Reviews of professor Brian Healy

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Kind and understanding. Not the type to just read what is on a powerpoint. Goes into more detail about what he is teaching.

Brian is one of the best teachers I've had. He's extremely understanding and chill. Just put in some effort and you'll pass this class with flying colors.

Show up, participate, do the homework, and you'll be fine. However, be prepared for a lot of awkwardness. He asks students a lot of questions that are very uncomfortable and a little too personal for the class setting. A lot of the times it felt that I wasn't being taught and instead had to listen to many many rants.

Brian's lectures are funny and engaging. If you show up to class and pay attention you should pass. I would suggest looking over the online textbook after each lecture. Tests are based on application, not definition. He wants you to be super specific and as detailed as possible for the writings. The second half of the semester is one big project.

Brian's a very approachable and understanding professor. It's clear he cares about his students and their success in his class. There's a textbook but it is provided online for free. There is one individual presentation and one group presentation near the end of the semester. His lectures flow well and he's an excellent lecturer, would take again.

All around a great professor, if you have a choice on which professor to take Communication classes with, I would recommend Brian.

I believe Brian is a wonderful teacher. Most definitely one of the most memorable professors that I will have. I would most definitely take this class again just for fun! He definitely makes speech a not so detrimental thing. I would definitely say after this class I am way more comfortable speaking in front of a crowd. Recommend? most definitely!

Avoid this class and professor. Easiest class I've taken, also the worst. He doesn't teach the course, just tells stories about his life and political/social views. Makes students feel very uncomfortable and makes very strange and sexual statements about his students and life and pushes students to do the same. Didn't learn a thing.

I had an Oral presentation class with Professor Healy, and it was my first time going back to classes physically since quarantine, and he immediately provided a space for things like discussion, creative thought, and actual learning, He did all this whilst inspiring confidence and humor. A great professor to have for anyone who's in his class.
