Reviews of professor Rebecca Major

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
A great prof. that I would recommend, she genuinely puts her enthusiasm and effort into teaching. Very easy-going and approachable, she does what she can to make the lectures interesting and accommodate every type of learner. I would recommend her to anyone

Prof is a very tough grader. Will deduct .4 of a mark to keep the grade under an 80. Gives a 2500 page final within a time frame of 4 days during exam week. 70% on one of her papers is considered a high grade. Will deduct points on assignments for things that werent specifically in the rubric or are considered up to personal interpretation.

This prof is the classic example of left wing activist-turned-professor. She spends more time spouting out her radical, racial politics than studying course material. Absolutely do not take any of her classes unless you don't mind going to lectures that have nothing to do with the course. How did she even get hired? Horrible prof.

Dr. Major is a breath of fresh air for the university. Material covers a number of important issues which she speaks to from her own lived experience. Assignments will push you to be reflexive, but she gives great feedback and is very accessible.

She does not really understand the material and will always go on super random tangents. Her lectures are boring and literally just reads her slides word by word. Instead of giving you all the information about papers due at once, she will spread tiny bits of info over all the lectures and therefore confuse you. Drop the class if you still can!!

She is a decent prof, though she has a tendency to ramble off about other things. You definitely don't need to attend classes, as long as you read the textbook you should be fine. I've taken two of her classes and the TA I had for this class grades unreasonably. It felt like no matter what I did for my assignments, it was not good enough.
