Reviews of professor James Capurso

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I hate and have a fear of public speaking and James helped me get sooo much better at it. He actually cares about his students and wants them to succeed, hes a crazy chill professor who was understanding and was always available for help with speech topics. He gives clear answers on what he is exepcting, which is effort! HE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!

I took the class this past semester and I liked it. No synchronous lectures or class presentations, just straightforward with self- recorded speeches and relatively short writing assignments/speaking engagements. He didn't grade hard, mostly on effort and if you met the criteria. very kind and clear prof who is always willing to help students

The weekly quiz is in the book which is clearly and easily found through bullet points. There are around 3-4 assignments that require you to record a video of you speaking, easily and clearly graded.

The teacher takes forever to grade assignments. He is not willing to help his students.

Public speaking is scary, but James made the class so comfortable! 10/10 would recommend him.

NOT my first choice for a Comms class. But Prof Capurso was a fun professor and is good at what he does. He has a solid sense of humor, is into metal, and has international experience. Class was async online during Covid. I did not enjoy my group or the group assignments, but it was manageable. The tests are easy if you read the (short) book.
