Dr. Rusbrook is not a very good teacher. She does not make the lectures interesting or the tests easy. She doesn't post her power points online so it's hard for you to get notes when she goes through the slides pretty fast. Take a different class if you can!!

She is completely disorganized which affects nearly every student. Rushbrook is a terrible teacher. Avoid all classes she teaches, you will not regret it. She is the head of regional development which is a shame because her attitude towards students in class and during office hours is ridiculous. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

The most unorganized teacher I have ever had. Do not take this class.

Grades tests wrong. Very confusing when things are due. Takes forever to grade things. Gives you no help, blames her mistakes on the class. Avoid this teacher.

You can study material and still be crossing your fingers when you get the grade back. It is not because the class is hard, it is because the test are never graded right. Taking this class is like gambling with your GPA.. DON'T TAKE RUSHBROOK CLASSES!!!!!

consistently inconsistent.. Post chapters of readings for exams at 8pm the night before the test, grades hard even though she gives unclear directions, you are wrong, she is ALWAYS right, doesn't care about student progress.. Half of the class is barely passing because of her unorganized habits. Worst teacher so far in my college experience.

Worst class I have taken at U of A. Worst at responding to emails, very unclear with assignments, wasn't really sure what was due or how she wanted papers written. Did not put one grade in till the last week of the semester. Somehow I received an A in the class but went through the whole semester unsure if I was even passing.

Worst online class ever. I really liked the topics but I have never had this disorganized of a teacher. Very unclear with assignments, did not post one grade till the last week of school (anxiety much), randomly would assign a discussion on a wednesday that was due on a friday? had to constantly check emails. would not respond to email.

It is a full week after the last final and 2 weeks after we completed her class and not ONE grade has been entered. I have no idea what I'm going to receive and it's quite infuriating. EVERYTHING was UNCLEAR in this class. We never knew when a new assignment would be added or due dates or details. She demands a lot for absolutely nothing in return.

Some cool topics, but I only got feedback on one assignment all semester, and grades weren't posted until 2 weeks after the final project. Unclear expectations for assignments and no real through-line or key topics for the course. Dr. Rushbrook knows a lot of cool stuff but if you need organization or feedback.. or grades... take something else.

This was by far the worst class I have taken at the University of Arizona. She never gave feedback, and I only got one grade back all semester. I haven't even had my grade posted in UAccess yet and the class ended a week ago.. She is completely disorganized and had intermittent internet access while teaching a course completely online.

This class has no structure and the teacher is unorganized. The tests are unfair and hard as there is no study guide provided, or any materials for that matter. The lectures are useless as it is unclear what the focus is even on. There isn't any homework at all, but the tests are crazy detailed. don't take this class

Worst teach I have ever had!

Dereka is an awful instructor. She's nice if you catch her on a good day, otherwise expect irrational behavior. She's never prepared for class. She'll postpone/cancel an exam if she isn't prepared, but it's more annoying than helpful. Feedback comes very late, if ever. Doesn't care about students' time. I'm amazed she still has a job, honestly.

She is not a good teacher! Do not take any of her classes! She is super disrespectful to all her students and she grades incredibly arbitrarily! The tests are really hard and she makes them hard to study for as she doesn't tell you what will be one the tests. She hates when people ask questions as well, no matter the question. DO NOT TAKE IT!

This course was one of the hardest I've ever taken at the UA. Dereka was completely unorganized, still has no grades entered into D2L, doesn't respond to emails, and puts assignments up last minute and expects them to be completed the next day. Throughout the semester I was completely anxiety-ridden because of this class, and other classmates have.

Don't take this class!

-very unorganized -terrible at grading in timely manner -rude to students -doesnt grade consistently -made students add up parts of grades on a test worth different points and calculate grade ourselves -late often -well versed in field but lectures are incoherent and she rambles - does not post any notes online -ridiculous rules in classroom

Extremely rude and condescending to all of her students in lecture. Her policies have shown to be more disruptive than anything her students do. Need to go to the bathroom? you'll be kicked out of class. She puts no material online, doesn't have a class list on D2L so you cant contact other students. And she puts no effort forward to prepare you.

