Taking this with Deon is fun and easy. Fun group projects and assignments. No exams/final, barely any quizzes. The only big portions of the grade are essays, and she will help you out in order to get a good grade. She'll not stress you out, and she extends deadlines if the workload is overwhelming. She is a nice lady, and I recommend her to take.
Two group projects, a midterm, and two essays. Most of the work are classwork and homework. She is a nice and fun teacher. Groups also help with the sense of what you read. Make sure to read the text before heading to class. Take CWL100 with this professor.
Honestly, this class was more work than it's worth IMO.
The class was moderate in terms of difficulty, but Letitia as a person was amazing. With a love for comedy, she incorporates it into her classroom allowing for a positive, funny environment. It's important to do the homework or else you won't hold a good grade, and same goes for attendance and classwork. I would love to take another class with her.
By far one of the best classes that I have ever taken. It's not your typical lecture class, she does make you do some acting. However, it helps motivate you to get out of your comfort zone and to meet new people. She really cares about her students and wants them to succeed, as well as remain stress free. Readings are short and homework is simple.
Honestly, Deon is an extremely nice and caring professor. I truly love her and her charisma. She does care for her students and tries to maintain them stress free. The quizzes are extremely easy and the homework is easy as well but requires some effort. She sometimes pushes our homework because she just wants to. Truly an amazing professor.
I went into the class expecting to dislike it. The class involves lots of group work, and presenting, it turned out to be fun and easy. She does a great job of getting people involved and keeping the work interesting. And she ends class when the lesson is done and does not try to stretch for time... which is great! lol
Awesome teacher! All the work for this class is not too difficult and is mostly graded by effort. I highly suggest taking the CWL161 class for the critical thinking GE requirement.
Literally the best teacher Ive had so far trying to even take her again. Shes funny and super nice ! There is group work and lots of fun activities and discussions there is alot of homework but it is simple and easily graded for effort make sure to read all the stories theyre short but good. Do well on essays , she will always help when you ask
She really takes her time to remember her students names, to grade our assignments, and to help us on anything. There was hmk almost everyday but it was more like note taking hmk, There were a lot of readings, & There were two group projects. Its an easy class youll get an a if you dont skip any hmk, do the project well, and pass the one exam.
Very sweet professor! The course and grading is very lenient and the reading material is interesting. She likes to break us into groups for discussions and have us give answers as group. Her test and papers are easy. I would say the only drawback is having group projects as it was hard to meetup.
I had her for CWL100 last year, and it's a trip down memory lane except in another subject. However, due to the current situation in the world, class had to be transitioned online, and we were graded by less work than what she had planned. Regardless, I recommend this professor 100%
Professor Deon is such a good professor! she expands deadlines if you talk to her and she's very caring of her students! highly recommend this class ! textbooks are comic books that are a good read! the final project is just a superhero video you make with classmates and its so much fun!
TAKE THIS CLASS! Informative and interesting. I liked how she encouraged participation and created a friendly environment. Graded on effort more than quality. It felt like a HS class. 2 essays, readings, discussion post and 2 projects. She also tries to avoid stressing her students. She pushes back due dates (very considerate of students) and help!
I'm not sure how she is with other lower-division classes, but I highly suggest to stay clear from this course if you're a junior/senior looking for an upper-division elective for graduation. This course isn't too hard, but it is a lot and I mean A LOT of reading and writing, plus she is very strict on grading. STAY AWAY from this prof for CWL320!
I never ever have anything negative to say about a professor, but she is one of the worst professors I have ever had. She has 2x the amount of work than my actual major classes and she grades tremendously tough considering she is only an elective class. I really hope CSULB never allows her to teach this course again.
Had her during covid. Read+ analyze new boring ass plays every week. A couple small essays. Couple group projects. Homework heavy. Participation actually MATTERS. Create/ act out a play for your final. Annoying cuz she always forgot to announce when hw was assigned/due so check BB constantly. Late/missed work0 cred. She's nice ig not too bad meh
Professor Deon truly cares for her students and tries to make the course as stressless as possible. The work isn't bad at all, however have to participate in class discussions and present a lot of small things sometimes. I dislike talking in front of the whole class, however she creates a comfortable environment to do so. Take her she's awesome!
