Reviews of professor Natalia Dame

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Dame is so sweet! I wasn't very excited for Modern Russian Culture but she made it interesting and approachable. She is super understanding if you miss an assignment and is a very forgiving grader (Almost everyone gets an A). There is a LOT of reading for this course and while most of the books are on spark notes, not all are.

Wonderful professor! She gives great feedback, has well-structured classes, and extends deadlines if she sees good effort! A lot of reading, but it is a breeze. Material about Russian history is interesting and lectures are fun and engaging! Quizzes are take-home and not that hard! Definitely one of the best GESMs out there!

Great professor, super nice. Will extend deadlines, gives extensive feedback, and lays out very clear grading parameters. Tons of reading and films, but definitely doable. The papers were pretty easy. Quizzes, Test, Final all online.

Great professor! Gives excellent feedback and allows you to correct your work to get the missing points. The discussions are exciting, and you can see that she truly has a passion for this subject. Be prepared for a lot of reading and quiz/reflection papers almost every week. There is no midterm, instead an interpretive essay. End = Final + Project

So this class has a lot of books, you gotta read some but heyo boyo, even if you don't Dame's cool, listen, her class was was one of the most enjoyable, she evidently loves her job, and it helps you in loving her class. Spot on brother. Seriously though take it if you're interested in Russia at all, it's worth it for your time.

Although the course itself was pretty boring and brutal with the 8 am, she is a complete dawg who really cares about the course and is extremely lenient about due dates. I was taking this class while pledging and she gave me plenty of extensions which actually saved my life.

She is one of the nicest professors at USC. She is so caring and sweet. She is willing to give you extensions if you need it. She lets you re submit your assignments for a better grade. There are quite a lot of reading but you do discuss it in class so you can understand the main part of the book without reading. But it is better if you read it.

Dr. Dame is truly one of the best educators I have ever had the privilege of studying under. Her passion for literature and history shines and is reflected in how dynamic, engaging, and captivating every lesson is. Dr. Dame is remarkably kind, caring, and works tirelessly to provide constructive and complimentary feedback. Highly Recommend!
