One of the best and most caring teachers I've ever had. She assigns AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT of homework - the most I've ever had at FIT - but it's obvious she's putting a lot more into the class than she expects back. You will learn a lot and become a better writer if you take her class. Don't take her if your goal is to simply pass.

Professor Landman is extremely nitpicky with grading. An essay I put hours of work into recieved a below average grade. She complains about grading papers when she is choosing to assign long projects. Everything is on paper and does not use Brightspace. Will not accept late work even if you are absent from class for an uncontrollable circumstance.

This professor keeps deleting my reviews. Please, for your own well-being do not take this professor. She is incredibly hostile and unforgiving even if your circumstances are out of your control. Makes you print out all work even though this is not stated in her syllabus. The worst professor I've ever had.

Darra keeps deleting negative reviews, but please be aware that she is one of the most disrespectful professors at FIT. She disrespects her students and only allows printed work (which is soooo "sustainable" of her). There is no reason for her class to be this difficult—mostly mentally, because the atmosphere in the class is unhinged. stay away

This is course is no joke, but I'm grateful for how much I've learned and the skills I'm taking away. If you're looking for an easy course and chill professor, this isn't it. If you want to be prepared for the business world, strengthen your resume, improve your public speaking, gain confidence, and learn how to ace interviews, take this class.

I don't like to write negative reviews. However, Darra Landman is by far the worst professor I had in my 4 years of college. She makes it deliberately difficult for students to succeed, and her classroom inevitably becomes a hostile environment due to her behavior. I sincerely hope that FIT re-evaluates her tenure status.

This professor is the worst. She refuses to use Brightspace, making assignments confusing, and many students miss work due to her poor communication. She blatantly picks favorites, grading unfairly and ignoring some students. Her disorganization and bias create unnecessary stress. A professor should support students, not make learning harder.

This professor has gotten dozens of reviews removed. She is extremely disrespectful. I had to drop her class because of her behavior. I wouldnt take her class even if it meant graduating late. Gives an extreme amount of work, poor guidelines, doesnt help you, everything printed because she doesnt understand technology. I mean- just a mess.

Be warned. This professor has gotten MANY negative reviews removed. She should be fired honestly. Not only is her workload unbearable, but her behavior is disrespectful and unprofessional. She picks on students like a bully. She wont help you if you have any questions. She belittles her students.

How about I still think of this class. It's traumatized me. I still think back to when I had this condescending not motivating “teacher”. She needs to be re evaluated she is so so rude and gives tons of work. Will make you miserable. Please don't take for your own good. Took over my mental health at a point. She's looking to make it hard for you

I have never written a review about any teacher, but this one is genuinely the worst one I've had at FIT. She gives an insane workload, nitpicks everything, has a terrible attitude, and gives you a bad grade even if you've followed all of her directions. So much of the work is so unhelpful and pointless. She was my last option. Do not take her.

I never had a Prof at FIT give me a reason to have a panic attack until I took her course. I'm someone who doesn't play about my GPA, she made me nervous because I was trying to graduate on time! The nitpicking of everything drove me NUTS. I felt that nthg was never good enough for her. Idk its just something off about his prof, proceed w caution.

I've never in my life dropped a class or written a negative review on anything. This is the WORST professor i've ever had. Her comments, instructions and grading is plainly nonsensical. Overly rude to students, makes life harder on purpose. DONT DO IT.

I really loved taking professor landmans class! I know some think her work can be a bit difficult or heavy but I genuinely learned so much in her class. My resume was corrected & now I have knowledge as to what is the correct formatting/information. Landman has continued to help after I graduated & has been crucial to finding a good job! Take it!
