Reviews of professor Lauren Vachon

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Lauren Vachon is one of the nicest professors I've ever met. She's also a wonderful lecturer and easily accessable outside of class. She will help if you're having problems with coursework and gives great feedback on assignments. I have taken almost every availble class that she's taught in the past 4 years and I would highly reccomend taking one.

She is probably the sweetest person you will ever meet, if you are thinking about taking a LGBT+ studies class, take it with her, you won't regret it. Her class is easy and if you are willing to learn what she is presenting to you, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Queer theory is confusing, but with her group discussion - you'll be good.

While this professor is a sweetheart, DO NOT take their class online. We didn't receive any grades after the 3rd week until finals week. The students had a group chat where we taught and lead ourselves through the class. With no feedback and little to no communication throughout the course, it was hard to know what we were doing right and wrong.

Lauren is one of my favorite professors! I have had multiple classes with her. There is a usually a lot of reading because the lessons are discussion based. Overall she is knowledgeable about what she teaches and genuinely cares about her students. This class has a research assignment that is kinda hard but she helps you through the whole process.

Amazing instructor! Not a super fast grader but is really communicative and she gives her students a lot of freedom to engage with the course materials in class.

I loved Lauren's class! The group you're with matters - there's a lot of discussion - but the material is fascinating and talking about it was fun. Lauren is very understanding that everyone comes from a different academic background and circumstances outside of her class, too. Not a grade to worry about, and the final can be about any LGBTQ topic!

She was completely disengaged as a professor, even for an online course. We did not receive a single email from her and she posted on blackboard once or twice. She put grades in once during the semester for the first four weeks of class and then waited to grade everything else until the end of the semester so we didn't receive much feedback.

One of my favorite professors. Only had a couple assignments, no exams, final project was fun, she has interesting stories. Pretty occupied because I think she is teaching almost all of the LGBTQ studies. I feel safe in her classroom. Definitely read or skim through the material because that is what you talk about during class.

Never answers emails and has no open lines of communication with students. Never grades anything even a day before grades were due majority of assignments were ungraded. Gives no feedback yet requires students to complete assignments based on feedback provided.
