Very helpful, great teacher, likes his job, easy class and you learn alot
awesome teacher! he lets you pick your speech topics and is pretty leinent with everything else. Hes a councilor as well, so hes pretty open and tells stories and wants to hear you talk too. Highly recommended!
he is really good teacher and it is an easy A. Midterm and final are take home. easy as it gets.
He is good teacher. kinda curses too much, but I guess who doesn't. Very helpful. understanding
it is impossible to fail this class unless u do not try, it might be hard to get up and give out a speech, but he makes it easy, the tests are not hard at all, and he is very helpful.
Prof. Graham is a great guy, he can always give a presentation, never make it boring, always can keep his class focused in without falling asleep, and he's enthusiastic. Keep up on the good work!
Yeah Mr. Graham is cool as teacher. He teaches you the best way to give speechs..and he cool and down to earth... I dont see how any could fail the class. Its just that simple.... do the speeches pass the class.

this guy is not only one of the best teachers i ever had in my college years but also a friend. his teachings has taught me so much that everytiime i go to a seminar or like if there is a special speaker; coach grahm would pop in my head and then the outli
He's one of the easiest prof. very interesting, and motivating prof. his class is near imposible to fail. You have to make greater affort to fail then to get A. I recomend him to every1 and any1. His class is not boring i had him for a 3hr night class. And i didnt get bored so you can imagine. Very down to earth prof. HIGHLY RECOMENDED!
steves an awesome teacher!!
Good teacher, real easy going.
Very fun. Makes giving a speech each week very easy, not too stressful. He helps you to feel comfortable infront of the class. He likes to have fun with everyone, and joke and that makes the class a lot more comfortable (for me).
Not a beginning intro to speech. He makes it advanced. Not very helpful, and extremely full of himself. He expresses the need to be tolerant and then he does the exact oposit.
Mr. Graham is an awesome teacher. I was scared to death to speak in class and he made it incredibly comfortable. I would take another class with him anytime. Kept us entertained through a 3 hour night class and thats pretty awesome.
Mr. Graham was a great teacher. He makes everyone accountable for showing up and giving their best effort. I don't know anyone in my class that showed up everyday and tried hard that didn't pass. I am surprised to say that Speech 1A was one of my favorite classes.
Best teacher ever! Very helpful, very informative and very understanding. Best class I ever had. Brent Jones
Mr. Graham is one of the best teachers I have ever had. He is very informative and explained thoroughly what was expected from us as students. I highly recommend him as a teacher for Communications Studies 1A at Delta College.
I don't like talking in front of the class. But he encourage you to do your best and very helpful pointers to help you improve as you go along in the semester. He is a cutie!
Great Teacher, he knows his stuff. You will have fun and learn to give a good speech.
He was great and an awesome teacher. I definitely recommend him. He did step by step for the students to feel comfortable speaking in front. Class was very interesting and never did I get bored for a 3-hr class at night. Take him and I guaranty...no regrets!
interesting and fun
Changed my life!
Mr Graham is one of the most easy going ,cool ,casual and helpful teachers Ive come across.He makes the class enjoyable ,creative and intresting.Was of great help to me in every way of my academic career.Thank u Mr,Graham.Keep up the great work and yeh hes a BB rockstar!!
Coolest class ever! really fun and interesting. We did something new every class, and his random quizes are funny.
GREAT teacher, FUN class. Mr. Graham was extremely helpful in many ways, and I learned A TON. You will need to work hard and listen well to get a good grade, but it's not terribly hard if you really work at it. I'm telling you all right now that if you want to guarantee yourself a great and fun teacher, Mr. Graham's class is the one to take. :)
It's been a while since I've had a FAVORITE TEACHER! He's very down to earth and fun teacher! He knows what he's talking about, he makes it easier for me to understand! I ENJOY even his lectures! this a teacher I would recommend to anyone!
Mr. Graham is the best teacher ever! He makes speech easy and fun... not scary at all. Defintely take his class! And he is so hot too!
Great teacher, super easy to understand, very realistic, and funny. Lets you know exactly what is expected from the begining. There is alot to learn from him. He is a very smart guy.
one of the best teachers ive had so far. just do the work (which isnt that hard) and youll pass easily. i highly recommend him.
Great instructor, he makes class fun and interesting. there's work, but it's worth it and help with the speech. help student understand and make it not boring. the type that actually teaches instead of those that read the books. I recommend Graham for all students and especailly summer. It will fly by.
