Reviews of professor Deborah Byrd

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Byrd is an interesting case. She's a nice woman, and seems to know her stuff, but she is awfully disorganized. Her expectations were all over the place for bigger assignments, causing immense stress and confusion to myself and other peers. Readings are interesting enough, but she rambles a lot and asks disjointed, rhetorical questions a lot.

Cancels classes. Nice but disorganized and never available.

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
a nice lady but not great when it comes to clear expectations for assignments, so niceness can't cut it for that. also surprisingly tough at grading, has her own ideas and expectations but doesn't outline them at all prior. not fun for you as the student. it's a req for the english major, so it's okay, but wouldn't voluntarily take a class with her

Sweetest woman ever& cancels class a lot. You don't really have to read to participate, you can look analyses up online & be fine. There is usually one group project & then a midterm & final, which she grades surprisingly harshly, so be sure to put more effort into that. Overall, taken 2 classes with her and recommend- cute& makes me laugh.
