Reviews of professor Aminata Diop

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Great class. Almost purely discussion. Prof Diop stays out of it when she should, but makes sure to guide the discussion. I had lots of thoughtful discussions in this class. Good bit of work too, especially because it was a summer session. But not a hard grader. Would take any class again with her.

Professor Diop is amazing! She's so fair and inspirational. This course does require reading (but nothing over the top) and all the readings are interesting. I would definitely sign up for her class.

Dr. Diop is very understanding and knowledgeable of culture and her class is a thinktank of amazing ideas and relevant discussions. You won't regret taking this class. Think about culturally responsive teaching and this class embodies that. It has all the elements that help teachers to be fierce leaders in urban classrooms.

Synopsis: worst professor the 5 of us have ever had. Don't even consider enrolling unless you're a masochist. Positives: Excellent selection of articles. Negatives: She doesn't teach, just provides a tedious hour-long review. Threatens you like schoolchildren if you turn off your camera. Feedback is superficial. Grueling 5-hour online sessions

Professor Diop is the most committed, caring and driven teacher I've ever encountered. I've never learnt more or felt more enriched when taking a class. She works very hard for her students and is passionate about making education work in a remote setting. Group projects are worth a lot and she expects everyone to be an adult, but it's worth it.

Not sure if the online module contributed to the amount of group work but there was LOTS of group work. Overall she's a great professor who cares about her students. You will need to work for your grade, but she is also a very understanding no bs kind of teacher. There was a lot of reading and lecturing. I would take her again if I had to.

What an amazing professor. If you do your assignments and read the material you will pass. She's amazing knowledgable and relatable. She is available outside of class which is so important She is a quick responder she really wants all her students to do well. I'm glad I took her class.

THIS PROFESSOR IS AMAZING. No worries! Her way of teaching is fun. It made taking the train at night worth it. Huge syllabus but has every single detail. Everything she expects is in the syllabus. She is definitely someone who cares and is always readily available to jump on a call or text! I feel like a better person because of this class

Professor Diop is truly amazing and inspirational. Her course has been one of the best that Ive taken in my graduate school career. The winter course is a lot of work and you have to make sure that you can commit to that, but the amazing conversations during class is all worth it. She is very knowledgeable. AMAZING OVERALL!
