Mr Begley was so nice, considerate, and interesting that even 8:00 lectures were tolerable. He cared a lot about his students' wellbeing and would push back due dates when he saw we were stressed. He knows a lot about public speaking and always included interesting anecdotes from his career. Really really great professor!

It's obvious he cares about his students and encourages them to participate and share ideas. He wants everyone to do well and does as much as he can to make that happen.

Attendance is basically optional, gives you extra credit for showing up. Didn't use any textbook, did not learn a thing. This class is a stupid requirement and you will not need the info at all for your college career, so just get the easy A with him. He assigns minimal work and never gives tests. He googles all his students before the semester.

Professor Begley is one of the funniest professors I ever had. I took this class as an 8 am and was dreading it, but he made it fun. He tried his best to relate to students and values lives more than work being turned in. Super understanding and I learned more than I expected in this class. Not demanding at all, and very flexible with assignments.

Professor Begley is the best. Intro to Comm can be very boring but his sense of humor and the way he applies theories to real life situations makes things very interesting. He is extremely funny and sarcastic, but also cares a lot about his students and their success.

Professor Begley is amazing. He cares about his students and wants everyone to do well. There are a few papers during the semester, but they are very short, no more than 2 pages. Also, you don't have to buy the textbook. Highly recommend taking him for an easy com class.

He is by far the best professor in the Communication department. He tells hilarious stories and is overall a saint. He always wants the best for his students and even brings in treats for special occasions. If you have the opportunity to take a class with him, jump on it! It will be a decision you won't regret!

Prof. Begley is awesome. He's the reason I'm no longer afraid to give presentations. His class is very straightforward and he gives great advice for the class and life in general. He also cancels class a lot and on presentation weeks you only have to show up once which is nice.

I loved his class! He has a ton of life experiences that he shares with the class. He is a great guy and professor. His class is super easy as well. You have two easy actual homework assignments and the rest of the homework is writing and preparing speeches. There are 2 non-graded, 2 impromptus, one written speech, and a final speech. Easy A!

Really like Prof Begley the first couple of days of class. However, after a while it became apparent that he chose a few favorites from the class and if you weren't one of them he really didn't pay attention to you. Overall though good guy, the class itself sucked but definitely wasn't his fault.

one of the best at marist, asks you what you want to do in the class, very flexible, uses lots of real world examples from his experience, very funny, allows much creativity on projects and grades fairly, hardly use the book, but when he quizzes on the book it's an easy 100, easy A while still learning a lot about the advertising business

Great professor. Really easy, light workload, but you still learned a lot. Gave lots of "real world" examples from his own background. Great sense of humor too. Really just wanted everyone to do well. Definitely recommended.
