He made this a long and boring course. Can beat a dead horse forever seemingly ever. Cannot stop at one or 2 examples, keeps going and going and going and... You get the point. Watch out for the tests. They are very confusing multiple choices where you think any of the 4 could be the answer--even after you've read and studied the material.

I took this as a 3 credit class, so it wa pretty easy. It is fairly simple stuff and is not really hard to understand. One problem was that on tests, Tony is not very specific, and some students complained that it was confusing. However if you just ask Tony to explain, he will definately help alot. Only 3 tests, last one a take home. Recommended.

the material wasn't tough, but when i went to take the tests it was the difference between night and day. He would try and trick you with different questions. I studied and studied and studied, it didn't matter i always got C's and B's. And he bases everything on the tests so if your a bad test taker then you will do bad. Tests were MC,matching-bad

Tony is by far the best prof I have had in the 3 quarters I have been at Whatcom, he has tons of great stories and his teaching is very easy to follow and assignments are straight forward. Study guides were amazing and so was the class over all. Also, if you have a cool leather jacket you should wear it to class, he loves a good leather jacket.

Tony is extremely organized and a polished presenter, and he responds to emails. I wish he'd put his lectures on YouTube videos so we could devote class time to practical exercises/feedback and the group project. I wanted to actually become a better communicator, not just learn about communication theory, and I don't feel like I got much feedback.

Tony Is The Freaking Man! Hands down the best and friendliest Professor at the college! He tells great stories in class is very funny and ALWAYS wears a T-shirt shorts and flip flops. You could easily know him for an entire year and never see him in anything else. He is super chill and laid back! Must Take and basically NO HOMEWORK!!! GO TONY!!! :)

Tony is condescending, judgemental, mildly sexist, and doesn't actually listen to his students when they ask questions. Shows up to class 10 min. late every day. Half of the class is him talking about himself and the rest is poorly thought out outdated material (incorrect too) and lectures. Tests are confusing regardless of how much you study.

Show up late fifteen minutes every day and the only thing you will miss is the teacher discussing how much his cable bill costs, his workout routine at the gym, and the latest gossip around his condo board. It's an easy class, but the content he teaches could be done in half the class time if he could focus on what he's there to teach.

Tony is the worst teacher I have ever had. He was 10-15 minutes late every day and mostly talked about himself during lectures. What he did teach seemed outdated with sexist undertones. He would make extremely questionable remarks that made many of the female students uncomfortable. I am blown away that he is rated so highly and is still employed.

Tony is an amazing professor! His entire class is a blast; I was never bored or tired in it. He gives amazing lectures and taking notes was really easy to do. He gives you the exam questions ahead of time and they're really easy if you know the answers to those questions he gives ahead of time. The class project is okay... just do your part

Tony only wants to talk about one thing and that is Tony. Honestly I haven't learned much from his class because I have to tune out the stories of his condo association. He does lay out the material for us but he could probably stop bragging about his unimpressive life and use real examples that young people can relate too.

Tony is so full of himself and acts like he is the crown jewel of teaching. He is the worst communicator which is hilariously ironic given that he has a PhD in communication. He uses derogatory language, outdated material & covers it by saying that's his experience/opinion. He spends the entire class talking about his achievements, his condo, etc.

I loved Tony Will and thought he was a great professor. There was hardly any homework and the exams were easy. Contrary to other reviews about him, he was never late to class, and only talked about himself when he had a real life example of the topic we were discussing. The material was slightly outdated. You also don't really need the book.

Tony was awesome - we had one discussion due every week reflecting on the material(which was always a short chapter)proving that we had learned something. Super helpful, 3 exams in the quarter, but they are really easy and the answers are plainly in the lectures he posts.

He seemed unprepared and took a long time to grade quizzes and assignments Quizzes were submitted as text entries which was weird for an online course. There's no textbook only online PowerPoints amd "Lectures." The lectures consisted of one page of text.

Pretty light workload, some weeks you don't even have to do anything but read through the lecture. 1 group project, 3 exams that are pretty easy. Most weeks there's 1 discussion, those aren't hard either. He takes a while to grade, but isn't harsh. Just not very involved, I forgot I was even taking the class several times.

Dr. Will's course was a bit challenging with reading the textbook. The amount of reading we had to do and how long the chapters are is overwhelming. A trick that I learned was that if you read the chapter overview in Canvas then you would pass on the tests. I would take this however you want to if passing the course is all that is required.

Only had 5 assignments throughout the quarter, 3 were tests, 1 was attendance (3 points per class meeting, with two excused absences), and 1 was a paper-- definitely good if you're low on time. He does tend to go on side-tangents, but overall a good teacher.

this teacher has multiple tests and 2-3 speeches and a few discussion boards and thats it. make sure you read the material as all tests rely on your knowledge of the readings. fair grading on the speeches. he is very kind and wants you to do well in his class.

This class wasn't particularly hard, the material was easy and accessible. The only problem i had was with the professor. He was very snappy at students that weren't his favorite, made rude or just straight weird comments. he also doesn't understand what a belt is for, every single class we see his underwear.

Class was very difficult and attendance is mandatory. If you miss more than 2 classes, you will be dropped a letter grade. Exam questions will not be clear, and difficult to understand. You can take it up to interpretation and he will disagree with you. He rambles 60% of class and talks about useless and personal stuff not relating to the class.

the most pointless class i've ever taken. so boring, i had to bring little crafts to do and my airpods every day so i didn't scream. he never even talked about the content either, always rambling about his condo or who even knows what. unless you're one of his very few favorite students (typically a young cishet white boy) do not take his class.

Tony's CMST210 class was an interesting mix. The material was manageable, but the professor's teaching style divided opinions. To succeed, be prepared to tune out the tangents and use resources like the textbook and Unstuckstudy for study support.

he was kind of unclear on grading, we do weekly discussions that are worth points on Canvas but don't count towards grades but then there's "optional" Q&A discussions with no points but they are deducted from your overall grade. Also his online tests are a Canvas text box and he gives no feed back so you don't know what answers you got wrong.

As long as you are make an effort to participate, this class is extremely easy and fun to pass! I had a lot of chances to get to know the people in class with me, plus got extra credit for only missing a class or two. If a test question is giving you trouble (take home test) I would just ask for help and he'd help us all find what we need.

Didn't teach anything at all. Exams were hard and weren't clear. Sometimes the content aligned with the "lectures" but not often. Also only grades with exams, but doesn't assign actual real work other than discussion posts. I hear more feedback from my peers rather than from my professor. The textbook didn't make much sense or help me at all. ,

Super nice and entertaining, but you don't learn very much. He talks ALOT and goes over every point in absurd detail. Easy grading and as long as you participate you're practically guaranteed an a. highly recommend for short classes, hard to stay focused for anything more than 2 hours though.
