Reviews of professor Lolita Samuel

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Samuel is very picky about what she wants on her discussion posts and on her papers. If you do her papers with the rubric she provides, you will pass. This course is only discussion posts and papers. She doesn't respond to emails that often. Overall for an online course, it was not bad but you have to have time management.

Amazing lectures, learned so much. Not a heavy workload at all one assignments per week and two papers for whole semester (summer). Read the book and you'll be fine super easy class! The professor is also pretty funny! And no test or quizzes!!!

People say shes mean but shes just honest. She is the most passionate history professor I have ever had and she makes the content interesting and engaging. The workload isn't bad just pay attention in class. I loved her class and I definitely recommend it!

Pros:
- Easy class with easy prompts for discussions/essays
Cons:
- She readily replies to genuine emails with snide remarks
- Your final grade is not evaluated by the syllabus-defined weights, but by a secret guideline only she knows
- You will have to go through the Chair of the Department of History if you want to resolve any dispute with her

She has a history of being rude to students but tbh I never really had a problem. However, the course is pretty scuffed if you try to take a step back and look at it. Lots of typos on Canvas, half the syllabus was inaccurate, she forgot to post a lot of things, and I don't even think she read my last paper lol. But, I got an easy A so yea.

Simply do not recommend taking her. Class structure is non existent and assignment details or instructions are not clear/ concise.

harsh to grading papers over the smallest things, often confuses class with posting stuff in other classes, and not fair to all.

I really didn't have any problems in this class. It was just 6 assignment including the final assignment. I thought it was easy, just writing, no finals, no tests. You can site inside the book, her discussion are extremely easy. I emailed her twice and she was never rude to me. Follow the rubric and do your assignment when due, you should be fine.

The class was note/lecture heavy. She is a passionate, straightforward, and honest teacher and is not mean. As long as you look at syllabus for the rubric of the assignments you will be okay. There are only 2 mini papers (3-5 pages), 4 discussions, and 1 final paper (5-7 pages). For the papers they are given 2 weeks beforehand which is enough time.

She is rude to students who didnt follow the instructions EXACTLY as she imagines it to be. She is unclear about how she writes the discussion and paper questions. You will have 2 mini papers and one final 5-7 page final. overall its pretty easy but shes just rude and confusing.
