Professor Dawnn is THE BEST. She does require class participation, but if you participate, you don't get homework. Tests were take home and a little tough, but it wasn't so bad. I got over 100 on mine! Lots of articles are read and discussed during class, but she goes over everything and makes sure you get it. If you take her, you won't regret it!!
coolest and most easy going professor. i'd take her again )
Professor Dawnn Karen is young and has a very successful career, so she is very inspiring. She makes psychology sound very interesting, even though our majors are not that related to that field, she makes us look forward to meeting her the next week. She is amazing, I wish I could take more classes with her.
My favorite professor at FIT. She is extremely in her field, and has a very interesting career. She pioneered her field and gives great examples so you always know whats going on. Shes very young and makes her lectures fun and interesting. She doesnt try to fail you and if you participate shell love you. I hope to have her as a professor again.
Taking this class will make you have a third eye, if you already dont! Professor Dawnn Karen is the true definition of making a name for yourself! That when you work hard and step out of your comfort zone you can make it in this world. Learn from her and take notes; shes worth your time
Best professor out there! She's very young which makes her understand the mindset of her students and makes it easier for her to get her points through. Class is always fun and color of psychology is a very fun topic to learn about. Prof. Dawnn understands what she's talking about, I would recommend her to everyone.
One of the best professors at FIT! Shes so young which makes it so relatable to students, and inspiring. The class itself is easy, always lets you leave an hour early! No homework, open book midterm & final. EASIEST A.
Very lively and funny and connects topics to real world, relevant examples. Super easy class; midterm and final are at home, online, and open notes.
One of the sweetest, funniest, most relatable and understanding professors Ive ever met. She truly knows how to relate her class to real life situations while making us look forward to learning every class. Not only that, the fact that shes a young woman of color paving the way in her own field makes her really inspiring to many students.
Honestly one of the best professors at FIT. She made me want to pursue a minor in Psychology! She made me look forward coming to class every week because she relates the topics to real life, and she makes sure her students fully understand what they're learning. I wish FIT had more professors like her
I hated taking psychology in high school, but she actually made me love it. She is passionate about her job and her field, which is also evident in her teaching styles!
One of the best professors at FIT. she understands the students needs and really trys to make class fun and interesting!
Shes a great professor. Her topics in psychology are very interesting especially since she connects them to the real world. Although we dont direcrly use a textbook, we still talk about textbook materials. Shes GREAT. Recommend to everyone.
SHE IS THE BEST THOUGH IF YOU WANT TO ACTUALLY LEARN ABOUT PSYCHOLOGY YOU HAVE TO TAKE HER CLASS !! Her class is 1. engaging (she is cheerful and enthusiastic) 2. relatable (psychology that you can actually apply in real life) 3. inspirational (she gives so much love and caring to every student!) 4. Amazing lectures (I learned so much from her
Professor Mahulawdes work ethic is unlike no other. She always keeps us intrigued by relating to modern day society and relating to our own personal lives so we can understand. Unlike my last semester psycholoogy professor, she makes us really want to learn and actually remember the content and not by just remembering it for the sake of tests.
Her lectures are very intriguing. A lot of article reading to get a better understanding of the lesson. Gives real life examples. Class participation is a must. She makes sure that the class has a clear understanding of the lesson and there is group work involved. She is understanding. She explains things clearly and thoroughly. She is great.
This professor will change you college experience. After my first class I was so excited for what was to come. Her PowerPoints include real-life examples making it so easy to relate to and the material really sticks in your head. Shes inspirational and you can tell she really knows what shes talking about without having to read from a textbook.
You will love this professor! She is genuinely fun and funny and will make you want to come to class. It is not a lot of work and is extremely interesting material. Since she is the pioneer of her field, she offers you something that most profs dont. Plus, shes young and is not looking to make your life difficult. Participate and shell love you!
She's such a sweet professor, and brings in subject that are related to every day life and whats going on in the media today
She is the best! She turned psychology for me into something I hated to something I love learning about. Her lectures are amazing, and she is absolutely hilarious! However, she knows when to be funny and connect with students and when to be serious and teach us difficult topics in a way that we can understand. I am so thankful to take her class!
This professor is AMAZING!! Not only does she make psych of color fun, but she brings in interesting fashion psych concepts too! She cares about each student and makes sure we all understand the content. This class has been one of the best I have taken at FIT!
She's so inspiring and a great professor. She's pioneering the field of fashion psychology which is very interesting and useful in context of our class discussions. She's a well respected Columbia educated professional and her livelihood and energy make every class a community, one that we all LOVED going to. Her teaching style works perfectly!!
