Ingrid Satelmajer HNUH300 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 11/02/2024	Avoid taking HNUH300 with her at all costs. The other reviews may seem sympathetic towards her, however, her bias tends to leak heavily into the course content. It is indeed an easy class with plenty of time off which was the only redeeming quality of the class. I didn't find any of her quirks amusing and felt she was very unorganized and outright disrespectful when approaching students (or lack thereof). Take another professor for this course and save yourself the headache.
Ingrid Satelmajer HNUH300 Expecting an A Anonymous 05/31/2024	Something about Dr. Satelmajer rubs me the wrong way. She's a bit of a quirky individual, with a Ph.D. in English and a strong English teacher vibe. I felt that her background in English often seeped a little too far into the conduct of this course, which is supposed to be a capstone in the University Honors program. She sometimes expected us to be as passionate about certain things as she was, and graded some assignments a little harshly because we didn't think or construct it the way that she would have. Expectations weren't always clear. I wouldn't say I don't recommend her, because she's very kind and I could see that her quirks could be charming to others, but I personally did not find them that way. Regardless, she was very accommodating and available, and ultimately wanted all of us to succeed. The course is largely structured around taking on a project of your own, and I think this was structured pretty well. Also, about 50% of the class periods over the semester were cancelled because they simply weren't necessary and we were just working on our projects, which was really nice. I think other professors for Vantage Point would be a better experience, but she's not bad by any means.
Ingrid Satelmajer HHUM205 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/27/2022	Amazing class and professor! She made participation a part of the class grade and worked to create a discussion environment where everyone in the class shared stories and opinions. A large part of the class is discussion based, which I enjoyed. The other part centers around her providing background information on topics, which is interesting but lengthy. In terms of the work, there were sources to interact with for every class, reflection pop quizzes, short responses, a final project, and a field trip to D.C. (for extra credit). A lot of the class content centered around balancing the humanities and work, so if you are interested in exploring past of future artistic endeavors, then the class will let you do so.
Ingrid Satelmajer HHUM205 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/19/2022	Dr. Satelmajer talks a lot, so the full 75 minute lectures can get a little boring. Really passionate about what she teaches, and is always willing to talk to her students. Participation is factored into your grade so you definitely have to keep up with the assigned readings.
Ingrid Satelmajer HHUM205 Expecting an A+ Anonymous 12/19/2022	I loved Professor Satelmajer. At first, I was iffy and I just wasn't sure about the vibes I got from her, but she's really nice and you can tell she has a lot of experiences and knowledge that inform her teaching. She's passionate about what she teaches. She also takes care to notice and remember personal interests that are brought up in class. She does talk a lot sometimes though and she expects you to participate in discussions, complete readings before class, and do brief but thoughtful journal entries.
Ingrid Satelmajer HHUM205 Expecting an A Anonymous 11/15/2022	Satelmajer loves to talk and expects you to complete all the readings. She doesn't believe in giving students 100% on writing assignments, so if you're a perfectionist watch out. Attendance is required. Decent professor, kind human.
Ingrid Satelmajer HONR248J Expecting an A Anonymous 06/02/2020	Dr. Satelmajer is an extremely approachable and dedicated professor. She has high expectations for completing the readings and contributing to class discussions, but it definitely pushed me to become a better student and I appreciated the class content more because of it. She provides lots of opportunities for extra credit and it is not difficult to do well in her class if you put the effort in for the readings and few papers you need to write. I definitely recommend taking her class!
Ingrid Satelmajer HONR239B Expecting an A Anonymous 05/30/2020	Amazing professor who is passionate about what she teaches about. Very clear on coursework due and what is necessary for each writing assignment. Something is always due but the workload is certainly manageable. Second time taking her and it has been a great experience both times. Very forgiving and easy to talk to.
Ingrid Satelmajer HONR248J Expecting an A Anonymous 05/24/2020	Dr. Satelmajer was a good professor. She breaks this D.C based class up into three sections. The class grade is made up of three "section quizzes" based on the assigned readings, two short papers, and a final project, along with some small assignments here and there. She gives a lot of opportunities for extra credit, and if you do the work, you will get the grade you want. That being said, she expects high-quality writing on the papers in order to do well. Lets you redo one of them though. The workload is doable but noticeable. Cons: She tends to talk quite a bit. I did not find the material in this class interesting, and it was painful to sit through the 1-hour 15-minute monologue. Other than that, not a bad HONR seminar.