Dude, she is one of my most favorite professors. Took her for CWL 161 & 100, and she's just awesome. Participate in the class and if everyone is invested it's even more fun. She does make you work for it but dude just stop complaining. Overall though, I love her so take her. Took before Covid so don't know how she is online but she still great.
sis asked us how stressed we were from 1 to 10 and mostly everyone said 10. Then right after she goes and adds another essay to the load we just got assigned a few days ago. aye I'm still waiting for a pass by catastrophe situation to happen at school so who tryna take one for da team???
She has homework assignments every class. Participation and attendance is required. You are also required to turn on your camera. There are two group projects and 2 papers. You have to read and analyze plays and present. If you are trying to look for an easy class definitely dont take her because the work load is pretty heavy.
I don't recommend taking if you're looking for an easy upper-division elective. She requires 5x as much work effort as my major requirement classes and she is also pretty strict with grading. The quizzes are absurd and the content of the course is outdated/ boring. She's definitely a professor I will remember for all the wrong reasons.
I don't write reviews on here but this Professor is truly special. She gives so much work, she was not compassionate nor understanding with her students during these times, she takes FOREVER to respond to an email, unclear intrusions on what she wants on her papers or projects. TAKE ANOTHER PROFESSOR IF YOU CAN
I'm really not one to be overly upset about professors, but she is by far one of the worst professors I have ever had and it's unfortunate that my last year at CSULB consists of her being my professor. The workload is heavy and she does not compensate at all during these times with COVID and the difficulty of online learning.
I wanted to believe she would be a better professor as the semester went on, but somehow she got worse. The discussions and quizzes are ridiculous and far from standard due to submissions either being papers or videos you must create of yourself. She can barely keep up with grading due to constant assignments and she's confusing overall. 0 rating.
Professor Deon is everything you'd want in a professor: she teaches you about a lot of interesting media, she is super understanding and encourages you. I had her for CWL 161 and even though there was a lot of work that went into the class, I learned a lot and loved the open environment she created for everyone.
This class had a wonderful environment, everyone eventually becomes very comfortable with participating. She stresses participation and it's mandatory to turn on your cameras, but she is very welcoming when it comes to any opinions or answers shared. This class consists of discussion posts, papers, and group projects.
The class itself is easy as long as you do your work. Homework and readings are given everyday. You will be reading and watching plays as well as analyzing them. There are 2 group projects, 2 essays and 4 quizzes. Make sure to participate when it comes to discussing the plays in order to get your daily participation points.
Asynch. Lots of reading and writing of very old & boring plays. No modern plays/movies at all. Almost weekly discussion boards. 2 papers where she posts the prompt around a week before it's due. Have to create video projects relating to comedy for assignments. Basically a class where she assigns work and you do it, no lectures/teaching of any kind.
I enjoyed the class. She made it clear that she both cared about student stress levels AND wanted us to learn, so I didn't mind the workload. Cameras are RECOMMENDED, not mandatory, but it does improve the class experience. It's easy to participate and be engaged bc of the open atmosphere. She's very understanding and every discussion was fun!
Professor Deon is a very nice person. However She assigned a ridiculous amount of work with little advanced notice. Including over spring break. SHE WILL NOT TELL YOU WHEN THINGS ARE ASSIGNED. This was more work than the rest of my classes combined. Also the class is weighted poorly so only a few assignments matter. This class made me cry regularly
Professor Deon really cares for her students and is always willing to listen to their needs. She doesn't have any midterm exams or finals but she assigns in-class quizzes, group projects, and essays. The workload isn't too bad as long as you manage your time wisely. Pay attention, read the books, do assignments, and you'll do great!
Professor Deon is such a sweet and caring professor. It is clear that she cares a lot about students and does everything in her power to be flexible for students. She creates an open environment for students to talk and participate. There are 2 essays and group projects along with several discussion boards and homework assignments. Super fun class!
Professor Deon is really caring, this class is not hard at alllll as long as you go to class. There are two group projects, two papers, and about three quizzes which are the easiest quizzes ever. NO MIDTERM OR FINAL!!!! As long as you go to class and do the in class assignments you'll forsure get an A. if you're a lazy student don't take this class
She is honestly the best critical thinking professor! I was so afraid to take her class because I knew we would have to read and write essays, but this class was honestly so easy! She helps you so much on your essays if you go to office hours. The only reason I wouldn't take this class is if you're shy, because you have to participate!
