I love Professor Armstrong! One of the best teachers I've had at Purdue. She cares about her students and really wants them to do well. She's always available to help with class assignments. As long as you put forth your best effort in the readings and writing, you should be fine. She's a very cool, down to earth person. Take a class with her!

Treated us like we were becoming experts on the Odyssey, Aeneid, and Beowulf--have never felt so invested in a class before. Changed my whole outlook on life. She is awesome.

I had her course on medieval history. Really really enjoyed it. I transferred from Harvard and found it as good as a professor from Oxford I had there. Also studied French medieval period at Brynn's mast and she really brought everything together to me. Easy and fair professor.

This re TeachCo on writing. Didn't think it would help my fiction, but was in meeting of day job, people arguing opposing viewpoints. I was only one who led my argument with validity of my opponent's position. It worked. Thanks.

Dorsey is possibly the best prof I've had at Purdue! Wish I could have her again but I'm graduating! She makes the information interesting and is obviously an expert in her field! She grades fairly and gives you multiple opportunities to do extra credit papers and there is extra credit on her exams. Take a class with her if you can!!!

Comment:

Armstong is one of my two favorite professors from my undergrad career. She's a GEM, both as a person and as a professor. She commands respect, but is kinda motherly towards her students. You will learn a lot about medieval lit and history in her class, you'll become an enthusiastic nerd like her, and you'll love it.

Dorsey Armstrong is extremely enthusiastic about her subject, gives fantastic lectures and always recaps basic concepts to make sure you've got it down. She's a very fair grader and writes helpful comments (very encouraging too) at the end of each paper she grades. Always smiling and friendly. Brilliant at what she does. TAKE A CLASS FROM HER!

Comment:

Dr. Armstrong is truly dedicated to her students. She is a fair grader and is always willing to meet with her students in order to help them improve. However, some students are not smart enough to ask her for help. Therefore, they leave her class with a bad attitude as well as a bad grade. She's great, and I highly recommend her classes.

Just not as cool as she thinks she is. I didn't like her or her attitude. Acts holier than thou in a weird way, and it comes out in the grades. There's this thing she does with her nose, too. You'll see.

One of the best profs I've ever had. Very helpful in and out of class. Had a Medieval feast instaed of a final. It was great fun and the research done for it helped me learn a lot. Take a class with her if at all possible!

She ROCKS! She makes the History of the English language fun. She shows videos, is really nice, and her tests are easy. Not to mention that she is always available to help you and is totally flexible. If you can take her classes!
