Reviews of professor Deborah Howard

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Howard will upload 40-minute to hour-long lectures online & then spend class time playing bingo, & when a student brought that up to her she danced around their critique & made it out to be that they were disrespectful. This might as well just be an online class the way she wastes time. She doesn't set her students up to succeed.

Awesome professor!! The material is difficult so make sure you're prepared, best to start studying earlier so you don't feel overwhelmed. She curves the exams a little since they are difficult! Not many assignments, lectures are online "reversed teaching" so during class you work on group assignments. 3 exams and a final, drops the lowest. 8/10

This class, despite technically being in person, was an online class. Lectures from 1-2 hours 2x a week for homework, and assignments in class. Assignments took 15 minutes in class, and the rest of the time was some random rant. I did appreciate that she drops the lowest exam grade though. Save the time and just take an online class instead.

She was great!! Doing good on her tests is SUPER important because they weigh so much and since you have the option to drop the final. You will not receive grace for missing test dates, I had to leave town for Thanksgiving, come back to school to take my exam since you aren't allowed to take them another time, then go back out of town again.

If you have another option, take it. I would not recommend this as a summer course. The tests are really hard, you have to understand the material in and out if you don't want to fail. It is a flipped course and there are hours of lectures to watch online. You pay for a book you never use but you have to HW that doesn't even help. Just don't do it.

She was really nice, but does not tolerate rudeness. I loved going to her class because she was really understanding of my disability. If you do what you're supposed to you'll be fine.

Just take her! She cares about her students grade gives SO much extra credit and only wants to see you succeed UNLIKE many professors you will experience. One of my favorite professors - lecture wise. I am happy I took her as she explains things in a way you can actually understand with such complex criteria it was necessary!

Doesn't take extra credit.

Professor Howard is a funny, kind, adaptable, understanding, interesting person who is passionate about her subject. Flipped classroom: lectures at home worksheets in class (have to be present to earn credit), sometimes lectures long but interesting, cool, and entertaining. 4 tests including final, lowest score dropped. 1 group project and paper :)
