Reviews of professor Dustin Louie

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dustin was really caring throughout the semester. He gives a good effort to try to make the class more interesting and more engaging. However I struggled with his grading criteria and it was hard to get a hold of him to clear things up properly.

The TAs were more my professor than Louie was. When you did get a hold of him he was pretentious and belittling and made you feel bad throughout his vague explanations and poor organization. His course was easy enough, do a short chapter writing weekly, one article review, and one position paper. His scheduling was bad and classes not needed

Intro class. He can seem unapproachable but he is actually nice and willing to help with whatever you have. Made his class more of a discussion on the topic rather than a lecture which was nice. Participate and you will get the most out of the class. Few assignments that are super easy.

The textbook was more my prof than Louie. When you did see him during the optional zoom lectures, he had a very pretentious, unapproachable air that deterred me from his lessons. The course was very textbook based, most participation assignments were just "read then summarize this chapter". The stuff in the textbook was alright

Louie was overall a decent prof. His TAs were great. Criteria was always clear, and course outline was followed very rigorously. However, lectures were boring because he would just summarize the chapters of reading that were due that day, yet they were mandatory because there were random pop quizzes throughout the year. Very kind and accommodating.

Dr Louie is an awesome professor who definitely makes you take the teaching profession seriously. He delivers content in a way that's intriguing and easy to follow, while really making you consider why you chose to be a teacher and the responsibility it entails. NOT for anyone who thinks teaching is an easy career - he'll shatter your dreams.

Prof actually did nothing for our class this semester. Did three lectures total and did not even mark our assignments given. I am upset because I was so excited to start education and also this is only education class I can take before 4th and 5th year and he did not put any effort at all. He did not even know when our reading week

Class was okay. Easy to get poor marks in if you do poorly on an assignment. Stickler for APA. Interesting lectures, though he's super duper liberal. So you might find yourself walking on eggshells.

I rarely went to this class as it's just discussion on readings from the textbook & I'm not one to discuss, but still did the readings on my own. Your grade is from two papers, one group project, & some pop quizzes that are for extra credit. Dustin is great if you like discussion, but if not, just work hard for the assignments & you'll get an A.
