Hard but clear....you learn a lot

took him during the summer, he's not as bad as people think he is

Hello!! go to class and follow directions like you are supposed to and you will get an A

I'm sorry, but a speech is not graded by whether or not the title is underlined!

The people who hate him just aren't cut out for communications. He is an easy professor with a normal grading bracket and is always willing to help. I made an easy a

I took him 3 years ago, and it was tough. But the class prepared me for the real world (something I had no concept of at the time).

Hard at first, but it does prepare you for the real world. Grading is very hard.

Fun class. Lots of activities. Useful information. I figured out a major due to the career testing in this class.

I got my A! This was a great class. Departmental exams are tough but they are the same in every class from what I understand.

Buck up, you pansies! Jeffcoat isn't as hard as you've heard. In fact, he's pretty damn forgiving in certain areas. Just pay attention to some of the finer details, READ THE BOOK, and quit whining. There are worse professors on this campus!

He was really friendly and helpful when I dropped by his office for help. Departmental tests are HARD so be sure to study for them. Other than tests, it was a good class!

I tried Com 111 once with Srader. Now I'm in this class and like it! For those of you who think this is hard, try Srader next. You'll be back here ASAP.

He is helpful and friendly. Departmental exams are rough so be ready for them. Speeches are fine if you do the work and select an original topic.

Webct outline submission is a pain but otherwise there were no problems. I'm earning my A by working for it...that's how it should be.

Very understanding when I had an emergency. This class requires work but he will help you if you ask for it. Based on things i've heard about other classes, I'm glad I took this one.

Departmental exams blow. Webct is a real m*****. He does give good directions and lets you know what is expected.

Interesting subject & I learned a lot. I'm glad I took this course.

Took this class a while ago. It was a lot of work but am using things learned here in other classes. I'm really comfortable speaking now!

Exams are rough (departmental) so it's the same in every class. Speechs require work but you will get through it if you pay attention to instructions.

The class is not easy so be prepared to study. Do the work and you will actually learn something. I like his teaching style because he motivates us to join in the learning process. This works well for me.

I was not looking forwward to public speaking but I ended up enjoying it! He gives very clear instructions and was very encouraging.

My class was fun and I met some interesting people by hearing their speeches. He also helped us with the required outline submissions by doing it via email instead of webct. I recommend this Prof.

He was both helpful and friendly. If you listen to directions, do the work, and attend class things will go well. The attendance bonus is an added plus. The extra points are worth it!

Good guy!! I enjoy his sense of humor.

Take him, you will thank me later.

I had fun. I made a B.

Things move fast in the summer but he really helped me out. Great Teacher!

I'm glad I took him for COM 111 because he really seems to care about his students.

He gives clear directions. You can tell he likes to see his students do well. I recommend him.

Great debate coach and great instructor!

He was a great teacher! I have always been terrified of public speaking, and he understood that, and really helped me get through his class. He really cares about his students and is very passionate about what he teaches! Great teacher to take!

He's a good teacher who is very helpful if you drop by the office. I'm making an A so far and have not found this class overly difficult although it would be easy to fall behind if you're not careful.

very great guy........some think he's hard but i thought he was alright just do your speeches on time and if you ever have problems with outlines he's willin to help ya out

We had several fun activities and I had a good time in his class. New freshman should take Jeffcoat for SFA 101. I'll be taking him for speech as well.

The class was a bit slow at times because I already knew the information. Activities kept things interesting. His class was not difficult so I can't imagine anybody not passing. The FREE career test reveals good information if you spend some time to think about your results.

Here is a simple formula for success in this class: All you need to do is follow directions closely, ask for help with outlines, and study the book for the departmental exams. He was really helpful when I asked questions and I ended up liking the class more than I expected.

Good teacher, good class. Follow his directions and you will succeed. He spells it out for you so all you have to do is what he asks. Excellent study guide for the final exam!

I found him to be friendly and helpful. We were challenged but that's ok. I'd take him again if I needed another communication course.

really great professor. willing to help. very approachable, wants students to succeed. took him for debate and had to compete with debate team to get an A, but otherwise not that hard.

I didn't know what to expect going in because I knew nothing about debate. I ended up liking this class. Lots of activities that make you think and good study tips for the exams. Take him if you can!

friendly...helpful...encouraging...gives clear directions...ok class if you follow directions and study for tests...attendance counts so go to class

if you're looking to get your credit and get on with your life, being the debate coach he is, he'll load on some more for ya. dammit all

He gives very clear directions so follow them and things will go well. The class is easy if you show up and LISTEN. An office visit for outlining help was time well spent and I now understand how to do well in this class. The key to success here is to pay close attention to instructions...then follow them.

tells you just what he wants and grades accordingly. this works well for me. some classmates make things much harder than necessary by not following directions. use the studyguide for exams.

I made an A in his class and a lot of other people in my class did too. He was a hard but good teacher and from experence that's normal the correct combination for a good teacher. I really didn't study all that much. Do the review and just looked over them for no more than an hour and yo'll do fine. Don't let him scare you in the beginning.

His class is a bit of a challenge and requires some effort but now that we are near the end I am glad I took him because i feel more confident and secure when speaking even tho it is not easy to do at times. 5 speeches and 3 exams are where the grade comes from along with attendance so B sure and go to class everyday or your grade will tank.

He's a good professor and the class is moderately easy if you pay attention, don't be afraid to ask for help, show up for class, and do the assignments. Reading some helps on the exams, but the reviews in the workbook are great! This class really helps with communication abilities and he didn't play favorites in our class to any one gender.

He is the best prof I had this semester. The class taught me a lot about sounding organized and intelligent when speaking.

I was scared to take speech!!! I still hate speaking in public, but not as much. Jeffcoat is very straight-forward. He tells you exactly what to do, and then expects perfection.

Jeffcoat is very nice, but he expects you to follow directions. If you do everything he tells you to, then you'll do fine. He expects you to work hard, but he'll help you find resources for your research and he's very encouraging. He's picky about details like the size of your notecards (4x6)! Read the directions!

Very straight forward class. Path to success is explained the first day. Tests are departmentalized and you will need to study the text and workbook. I followed his directions and did just fine. I know from the group speech that some classmates just don't apply themselves. I did the required work and things turned out OK.

Jeffcoat interrupts a lot for being an interpersonal com teacher. It's not a difficult class if you just do the work and read the chapters. Some people find him annoying, which he can be in ways, but just do you work and ask for help if you need it, and you'll do fine.

Fairly intense class because the subject has a lot of information to learn. Jeffcoat is good at helping if you need assistance. Follow instructions, don't miss class and study if u want to do well.

he follows the rules strictly. he sometimes thinks his class is the only one you are taking. try your best in the debates and go to him for help when your confused, it helps. half of his tests are vocabulary. great professor. defintiely recommend taking his class.
