Reviews of professor Anthony Danaar

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Dannar is the most honest professor I've ever taken at Auburn. Nothing is hidden. Do what he tells you to, follow his rubric, and you will get an A. He has a good dry wit that makes class entertaining. Kinda hated the attendance rule(which is out of his hands bc this class has a coordinator)but other than that, its a very solid choice.

Danaar is a tough grader, but he gives a rubric and good feedback to help for the next speech. He is funny and makes the class more enjoyable. Very relatable and down to earth. Highly recommend him as a teacher!

Good professor overall, but he can be very difficult on people who aren't adept at note-driven speeches. Make sure you practice your speeches heavily outside of class.

This man refuses to hand out A's regardless if you meet his requirements or not.  For the first speech, which is extremely basic, I followed all the requirements and still only got a B+.  My friends all tell me that their class is super laid back.  Find another teacher if you are not content with making a B in a class that should be an easy A.

Everything is very easy, grading is very straight forward. Minus the final exam. The final exam is out of his control and he doesnt approve of how they force him to give it. But 100% take this professor. Fun and easy.

Just a tough grader. I feel like I tried a lot in class and put in lots of effort. I even felt I did pretty well after my speeches. The only problem is the toughness of grading, I feel like if you are a public speaking professor you need to be more understanding and lenient on grading because public speaking doesn't come naturally to everyone.

Danaar grades WAY too hard. He starts your speech grade at what seems like a 90 and takes off points for every detail. He also is overly picky about being in class every day for the entirety of class, even when he doesn't have any material he makes you sit in silence for "work time." He also doesn't allow timers for speeches, unlike other profs.

Professor Danaar is a very kinda man, but not a great teacher. If you are naturally gifted at public speaking, you will do well, but if you are not, you will highly struggle. If your views do not match his, you will lose points. Overall, his lectures were boring but not too excessive. He is a very subjective grader, so be wary.

Your entire grade rests on five speeches. Follow the rubric to a T and you will get an A, but this is not an easy A course (if you take him). Attendance is taken in "QOTD" format and attendance is mandatory. Bad at answering emails but his office door is always open. Funny guy. Show him respect and he will do the same.
