Reviews of professor Merie Kirby

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
favorite professor I've had at UND.  All her courses generally follow the same format, you have a required reading (the books are usually interesting) and then class just an open discussion.  You have a short journal every week thats due and a couple short papers.Genuinely cares about her students and super approachable. Easy A but you learn a lot.

Very nice professor but the class was incredibly boring. Every assignment is worth 1 point. Attendance matters but it doesn't matter if you participate in discussion or not so for the most part class was just her asking questions while everyone stared back at her blankly. Because discussion isnt graded some people didnt even do the readings.

Professor on a power trip. Turned in a paper that I worked hard on and she told me she was going to fail me for plagiarizing. Transferred the next semester and turned in the same paper and got an A on it

Dr. Kirby is such a kind woman. I have had such a hard time this semester, and I emailed her about it, and she made sure to help me. She wanted me to do well- I can tell she cares. Lots of material to read but if you do your work you should have no problem getting a good grade. She also let me turn in late work once she understood why it was late.
