GREAT CLASS, VERY INTERESTING AND FUN. LEARNED A LOT
Awful sense of humor. It is not Funny!!! Abrupt.
He makes the class very interesting and he is easy to take. Please note that he sense of humor is off but that is the purpose of the class.
He is a cool professor...
Cool teacher,VERY easy class.

He's a GREAT teacher. However, his jokes aren't always the best but we all work with what we have. I learned alot and plan on taking more from Prof. R. Wawee.
Didn't learn a thing. We just had to sit there and listen to him preach about his politcical and religious views. Wasted money on the book that we never opened. Very subjective grader - depended on his moods. Take someone else!
Great professor. Highly recommended, remember to take good notes. Test are open notes only with a lot of essay writting but worth it. Easy A
He is easy on the grading and on test.. Open notes test. Easy A.
He was ok.. I took him in summer and we had to do so many essays for the class.. abt 6 essays.. Tests are open notes but hard.
Took in summer -- went by fast. Hard but fair. a lot of writing. Really used the google it tool for clarity but class discussions helped a lot too. I think once I figured out his "style" the class was fine. I was concerned at first.
He's a great teacher but does assign a lot of essays, if you hate to write papers this is not the class for you. It can get hard and confusing buthe is always willing to work with you. Even though exams are open notes they are still hard.
This is a course that you must be ready for. Opens your eyes to a great amount of concepts/theories.
He is kinda confusing, he'll use notes from powerpoint, but he doesn't want you to copy them. His tests are open notes, but they are still very hard. He is willing to sit with you and explain a concept.nice wants you to pass if you are putting effort in
At first I was totally rubbed the wrong way, but as class continued I started to see a different approach in his teaching style. I would recommend this professor to others, but I would caution anyone to watch their opinions. They may be wrong!
Theory, yikes! I dropped it the first day I went to class. You have to be ready for Theory of Comm. He seemed too demanding and was rude about peoples' opinions. Its a theory class, he's supposed to explain not criticize thoughts & opinions on a theories.
I was very intimitaded by him on the first day of class. Overall, the class was interesting. He is very helpful and is a very good teacher. Make sure you do all of the assignment that is given out to you and you will do just fine.
This class was so wonderful. I have never learned so much in one class. This class taught me more about myself than any other class ever has. I am not saying Wawee is easy. He expects a lot from you but I got an A in argumentation and debate.
I love this teacher! he makes yuu see the other side on what comm realy is! at first u might think he is mean and demands alot,but not at all. Easy homowork and beyond a exelent teacher!!
Professor Wawee's class is what you as a student make it. I enjoyed his class but in order to make a good grade you must be willing to write essays and study for test. He has a nice sense of humor which helps to make his lectures interesting.
VERY interesting class..and very interesting teacher. My only criticism is that he appears to grade almost arbitrarily, off his impression.
Easy B
Very interesting and laid back. His opinion is the only opinion but as long as you remember that you'll be fine.
PROF WAWEE IS A VERY GOOD TEACHER. HE IS VERY DIRECT AND TO THE POINT ABT WHAT HE WANTS AND IT WOULD BE IN YOUR BEST INTEREST TO FOLOW HIS INSTRUCTIONS TO THE T. HE LIKES TO JOKE AND ACT SILLY SO IF YOU DEAL WITH THAT WELL YOU WILL SEE HE'S 1 OF THE BEST TO TAKE FOR YOUR COMM REQUIREMENTS.
I was thoroughly impressed with this professor and, in fact, am taking another class from him this summer. I believe I truly learned a great deal from this professor and I plan on taking as many Communications courses from him as possible. He is helpful, honest, knowledgable, respectful and an awesome sense of humor!
he's a good teacher. easy A if you do all your work on time and study for the test. we only had to do one speech so that was good. he knows his material and knows how to apply it to the real world. his classes were never really boring.
i guess it was me but i really disliked this teacher. he superimposed his one mineded conservative views on his students and demanded they accept his views.he was extremely self indulged and felt that the amount of money one spent on materlistic items measures how much a man was worth. also his assignments we corny and graded unfairy
Great Teacher!! Easy to get along with, funny, and very helpful, he is AWESOME!!!
