Winter 2020 - Great class! You are assigned three speeches to make, and a final paper. Everyone in the class is really supportive of one another and we all became quite close and open with one another, this made the public speaking aspect a lot easier. Dr. Dee is an amazing lecturer and I learned a lot from him. This is an amazing class to take and incredibly useful as well. The work is not overwhelming by any means and I would 100% recommend anyone take this class. If you're an international student or a STEM major, or even if you feel confident with public speaking, still take this class. It's amazing!
