Reviews of professor David Collins

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
As someone who struggles with some major anxiety with public speaking he made all of the speeches doable and taught us some really useful tools for speaking confidently. Although I'm still no TED Talk star, Collins class did give me an experience that truly pushed me out of a comfort zone I never thought I could leave. Highly recommend the class.

Coming from someone who gets nervous speaking in front of people I loved this class! Do not be intimidated. Collins loves teaching and his students. I have never improved more from a class. Try not to miss his class, because participation is mandatory. I honestly miss this class and will probably take another one from him. 10/10 recommend.

5 speeches throughout semester, 5 minutes each so no big deal. 3 tests based on in-class discussions and textbook readings. As long as you show up, participate, and try your best you'll get an A.
