Reviews of professor Lody Odeh

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I would definitely take her again! She is very clear on what is required in the class but truly cares about her students. She is always there to help. You can succeed in her class but you have to work hard to get an A. You definitely need to listen to her lectures, study and participate. I definitely learned a lot from this class!

Professor Odeh is very well-versed in her field of study and therefore the lectures and class discussions are very educational and really eye-opening on the Middle East and all the region entails. As long as you do all of your assignments on time, write well, and go to class, you should make an A. I definitely would take this class again.

Dr. Odeh is one of the best professors at Mercer. She knows so much about IR & has much experience in the field. There is not much homework other than the quizzes which are open notes, but you still HAVE to read the passage. There is a debate that every person has to complete but it fun & exciting! The exams are not difficult as long as you STUDY!

probaly the realist and most down-to-earth professor. She truly cares for her students and made her expectations clear. As long as you do your readings and listen to her lecture, you will do fine. She point out specific things you need to know for her exam and is fair in grading. Will definitely take her again.

She's a good professor who knows what she's doing and taught us valuable information about the Middle East that many wouldn't know otherwise. May seem intimidating but very kind and values everyone's opinion. Not a difficult class but expectations are made clear and you do have to do the readings and participate in discussions to get a good grade.

This class was very easy. There were not many assignments and only one final paper. Dr. Odeh is there when you need her and she will help in any way possible.

She's the best professor I've taken. She truly cares about her students and wants them to succeed. Her lectures are insightful, and participation is crucial in class. I also believe it's not an easy A; you have to work for it. Especially for her weekly reading quizzes (comprehensive) and the debate (the most challenging part of the semester).

Dr. Odeh really challenges you to think about the role of foreign countries and their actions in shaping the current state of the Middle East. She is a fair grader, but you need to put a lot of effort into writing the reading and documentary responses. I would highly advise starting you final presentation and paper early.
