Reviews of professor Brandon Straight

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
8 a.m. class is a lot harder when attendance counts, but even in medical emergencies, he is unwilling to bend rules. Lectures are well-organized and cover most of the exam material. Puts time into making study material for exams and gives grades as incentives to study. Fun group activities and trendy YouTube videos used to demonstrate topics.

This was by far, the best class I have taken at Delta College. I put this class off until my last semester because I hate public speaking, and left with so much confidence in my speech abilities. Even though it was a 3 hour class, it went by very quickly. He engaged the class to get know each other, and we always had fun. Highly recommend.

I took his class Business and Professional Communication (COM 105) at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. He did not care about his students at all. He is very much a "Man's Man" and didn't interact with his female students unless you interacted with him first. Immediately I felt very discouraged in this class, and it only got worse.

Graded by mostly attendance, the papers for speeches, speeches, midterm, and final. Our class had an extreme disconnect from our teacher but I was able to pass just fine. Don't forget to take notes and do your assigned reading our class was half in-person half online and we did discussion posts. Took this class at Delta College

There are 2 exams and 3 speeches in a semester, and as long as you complete the study guide for the exams and read through your speech and follow the grading sheet you'll do pretty well. Also visit the performance help center in the library(3rd floor). Brandon is pretty chill and jokes around with everyone and is really relatable.

This professor is very straightforward and helpful. He tells you exactly what he wants on assignments and is an easy grader. His online lectures are VERY helpful and are in some ways more valuable than reading the textbook. Make sure to read the syllabus for assignments; he doesn't make week or module Canvas pages. He's also very approachable.

I took this professor at SVSU in Fall 22 and I thought he was overall a good professor. He was funny and willing to help with anything a student asked for. The tests are the same as the study guide and it is easy to get an A on speeches if you follow the rubric. He can be picky with his grading, but only if he knows you can do better.

Mr. Straight is a good teacher but is hard to communicate with and is very strict on no extra credit and no late work
