Reviews of professor Michelle Bae-Dimitriadis

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Her class is now easy but she is still not great at leading discussions. Her class is very awkward now that it's online due to the coronavirus and students are often uninterested or bored. The topics she discusses can be very interesting and engaging but I do feel that the class is too long. She is also having computer issues all the time.

I couldn't get into a section with either of the other professors and wish I had. I heard this class was amazing. NOT with this professor! If you can wait to take it with someone else you'll be better off!

I took the class because it sounded very interesting but prof. Bae ruins it because she is unable to lead a discussion, overanalyzes everything, and milks the same topic for the whole class period which is super boring. I'd give her a 2 but half of the reviews on here are her own so... Take this if you want the least rewarding A ever.

Michelle is very caring and understanding when it comes to students' well being and managing stress. I needed a week long extension on one of the papers and she gave it to me with no issues. However, her grading criteria isn't always clear and she can be hard to understand at times.

Nice but unclear with assignments & gives a lot of work. Expected to read articles and submit a 2 pg paper on fieldwork observations before every class. Class is discussion lead by her for the full two hours. You are required 20 hours of fieldwork in total, so leave time in your schedule for that. Final is an 8 pg paper, presentation, & photobook

She listens well to students' needs. She is considerate when students express their situations. The two hours class is to reflect the readings and the required fieldwork each week. I do think she is fairly grading the assignments. Participation is very important in the class. She asks students to speak out more in the class.

The professor is very caring and hears students' needs. The topic is challenging yet lots of things to learn. Her grading is generous.

Teacher is super nice but she drags the class on like never before. For two whole hours she keeps repeating herself over and over again. Nothing is changed and no new topics are added. Gives unnecessary work and too much of it. She thinks she's is the only class you're taking and gives you loads of work to do. Don't take her.
