Reviews of professor Amber Strother

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Dr. Strother was the worst teacher I've ever had. She was knowledgeable and engaging but not good at dealing with students. Her expectations for students weren't made clear, her grading system made little sense, and she didnt handle students' difficulties effectively. If all of your students are struggling the issue isnt with them but with you.

Shes not a good professor at all in all honesty. She doesnt give good feedback, shes unorganized, bad planner. Has no clue how to engage with students in a respectful or knowledgeable manner. She believes her way is the right way even when its clearly not. I can say I didnt learn anything that would benefit me from this course. All around fail

Really nice prof and makes her expectations very clear of what she expects out of you as a student. 4 essays and 1 final project that my entire class enjoyed. I recommend for a freshman level English.

Dr. Strother is one of the best English professors I've ever had. She used a labor-based grading system and graded FC, PC, or NC. She was clear about what the wanted from each assignment and as long as you put in the effort, you walked away with a good grade. She was passionate about what she did and didn't expect too much of the students.

Professor Strother is an amazing professor! The readings she chose for the class were interesting & fun to read, and there were a good amount of assignments in the class (not too little, not too much). Makes you work for your grade since she went by labor based grading. Also grades participation so you have to show up. I really recommend taking her

I don't know why the reviews on here are so bad. She has got to be one of my favorite teachers at Marquette and very approachable. Yeah the class is heavy on reading, but the stories were all interesting. If you put it in the work and ask questions you will almost definitely get a pretty good grade. It's pretty hard to not do well in her class.

Dr. Strother is one of my all-time favorite professors I've ever had. She is caring, kind, accommodating, funny, smart, and has one of the most amazing tattoos I've ever seen. She is so passionate about what she does and it is easily seen through her teaching. I highly recommend taking her class.

I have had her twice now and there isn't a bad thing to say about her. Her readings are interesting and make for good class discussion. She's engaging and fun; also really understanding and wants the best for her students. Do the readings/assignments, show up to class and you will be fine. She's an awesome person to get to know.

I tried to like Professor Strother, but just couldn't. She expects a lot when doing homework, but will not give you any feedback as to what you can fix. She is very unorganized, and changes assignments and due dates frequently. It's very hard to keep up in this class. Do not recommend.
