Dr. Edwards is a great professor! He keeps lectures interesting and enjoyable. I highly reccommend this class!

Honestly, I really thought the class was a waste of my time and money. "Communications" is really all common sense. Did not read the book, was able to use book on exam and got BAs both times. I didn't really learn anything. Pointless class, even more pointless major. Mad that I spent money on this class for a gen ed. Waste of time don't take it.
COMM1000
For a 1000 level class, it is pretty difficult, but Dr. Edwards is an amazing professor. He always blasts music before lecture and tells funny jokes. great class, I learned a lot. Easily one of my favorite professors at Western.
COM1000
Dr. Chad is hilarious! Mondays were my favorite days thanks to lectures with him! There's no better way to start a Monday morning than blasting music before class, and being told to tweet during class. He's easily my favorite professor so far at WMU.

Pretty terrible class, did not learn anything that is tangible all it is public speaking/discussing... must do 5 hours of community service and lab credits.... really easy course and edwards is fun in lecture, but the class is a whole bunch of busy work. exams are really hard

This class was amazing, and Chad is the person you want to learn Argumentation and Debate. You will learn to teach it, once you take this class.
com1000
He is very funny and I really loved going to his lectures. He is smart with communication and gives good examples. If you do the work it's an easy A. I have a 99% in the class right now, but you have to put some time into it.
COM1000
He's very interesting and can keep your attention! He offers a little bit of extra credit. The class is fun.
COM1000
LOVED this class. Edwards was really funny and interesting. I never missed a lecture. I didn't read much for the class,but as long as you know the material on study guides you'll be fine. TA's are great too. I got an A btw.
COM1000
His exams where waaaaayyy to hard for a 1000 course. For any level they were too hard. The teacher is cool though, very funny. But funny doesn't get me a passing grade. I have to take it over again.

This class is very beneficial, a class you actually learn in! Edwards is very knowledgeable and really makes you think. Great Class and teacher overall!
com5600
Great Great Class! You will learn so much! Edwards is a asset to the communication dept take him every chance you can!
COM1000
He is an overall nice and enjoyable professor. The class is not too hard. You will be using the book and attending the labs and lectures will be useful. The exams are moderately challenging.
COM1000
I really didn't like this class. The exams were way too hard for a 1000 level class. Edwards was entertaining occasionally but talked fast through lectures. The TA was much more helpful and easier to understand than the prof.
COM1000
Easy class, but more importantly it was pretty fun. Go to class give some speeches, it's lighthearted and easy. If you need the class I recommend Mr. Edwards. I am a very nervous public speaker, I was shaking, my voice cracked, and I almost pi**ed myself he understands and knows its not easy for everyone.
COM1040
I was a little speculative about the class, but Edwards is a really good teacher, it's lighthearted and a pretty easy class, but you can make it challenging if you wish..You can actually give some really cool speeches and we'll reward you for it. I recommend it for anyone looking for a speech credit

