Reviews of professor Adriane Van Zwoll

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Out of all the social work professors I've had at Loyola, I would say that her class was the best structured. There are so many 2.5 hour classes in the program and I really appreciated how she mixed videos and really practical activities. I wish more professors did activities like she did.

I found Addie to be a great professor. She always replied quickly to emails, and was overall very accessible outside of class. A lot of class discussion and small group work which was nice. Could be a bit tougher on grading, but definitely not too bad. Ultimately, super kind prof I would recommend her!

3 papers and weekly forum posts. The class was discussion-based which at times it would've been nice to have a bit more lecture but overall good class. For each paper and some forum posts, she will provide feedback and will even accept rough drafts if help is needed. She is really nice and understanding too.

I really loved Addie's class. I took a 2.5 hour night class with her and it was a great blend of lecture and useful group activities. Addie was organized and we had three papers with the option of one re-write for the semester (including the final). She was kind and put together - ideal prof.

Professor Addie was good during class and has lots of experience and knowledge to share with students. The only issue is that she is an extremely hard grader when it comes to class papers. She grades down to the point of grammar errors and will even correct your citations, and reference list. I thought it was a SOWK class not English. Pretty good.

If you don't mind generalist classes, she is a decent professor. However, papers "appear" to have guidelines, but be prepared to overcite and take the rubric LITERALLY, then be given criticism to actually go beyond it. Tough grader- she grades them a letter lower than what you think you have accomplished. Attendance and participation are a must.
