Dr Chad is amazingly energetic and funny. He is passionate about what he does, but reading the textbook and attendance is necessary. Going to class and reading makes it easy to pass.

Chad is not only a great guy who will go out of his way to help students but is also an amazing professor. His lectures elaborate on the material in the books to help you grasp the content but they are also memorable and enjoyable. He's a great guy and you should try to take courses with him and intern for him in the comm. robotics lab if you can.

He is awesome! By far my favorite professor. The lectures are actually enjoyable going to. He always starts the day with fun facts and pumped up music. He is so hilarious and his information is clear. He is engaging and easy to enjoy as a professor. A lot of work that goes along with this class but it is still fun!

Dr. Edwards is a great professor. He is very engaging when he speaks; the lectures are always enjoyable. However, test material isn't all gone over in class so you should read the book. Exams are online, but still kind of difficult so I would recommend reading the chapters before taking the exam. I enjoyed this class.

Chad was a great teacher. He is very interested in the content he is teaching and he makes you feel the same way. If you go to class everyday and pay attention you will get an A.

The main focus of this class are the two speeches you have to give, which are extremely over-hyped. You can use the book on all exams, but the exams are still tricky. The lectures are interesting, but sometimes hard to follow. Edwards makes sure to connect with his students, but does not cover most of the material on the tests.

Dr. Chad is the best professor I've had! Sit front and center during lectures, he's always very interactive and interesting. He made me fall in love with COM.

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.

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.

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.

I 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.

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.

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 wet myself. He understands and knows it's not easy for everyone.

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.

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.

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.

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.
