Reviews of professor Sarah Spikeston

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Overall, Professor Spikeston knows what she lectures. She is a very sweet teacher and gives you good feedback. I took her online over the summer and it was a bit difficult due to a fast pace. She will help you with any concerns or questions you have. Her quizzes are super easy she'll give you multiple attempts. She won't take any late work.

She was a very good professor and taught speech very well. Had a course calendar that was organized and gave you plenty of heads-up on assignments as long as you checked it. Not the most gracious grader ever, but if you do the work and try your best, you'll do fine.

Professor Spikeston starts off the semester as a really stringent grader. Later on she eases up a bit and offers generous extra credit to help you make sure you get the desired grade. She is passionate about public speaking and it helps if you share that enthusiasm.

I highly recommend NOT taking Professor Spikeston. While she seems like a nice person, she is not a good teacher. She had unclear instructions and leaves you to have to figure a lot out on your own. Do not expect any of your major grades to be graded until literally the last day.

Assigned group projects and didn't give people who actually did the work extra points or a better grade. Not nice or helpful when asked questions. Makes accessing the online course more difficult than needed does not explain instructions very well.

I get it, she's a national champion in the speech department, but this is an entry level class and a community college. She lectured like we were in college, but demanded we have a planner and notebook and she would do notebook checks like were children. She expected way too much for us to only be in 13th grade.

She will certainly grade fairly each speech by how it's presented without downgrading for personally disagreeing with the content. I had to give a speech outside class right after completing the semester and frankly nailed it. So, the class definitely teaches you how to be a good speaker

She doesn't grade until the last few days, so you aren't sure how you are doing. She is a nice person and is super involved in many things, but if you need instant or even timely feedback this is not your professor.

She was a nice professor but did not grade a single speech until the end of the summer semester so I did not know what I need to improve. She also never answered emails, and gave an excuse as to why it took 4 weeks to grade out first speech when the syllabus said everything would be graded no later than a week after due date

I don't know how this professor was in the past but her class was super easy, answers are online. I took her online while working full-time An was able to get a 97, I almost had a 100 but I didn't take the final quiz.
