Reviews of professor Monique Lyle

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Lyle is a knowledgeable and understanding professor always willing to help, and with fair expectations. She offers days of grace on papers, and as long as you do the readings and pay attention in class, the exams aren't bad. Be prepared for a decent amount of reading and to engage in class.

I would not ever take Professor Lyle again, and I would not recommend her to anyone! She does not grade any of your work. She does not tell you how your final grade is calculated. She also does not tell you when discussion posts are open (and they're not in the syllabus calendar) so you just have to check blackboard and hope you turn it in on time.

Asynchronous class, but still took months to grade the few things that were not automatically graded. Not an easy A, and no pre-recorded lectures.

Takes forever to grade. Rambling lectures - if you zone out for 10 mins, you'll have missed nothing. I came into this class excited to learn but was continually frustrated by her bad lectures & how she wasted 40 minutes of class having a discussion through the chat function and reading every single response aloud. Always behind in course material.

Professor Lyle was not a great professor. She seemed to let a student campaign to the students a ton during class time, and was not very reliable. We didn't get the syllabus until a couple of days before class, which made it pretty much impossible to get the textbook within the first month of class. Also was tough on tests and grades weren't shown.

Worst class I have ever taken. She grades extremely tough, never once have I walked out of a test thinking I aced it only to have almost failed it until I took Professor Lyle's class. Grades are out of 3 things, so basically put all your effort into a class that may not even be towards your major. Would not recommend.

Fairly easy grader if you do the work, but there is A LOT of work for a Poli 300 class. It consisted of two 5-page papers, 5 page-long hws that required heavy reading, and two exams which you could only get info for if you attend class and take notes on every word she says. Not a terribly hard grader if you do all the work, but take an easier class

Dr. Lyle does not know how to teach and only reads the slides. She does not grade assignments for months. It's the end of the semester, and I have no idea what my final grade will be. She also doesn't respond to emails. The tests are open book, but she grades them extremely difficult. Avoid this class if you can.
