Dr. Armada is easily my favorite professor ever. He takes his teaching seriously and shows so much excitement in communication studies. Not only is he full of hilarious stories and jokes, he truly cares for his students and wants them to be successful in and out of class. I recommend him to ANYONE who wants to enjoy a class and learn so much!

Armada is a great professor! I always looked forward to class because he encouraged us to be involved and engaged. He made sure facilitated open, thought-provoking, and extremely interesting topical conversation. He definitely expects a lot out of his students, but gives you the tools to succeed in his class.

I took Comm and Improv the first semester that it was provided and it was so much fun! It sounded like a daunting acting-heavy class, but instead it was just a bunch of fun (and hilarious) games that improved my comm skills a ton! I have never laughed more in a class I swear. It was the highlight of my week, especially during the COVID times. 10/10

I like how he incorporates topical, real-world examples for us to talk about. It's a perfect blend of experience and textbook knowledge. Even though I had to take this class I purposely chose Armada. He is very passionate about the material. There's 3 presentations and 1 paper.

Comment:
In the multiple courses that I took with him, Dr. Armada taught me the skills that have stuck with me well beyond my college career. He's no-nonsense when it comes to excuses, responsibility, and reception to feedback, but he's also a goof and develops a great rapport with students who take his courses seriously.

Dr. Armada is the best teacher I have ever had. He cares about his students and makes sure his students know exactly what they need to do to succeed. Not to mention he is the funniest person I have ever met. By the end of his course, I could see a significant difference in my writing. I can't say enough good things about him and his classes.

Dr. Armada is honestly one of the best professors at St. Thomas. The class is not an easy A, you definitely need to put in work in to an A, but Dr. Armada gives you all the tools you need to get an A. You can tell he really cares about his students and wants them to do well. Will definitely take one of his classes again. Take him if you can!

Armada is a great professor! At first, I was worried I wouldn't do well because he seemed to be a harsh grader, but the assignments got better/easier. I learned a lot from him because we did a variety of projects. His grading is very clear and he gives great feedback. It was harder than 111, but still very interesting. Would recommend!

He is a great guy that wants to see you succeed. He does have high expectations. The feedback is very useful, use it to better on your next speech. The class was mostly graded from speeches and part from participation. Embrace the pre-speech activities, they help.

Dr. Armada is now one of my favorite professors! His classes are enjoyable, and he is hilarious. Only downside is that he is a tough grader. It made me work harder considering I really liked him and his class, but it was still frustrating at times. Highly suggest taking a class from Dr. Armada!

Probably the best professor I have ever had. His class will not be an easy A by any means, but grades fairly and gives great feedback as to why. He challenges his students' by creating a space where respectful discussion can be had on difficult topics. This allows students to question all viewpoints of a subject, most importantly their own.

His feedback on each essay helped make the next ones much better. Didn't give an example of some of the forms of rhetorical criticism, making them harder than others, but was always willing to help while working in groups.

It's almost impossible to get full points on any assignment from Dr. Armada, but he gives great feedback so that you learn how to improve. He's focused on helping students grow, not just on handing out assignments required by the COJO department. He's also funny and approachable, and gives the impression that he really cares about your progress.

Took this class at 8 am thought I would never make it to class. Once I saw that you could only miss two classes without your grade dropping I almost dropped the class. However, because he's so energetic and tells stories it was a really fun class that I actually looked forward too! Armada is from Brooklyn and super worldly down to earth!