She is a great professor. I had a fear for psychology, and she made it so interesting and fun for us. She cares about everybody. I actually love learning with her.
Clearly explains concepts, and makes psychology relatable; as in applies it to real life scenarios. Prof Dawn Karen has a vibrant personality, and will do her best to help you. Class should be easy/manageable if you show up and pay attention.
The nicest most accommodating woman I've ever met she truly made it a joy to go to class and doesn't take anything too seriously. 10/10 prof and 10/10 class. would recommend for all to take.
Dawnn is the best professor ever. I mean seriously other professors need to take notes. She is the most caring, understanding, relaxed professor Ive ever had and I still feel as though Im learning so much from her. Her lectures are very interesting as they reflect everyday life. Seriously, Dawnn is the greatest. Take her class.
Amazing class. she makes the references from the book relate to us in real life which makes the book easier to understand and the class. The class is very fun and always filled with group activities at the end of each class.
Best professor at FIT and sooooo funny.
Professor Dawn was one of the best professors ive ever had! She truly cares about what she is teaching and wants to make the experience of learning interesting and interactive like no other class I have ever been in. She is so entertaining, funny and informative. I cannot say enough good things JUST TAKE HER CLASS!!
She's the best!
Best Professor! She brings positive energy to every class, is open-minded and supportive, and wants everyone to succeed. You'll learn so much- she is a pioneer in fashion and color psych and just wrote a book! But she's also young and accessible and relatable, she makes each lecture relevant and modern and fun. Plus music in class!

Amazing lectures & down to earth person. Not only is she a professor but she recognizes your point of view as a student. In my situation, we had a professor that left a terrible mess over the class previously before her. Then, they got rid of that professor and got Dawn, and she made the class so fun and taught us such valuable info! Very pleasant.
She is a great person! And an amazing professor. Super easy class!
Amazing professor! If you have never taken her you are missing out. Her teaching style is up to date and she makes sure all of her students understand the course material.
I've never learned so much in a gen-ed class! She teaches in an approachable manner which makes the content easy to understand and remember. She also has a lot of real-world applications which is great. Her tests challenge you, but aren't impossible. She is a graduate of Columbia and the pioneer of Fashion Psychology.. so smart! Loved having her!!
Loved Dawnn's class! I took her color psychology class. I learned a lot in her class. She is very caring of all of her students. She just published a book recently too which is pretty awesome! She patented fashion psychology so if you're interested in that defiantly take her. Don't hesitate to sign up for her class! You will not regret it
I had this professor In the midst of my original one getting fired , Dawn was very informative and super nice. I wish I had her longer
She is a wonderful Professor! She is so engaging and makes it a fun conversation for the whole class. TAKE HER CLASSES!!!
Great class and professor!
One of the very few professors at FIT that actually cares about their students and wants them to succeed. Professor Dawnn Karen talks about current events and connects them to her lectures which make them more fun and engaging. I definitely would recommend taking her class!
Such an inspirational professor. I highly recommend this professor.
One of the best professors at FIT! I had the class at 9am and she made it enjoyable at that time. Take her!!
She is very nice, and want her students to succeed. She teaches in a way that is very interactive and engaging for her students. She keeps up to date on relevant material and is very knowledgable in her field. I would recommend taking a class with her!
She is an amazing professor! I would definitely recommend to take her class.
Dawn is one of the best professors I've had at FIT. She is extremely intelligent, engaging, inspiring, and relatable. She truly cares about her students and it shows. Usually I dread taking 9am classes, but I couldn't ask for a better professor. If you need to satisfy a social science requirement, take the dress doctor!
Her lecture is so amazing! I highly recommend to take her class. Thank you, professor!
Best professor at FIT!! Loved going to her class every week :)
First of all, she is a breath of fresh air. She made class the least stressful especially when I was taking 6 classes and going to her class was such a breeze because she sees students eye to eye and is incredibly lenient. She even goes as far as putting our mental health first and our needs. She makes the work easy. Will miss her for sure!
A lot of reading but everything is pertinent and supportive of what topics were learning for the day. I enjoyed our collective insight and class discussions. Dawnns vibrant energy cant be beat as a professor!
Professor Dawnn was amazing, made my last semester at FIT less stressful! Really interesting lectures, uses real life examples to teach.
Great class, really requires you to consider how colors influence our world and way we perceive it.
