Reviews of professor Daisy Raphael

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I liked WGS 102, and I do believe the content is very interesting. Daisy was not very involved in the course, and if you like to do things completely on your own, this might be for you. If you require more guidance and like to ask questions, you might find this class difficult. She is slow with everything, including grades.

Daisy seemed very nice but rarely followed through on what she said. She made it clear that she was willing to accommodate, but her unresponsiveness said the opposite. Upon receiving the prompt for our final (Dec 7), she said that she would release a rubric by the evening of the 8th - we got it on the evening of the 13 (24 hours before it was due)

No accountability or diligence. Extremely slow grader & doesn't respond to emails. Lectures and assignments were frequently posted over a week late. Not willing to accommodate student needs (while forcing students to accommodate her). Luckily the course content and assignments weren't too difficult, but I would avoid classes w/ Daisy (if possible).

Daisy is a kind person, but not a great instructor. 70% of our grade was due in the last 5 weeks, 55% of that in 2 days, one mark was back by then. no rubrics are provided for assignments & she marks at a much higher level than a second-year class. PhD candidates should not be instructors. she was nonunderstanding of students not having enough time

Really caring and kind instructor. Course content was interesting and insightful. There are many graded components to this course so there are a lot of chances to approve your grade. Graded on a presentation, dossier assignments, discussion and a final paper. None are too difficult and all improved my writing skills.
