You have to make sure that you just sit there listen to him talk and don't say anything, cuz this guy gets mad really easily and he will embarrass you in-front of the whole class! But as far as the class itself, VERY easy class. Make sure you do the work on time, do the online posts, do 3 speeches, get you A and get out!don't get on his bad side!!

I did not like this professor the second he walked in. Has way too much attitude! Thinks way too much of himself! Always putting his students down! But besides that, the class is very easy, and anyone should be able to walk out with an A and thats if you are willing to put up with his attitude and ignorance!

He's really cool, I have a habit of coming really late to class...he doesn't give you much as other professors. Oh, he takes attendance at the very end of class. The only issue I have is HW and discussions on blackboard...He takes them off so fast and not even within 24 hrs. This just means you have to do them first thing that day right after class

Professor Luscher is a really nice guy with a weird sense of humor. I'm constantly laughing in his class! The class is really easy. All you have to do is complete your homework/discussions and 3 speech assignments (Informative, Persuasive & Group) and you'll be sure to get an A. The textbook is never used in class; but you do need it for the exam.

He's one of the easiest teachers I've ever had. The lowest grade I've ever received from him was a 90. I've seen some pretty bad speeches done in his class but he always gives at least an 80! The only reason to get a bad grade is to not show up for your speech. Super easy and pretty funny. I would recommend him!

This online class is no joke. If you are a slacker do not take this class. Professor Luscher grades fairly, however you must apply yourself and complete all of your assignments. The speeches are hard to record because you have to gather your own audience, which can be nerve recking also there is a lot of reading. Overall, I got an "A".

If you are taking the speech communication class online, this is the best professor to pick.

NEVER HAS A PROFESSOR GIVEN ME MORE STRESS THAN THIS ONE. He doesn't notify you when the speeches are due- half my class (we started w/ 25 kids and then most people dropped mid-way) didn't get to turn the speech in. He barely communicates all semester and takes days to grade assignments or respond to emails. Continuing in another review.

Continued: I had a major death in the family at the end of the semester and he had no sympathy and I got a zero on another speech. & again, does not notify you when assignments are due.

I took this class online because of Covid-19, but he's an amazing professor, knows a lot about public speaking, and a incredibly nice guy. I had fun in his class. Do your speeches the best you can, no reason to be nervous with him! He gives great and useful feedback.

He's just amazing, one of the best teachers I've had so far. You can see that he really enjoys what he does. You have to submit quizzes every so often, but they are easy if you know how to work around the book. The group projects are fun, and his speech assignments are actually something you want to do. Loved this class. 100% recommend!!!!

He's a good professor, don't get me wrong. Very clear, accessible, nice, and not a hard grader. But OMG, the amount of work required! Every other day there's a quiz, a discussion post, and two responses to other people's discussion posts required, and on top of that the speeches you have to write, some as Powerpoints! I ended up having to drop out.

So many papers

Honestly I purchased the textbook ( never read the chapters, just used the text to cite for discussions). You have to put in a little time for this class but honestly this is the perfect professor , super nice ! Laid back! Actually gives good feedback , there is a group project and I fortunately got a great group! Easy project as well.

It was technically an in-person class, I took his class during corona so it was 100% Zoom. He went through some stuff at the time, and let us know way ahead of time that he would be canceling a class. He is super respectful, rarely uses the entire class time, we can either leave early or stay to ask questions. Easy but fair grader. TAKE THIS CLASS!

One of the best professors Ive had. Took him for humanities, and you can tell hes someone whos actually passionate about the humanities. Its really cool discussing some of the topics. I enjoyed his class. If anyone fails this class it is because theyre lazy and refuse to be proactive. Ask questions, email him etc. He will help you if you need.

One of the best professors hands down! This class was one of the easiest classes I have taken and it was all because of him. He very throughly explained each assignment and the requirements which allowed me to get A's on everything. The class consists of 4 speeches (3 individual, 1 group) and of 16 open note quizzes (piece of cake). I recommend it.

Professor Luscher is an excellent professor. He knows what he is talking about. In Public Speaking there is a lot of homework and a lot of quizzes, but they are not hard. Teaches through experience, for example, we did 3 presentations with different approaches. Very interesting, a lot of work though.

The class consists of quizzes due every other day that are very easy to complete and mostly questions that can be answered with common sense. need to do an intro speech, an informative, and a persuasive speech. You need to do an outline and peer/self reviews for two of them. the last speech is a group speech. Prof. Luscher is entertaining and fair

Great inspirational Professor. Class consists of easy quizzes, an intro speech, an informative speech, a persuasive speech & one group speech. You do an outline and peer/self reviews for 2 of them which is easy. He gives good feedback & isn't a tough grader. For me, who hates talking in front of people, he made it fun and I got an A in the class!

Great class! He explains how he wants things to the very last detail, so as long as you pay attention you will do well. Quite a few discussions and quizzes, but they're fairly easy. Your grade is mainly based on 3 speeches and one group project. Is lenient if you still need to submit work late and gives you a chance to always present your speech.

You have to write a 500-word reflection paper for each unit along with posting to a discussion board, both of which are incredibly easy if you read the unit. My advice: review the videos, texts, and activities in detail to score well on the midterm and final. I am not a good tester and got a 75 on the final exam and still left the class with an A.

If you choose to take Professor Luscher's speech class, be prepared to present in front of the class and speak publicly. His assignments are not difficult at all, and he does assign group projects. You will become a better public speaker after taking his class. I would recommend him if you're willing to put in the work.
