I took prof walters for a class that had never been done before at stony brook. Prof walters and her teaching partner prof levy did an awesome job teaching the class. She was a very fair grader and gave good feedback. I loved her personality, she helped ease the awkwardness of the zoom/online format!

Comment:
Honestly, everyone grading this professor either really really likes her or hates her guts. I am going to try to grade her as fairly as possible. Is she a great professor? Yes. Will she cut you some slack? No. However, she is FAIR. If you are taking this class to pass as an easy A, umm, No. Do I think its a great class nonetheless? Absolutely.

Dr. Walter's is one of the best professors I've had at Stony Brook. She's knowledgeable of all of the books, and allows you great insight to the assigned literature. SHE IS VERY FAIR. Grades are not given but rather EARNED. I participated, had good attendance, and had great papers so I did well. If you are not clear about material, go to her hours.

Comment:
Cares more about clarifying her idiosyncrasies to the class than the material. Reflects poorly on female educators in general bc she is desperate to wield authority over others, even though she is obviously too lazy to do any real teaching. If you have a good GPA, do not take this class. She will grade you on how she likes you, not on your ability

She assigns interesting but very upsetting books. There's a short paper (5-7 pgs) w/ a presentation, 2 hw assignments (3 pgs and 1 pg), long paper (8-10 pgs), and 1 midterm. The midterm was somewhat ridiculous since she asked very specific details but overall, great professor

Attendence in class is mandatory. Although she may seem extremely intimidating at first, shes actually very nice and caring for her students. Shes also a very fair grader. 2 essays and 1 final in the class (Although, she said she wont be giving a final next year). I got an A- in the class and i didnt know much about African Culture going in.

She can be a little intimidating sometimes, but she's great. The classes are easy. 3 homework assignments and a final. no midterm, no quizzes, no surprise homeworks. Sometimes class is a little boring, but overall its pretty good. I'm trying to take another one of her classes in the fall.

She is so much fun. Very energetic and can engage her students like no other professor I have had. If you do the work, you will love this class. I definitely recommend taking her class and will definitely be taking more of her classes myself.

I think its very interesting that a lot of people are complaining about grades. I did everything I needed to do and got the A, so I wonder why people are so unhappy. Maybe they just didn't do as well as they thought they were going to do. Either way, she is great and I recommend her. Just don't expect to get by without putting in the work.

She's pretty funny at times but it doesn't make up for her poor grading of students. A lot of reading from books that are somewhat interesting, gives back papers with grades that you will probably disagree with. I'm a good writer according to professors in my other writing classes (All As) but she gives me questionable grades on papers. Don't take.

Sometimes when she returns your papers, you would be surprised of the grades that you get. I don't think she grades fairly either. I worked hard in that class. I read all the materials before class even though many students aren't even close to finishing the reading materials. Yet, these students get A's on their papers? Don't take her class.

The amount of work you put into for this class just doesn't add up for the grade she gives you. She doesn't grade you fairly.

She's really cool and funny. But I really don't understand the way she grades papers. I see students who have 2.x GPAs get A on their papers and see B on mine. Also, the class is a lot of work (reading) but the amount of effort you put into the class isn't proportional to your grade- well, at least for me. There goes my 3.9 GPA :(. Frustrating!

I love Dr. Walters-she was one of the best prof. I ever took at SBU.Lots of readings, a couple of papers,one oral presentation-no final.Easy A. Go to class (she knows who's there & who's not) even though she's not strict on attendance.Do the readings & most of all,when she discusses the readings in class write down her every word. It will help you.
