This woman can make three hours fly by! Her sensitivity and sense of humor make Ethnic Studies classes a delight. She never has a harsh word for anyone and leads the class with humor and class. Everyone has to take at least one class from her!

Man, I should have changed majors. Like the other student said, the class was funny and flew by. The writing is 3 7 page papers, but they are not analytical just historical. My only critique is that she does show up late at least by 10/15 minutes, and can go on and on when its only munites from leaving.

She talks for hours about nothing relating to the material and gets off topic telling stories about her history. She can not adapt from ethnic studies to liberal studies.

There's no doubt Professor Reed is a sweet woman.

Another word of advice: In her 151 class we watched Where the Spirit Lives. On the test she just gave us names of characters (with no context), which apparently we were expected to remember, and wanted us to write about them. Me and many others wrote about the teacher instead of the right character as we did not recall the names & lost points. -_-

It was a crazy semester with the virus. I went to meet with her on Zoom and she was clear. I felt better after talking with her. She further explained expectations. She is one of my favorite profs.

Dr. Reed used videos and discussions to enhance her material. There were few lectured that she posted because most of the material came from the videos of books. There was a lot of reading involved but all the books we read were eyeopening and interesting. She gives great feedback and it is clear that she wants her students to succeed.

This was not a hard class by any means. However, this professor is extremely unprofessional. She refused to respond to emails, put out assignments late, and hardly graded any of our assignments. This might be ok during regular semesters, but it was a nightmare for summer when everything is so condensed.

although the material was relatively easy, take if you enjoy: - duplicated questions - repeated and unclear topics - terrible class layout and assignment formatting - minimal communication - inconsistent due dates and grading

Most unorganized professor yet. Assignments weren't unlocked until the middle of the week, allowing only 3 days to complete. She would go MIA for a whole week and then post some message on the weekends telling us that homework was now unlocked. Easy grader, but if you're fine with reading a book and walking blind through assignments then do it.

I decided to take this course for the summer and man did I regret it but I did pass. Dr. Reed is such a nice lady but she was very disorganized and all over the place. She was always putting assignments very last minute and with a couple day due date. She went MIA for a bit and then all of a sudden expected us to turn in all types of assignment.

Tough grader

I took this course over the summer as well. I was appalled at the rampant cheating and the collusion of the students in the 'groupme' server for this class. They all got together and decided to leave horrible ratings for this professor because she was out due to personal issues. She's an amazing professor as you can see from previous reviews.

I have a ton of respect for Dr. Reed. She has gone above and beyond to help me with my studies. I take every class that I can with her.

Professor Reed is a very nice person, but an awful professor. She is always late, and extremely forgetful. She doesn't post assignments, then randomly springs an exam on her students. I think she isn't fit for teaching anymore, and her unprofessionalism is extremely frustrating. Do not take her.

Class is pretty easy, but is unstructured. She might change the dates put on syllabus and won't even announce the changes. Outdated syllabus. We had the first midterm and she didn't even put an announcement out a day before for the exam. One upside is that the class is really easy.
