Reviews of professor Rachel Bezner Kerr

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Kind professor but not very effective. Seemed half-invested the entire semester. Most lectures relied on discussions of readings, about 3 dense readings a week. Tough grader, doesn't give adequate explanations of what's expected of assignments. Gives verbal exams.

Really nice professor and had very interesting lectures. Liked to call McDonald's the "evil empire" during class. Very helpful during office hours if you had questions about papers, even offering to read through it before it was due. Labs were really fun, and reasonable workload (non-mandatory readings, 3 papers, weekly lab reports, final project)

She's very knowledgable about food justice, but she came off as somewhat aloof and passive-aggressive throughout the course. She wrote off all fast food as bad, and her viewpoints lacked nuance and intersectionality to an extent. I'd take a class with her again, but only because she teaches in my area of interest and I'd have to (DSOC 3400).

She was a tough grader on assignments without giving any helpful feedback. Argues constantly with her co-professor to the point where class is uncomfortable. Additionally, dismissive toward me during office hours.