Honestly going into this class I was really nervous that the professor was going to be hard on us and I was especially nervous because I don't like reading. But she was very caring and was very understanding of the students. I really encourage people to take her classes, because she does care about you unlike some other professors.
I loved professor Deon, the class itself can a little of a heavy load but she is so caring and understanding. Would 100% recommend you take her.
Professor Deon truly does care about her students well being, especially during covid. She makes adjustments if needed on the amount of work to give for an assignment. The topics learned in class are interesting and you won't regret taking this class.
First of all, this was one of my most enjoyable classes. Assignments are easy and not too much, there is always a weekly calendars that you can view to see what's due. I promise you take her, she always gives us extra time and is understandable when things don't go our way. She wants you to succeed, therefore, she will give plenty of ec oppurtuniti
Pretty good
Professor Deon is hands down one of the best professors I had. She's extremely caring towards her students and allows for due dates to be moved back. There are two essays and two group projects, which require a decent amount of work, but she's always available during office hours for help. I would take her again since she is very lively and social.
I'm a freshman at CSULB this year and so far Prof Deon has been the BEST professor I've had. Not only is she nice, she actually cares about your wellbeing and education. Class consisted of 2 essays and 2 group projects, both very easy. PLEASE take her, you won't regret it!! this class is very easy to pass, just engage with the class, it's fun.
Professor Deon truly cares about her students. The main key is to communicate with her. Deadlines too soon? Let her know and she'll be willing to extend it. Class is fun overall, especially with the selection of books that are chosen to read. The workload isn't heavy as it seems. One of the few professors that genuinely care about passing students.
To sum it up briefly, she's the best. She is really understanding and always asks what stressors her students are experiencing. If the due dates seem to close she may extend them! As for the assignments, she tends to assign them weekly but if you make sure to do them on time you should be fine. I would definitely take her class again.
Professor Deon is by far one of my most favorite professors at CSULB! The classroom atmosphere is very comfortable, welcoming, and tight knit. As someone who does not prefer to participate in lectures and discussion, this class made it incredibly easy to do so. This class requires a couple easy quizzes, participation, 2 group projects and 2 essays
Amazing Professor. She is very nice and intelligent. Her assignments are easy to do and she is always available for office hours. Highly recommend
I love Prof Deon! She created such a welcoming environment for our class, even though it was online. The workload was definitely fair, and it was the one class I looked forward to. She makes us work in groups, but the assignments are really interesting! She really cares about her students, and if I could retake the class just for fun, I would!
She is AWESOME! She cares for students and as long as you do all of the assignments and participate, youll be fine! I took 2 classes with her this semester and she was so great! Shes clear with what she expects. Show up to class and have your work done and youll get an A. For 213, comics can be found online! LAPL has books for 320!
I took the class online. The work could be overwhelming sometimes, make sure to do your HW, read, & participate. Make sure to check BeachBoard for HW. I had two major essays, several group projects, and discussion boards. Go to her office hours she will help you a lot. Also, she explains the readings and goes over HW answers. There were no quizzes.
Professor Deon is one of the best professors I have ever taken. If you have the opportunity to take her class DO IT!!! She is super caring and understanding. She pushed back several assignments when she felt we did not have enough time to complete them and has even dropped assignments all together. There was group projects but they're easy.
Class consisted of two essays, homework questions from readings, group projects, and class participation. As long as you are consistent in submitting your homework, participating in class and making an effort to be a good group member this class will be great! Assignments are not very difficult and the professor is kind and easy going.
Professor Deon is amazing, she's one of the few professors who not only lets you know that she cares but she demonstrates it as well. She's definitely not an easy A, there's quite a bit of hw which sometimes was overwhelming. Participation is a big part of your grade. If you stay on top of yourself with hw and participation, you'll get an A.
I recently had professor Deon for CWL320 and previously had her for CWL 132. She is sincerely one of my favorite professors and I loved having another class with her. She's funny and cares about her students. As long as you keep up with your assignments, you're good!
TAKE Professor Deon. She is honestly the best in CSULB this was my second time taking her class and I am taking her again next semester. She is very kind and cares for her student's mental health. There are group projects and 2 essays but it's easy!
