Reviews of professor Anna Vallye

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I am a very hard worker, and I do not think that my grade reflects how hard I worked in this class. Her midterms are unnecessary and complicated, with vague rubrics. The midterm is done on Sutori, so she can check how long you spend on an assignment. She is a harsh grader and leaves harsh comments. She expects you to work as hard as she does.

Very passive aggressive and a terrible grader. If something deviates from the rubric just a little she'll take points off. She does not put words on the slides so make sure you take good notes. Very mean at times, building cultures is not worth taking if she is teaching it.

If you don't take really good notes, you will fail this class. Prof. Vallye is probably the worst and least helpful professor I have ever had.

She emailed me at midnight giving me a zero, calling my work terrible and accussed me of plagarism only to email me a full day later that she made a mistake and confused me with another student's paper.

Professor Vallye was an awful professor. Not only myself, but my fellow classmates all agree she was belittling and super harsh with her grading and comments at people during classes. Her lectures were very boring and added many group assignments that were also graded very unfairly. Would never take her class again.

Possibly one of the most frustrating experiences I've had with a teacher in College. Is very rarely satisfied by any work that is created, expects students to do many hours of tedious research outside of class each week. Did not spit workload between groups evenly AT ALL. You'll likely get either a B or a D- and there is no in-between. Avoid!

The course itself isnt based off any textbooks and is solely made by her and only based off her powerpoints. The class doesnt go over a single building outside of Europe or the US. The assignments and exams feel purposefully confusing with convoluted rubrics just so she can take off points and you cant choose what buildings you want to write about.

Overall, her courses were pretty interesting, however, I don't think Professor has a clear plan of her courses. Moreover, she LOVES group projects, so no matter what class you take with her, there will be at least one. One thing to look out for is bibliography in your papers, so make sure to follow EVERY SINGLE GUIDELINE specified in the rubric.

In addition to her passive aggressive attitude, Prof Vallye makes projects overly complicated and then penalizes you for even the smallest deviance from her rubric. She cold calls people and is a big fan of forced group projects. While the material itself is interesting, dealing with her teaching style made this class completely not worth taking.