He's great, nice and keeps things moving and interesting. Sometimes I felt like he was just talking about of his ass, but I guess that's what COM is, right? I plan to be taking him again soon and I generally find enough wrong with a prof. to never talk to them again, so that's a good sign. He's worth taking. Just go to class and you're good.
comm200
This guy was my motivation to become a communications major! He uses real-life examples during lecture that are engaging and entertaining. Exams are kind of difficult, but he likes to challenges his students.
COM104
Chad is a great teacher. This class is soo fun and it's a class that I don't often dread going to. If you are obligated to take this class, you should absolutely take it with Chad. I would recommend him to anyone.
COM2000
He is awesome!!! I highly recommend taking his classes. He is the epitome of what a good professor should be: entertaining, funny, and knowledgeable.
COM560
Chad is possibly the best professor in the universe. If you ever have a chance to take a class with him, DO IT. 560 is a difficult class and involves reading some intense articles but stick with it and it'll be well worth your efforts. A very memorable experience. I'm sad my minor is complete and I won't get to take another class with Chad.
Comm2000
This guy understands how young people want to be taught. The class is early and the tests are hard. Yet, I have found the class to be a great way to start the day. He's funny, up to date, and plays music to a montage of random facts before class starts to get your brain stimulated.
com2000
Best teacher! he is so funny and makes class interesting. tests are'nt bad as long as you go to class and take the notes, all exams are online, open note open book. but dont let that fool you because they're not all that easy! but really good class to take!!
Com2000
Amazing Prof! He should teach professors how to teach. Seriously, clone him to replace the rest of the faculty in Communication. He isn't bitter, old, nor political like any other prof in the department. Let him become the next dean.
Comm2000
One of my top 2 greatest teachers since I've been to school. Coming in as a first semester freshman, he was the perfect teacher to have. Tests are hard and cover a lot of material, be sure to study though and you will be fine. Attendance is very important. He's very funny and clear. So persuasive that I changed my major to Comm. Due to him.
Comm2000
The prof was entertaining. The course content was easy. If you think this course is tough, it's time to drop out of college. Edwards makes the easy stuff easier. The test are open book, google, notes. Just remember to attend class atleast 50%-60% of the time so you don't miss the in class assignments. Oops there went my A.
COM2000
I was told this was supposed to be one of the harder communication classes, but it wasn't at all. Very fun class to go to, but it is important that you go in order to get the random attendance points. Tests aren't too bad since they're open book/open note and online.
COMM2000
Coming in as a Freshmen Dr. Edwards was how I had pictured my ideal prof. Class was tough and material would have been unbearable had he not been hilarious with his anecdotes and one liners. Walking into a class with blared music and a professor that made kids want to be there created a great "college vibe."
COM2000
Chad is a good professor who knows his stuff. He is able to relate to the students and makes class interactive and personable. His tests this semester were all online-open note-open book, but they were still hard and in depth.He does have 10 assignments throughout the semester in class that basically act as attendence checks.Good teacher nice guy
Com2000
Dr. Chad is great, his lectures are actually interesting and fairly easy to understand, especially if you print his prepared notes. Be sure to study for the tests, but they're not as hard as he says. I would highly advise taking this class with him if possible.
COM472
Fantastic teacher. Keeps things interesting by using personal experience or just really great stories. Likes to keep it light and easy in lecture and tests are not a problem because he gives you the info in advance. By far my favorite prof at Western!
com2100
great class he makes it fun and interesting i hate the morning classes but i loved going to his 9 am class
COMM2000
VERY funny... I would agree with the other commenters though, the tests are difficult!!! You can not miss a class of you will be lost. Material is boring until about the 13th week.
Comm200
Hilarious! However, the material is boring...often. He tries to make it funny. Take his class, you can at least be in the circle!
com2000
Very good teacher, funny, entertaining, relates to class well... tests are fairly hard though
COm200
Very entertaining. He is really good at engaging the class even though its 300+ students. The tests are HARD!
com200
Good professor - he relates well to his students and tries to make sure all know the covered material. He's always available to answer questions and help students who don't understand. His tests are hard, so keep up with the reading material.
COM200
great teacher and really funny. keeps class entertaining, even at 9 in the morning. but when he says the tests are hard, hes not lying!
COM 200
He is a funny and approachable guy. The class was a little tough and there were lots of notes, but for a lecture class, I really liked it.
Comm 2000
Very good professor, tests are hard and make sure to go to class knowing that you will do fine in the course.
Com 200
He is a very good guy and is willing to help you. Even though this class was at 9am, it wasn't bad, he is a funny guy that will get you laughing. The tests arn't that bad as long as you study. Be sure to go to class for the attendance points. They sure do add up at the end!
COM 200
Edwards was an awesome professor. He was hilarious and he applied specific examples for basically every concept that he was teaching to make it easier. The tests were difficult, but the class really makes you think. Very interesting. Great professor.
Com 2000
Not a class to skip. The material is difficult, and the tests really make you apply everything you learn. However, he really tries to make everything clear to you and explain it well. My class was @ 9 am which is difficult for me to get up for, but he made it easier because he was really upbeat, and was always making us laugh. Great teacher.
