Comment:
Professor Deb is the most inspirational professor UCF has. She truly cares about her students and this industry. Yes, there is a lot of work, but this course is for your personal benefit. She also makes her classroom a safe space for all students. I have never felt judged by her or the other students. She just radiates positive energy!

If theres one professor to change your life, its Professor Deb. She cares about her students success in classes and work more than anyone Ive ever taken. You learn a lot and she gives lots of information but helps you along the way. Huge partnered research paper and culture project. I miss this class already :(

Comment:
Professor Deb is great, with only a few minor flaws here and there. Overall, she cares more about her students than any other professor I have taken so far, even to the point that she gives the class her personal phone number in case they have any questions. My only complaint is the group project, which she provides mixed instructions on sometimes.

Professor Deb is fantastic for this intro class. She is so passionate about the subject and really cares about her students. Participation was a must and so was the textbook. Some effort is required to do well but if you do all of the assignments, including the extras, it's not a difficult class to pass.

Professor Deb is amazing! She cares about all her students and is respected! She will help you when you are struggling, answer all questions, and help you find job opportunities! The class is just reading the textbook, weekly quizzes, and a few exams! If you study hard everyday you should be fine! Take her if you like to learn, I learned a lot!

Quizzes due every week at before class instead of 11:59pm, they are very specific from the textbooks tiniest details or stuff she writes and they are timed 5 minutes for 5 questions. Online lectures are long n boring, she expects you to always have camera on and will call u out. Exams use proctor hub and are heavily based on textbook and lecture.

Comment:
She is the WORST professor I've ever had. I think she was drinking while teaching. You do a group project about cultures mine turned into a racist sterotype project because of her feedback on how she wanted me to do it. She put on a video instead of teachin so she could eat. At one point when I had covid she asked me to either put in effort or drop

I love her so much, her personality makes you enjoy her class so much! There is a small quiz due every week and zoom attendance is required. Her exams were a lil hard for me and I needed to study the textbook a lot. There is a big group project but it's not too hard. I recommend her, she's honestly so caring and genuine

Professor Deb is a great person to know. She will do everything she can to get you where you want to be. Yes, her classes are difficult and she makes you work for an A, but if you show her that you care about this information, she will keep you in mind for all opportunities. Big group project and hard final. Other than that, not an impossible class

Professor deb is extremely unorganized. She would add assignments out of nowhere. None of them on the syllabus. A group presentation that took over a month to finish that we not only had to present (75 mins) but have a 3-hour rehearsal outside of class. Yelled at my group the whole time. She does not give feedback. Dont let the high rating fool you

Do not let the positive ratings food you! Think back to some of your craziest teachers in middle school - in her class it's the exact same vibe. Completely disorganized class, no clear instructions for assignments and no rubrics. Your grade will be determined on whether she likes you so get on her good side. She can't handle being a professor!

Down to earth person, but such a bad online professor. Only take her in-person. Disorganized & unclear requirements for almost all her assignments. Good luck trying to text her because her responses almost never make sense. Proctored final, 75 min grp presentation, and so many assignments. She would make multiple assignments and have them due asap.

Professor deb is extremely unorganized. The way things are weighted are awful a quiz is weighted more than our final group project. Took me over a month to do my portion in the group project received a hundred on the assignment and grade only went up .4 I was very mad. She is a very nice professor but should not be rated this high at all.

Comment:
Professor Deb definitely cares about her students. She is extremely inconsistent assignments will pop up out of nowhere. The grading scale is unfair. A 10 question quiz is worth the same amount as our final project. Assignments are not clear, very confusing. Not a fan, would not recommend taking any of her courses.

Professor Deb is a nice person and the lectures are fine. It's everything else. Her assignments often make zero sense and have unclear rules. She had us do a 75 minute presentation. 75 minutes. And just never explained what we were supposed to do and never answered my group's questions. The tests had mistakes and confusing questions. Overall, bad.

Professor Deb is my favorite professor I have ever taken. She is one of the few professors who truly cares about her students. Her class is hard but all the work is worth it. It got me hired by my dream company after the first interview. She kicks your butt then celebrates with you. Truly a beautiful human.

Horrible professor. 0/10. A 1000 level class should not be this difficult because the professor doesn't grade consistently. I've never had so much issue trying to talk with a professor. I've never found it so hard to share my opinion or ask more questions. Ive also never been asked my opinion and been told it was wrong because "I don't like that"

Professor Deb is awful. I would NEVER suggest her to anyone or ever take her again. She's talks down at her students and has extreme inconsistency in grading. She requires mandatory class online during the middle of the pandemic and its mid-day for two hours. She told us that if we had a job or were busy during class, we should just drop. AWFUL.

I found Professor Deb to be condescending and disorganized. Her grading reqs were unclear and constantly changing even on the research paper which was worth 20% of your grade. No intro class should have a 15+ page paper with strict grading in 6 weeks. She said herself if you have another class or job you should take another professor. Never. Again.

Comment:
Do not take this professor. My worst experience at UCF thus far, she pretends to care and then disrespects her students by requiring attendance for an online class and grading extremely harsh. Most unreasonable professor I've ever had. Save your grade!! I had a 4.0 GPA before this class! Get out while you can.
