this class is boring. Everyone looks like they want to fall asleep during class! all it is is power points and facts anyone can look up! the group project was a bit much especially in the given time. she expects you to get in touch with a CEO of an organization when employees cant even do that! however boring it wasnt that hard if you actually studied or learned on your own. |

Dinwiddie was an OK teacher. SOmetimes her lectures were engaging, other times they weren't. When talking about statistics and stuff like that, you can tell she knew what she was talking about. Alot of other times during lectures, I found her hard to understand because every other word was (ummm, uhh, umm, uhh, umm, uhh) so yea pretty boring. The only good thing is that she posts all lectures online so you don't even need to go to class.. However, the books she requires you to read in class aren't ideal. She expects us to read an entire 200 some page book in a week, like we don't have other classes. Books are a waste of money. Also, we have to read these 20 page small print readings online. pointless again. Easy class though. TA's are what make the class easier. Erika Thompson was a great TA. But it's about 5 papers and a midterm and exam and that's it. Easy diversity/political history credit. |

she is a TERRIBLE lecturer. some of her points are interesting, but they are often lost along the way. she is also a difficult grader, and chooses clear favorites. mostly, i would avoid this class so that you don't have to sit through her attendance mandated lectures. discussion once every two weeks can be interesting, but watch out if she disagrees with you. |

Wow. The way this class was executed was atrocious. Dinwiddie is very knowledgeable but teaching and lecturing is not her strong points. The class was extremely unorganized and there was not a constant way she would assign assignments and papers. For example, sometimes assignments was given to us via email. Other times it's embedded in a powerpoint. Other times, word of mouth. The review session for the final was announced LESS THAN 22 HOURS from the time it was to be held! SERIOUSLY? I have a busy life and most professors respect that. Not in AASP100. They assume this class is the only class we are taking or something. Terrible, skip this class and take something else to fulfill your CORE requirements. I suggest a SOCY or ANTH class. Forget this one. Please, for your own sake, don't take it. |

She was the worst- very hard to understand in lecture and bad at engaging with the class. Lecture thinned to almost 1/4 of the total by the 3rd week. Gave little to no assistance with midterm review. Without the TAs, I dont know what I would have done. Made some very ignorant, opinion base remarks in lecture as well. Only take if you are interested in doing a lot of reading and learning almost nothing in lecture |