One of the sweetest professors ever, if you have the chance take her! Easy pass if you put some type of effort, professor deon made class enjoyable, it was never boring tbh, there was a couple of group projects, only 1 quiz which we did online, and 2 easy essays. Participation and attendance impacts your grade!!
There is homework almost daily and daily participation for your grade, but overall not a hard class at all. Some of the stuff you have to read is kinda weird and can be somewhat confusing, but overall the class is more just busy work than actually hard to do. Doing the work means more than the quality of it, so just get it all done.
I would say find someone else who's teaching this course. Too much hw that can get overwhelming and the essays have to be 1050 words with a struct grading format and the final group project can be stressful. Out of all of my classes, this class overwhelmed me the most and I am taking posc history AND spanish and neither compare to this course
There will be a lot of work in this class, with group projects, essays, and reading analyses dispersed throughout the semester. There's also a lot of in-class participation, so be sure to participate to maximize your points before finals season sweeps in! The work is numerous, but very easy in terms of difficulty.
Would not recommend taking this professor, she is a harsh grader who will dock you for the smallest errors. My 300 level classes were easier than this one.
PLEASE don't listen to any of the bad reviews NONE are true she is an AMAZING professor, very kind and cares for you. Taken 3 of her classes for my GE Req and loved it. Want a chill class take her but there is a lot of reading and group projects, it really isn't hard class half the people are just super lazy if they don't pass thats how easy it is
she is so bad i dont know how or why she has such a high review. yes, she gives extensions but its often because we didn't finish discussing in class. she has extremely unclear rubrics and instructions and expects students to do meaningless assignments that take hours to complete. do not listen to these high reviews like i did.
U could finish very long assignments but still have ur grade deducted a lot if you don't participate during class. Most of the participation opportunities are limited because questions are limited which causes students to talk over each other to get points. U can show up to all classes but still have ur grade lowered because you didn't participate
There's a lot of homework but you have to participate to get full points. Most of the work itself is easy and manageable but they're long and time consuming which can get overwhelming. The work she assigns are mainly answering questions from the textbook. She also doesn't respond to emails which is annoying especially since the class is online.
Class is too much work; points are based on participation. If you can't show up to class, your homework is worth 0 credits. Even if you were to participate, she is extremely strict about the completion of homework, so your problem is still going to have points deducted anyway. She is a hard grader. A camera is also required to be on at all times.
WARNING: DON'T TAKE HER CLASS!!! Professor Deon is not only a harsh grader but also will not let you receive credit if you are late/absent in class, even if you turned in your assignment on time. I have worked for hours on assignments just for her to not give me any credit. Not to mention she is very passive-aggressive towards students w/no empathy
take this class if you like doing pointless assignments with confusing directions. she has such strict rules about everything and is very unorganized with her criteria. she wont let you into class if youre even 1 minute late. considering this is an online class, she is not accommodating at all and has no empathy for students.
She is very unprofessional and passive-aggressive. Is a tough grader and will take away points for small errors which is unfair because she constantly changes her instructions. Avoid at all costs.
When I and multiple students talked to her about the overwhelming workload, she didn't understand why and compared us to her 161 class (they don't like her either according to other reviews). Since we're comparing classes now, I don't understand why this class makes me more anxious than my bio & chem classes combined. Extremely disappointing.
Prof Deon was cool as a person but her class was so much work. There are a lot of assignments that are not really hard but they are very long and take up a lot of time. In class participation is really important, you HAVE to say something to get points which can be kind of annoying. CHECK THE SUBMISSION METHOD bc she doesn't tell if it changes
In my educational career, Professor Deon has become one of the most frustrating and careless educators I've encountered. Deon tries to explain grading criteria that make no sense and is stubborn regarding grade changes, extensions, or extra credit. Deon is strict with the requirements and deducts a large amount of points from a simple mistake.
Takes points off for tardiness and absence. Assignments are simple but too long with a short due date. Deon cancels class the morning of but still deducts 5 points if 2-3 minutes late. Hate her, don't take her. Very unwelcoming and terrible class structure. The people made it worth staying.
DONT TAKE HER CLASS!!! If you show up 1 minute late to class, you're not getting let in for 40 mins tops. Tough grader, so many pointless assignments. I stressed over this class more than i stressed over my general chem class!
