Reviews of professor Amy Desuza-Riehm

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
This class was so fun and Amy was a chill teacher. You answer a question for attendance every class. She offers many opportunities for extra credit like answering questions in class or responding to classmates on discussion posts. Loved her class!

Honestly, she is the perfect GE teacher!! She has almost no empathy to a point where she would take points off from your attendance even if you... idk got hit by a car... BUTTTTT you can always make up for it in the class by participating extra and replying to your classmates on discussion. Easy A. but lowk makes u work for it haha. She is cool tho

The professor was excellent and made the class very fun. In total there are discussion boards, 3 papers, 6 quizzes, and a final comic. Participation is part of your grade, but if you are too shy you can alternatively do the extra credit in the discussion board. Make sure for the final comic to not do it last minute!!!

In my opinion, she was a great professor. She is flexible with extensions and is always happy to help students. Her class is heavy reading and material, attendance is a big part of your grade, and she gives a lot of extra credit opportunities. I recommend her.

Not the easiest grader ever but favorable compared to my other teachers. A discussion post every week which takes about 20 minutes with the option of responding to people for extra credit. 2 essays, one very time consuming final, if you don't talk in class your grade will drop, participation matters. Lots of material which you must pay for.

The professor was okay. She never gives full points for anything because she "doesn't believe that something can be perfect."  The class consists of 2 papers and a final comic strip/book that you have to make for your final.   DISCLAIMER!!!!!! IF YOU DON'T LIKE COMIC BOOKS AND YOU NEED AN EASY CLASS THAT IS ENJOYABLE, DON'T TAKE THIS ONE!

She's a great professor and is super interesting to take a class with if you're into pop culture and nerdy things! You'll succeed easier if you are already a good writer, but she gives good feedback. Lots of extra credit opportunities through weekly discussion posts and in-person participation. Gives a quiz every two weeks or so that are simple.

You have weekly readings along with a discussion post and quiz about reading. We write 3 short 3-page essays and she's helpful if you reached out. Grading criteria are super clear and you can always earn extra credit either by speaking in class or adding to discussion posts. Reading fluctuates between heavy and super light.
