Comment:

She is the worst. Should be sort of blowoff class since its a Gen Ed. She takes herself way too seriously. I need to work hard on major specific classes not a religious dimensions class they force atheists to take.

Comment:

Usually, Professor Cedzich captivates the class. She's tough on policies. The class made me anxious. She favors students who participate. Don't blame her for that. Some deep philosophical stuff really made me question life! Can't be SUPER shy. Don't be late - double-check syllabus. NOT A BLOWOFF CLASS. Cedzich loves this topic and challenges you!

Comment:

This is one of the worst teachers I've ever had. I actually dropped her class. This class is an amazing and fun and interesting topic that is executed so horribly it makes you angry about it all. She has an accent and is from Germany and doesn't really understand English well. She makes no sense on her assignments(papers). DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!

Comment:

The syllabus and assignment descriptions are cluttered with unnecessary information, which she wastes class time repeating. Lectures rarely add anything new to the reading. All she does in class is summarize what she's already told us. The class isn't difficult, and the reading is interesting, but sitting in class is mind-numbing.

Comment:

Professor Cedzich is incredible. She is so knowledgeable about the things she teaches and gives very interesting and informative lectures. She doesn't tolerate slacking, so if you're looking for an easy class, don't take this class. But if you're looking to learn, absolutely do! I've taken her twice, and if I could, I would take her again!

Comment:

People complain about this class because she doesn't try to save you from the embarrassment of not knowing the answer. As long as you engage in the conversation, it's fine. She has a lot of passion for what she does, and just cares that people put in the effort. She won't hold your hand through the entire course, and it upsets people.

Comment:

She expects you to know everything even though she doesn't teach. If she doesn't like an opinion she will tell you it's wrong and not accept it in a paper. She doesn't understand English that well and therefore doesn't answer any questions. She will also pick on you and call you out during class. She wasnt meant to be a professor she can't do it

Comment:

Her accent was hard to understand sometimes, but I liked the words she used to describe Buddhism. She seemed really passionate about the subject and really wanted us to get a grasp of it. If you are actually interested in learning about Buddhism, I would recommend this class.

Comment:

Not going to lie, her class gave me awful anxiety and it has been one of the toughest classes I have taken so far, but it was still a GOOD class. She does call on people randomly if no one is talking, so definitely be sure to have done the readings assigned.

Comment:

First off, I have never been so disrespected by a professor this poorly ever. I devoted more time into this class than even my major classes combined to even pass. If she does not like you, for my case, she calls you out in class and makes you seem like scum. She only gives vague comments on your paper. Please save yourself from this class.

Comment:

Look, she gets a bad rap cuz her classes aren't easy. The reality is, you come to the class with an open mind about the subject, do the work , participate then you'll be fine. She's a China specialist, a sinologist in the good ol' European sense, if traditional China or Taiwan is your game you will have fun. Her quizzes are guess proof though READ

Comment:

Professor Cedzich is really passionate about the subject matter, but she is extremely unclear. assignments are confusing and the quizzes are weirdly formatted. There is a lot of reading, which isn't too bad but she basically expects you to know everything up front and puts you on the spot if you don't an answer. not for an introverted student.

Comment:

The way this intro class was set up was EXTREMELY unnecessary. The work load is extremely overwhelming for a 100 level course, and the concepts are NOT easy to understand. I think she expects everyone to only read for this course, which is truly absurd. The amount of actual work isn't bad (4 quizzes and 2 papers), but the readings are ridiculous.

This was one of the hardest classes that I have ever take. The Professor was not helpful and was not approachable. To succeed you have to participate a lot during every class.

Comment:

I don't think I have disliked a professor this much the entire time I have been at DePaul. She was very hard to contact outside of class, hardly ever responded to emails and when she did they were cryptic and vague. She demanded that we think about the topic on a higher level that was very hard to achieve unless you spent hours outside of class tea

Ok guys, let's set the record straight! Angelika is a good professor. Does she expect you to read closely? Yes. Will she call on you if you seem unprepared or disengaged? Yes. But, the readings are not long or dense, there were two papers and four quizzes - this class was totally manageable! Plus, she's really approachable and ready to help.

Comment:

I've taken 3 courses with her. All of the negative reviews, if you are just trying skirt by in college, don't bother with good professors. She WILL ask a lot of you, as she should. She's amazing, pushes you hard to learn, and delivers in kind with enthusiasm. It's sad you're expecting the opposite. Best professor in all of my time at DePaul.

Comment:

A lot of DePaul students don't like to be challenged so I took the reviews with a grain of salt. She knows her stuff but is the perfect storm of expecting a LOT from you coupled with being extremely unclear. I learned a lot, but lost points due to confusion and I know I wasn't alone. Also, the quizzes she gave are an awful way to be evaluated.

Comment:

Honestly the worst teacher I have ever taken. The class seemed very interesting but lectures were completely unorganized. Constantly calls on people at random so better know your stuff or be prepared to be ridiculed in front of everyone. Expects you to know the textbook like the back of your hand and grades very harshly. Suggest to never sign up!
