Dorith Grant-Wisdom HONR268L Expecting a B+ sukhenkoy1990 05/25/2012	It might have just been the structure and nature of HONR268L, but I did not think that Professor Grant-Wisdom was a very good Professor. Her class consisted of discussions of the assigned reading in every class, as well as other pertinent concepts to the overall topic of immigration in the U.S. While the topic of the course was interesting, I did not think that the readings did much to further my knowledge and thinking on the concept. A big chunk of your grade is based on class participation and quizzes, so you have to make sure that you stay on top of all of the assigned readings (which can get extremely dry at times). Her grading on the op-ed papers appeared very arbitrary and it was very unclear on how to get an A in her class. While the grade distribution might suggest a high majority of students receiving As, it did not seem like this was the case. In fact, this class required the most work out of any class to just get a B+. I personally don't recommend taking this course with this professor.
Dorith Grant-Wisdom HONR268L Expecting an A- ashivkum 10/13/2011	She is an excellent professor, who spurs a lot of discussion in my Honors Seminar on US Immigration. We do disagree on political ideaology, I'm a staunch conservative, and she's a liberal, but when you express all of your views constructively, I don't see much of an issue. I am very passionate on such topics, and a plus for taking this class is that you naturally know a lot about current events, and that you keep up with international news. This class surprised me in terms of how many factors affect US Immigration.