The subject matter in Comm. Theory isn't easy, but Professor Bob explains it rather well. If you do all the busy work and actually put effort into your papers, he'll reward you for it. He's funny and cares about his students a lot more than he lets on! I suggest taking him. Go Prof. Bob!!!!
His sarcastic sense of humor might discourage students to ask valid questions. Do not contradict him, specially during class, it might cost you a letter grade. The final is worth 50% of your grade and since it is a presentation your grade on the final might be in direct proportion to how he likes you. He is usually late to class & that is unethical
Be prepared to allow time to copmplete twenty-pages or more of chapter outlines and two-speeches. He test are trickly. Remember to leave your opinions at the door. All and all, you will need to work a bit to obtain an A in his class. Some students may get intimidated by his style and outlook, but if you apply yourself it all works out.
He's my favorite professor hands down. He teaches 5 different communication classes. Definately take him if you are a Comm Major. Even if the work he gives seems hard, you will learn alot of valuable information that you can use in your own life. He makes students want to learn. I took 2 of his classes and got A's in both.
Prof. Bob is as great of a person as he is a professor. I have learned a lot of information which I have actually retained and used in my life. He is extremely fair in grading and has realistic expectations for the many of us who have jobs, kids, and a life! One reason I say, "well I guess UHD isn't THAT bad!"
While Wawee is a decent prof in that he knows the material and for the most part explains it well, he is not helpful when it comes to groups. He assigns you to groups for the midterm and final and if there's a problem with people not carrying their weight he does nothing to help. He is not fair when it comes to grading on group work AT ALL!!!!!!!!!
Prof Bob is the best professor I have ever had! He really makes you think. If you are a Comm major, he is a must to take. He will scare you the first day by saying that you will be "confused" the entire semester, but do not take him seriously. He grades fairly and wants everyone to understand and learn as much as they can. Great teacher!!!!
Prof Bob is a wonderful man! He goes beyond the course matter and discusses things that are enlightening for REAL life. He's totally understanding that we all have jobs, kids, lives! He treats people like people not just students, even though he really is a million times more intelligent than us. Linda rocks too!
He is very clear when it comes to preaching about his personal religious and political views of the world. His sarcasm was totally out of place and his grading system arbitrary! Get your money's worth. Take someone else!
Admittedly, this class is not yet over, but overall, I am not impressed. The subject matter is not at all interesting and neither are his discussions. Man, I'm glad this in NOT my major!
good professor. he was open to discussion, passionate about class and teaching, which is a great quality. Not the easiest of courses, but enjoyable and learned A LOT!!
Held my interest for the entire semester. Must read the text but can use notes for exams. Grades written homework fairly. Test are straight forward. Excellent Teacher.
Prof. Wawee is a wonderful teacher. He not only knows his material, he lives it. I took him SUMM I, 2 regular exams 1 final and 3 papers due at end of semester. Gives you plenty of time to do all work. No homework. We studied from review sheet and he gave us the lecutre notes. I made an "A". I loved his class and will take him again.
This class is TOUGH! You have to do the work, but it is worth it in the end. The debate is actually fun! You won't make less than a B on your debate.
Had for Summer '07, Arg. and Debate. Professor loved his own opinion and seemed disorganized, often cancelling class on a whim. Lectures, which were taken STRAIGHT from the book, never lasted more than half the time alotted. Book itself was poorly written and is quite inferior to other good texts, such as Copi's logic. Overall, shoddy scholarship!
If your thinking about taking arg & debate take another professor or wait till someone else is teaching it. He kept a vague undertone in the class. Half the time your all confused and lost. He would randomly make stuff due and the text is useless. Don't miss class b/c u won't know whats going on. Stay away frm this professor for Arg & debate!
The worst professor I have had at UHD. He thinks nothing of busting his ego at students expense. A student asked him a simple question and Mr. Wawee blew off on her face. I do not recommend him.
Do no take his Comm class. He is is one of the most argumentative and insecure professors I have met. Everything is good until you challenge him. His word is it!!! And you better not think about questioning him.
