Reviews of professor Tsihugwa Kikuyu

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
He was a very kind man, however would focus a lot on his own life and how he understood things. Rather than teaching and explaining the papers, he would just say when assignments were due. Very lecture heavy and would speak directly off PowerPoints. Would not recommend.

He takes FOREVER to grade stuff. If no one speaks up he will sit there until someone decides to speak. However, most of the assignments are of you recording your speech which is better than having to present your speech in front of the class.

It is harder to fail this class, than it is to simply pass. The semester for Com-210 starts off slow and consistent with powerpoint lecture but the few actual speech assignments were easy and straightforward. You do have to go to every class but they are usually entertaining and the professor is genuinely a nice guy to have a conversation with.

Not sure why some of these reviews are out here blaming the professor when he literally takes the time to explain the contents of the papers over & over again. Seems like classmates just would skip things in the prompt then blame him. Also not sure why people complain about teaching off slides. It saves you from having to read the textbook!

Professor Kikuyu is a great guy. He makes it very clear that circumstances outside of school don't affect his grading due to GCU policy- I'm sure extreme situations would be different but try to avoid if possible. Lectures were long but decently informative. Would take again.

The professor is a really nice guy who you can tell really tries hard to connect with his students. Some complain about his slides but I mean, I appreciate him breaking down the book content and adding real world examples. Participation matters a lot but it is easy in class activities or online discussions. Papers can be hard but lots of feedback.

Class relies heavily on 4 essays for grades, making it challenging even if you make small mistakes. He tries to be funny by speaking broken Spanish (yikes). The class is awkwardly quiet as he won't start until someone speaks, he will call names or SNAP at you. NO TECHNOLOGY rule is prehistoric. lacks compassion.

He is a good guy, but a poor teacher. Professor Kikuyu is not a gifted public speaker and is under qualified to teach this specific class. The way that he makes the class format speeches is inconsistent with how actual speeches are given. Again, a great guy, but not the professor you want if you want to show up and become a better public speaker.

The assignments/speeches aren't bad at all however there's continuous group work / participation activities. He can be a harsh grader but will answer any questions and give reason for the grade.
