He was awesome the first time he was teaching Comm 108 and he really loved my persuasive speech.
The professor is awesome. He really makes the learning in the class very interesting and fun ! It almost feels as if its an easy grade but thats only because the professor really teaches the course well. He really motivates his students to want to do better. I wish I could have him for all my classes.
I really enjoyed taking Com 108 with Professor Schelicher dont think i would have a similar experience with anyone else, thank you!
I love professor schleicher. he cares about his students and will do anything to help you out. TAKE HIM ! You wont regret it! He made this class so fun, and you get to know him a lot more than other professors. He is the BEST
Schleicher is hands down the BEST! Class is fun & interactive. It's easy to tell that he LOVES his job. His lectures aren't boring, often gives funny examples that stick in your mind. Fair grading with tons of feedback. Very approachable & understanding. I feel like I can go to Schleicher with a problem of any kind and he's always willing to help!
Professor schleicher is probably one of the best professors i have had. He gives great lectures, doesnt make them boring and adds a couple jokes to lighten the mood. Very educated in his subject and cares about his students. Definitely recommend!
He is an amazing professor, makes the learning environment comfortable and accepting. He is available out of class for help, gives great feedback and shares useful information that is happening around the campus. I recommend taking his class if you lack presentation skills, he really works with you to get the best possible outcome when presenting.
AWESOME. Really good teacher, he genuinely cares about all his students. He makes class fun to attend, attendance is required but he makes class entertaining so its not even like ur suffering. You honestly just have to show up and listen and you will pass no matter what. Has tests but its on what he teachers you. Very comfortable environment.
Schleicher is a decent professor considering his expertise and teaching experience. He knows his materials but sometimes give confusing examples (in addition to the textbook). Take his class seriously and you'll have an easy A.
Takes attendance every class that will be apart of your grade so make sure you show up. A little tough when he comes to grading speeches, but if you practice and make sure you gave what he asks for you will be fine. Exams are super easy if you pay attention to his lectures.
Hes lots of fun as a professor. I would definitely take the class. He creates a safe and comfortable environment for all the students. Work isnt too hard. He has high expectations for all his students.
If you're intimidated by public speaking, you're in great hands with Professor Schleicher. Practice, combined with his welcoming, friendly demeanor make public speaking a lot more of an enjoyable experience. His lectures are very straight-forward and they set you up to do well on upcoming tests. I'm glad i took his class, even if it was at 8 a.m. !
professor Schleicher is one of the best comm teachers at MC, it is a communication class so you have to participate a lot (speaking in front of the class multiple times as well as 3 graded speeches) He also goes over textbooks by using powerpoint slides(what he goes over is going to be on the test so be prepared to take notes and study!)
Best professor in the college
Only used book once. Lectures were based off the chapters. Definitions were clear. Comfortable environment which is nice for those of us who have difficulty speaking in front of others. Nice, understanding, and quick with email responses.
The best professor I've ever had!! He is so fun and his lectures are always interesting! Projects were easy and he was always available to help students. Just pay attention to lectures and you'll pass. Easiest A I could've ever received!!
Literally one of my favorite professors Ive had at MC! Grading is super fair: show up, participate once in a while, do all assignments, & theres no way not to pass. Hes clear about things, lectures arent boring, and he gets you out of your comfort zone by making you participate in a fun way. Really inclusive as he cares about all his students.
He is a brilliant professor. I took him in summer and his class was clear and simple to follow. There is never too much work to handle, but make sure you still do the work. The class was also very fun to learn because he provided very thought-provoking videos to watch. He also has a great personality, he is a very understanding professor.
Good online class fast pace class
Schleicher is a pretty easygoing professor. Initially, I was terrified of taking speech, but he makes the whole class a breeze. Discussion post are easy, chapters are easy to understand & short, and theres no heavy pressure to participate all the time. My only complaint is how the quizzes are only worth 5 pts. Definitely take his class for speech
Professor Schleicher is up there in my top 5 best profs. He has a positive attitude and tries to help students no matter what happens, his lectures and activities cover the material, and he is very clear on deadlines and assignments. He is a very solid option for a COMM professor.
If you're looking for a Comm108 professor. Look for further, Pro. Schleicher is such a terrific professor. If you have a public speaking phobia, Prof. Schleicher will authentically encourage you to overcome that! Also, his feedbacks is nothing but positive comments, which will eventually assist one in their life to become a better communicator. <3

Real fun and relatable teacher, and a generally good guy. He was understanding and lenient about assignments if you told him the truth about missing one. He made the material easy to understand and was a cheerful sport. Really lucky to have taken him.
