Reviews of professor Marshall Covert

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I was hesitant at first walking into his class because I felt overwhelmed, but Mr. Covert is a good teacher and person all around who truly cares about what he is teaching and wants to prepare his students. I dreaded giving speeches before the class and now I don't mind giving them as much. I would recommend Mr. Covert to a friend.

Overall a great teacher.I enjoyed going to class every day and felt like he truly cared about all of his students. You do have to make sure to follow the rubrics if you want to get a good grade in the class.The quizzes are very easy and straight from the book.I would recommend this teacher to any of my friends. Just make sure you follow directions.

Mr. Covert is a fantastic teacher! Coming into this class, I was very nervous, but he always made sure we were calm and engaged, and he did whatever he could to make us laugh. He prepared us for every speech, and there were always detailed rubrics in addition to his instruction that outlined how we were to do things. I completely recommend him!!!

His grading policy is easy to understand and he follows it exactly. His midterm and final are open notes, making them easy as long as you buy the textbook. The speeches are easy if you practice, but he will quickly deduct points if you lack the requirements for each speech. I would recommend him for anyone looking to get their communication credit.

I came to Clemson in the summer and took public speaking and I'm glad I did! Covert is a master of his craft and always succeeds on making class interesting. His rubrics were easy to follow but also gave excellent headers on what to improve upon and he was always open to answer questions after class. We also did many fun group exercises as well.

He's a pretty chill guy but some of his policies are dumb, such as his attendance policy where every unexcused absence after 3 results in losing points on your overall grade. He's also passionate about what he does, making sure you learn the material, but is a tough grader and is set on his opinions.

Prof Covert is an awesome teacher, grades hard, but he equips us for every assignment well. As long as you literally show up and do the assignments as they are simply instructed you will do well. He makes class fun and is caring and considerate about his students. He is dope. Not an easy A but get over it and get used to college?

Mr. Covert is awesome! He puts in the effort to not only know everyone in the class by name but to care about you on a personal level too. Overall really cool and chill guy. Attendance does count but its not hard to show up because the class is never boring. His lectures are fun and entertaining. Quizzes, midterm and final are all open book.
