Reviews of professor Robert Layne, II

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Layne has been great so far. He makes his lectures interesting and he preps you for your speeches well. Practice them and you will do great. He gives great nonverbal responses while you are doing your speeches so you don't feel like you're talking to nothing-which can sometimes be the case on Zoom. He truly cares about your success.

Dr. Layne is a great professor. I took him for a Summer semester and it was a breeze. As long as you come prepared and listen to his feedback its an A. He assigns reading but I personally didn't read that much, most of the test content he discussed in class. The most important thing is PRACTICE YOUR SPEECHES!!!

Amazing professor who's really understanding and wants his students to succeed. He's there almost every office hour, rarely cancels class, and is pretty funny. His class is a good kind of challenging. For Org Comm Effectiveness, you should expect a group project. Very clear grading criteria.

Dr. Layne expects a lot from students. He will often say that he wants us all to get A's but he has high expectations. If you apply yourself and read, you will do fine. He's always there for students with a howdy (especially by email.) You won't be sorry taking him.

When I took Dr. Laynes class, I thought I would be bored, but the class was really fun. Dr. Rob is funny and was really supportive. I really learned how to be a college student in his class. Speaking skills, how to write an outline, and how to research topics. If I majored in Comm, I would take him again.

Dr. Layne was such a kind professor despite having some personal issues happen during the semester. It was a fairly easy class and I looked forward to his dad jokes. Not sure what was going on but he lacked good communication with the class. He said he preferred D2L email but he could not be reached much at all using either D2L or MTSU email.
