Reviews of professor Lolita Samuel

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I took her class in fall of 2021 and from what I can summarize briefly to save the headache of her class: Class is all essays 3 main ones and a final Professor is very unclear on her specifications for her assignments Textbook is useless for essays She chose to take a TWO WEEK vacation without informing anyone while two major essays were due

Professor Samuel is animated, knowledgeable, and the true definition of an educator. She pushes her students, which I guess means bad reviews on this site, but I think it would be a shame if you missed out on any class she taught because of unhappy students who wrote unfitting reviews. Take her and you will be better off, period. She is very good.

This professor is underrated. Definitely deserves better!

She is overall a great professor. I recommend taking her class in the summer, she only gives one assignment a week. She acknowledges the semester is short and hectic. In her discussions make sure to give detailed responses and to answer the question fully. If you like history then you will enjoy the class more.

I'm not the biggest fan of American history but her lectures were so interesting I actually paid attention and retained the information! Not a lot of work at all just occasional discussion posts and essays which you get a lot of time to complete, just make sure to follow the directions. Love how she keeps things real.

It's surprising that she's seen as mean when she's actually kind and understanding. Just read the book beforehand, follow her instructions, and ask for feedback if needed beforehand. She's not a harsh grader. Lastly, there are one final paper (5-7) and two mini-papers (3-5) with discussion boards.

The rudest professor here at FIU. Asked us to write an opinion paper and said we DID NOT need to use sources. She took points off of mine because I didn't use a source (but in reality, it was because I used a conservative viewpoint). Waste of time to argue with such a dense professor.