I would 100% take this professor again, and it sucks I never got to take one of her classes until the last semester! She ended up stepping in for a professor that got fired mid-semester, and really turned the course around 180. She's a chill professor, who is also extremely knowledgable, and knows how to engage her students in what she has to say.
she took over once the other he professor got fired. she is fun and inspirational. she is younger so she can relate to us way more than anyone. if i wasnt graduating i would take another one of her classes again. seriously guys take her!!
Nice and good energy. If you have zero knowledge of colors and their interaction with the world this is a good class to take. Very introductory.
Her class is amazing! I will definitely take her class again.
She was incredible! My original professor abandoned my class and she took over. She made sure we didnt stress or worry, she was very straight forward and inspirational!
She is an amazing human being, Professor Mahulawde is heavily motivated and educated and the love she has for her work shows.
Always listens to students emotions and mental state in each class so she doesn't overload us. Good class to take because you'll learn, but in an unconventional way that makes you want to go to class every week! Not a typical professor, Dawn is progressive and isn't afraid to shake up obsolete learning methods.
Amazing class!
She is extremely helpful and understanding. her lectures are extremely riveting and thought-provoking.
Professor Dawn Karen took over my class after our original professor left and she was very compassionate and here to help us in any way that she could. You'll have a great time if you take a class with her!
She cares about her students so much!
I only had Professor Dawn Karen for a few classes, but she made the class very enjoyable. She's easy to talk to, and makes sure her lectures are interesting for the students. I wish I was able to take her again!
She is very passionate about her work and color psychology! Not a stressful class and perfect for my last semester at FIT!
There aren't enough good things to say about her. This class was incredibly interesting and she made it fun and comprehensive. She cares if we understand and comprehend, not just if we memorize terms. Participating is fun, and not intimidating. Her teaching style is what WE need, and she doesn't conform to the "norm." TAKE HER and TAKE COLOR PSYCH
She is a great professor who builds a great relationship with her students. Genuinely cares about her students and loves teaching. Would definitely recommend.
The most lenient, well knowledgable and understanding professor Ive had til date. Please take her, shes amazing! She made my experience for class so much easier compared to other professors Ive had In the past w/ their harsh grading and literally the effort sometimes was not measured. Dawnn is different and actually cares so much. Will miss her!
An amazing professor! Cares about her job and it really shows. Very inspiring with her personal background as well!!
Great professor and super supportive of her students! Would take her again a million times.
Professor Dawnn Karen exemplifies the true meaning of a teacher and a friend. Being interested in Fashion Psychology, having the opportunity to be taught by the pioneer of the field was such a privilege. She makes class fun and is very real with all her students. Class is based on understanding not memorization of material, you get something of it.
Taking her during the pandemic was such a blessing. She is the most understanding and passionate teacher. Definitely recommend her!
Caring, intelligent, and down to earth. She's hilarious and her class is never a bore!
Loved this professor! She is truly inspiring. She cares about her students and is very understanding. Her lectures so interesting and you can tell she is very passionate about what she teaches.
Professor Dawnn Karen is super easy going. She plays music in the classroom and encourages participation. Her lectures are very interesting and she really cares about her students. I would take her again!
One of the best, most inspiring Professors Ive had at FIT! I never wanted to miss class because her class was just that great. Highly recommend!
Professor Dawnn Karen is a great professor. She is inspiring and passionate and she cares about her students. I would take her class again!
Pr. Dawnn makes psychology fun and enjoyable! Her class is all about exchange with students and doesn't require any textbook. Definitely recommend her class!
She's a great professor. There's very little homework and her lectures teach a lot and are very interesting.
This class was not only fairly easy but the take away from Professor Mahulawde is truly more rewarding than the class. I would recommend this class to any one and enjoy the interesting lectures.
Took her for both Psychology and Color psychology. One of the best professors i've ever had. Understands stress of students, although she post notes a couple weeks before exams, I will say if you don't attend class, your notes are incomplete so go to class, take notes since her exams, she makes you work for them.
Professor Dawnn Karen is very inspiring and fun teacher, who makes class fun. She's also extremely caring and understanding. Highly recommend!
This is one of the most amazing professors I have ever had. She came in and saved the day by taking over this class when my previous professor could no longer teach. She gave extremely interesting lectures and really cared about all of us and how we were dealing with the pandemic. I hope she continues to teach at FIT!
She's a fantastic Professor. Take her class!
Professor Dawnn is a caring and understands her students needs. She tries to link her lectures with real life situations making it easier for us to comprehend the material. Very interesting class and participation is mandatory.
Professor Dawnn Karen has been my favorite professor of the whole 4 years being at FIT. She's one of the coolest professors you will ever have. The lectures are so cool and interesting, and she plays the best music (at a starbucks level) :) TAKE HER CLASS YOU WONT REGRET IT! <333 - LeeAnn N.
