I am a straight A student, I did EVERYTHING I needed to do and met all the criteria and still got a B, Why? bc his grading is completely subjective. I feel like he only gives As to people who are strong public speakers and that's not fair to people who do their best, improve over time but still aren't the best public speakers.

Great professor. Involves the class in lectures to make them less boring. Easy exams and cares about his students.

If you take his class, I can almost guarantee a confidence boost. I took his class freshman year, and it helped me in almost every other class where I had to present. Very helpful guy who is patient and accommodating. You should take him!

This professor helped me tremendously when it came to learning how to publicly speak professionally! I can honestly say my confidence was boosted whenever I had to present for this class or even other classes. The things you learn are applicable to everyday life, I would recommend you take this class. He is very assertive and cares for his students

He is passionate about his classes and wants every student to succeed. He makes public speaking less scary and his classroom definitely feels like a safe space. As long as you put effort into your assignments and you're trying, you'll do well in his class.

Trezza is strict. His exact way or you will get a terrible grade. Grading is unclear and the projects/presentations do not correlate w/ interpersonal comm. He uses public speaking assignments. You have to speak in front of the class for almost everything & even the syllabus said public speaking on it. Don't take him. I hated him.

he was a nice person, but he spoke over you and came off rude. but, he was ok once you got to know him.

Professor Trezza really cares about his students. He makes public speaking a lot easier for people who are nervous about it. If you put effort into your projects you will do very well in his class.

I really enjoyed this class. You will have to publicly speak, but you will be give input on the topic, prep time and feedback. Generally, the professor was fair, caring and understanding, especially during this pandemic. If you show up, participate, do the projects, midterm and final, you will do well!

He's a nice guy but he's a really tough grader for no reason. You could do everything right and he'll nit pick very little things. I am an A student in all other courses and he gave me a B for every single assignment. Unfair professor.
