Reviews of professor Caroline Guthrie

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Guthrie is an amazing professor. It is clear what needs to be done to do well in the class, and she is very willing to help you. Her lectures are INCREDIBLE. For a media junkie like me, her class is about as interesting as it gets. I will say that some of the material is hard to grasp though. Overall, she is the best!

Professor Guthrie's gives entertaining lectures. There are 4 tests, one final, and weekly quizzes which are all pretty easy if you pay attention to the lectures. Only con is that sometimes class would just be a documentary or watching a John Oliver video. She also said she would give out extra credit for attendance sometimes but she never did.

Nice and upbeat professor, but the class isn't that interesting. I like some topics taught but the teaching style ruins my enthusiasm. Follows the same weekly layout (lecture, lecture, lecture + quiz). Four exams and a final which can really drop your grade if you don't study. If you're not a fan of studying, or lecture classes do not take class.

I wouldn't recommend taking this class if you are anticipating an easy A for a gen ed. Guthrie grades fairly harshly and allows only one late assignment all semester. Also be prepared to write 5 four-page essays throughout the semester. I definitely learned a lot but not much on improving my public speaking skills. Speeches were graded harshly.

Love her and this class! I would probably like this class more in-person but she has handled covid better than any other professor I've had! Lectures are easy to follow and no crazy workload. The only thing I would change is having this class in person.

Professor Guthrie has so much positive energy. She's extremely extremely passionate about what she teaches, and is absolutely hilarious. She is also incredibly knowledgable about the subjects she teaches, and is very very willing to help you if you have any doubts. She is also very encouraging, and makes students want to participate!

This was her online summer course. Great Professor! Responsive, nice, clear video explanations of assignments. Super fair grader. Extra credit opportunity. The summer is a fast paced course but she organizes it so effortlessly and efficiently. 4 speech analysis (any speech you choose), 4 Speeches of your own (basically any topic), peer analysis.

Professor Guthrie is so kind. She cares about her students and wants you to do well. She is very easy to communicate with and I would definitely like to have her as a teacher again.

Professor Guthrie is super enthusiastic and excited about pretty much every topic she teaches about in the class. Its this energy that helped me stay focused and interested in the class, and the content was interesting, modern, and relevant as well. I would definitely recommend her and would take a course of hers again!
