Comment:
She is definitely the best option for a Latin professor and her class is probably the best option for fulfilling a P5 if it has to be a language. She's a fantastic professor who's very caring. Anything about her being a tough grader for English classes doesn't apply for Latin, and her tests are very straightforward.

I love Dr. Vanderbilt! She is an amazing prof. and person in general. Class is fun and engaging, and she makes long papers a breeze. She's a hard grader, but her advice is very helpful and she truly wants to help you improve. She's great, and laughs a lot! I know I am already a better writer after 1 class w/ her and I'd definitely take Dr. V again!

She was great! One of my first professors Freshman year at Fisher. Her humor is unique and took some time to adjust to, but she can be really fun. Hard grader but in a fair way. She just wants to push you harder.

I love Dr. Vanderbilt. She is a great professor and really cares about her students. I had her and she made a point to have everyone come in at least once to meet about their papers so she can give us feedback and make sure we were on the right track. She definitely has a passion for what she does. Take her whenever you can!

Deb is a great person and a great teacher. She gives a lot of work though, and you need to stay on top of it. Her office hours are extremely helpful on papers, but she can be difficult to comprehend sometimes.

Deb is a great professor. Even with differing personal views, she is very open and a good person. Great teacher of material, and be prepared to be involved. If you want a class to snooze though, don't take this one! If you want to learn and expand, sign up.

Class should be called Grammar for Education Majors. Was excited about the class but grossly disappointed. There were several days I (not an Ed major) could have skipped without missing a thing. Is pretty easygoing, but does not prepare you at all for the retardedly hard final. Her random ear-piercing laugh is like torture. Easily annoyed? Avoid he

Awesome Teacher!!! Very Personable, fun and enjoyable. Makes me want to come to class, which is unusual for me. Her only fault is she is a difficult grader. I dont think one person got an "A" on a paper all semester, but I also dont think anyone got worse than a "C". I Highly recommend her.

She's very nice and helpful ... Laughs a lot for no reason which is somewhat annoying. You must come to class prepared (or don't bother coming).

She's the best teacher I've had at Fisher, bar none. She's not just smart, deeply knowledgeable, funny, personable, kind, and helpful -- she also really knows how to TEACH.