Do yourself a favor and register for Prof. Dawnn's class!!! She's one of the best professors at FIT and her class was one of my all-time favorites! Color of Psychology is such an interesting field and she makes the class extremely enjoyable!
Professor Dawnn is one of the best professors Ive had at FIT. She makes learning fun and interesting. She knows what she is talking about and speaks confidently when doing so. Shes helped me apply psychology of color to life outside of class and its good knowledge Ive gained. Shes also young and full of energy which allows the class to engage.
Professor Dawnn is a pioneer in her field of fashion psychology and her lectures are not only knowledgeable and interesting, but she is funny as well. I took her class during the coronavirus when everything transitioned to online and she made the process so easy and painless. 11/10 would take any class with her again!
Professor Mahulawde is an amazing professor. She took over our online class during the COVID-19 and did an amazing job. I wish we had professor Mahulawde for the whole semester, she had everyone engaged and even brought in 3 guest speakers on our last class! I've learned so much from her! Thank you!
She is very understanding of students and she is an amazing professor you will not regret taking her class
Professor Dawnn Karen really knows how to engage the whole class. Her teaching style is adaptive to different learning styles. She is progressive, cultured, and understands the need of her students.
She has really great skill to communicate with students and make class interesting. I'm from South Korea, so I'm usually not speak in the class because I worry about my English grammar and some profs usually are impatient. However, Her class, I speak up a lot to share my thinking it was so great experience. I will never forget about her.
Really enjoyed Psychology of color class. She really engages with the students during class discussion. Not a stressful class and the group assignments get you really involved on the topics of class. I do recommend to study for the midterm. Other than that she's a really cool professor that knows her stuff when it comes to color analysis &fashion.
Great professor. Funny, relatable, and respectable.
Professor Karen is super nice and caring. She really wants to teach her students and genuinely cares about each of them and their understanding of the material. She doesn't do long boring lectures and makes the class fun!
Great professor. Would definitely take again.
Professor Mahulawde is one of my favorite! Take her class! Shes intelligent, hilarious and has our best interests at heart. Shes able to speak to the students like we are people that matter, and as individuals. I cant speak better of her..I truly appreciate her! I will absolutely take one of her classes again. Thank you Professor!
Great professor! She is very caring and funny :)
Professor Dawnn Karen was amazing. I had her class at 9 am and didnt even mind waking up for it! Textbook wasnt needed and she was always caring and made great conversation. With the class being online, I never felt too scared to give my input in a conversation. I would take her again if I could!
Loved taking this class this semester! It was the one thing I looked forward to every week. While the Covid-19 pandemic made school very stressful, Professor Dr. Dawnn Karen helped us every step of the way and gave us an amazing semester. She's the best, a gem that shines among the many dinosaurs at FIT!
The best Professor Ive had my entire life. Shes so funny and just real. Her lectures feel more like conversations where you actually learn and apply things to real life. Shes also very caring of our mental health and kept the course as stress free as possible. Literally just looking for her name and Ill take any course she teaches.
Dr. Dawnn Karen was a great professor. This was our first semester of online classes and she killed it. One of the most understanding professors I had and she was also the chillest. The vibes were in check. Very little homework and final was super easy so if you want a class that's very stress free but you still want to learn take this class.
Dawnn is the best psychology professor and nothing you would expect (in a good way). She makes lectures fun and interesting by connecting psychology to current events. Definitely recommend taking her class!
Dr. Dawnn Karen is one of the best professors I've had a FIT. She made the class very engaging and inspired us to communicate with each other about the topics. She is also very understanding and cares about our mental health. The topics we studied were all very interesting and current.
I love her, she is such an inspirational woman! Sucks that I can't meet her in person, but being in her class and hearing her experiences is amazing and I am blessed <3
Great professor. Knows her stuff, cares about students, super chill all around. Easily the best elective course (human sexuality) I've taken at FIT.
Professor Dawnn Karen was super amazing to have. Shes an east grader and very understanding. Shes also relatable and cares a lot about not only her field but her students. I would 102828% recommend taking at least one of her classes :)
An amazing professor that I had the opportunity to have.
A great overall teacher. As long as you write down what she says to write down in class you will be fine, she's extremely nice and understanding. Easy greader.
She was a good professor and cares about her students mental health. She values conversation and makes the class fun.
She's a very cool teacher! Had a lot of fun in her class.
A good professor does not give you a huge workload but gives you everything you need to complete work and get a good grade!!
