Reviews of professor Larry Connolly

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Larry is FANTASTIC. He is one of the best professors I have had at UVM. I was not looking forward to taking a required speech course, but by the end I was sad that it was over. Not only is he hilarious and engaging (even online), but he also cares deeply about the progress all of his students make. If you get the chance, take this class with Larry!

This is one of the best classes I have taken, largely due to how well Larry teaches it. He understands that everyone starts his class at a different level and works with each person on different skills. It is important to complete all assignments, make an effort to improve, and come to class with an open mind. I would recommend his class to anyone.

Somehow managed to be my favorite class of the semester despite the fact I hate giving speeches. 10/10 would take again, love Larry so much!

Larry is a fabulous professor. They are very to-the-point, never wasting a moment of time (yours or theirs). Larry gives great advice and is available for help if you need it. They are more available on Teams than in person, but will work with you. Unique, fun, and funny teaching style. Absolutely 100% recommend taking SPCH 011 (tb1400) with Larry.

I am a double stem major but this was my favorite class of the semester. They are super engaging and hilarious in class and turn public speaking into something enjoyable. If you can take this class with Professor Larry, do it!

Im gonna keep it real, this class is extremely easy. But still, as someone who hates public speaking, Professor Connolly was really good at making this course fun. They are a really warm presence, and as someone who was extremely nervous about this course, there is really nothing to worry about.

Larry is the BEST!! I cannot say enough good things about them. I took effective speaking and loved it. I had to take the class for credit, but honestly would take it again just to have Larry again. The class was fun and manageable. We knew about our speeches ahead of time and the schedule was always updated. Take a class with Larry!!

He is an amazing teacher. Please take his class. You will not regret it. Larry is so kind and he makes class very fun. If you have to take a speech class make sure to get him as a professor.

Larry is one of the nicest professors on campus. I have performance anxiety so this class was very hard for me, but he always made me feel comfortable. He is very accommodating and understanding and all of the assignments for the class were very manageable. Despite not being a fan of public speaking, this class was awesome and I would take again.
