Reviews of professor James O'Mara

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
If you actually attend this class it should be impossible to do bad. James is an incredible teacher. If you have to take public speaking, take it with James. He's probably the best public speaking professor at CSU. He also grades fairly which is nice if you're nervous to give your speech. He keeps the lectures short and simple as possible.

James is a nice guy. He cares about you trying and growing but will not mark you down if your voice trembles. He is respectful of your time and does not give busy work and wont keep you in class if he is done lecturing. Nice guy would take again. You do need to buy the textbook.

Definitly a favorite of mine at CSU. Grades everything reasonable and gives great feddback after speeches are given. If you are unable to attend class or miss a speech, reach out to him and give documentation and he is sper understanding. Very caring and fun guy!

James is easily one of my favorite professors I've had in three years. He is funny, relatable, laid back, and caring. He really cares about you as an individual student and wants to see you succeed. He is fair and will go out of his way to correct any mistakes in grading/tests. The class itself is a blast and super fun, I recommend it to anyone!

If you follow the directions and put time into your speeches, he will reward you with a good grade. He recognizes hard work even if your voice shakes the whole speech. He's a good guy.

The class is really difficult in itself, but he makes it easier for sure.

James was great! He provided very thorough grading criteria and was really enthusiastic. Really informative lectures, great sense of humor. Takes CSU's SPCM rules very seriously, so don't expect to get away with missing class without an excuse or to receive extra credit. Overall good prof, would definitely take again if I were an SPCM major.
