Reviews of professor A.M. Darke

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
No reason to show up to class, the professor was very inspirational and boring. The lecture was always off-topic from the material and made the major feel meaningless to study. Had this professor for multiple classes in the AGMP major. This professor is the sole reason I decided to change majors.

Would not recommend this professor in general due to lack of professionalism, real world understanding of the material, disrespectful treatment of students who do not align with her lens, and lack of experience outside of art academia. If possible avoid.

Before taking this class, I was excited! Darke seemed like someone who's blunt and no-nonsense. But blunt became "outright rude to everyone" and no-nonsense became "no willingness to listen". High pressure in this class due to poor coordination, heavy group-focused activities, and getting crap from Darke for not turning cam on (heard of dysphoria?)

Professor Darke was an amazing professor who has a passion for what she teaches. As a Freshman it was super awesome to have a professor who was understanding and modern and really cared about social issues in the school and world.

Quite possibly the worst teacher I've ever had. She's rude, disrespectful, not understanding, and am convinced she does NOT care about her students. Would not recommend this teacher to anyone.

Professor Darke is an amazing professor. Stellar lectures, regarding the topics covered, goes in-depth and make lectures interesting and informative. Homework is fair and won't be too much of a surprise. Taking this class online was fun, and the group projects involved are a ton of fun! A joy of a class to be sure.

When I saw a woman of color was teaching this class, I jumped at the chance to enroll. It was refreshing to be taught the history of something so white-male dominated through the eyes of someone who is also underrepresented because she actually brought to light the issues, contributions, and perspectives of queer folks, people of color, & others.

A.M. Darke is a very cool person, however I did not enjoy them as my professor. They are very chaotic and at times that fun, but when it comes to assignments, it becomes stressful. For example, they sprung on the assignment of "Master Hell Game Kitchen" with barely any explanation. There is no consistency and it creates unwanted stress.

Great lecturer and I enjoyed her lens on the history of digital games. Lecture was worth attending even though it wasn't required or on any tests. However, she changed the requirements on 2 out of the 3 assignments on me after I submitted them. I sent her an email about this and she did not fix it, and basically bullied me in class. Stay away.
