Extremely easy; extremely forgiving and welcoming. Great class. I generally enjoyed him, but when I found out that he was greatly favoring some students over others, it diminished my view of him. He votes for the "underdog", therefore giving a student with a horrible speech an A and giving a more intelligent student a lower grade. Dissapointing.

Mr. Brown is one of the best professors at TCC. He genuinely cares about his students and really wants them to succeed. There were 2 big speeches, but he explains to you how to give them very well. You MUST attend class though because there are a lot of easy In-class assignments. Most quizzes are with your group and are easy. Take him! He's awesome

I am really glad a was able to take his class. He is an all around great professor and person. Wait to get the textbook. He doesn't care where you get it. Edition matters

He gave a lot of extra class, was super funny, and you could tell he really cared about his students even if you were shy or weren't good at speaking.

Amazing teacher! Right off the bat, he is very caring and funny. Participation is key when taking this course. He is strict with his grading criteria; however, he clearly communicates expectations in his lectures and on Canvas. For anyone thinking about taking his class; don't judge a book by its cover

He made sure everyone was comfortable/not as nervous during class. Just follow the example outlines for his speeches and you'll be fine.

Never had a teacher care so much about our grades like Prof. Brown. Very caring guy, as long as everyone participates the class was a breeze. Make sure you show up to class as there is a lot of class activity, for speeches just follow the outline he gives you and makes you feel really comfortable and less nervous when doing speeches. Great Teacher.