Extremely unorganized and unclear. Half of class time is spent doing busy work. She doesnt post materials online. For example, maybe 1/3 of the class actually has the syllabus because it was never posted online. Do not take dereka if you actually want to learn the subject matter.

To put it lightly, she is without a doubt the worst teacher I've had at the University. Throughout every lecture it seems as if she has no idea what is going on or what she is talking about. She refuses to post grades after repeating that she will have them posted for multiple weeks. She is quite infuriating, however the class is somewhat easy.

She is one of the worst professors I have had. I understand the difficulty in adjusting to the COVID pandemic for a professor, but it is like she has never used D2L. Her lectures are extraordinarily boring and not very useful, and it is very unclear week to week what the readings and assignments are. She seems nice, but that is the only good thing.

With no exaggeration the worst professor I have had at UofA. Extremely disorganized. Assignments had barely any instructions-extremely vague, but she would get irritated if you asked too many questions about it. Not timely with inputting grades. The syllabus, grade book, and assignment/quiz tabs did not match up. Definitely avoid her.

Very unorganized, forgot when our exam date was, we had to remind her. She forgot about a big project coming up, and had to remind her to give us the instructions for it with time. Even the instruction were unclear and there is no rubric for any assignment. Easy class if you keep yourself on top of every deadline. Tough grader.

AVOID. Prof never responds to emails, forgets to upload content to D2L every single week, and doesn't have a gradebook or any grading policies available. You'll have no idea what grade you have until its too late, and the prof isn't going to help because she won't read your emails. Drops assignments and random, hard to know when and what is due

D. Rushbrook was the worst professor I have ever had. The grading criteria is very unclear and she never responds to emails making it very hard to see where you stand in the class. Avoid at all costs!

One word: Incompetence. Doesn't update grades. Grading criteria is subjective nonsense. Doesn't grade the case study proposal prior to final project. Meandering unplanned lectures, frequently loses track of time. No exam review whatsoever. Exams are mostly subjective nonsense. Looking for a Business ethics credit? Get out now.

Were about 4 days out from the end of the semester. The class is graded out of 1120 points. 240 points have been entered into the gradebook. We have no clue what our grades will be because shes graded less than 25% of the work weve turned in

Lack of grading in a timely fashion, waiting on grades for an assignment turned in 2 months ago. Most disorganized class I've ever taken. Zero updates throughout the course / what needs to be studied then posts a message identifying a list of topics the day before the test. Would get frustrated and talk down to students at times. Do Not Recommend!

i hate her with every bone in my body

This professor really ruined

never again

This teacher does not do a great job at all explaining assignments throughout the semester. Most of the time she briefly explains something once then expects you to meet her standards without going into great detail. The tests aren't much easier with a lousy study guide and no lectures posted.

the classroom space felt hard to talk in or interact without judgement by the teacher

She is awful! We are halfway through the semester, with not a single assignment graded. She never responds to emails, and don't even think about asking a question in class, she will yell at you. She is difficult to get in contact with. Always shows up late to class, and her assignments are very unclear. TAKE THIS CLASS ONLINE WITH A DIFFERENT PROF!

Do not take her class. She never puts grades in and she grades incredibly harshly. She's also quite mean to a few of her students - myself included. She doesn't handle situations very well either. Would not recommend.

When I took her class I was a Junior and I ended up switching my major because she was so terrible. I don't even know how she got hired at the school. She was very disrespectful and does not care about her students. The only reason I passed was because she didn't want to look bad if everyone failed. I would not recommend her class to anyone.

doesnt update grades, gives participation assignments in class but never grades them until the last week of the semester so we aren't sure which one counts. I genuinely hope u get fired dereka.

Unorganized, scattered and unprofessional. Went to office hours to get help and she told me she "didn't have time for me because she was too busy preparing for her other classes". Academic accommodations were never provided despite contacting DRC. Avoid taking her classes at all costs! Poor reviews are well deserved.
