Reviews of professor Sara Mathis

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
When reading through the other reviews I am not surprised other students had similar experiences. She is by far the most disrespectful and rude professor I have ever had at Mason. With the way she interacts and speaks to students, I am shocked she is still allowed to be a professor. Many options of COMM 101, take someone else and avoid her!

Professor Mathis is the most caring teacher I have met. Most other review is based on online experiences with her thus their rating is not very accurate. In person, she is an amazing person to be around and her lecture is always enjoyable and helpful. Her feedback are straightforward and super useful if you want an A.

I had COMM 100 at 8:30am every Monday, and I looked forward to it every week. She is one of the sweetest professors, and her lectures are fun and interactive. She is a harder grader, but she makes her expectations clear. I highly recommend taking her.

Mathis called our class abysmal & said our writing is on a 6th grade level. I'm taking 2 - 300 lvl 5 week classes that have less work than this. She has deadlines at 5pm 2x week, rough draft speech outlines need to be 3x pages. I'm a Junior, working full time, taking summer classes. I've never left a review on RateMyProfessor. Take anyone else ....

Dr. Mathis expects a lot from her students, but in a healthy/productive way. You normally have a lecture and respective modules to do in Tophat and Blackboard. While it is a lot of work, if you do what you are supposed to do you will get a good grade. She clearly explains her expectations of assignments and offers examples to go by.

Terrific professor. Poor ratings are probably due to the fact Dr. Mathis makes you work for your grade. The assignments aren't hard at all. In the long run and with what she expects from you, you will finish this class coming out a better speaker and communicator. She makes everything fun and she's hilarious. Loved going to her class every week!!!

After reading all of the comments on here I almost dropped the class but Im glad that I did not because shes nothing like all of these comment make her seem like. Shes actually really nice and helpful. Shes not a tough grader either. Shen can be picky but shes usually chill. This class is reading heavy and 3 presentations and 3 comm challenges

A great teacher. Make sure you're referring to her rubric and take up the opportunity to show her your drafts for some feedback (which have been helpful.) She sticks with her syllabus on point, and she's pretty chill.
