Reviews of professor Anthony Dannar

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Personally would not recommend him for COMM 1000. Don't let the stellar reviews fool you, he is very difficult to work with, docking grades even with an approved excuse and public embarrassment bring him joy. He 100% is a hard grader and his grading is not just rubric based but off his own ideals and he brags about it constantly. Get out now!!

He is a great teacher and makes his classes fun by starting with a question of the day. Attendance is mandatory but you only get one freebie. There are only three speeches throughout the year. If you follow the rubric for the speeches you will do fine. He is harsh on speech delivery and will take lots of points off for nervous mannerisms.

He is a good teacher but his grading was incredibly inconsistent. I got the same grade on a speech I wrote the night before and felt terrible about as I did a speech I prepared a lot for and nailed the delivery on. He is very outgoing and makes class interesting but he took off a lot of points for small aspects of the speeches.

The course is structured so that if you don't do good on the speeches you won't receive a good grade. Despite this Professor Dannar gives you a clear rubric for each speech that if you follow leaves the rest of the grading up to your delivery. Professor Dannar is a tough grader when it comes to your delivery. Other than that he is great.

Amazing Professor! He gave a clear grading rubric in the textbook and if you follow that youll do pretty solidly on the grade-just comes to your delivery. Didnt think he was too tough a grader as I got what was right for what I delivered and he told you what you needed to work on. Great class and learned a lot. Hilarious too! 10/10 recommend!

Dannar is a funny guy who obviously cares about each student and their success in the class. Attendance is required but it is taken with questions of the day to engage with the class. There are a few speeches to give but understands that public speaking can be hard for some and is lenient with some of the grading. Highly recommend taking him.

Professor Dannar was a good teacher. Enjoyed his questions of the day and high energy.

Dr. Dannar is very funny and personable. He is a harder grader than other comm professors, but if you actually follow the rubric and practice you'll be okay. Attendance is mandatory for all public speaking courses which sucks but it is what it is. He makes coming to class enjoyable.

Mr. Dannar is very funny and super easy going. He is a great teacher and makes it clear exactly what is needed of you to succeed. This class requires preparation before giving a speech and he even gives you the first speech as a freebee to get up there and practice in front of your peers without it hurting you.
