Reviews of professor Ian Berry

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Mr. Berry is a great guy and a great professor. Being a speech teacher he understands the struggle kids have with public speaking and does a fantastic job of making everyone feel comfortable in the class. Berry does grade a little tough on speeches but not to the point where it makes or breaks the class.

He is a very hard grader. He will mention he grades extra hard if you don't give a speech on the first day of speeches. Be prepared to give 5 speeches, whereas most other CST 110 classes only have to give 3 speeches. Only expect to get one notecard at most on all speeches. If you put in the work you should be able to get a B.

Professor Berry is a gem. He cares about his students, gives fair grades (that he is willing to discuss if you disagree), clear grading criteria, and a willingness for his students to understand and do well. His lectures are engaging and he loves to talk with his students about their lives and interests. I hate speeches and loved this class.

Really nice guy, but his grading was unnecessarily tough. If your outline is well written an organized, it helps your grade a lot. Also, make sure your speech is the right amount of time-worth a lot of points. Do all the online quizzes to cushion your grade. He also requires you to dress up for most speeches.
