Reviews of professor Bruce Converse

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
He never really taught about Public Speaking- it was a lot of random facts. It felt like he was just talking nonsense all the time. He does not give direction for speeches and his D2L page is very disorganized.

Broaches vulgar topics a lot. He gives you a warning at the beginning of the semester, but it is a LOT, so be warned. Quite lecture heavy, lots of extra info with no differention between test and trivia. Otherwise a great guy, gives amazing extra credit for answering a question or two a class, great study guides, mostly accessible. Mid-level class

Mr. Converse had pretty good lectures and had trivia facts throughout class. Tests were detailed and not only stuff I would have known to study. Friendly, but TOUGH grader. Extra credit. I felt like he wanted me to change my personality to give a speech. I spent many days memorizing/recording speech, and felt like it was never good enough for him.

Never felt like I was learning anything in his class. His lectures were just a bunch of fun facts and him reading from his little textbook the entire class. Tough grader. It's an easy class, he just loves to pick apart every speech you do just to give you an 80. Nice guy, really just think he'd be better as a bartender or something.
