Reviews of professor Matthew Maddex

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Class lectures were via zoom and very lengthy. The material consists and is based off of a lot of left-winged political views. Tests are also based off of politics. Speeches are critiqued harshly & points are difficult to achieve. The syllabus and announcements will state to contact him anytime, but he is less than friendly when you reach out.

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Maddex is a bit unnecessary with this rubrics. His expectations are a bit unrealistic for individuals that dread taking a public speaking class. He marks things off on your assignments for simple things that don't matter, like typing NEXT to a header, not under it. He is also too open about his private life. A very tough class to pass.

I loved Professor Maddex. He was my speech instructor in Spring 2020. Yes, he was tough. Yes, he would talk about his life and sprinkle some politics in there. But who cares? The guy is a kind man who loves people and if he has something going on in his life, let him talk!

He makes you buy the text book but only grades it for having it once and is never used. Very strict and into politics/personal life. Rants about how the class is being terrible even though people are trying. He doesnt understand that college students may deal with family problems, work, health issues, and overloading classes or a personal life.

This is a waste of time.. this professor will put videos of liberals and even let you watch CNN to get a credit but did not went to grade it. Lie. Takes note! His additional credit does not mean anything because he will deduct credits more in your performance. Also, his grading evaluation are wrong. More personal issue his bringing in the classroom

For an honor student get a C is unacceptable. His grade evaluation is wrong, I hardly absent in the class, turn every assignment/homework work as if like your disabled and can't get a good GPA. no way his grading is worst. Avoid him as possible or else struggle your GPA.

Prof Maddex is a good person but is extremely picky with written speeches and performances. Many extra credit opportunities but this class should be able to pass if you show up and just pay attention.

He is the worst professor I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. His grading standards are all over the place and he does not care about the well-being of his students AT ALL. He's a performative activist who will grade students on how much they kiss up to him. DO NOT TAKE A SPEECH CLASS WITH THIS PROFESSOR!

Dr. Maddex is so much fun! Love his sarcasm. We did disagree on a lot of stuff but he can hold a debate without getting to emotional. He has a big heart and loves to teach! He is strict and a harsh grader but you will learn a lot!