Had him for argumentation & debate. I hated every minute of it. He always reminded us how hard the material was and how most people don't understand it like we wouldn't even if we tried. I would never take this professor again and I wouldn't recommed anyone else to either.
Professor Wawee was hands down the most influential in my college career. He is also a priest, although very down to earth, and has many real and interesting topics to share. I would recommend him to anyone. If I wasn't graduating in May, I would take everything else he teaches!!!
Trouble in paradise. Everyone falls even the teacher. Take another class.
Hate this class!!! Stay away from this professor if you are smart!
STAY AWAY! This is a very bias prof. If you have an opinion don't bother sharing it, it will bring down your grade. If he thinks you are a B student then that is the grade he will give you, no matter how well you do. Seriously, STAY AWAY!!
I took him during the Summer, easy A as long as you do the work. He's a very laid back, enthusiastic and an exciting instructor.
Very emotional. Hard to understand. Pompous guy who thinks only his opinion matters.
He is awesome!!!!!
Easy prof. Teachers from the text. Opinionated and arrogant. I hated him.
Dr. W. is great. He's excited about the material, he is knows his stuff, and he engages you in the topics. Exams are a little difficult, and you have to be careful to listen to HIS definition of terms because they don't necessarily match what you think they mean. Feel free to argue your point but don't expect him to agree or give in . VERY FAIR
Bob Wawee is GREAT, the entire class loved him... very easy to understand, makes the subject easy to understand and very open and honest with his students... all the assingments are easy and there are writing assignments, but GREAT ones. I highly rec that you take him... I had a great summer with him.
Arrogant. Totally inflated ego. And he is not a DR. He has no PHD so just call him professor.
The most interesting class I've had yet. He is straight forward and understanding. I'd love to take him for more classes...
Wawee grades on merit which means if he dosent know you and you fail his test but pass everything else you will get a C and ofcourse you dont deserve a C never aging will I take a class from him
I thought this teacher was great. I was not interested in this course but I had fun in his class. I was busy planning my wedding and he knew that. I did my best and he passed me.
I thought this teacher was great.
Don't take the online class for Comm Theory. He is super hard. He assigns work through spring break. Each week you have at least 2 worksheets, then 2 essay quizzes. Every week there is work! Tests, no study guide, on over 13 chapters!
Prof Wawee is great if as long as you aren't too cool for school.
Wawee is a moody and mean spirited educator.He is not a happy person.He does not appreciate the value of students who well informed.It is hard for me to believe he is a communication prof.He has no interpersonal and communication skills.i wish dept.chair prof.would come around unexpectly and evaluate prof.like him. stay away from him.
Prof Wawee is awesome. Read the book and do the work and you're going to make an A. He's not mean at all. Don't take anything he says to heart. Love this guy & would recommend him to all Comm majors.
I'm not sure how he is in person but online he is rude! Ask him a question and he replies in a rude manner. He is not helpful at all and his test are very difficult.
You will work your butt off for a decent grade unless you're really cool with him or really understand the material. He can be very rude at times, but it's just his personality. If you don't think you can handle that, don't take him. This isn't an easy class and he tells you at the beginning of the semester, but if you try he notices and helps you.
Super sweet man. I loved being in his class and he makes it extremely fun. I love him!! He's so cute.
Took this class Spr'12 and got an "A!" If u read and interact n class & w the professor U WILL get a good grade. Met some awesome people, too!!! He's knows his stuff...he has great analogies that relate to the course. Took similar class at UH-Main and didnt learn CRAP!!! Loved this class...learned a lot about self/others...take this class!:) S.y.C
Not a good prof for freshman level classes. Do mot take if you're the kind of person who needs specific instructions, or if you can't interpret mixed messages.
Professor Wawee stepped into our classroom halfway through the semester to fill in for another instructor that could no longer be with us. His level of flexibility while providing a thought provoking curriculum was among the best! I would highly recommend Prof. Wawee to any student, just be prepared to think a little outside the box.
HE IS VERY EASY, VERY HELPFUL, VERY SIMPLE, GRADES REALLY EASY AND HE IS CLASS IS VERY FUN!!!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM!!!!
