Reviews of professor Nicole Ivy

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Prof. Ivy is an extremely nice person and her class was incredibly lax. We only met about an hour a week. There were supposed to be hybrid lectures, but we ended up having only a few. The few things we were graded on were extremely direct and easy, with no confusing/trick questions. You'll get an A if you try on the very few assignments you have.

I wouldnt listen to the bad reviews. Took her class one semester and she is probably one if not THE best professor I have had in the amst dep and at GW overall. The lectures and class discussions are always interesting. She pushes her students to think about tough topics critically and truly cares about us learning. Brilliant and amazing prof

Easy, but boring class. Will probably get an A as long as you have a good TA. 8 online quizzes, but you can drop your lowest 3. Exams are easy but somewhat time-consuming. Overall recommend this course for anyone who needs an easy A or to cross off a university requirement.

Professor Ivys class was easy material-wise (10 quizzes, 3 exams), but she was generally disorganized and canceled live meetings (Blackboard) often and I found that her lectures couldve been more in-depth. The TA graded everything, and the discussions were interesting b/c of him. The class is an easy A, but not the most engaging.

Both the easiest and least rewarding class Ive taken at GW. On the rare occasion that lecture actually occurs, they end after 15-20 minutes. There was often only a few minutes notice for cancelling class. Exams are easy and straightforward, so take it for an easy A, but thats it.

Pretty simple class- weekly online quizzes with a midterm paper, final paper, and attendance/ discussion grade. Ivy was interesting and funny but the class could get boring. However, if you go to class and do the readings it's not bad.

Ivy is a sweet woman but one of the worst professors I have ever had. Grading took over a month, there was no clear grading criteria, and honestly, grade is fully dependent on your TA. I stopped going to lecture in the beginning of the year and my grade was fully based on my final. If you can handle a dry class go for it. But class is wasted time.

Professor Ivy is knowledgable and a really sweet person, but this class kind of stressed me out. Grade only really depends on your TA. I basically failed the midterm and almost withdrew the class, but the midterm grades ended up being dropped. I never got resposnses to my emails, either. A lot of potential and interesting material, though.
