Reviews of professor Burton Speakman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Loved him! Took him for one of my lower-level COM classes and again for my Capstone. You can really tell he wants the best for his students. He worked with me and helped when he didn't have to to make sure I got the grade I needed in the class. Easily accessible and grades VERY fast. Cannot say enough good things about my experience in this class.

Online: He gives out A's just do the work. The concepts map are easy just explain them in a way that they are easy to follow and read. Discussion post every week ranging from 200 - 500 words, easy asf tho. Only 3 quizzes. Easy A if you do the work!!

Professor Speakman is amazing! His lessons are really helpful and he gives clear examples. He is a tough grader on assignments, but he gives clear criteria and great feedback. Weekly practice assignments are full credit as long as you turn them in. Definitely have to work for it, but I learned a lot in this class.

Dr. Speakman is amazing! He is not only an honest professor but an experienced journalist who wants to help his students succeed. He gives great feedback and makes sure that you are out practicing real journalism to earn your grade. He is the perfect person to teach senior capstone and he will work with you.

Professor Speakman is a good professor overall, but he can be a bit sassy at times when it comes to feedback. There's weekly assignments, some quizzes, and 4 major assignments, but the class isn't hard. Pretty much, if you just do the work and follow the assignment guidelines, then you'll easily pass the class.

Took Jour 3330 as a summer 8 week class. although attendance is mandatory he makes it easy to want to show up. interesting stories and gives you the information you need in an easy to listen way. 4 major assignments and 5 in class assignments pus 3 AP style quiz with 3 current events quiz but gives you free reign on topics. He buys the class food.

Very understanding professor. Doesn't give out many assignments and is a student's teacher. He wants to see you succeed.

He is an absolute amazing prof! He is one of my favorite profs here at Kennesaw. He really works from a real-life kind of mentality. If you don't have to do it in the field, he is not going to make you do it in class. For Investigative reporting, we just have updates that we have to give him and the final project. Those are the only real grades.
