Reviews of professor Yvonne Hammond

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Hammonds classes were some of my favorite at Rowan. We actually got to discuss the material we read and werent expected to sit through lectures no one cared about. She gives you room to develop your own ideas while working within her guidelines. If you have posses any critical thinking skills, youll do great in her classes.

Professor Hammond is one of the best professors I've ever had. I took her Multiethnic Literature in the US class, course code ENGL 02218. She is so incredibly easy to talk to and completely understanding. In class discussions were fun and comfortable. She was understanding about deadlines, and gave extremely clear instructions on assignments.

Dr. Hammond has her students do pointless group work every class and then doesn't understand why no one does well on exams. She is the worst professor I've had. Dr. Hammond does not teach, she relies on us to talk within groups and then just hopes that we understand what we read. I went to an extra review day she offered and it still did not help.

Dr. Hammond is one of the most engaging English professors I've ever met. Her class can be difficult at times but it is a lot of fun if you put in the work. She makes books affordable for students and gives a lot of background to the literature. She clearly cares about the students and wants them to do their best

Dr. Hammond was incredibly flexible with her classes this semester after the school got closed, and she really wants her students to succeed. If you do the readings and try your best she will appreciate the effort and try to help you as much as she can. One of the best professors I've met at Rowan

Hated this class so much that I withdrew. She has very high expectations and gives you alot of work. Don't expect to have a life outside of this class.

Dr. Hammond really makes the material interesting and relatable. She does have high expectations and expects her students to think critically. Since her expectations are high, she grades like it. If you try your best and communicate with her she'll work with you. There are a lot of readings so there's no room for slacking in this class.

I took this class online and it was not well set up. She forgot the class started 1 week into term and which is why the course was not available on canvas. Although she extended the work for  a week, We had to finish that weeks work and the previous weeks work in a week. She takes about 3-4 days to reply to your email. Online class not recommended.

Do. Not. Take. Intro to American Lit. You'll be asked to interpret many abstract poems and readings that make no sense to the average person. You must interpret them the EXACT way she wants you to otherwise you'll get a bad grade. Not to mention she's not fast at all when it comes to replying to emails.
