Reviews of professor Laura Lovett

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Avoid at all costs. 60% of your grade is determined by 3 assignments, all due in the last 3 weeks of class. Doesn't follow her own syllabus, often gives unclear (and contradictory) instructions on what she wants for large assignments. Extremely disorganized and unavailable outside of class.

This woman is so unorganised and scatterbrained, it's such a waste. She has amazing connections and will introduce you to so many interesting professionals, but be prepared for so much confusion. Major assignments don't have rubrics (she refuses to make them), due dates are confused, and she gives very poor lectures so prepare to teach yourself.

Dr. Lovett was fantastic to work with for the history capstone. She was always available for feedback, and was very lenient on the subject you wrote on. She always made the class enjoyable and made all feel incredibly comfortable while writing one of the hardest papers of your academic career. Would definitely take her again.

Professor Lovett was less than enjoyable. Her lectures were jumbled, paper grading was extremely tough (no rubrics at all), & she had no clear exam structure. Her class is confusing overall & there is no actual understanding of content/expectations. I was hoping to get an interesting gen ed but I got a mess of a class and a disorganized prof.

Professor Lovett is amazing. She actually puts a lot of work into her lectures. Uses primary sources in the power points and explains the history so well. She cares about her students so much and goes out of her way to help them. I had her for two classes, and both blew me away. I learned so much in a way that made me care and want to learn more.

no.

Class is graded based on participation in class, weekly discussion posts, two papers and two written exams. No rubrics or grading schemes. A LOT of assigned reading, but I got by just through skimming. It's clear the professor really cared about us as well as the content she was lecturing on.

I loved this class. Professor Lovett brought tons of cool guest lectures in to talk to our class about whatever topic we were on. There was a lot of writing and readings, however, that is to be expected for a high-level history class. It is very manageable even as a non-history major.

I took Gender and Sexuality in the US since 1865 and I really enjoyed the course. She covered a wide variety of information that I had never learned about that was extremely interesting and engaging. There were weekly readings and occasional discussion posts. We also had a group project, a midterm and final, and two papers.
