TAKE HIM
He is the best professor you will take for Speech ever! Take him if you want to pass! He is an easy grader and cares for his students. He appreciates and encourages students. You will surely get an A if you do the work on time and attend the class regularly.
Very good and laid back professor with self grading. Very easy class!
Professor Kincaid was a solid choice for a speech professor. He's a very caring person and really wants everyone to do well. He understands people are nervous when giving speeches and truly bolster's everyone's confidence so they do well. He's an easy and forgiving grader. Be respectful of his time and put forth effort, and you'll get an A!
I am so glad I decided to take Professor Kincaid for 1311. There are weekly presentations but he is a fair grader and has lots of stories and experience to share. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to have a fun semester with lots of interaction!
Professor Kincaid makes the classroom fun and interesting. He gives good feedback on his grading rubric and he has helped me to overcome my fear of speaking in public.
Professor Kincaid has been great to work with. Its a class that requires your participation and theres no way to get through it without the book. He always has good examples and interesting stories provided in lectures. The feedback for speeches and grading couldnt be more clear. He responds fast and acknowledges the fear of speaking.
Professor Kincaid is a very good professor and I would really recommend him. Class was very easy but you must show up to class, and be ready to participate.
Dr. Kincaid sets up his curriculum in such a way that students actually make progress and develop skills. I've never been in a class where I got to see my classmates go from extremely nervous and timid to confident and expressive in one semester. It was really inspiring. If you want a fun class that teaches you real-world skills, go to Dr. Kincaid.
Professor Kincaid is a great professor! Don't hesitate to take his class. I had him online and it was so easy, you just have to do your part in completing the assignments. Assigned work each week due on Sunday and the final exam is a five-minute video of yourself! You won't regret taking his class!
He is a truly good person, and professor. Get attitude and insightful.
Richard Kincaid was great. his class was totally worth it and I would take it again. awesome teacher! loved him!
Professor Kincaid was wonderful. He provided a healthy learning environment and encouraged natural community growth within the class.
This professor is really nice, and we do the speech outlines from the book and present it in class. In the final, group presentations are so simple, you just have to speak up and get the work so easy.
Easy grader and a very laidback professor. Would take it again and honestly not very many complaints. The only thing I had an issue with was that even after multiple presentations throughout the semester where we had to introduce ourselves each time, he struggled to remember half of the class names...
If you need a speech credit, I would highly recommend this class! He tried to create a welcoming community for all students. What made the class enjoyable was hearing the speeches and getting to know my classmates.
Professor Kincaid is an incredible professor. You can see his care for his students in everything he does. Be ready to come to class, participate, and listen. Attendance is 100% mandatory. You use the textbook for majority of the learning, but it is interesting and easy to understand. I would recommend him as a professor.
Professor Kincaid is a thoughtful, respectful, and motivating teacher. While the textbook was required in class, there was an emphasis on speaking in front of the class. Despite my initial anxiety, both the class and professor were extremely supportive. I would absolutely recommend you take Professor Kincaid for any speech class!
He is great and very respectful. He values and thanks the efforts of his students each time. He really is an easy grader. The only reason why I won't take him again is because the class was not stimulating enough and I didn't feel like I was learning or improving my speech skills. If you want to make an easy A, you should take him!
He is a kind professor who cares about his students. Just make sure to show up to class and complete his assignments, then it is an easy A
I was not looking forward to taking Speech, but Professor Kincaid made it so much fun. He created a nice and safe environment where i grew more confident in my speaking skills and learned so many life lessons. This class was awesome and i would take him again. You do have to read the textbook, but the information is well worth it! Highly Recommend!
Prof. Kincaid was the first professor I took at Collin and was the most caring and respectful teacher. He made everything easy and wanted us to benefit from this class. I loved listening to his talks and stories every class. If you take a speech at Collin College, Professor Kincaid is the professor to pick.
I really enjoyed Professor Kincaid's class! He is a really nice professor and he works hard to make it a positive and encouraging environment. He also talks a lot about his personal experiences during lectures, which are great lessons and very interesting. Overall, I really enjoyed this class!
He is the best best professor I have ever. He was so nice and kind. I really enjoyed his class.
This is the most boring class on earth. You would think a speech professor who encourages you to make your speeches interesting and varied would do that himself, but no. He is very repetitive, basically got all the info the first 2 weeks and he kept yapping about it for the whole semester, and going over it again and again. It's very easy.
Thank you for just being a good human who happens to be an amazing Professor. It was a blessing to me to observe a Professor who enjoys teaching and helping others. I have watched myself and others overcome fears and get better at communicating in every single class. I pray that I can do to someone else what you have done for me.
Honestly the greatest professors I have had. Easy to talk to and wants to get to know you. He understands that life happens but prefers you to be in class. You have to make speeches often, but it's a speech class, so idk what ur expecting lol.
This is the most invigorating fun class at Collin. Professor encourages you to make your speeches interesting. He is very awesome, and he makes learning interesting and fun. I had a problem speaking in public and he helped me learn to overcome that. You will be making a mistake if you do not take Professor Kincaid's Speech Class!
Kincaid is a great professor and you can tell that he truly does care about his students. I have never had a teacher that genuinely cared about me and my success and also viewed me as a human. His class really does teach you what it says it does. I guarantee you will leave this class able to give any kind of public speech.
Who ever wrote: "This is the most boring class on earth. You would think a speech professor who encourages you to make your speeches interesting and varied would do that himself, but no. He is very repetitive, basically got all the info the first 2 weeks " Is lying! They have a mental problem.
Professor Kincaid is an engaging and supportive instructor. The class requires active participation, but the textbook and tools like Unstuckstudy make it manageable. Definitely take this class if you need a speech credit.
Professor's ability to simplify complex concepts and provide valuable resources helped me understand the subject matter more effectively. His availability to answer questions and provide feedback showed your commitment to my success. I am grateful for the knowledge and skills I have gained. Thank you for being an exceptional Professor.
He was a great teacher and cared about what he talked about. I took a summer course, so a bit condensed, but all the essays were easy because you could do anything from the chapter that you liked, and he didn't grade harshly either! He encourage questions and was very respectful. I'm an introvert, but he created a open environment! Take him!!
