Reviews of professor Theresia de Vroom

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
When I was in this professor's class my Father (who had cancer) developed a sepsis infection and nearly died. When I approached her after spending a week in my hometown 3,000 away, she was completely unfeeling, and pressured me into dropping her class. At the time I obviously didn't have much to give, so I did. That's the kind of person she is.

Arbitrary- at first she kept waffling on what she wanted from our papers, then she gave us at least three different descriptions of what the final would be and randomly settles on a combination of two on the morning of the final. Loves the sound of her own voice, loves people to kiss up.

This class was an absolute nightmare. She speaks so fast that it's really hard to participate because you're so busy trying to get down everything she is saying.  She is so busy it feels like she doesn't have any time at all.  This was my worst grade at LMU because she is such a hard grader.

Dr. DeVroom is an outstanding educator with a passion for her subject matter. She is also very frank and will challenge the student if she feels the student is capable of more. If you are looking for a good grade without putting in the necessary work, you might want to look elsewhere. If you are looking to LEARN, Dr. DeVroom is excellent.

Energetic and fun professor.  DEFINATLY take her for Shakespeare, or else you will fail.

Talks SO fast...so much Shakespeare, not enough time.  I don't think I would take her again because she goes too quickly and expects you to know EVERYTHING for the midterm and the final--too much stuff to remember, not fair.

one of the worst teachers I've taken at LMU. I guess the people who like her also rave about John Reiley's classes! Awful. Tries for WEEKS to see her at office hours and she refused to see me or help me after I emailed her my problem.

One of the best classes that I've ever taken at LMU. Her knowledge of Shakespeare and literature in general is freakin' contagious; I gained a newfound appreciation for ol' Shakey through taking this course. Constant class participation will go a long way towards helping your grade out. Not the easiest course I've ever taken, however.

Best class I've taken at LMU.  She's tough but if you're looking for a real college English class, this is it.

Dr. De Vroom is hilarious, but youd never expect it. I was really intimidated at first and almost dropped but Im glad I didnt. She makes Shakespeare fun and interesting. I recommend getting the no fear Shakespeare books for each play you read. You dont need the textbook as long as you have a copy of the plays... cuts down 12 lbs - yes I checked
