Reviews of professor Michelle Kistler

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Two research papers and four exams. Dr. Kistler is very passionate about her field and has humility. This class is very lecture heavy, so make sure to take great notes! Overall a tough class, but I learned a lot.

I took Kistler's online public speaking class. If you follow the rubrics (like in any other class) you can easily get a good grade. She offers PLENTY of extra credit so even though I was late with one assignment, I still got a 99% in the class. She cares & will make time for you if you need help with anything. Would take all of her classes.

Lectures were random but interesting. However, the final literature review was very intense for a 101 course and very picky. The writing center actually told me that it was too complicated for a 100 level class. I got a 35/50 on a rough draft when I followed instructions clearly.

I'm a junior with a 3.92 GPA and this class is one of the hardest I have ever taken. She has you read well over a hundred pages of the textbook, participate in discussion boards, and then only bothers to make 4-6 slides to talk about for the week. The quizzes over all of this information is 10 min long and only ten questions. Don't take this class.

This class was so easy and simple and the professor made it very clear what she was grading on so it would be hard not to get an A on assignments as long as you do them and follow syllabus. There are no tests in class, just weekly quizzes. Over 300 points of extra credit were offered too.

I. Wrote. So. Much. In. This. Class. But it is a com class, and now I can crank out a two page paper in an hour or two, which isn't a bad skill to have. TOUGH grader, or at least my TA was. Gives barely any feedback which stinks. More than willing to help with assignments, though. Great at communicating. I never did the readings, just lectures.

Kistler speeds through slides and does not save a lot of time for questions, and when she does she does not answer questions well. You are basically self teaching this course. As someone that went to every class and took notes, this class is not that easy. I recommend taking with a different professor if you can.