He is an awesome professor. He tells it like it is without being too politically correct. Just do what you are supposed to,PARTICIPATE IN CLASS, study and you should get an A. He loves students that participate in class, learn the material and shows interest. That is how you get on his good side.
Great teacher. Very informative, easy course. If you enjoy learning about diversity then you will enjoy this class. He is very helpful and will work with you if you are having any type of issue. The workload is very manageable too! Test are 80+ questions but are super easy. Group work can be a little annoying.
Despite some of the negative comments, my experience with Professor Wawee was pleasant. Theory is not the easiest of classes, especially during May term, but he was clear on expectations and quick with responses. If you are willing to do the work, you'll get the grade. Simple! I earned an A; therefore, it's obtainable.
Great professor, super helpful, very clear with assignments and projects. One of the best professors . Highly recommended
This professor has dry humor but he was not bad you do have to work for your grade in his class but he does help you if you need it.
I don't know why people are saying he is helpful because he is not. DO NOT TAKE HIM ONLINE AT ALL. DO NOT DO NOT TAKE HIM. You are better of teaching yourself because he will not give you any guidance.
Dr. Wawee is a really good prof. He is not going to GIVE YOU A GRADE IF YOU DO NOT DESERVE IT. I took him in COMM 3330 and COMM 3320. My grades weren't super high but I didn't really study as much as I should have. Give him a try #toughbutunderstandablegrader #lovestoteach
Professor wawee is one of the worse professors I have ever took online. And although my grades are good he is horrible, he is not there to help you, he is extremely rude and even when you cite something in the book he will say the sentence is wrong, even with proving that's the way the book wrote it! This professor is a nightmare
Hey is an amazing teacher!! Don't be intimidated by first impressions, he is a very funny and insightful teacher. You will have to work for your grade and read! There is a group debate, midterm and final (easy)! The information that is learned in this class will be used in daily lives, TRUST ME!!
The reason I won't choose him again - he is not helpful at all. Let me say it again, not helpful at all. He requires this Group Me app to communicate with ALL the students. This allows him to not help you on an individual basis. He teaches to many courses to offer the best possible attention to students. He is simply ineffective. Never again. never
As long as you participate in class, and complete the assignments, you should pass. I received a "B" in his class. I was late on a speech and pissed him off by not coming to class.
This class was hard but worth it. When he says almost nobody gets an A,means it. Beware of the group project!!! It can make or break your grade.
Easy course
Beware of group work.
Follow instructions and you should be fine
Professor Wawee made this speech class mean something to me. He took the material and related it to each student. He is really passionate about his work and is a great professor. His tests are difficult but if you read you will do fine. His speeches are easy but can be difficult if you have trouble speaking. Be prepared to be a better speaker.
He has been one of my favorite professors so far! He truly has a gift for teaching and wants his students to be successful. Only 2 test in the course a couple of reading assignments and a interview project. I would recommend him.
A very contradicting person, Professor Wawee likes to spend a good amount of his lecture time to show off his own accomplishments. He sees this course as a joke and often gets confused on the speech requirements on blackboard. There's homework, but he doesn't even look over it. Would not take again, this course was very irritating.
Amazing!!!! One of the Easiest professors
Mr. Wawee is super funny! He will make you talk as in Begining to public speaking requires you to do 3 speeches and a group speech plus a few random speeches. He's very funny and willing to help you if you seek it. He teaches you how to speak correctly and shows criticism but for your own good. Totally recommend
Professor Wawee is really a great professor. He is not mean like some of the comments on this website say. You can get along with him just fine and he really does respond quickly with emails students send to him. You will really enjoy this class. Don't listen to negative or moderate comments about this professor.
Dr. Wawee was easier than he seemed. All you had to do was participate and turn in work to pass.
You really need to work for your grade. There were many assignments but if you pay attention it should be easy. He is kind and willing to help you.
He's a great teacher
Thoroughly ejoyed this class and Prof Wawee. He's very fair, gives great feedback and I would take any class he teaches without thinking twice.
