Reviews of professor Alyssa Banford Witting

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof BW is so kind and accommodating!  This class really helps you open your eyes to discrimination, bias, privilege and more. Attendance wasn't taken (though you should go to class for quizzes), but I wanted to be in class each day. I love learning from presenters and peers. Prof BW is just a wonderful person. She takes feedback well.

This class is a pass/fail class, and it's an easy pass. Lots of great information about the School of Family Life. Coursework for the week takes under 30 minutes. Some assignments take more time, but they are still super easy. With it being an on-demand course, I didn't get to know Dr. BW very well, but she made it clear that she was there for us!

This has been my favorite class of my undergrad so far, because of Prof BW. She is the best. Class prep may be more than you're used to but it's so worth it! Assignments and tests are very fair and there are lots of extra credit opportunities. Subject matters can be heavy but I love how I have grown and what I have learned this semester.

Readings before each class with a written response (interesting, not too hard), a handful of papers (also not that hard), midterm and final (also not too bad). You do a few presentations throughout the semester, but they're doable. I actually really enjoyed them! Presenters from other cultures. Learning from class members. GREAT class! Low stress!

Pass or fail, EASY PASS! I finished the entire course within the first month of the semester. Good info, clear deadlines, easy expectations. Everything is due in the last week of class, but you can do everything whenever you want. Quizzes are super easy. Assignments take between 30min-1hr per week in class. Witting is understanding and accessible!

Dr. BW is an incredible person and professor. Class can be emotionally taxing because it requires a lot of introspection and self-work, but she helps her students feel safe. Life-changing and interesting class. Guest speakers are fantastic. Grading depends on TA, but Dr. BW makes sure grades are fair. 5 3-page papers, 2 tests, 3 presentations.
