Reviews of professor Michael D'Ovidio

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Mike makes you feel comfortable public speaking from the first day. You will give 3 speeches in class but he prepares you very well and you see a few example student speeches online to give you an idea of what it looks like. Thoughtful and wants everyone to feel comfortable, and it works! Must take professor him ASAP

Mike is a great instructor, but hes not very understanding & can come off a bit rude. If you take his class stay on your A game, make sure you're in class on time, do ALL of his work, in his eyes there are no excuses, and make sure to participate. Grading is pretty good and the work is easy. Just try your best and you'll pass.

Mike made this subject a very easy one. Even the most shy and scared students did well. Gets you ready for the 3 speeches you need to give. Provides great feedback and is very useful to enhance your public speaking skills. No textbook needed. If you have to take this class, do not pass up this teacher. He is great and makes the class an easy one.

He is a really caring professor. Be aware though that he expects you to put your best effort forth and he takes no excuses. If you're looking to fly under the radar, it won't happen with him. He gives good feedback on speeches and doesn't make you feel self-conscious. Just make sure you don't miss class or any assignments and it's an easy A.

Prof. D'Ovidio is a great teacher. He is a friendly guy who is approachable. You do three speeches and after each one he gives you respectful feedback that if you apply it you will do better in the next speech. He gets everyone involved so you feel comfortable with your classmates. Very minimal HW besides making your speeches.

i really ended up liking this class, at the beginning i was not very comfortable with speaking in front of the class but as time went by and i got used to speaking more during class discussion. no textbook is required which is a plus.
