Reviews of professor Travis Cram

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
students may be struggling with online courses right now, its tuff finding the energy. He is a fantastic teacher and wants the best for his students. That being said, he is highly critical! His grading seems a bit biased (he is a debate coach). I think that a course in logic should be a prerequisite for his classes. Partial thought will not do.

Dr. Cram is great. He clearly explains the material and what we are supposed to take from it. The study guides he makes are amazing, they give such a good guideline for what to dive deep into before an exam. He made me excited to learn about communication and the textbook he uses is my favorite textbook so far entirely.

Cram is a nice guy and is very passionate about rhetoric. Attendance nonmandatory but he doesn't post any notes online so you have to go to class and to understand the content. He is a though grader; I showed up to class and participated everyday, but got a B on participation. Tests are easy and extra credit is offered. Lots of difficult readings.

I took Comm 330 but that was not a course option. Professor Cram was a nice guy, takes the time to answer your question and gives good feedback. No textbook but a fair amount of reading assignments over the week. Midterm and final paper are worth the most points. Good option for comm credit.

Participation is 40 percent of the grade and he grades extremely unfairly. This class has been awful. I really would not recommend taking a class with him.

Class: Comm 330 Environmental Rhetoric

Tough grader but meaningful feedback. 
Great lectures and in class time well spent. 
Genuinely interesting subject, borderline paradoxical and theoretical :)
In class discussions (just chime in a few times and you'll be ok). 
LOTS of heavy reading (you will have to talk about the readings)
Overall chill guy

This class in hindsight was fine, but going through it was a nightmare. Lengthy 8 paragraph weekly discussions (5 for yours and 3 for replies). The last couple weeks were horribly organized, one weekend an essay or other multimedia presentation was due, the next wednesday the final presentation, then that weekend the final essay.