I really enjoyed Professor Schleicher's class. There is a bit of participation pressure but i guess he wants to make the online class feel like an in person. He had a clear grading criteria for the papers but not so much for the speeches. I feel that it is hard to grade someone through a camera while giving a speech. Good and concise lectures
Great professor. Makes you feel comfortable in the class and helps a lot with speaking in front of others.
Literally one of the best professors I have ever had so far. Even though its a Communication class, he made it really comfortable for you to be able to talk in front of everyone! I truly do recommend him! The class in general is easy, not hard.
Seriously one of the best Professors I've had. Before beginning this class I was nervous because public speaking was never something I excelled at but Professor Schleicher made the whole process easier and more comfortable. I 100% recommend you take his class!
I took COMM 108 accelerated Fall 2021, he was amazing! Came to every class with a great attitude, class was never the full class time always left early. He's responds to emails with questions and concerns, makes class FUN and engaging even for Zoom. You'll see lots of pics of his adorable daughter! TAKE HIM, DONT LOOK FOR OTHER COMM PROFS!
I had a great experience with prof William he is very caring and make everyone speaks during his class by asking fun question such as "what's your favorite restaurant?." He doesn't judge student instead he enjoyed all our speeches even the worse one (mine). You must buy the book in order to pass the exams since the exam are not Easy A .
Schleicher is great. He is definitely knowledgeable about comms and wants to see his students succeed. He is not flexible with late submissions and his lectures alone did not cover the content on the quizzes and exams. He uses timed exams with questions that require thorough understanding. You will need to read and prepare notes for his exams.
The best professor I have had thus far! Super supportive, will always explain assignments and concepts when there is confusion, and is just an all-around great person. If you are taking COMM108 please take him!
One of the best professors I have had! He made the lectures interesting and always started the class with questions which made us all know a bit about each other. He makes himself available to you outside of class and gives great feedback. Pay attention, do the work on time, and you are all set! 10/10!!
He is a very good professor and takes away the fear of public speaking. As long as you read the chapters you will do fine on the quizzes and tests. Just be prepared to talk in the class and have discussions. I totally recommend him.
He is one of the best teachers I've had. He is a fantastic teacher. I am a shy person, but being in his class made me come out of my comfort zone, and I have learned a lot. You will not regret being in this class.
He is the best professor in the whole world! He takes his time to explain every chapter and makes it easy to understand. I usually don't talk much and this class helped me developed super useful skills for future situations. I love how he made the class feel as if it was in person. Excellent professor, I totally recommend him. 100/10!
Professor Schleicher made attending a 9 AM class bearable. His lectures were simple and straightforward. His ability to keep our attention during class was impeccable. If you're thinking about transferring after MC he is very resourceful as well :)
Take Professor Schleicher since he gives good feedbacks on paperwork and helps students overcome their fear when they are afraid to speak in front of other people. He also does the attendance game, like he would ask "What is your favorite dessert?" If you take good notes and read the chapters, the tests/quizzes will be easy.
Professor Schleicher's teaching style is outstanding. Very energetic, committed, positive, and concerned about students. If speaking in front of a group is difficult for you, please overcome it by enrolling in his class right now!
The best professor I've ever had. He keeps the class engaged and really created a comfortable environment. I was scared to take this class, but it actually ended up being one of my favorites. If you are someone who is shy or scared of public speaking, take his class by the end of the semester you won't be. I can't recommend him enough!
Professor Schleicher is a nice guy. He is extremely respectful, and his classes are engaging. However, do not let his smiles mislead you. When it comes to grading, he gets super hard. So be careful with that. Additionally, do not miss a due date ever because you will receive 0 for it.
He is the best professor at MC! He cares of how you feel with many class workloads and he provides take-home exams to make it less stressful. He helps students overcome their fear of their speeches. Definitely recommend this professor because he plays the attendance game. The seats fill up so quick when you take him, register this class ASAP!
BEST PROFESSOR AT MC! He's caring, funny, and kind. His classroom environment on zoom felt like we all already knew each other, it's like a family. Participation does matter because it's part of your grade! I definitely recommend him because he likes to make sure all of his students are comfortable with the class, you'll notice when class is over!
This is an amazing professor ! This professor likes to pick on people so beware. I always look forward to his class he always makes class fun and interesting. You do have 2 speeches to represent in class but this professor helps you feel confident enough to speak in class.
