LATN102 Expecting a C+ Anonymous 04/29/2024 |
This is the worst professor I have ever had at UMD. I had taken Latin in high school, so the content was nothing new to me. However, I am lucky if I end with a C+ because her teaching and assignments are so misleading. She accused several of her students of cheating on homework despite giving us the answers for the assignments then saying that it was an "outside resource" and left us all with over 18 zeroes on assignments with only 4 weeks left in the semester. When I went to her office hours asking her to give me at least partial points back for work that I did that I could prove with the sufficient notes I took on the homework, she was unwavering in her decision and gave me a hard no. She also said that it was something she had found students to be doing in previous semesters, and that the only way to fix it would be to move the class from online to in-person. If this was a previous problem in other sections, 1) why wasn't the homework adjusted to be foolproof after the first incident? and 2) why must this section suffer as a result of inadequate and misleading directions on homework? As someone with a 3.7 GPA and this potentially being my only C I will ever get in college, I am disappointed and disgusted to say the least. DO NOT TAKE HER, her class took a severe toll on my mental health this semester. And to the Department of Classics, maybe take a look at these reviews and do. better. |

she is a hard grader, incredibly unorganized, gets lost in her thoughts, lowkey does not know how to teach, do not take her class, despite the interesting material she somehow found a way to make it the MOST BORING CLASS EVER |

She is a very hard grader and in class discussion, she does not accept any one else's ideas just her own. |

I withdrew from her course back in the fall of 2022. She called me lazy and stupid in an email when all I did was double check my answers in the back of the book. She suggested that I withdraw from the class because I am too dumb to "catch up from cheating". She threatened to give me an XF on my transcript if I did not drop the class even though all my advisors agreed I did not cheat. She is a terrible professor and I highly recommend never taking her. |

I dropped her class after she scheduled a zoom with me after our first assignment was due in a 101 level language class, basically called me mentally challenged, and suggested I take another language. It was a speaking assignment for a dead language that I've never spoken before and she assumed I was mentally challenged instead of learning a new language. do not take her class. |
