Reviews of professor Kit Belgum

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Somewhat passive aggressive and a unorganized. I think she can be well intentioned but isn't detail oriented or aware of what her students need. Will ignore your emails for days on end and then claim that she hasn't heard from you. Also has difficulty understanding what a disability accommodation letter entails...

Hands down the best professor I have had at UT so far. She is so passionate and funny in class. I learned so much in her class about German history and we spoke a ton in class, so participation is required. However, there are students of all levels in the class so there's no need to be intimidated. Light homework load and a couple essays. Not bad!

This class had a lot of homework. It was supposed to be 2 hours a night max, but usually took me about 2.5-4 depending on what it was; however, she made it clear to stop at 2 hours if you wanted. Very good grammar class and she was very kind and always made herself available. Easy to contact and very good teacher. Read the textbook chapters!

Prof. Belgum is a wonderful person! She really cares about her students grades and their feelings toward the class. There was a few essays but they weren't too hard. As long as you do the work, this class is a good choice to take for your UGS requirement.

She is passive agressive and not very acommodating. Her grading is inconsistent and it feels really subjective.

I took Belgum's UGS and it was alright There is A LOT of outside work. Tons of reading, and before each lecture we had to submit a journal entry to prove we read. So you can get through this class with minimal effort, however you will have to give up weekends to write the essays. All in all my TA, Julia, made the class easier, helped with my essays
