Excellent course! Covers best practices for organizing a persuasive speech, as well as effective phrasing. Also addresses the use of "um" as fillers. Prof. McGarrity is an excellent teacher and keeps things fun and interesting.

Well done Matt. The course is full of practice tools how to prepare ourselves to convince others to our initiatives, thought etc.

very interesting and helpful course, taught by a great professor in a lovely, easy and sometimes even funny way.

i love the professor. He is great! I took all of his classes on coursera. I hope to meet him in person one day.
