Reviews of professor Leland Gordon

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This is for COMS/JOUR 55. He is a great professor! He speaks passionately about the subject and makes you very interested in the lecture. He is good at getting the class involved in discussions. Assignments are easy just make sure you do everything on time!

Very relaxed speech professor, gives great feedback and lectures show you how to give your speech. Highly recommend taking it online as I did. Need to read! If you don't, you will be lost and probably wont do your outlines correctly. Gives extra credit and attendance points will get you in the end if you don't show up.

This class is very independent and you have to discipline yourself when it comes to preparing for your speeches and the reading. The downside is that he doesn't really teach the class, the book teaches you so you're all by yourself. If you ever need help, he gives great feedback and communicates very well.

He gives very good feedback on your speeches and your outline because he tells you what you do better or did wrong. He is also available outside of class when you need help with improving your speech or help with confidence for public speaking. Overall, a great professor that does not trick you and everything is outlined for you already.

If you're looking for an easy coms 4 class, take his. We had 5 speeches, 2 outlines, and 3 quizzes. Four of the speeches are just 2-4 min and the final is 8 mins. Funny guy and really helps students when in need. Quizzes are based on reading so be sure to take notes. He will give you hints when they're coming. If you're lucky, you can use notes.

Professor Gordon is a really nice and good professor. His class is very easy to pass as long as you do your outlines and follow directions on the speeches. He allows you to miss class twice without any penalty (unless its your speech day) and grades directly off what the rubric says. If you do your work and follow the rubrics it's an easy A.

He grades fairly, gives feedback, and the reading is easy (in COMS5). Quizzes are open note. Speech outlines are the hardest part so dedicate time for them. Optional assignments are needed for an A+ but you get to pick which ones (and it makes up for bad speeches) . Attendance is needed but you get easy points after a speech from your reflection.
