I loved this professor! if you are nervous of joining a communication class, I totally recommend taking Mr. Staller! he's very caring, if you ever need help make sure you ask!! or join his after school hours! I appreciate all of the advice he gave him. will most definitely take him again.

Best teacher I have ever had! I was scared to take this class because I have anxiety but he makes it so easy to speak up and get involved. So sad some people dropped because they all got afraid to do the first speech but all his work is so easy!! It is a lot but if you stay on top of it you will be fine. His office hours are very helpful!!

Oh boy, where do I start? Amazing person/teacher, however this was one of the most unusual classes I've ever taken. Class tends to be awkward when there's little participation. So much homework! 7-8 pages of workbook material due every class, on top of numerous (although easy) papers. Be prepared to dedicate serious time to this class.

Dr Staller is a very good professor. Follow the syllabus closely and make sure you stay ahead of the due dates. The speech outlines take time to write and I recommend visiting the professor during his office hours or just before class. Get a supplemental group leader if you can, the SI program is perfect for this course.

Professor Staller is great! He lets you makeup absences by going to his office hours. Hw is due every class but its all in the book. Very easy! and he does allow late work! Midterms are on the hw you do! answers are all in book as well. hes not a hard grader at all. We didnt have a final either. You cant fail!

This is a good alternative to the regular speech class. You will still give several presentations, but Dr Staller will see you through. You will be teamed with 5 other students in a group. Half of my group did not complete the class. Dr Staller lectures very little, the groups present the chapters. Follow the syllabus closely!

Mr. Staller is always in a good mood. He makes class fun. The workload isnt too bad. Everything is straight from the book including speeches. Speeches are easy if you follow the set structure. This class is hard to fail. Show up do your work and youll pass.

Easy A. Read the chapter, do the workbook, and give your speeches. Staller has the class set up where you will pass just by showing up and doing everything assigned. You get the A by doing everything and doing well on the speeches and the final. Final questions are given ahead of time. Speeches aren't bad/hard if you know the material.

Mark makes you buy a textbook which he wrote so he also gets money when you buy it. He doesn't use canvas! when he grades he can't understand his own handwriting. Very messy, he doesn't lecture and makes you do speeches about his book. He estimates your grade. Makes you do 1 hour long speeches and makes you buy a binder you don't use.

Mark Staller is the single best teacher I've ever had. Though he has homework due ever class day, he makes it easy for you to do it and to learn. Homework and attendance are mandatory if you want to pass the class. However, if you are late on homework he will let you get it to him by next class and still get credit. Joyful and fun, he is the best.

Great professor! I would definitely take this class again if I needed another communication class. He's really nice and the class is actually pretty fun because you become friends with the people in your small groups. He's an easy grader and he makes sure that the class is easy to pass, you just need to show up and do your work.

This class is NOT easy!! I learned so much but I dropped other classes to keep up in this one. Professor Staller is very nice, taught me so much , and expects alot of his students. He is a very fair grader and makes this class fun and interesting. I would highly recommended him. He's a brilliant man and I value everything he taught me.

I don't recommend this professor. this class should be small group communication, and easy to do it, but he made it so difficult by made it long presentation for around 20 minutes in the public NOT at your small group, and heavy assignments.

Everyone gives him a good score because he is easy. That is nice I won't lie, but it's not the kind of experience I hope for in college. Need an A then take him and be nice. Nice guy.

I took the 4 week accelerated course , during the early start program. This is why I put a number 4, which means you have to work for your grade. But Mr. Staller is such a fair person, if he sees you are really trying he will definitely work with you. He is an Awesome professor! ! He creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere to work in. Great prof.

This class was very enjoyable. The content was interesting and I learned a lot. You do have to buy the textbook and the workbook and it cost 108 dollars. You do need it to pass the class. Professor Staller is a very fair grader. If you do the work and come to class you will get an A.
