Reviews of professor Kathryn Sperry

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I was excited for this class but she made it so difficult. When writing signature assignments she would write up her own as an example and every time she said to fix my reference page when it looked the exact same as hers and would not go into detail. It felt impossible to pass her class with how picky she was being.

Dr Sperry cares a lot about her students and that is translated very well. However, I constantly felt like she was teaching as if we were in high school. If you take this class be preapred to always come on-time and don't talk during class. The material itself is pretty easy I just do not like her teaching style.

Class Feels like you're in High School. Must read the text in addition to lectures. Be wary that If you leave class to take a call, you can be docked points for your participation that week. Lots of information is covered in the book on exams. Prof seems welcoming but is a tough grader, and unclear in the instructions given. We were not a good fit.

I took a positive psychology online course with Dr. Sperry. She was very nice but was very picky on her grading. She won't accept any answers. I do like how understanding she is I emailed her multiple times about extending my due dates and she was very understanding and tried working with me.

This wasn't an easy class. Make sure you put in your best work and effort. Attendance wasn't mandatory, but you need to come to class to succeed. Dr. Sperry can grade harshly but is fair. Everything she grades on is in the rubric. Her feedback is really amazing! She was always willing to help me understand the material better and with assignments.

I took the class virtually and it was hard. She will send the class recording 2 times the whole semester, so if you can't make it to class you miss the lecture. 65% of your grade is based on exams and they are hard. You are allowed a page of notes but the way she words the questions makes it difficult. I wouldn't recommend taking this class.

Sperry is one of my absolute favorites! She is funny and easy to work with. Thorough on info needed for the exams and offers lots of resources to help students succeed. Offers extra credit, study guides, very clear instr., and is a fair grader. you'll need textbook and to read the assigned articles, but its honestly on the low end of homework load!

Her exams and weekly quizzes were more difficult than they needed to be. She looks for specific answers and will dock you points if you don't have it to her liking. It was rare to get full points on the weekly quizzes. There were a few papers throughout the course and always found something to dock a few points on. She was a tough grader overall.