Great instructor, make class educational and interesting. fun class and easy to learn. there's work but it benefit you with the speech. learning it fun and makes class comfortable. Graham is the type that actually teaches you instead of those that read from the book. Books not required so that's cool. helpful and funny guy, makes you want to show u
I highly recommend Mr. Graham! He is an awesome teacher and he is always willing to assist you. He makes the class very interesting and he is very funny. He has simple rules that you have to follow like no cell phones. He's one of the best teachers I've ever had. :)
HE'S THE BEST.SERIOUSLY.I HAVE TO SAY HE'S THE FAVORITE TEACHER NOW. IVE MET A LOT BUT HE CLEARLY IS GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES. HE IS VERY HELPFUL AND EXPECTS YOU TO DO WELL.NOT ONLY DOES HE HELP YOU ON THE SUBJECT, BUT ALSO GIVES GREAT ADVICE FOR THE FUTURE.I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM.HE'S NOT ONE TO PUT YOU TO SLEEP. =D
he's not like any other teacher, he's a friend too.
he is INCREDIBLE. he helps his students a lot. i did my outline wrong and i requested him to give me one more chance and he actually did. he is helpful. i highly recommend him.
Mr. Graham is a great instructor. If you're shy or English is your second language, I recommend you take his class. He?s very empathetic, and he will make you feel comfortable. I guarantee, you won?t regret taking his class.
Really easy. Took it as a late start, lots of extra credit opportunities, easy homework-chapter outlines, 4 speeches. Fun class
It's awesome to have a professor that loves what he's doing. He's passionate about his work (especially since he's head of the school's Speech and Debate team) so it's easy to listen to him and know he's credible. Class is never a bore. He's not a student, but he doesn't act all high and might or dull and boring. Great class, great lessons!
I had him for communication he is help, he demands you be there on type or you get docked. Also he isn't very linent on anything so don't try to persuade him. He makes you do lots of notes from your book. He helps by trying to get you in the class and that it, if you need other help he'll tell you to go to the writing center!!
GREAT TEACHER..INSPIRATIONAL..FUN CLASS
As long as you come to class, do the work, he is very good about grading in my opinion. Before taking this speech I was terrified of public speaking but Mr. Graham changed that..for the most part. He at least made me feel comfortable speaking in our class..Thanks Mr. Graham
He looks like Huge Laurie from house with glasses. Hes a pretty good teacher, the only problem is you get no elbow room in his class for assignments. There are not a lot of assignments in the grade book so if you miss one it can hurt you pretty bad. He has lots of extra credit opportunities but there is a cap on points you can get.
Mr. Graham was great and so was his class! I took it in a learning community. It was a great idea to have the LC because you really got comfortable with the other students. Graham was very helpful and nice. Strict when it came to speech time but it was worth it. Put in the effort and you'll get an A. Extra credit was available :)
He's nice, and all, supportive and what not, but I am taking his summer course right now, i'm like 5 points away from getting an A and he will not give extra credit. He won't budge. :/ I understand it's college and all but all my other teachers give at least 10 pts...
He is a great speech teacher. I f you go to him for help he will help you. A lot of people feel scared to go to him but don't because he is helpful and funny at the same time. If you do what he syas it works.
I love Dr. Graham! He is a really great teacher and knows what he's doing. He makes the class feel comfortable and made it way easier to talk in front of everyone. There are only two speeches and a final speech. Some tedious work in the text and taking notes, but other than that the class is pretty easy! I would definitely recommend him for speech.
Awesome. Enough said. I would take his class again just for kicks =)
I took the teacher this summer course and he was cool until he made this girl give a speech, which was a debate girl. And told the class after he wanted a speech like this. Also a lot of hw omg.. 15 to 20 pages of notes every day. You have to dress up, and ur speeches have to be 900 or 1200 words. It really sucked I ended up dropping that class.
Mr Graham strict. no is no and yes is yes. The material was so extensive,level for summer was just overthe top. Had to put in at least 2 to 3 hours per/day of HW He unnerved his whole audience by showing what was expected putting a advanced speaker 1st day. Sounded LIKE STANFORD. He expect same for speeches.Dont take!! I dropped clsss. STRESSFUL!!
Really really hard. Dont take him if you can take someone else. Expects to much from students, is not Harvard. Gives 5 chapters of notes in 4 days. The class was 55 people and in 4 days went down to 20!! Means its not good!
