He has done nothing but give me grief and has not helped me at all. He acts like a child and last I checked we weren't children, he needs to maybe get into a different occupation.

Probably the worst instructor i have ever had. He is bitter is confrontational for no apparent reason, and would greatly benefit from medication and intensive therapy. The only thing he wants you to learn is to either respect or fear him. LLCC: Fire George Vaughn before he gets you into trouble! Students: Avoid him at all costs!

I signed up for his comp. 1 class. He wrote a 1-page explanation of the first assignment, and I found 35 blatant mechanical and grammatical errors. Even worse, his last sentence said, "Finally, your essay should be grammatically and mechanically sound." I stayed in the class for 2 more weeks to see if it was a joke- he never indicated that it was.

Worst teacher I've ever had. First of all, he has incredibly annoying & distracting speech mannerisms ("Am I right? Yes or no. You have to start with what? You have to start with a hook to what? You have to start with a hook to grab your what? Your audience.") He refused to honor his own late policy, and he singles out students he doesn't like.

He is a horrible teacher. Was in a class of 30 and 5 were left after I dropped. He is very rude and will not take the time to you help you. He uses a lot of curse words also and not as jokes. He uses these curse words at students when they aren't doing what is "right".

He is the absolute worst teacher i have had in my life-- not an exaggeration. I have had my fair share of awful teahcers but he is by far the worse. He gives contradicting comments every time i showed him my paper. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS

He is very unclear and you ask to clarify he usually just repeats what he says or talks about a complete different thing. He might have good information to give but he is so unclear with wording and with lessons, I know as much as I did before I took the class. He is extremely rude to everyone. Too stressful for a 101 class.

Do not take this class!

Biggest ego I've ever encountered. Rude. Unjustified grades on every paper. This teacher just makes me angry walking into class for the day. AVOID

Very rude. Calls people out in class and will not put in extra help to help students. Think students know everything and wont teach completely.

He only allows to skip a certain number of days, after you hit the limit it is an automatic fail. He is rude and kicks multiple students out of class per day. You are expected to know exactly how to write before you come to this class because his help is extremely vague and changes constantly.

Rude, very unclear when giving assignments and hates women. Singles people out often, cusses and name calls. Started with about 25 ended with less then 10 students, some of which he kicked out in the middle of class including one person because she espoused a feminist ideology.

The worst teacher I literally have ever encountered. I wrote my proposal which he rejected it and put the most rude comments back on it. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS if you have other classes, a job, kids or a life. He is extremely hard grader. And expects you to know EVERYTHING! Why even go to class if you expect us to know everything..... So ridiculous

one of the worst teachers i have ever had to encounter. please take all of these reviews into consideration, i sure wish i would have. now i am struggling to pass and getting D's on every paper i turn in.

Vaughn is awful. He is one of the worst teachers I've ever encountered, and he hates students. He tells you from the start he doesn't care about you. I had strep throat with a doctors note and everything and he still singled me out in class and started yelling about how important it is not to miss class. He doesn't make instructions clear at all.

Vaughn doesn't care about content, just that you follow his very unclear rules. I failed a paper, and I don't think he even ready it. It wasn't in Times New Roman and my works cited wasn't in alphabetical order. They were very stupid mistakes, I know. But, it was one of the best papers I've ever written.

Mr. Vaughn, quite possibly be the worst instructor I have ever had. He was not clear at all about any assignment, when I asked him for help he just belittled me and my ability. He is rude and says many times how little he cares about his students. I'm dropping this class as soon as I can and would rather have summer school with a different teacher.

This teacher is HORRIBLE. He grades papers based on how he personally feels towards the subject. He expects way too much out of the students (it us an intro class). Had to drop out last semester because I was failing. I am currently getting an A in the same class with a different teacher. DO NOT TAKE ANY CLASSES WITH THIS TEACHER!!!!!

I will never take a class with him ever again and I actually go out of my way to warn others as well. This man is seriously horrible. His class, his lecture, his organization skills. Everything-- horrible. I was scared to go to class everyday because you don't know if you're the one he's going to pick on that day. I had no choice but to drop.

unless you are majoring in English don't take him.. he will fail your paper for missing one day of peer review. he is pretty rude.

While I did learn a few things in his class, it was my worst classroom experience ever. He doesn't seem to understand that everyone has different writing styles. If you love conforming to a ridiculously high standard, then he's the professor for you. If you like more leeway for self-expression, pick someone else.

Worst teacher I've ever had. You will not learn a thing in his course besides making a very good outline. He and i think every other English teacher at LLCC Expect you to already know how to write a paper ( I've gone to SIUC a well and the same exact course down there is grammar and reading). by the end of the semester 4 people were left.

He likes to make a big deal how this class "ain't highschool." There were times where I was inspired by whatever the lecture was on but he grades too harshly-especially on freshmen. Get your reading done for the day (including the first day) or he will kick you out. Which I found the most ridiculous and a waste of your/his time.

