Oludolapo Demuren HHUM205 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/10/2024	More like a 3.5. While the super positive reviews already listed here aren't inaccurate, they don't reflect my experience with this professor. I didn't feel like he connected a lot with his students, moreso latching on to random details about us and acting like that was our whole personality, and a lot of the class was focused on Dolapo's own personal interests rather than what might be most helpful for the students. I also don't necessarily think a lot of the content was actually related back to core themes of the class in any substantial way. It was not a hard class, but it didn't feel totally meaningful or worthwhile.

A lot of the content of the class was interesting and Dolapo clearly has a passion for creative writing, but that does not change how random the class felt at times and how out of nowhere some assignments could be. Overall a good class with fun elements like creating our own zines, just some minor things that frustrated me throughout the semester.

The class was thought provoking and got me to explore outside of the genres I'm usually in. He was so supportive and often would call people to stay at the end of class just to give them more specific compliments.

He is an amazing professor and knows the art of writing inside and out, but more-so he is exceptional at teaching writing in a way that everyone can benefit from and understand. I always felt like Dolapo genuinely cared about my writing and my success, while trusting that he wouldn't hold back on constructive feedback. His lessons are so fun and engaging: a mix of videos, stories, and interactive discussion. He always comes to class with a welcoming, genuine demeanor and truly listens to how his students are feeling. Like many other comments have said, I do not think I will forget having Dolapo as a professor and I can confidently say he has improved my knowledge of writing and my writing skills. 100% recommend.

Oludolapo Demuren ARHU298J Expecting an A+ Anonymous 07/25/2024	TAKE THE CLASS. take any class with professor Oludolapo. He has by far been my favorite professor at UMD. He cares about his students and is super understanding. His workload is manageable and his content truly makes a difference in what you're learning. I cant stress this enough, but take the class; you wont regret it.
Oludolapo Demuren ARHU298J Expecting a B Anonymous 07/25/2024	Professor Demuren is incredibly supportive and tries his hardest to make sure all of his students are doing alright if he noticed they had been struggling. I'm really happy to have had him as a teacher and I will remember Professor Demuren forever as a kind and supportive teacher.

Oludolapo Demuren ARHU318B Expecting an A Anonymous 05/29/2024	He is very kind and you can really tell he genuine cares about his students. He doesn't offer as much feedback as some of the other creative writing teachers, but it is still enough and he introduces you to a lot of really good short stories and short films.
Oludolapo Demuren ARHU298L Expecting an A Anonymous 12/07/2023	Most engaging professor I have ever had. I hope I am able to take more of his courses
Oludolapo Demuren ARHU298L Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/07/2023	Dolapo is a very kind teacher, you can tell he actually cares about his students success and about the material that he is teaching. He is not strict at all, and very understanding if something were to come up you just have to email him letting him know. He is very well spoken and his way of teaching isn't boring. I would definitely recommend taking this course with him.

Oludolapo Demuren ARHU298L Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/06/2023	Dolappo was truly one of the most genuine and caring instructors I have ever had. He truly cares about each and every single one of his students, and he proves this by being very accommodating with deadlines, understanding students' needs when discussing sensitive topics, and asking for the input of students on the course load, homework, projects, etc. He is truly passionate about what he does, and when someone is so passionate when teaching it makes the class fun, intriguing, and engaging. His course load is not much, but even when I was overloaded with work for other classes, Dolappo was completely understanding and gave me an extension without making me feel bad about asking at all. On top of all of this, Dolappo is essentially a trusted adult to all of his students. If I felt like I needed to talk to someone in person, and I couldn't go to my family, I would strongly consider going to Dolappo before even going to campus resources. Definitely take this course, you will meet an amazing man and learn a lot about yourself and new perspectives of the world while being engaged and getting a great grade so long as you participate and do your homework.
