Reviews of professor Luke Christie

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Luke is a TA so not a professor. He's a nice guy and cares about his students. However, you really have to come in already being pretty good at public speaking to do well. He grades speeches pretty hard but if you follow his format you'll get at least a B on them. He's not the worst, but I've heard there are easier teachers so try to take them.

He does not respond to emails a lot of the times, and when he does he is often very snarky. His comments on assignments/papers are very harsh and at times mean.

Luke is very kind and a fair grader. I was able to make an A on every speech by just following his guidelines on what he was looking for in the speech before I wrote it. The class requires some preparation beforehand, but isnt too much of a workload. The only downside is that he takes a while to return grades.

I didn't enjoy this class. Mr. Christie is nice, but I felt he graded more on whether or not you followed his formula for speeches rather than on quality of information or delivery. Once I figured this out, my grades improved. Attendance is required especially on speech days. The grades are a few worksheets, 5 speeches, a midterm, and final.