I got an email from Vaughn and it said that i have missed 6 classes but on my last check i had one so how does that add up? I wasn't in class that one day because my step dad had open heart surgery and he didn't care about it all and didn't show an respect for my family! Worst teacher doesn't help at all and doesn't care for his students! DONA TAKE

This professor is the absolute worst educator I have every experienced. He is very condescending to the point of being rude. He has sign up sheet to see him during office hours that is perpetually full. He enjoys abusing the control over a young person's future. When a student can get to him to ask for direction, he belittles them. Run away, fast.

THE worst professor I have ever had. Comp 101 is an introduction course and it was by far the most stressful class of my academic life. He is rude, arrogant, and incredibly vague about what he actually expects students to deliver. He gives an assignment with different information in 6 places and gets incredulous if you are confused. RUN AWAY

so rude!

He is very hard to please. He told me our class that every way we have been taught to write a paper is wrong and he used rules I have never even heard of before. Basically, if you can read his mind on what he wants then that's the only way you're going to do stellar in his class.

I wouldn't recommend taking a class with professor Vaughn. While he does provide some teaching about the class, he often makes the essay assignments confusing. It is difficult to understand what you are expected to write about. Documents he posts are worded awkwardly. I would read and re-read and still not provide my essay in the "STYLE" he wanted.

Super tough grader, gave terrible feedback, didn't learn anything by his lecture or slides, if he doesn't agree with your point of view he doesn't like that paper. Had lots of help from other professors, I got F's on papers they said were very good.

He seems really cool at first but if he doesn't like you he grades you badly and his feedback is not very specific unless you go in and talk to him but outside of conferences this is very difficult. He also does not give good instructions.

Mr. Vaughn is not a good teacher. He is incredibly vague with his prompts and grades his papers poorly. Idk if he even read my first paper, his comments were only on my topic sentence. It's almost if he takes pride in making people feel less intelligent than him. In class people will answer his questions and they will always be wrong. Big Regrets.

Horrible

This professor is unprofessional, rude, full of himself, and has even insulted students with hateful remarks in ways that no professor should. The only thing I took away from this class is that your professor makes a huge difference in the quality of education that you are paying for. Don't take his class, you'll regret it, even if you pass.

Very harsh grader and does not explain the expectations for students well. Not easily accessible outside of the classroom and does not offer much help with essays

Every project was an academic paper; there was no diversity in assignments. Harsh grader and does not give helpful feedback. Very tough for Comp101. Throughout the course, I had major anxiety due to his demeaning manner toward students. Very fixed on his personal opinions. Speaking up in class is mandatory for participation. Does not teach well.

Very disrespectful to his students. Switches on material at the last minute. Gives terrible feedback. "Teaches" a speech class, but doesn't accept any communication or opinions in class.

He is very harsh and it seems that he wants his students to fail. He believes his opinion is the only correct answer. He has "mercy" and "justice" and grades harshly.

George Vaughn is the worst professor I have ever had in my college career. He is incredibly rude, condescending, and disrespectful in ways that no professor should be. If that doesn't speak for itself, here's what he said when it was time for evaluations: "Y'all can say whatever you want about me. I'll still have a job next semester." Unbelievable.

I nearly failed his class. I have never tried harder in any other class and I still managed to never meet his expectations. He would fail the whole paper if he thought your thesis was bad/wrong. Go to class and pay attention. Definitely try to get on his good side. He plays favorites. Avoid him at all costs.

Just simply not a quality professor. Everything about the classes suck. The lectures.. the assignments, more specifically, the rubric for the assignments. Your thesis is going to suck. But it's okay because his suck too. He has a bad attitude all the time... like he doesn't want to be there anymore than you do.

Tell me why this professor has prohibited topics that we can not talk about in a SPEECH CLASS. It's the smallest thing starting from school dress code to old people not driving the speed limit. As adults in this class, we need to talk about topics such as mental health, drug abuse, and many other concerning topics. But no absolutely PROHIBITED.

If you get him as a teacher, SWITCH. He is mean to people and blames it on his "personality." Do yourself a favor and GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN.

Terrible professor. Extremely rude and degrading when giving feedback. Has a whole list of prohibited topics when it's a speech class....? When you have any questions he is dismissive and rude. Do not recommend at all.

Absolutely awful. There's only like 10 assignments which makes up between 5-25% of your total grade per assignment, therefore if you miss more than a few assignments your grade is essentially screwed. Try not to have medical/personal issues taking this class. Doesn't seem to care about his students or his job. All the negative reviews are accurate.

Absolutely terrible, breaks you down in grading with only five assignments getting graded. Lack of direction in doing assignments received poor grades but was never told what was wrong about it. Do not take any of his classes.

Vaughn was the worst professor I have ever had. He is very condescending and rude. His class is extremely hard. Most of his assignments are unclear and if he does not agree with what you said he will give you a 0. He will not give any effort to help outside of class. He gives unclear feedback on assignments. Overall worst experience of any teacher.

You can try your best and it still won't be good enough. So good luck!

