Reviews of professor Daniel Shelden

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Daniel was really disrespectful in meetings outside of class. He would treat me as if I was a kid that knew nothing. Would roll eyes or chuckle at some of my questions. He looks for any little thing to dock points on an outline. It felt as if the speech really didn't matter, it was just all about the outline and how many corrections he could make.

Daniel thinks that this class is of the utmost importance and its more important than anything else in your life. You will be treated like a child instead of an adult. The class itself is pretty easy, just follow the outline structure and thats the majority of your speech grade. Sitting through the lectures makes you want to gouge your eyes out.

His class was hella hard for a mandatory class. He is a good prof and he is always available to help you but dang, so much work!!

If you are socially anxious or hate speaking in front of people, Professor Shelden perfect for you. Yes, you still have to speak but that is what this class is about. He is very easy to work with and is very understanding of anxiety. He is also hilarious and makes class and speeches less of a chore. Just stay on top of speeches, NO PROCRASTINATING!

He makes sure you understand and if you don't you just need to speak up. He makes the learning fun and gives you a very good set of information for all the speeches. Take notes and be involved. You definitely have to put effort in to pass.

This professor uses other people's lectures, and really only grades your online speeches. He is available to help, but he is a super hard grader. He also marks you down multiple times for the same mistake, so if there's one mistake scattered throughout your outline, you will fail.

The class is set up weirdly. Harsh grader on outlines. He makes this class seem more complicated than it needs to be. Attendance is mandatory, even for unhelpful PowerPoints that aren't posted on Moodle. Class sometimes feel like a waste of time sitting through slides that are not helpful. You will get one assignment to boost your grade.

Daniel is a fun guy on the outside but the grading is so harsh. The time management is so off for the class as well. He gives a month and a half for the first speech, and two weeks for the second and third speeches. In the last two speeches he doesn't even give all the information to write the speeches that we need until the day before its due.