Took him for Com 1A and so far have A! he requires a lot of notes but you get enough time to do them. For speeches, just follow the format and you'll pass. definitely catch him in his office hours to help with your papers. ONLY 3 SPEECHES!
He believes in you and wants you to succeed. He is always there to help through email or office meetings. He provides a class textbook for you if you don't have one. He pushes you to your best potential. I would take this class again, in fact, I'm taking another one of his other classes next semester. Best teacher I ever had
This class is a great class to take if you want to be successful in life. I promise you will fail in life if you do not succeed in this class! He is a great teacher he does not assign hard work and its not a lot of homework. He makes it very easy for you and gets you comfortable in class. He lets you eat in class and even has a coffee machine!
Grahams class is a great opportunity to get comfortable with public speaking. He is the best professor on campus by far to set you up for success. However, dont take his class for granted. If youre not on top of homework or skip class you will fall behind quickly so take advantage of help when he offers it, which is always.
Dr. Graham was an awesome teacher this semester. I took his 6:30am COMMST 1A class. It was hard getting up but I made it. The Training Manual was available in the bookstore for $5-$6 but had EVERYTHING laid out for the semester. There wasn't even a need to bring paper to class because most assignments we laid out in the TM.
Dr. grahams class was a great experience in public speaking, there are several group projects which you get points for. There are 3 speech outlines that are due throughout the semester, which he provides an outline that shows you exactly how it should be written. There are 15 chapters that you will take notes on and the chapters aren't too long.
I enjoyed this class immensely. Graham is a great professor and cares about his students success. There are in class debates which are fun and not something to be scared of. I am taking him again next semester and super excited to have him as a professor again. The homework load is spread out and easy to do, focus on the debate outlines.
Dr. Graham is tough on his students because he knows our potential. He takes public speaking very seriously as it is a crucial life skill. There is no wiggle room to slack off. You are going to need to be ready to put 100% effort to get an A but don't let it scare you. He is so nice and is willing to help you as much as you need. He is the best!
Dr. Graham has a heart of gold and steel, he knows what students are capable of. He is aware of our potential and because of that, wants the best for each of them. I immensely enjoyed his class as it further developed my horrible communication skills into a decent skills but because of that, I have acquired the courage to get out there.
This class environment was so open and accepting I loved going to class every day. Dr. Graham is easy to communicate with and truly wants you to succeed. As long as you engage in the classroom and participate you will get an A!!
I was not good at speaking in front of people before I took this class but now I' m a little bit better at it. Practice the speakers' triangle while you are practicing your speech. Look at your note cards if you need to so that you don't get nervous and lose your place. Sign up to see him to help with your speech or outline if you need the help.
One of the best teachers on campus
Probably the best professor Ive had yet at delta !
Definitely warmed up to this professor mid semester. Hes funny and nice. You can just chill the whole semester except for three times when he assigns the three speeches. Those are the only times you gotta work hard.
I was dreading to take speech, but I ended up doing way better than I thought in Graham's class. Do your chapter notes because they are easy points, and I would recommend making deadline for choice. Don't be afraid to ask him for feedback on your outline, that's what he is there for. Graham definitely sends out good vibes in his class.
I was dreading taking speech class as I hate public speaking. But Professor Graham made it not so bad, he gave clear grading material and was very helpful with giving feedback and extra help if needed. As long as you get your outlines done and try your best during the speech delivery youll definitely pass.
Best Professor I have ever had hands down!!! He really cares about his students and wants the best for them to succeed. He is fair, we didn't have a lot of homework, mainly just the speeches. I definitely recommend taking him.
Dr. Graham is BY FAR the best professor at delta college. He is accessible outside of class if you need it. He will try to help you as much as he can. Attendance is mandatory. If you're late you get points taken away. He is one of the most organized professors at delta college. make sure you do all your assignments and you should pass.
BEST professor I've ever had. Super organized, has clear expectations set day one, and makes it easy for you to succeed. Cares a lot about his students. Genuinely enjoys his job. Accessible--would recommend going to his office hours. He is also very knowledgeable about classes, transfer req's, etc. Could double as a counselor. LOVE HIM. 10/10
Prof. G was at first intimidating, but after you have proven your seriousness as a student by your first speech he warms up to you and is funny. Attendance is a major part in your attendance so don't try to skip. If you do miss a class, he encourages you to attend his other class to make up for attendance. For finals do the competition! It's EASIER
The best in his field, but I didn't even realize it until the speech tournament at the end of the semester. Graham's students killed it (its the final, we had to) while others just showed up for extra credit. There's only 2 speeches. He gives real life advice and really wants everyone to succeed and be happy. He has extra books if u cant afford it!
