She is super helpful and understanding. Ive taken a couple classes with her and she is always passionate about what she talks about so it really makes the class more exciting.

Professor deVries assigns many readings every week but goes over them in class for comprehension. You are not tested ever on any readings. There are 2 essays and 2 presentations the whole semester with a lot of time to complete. If you ask for a small extension she is likely to give it to you; she is very nice and passionate about what she teaches.

Karen is a very nice professor who is passionate about what she teaches. Attendance is mandatory. Expect lots of reading. The grades are for high point assignments. I needed this class to meet requirements to graduate, so this is a good option.

I fear the people calling her biased did not even pay attention in class. The literature presented is open-ended, and she never tells you what to think. If, while taking this class, you end up feeling personally attacked by what she says, that may be more on you than her. If you are capable of having an open mind (legitimately), it's an eye-opener.

Makes lecture entertaining

One of my favorite professors at UCCS! When classes went fully remote because of COVID she was so understanding and gave us a lot of leniency, which is more than I can say for a lot of professors. Relatively easy grader, a lot of reading and the class is discussion based but I enjoyed it.

Dr. Devries is awesome. Great content in her ethics class, treats all students with kindness, respects people's opinions, and she's always dedicated to the work! Some reading is difficult but she always explains it in lecture very well.