She's a very caring professor. Her assignments aren't too bad. You just have to be very attentive to the instructions because any small error she will deduct points. The class overall was pretty fun though. We read comics, watched plays, and read some manga. Participation is a big thing in her class, so if you do take her be prepared.
I get why people are saying she's bad since her class polices were difficult to deal with but she's nice. Overall the class wasn't TOO hard. The assignments weren't that bad but if you're lazy (like me) ur not going to like it. The assignments were read n response type but id be like manga or the book. u NEED to participate and show up to class.
I believed the good reviews and decided to take this class (regret). So much homework and if you don't share your answers with the class, points are deducted. It seems pretty unfair as there are fewer questions compared to the students. Her directions are also unclear and she isn't understanding. Also, everyone in Discord complains about the class
The assignments weren't too hard, but her grading criteria was complicated sometimes. Her instructions were really unclear at times so you would have to figure it out yourself. She was also really confusing sometimes bc she didn't communicate properly about certain things. Doesn't respond to emails. Fixated on rules and wasn't open minded at all.
Professor Deon was a very very harsh grader, her instructions were hard and you had to decipher it yourself. I asked questions all the time and she would tell me to check canvas because everything was there (when it was not/or it was unclear). A lot of homework and group projects. Participation matters a lot. She also grades everything very late.
Took her last semester, lectures were interesting and insightful. While there were a lot of assignments, most of them weren't extremely difficult and some of them really helped when it came time to write the essays. She is willing to extend deadlines if you are swamped with work and if you are struggling going to office hours really helps!!
I love Mrs. Deon her class was AMAZING. She was very helpful and interactive with all the students. She was very caring and thoughtful. I had a great time in her class, if possible I would take this class again.
Took this class my sophomore year and the workload was unbelievable, all the assignments seemed like busy work. The MOST passive-aggressive person I've ever met. DO NOT listen to the high reviews you will regret taking her.
Attendance was mandatory but being on time was never a problem. Very easy A if you show up on time and complete all the homework. Extra credit was given and if you ever need any extra help she was always very understanding. No heavy lectures and she would always find a way to make class not so boring.
Prof. Deon was an amazing professor! She truly cares about her students. Attendance and participation matter, so make sure to show up to class. Assignments were pretty fun and involved plays, comedies, poems and comics. She is always willing to help, so don't be afraid to ask. Your grade will reflect the amount of effort you put in!
It may seem like a large workload, but she is very helpful and resourceful if you take the time to speak with her. No late work so stay on top of things, but the group projects and quizzes are not difficult and can be fun.
SHE IS SO STRICT ON NO LATE WORK, I have a B bcuz of that. Even tho it's an online class, you have to be on top of your work. SO MUCH BUSY WORK didn't learn anything. PARTICPATE too cause it counts, so you have to go to class or your grade will go down. But the work is easy (busy work) and she doesn't check it. 2 1050 word essay and 2 group project
She treats all her students poorly. 1. She pushes away students and is super condescending and passive-aggressive. Along with this, she treats her male students worse. Those who appear to be "More masculine" are treated secondary to everyone else. She called a r@pist and abuser in a comic more "masculine" as if being more of a man means that.
horrible educator with no empathy for students, does not actually teach anything of substance and a lot of class time is spent on watching or reviewing every single student's assignment as a class. stressed about this class more than my actual major courses
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IF TRYING TO TAKE AN EASY CLASS FOR A GE REQUIREMENT. SHE CLAIMS TO BE VERY UNDERSTANDING OF OUR MENTAL HEALTH AND STRESS BUT ITS FALSE. PREPARE TO HAVE SO MANY GROUP PROJECTS, PREPARE TO HAVE MULTIPLE VIDEO ASSIGNMENTS DUE, PREPARE TO BECOME A THEATRE MAJOR. THERE ARE TONS OF PLAYS YOU HAVE TO READ AS WELL. JUST DONT TAKE
Group projects. Group projects. Group projects. The limited class time is wasted listening to people share their homework answers for points; This can drag on for 40+minutes. As a GE it's more work than my major classes. The partner and group work is unnecessary and annoying.
she says she cares about our mental health but really doesn't. won't take late work and is very strict about deadlines. so many group projects and busy work that was irrelevant. she is rude and short when you ask for help and examples like she wants us to struggle. if you want a fun easy class DO NOT TAKE HER.
