Reviews of professor Anne Hewitt

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I love Prof. Hewitt! I would take her again. Lots of reading, but she goes through the main events and their significance in class. Engaging class even if you're not interested in the subject. Discussion-based class so participate, it's very welcoming. Prof leads the discussion with questions but lets you draw your own conclusions and add input.

One of my favourite professors at NYU. She may give you a lot of reading and her grading on papers may be a bit harsh, but she is really caring and understanding, giving you chances to improve your grades. She also cares a lot about class participation so in-class discussions are usually well-led and attract students' attention.

If you're looking for an engaging and interesting global philosophy and socratic seminar styled classes, this is the class for you. However, if you don't like participating, she is very flexible and understanding but will still encourage you to speak. The only down side is the essays were pretty difficult to understand and write.

I adore Hewitt. I took her for SF1 and then sought her out for SF2. The readings for both classes were interesting, occasionally dense but never unmanageable. She is extremely kind + understanding so long as you communicate with her. Papers aren't difficult & she's always available to talk over issues. Classes are discussion based, but she guides.

She is one of the best professors at NYU. Class requires participation but she's understanding if you don't speak often. Just paying attention in class is enough to do well on her exams.
