good easy teacher! i recommend him. he will joke around with you but nothing offensive. you give like 4 speeches plus a group project but it is easy though. grades pretty easy. quiz after every two chapters but you also have a group quiz right after then your done for the day!

Fun class, four speeches through out semester, two group presentations, and easy quizzes.

He was a very personable guy. His tests were extremely easy as long as you read or skimmed through the chapters. (And they were graded on a curve). 4 speeches, gave deserving grades, make sure you're prepared. 2 group projects, pretty easy, have to give Power Point presentation and do community service as a group. More work than thought there'd be

Nice guy, understands that not every student is a public speaker. He grades for effort not actual performance. 4 speaches, 2 group projects, GROUP tests (from book) 1 paper and a few other opportunities for extra points in case speach flops. Good teacher, cares about students getting through the class. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, esp. for us non-speakers.

I would say this teacher is of average quality, but how interesting can you really make a communications class?! There are 4 speeches which definitely need devotion and planning for. Quizzes are simple if you review the chapter summaries from the book. Most people in the class recieved and a or b.

Great teacher and works with you if you need help. He understands that it is difficult for students to speak in front of the class. But if you prepare and practice your speeches you will do fine, he grades fairly.

I love Mr. Neff! He is very understanding. He is always willing to help you, he is fun, not to mention he even has a hot wife. It is easy to pass his tests, all you have to do take notes, and read. He is recommended!

He is so nice, that some people take him for granted. Make sure you have note cards for your speech, and follow directions. He is a really good professor. But, if you don't show up for class and make an attempt to turn in your assignment, then that's a different story.

DO NOT BE LATE TO HIS CLASS!!!he takes points from your grade and if you happen to miss class he requires that you bring in a written excuse or else he takes points from grade.

This class will help get rid of your fear of speaking in public. Take it!!

His class is generally really easy. The only hard part is going up in front of everyone. Hes really understanding if something comes up in your life and miss something. The only thing I would recommend is to NOT be late.

Really good teacher. Had a personal problem come up, and he was very understanding. Quizzes are super easy, and final is a speech. Very fun and interesting class. Highly recommend this teacher!

He is an easy teacher, but your attendance it mandatory. If you follow the directions he gives you, you will pass. don't miss any assignments because he will drop your grade.

I loved his class! He really helps you get over your fear of public speaking. If you take him in the summer you have a speech a week along with 6 fairly simple quizzes. Two group projects and one in a community service one. I would definitely recommend him to anyone especially non public speakers.

Great and easy teacher. If you don't show up to class or are late don't expect to be getting a good grade. He teaches well and his tests are super easy. HIGHLY suggested you take comm with him.

theres no way to not pass this class, all you have to do is show up and do your speeches. no big deal! the quizes are super easy and he is a nice guy.

Gives too many assignments. Expects way too much research and prep for a beginners speech class. Had to attend and evaluate a speech, which isn't so easy if you don't attend church. Also expects big group project involving community service. Grades on a curve!

Great professor! Knows how to captivate students. Always keeping students interest in lectures. Answers all questions to the very detail. Speeches in class are not difficult. Course work will need to be completed to get a good grade. Over all EASY! and FUN

Mr Neff is a good teacher. His class is fun and he is nice. Just do the assignments and he is fair with your grade. He doesn't expect you to be a speech right away. At least try your hardest and don't miss his classes. You will get docked points for being absent

Neff had an overwhelming number of assignments (group projects, speech evaluation papers, 5 tests, outlined in the syllabus) and thinks we are already professional speakers. Don't brush off his class too much and you'll pass. I don't recommend him, I would have taken someone else.

Neff was a funny nice proffessor. I took him over the summer and i A's that class. Only 4 speeches. first one was not graded. You have fun in that class and you learn a lot.

Mr. Neff is a very good professor. I highly recommend him. Make sure you're always present to his class. He gives plenty of time to practice your speeches. Always participate during class discussion.

Mr. Neff is a very good professor and always on time. Expect easy quiz and read the book and group work.

Mr. Neff is a good professor. He helps students to understand concepts of communication and applies them to the real world. He's funny as well. If you study enough, you'll do well on the individual quizzes, but your group has to study too to help you do well on the group quizzes. I don't like giving speeches, but he made if fun.

Took class as a 4 week summer class. This is a VERY fast paced class and is true, you have a huge work load and not much sleep. However, I learned a lot and using the communications lab is a great help. He was a good and fair teacher.

I did not learn anything from this class. It was alot of unnecessary work and the quizes are hard. Mr. Neff is very helpful when it comes to questions you might have but He doesnt really prepare you for speaking infront of the class.If you dont mind the work take the class.

Professor Neff will help if you ask for it and responds to emails fast. He is very tough on the time of the speeches and you have to do them but it gets easier as you go. I took it hybrid and was an easy A. There are 4 tests and they are online so you can use google and the book. You can also take every test twice. I definitely recommend him.

Textbook heavy. Half of my class is online, so the assignments and tests were online. Once a week we review the chapter and meet with groups to finish assignments

Prof. Neff was great! He was entertaining and passionate. The class itself was hybrid with a weekly assignment, a midterm and final. There is a group project you work on all year, which is easy if you have good partners. I would absolutely take another class with him!

I took COM 101 over summer for the 4 week course, it's pretty intense. There are a lot of assignments, and the tests are based on the book so reading is a must. He does provide a study guide so you at least know what to look for as you read. It was an intense class but overall it wasn't too bad or hard.

As long as you do the presentations, outlines, and quizzes, you should do just fine. Let him know if you have any issues on your assignments DURING THE WEEK. He will not respond on weekends. Gets back super quick when you message him during the week.

Easy class and clear grading criteria and schedule.

Responds fairly quickly to emails. Easy discussions, two assignments a week, couple open book exams, and must do four hours of volunteer work for the final paper. Overall, easy class.

Took COMM 102 online. I have to say, it was the most organized course I've ever taken. We weren't required to purchase a paperback textbook, as the Cengage course contained an e-version. You should be smooth-sailing in this class - so long as you keep up with the assignments. And don't forget to get your volunteer hours in!

I took his hybrid class, six-week session over the summer, it very fast pace . Attendance counts towards your grade. All assignments are online as well as the midterm and final. Two speeches in class and a group project. Take this class by itself in the summer or take the regular 16 week session.

Great professor! I took this 8 week online corse and of course there is going to be a lot of work because it is an 8 week corse but it is SUPER easy. The assignments are due every week so you have a whole week to complete each assingment. You have to volunteer for 4 hours but it's super easy and clear grading. I WOULD RECOMMEND!!

He is an excellent professor, he respond right away when you have question. Very nice! Everything is in detail clearly.

At first I thought this class would be my worst enemy. In the end I think I learned so much I didnt know before and I really enjoyed the class overall. Do not miss or forget speeches bc those make up the majority of your grade. If you do the assignments and follow the rubric you will have no problems. He is particular about how he grades.

He always responded in a timely manner. As long as you do the work and put in the effort he's a great instructor. A little slow to grade. Other than that definitely worth taking his class.

Online class: Make sure to read all slides, If you do the work, you will pass the class. You will have a group project with five other people. Make. Sure, you reach out to your classmates beforehand. Also, make sure you communicate with Neff. He does take a while to respond, so be aware of that. You will have to buy an online textbook.

Class was easy but you have to not be lazy, like at all. Even though it is online, it is actually quite hard to keep up with the work if you are procrastinating. You will also need to record yourself in front of a live audience for some assignments. However, he doesn't do a lot of quizzes or exams, and when there is, it is really easy to do.