Ingrid Satelmajer HONR208P Expecting an A Anonymous 05/13/2020	Dr. Satelmajer is an amazing teacher. If you want to do well you'll have to do a lot of reading and a fair amount of writing, but it is 100% worth it. Assignment details are fuzzy sometimes, but she's super helpful over email or in person if you're confused. A joy to be in class with
Ingrid Satelmajer HONR239B Expecting an A- tomorrow 05/11/2018	Has high expectations but a great class to take. Some of the assignments' details were a bit fuzzy, but she was good about clarifying them in person and through email. Her style of discussion keeps students engaged and responding.
Ingrid Satelmajer HONR239B Expecting an A Anonymous 12/28/2014	I loved this class. As other have mentioned, it is not an easy A, but it is not extremely difficult either, if you find the subject interesting. We do read a lot, but it is a lot of novels spread across many days as well as short stores and poems. The class is very discussion based, which I found great especially for the more challenging and confusing texts. In addition to that, we had 3 papers, one of which is the final, and a journal. The key to the journal is to do more than what is expecting in order to get a good grade. The papers weren't too bad and she gives you good feedback and returns them in a timely manner. She is a very liberal teacher so I think your growth also contributes to your final grade. I definitely thought I would get a B+, and was surprised with an A. Overall, I love the books we read and I loved the class. It exposed to a lot of new ideas and knowledge. It was my favorite class this semester especially being a STEM major and getting away from that.
Ingrid Satelmajer Expecting an A GHolland 09/05/2012	This class was great! It's about contemporary art and ideas (modern art) with a focus on the arts in DC. Professor Satelmajer is a great teacher, and she breaks down the class into well organized and manageable sections. This makes the material easy to learn and retain. She is very good at communicating and is understanding to student concerns. There are homework readings and maybe a video or two to watch each week, but the workload is not bad at all. A lot of it is actually very interesting. Most of the readings are pre-assembled in a course packet that you buy at the beginning of the year, and I found it very convenient to annotate along in the packet as I read. This class requires you to go to 5 or more arts events of your choosing and to write brief critical responses on them relating to the course/packet material. I found the events to be awesome because they enlightened me to an art world that I didn't know about beforehand. There are class field trips that can count towards your events. The responses aren't long (~ 2 pages), but you have to write them well and relate directly to course concepts. At the end of the year, your final report must be ~ 4-10 pages instead of the usual ~ 2. I highly recommend this class and teacher. I had a great experience and am surprised by how much I retained about DC/contemporary art.
Ingrid Satelmajer ENGL313 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/25/2008	Professor Satelmajer is a lot of fun. She really enjoys what she's teaching and the reading selection was mostly really great. The class was really interesting. She tries to assign a doable amount of reading each night and usually it's not too bad. She does have random reading quizzes a lot though so make sure you're on top of the reading she does assign. She's also a pretty strict in grading papers- a lot of the class complained about it. She puts a great emphasis on detail from the reading and on originality of the argument. Her exams straightforward if you pay attention to what she emphasizes in class so make sure you take notes during her class. She also has some optional assignments that help at the end. She's really big on participation too and it really helps your grade! She's really passionate and always around to give help
Ingrid Satelmajer HONR239B Expecting a B Anonymous 12/14/2008	Definitely an interesting class, but there is a lot of work. We read 10 books, and little short stories as well. Not an easy A at all. There are basically 4 papers, one thats 3 pages, and the rest are about 1250 words. There is also a 10 min presentation at the end. A lot of work is piled on at the end of the semester so be prepared. Satelmajer gives a really interesting view of New York City.
Ingrid Satelmajer HONR239B Expecting a B fruitchaat 07/22/2008	This class was really enjoyable, but don't expect an easy A. Satelmajer is not an easy grader in terms of papers on analysis so you really have to write high quality papers in order to get the A. There are a lot of books you read, but she spaces them out so that you never have to read a lot during the week.
Ingrid Satelmajer Expecting a B anneymarie 11/09/2007	She's a great teacher who expects a lot. She required a lot of work (especially reading) but it was worth the effort and her class was full of interesting discussion. You won't get an easy A but it's definitely worth the time spent.
