Reviews of professor Emily Engel

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Her lectures are poorly organized but the material is relatively easy and completely doable. There are three essays throughout the quarter and they all have the same prompt so it's pretty easy to figure out how to write the essay. Personally, I did not like this class because the disorganization was too much but it's not particularly challenging.

Very lecture heavy but does not put anything on lecture slides besides pictures. Very hard for non-auditory learners to learn since she verbally lectures all information. Requires a lot of memorization of a lot of terms. No clear focus as to what the class is meant to be about. Does not show up for office hours and does not respond to emails.

This class adapted the best to online mode. Yes, there's a lot of reading, but even if you just skim to get the general ideas, you'll do well. The lectures sorta long, but the group work is easy. Overall, They are so incredibly flexible and understanding during all this, and seem to want you to succeed. Especially the TAs. Truly homies.

Great lectures by Professor Engel. A very intelligent and interesting perspective on the topic she teaches. The class has been incredibly easy. I do agree that there were few assignments, and her slides only gave key terms, but she always verbally explained them and allowed us to interpret them. Made me consider classes in other departments.

Awful lectures. Little to no content on lectre slides and she just spews endless information verbally for an hour without indicating what is important or not. Would NOT recommend LAIS 10 OR this professor. Ever.

I took LAIS 10 with her and it was quite easy but there's way too much info and readings. She's not super organized in lectures and there is no power points or anything. Just her words and if you want something extra, section can help.

She just talks and talks for an hour with no words on her slides to indicate the topic shes on. Just has some pictures that she wont share on GS Bc its her intellectual property. Okay, but its your job to share that w us and theyre pictures you googled. Disorganized and doesnt mention what she wants us to recognize study or remember. Dont.

Her lectures were boring and hard to follow. We had group work every week with the same people, meaning if you fall into the role of doing everything, you're stuck forever. Also, she was very confusing with links and what would happen during class. All around would not take again.
