One thing the instructor did to help support learning was his ability to make the class laugh, his ability to lighten the mood, and create community made us more comfortable in delivering speeches.

This professor was great. Super attentive. When we did not understand him he would go out of his way trying to get us to understand. Super understanding and genuinely cares about the success of every student.

He was very patient with the class and always repeated instructions until we understood what was being asked of us. He also was encouraging of us when we would do our small bits of public speaking during in class participation.

The in-class discussions and activities were exceptional for helping reinforce the topics covered in class and break through that public speaking anxiety.