Professor Dawnn was one of the best teachers I have ever had. She is so understanding and helpful. She took everyone's individual lives into account throughout the semester and did not add any extra stress to an already hectic semester.
She was very understanding/respectful of our mental health throughout the semester. which I cannot express how much I appreciated that. I learned something new every class session and her lectures were always engaging. Very personable!! Loved her!
Professor Dawnn Karen is an amazing professor. She respects and cares for her students and her students mental health. During the Pandemic professor Karen was very considerate, helpful, positive, and I still learned so much from her class. Her teaching style might not work for everyone, but I highly recommend taking at least one of her classes.
She was very understanding of her student's mental health and well being this semester during the pandemic! She truly cares about her students!
Professor Dawnn Karen is one of the best professors I have had, ever! I had her class evenings, two days a week, and I still looked forward to going each class. Her lessons are a mix of lecture and discussion, but both are engaging and interesting. I would love to have her again in another Psychology course, as shows she is extremely intelligent!
Dr. Karen was one of the best professors I have had at FIT. She actually understands that even though we are students, life still exists. She is beyond caring, understanding and such a genuine person. She made what could've been such a boring textbook class into a current exciting discussion each week. I would take her over and over, she was great!
Professor Dawnn Karen is the best professor I've ever had!!! I miss her so much. I wish every professor was like her. The way she teaches her class is pretty straightforward and she is very easy to approach as well
Professor Dawnn was an amazing professor to have. Also her book, Dressed Your Best Life was so motivational. She is seriously the best energy to have on a Monday morning. Her liveliness sends positive vibes, it will have you laughing and excited to learn every time. Color Psychology was an amazing course, I loved every lesson. Definitely take her!
I dont have any inclination to go to her class if shes not gonna do her job. She hasnt graded midterms, she talks about conspiracys related to bio chemical warfare testing in NYC subways, she always just promotes her book which honestly doesnt really make sense and more than anything, it feels like I could just read the text book & teach mysel
One of the sweetest, nicest, charming people I've ever met. An amazing professor and an overall great person. Her lectures are never boring and she knows how to engage with everyone. She will tell you some crazy stories but they're always great for the class. Wish I can have a professor like this for all of my classes. She really understands us!
BEST professor ever. lectures are interesting. little to no work. attend class, take notes and you'll get an A. SHE'S GREAT!!!!!! <3 YOU DAWNN
An overall great professor, if you're conservative, judgmental and enjoy an old school lecture style about boring ish then don't take her. HOWEVER, if you appreciate humor, reliability and real world scenarios, this class is the way to go. She's so caring and thoughtful towards her students. Anyone who writes a bad review is a hater and lacks taste
She is the nicest professor Ive ever had. Shes super caring and understands students have lives outside of class. She makes her lessons interesting and relatable. This class was a easy A. She does repeat a lot of info but thats only cause she wants to appeal to everyones different learning styles. I wish all teachers could teach like her.
Professor Karen is aware that students have a life outside of school. She makes classes fun and interesting. She is aware that everyone has different methods of learning, so she leads her lectures by using different methods, such as visual material, repetition of key points, and using real life examples. She also engages students to participate.
Love her. The white old man of fit trying to silence her, she never give up. I love you and your idea.
I love Dawnn! She's so funny, the highlight of my day honestly!! She's really laid back and chill, the only textbook you would need is to buy her book- Dress Your Best Life!
This Professor is amazing, it sucks that it may be her last semester. Originally I wasn't going to take this course but all the other psych courses needed for my minor happened to be all filled and it forced me to select this course and mannnn that was pretty much a divine sign. This course changed my perception of the future of institutions.
The worst, focused on self promotion. The class itself is a joke.
I'll just say I love Professor Dawnn Karen! If you are looking for a fun engaging class with great open discussion, I say take her! It's a nice break from all the taxing Professors that probably don't care so much about our mental health, you can tell she definitely does. She is inspiring and if you actually talk to her you'll see how real she is!
Prof. Karen was the best. I would totally take her again if I could. Easy grader and gives ample time to do an assignment. Work with students so they have extra time to hand things in. Not many assignments either. Final is a project was a presentation with little words, mainly pictures and 10 slide maximum
she was a great and super chill professor, if you are looking to take an easy but fun and lighthearted class take her!! only midterm and final no homework and gives you so much time to complete the tests.
Professor Dawnn Karen is amazing - her engaging teaching style and genuine care for students' well-being make her classes a refreshing break. I found Unstuck AI really helpful for studying alongside the course materials.