Prof. Schleicher is not from this world. Extremely caring, funny, and engaging! All the best qualities, he got them. The class is heavy, though. You got discussions and quizzes every week. Plus, 3 exams, 3 papers, & 2 speeches. For exams, read the chapters. For assignments, follow instructions and try your best. Do all I said, and A is a guarantee.
Professor Schleicher is an amazing and wonderful professor at MC. He is super caring to his students and hilarious. He always has new ideas to make the class not boring. Believe me! You will never regret when registering his class. Never hesitate to ask him if you have questions. Read the text book carefully and try your best. You will achieve it!
I took him last semester of fall 2021He is an awesome professor. He knows how to make the class fun whether it's in person or online. Every morning he starts of playing with the attendance games and I really miss that about him. I strongly recommend everybody to take this professor if you want to take a communications class
I was hesitant to take COMM108 as an in-person accelerated course (it goes by super fast with lots of assignments), but I'm glad I did with Prof. Schleicher. Not only is he helpful, caring, and accessible, but he also consistently makes classes fun, informative, and interesting. (Group 2, if you're reading this, you're awesome! #fightgasprices)
Prof. Schleicher was AMAZING! If you have a fear of public speaking, I highly recommend his class. He really has a passion for teaching & wants his students to succeed! He's super helpful & responds to emails quick. Quizzes & exams are literally from the book & notes in class so pay attention! He makes class fun! Easy A if you do the work. TAKE HIM
Has to be one of the best professors I have ever had at MC. He was really encouraging and funny and took time to help. Also his classes were so fun to be in and you could really get along with everyone. The tests are a bit difficult but you can do well on them as long as you study. Highly recommended you take him.
Professor Schleicher is a wonderful teacher. It's not inherently difficult work but it can be a bit much. If you do all the work on time and actually put effort into it, you'll do fine. He goes over the assignments in detail multiple times before they are due. Clear lectures. Definitely made public speaking doable and even fun. HIGHLY recommend.
Not helpful at all when it comes to group projects. Overall nice teacher but would never take this again
Proffesor Lord William Dean Schleicher III is the greatest professor of all time. He is a soft grader but remember to do your discussions posts because they are worth a lot of points. The exams are not hard but don't rush through the answers.
Professor Schleicher is truly one of the best professors at MC. He's very caring and overall understanding. As long as you follow the rubric on all assignments, you'll do great. He gives very good feedback as well. His lectures always feel like a conversation and are never boring. Super fun professor. 100% recommend you to take this class with him!
Awesome professor for COMM 108!! I was nervous at first, but Professor Schleicher made the communication class welcoming and he cares about each of his students. By the time you're done with his class, you'll find yourself to be a better communicator!! Cannot recommend Professor Schleicher's class enough!! :)
Within the first week, we had to give presentations and my heart was beating so fast. Instead of making eye contact with my classmates, I would make eye contact with the ceiling haha. But now, I am able to project my voice, give eye contact across the room, and I am not nervous like I used to be, thanks to Professor Schleicher!
Professor Schleicher was truly an awesome person to work with and learn from during COMM108! This was my first communications course and I did not know what to expect going into it. Overall, it was a great learning experience for me. He was very confident and charismatic when he taught the class, but also quite the jokester at times! A great man!
Professor Schleicher is one of my favorite professors in MC. He was very organized and FUN! The class has a short discussion weekly+Quiz, two speeches, 1 group project, and two papers. He gave good feedback on your speech and encouraged you a lot for the next speech. Overall, this is an easy A class. I highly recommend TAKING THIS CLASS WITH HIM!!
Professor Schleicher is one of the best professors at MC. He is so organized and loves his job. The class material was easy to digest. This was an easy A class. You will have fun while you learn and the professor is supportive. I highly recommend him.
I took COMM108 as a winter class. I'm a junior and out of all my years in college, I've never had a professor like Prof. Schleicher. The best professor I've ever had!! So kind, caring, and understanding. He WANTS you to succeed. If you take his class, you're guaranteed to learn a lot and get a good grade. He makes the class entertaining and fun!
I was hesitant to take the class because I was taking Psych 102 as well as AP Chemistry, AP Calc AB, AND field hockey, but it all worked out. Mr. Schleicher is a hilarious, fun, and caring teacher. Our project seems intimidating at first, but when he broke it down in class, it was much, much easier to digest and work on. I highly recommend him!!!
Professor Schleicher was an amazing professor. The course I took was accelerated, but I never felt like things were moving too quickly or that his expectations were too high. He adequately prepared students for the speeches, papers and quizzes as well as exams. He was super nice and fun as well as energetic and engaging.
