Extremely rewarding class and Professor Lieder is extremely knowledgeable on the content of the course. The course is definitely not for everyone, as we discuss socially stigmatized topics. However, I found the course to be very interesting and relative to the social aspect of UMD. This class allowed me to alter the way I look at and approach certain topics and provided me with skills that will be useful for other classes. Professor Lieder is a very understanding Professor who looks out for her students and constantly asks for student feedback on the course. |

I had them for HNUH100, and I HATED their class. They are passive-aggressive and hypocritical. They would constantly complain about how late our class was, but if we said something or if we looked tired they would go on a rant about how we were honors students, so we should be better. They demeaned us and made comments about how we were in college now and needed to act more maturely when they would constantly go on weird rants. They also added extra assignments to the HNUH100 curriculum after complaining about the original curriculum, and saying they had no control over what we were taught. They took grading for a one-credit course way too seriously. We had an assignment to make an online portfolio. They gave absolutely 0 directions, and the average class score was 15/25 because people didn't include enough projects, but in class, she never said that we had to include projects, and there was nothing on the rubric either. Avoid their class at all costs!! |

Highly recommend you choose another professor. She makes you do triple the work compared to other HNUH300 professors. She is passive aggressive and very serious about what is supposed to be a gateway course. The class goes by painfully slow and it's only 50 minutes. Choose another professor if you can. |

In the 45 minutes or so that she was co-teaching my section, she talked about how the world map (the Mercator projection, though I'm not sure she knew that there are other projections) was essentially racist and colonialist because Europe appears larger than it really is relative to Africa. The Mercator projection is obtained by placing a cylinder around a globe with a light in it, and taking the shadow that it projects onto the cylinder. It preserves angles well, and that's why it's the most common projection. Very racist. There are at least two other reasons the map could be considered colonialist--the map is Europe-centric, of course--but she immediately went to the one thing that made no sense. Why was she talking about this in a HNUH100 section, you may ask? I haven't a clue. "Don't you love it when your white cis hetero friends stick up for you?" Umm, sure, generally speaking I like it when anybody sticks up for me. Weird question. I'm going to give her the benefit of the doubt and give her 3 stars instead of 1, considering that I didn't actually have her section. My friend did, and he did not like it. |

If you have to take her for Gateway seminar, you might as well drop UH. She takes the garbage curriculum very seriously and I have never met anyone as passive aggressive. She doesn't respond to canvas comments. I had her in the evening and she constantly complained about the timing of the class, saying she wanted to go home. I said something similar in an assignment, and received a zero and had to meet with her. In the meeting she went off about how I need to have more respect for the course. For reference, there was an assignment where we watched a documentary on Renaissance era nude paintings, posted photos of ourselves on a discussion board, and had to analyze 2 of our classmates photos. It was a very strange assignment and from what I know, other Gateway instructors didn't assign it to their sections. |

Dr. Kat is for the most part nice; however, they can be extremely passive aggressive at times. Moreover, they were not extremely sympathetic to circumstances of the class: they are teaching HNUH100- a 1 credit course-, and expected us to put in the same amount energy that we would for a major-related course. It also seemed for that they didn't understand that we take like 5 other classes. While they can be nice, I personally don't know if I would recommend taking class with them. Maybe if you like theatre and have more in common with them then yes. |
