Reviews of professor Ayanna Dozier

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This teacher is tough. I took this class to fill a requirement and now I worry for my gpa. She never explains things simply, always a long-form answer leaving you with more questions. She asserts her opinions and beliefs and you're gonna be penalized if you disagree with them. You can put your heart & soul into a paper and she will shred you still.

This is a very difficult class. Its is very reading-heavy and the readings that she assigns are often very long. She's really smart and incredibly intimidating but she's better if you go to office hours. She's a tough grader but can tell when you put in effort. Participation is key: answer her questions, ask your own and "engage with the material".

Ayanna is the worst teacher I have ever had in my student career. She is what is wrong with the education system. Her material is heavily opinionated, and lectures are not based on facts whatsoever. You must conform to her outrageously left leaning ideals or she will hate and fail you. Ayanna is an embarrassment to Fordham and should be fired. SOS

Prof Dozier is nice but she is an unnecessarily tough grader. She'll never force you to participate but if you're the type of the student that hates participating you will feel very out of place as the course is very discussion-oriented. And if you're like me and you take her class just to fulfill a core requirement, you're in for a rude awakening.

Dr. Dozier is the most open and honest professors at Fordham. She is straightforward about the assignments and the difficulty of the class and provides excellent feedback on assignments that helps students become better writers and thinkers. Take this class if you are willing to be challenged and to think critically about the world we live in.

Prof. Dozier had extreme views, and if you did not agree with her then you were wrong. She is clearly passionate about what she teaches, but she unnecessarily obfuscates the meaning behind her lectures with the use of large words and vague explanations. She also said she never gives an A. She must forget she teaches an intro class, not a grad one.

I ADORE Professor Dozier. If you are majoring in some sort of communications or journalism, I would definitely take her class. She is obviously very passionate and educated in the topic and class was always interesting. Readings were long, but the homework and two papers you are assigned are manageable. Cheat sheet on midterm & final.

Quite frankly the worst professor I have ever had. She is the most closed minded person I have met. She despises white men, and all of her assignments attack white men. She is so aggressive during class that if you say anything that is not heavily liberal she will rip you apart. Besides that, the material is horrible, and I do not recommend her.