Super funny and engaging, textbook is used a little bit, if you pay attention in lectures you don't really need it. He does have us read from it occasionally so get it or not at your own risk.
The best. He's funny, sweet, professional, and understanding. His lectures are so interesting; he makes the class very fun and engaging. He gives very clear instructions and posts so many resources. Blackboard is super well organized, and he makes sure you don't miss any information. You will learn and grow a lot by taking his class.
Professor Schleicher was funny and energetic. His class was awesome. Learned a lot through his lectures. I learned how to talk in front of a crowd. One quiz per week, 4 papers, 10 discussions, and 3 exams. Would recommend this professor for communications.
Professor Schleicher easily the best professor at MC. He is extremely friendly and cares about his students, trying to get to know you and telling many stories about himself. His classes are engaging, and offers you more than what you can get from the textbook. Thank you, professor Schleicher! (I'll never forget the basketball dance)
The class consists of quiz & discussion for each chapter, Its easy, interpersonal film paper, self concept paper, persuasive speech, informative speech & group project. self concept paper is writing about yourself. Interpersonal film paper is writing on film you like and providing examples from the txtbk. He is an easy grader and very caring.
Take this class!!. I took him for summer 2 and the class was easy going. I was nervous to speak but he was very kind and understanding. We has two speeches to do. One was an informative speech. I gave information on that speech and other was a persuasive speech I had to peruse my audience on what i think is correct. The class is fun.
My experience with his class is good and he was very helpful when I need help on some assignments and gave useful comments on my assignments. I like that he helped improve my communication with others. I love doing the interpersonal movie paper in this class it was the best assignment in this class.
Professor Schleicher is very wonderful and kind to his students. My experience with this class is that he helps me improve my communication and learning experience of communication.
Professor Schleicher is amazing! Took him for COMM108 online and his quizzes are easy. Just read the chapters, do the discussions and you can not get anything else other than a A/B. He's super sweet and kind! I really enjoyed having him as a professor as he somehow elevates the mood of the room when you're feeling down.
Such a good professor, so caring and respectful of all students. His lectures were nice and the class was interactive. Didn't give too much homework, you just have to keep up with the class lectures. I would take the class again if he was my professor.
Very kind and caring professor. Is willing to help in and outside of class if you have any questions or concerns.
Professor Schleicher is absolutely awesome! He truly cares for the wellbeing of his students and makes the class environment always comfy despite being online. There are a about 2-3 speaking presentations, a group project and 2-3 papers. His weekly quizzes reflect the lectures that he goes over during class and I genuinely enjoyed having him!
I've got a lot of social anxiety, but Prof Schleicher made public speaking unintimidating. He made 3 hour class enjoyable and really connected with the students, and was open and happy to answer questions. Tests based directly off lectures/textbook, easy to keep up with if you mind the due dates, he sticks closely to the (really great) syllabus.
Prof. Schleicher is amazing! I actually looked forward to my 3-hour lecture once a week. Course material is interesting, and I truly learned how to communicate better. Prof. Schleicher's ability to make the classroom feel like a community was incredible. He's funny, understanding, and patient. If you're taking COMM108, you have to take it with him!
best professor i've ever had.
awesome professor, take him if you want a stress free communications credit. he makes it clear he really cares about your success and is an easy grader with open note quizzes!
Great professor. Understanding, Amazing lectures and many more of +. Will take again. Highly recommended!
great professor ! He made it clear what he wanted from you and gave great feedback.
Prof. Schleicher is a dedicated and passionate teacher. He genuinely cares about his students and consistently goes the extra mile to ensure we succeed. While I am not typically a fan of discussion posts, Professor Schleicher made them engaging and original. Class projects were very engaging and enjoyable. 100% recommend him to other students
Amazing professor. If anybody with two neurons takes this class they should be getting an A easily and learn a lot. I got an A- due to my own mistakes
Very kind, understanding, and encouraging professor. Instructions and due dates for every assignment are very clear. Fostered a comfortable environment even in a 3 hour online night class and kept us engaged. Open book quizzes and exams, textbook is available in MC e-library. Handily the best communications professor.
The lectures were fun and engaging, especially for a 3-hour night class. He was always available after class for any questions. I didn't love the group project, but other than that amazing class!
Professor Schleicher is a fun and supportive teacher. His classes are engaging, organized, and energetic, even online. Grading is clear with short quizzes, and he encourages participation. Tip: Attendance counts, so make sure to attend class!
