Olutoyin Adeyemi ENGL395 Anonymous 12/22/2024	Hands down the worst professor I have had at UMD- I have never felt more miserable in a class and I never imagined an easy gen ed could go so poorly. Adeyemi taught the writing class for health professions but she had no background in anything health-related so she never understood students' topics correctly and was incredibly reductive while discussing them. She also has a huge chip on her shoulder and responds aggressively to students who point out her (frequent) mistakes or disagree with her on any topic. She never admits to not knowing something or making a mistake, and she frequently frames herself as the victim when students speak up for themselves in class. Adeyemi doesn't have a plan or make any of her own materials so the lectures are entirely a waste of time. She doesn't always stick to the syllabus and is very unclear and inconsistent when outlining her expectations so it feels like her requirements for each project change by the day (and often over the course of a single class). She also doesn't grade ANYTHING during the semester so you get 0 feedback and she assigns grades really harshly after the semester ends. I truly do not know how she landed this position given her qualifications. It feels like to this day, she's faking it till she makes it but at this rate I don't think she'll ever make it. If you don't believe the reviews here then you can find her even worse reviews on ratemyprofessor at her old institution (Bellevue). Overall I'd say stay far far away from any classes taught by Adeyemi-- take the class a different semester if she is your only choice because I promise you she is not worth it. You will not learn anything, you will feel frustrated while trying to figure out what she wants, and you will probably walk away with a bad grade in a course where pretty much every other student gets an A.
Olutoyin Adeyemi ENGL101 Expecting a B Anonymous 12/10/2024	Just a un helpful teacher. She discouraged questions, she had a lot of political bias during class discussion, and she acted like she was better than her students. Do not take this professor
Olutoyin Adeyemi ENGL101 Expecting a B Anonymous 12/10/2024	Bad teacher, thinks she is a saint and better than her students. Ignores the syllabus and doesn’t grade on time for feedback or essay improvement. DON’T TAKE THIS PROFESSOR
Olutoyin Adeyemi Expecting a B+ Anonymous 11/17/2024	Professor Adeyemi is a passionate and helpful instructor. Her feedback is detailed and has really improved my writing. The workload can be a bit much, but if you stay on top of it you’ll learn a lot. I’m expecting a B, and I feel like I’ve grown as a writer.
Olutoyin Adeyemi ENGL101 Expecting an A Anonymous 11/08/2024	Discouraged from asking questions. I’ve never had such an unhelpful teacher. If you have questions, go to the writing center instead because she will offer no assistance and make you feel bad for having one.
