Reviews of professor Cora Butcher-Spellman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
If you read the assigned readings and participate in class discussions, you'll be fine. Coach Cora is super relaxed and understanding, especially when it comes to assignments and life being hectic.

Coach Cora cares about her students. I thought the classroom environment was welcoming and our class bonded. We learned a lot about communication and I can't see any other speech class being better.

In this class, you read an article before every class, and class is purely discussion amongst the students and professor. Makes for a very fun class!

She's a helpful teacher, always allows you for room for improvement, will be honest about what you can do better which can help you prepare for future assignments.

Coach Cora was awesome. I am an engineer and she made me think of adding a minor in communications. The expectations of this class were clearly listed in the syllabus. You read the assigned reading, take a quiz in the beginning of class then participate in an open discussion. This is one of the easiest courses I have taken. Extra credit too!

Cora's super caring and great at mediating discussions that can get a little heated. My only issue with the class was that it was too big, making it difficult to speak up during discussions sometimes (obviously not Cora's fault). She did the best she could to make sure everyone got to speak, it turned out way better than I expected. Take her class!

The class is very discussion based and there are no exams, but participation in class and showing up is really important. There are two one-page assignments and one six-page assignment due throughout semester. There is a lot of reading homework though. Overall the class was really great and the teacher is amazing and taught it well.

This was my favorite class I've taken at the U of A. I loved the content and the projects we had in class. Take this class for sure!!!

This class was very interesting and I would definitely take it again! But it does require reading for each class to take a quiz every day. There are in class discussions which are very interesting, but if you are quite you probably would not like it.

She was so caring and understanding for absences. Very easy to talk to and allows for makeup work for absences.
