Arguably the best professor i've had throughout university. Beyond the fact that her lectures are actually enjoyable and not dull, she is extremely helpful outside the classroom and her door door is always open to help students succeed.

She was amazing! She had a passion for what she was teaching and it made many people love her lectures. She outlined requirements for exams, midterms and papers very well. I will definitely be taking another class taught by her if possible!

I found she did not know her material... Read off the slides, and generally treated the class as if they were unskilled.

Very nice teacher. She is a great speaker and is very clear. I would recommend going to class however, her PowerPoints have lots of details on them and they are easy to study off of. She will also change the course curriculum based on current events and that was very interesting.

Lectures are very interesting, and the course is split up so there are 2 midterms and a final exam. The midterms are multiple choice and most of the questions and answers are given at the beginning of lectures. Overall, an easy and interesting course to take in first year, and the prof is AMAZING!

Poli sci can be a dull subject, but her lectures were always interesting and engaging. You can tell that she loves teaching and what she teaches and this reflects in how much she cares and tries to motivate her students.

Debora Van Nijnatten is an awesome teacher! She's very passionate about what she does and is great at explaining it! The class has two multiple choice midterms, two papers (like 5 pages each) and a final. That's it! Definitely a good course to take as an elective.

The person below is right: DVN does hand out a *ton* of work, relative to other profs. On the other hand, she is a very forgiving marker, an incredibly nice person, and can make even the most dry material interesting. Because of the workload, I wouldn't want to take two classes with her at the same time -- but one class per semester sounds good t

I agree...profs should be much more concerned about their students feelings rather than giving them an honest assessment. Students' feelings should come first.

Comment:
She seemed all right. she actually tries to interact with students, but she is very good at discouraging students. Like. you won't get into this kind of law school because you are not smart enough. It was very hurtful, disappoing to hear that kind of comments from your prof. You shouldn't tell students whether or not to apply certain level of schoo