The best professor in Delta! I was scared taking his class but he really made it easy for me to get up and talk in front of the class. He is very chill intelligent professor and he has a coffee machine plus he sometimes brings donuts for his students which its nice! �� Taking him again in fall! Cant wait !!
Dr. Graham for the win!!!! He is super clear in his syllabus. You cannot fail this class! Very organized. Once you take his class, I guarantee you will become more confident in speaking in public. There's 3 speeches, but the last one you can basically choose your expository or persuasive to tell in front of a different crowd and record it.
Dr. Graham is Gold! He is seriously an awesome person and an even better Professor. There was never any confusion on the syllabus. You give 3 speeches during the semester and take quizzes online. He's not a tough grader but does expect you to try your hardest. All you have to do is show up, be ready and willing to learn and do the work.
Dr. Graham is literally the BEST professor at Delta! He is so funny, charismatic, inspirational, and just overall a great guy. He is extremely organized with all the course material. He genuinely cares about his students and wants them to succeed. He pushes you to your best potential and if you are ever struggling with something, he will help you!
Honestly, my absolute favorite professor to have ever taken on Delta's campus. He's not only hilarious, Professor Graham is extremely easy to get along with. Super down to earth, professional, and chill. You learn so much from this guy! Great class, great atmosphere, and an environment I was excited for DAILY! Clear instructions and super easy clas
Take him for public speaking while you still can. He's the best professor that makes students feel more comfortable presenting their speeches. Make sure you read the chapters for quizzes because it's tricky. There are 3 outlines, it is not that difficult but ask him if needed help. You only do 2 speeches and he's not a tough grader so take him.
Com1A 8 week course for spring was so much better than Id imagine! I registered for this class terrified as heck, but Graham took a lot of that anxiety away by making his students feel more comfortable every time we spoke in front of the class. He gives really good feedback and truly wants the best for everyone. You just have to want it yourself!
I have horrible anxiety, especially when it comes to public speaking. I signed up for his 6:30 a.m. COMST01 class after reading many reviews he was a great professor. COVID-19 hit and it made our class all online, which was good luck for me, however, I still managed to give a good speech online, and he gave amazing feedback. I recommend his class!
Show up to class and you will at least pass with C. Try a bit harder and you'll get an A. Not much work, very easy grader and gives a lot of slack to students. Has plenty office hour times also work with your schedule If needed.
I enjoyed taking Professor Graham's speech and debate class. Textbook is required but no heavy reading. He gives great feedback, and the lectures helped me understand the criteria better. He has a sense of humor which makes the class entertaining. There are group projects and assignments aren't too heavy. One of the best Professors!I recommend him!
Took him for Com 1A online because of the pandemic. His class was very well organized and made sure you were prepared for the speeches. Enjoyed doing the 2 speech assignments.
He is a well respected man, I however did not like this class only because I hate public speaking but if you need the class I recommend taking professor Graham, he is helpful and tells you exactly what you did wrong and right
Professor Graham is the best teacher that you could have for Public Speaking. Coming from someone with social anxiety, he made the experience tolerable. He is tough, but only wants to see you succeed and grow. Beware that if you take this class online, there WILL be group work (as you will need an audience for your speech presentations).
This class was easy in my opinion, but only if you stay on top of your work and plan out everything. Only take this class if you are able to keeping up with the load. You have to read 1-2 chapters a week and take a quiz. But you will have to participate in discussions often.
Professor Graham is one of the best professors Ive ever encountered. You will not be disappointed. I recommend him to all of my friends needing to take public speaking. He really cares about his students & makes the work enjoyable. I wish there were more professors like him. AMAZING. Keep up with your work, try your best, & you will do just fine.
I enjoyed Dr. Graham's class. He has a great personality and energy. He taught me how to debate and argue more efficiently. I enjoyed it, very engaging and fun - maybe that's because I enjoy public speaking. Assignments for this class consist of properly outlining your case and then arguing against/for it in class. Love this guy, cheers Dr. Graham
Dr. Graham is probably the best public speaking professor you can hope for if you are apprehensive about speaking in public. There are a total of 3 speeches: expositional, persuasive, and the final. Make sure you pay attention to the rubric and the example speeches, this is where most of the criteria comes from. He is a very understanding grader.
