Nice, Genuine, Caring and a Love of her subject matter. That's all we can ask for in a prof. I think other comment is slightly unfair. She took time to become acclimatized to the class. Made good alterations; has improved in the course of the semester. I'd take her again and suggest her! She is also fun; always smiles!

Class was extremely boring at the beginning of the year but as the semester went on the material, as well as the class, became a-lot more interesting. Tests are easy and straightforward, a few papers to write but nothing too hard, I never once opened my book and I made A's on all the tests. Pay attention in class, take notes, and you'll get an A.

Professor Deem is a spunky, quirky woman who loves the subject she teaches. Every week summaries of the chapter are required and so is attendance. The work is annoying and tedious but doable.

It's not an easy A, but it is possible. She'll bend over backwards to help if you ask her for help, but she won't offer and won't "hold your hand" - if that's what you need look elsewhere. She's a great teacher; her tests challenge you, but are manageable (60% in class; 40% at home). Recommend her to anyone who wants to learn, but not be spoon-fed.

She is not capable of understanding the concerns of students, does not give clear feedback or deadlines, and assumes that two days to complete a heavy workload is enough. I would never suggest or wish a lazy, unprofessional, incompetent "professor" like Lynnette. Be ready to advocate for yourself and stand your ground. Very pathetic.

Absolutely no feedback is given for any grading. No instructions. A gen ed LBST should NOT be this stressful.

I seriously do not recommend this class. Very difficult and tough for an LBST. She never answers emails on time and never understands personal issues. Every module is posted late and she expects us to finish it all everytime. Only plus is her late-work policy

This professor requires no textbook, however gives assignments to complete based on terrible powerpoints she makes and will tell you not to use outside sources. Does not grade assignments on time, gives no feedback on grades and gives heavy assignments with less than a week to complete. Worst professor Ive had.

So terrible, should have dropped. You'll have 6 essays to write, 3 research projects, and 3 books to read. Not to mention the weekly readings and assignments. Changes due dates, very unclear, gave like 2 days to write the final exam essay (2-3pg). LBST should never be this insane. Avoid at all costs, seriously; it's a GPA killer.

Lazy, wasteful of your time, gives sorry excuses for not grading assignments, Doesnt post work on canvas until last minute, assumes no one has a life and requires to read books with no heads up, doesnt help with any work, PowerPoints have no quality information, gives research project week before its due on finals week along with final exam

Run don't walk from this professor. This course is an LBST that should be easy and maybe even a little fun if you like history but it will kill your GPA no matter how much effort you put in. She's an extremely tough grader who gives you an insane amount of busy work to do. Gives NO feedback on grades and uses terrible powerpoints to teach material.

Made what was supposed to be a fun and relatively easy class into the worst one I've ever had. Seems incredibly unsympathetic to any issues students may face. She said she wouldn't give study guides because it makes "lazy" students only to then focus her tests on things no one knew to study for, no multiple choice to all short response and essays.

Class was asynchronous online, so all materials were in Canvas. Much of it was just bulks of unnecessary information. She takes FOREVER to grade and also grades extremely tough with no feedback at all. Never seems to respond to her emails. This is ridiculously horrible for it to be a GenEd course, so I recommend taking another professor!

Professor Deem is a very tough grader. I did everything the assignment said and never seemed to get about a C or low B. Discussions have to be exactly to her standards and essays are long. Only good thing is quiz answers are on quizlet. I would not suggest taking this class.

She gives out lazy work and grades super rough. I always followed the instructions but nothing was ever good for her. I would try to email her for guidance but she always responded with a few sentences that didn't help at all. My advice, take a different class unless you want to work your hardest to only receive a bad grade.

She is not a terrible teacher. In fact I thoroughly enjoyed her lectures. My only complaint about her was how she did not respond to emails very well and the fact that her tests are all written response. However, that being said they are also open note so as long as you take notes during class you will be fine.

It's asynchronous online class. She didn't reach out to us very often, but I found her to be easy to reach via email - and willing to excuse assignments or grant extensions when necessary. I have learned a lot from her this year!!

She makes the class incredibly difficult, almost as if she gets pleasure out of making questions really complicated. Take another professor if possible.

Great Lectures. She tried hard to make class fun with a variety of in-class assignments / work. She can be slow to respond to email, but her responses are always helpful and detailed. I enjoyed the class!

There is no reason why an Arts and Society film class most people take as a gen ed should be this hard. Such a harsh grader and for what, sorry to break it to you but no one actually cares. I tried and I still got a C, I just needed 3 more credits this semester and my gpa tanked.
