Reviews of professor Josephine Dawuni

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
DO NOT EVER TAKE ANY CLASS THAT SHE TEACHES I am certain she wrote the positive reviews herself. The course material is stimulating but she is just a terrible instructor and person. She expects students to teach themselves. If they are lost she chastises them, makes fun, & grades hard. Very rude, avoid her at ALL costs. Worst professor ever.

This had to be the worst class ever. This lady is so mean spirited that its ridiculous. She knows about the lesson she teaches, however, it's her delivery and approach that makes it go awry. She is not respectful of students and is very hard. Test count too much in this class also. Don't take this class with her unless she's the last option.

I had her for Introduction to Poli Sci and she assumed that we all had background knowledge on most of things taught. She is knowledgeable and tries to explain if there is confusion. I would not recommend if you do not like to write because there are weekly journals. Her tests were very hard.

She knows what she's talking about but her approach did not work for me. She expected us to teach ourselves everything from the text and then use it to discuss these abstract concepts she made up in class. It just made it more confusing and it also didnt help that she purposely humiliated students by cold calling and was unavailable out of class..

You can tell that she is very knowledgeable about the topics discussed in class however her approach is awful. She intimidates students who need more explanation by threatening their grades and questioning their commitment. She is the type to answer a question with a question. The only information I retained from this class was of my own volition.

She was not here for about a month but yet has all these expectations of our class like she has been here the whole time. You can't tell her anything. She thinks it's her way or the high way. This has been the worst teacher at Howard. I had to fight for my grade.

I loved Dr. Dawuni's teaching style, she is not an old school "lecture in front of a board" professor her style very much relies on class participation. This means you have to do the readings in a timely manner. What you give is what you get, everything you need to know is on the syllabus so print out a copy and get familiar with it.

Dr. Dawuni is fair and grades you on your effort objectively. It is not hard to get an A on her class, but you have to be open to learning. She teaches you to be responsible and accountable. She remembers each student and helps each grow individually. She cares about the material she teaches and makes sure that you learn it too. Her, I recommend.
