Key questions
Is this an easy A?
An A is possible, but one review warns that outlines, speeches, and many performance requirements can make the grade harder than expected.
All evidence comes from in-person reviews because there are no online reviews.
Is the course easy?
The course is not conceptually extreme, but speech requirements and anxiety-related performance demands can make it feel challenging.
All evidence comes from in-person communication courses.
Is attendance flexible?
Reviews mention participation and class activities, so attendance seems useful even though no strict attendance rule is clearly proven.
Only in-person reviews discuss participation and class activities.
Is this professor recommended?
Recommendation depends on whether students need kindness and support or are sensitive to strict speech grading.
In-person evidence is split between a strong recommendation and a clear warning.
