Reviews of professor Kim Dionne

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
LECTURE - engaging, straight forward, no nonsense, get ready to participate TEST - write vocab defs, essay, note card "cheat sheet", STUDY HARD QUIZ - open book, on readings PROF - intimidating, but works hard to boost student success, open to feedback, gives EC WORK - lots of reading and writing, If you can't put in effort, don't register

The way she teaches is like most professors, slides and you take notes on those slides. She is very anal on attendance. To make sure you show up to class and stay the whole time she gives quizzes. Her midterms and finals are also heavily based on lectures and not just readings. She gives way too much reading every night.

Professor Dionne is an incredible professor, I only wish that I was a political science major so that I could take her again & again. Politics of the underdeveloped world is a topic that is difficult enough as it is to understand, but she explained it so well that I was eager to learn more. Her quizzes are easy, as are her tests. Just READ.

Probably one of the best professors I've had at UCR maybe even my favorite. I truly love attending class and listening to the Prof's lectures. They're always very interested and have lots of infromation. She's very knowledgeable about the topics she teaches!

Professor Dionne is hands down the greatest professor at UCR.  She is incredibly passionate about her class, and cares a great deal about her students.  Taking "Pandemic Politics" my first year was the single luckiest choice I made at this school.  If you get the chance, please take a class with Kim, and go to her office hours! You won't regret it.

This professor was very cruel and controlling

She is a wonderful professor, among the best I have had at UCR. Her readings are fairly complex but if you get the basic idea, you can participate in class. The concepts are big but Kim will make it approachable for you.

Mandatory attendance and daily quizzes on 8 am each morning. Cannot be late; Two midterms and one final; Essay is 50% of each test; 30-50 pages each day She considered herself as approachable but in fact a dictatorial teaching that is self-center and ignore students opinion. has bias towards second language learner, especially hard and mean

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Comes off as condescending a lot of the time, and tries too hard to be funny. Her lectures are based on readings so make sure to read the assigned pages.

I have had this professor twice and have enjoyed her both times. She really cares about students learning the content and provides interesting readings. Weekly quizzes make up the majority of the grade and are easy if you do the reading. Lectures are fun and engaging; the conversation is frequently opened up for participation.
