Reviews of professor David Molina

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dave's class is really chill. He creates a funny and open environment where everyone's there to improve and be supportive. He's very open to helping you. You have online textbook quizzes, small speaking exercises every week, and your major speech assignments. As long as you remember to do the assignments and at least try, you'll be fine

Awesome professor who's very self aware that sometimes what he talks about can be confusing. Super understanding and fair grader. As long as you have pay attention in class you'll be fine just take your time on the assignments. The class can seem like a lot of work at the beginning but most of the assignments lead into each other. Highly recommend

So Molina's a nice guy. He's willing to work with you outside of class , set clear rubrics, was willing to change things as they went virtually. But, man, his lectures were just a slog. He's clearly so knowledgeable about this but is not good at simplification and would go on and on and on. Was great bedtime listening if you needed to fall asleep.

Dave was awesome, he made Public Speaking very easy and not scary at all. You don't need to be a great public speaking, you really just need to put the effort in and show improvement, which is very easy given the way the class goes. He wants you to do well, cares about his students, and he's funny too.

Dr. Molina is very kind, and class was chill. For public speaking, you have 3 main speeches, and you workshop them in class so it is not daunting, even if you do not like public speaking. There is extra credit available, and there's a lot of assignments, but it is manageable.

I was very nervous for Public Speaking, but Dave made us feel comfortable and we all got to know each other. He cares about his students, tries to make class funny, and is very easily accessible both in and out of class. He has clear expectations and grades very fairly. He wants to see you improve and grow as a speaker. I highly recommend him!

Prof Molina creates an amazing atmosphere for public speaking - your class will feel like a supportive family. He is also personable and funny, someone you'd want to talk to after class. He was also super supportive, and very understanding during the COVID-pocalypse. Speeches are drafted in groups - better than it sounds. Gives clear grade rubrics

Dr. Molina is a true king, super knowledgable but pretty casual overall. Grading is pretty lax, but there are a lot of assignments often with a short turnaround time, so be ready for that. If you're taking Public Speaking, take him, I would be shocked if you could find a cooler guy in the whole department.