He is very clear with what he needs you to do, so it was easy to follow. He is easy to get a hold of and really does help you out with anything you are struggling with.
OMG TAKE THIS CLASS. I can't stress enough how amazing professor Graham is. I recommend him to everyone. His class is so well structured so you never feel lost. He makes public speaking feel easy. I am a very shy person so I was scared to take ps but professor Graham took that fear away. Such an amazing class.
I took his 8-week class and I had a great experience with it. He gives great feedback and willing to help his students. I have an anxiety when it comes to public speaking, but after taking his class, my confidence has lifted.
I admit, I was a little intimidated by Dr. Graham at firs. As someone who's pretty nervous when it comes to Public Speaking, Dr. Graham completely blew me away: his grading criteria is very clear, and he will help you if you reach out! If you need to take Public Speaking, go with Dr. Graham! I can't emphasize enough just how amazing his class is.
This is my second time taking public speaking, I really loved this class take this calls with the prof. He just makes the process really easy provides you with many examples and gives good feedback I took an 8 week course with prof graham its duoble i really enjoyed his class
Professor Graham is amazing! Tests, quizzes, and homework is very clear and easy as long as you read the modules. There were two speeches, and he really helps students prepare for them and makes sure that everyone understands!
Mr. Graham made public speaking easy for me personally, and actually did a better way of teaching English than my actual English teacher! Haha! He's kind, funny, and VERY easy to communicate with! Gives you lots of time for your speeches but be sure to not fall behind! This is an easy class only with proper time management!
TAKE THIS CLASS! Professor.Graham is such an amazing professor. Provides amazing feedback. He truly wants you to succeed in this class. One thing though I recommend getting ahead on assignments or at least not falling behind because he does doc off points if you submit late work.
Professor Graham is an excellent teacher who makes it comfortable to ask questions and ask for feedback. He is somewhat of a tough grader, but I would definitely take his class again. I went into this class thinking I was gonna fail, but I walked out learning many new things I will definitely use in the future.
Professor Graham is amazing. If I could give a 10/5 I would. His class on Canvas is SO organized. The notes are so put together and easy to find answers in. There are two speeches: expository and persuasive. He has assignments for steps and this class is just amazing. Take him!!
Dr. Graham aka Dr. G was by far one of the BEST professors I have had at Delta College. I would definitely recommend him for Public Speaking, he actually makes this fun!
I took public speaking with Dr. Graham this summer. I really enjoyed his class. He is very organized and his assignments are clear. He makes himself easily accessible when you need him. We had two speeches in total. I would recommend him to anyone especially if you are fearful of public speaking. He is a great, caring professor.
I love Dr. Graham! He really cares for his students and wants to make sure we all succeed. He's very quick at responding messages, responds within a day or even a few hours. There are 2 speeches, and you have to either do it in a Zoom call with 5 adults, or in person with 5 adults. It's really worth taking his class. I passed with an A.
Amazing professor. I was terrified of public speaking but he made the class so easy. He is thoughtful on his feedback and will answer any question you have promptly. He is a pretty easy grader. 10/10 would recommend. 10/10 would take this class again :)
He was a very understanding and accommodating teacher. I took his class for summer and as someone that is terrified of public speaking he made it enjoyable. He made us practice a lot before actually doing the big speeches which really helped out a lot. His lectures were also enjoyable and short. I would definitely recommend his class!
Accelerated & online. You have 3 speeches total, & he helps you step-by-step for 2 of them. He has very clear grading criteria, usually grades the same day, & gives decent feedback, but peer reviews are most helpful! The course, reading, & videos are organized well. The quizzes are simple & never timed. Overall, he seems caring & accommodating!
Prof. Graham's class is well-organized and easy to follow. He gives templates to use for your speeches, you just have to fill in the blanks. I received lots of helpful feedback throughout the class. The answers for the quizzes were easy to find in the readings. The speech topics to choose from were really interesting. Stay on schedule to succeed.
Extremely well organized. He gives example outlines and one that you can just fill in and use for all your debates. He gives great feedback on debates and assignments so you know what to fix. You will need the textbook to pass quizzes but its like $10 online. He will work with you if you need help, very caring and understanding. AMAZING PROFESSOR!!
Amazing professor!
