Reviews of professor Marshall Covert

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He was big on being in class and doing the work. Stern but fair for grading, grades are non-negotiable. Good teacher.

Mr. Covert is a great COMM 2500 professor. I will admit, he can be a little nit-picky in terms of grading. However, his pros far outweigh those kinds of cons. He tells interesting stories from his life and it is clear he has a strong background in public speaking. He also cares a great deal about his students and wants everyone to succeed.

He makes class very interesting and makes time for students outside of regular class time. Sometimes his grading may seem off but he is overall very enjoyable both as a person and as a teacher. Shows lots of videos and relevant entertaining material to keep the class engaged and focused.

Mr. Covert clearly cares about the material and the students, but a lot of times he seems to take it too seriously. He is a pretty tough grader, but I got A's on everything. All speeches need to be memorized. Many quizzes. Group project at the end of the semester sucked

Covert did a great job of teaching the subject, prepared us well for the different speeches, and had fun in class activities. He is also a good guy and a bit of a nerd. The only downside is he can be a bit strict on the sylabus, doesn't accept late work, and isn't willing to change speech grades.

i got a 96% on my midterm, all Bs on my speeches, and a 100% on my final exam yet my professor still wouldnt consider giving me back one point on a CRITIQUE. i finished with a 89.8. also the entire class took the exam.

Marshall was  a great professor and had an entertaining personality. He engages with his students but is a very harsh grader. However, he does give good feedback after your speeches. Make sure to stay on top of Tophat assignments since the due dates don't show up in canvas. I know a someone whos grade dropped because of missing Tophat assignments.

Professor Covert is down-to-earth and an extremely talented teacher. He goes above and beyond to make sure all of his students understand the information. He is funny and gives good feedback if he notices things that could be improved. I STRONGLY advise you to take his class because he is genuinely the best teacher I have ever had.

He honestly is a great professor. I was scared to take his class, because of his ratings and also because it's public speaking. But I actually liked this class. Definitely get the textbook, you need it for the quizzes. But overall he cares about his students and wants you to learn and be better at communication!
