Reviews of professor Emily Datskou

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Datskou is probably one of the best professors I've had here at Loyola. She is super passionate about her classes and I found it very easy to participate and engage with the class. While there is quite of bit of reading to do outside of class, it was very manageable. You have quizzes a lot before each class but they're very easy.

Very nice professor. She has quizzes everyday but drops the lowest quiz grade at the end of the semester. She assigns 5 papers. 4 have to be 3 pages and one is 6 pages. It's a lot but as long as you meet the basic criteria and formulate a solid argument it's not so bad. Quizzes are easy.

Very nice professor but that final was absolutely awful. 2 hours straight of writing and half of the class still wasn't even finished. She had us defining what a soliloquy was.

Professor Datskou is very passionate and an engaging professor. Her classes are anything but boring. However, she is a VERY harsh grader and grades you relative to how the rest of your class performs. She is also not very accessible after class so you can't meet with her often. She is inflexible and does not account for personal problems.

Dr. Datskou was awesome. Quite literally just do the homework (short readings, will not take you more than 20 minutes). The lecture is literally just analyzing the readings and there was a quiz each class (incredibly simple). Couple of essays which weren't too bad but those are what make up your grade.

Prof Datskou is lovely and it's clear that she cares a lot about her subject, but the workload was just too much for a 101 class.

I really like Prof. Datskou as a person. She is funny and nice and very passionate about what she does which I appreciate. For a UCWR class there was a lot going on all the time. There was a lot of homework which was fine but sometimes she would grade it unreasonably hard. Just low key nit picky. If you just do your work you'll be fine.

She is AMAZING, seriously one of the best English professors. She gives you the easiest chapter quizzes, 2 are dropped. I never read anything we had to and just used spark notes and did great. There are 3 essays and she allows you to get points back on the first one. She is super fun and really keeps you engaged. The final is open note open book.

Prof. Datskou is really great. She is super passionate and kind. She allows for paper drafts to be submitted for detailed and very helpful feedback. I was not so sure about the focus of the class, but she won me over with her enthusiasm for the works and open class discussions. I definitely would recommend her classes.