Makes rude comments on work you have done, felt very disrespected this whole semester. Is not considerate of your time at all, thinks his class is my only priority.

He is by far the worst professor I have had. He grades very harshly and when you ask him for help he dismisses you. When it came to talking about attendance he said he would not excuse you for missing class if a loved one died and you had to go to their funeral. He specifically said "it is just another dead person. Who cares".

By far the worst professor I have ever seen or had. He was disrespectful to me and other students, and his grading made little to no sense. If you want to keep your GPA up, do NOT take George Vaughn.

He does not truly care if you fail the class, and straight out tells the class that nobody will receive an A in his class. Makes rude jokes or comments to students at times, and has countless students cry or drop out of his class. If you mention something he did wrong he gets defensive and makes it seem like you made the problem, not him.

I highly suggest to switch from Vaughn if you're able. Vaughn makes this class more difficult than it already is. He is condescending, careless, and rude. Also, extremely unapproachable and unhelpful. Don't bother questioning a grade because he might just lower it more than it already is. I received my lowest grades ever from this class.

Extremely condescending and rude. He is NOT approachable or helpful at all. I am not sure why he is allowed to continue teaching when I was told by the Dean of his office that this is known behavior and that he has been reported before

I took his speech class online, so I am not sure what he is like in person, but he is unclear about his criteria (the syllabus is disorganized) and a condescending *** on an ego trip. Avoid him at all costs. I have reported him to LLCC.

Avoid Vaughn's class if possible. He's quite condescending and unhelpful, making the already difficult material even harder. Though the textbook is used, attending lectures offers little value. Unstuck AI and other study tools proved more useful than Vaughn's teaching.

This dude is a bad teacher don't take him. If you don't have a good head on your shoulders, this is not the place to go for a class.

The only pro of this class is the book being provided online for free... I have never seen a more hard-headed, inflexible, and in my opinion, incompetent educator in my life. He teaches nothing that is not readily available within the book. Will mark you down in grade for any absence regardless of cause. Extremely unhelpful.

I have had a lot of difficult professors during college. But this one takes the cake so far. He is not a difficult instructor in a good way. He has unclear instructions, and no helpful feedback. A lot of his feedback is petty rather than how you can do better on your next assignment. He does not respond to emails in a timely manner. Good luck.

If you have questions about this teacher's material or assignments, good luck getting a helpful answer. His answers are condescending, and unclear. I don't feel like any of my questions have been answered. His class is stressful and his attitude makes it worse. Do your best, it won't be enough.

This was the hardest class I think I have ever taken, he made inappropriate comments but won't take any responsibility, he is a very hard grader, and if you don't do the extra credit you'll fail. He is the worst teacher ever and needs to be fired immediately

Run away please run away he won't approve your topic unless he likes it and he will not give you a clear answer why. He will grade this like you've been giving speeches your whole life. We had a full class at the start of the semester by the end we had 8 out of 25. RUN AWAY FROM HIM!!!!!

Very derogatory and degrading to young adults trying to get their coll

This dude is not a good professor. He is power hungry and looks down upon students. Pulled me aside at the end of class one day, and told me he was going to fight me if I missed another class. I was not over the allowed six day absences either. Wish I was joking. Don't take any classes with him. He is not a good professor and shouldn't have a job.

Do you want a professor who uses AI to create sloppy prompts for your assignments that are incomprehensible? A professor who will take a week to respond to emails for clarification on the AI Slop prompts? A professor that doesn't clarify when and if he responds? Then this is for you. No clue how he got the job, hope he's unemployed soon.

Awful teacher

VERY rude towards students, especially when they ask for help on an assignment. On the first day of class, he told us we needed to contact the dean if we had any issues with him because he's always getting reported. That's when I knew he was not going to be a good professor. Also told us that he would not give us any mercy when it came to grading.

If only there wasn't a word count.... Sheesh. He expects WAY too much WAY too soon. I barely survived getting an A from the speeches, BUT THEN he also had to give the world's hardest multiple-choice final, which screwed me. He's unclear about instructions and rude, which is such a great way to help students learn. Canvas is VERY disorganized. UGHH.

Never again. I had to drop his class because of his attitude. He spoke to me (a grown woman) like I was in middle school. And he's not tech savvy at ALL. He should not be able to run an online class.

The conduct was belligerently unprofessional. Snide remarks were made about my submissions, arguments to the contrary are rendered useless when he waives his 4 English majors in your face. Hard requirement for 6 audience members is impractical, bordering on cruel for an online course. Consider looking for another instructor/waiting until next sem.

By far the worst professor I've had. Unrealistic expectations for an online public speaking class with extremely harsh grading. Instructions were unclear, yet you were still penalized for not meeting them. Feedback was rude and unhelpful. Stressful, frustrating, and taught me almost nothing. Seriously, AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Teacher is useless.

This instructor is unclear in his instructions. He is prejudiced and will actively attempt to fail or force to drop students he doesn't like. He posts assignments with improper due dates and inserts assignments without instructions. He violates the Americans with Disabilities Act.