Professor Graham is an amazing professor, truly. His teachings are easy to follow and clear. I felt like he really cared for me as a student and wanted me to succeed. He has guided notes that are definitely helpful and shows many examples of what he wants from you. I wish all professors were like him cause he's the best.
Before taking this course, understand that time commitment needs to be available when taking this course. You are going to have to put in the work and effort to be successful in your outlines, speeches, and peer reviews to receive a good grade. Once the assignment is turn in make sure to do your best because the professor is a tough grader.
Professor Graham is very organized. His grading criteria is easy to understand and follow. He wants you to succeed in his class, and he offers all the tools you need to get a good grade. Make sure to read all material and turn in assignments ahead of time.
I am not a public speaker, but I did well in this class due to the clear instructions, helpful feedback, and supportive professor. One of the best speech experiences I have had, which I believe was due to the professor. I took an 8-week course, so the workload was hefty at times but still able to be finished in time.
Dr Graham is one of the best professors I've had all year. His class was very straight forward, and he explains everything you need to do to be successful in his class. As long as you don't fall behind and do the assignments on time, you'll do great. His format of teaching is very organized and if you have any questions he will answer quickly.
The golden key to passing Professor Graham's class is to watch all the videos in the modules and read every reading to the best of your ability. You will have three speeches in total, expository, persuasive, and your introduction and message to the next class of students. The professor responds quickly to canvas messages. Stuck? Ask questions!!
Prof Graham was great. This class is easy as long as you stay on top of your assignments because there is a lot due throughout the week. He also gave us zoom sessions to have audiences for our speeches which really helped me because you need a min of 5 ppl to watch your speeches and I don't have anyone lol 10/10 recommend.
He is very tedious, and it can be annoying, but also very thorough with directions. He definitely expects you to be perfect at the end of your course which can affect your grade. But overall if you just follow his directions you can pass with a high grade. I would take his class again.
Prof. Graham makes public speaking easy with his organized class and helpful feedback. Utilize unstuck study for efficient speech prep alongside the free course materials. An engaging class that boosts confidence!
Simply the best. If you are going to enroll in COM 1A, take his class. He will guide you towards success with his clear grading criteria, positive feedback, and welcoming classroom environment. This class was one of the best classes I ever took at Delta. He really leaves an impact on you with his positive attitude. I 10/10 recommend Dr. Graham!
Best professor I've taken at Delta, everything good you hear about him is because it's true! I struggle a lot with anxiety and was really hesitant if I'd pass the class, but Professor Graham is really understanding, and I made so much growth. I really recommend that you don't fall behind, just stay on top of everything and you should pass.
This course has a lot of work which might be overwhelming but if you create a solid schedule, you will be okay. Professor Graham grades work pretty fast and gives good feedback on assignments. You will have to do two speeches but professor Graham will help you out a lot in writing those speeches.
Great personality and every class with him talking is nice and interesting. You have two speeches you have to make and present to the class, but he walks you through every step. After the first few weeks each class is just listening to speeches with no homework but practicing/working on your speech.
I was SO nervous for this class, but Mr. Grahm is super calm and nice, which makes this class a lot less scary. He will walk you through every step to create a great speech. There are 2 major speeches that are a bug part of your grade. As long as you do ALL of the assignments and quizzes, and practice your speech, you should do good!
I had a tough semester due to some life happenings but Professor Graham was really understanding and accommodating! He just wants his students to succeed in any way possible and that means a lot to most people. His content was very easy to follow and his class overall was an easy course to take.
I fell behind due to intimidation about the first speech, missed a lot of class/assignments but after talking to him, he let me turn in my work super late so I can get credit, he offered some extra credit opportunity, and helped me perfect my speech. He doesn't make you pay for a textbook, but he has guided notes that feel really long.
The best professor at delta hands down. I took 2 of his classes and if he weren't retiring and I could take more, I absolutely would. Thank you for everything Dr. Graham!
Dr.G was nothing short of amazing. There is a lot of reading from the free textbook. There are also discussion posts that you will have to keep up with every week and quizzes every week but it's so easy and manageable. I used to be terrified of speaking but he makes it inspiring ,fun and relatable. If I could take him for every class I would!
Dr. G was an amazing professor! This course is short (8-week) so it may feel overwhelming but if you take the time to plan out your assignments and manage your time wisely, you'll do great. No purchase necessary for the textbook and readings are helpful. Take this class! Dr. G is helpful and understanding!
