Reviews of professor Melissa Weaver

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Pretty usual load of homework, I would definitely take a class again but I know to definitely not wait to last minute to do homework.

She's a lenient grader on most things. Required 5 people in an audience which was difficult to get since everyone has busy lives, but there were only 2 speeches. There is a group assignment which wasn't practical as it is online, but was easy. Usually a DB and quiz every week, but are easy. Just do the assignments and its an easy A.

The professor is very tough when grading, especially when it comes to the speeches. The speeches require an audience or else you get a penalty. She gives feedback though.

I had her online during COVID times and honestly, she isn't a very understanding or cooperative professor. For any late assignment, even if it's just a day late, she deducts 30%. I wouldn't take a class of hers again, and she's one of the worst teachers I have ever had the displeasure of having.

Speeches that have very strange but heavily graded guidelines such as 8 people which caused my grades to be unfairly judged. She gave very little info on how to build an outline but then graded heavily on it. She assigns a bunch of discussion posts but they are very easy. If you can have a family get-together twice this semester you will be fine.

The coursework load was reasonable and we did get time to work on speeches but the instructions to complete said speech were not clear, no prompt given and no sources to do the speech with. There was no information given in the syllabus on how to contact this professor so this made the course even more difficult since it was online.
