Reviews of professor David Collins

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I was scared for this class, but I ended up really enjoying it. Professor Collins is a great guy. He is a picky when it comes to grading, He made all of the speeches doable and taught me some really useful tools for speaking confidently. I recommend taking a class from him.

I really enjoyed taking COMM 1020 from him. He was an amazing teacher and very down to earth. I want to take other classes from him for sure. He gives good feedback in a positive way and I learned a lot from his class.

David Collins is by far my favorite professor at RMCAD! He is such an inspirational teacher and cracks some pretty funny jokes. If you are given the opportunity I would recommend taking one of his classes. You will leave with far more knowledge than you started the class with.

He was okay. Very unclear about assignments and speeches which left you guessing. "Refer to the syllabus" kind of professor. I feel like my public speaking didn't improve very much, maybe for others it did but I felt like I could learn better from different sources.

really made class a fun experience, even if it wasn't your major. showed us how the material could apply in our daily lives.

Professor Collins is a good professor and cares about this class. At times he was a little bit unorganized for example there were several times where the right answers on tests were marked wrong. This class pretty much revolved around a group project so keep that in mind. You do need the textbook.

I loved group tests, it's an interesting concept that I enjoyed. I read every chapter each week which wasn't too hard as a chapter takes about 30-45 minutes. Not too difficult. Show up and read and you will be good to go. Just make sure you put effort into the group project.

I had a hard time in his class because as you would look on the calendar in canvas you would not see his assignments until two days before they were due so for the first week I went into the weekend thinking that nothing was due and then bam, missing assignment. a lot of group work is required but you're graded individually. lectures were puzzling

Prof Collins is a fun, loud, and engaging professor. He knew my name by the second day. Very fun class and nerve-wracking if you don't like public speaking. He was clear on his expectations and if you practice your speech, you will get a fine grade. I learned a lot in this class! Not too bad.

Professor Collins is awesome. He gives immediate feedback so you know instantly what your score is. He is really passionate about public speaking and wants you to succeed. Make sure you read the book (which is online and you don't have to pay for yay!) Show up, read the book, practice your speeches and you'll be fine