I'd like how Professor Doan would let us take mental breaks once in awhile, but her workload was not worth it for a class to fulfill a GE requirement. There were a lot of homework assignments/group projects with specific requirements and she required cameras during zoom. Would only open assignments for those who were in the zoom.
Seems very understand but is not. Her class is not fair whatsoever, she towards the end of the semester got worse, assigning new material the final week of class yet not even finished grading other assignments. Such a strange professor who doesn't understand other students are taking other classes. Do not take her choose someone else!!!
if ur writing skills r kinda mid, good luck. ts stressed me out more than my major classes. the class was interesting, but so many group projects/papers, the workload was crazy. i got lucky w/my group but if you don't, you will hate everything abt this class. if you're even a min late, she'll lock you out of the room and embarrass you.
no late work accepted, frequently unclear on expectations for assignments. all of class time is spent going over homework problems for participation points. final essay worth 25% of grade needed to be done in-class with an hour to do it. harsh grader on essays and projects, if you follow rubric close on homework + participate should be fine
If you are even a minute late to class she will NOT accept your work/participation even if you participate, saying it is unfair to students that are there on time. In reality, no one cares and students should be allowed to submit ONLINE assignments regardless if they are physically in class. Also, she nitpicks when grading essays (unhelpful rubric)
She's a nice person, but the class is way too much for a GE. If you are not a morning person, this is your sign NOT to take this class. Attendance is going to kill your grade, if you're late you cannot turn in assignments or get participation grades. I wish I didn't take this class there's lots of busy work, for your peace of mind, avoid!
Very harsh grader on essays, if you attend office hours she gives extension, very strict on attendance, if you are late you get no participation for the day. She is very nice but is sometimes not that helpful when it comes to emails. Class is made out of 2 quizzes 2 essays, busy work and video final.
You must be punctual and follow instructions closely. Show up early and get into Zoom or get locked out. Assigned 3 stories and used repeatedly as “theories”. For the final project, yup apply the same theories. She did a good job of teaching time management. It would have been nice to read more than a handful of stories out of a 500+ page book!
She's a really nice professor and very easy to get into contact with. Lots of group work and reading was required for this class. Luckily, in group projects, you are graded as an individual rather than a group. Missing classes will also hurt your grade and even if you're late by 5 min she will dock your participation points for the day.
Lowkey I thought she wasn't that bad, don't let the other reviews scare you. If you do your work you should be fine. Attendance does matter, so show up tbh. There isn't any tests . Just two group projects and 3 partner quizzes, they're super simple though. You need three books for the class. A lot of busy work.
Make sure not to fall too behind on any work given in class. The class is very group orientated, it would require you to come out of your comfort zone to complete group projects and assignments. Overall, Professor Deon is very straightforward and clear about when assignments and projects should be done. You get to watch movies and read comics! :)
Prof. Deon is a witty professor with a lot of personality! If you're a fan of interactive learning this is for you. I found this course to be refreshing as many others are pretty serious in nature. Prof. Deon keeps the curriculum and environment fairly lighthearted. As long as you communicate and participate it should be a similar experience!
Professor Deon is such an amazing professor! She does a really good job of getting the whole class to interact/work together. Don't worry about all the reading because they're all fun reads and nothing too heavy. There are no tests, which is great, just group projects/presentations and 2 essays! Professor Deon is my favorite Professor I've had!
I seriously can't stand her! She's so strict about late work—it's ridiculous. I told her I had tech issues, and she was like, “I don't do favoritism.” Okay, relax! Just be careful when submitting homework because she's not gonna let anything slide. Oh, and heads up—the quizzes count way more toward your grade than the final. Makes zero sense
Professor Deon assigns a lot of assignments, then complains about having a lot of assignments to grade. She will give you assignments to complete within two days time that will be extremely time consuming. Do not take this class if you are only taking it for a GE requirement, it will be the worst decision you ever make. I do not recommend.
prof deon is great if you actually go and reach out to her. homework is typical of any english/writing class, if you dont care for it, it all feels like busywork, its not that bad you're just reading comics, for the essays GO TO HER OFFFICE HOURS!!! as she is very helpful in giving you an exact idea of what she wants, lots of group work! beware
this class definitely got me out of my comfort zone but it's too much work for a ge. participation and attendance is important. this class isn't difficult but a lot of assignments. group project for midterm and final which was the hardest thing. bad reviews are from people who wanted to be late and not participate with no consequences.
