Rather than giving useless comments, why not try to give some helpful information?

http://www.ncsu.edu/chass/communication/www/faculty/index.html. All three of them are graduate teaching assistants. I'd do my best to find out which of the three have taught the class before. You can ask some folks in the comm department, look up grade distributions, or email them directly asking if they have taught the course before + additional ideas/concerns about the course.

thanks Perlith. i did look at grade distribution and none of them are on there. anything else u can find out would be great.

Because I didn't really have any helpful information....but I thought what I did give was some decent advice. Hell, I heard enough horror stories from my engineering buddies who couldn't understand a word their calculus teachers were saying to them.

And since they're graduate assistants, I'd shy away from them too.

the grad students that teach in the summer have not taught public speaking before (unless they did it first summer session).

i went through that program and you do your teaching rotation summer - fall - spring.
