Reviews of professor Kerima Lewis

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
For an online class in the summer she was tough. Discussions are usually used to communicate with peers like you would in a classroom, however, she used them more as reading checks. While she gave EXTENSIVE feedback, I felt as though it was not helpful because if we tried to put any personality into the post, we would not get full credit.

Lots of books to buy, a lot of reading for a film student. The class is informative I guess but also boring. Weekly readings of chapters with questions you have to answer at the end online. She thinks she funny but can be annoying at times. If you just show up and sit down you'll get through it. There are worse classes, but also better classes.

Professor Lewis has so many bad reviews which doesn't make any sense to me. Yes she's a tough grader, but  all the bad reviews are really throwing me off. Her lectures are really interesting and you learn so much detailed information about African American history in this course. ((Also the homework doesn't take long and the exams are open note))

Delivers valuable information about tests and papers through paper handouts. Weekly homework assignments, along with reading assignments of novels that won't gel well with your classwork in other classes. Doesn't upload lectures. Calls on you randomly in class, so you have to pay attention. Not the worst teacher, but not great by any means.

Most of the readings for class are unnecessary and feel like busywork. The only thing you really need for the online class is to be able to sit through her long and tedious lectures (which were so slow that speeding up the video is the only way to manage)

I feel as if Kerima just hasn't really caught up with the times. She assigns an unnecessary amount of work and doesn't like when you use internet sources for papers. She also assigns novels in addition to you weekly text book reading, which is just way too much, if you're working on any outside of class work. She did decide to cancel our final tho.

Kerima is rather mean. She will single people out in mandatory class discussions and make snarky remarks if you can't answer the way she wants you to. She posts a discussion post every week and if you are late for any assignment at all it will not be accepted. She's also dreadfully boring. It felt like we were in the same unit the whole semester.
