I was nervous about taking a speech class and he made it so that everyone was comfortable delivering speeches. The book required does help with the speech process. I feel lucky to have been able to take this class and i learned a lot. Im no longer terrified of getting up and speaking in front of the class. Totally recommend, you will love him.

I hated this class. He always used fancy words to make himself sound smarter when all he was doing was making lecture more complicated. He was never there on Fridays...he always played a movie. It won't matter if you skip that day because as long as you have notes on the movie than you are fine...but the movies will be on test. Go to section!

really liked

I know a lot of people hate him, but I like him personally. I agree that he's not a good teacher though. If you get to know him personally (which I did), then you'll see he loves to help his students. It doesn't matter now since he left UCSB.

Horrible professor. Hes rude, out of line on most of the things he says, and uses ridiculously large words that usually dont make sense to the sentence. DO NOT take his class....

this guy uses big/"smart" words and expects everyone to know it. Fairly easy class though.
