Reviews of professor Amaarah DeCuir

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
DeCuir is far by my favorite professor at AU. She made me realize how passionate I am about education. She gives great feedback, and is tough but that makes doing well in her class super pleasing. Took this as a gened and now Education is my major. Everyone respects her.

DeCuir is extremely passionate about education and it shines through her lectures (which flow depending on the class/questions from students). She is also open to feedback. She does not tell us how to think, letting us sort our ideas and opinions ourselves. She is a tougher grader but well worth it- smart, funny, and inspiring.

Lots of reading, but very interesting material. Participate in class. Go to community office hours! Final grade is 4 papers (4-6 pages each), participation, and bi-weekly quizzes. Quizzes aren't that hard--open note, mostly multiple choice, but do require reading. Super sweet woman. Always willing to accommodate.

One of my favorite professors! There is about an essay every month, which could sometimes be tiring, but she's very accessible when it comes to office hours. Class discussions are amazing if you participate, and she has great insight into the world of education as a whole.

A great professor with great insight into the world of urban education. Course is very lecture heavy, so you have to stay involved in discussion, which is fun anyway! Has one essay due every month, so it can get a little busy, but she's very accessible when it comes to office hours! Overall, one of my favorite's I've taken!

Dr. DeCuir is definitely a one of a kind teacher who pushes you to participate and really think deeply about the problems in America's public school system. I took this class as my complex problems and enjoyed the material we read and discussed a lot. She expects A LOT from her students in terms of participation and speaking up in class though.

Dr. DeCuir is probably the most wonderful professor at AU. She cares deeply about her students and wants to see you succeed. She is also extraordinarily passionate about collective liberation and intersectional justice through education.

If you take this class get ready to read a lot of articles, but they are all very interesting and help you write your papers. Although there is a lot of work I would 100% recomend this class to everyone. Loved it!

Dr. DeCuir is very kind and caring as a professor, though the work can be difficult and some assignments can be intimidating. I would recommend Dr. DeCuir though I would not take another course with her.