I thought this was a simple G.E class but turns out it's a whole another thing. A very annoying class to take. So much group projects, and just over all tedious. Gives us so much work weekly, and expects us to do our projects and essays at the same time. Would not recommend to take, as it bothers with my other classes because of all the work.
Professor Dion was a bit high strung and serious. I took this class online in 2024, and I thought it would be chill. But every day we had to keep our cameras on and she called on people constantly. It truly made me dread coming to her class. There were group projects but they were kind of fun. Overall, it's not hard but there's a ton of busywork.
I made an account just to write about this professor. Her class is not difficult, show up, do the work. However, she will add arbitrary rigor to the class by giving terrible instructions for assignments and being incredibly strict with her due dates. Do NOT take this class EVER.
Took her online class and honestly so much unnecessary work that often seemed useless. She doesn't accept late work yet gives you little time notice before assignments are due. Her workload felt super overbearing and even if you're a minute late to zoom she knocks down participation points. If you need to take this class find a different professor
She gives a ton of busy work. She's cool but she does too much. It's all group work and she gives the grading rubic for assignments so late. Attendance and participation is mandatory, miss one class or come late and your grade will drop. The class itself is interesting.
AVOID THIS PROFESSOR! She does not accept late work under ANY circumstance, instructions are purposely unclear, assigns an insane amount of busywork, impossible to reason with, participation is mandatory, etc. Multiple in-person group projects that demand your free time, strictly-graded essays that weigh 25% of total grade, and tons of homework.
She doesn't give enough time to do assignments. We are always doing something, there will never be just a free class to catch up. We constantly have 3 different assignments to be working on all which are completely unrelated to each other. She gave us hardly any time to write an essay. 2 group video projects (midterm and final). DON'T TAKE!
I've taken this professor all 4 years and she's amazing. Yes there is homework and attendance is mandatory but there are no tests. She gives plenty of opportunities to make sure you don't get a low grade. COMMUNICATION is key with her! Don't be afraid to talk to her, she is one of the best teachers I've taken, hence why I've taken her every year.
I absolutely loved Professor Deon's teaching style. I took 3 of her classes, and she has been such a delight to learn from and always kept me excited to attend her classes. She demonstrated great passion for the material she taught as well as great care for her students in making sure we had learned it properly. Thank you Professor Deon!
Second time taking her, she is one of the best professors I've had. Communication is key, go to office hours, build a connection. She doesn't believe in quizzes/exams so she does fun group projects instead and easy hmk. Students who leave bad reviews are being extra! She is genuinely nice and likes doing fun activities in class.
Professor Deon makes her literature courses interactive and informative. Being a test-anxiety prone student, I truly feel like I thrive in her class as she emphasizes learning through the direct application of the information presented in class through projects and critical thinking assignments rather than just handing you a quiz every week.
I absolutely loved taking this class. The material was fun to learn and very educational. The only thing I would say is DO NOT take as an 8am if you are not a morning person. Also, to get the most out of this class and to have the best experience, participate whenever possible. Kind professor and fun class, 10/10 would recommend.
The content was easy but boring. Many useless and needlessly lengthy assignments and she often assigned multiple group projects that would overlap and make it very confusing to complete. Make sure you pick a good table group because you're gonna be with them for the whole semester. Also don't take this at 8 am she WILL lock you out if you're late.
Worst prof I've ever had. Horrible professor, zero empathy, creates unnecessary assignments. Instructions were convoluted and clarification was needed on every assignment. Often gave lessons without explanation that we did not understand the point of. Will take away points in attendence, participation and big assignments if you are late. DON'T TAKE
Professor Deon is amazing. She is extremely knowledgeable, great at explaining content, and helps her students. Her assignments are lengthy; however, they do have a purpose. The work she gives is meant for the student to fully understand the content of what we are reading and think about it. I highly reccommend her class for lit students.
prof. deon is very understanding and cares about your grade. she assigns lot of hw so be prepared. her hw does feel irrelevant/repetitive at times, but you get used to it. she doesn't give a lot of quizzes, mainly just writing/group work.
