Out of the 8 years of online classes, she's by far been my best professor. 12/10 would recommend to anyone! She grades within a day or two, provides personal feedback and encouragement throughout the semester, is understanding, responds to emails super fast, is ORGANIZED, goes by the syllabus, posts plenty material, has a light workload. AMAZING!!!

This was one of the best professor I've experienced at UTA! All assignments had clear and direct instructions. There are a lot of assignments but it is manageable. There is enough assignments and extra credit to help you be succeed. The professor is very passionate, responds quickly, gives great feedback and grades quickly. Overall great Professor!

Very nice lady who gives detailed feed back. But I feel like she was doing way too much for an optional elective class. In total, the class had three 3-5 page papers all due a week after the one before, plus a discussion board every week. Heavy courseload for an elective class.

BEST professor at UTA hands down! Very passionate about the material and actually cares about students. Informative and engaging lecture videos with real examples. Super quick responses to emails. Helpful and detailed feedback on assignments. Goes above & beyond with resources and encouragement. Would highly recommend...My absolute favorite class!

Professor Magruder instructs one of the most interesting courses that I have taken, Environmental Justice (EJ)/Special Topics. This professor offers live speakers that are directly involved in EJ, just as she is. I promise that you will look at the environment with new eyes. I learned so much and you will as well. Give this class a try.

This professor is clearly devoted to the social work profession and to her students. She is very organized, responds promptly, is supportive, and gives great constructive feedback. Lessons are very applicable to real life situations. Detailed rubrics and clear assignment instructions. Gives opportunities for extra credit. Great experience!

This is the second course that I have taken with Professor Magruder (this one was an elective). She is organized, inspiring, helpful, and committed to her students. This course was interesting and thought-provoking. Highly recommend taking Environmental Justice & Green Social Work with her!

Professor Magruder was great, because of the Pandemic it was online. Even though it was online, her lectures were online and recorded. Shes lecture heavy, but its all great info. Her directions for the assignment (to me) were vague, I sent her a lot of emails due to confusion but she responded right away. Overall great professor, difficult course
