Reviews of professor Melissa Gutworth

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Makes this class way more stressful than it needs to be. Incredibly tough grader. Takes off points for things not mentioned in her vague instructions/rubrics. Comes off as condescending and dismissive in emails especially when trying to discuss grading concerns. Does NOT like to be questioned. Do yourself a favor and take someone else! Trust me!

HARSH GRADER, weekly quizzes and flipgrids. Unbelievably harsh when it comes to grading papers. DO NOT plagiarize, she will fail you from the entire course. some quiz questions found online but don't help. honestly sucks, she's nice, but sucks. everything other than papers is manageable.

Weekly video discussions and easy quizzes, but Dr. Gutworth was a strict grader on written assignments, deducting for items not in the rubric, refusing grade adjustments and extra credit. She'd dismiss clarity requests with “read the rubric.” The class is easy, but expect tough grading, no flexibility, and rigid, inconsiderate policies.

Professor Gutworth is overall a tough grader for a class you would think to be an easy A. Make sure to read the rubrics very thoroughly for the Integrated Core paper and Final Presentation. Quizzes are timed at 10 minutes for 10 questions which can feel a little chaotic. The material is pretty easy.

Slightly a bit of a tougher greater then Im used to having with my major. Quizzes due each Sunday and a voice assignment due every Wednesday. There are two case studies and she gives clear feedback on what you do wrong so you can do better the second time. Make sure you proofread and provide details with your answers. Use citations correctly!

And she made me prove that I made an appointment to the writing center.I have never met such a distrustful professor who does not trust and not try to help, but rather tries to lower the grade.  All the professors gave me A for integrated core paper.This is the first C for all the time of study.While the lectures are not difficult.

Professor Gutworth's async course was pretty easy. Make sure to watch the lecture vids before taking the quiz. Drops the 2 lowest quiz grades. Strict grader when it comes to grammar and punctuation.

One of the worst grader in MSU! That's it, She basically hates you if you mistakenly missed an simple coma between the sentences! DO NOT TAKE HER QUIZZEZ WITHOUT WATCHING HER VIDEOS!! YOU WILL GET AN ZERO!

Just don't take this woman. She isn't a kind person and doesn't care about her students. Stay far away from this woman. She doesn't explain a thing, everything you do she criticizes it. She is never satisfied and it's horrible. Just don't waste your time with this professor. If you want to succeed in this course, take another professor.
