Reviews of professor Vida Samuel

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I had the opposite experience with her being online for HDFS2001. Doesn't tell you how many response posts are due and deducts points off anyways, bad at her deadlines on Husky CT to match up with the syllabus, and when questions are asked she responds with referring to things that we already have looked at before asking. Such a shame!

DONT TAKE THIS CLASS INTROVERTED PEOPLE! professor is ok but the work is annoying. you have to care for a virtual baby sounds fun, IT'S NOT. makes you do icebreakers at the beginning of every class. you need to do a 30 minute group presentation or as she likes to call it a facilitation. this class was my worst nightmare as an introvert.

This semester she said she isn't doing any tests/quizzes/exams. This class is heavy on discussion and reading the textbook. There is a lot of group work, but for some assignments, you can choose to do it alone. She is a very funny professor if you connect with her. She gives mental health days in the syllabus and it really does help. I recommend!

Professor Samuel is amazing at teaching! 
This class consisted of two projects- a group facilitation & a gallery walk. We also had weekly homework assignments. Overall I enjoyed taking this class!

I have taken Dr. Samuel for multiple classes and I honestly lover her classes! It was a no brainer for me to take her course during quarantine. There is a lot of reading expected of you and an online child to care for but you do learn a lot. Easy class to pass and if you need help she is open to help you. I highly recommend anyone to take her class

Always show up to all the classes, online reading quiz due every Sunday it is super easy it just takes time to get it done. A group project and a paper about the topic you wrote about. Again ALWAYS go to class. there is a book that is like 80 dollars and you need it in order to get your homework done. Put in the work the class is not hard.

She is an amazing professor who cares about all her students. It is always beneficial to have a teacher who is not only knowledgeable but also invested in the success and well-being of their students.
