Reviews of professor Ferial Pearson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Pearson is the best! I've taken two classes with her and have taken so much from her. She is kind, fun, and gives a crap about education and her students. Take her if you can!

FERIAL PEARSON IS AN AMAZING HUMAN BEING! She is so caring for all students and wants everyone to succeed and offers grace when needed. Just hearing Dr. Pearson speak is inspirational, she has so much advice to offer her students. You will need to read almost weekly as they lead to the class discussion. Absolutely love her & provided food 4 finals!

Dr. Pearson is one of the best professors I have had so far. The professor's lectures are very interactive, and appeals to every student in the room. If one ever needs help with a topic, or homework, (anything really), Dr. Pearson will be there to assist; during class and outside of class. 100% recommend! (Fall 2021)

I loved this class! It was such a great experience and any future teacher needs to take this class! It makes you think and is very current to today's issues in America. Great teacher, she makes you think and explore yourself!

She is amazing. She will challenge you in your views and beliefs at times. She will be open and honest about struggles. She is gracious, and also understanding. She will help you understand different cultures so much.

Ferial dropped this phrase in class one day and I'll never forget it: "I want your best work, not your stressed work." You can tell she really wants us to be great teachers and to give 100%, but she also understands we have lives and will accomodate us however she can.

this course is all Dr Pearson opinion.
She has strong feelings about certain groups of people and it is not an open forum to share ideas. just sit quietly and you will survive. There are weekly readings

She is an amazing teacher. I would take her every semester if I could. The information she teaches is so relevant and every education major should take her class.

Dr. Pearson made me feel so safe in her class. She is extremely experienced and brings amazing perspectives into her class. She is incredibly accommodating and will always do her best to see you succeed. Late work is accepted. Conversations flow easily. She creates a safe space. HIGHLY recommend taking this class; best professor I've studied under.

Great professor, but wasn't into how she taught. Not sure if it's because of covid or what but couldn't really pay attention.

I have never met a teacher that can make students feel as welcomed and valued as Dr. Pearson can. I know that taking her class has made me a better teacher. You will read at least 16 books during the semester, so it's time consuming. Every book was worth reading, and I got a lot out of the discussions during class. You will not regret taking this!
