Reviews of professor Michael Crawford

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I looked forward to Prof Crawford's class. It was always fun, stimulating, and informative. Don't expect much homework, reading, or writing but DO expect to come out of your shell! Grading isn't so clear because he doesn't really have a point system.

8 week hybrid course. Very easygoing and caring professor ever. Listened to students' voice. Helped each student engage in classes. Was able to gain confidence in public speech as a starter. I would strongly recommend his class.

He taught very little about communications, but spoke a lot about himself and his fraternity. He expects participation in each class, but is slow to provide grades and does not provide rubrics or feedback due to "security reasons". Even if my e-mail were hacked, I fail to see how feedback on my assignments is a security threat.

Don't listen to the other reviews. The class has 5 grades total, and by the time my final grade was posted, I could only see 2 of them in canvas. Also, he doesn't give you a rubric or feedback, so there is no way to figure out what you did wrong, and he doesn't explain how to do the speeches. His communication overall was absolutely awful.

He is an easy grader, if you deliver your speeches within the criteria given, you will get an A. The lowest grades on speeches were low B and high C, in a class where some of the speeches were wayyy off from what the assignment was. He gives opportunities to practice every week for extra credit. Only complaint is you don't get feedback on speeches.

Very understanding and easy going teacher just do the assignments and you'll pass. The only thing is he doesn't know how to use canvas so make sure you actually look and know due dates. We only had 5 discussion boards and 2 speeches but participating during the zooms played a major roll in your grade so cameras had to be on (was fun sometimes).

Professor Crawford is the REAL DEAL. Gives opportunity for extra credit every class. He understands that it's a beginning Communications class and gives you breaks on your grade as long as you try. Understands that folks get nervous speaking in front of others. Cool class activities. Take him, you won't regret it.

I had him at 8:30 on Monday mornings. If it wasn't for him I would have fallen asleep. Super energetic and funny. Has a tutor with the class and explains any homework questions. I love him so much I wish he taught more classes I could take.
