Horrible woman she oppose everything and anything you say. Gives a very "highs chool" like project that's totally bogus and a waste of you time and money. She not very helpful when you ask her questions , loves to talk about herself and not very accommodating.... why is she even teaching

Comment:

Dumont is an egotistical self-righteous woman. DO NOT take this class expecting open discussion. If your views oppose hers, she will instantly dislike you and make it well known. Textbook is the ENTIRE Narnia collection and the final exam is a horrific oral group interview; no notes and you aren't allowed to repeat anything that anyone else says.

Comment:

Horrible teacher. She says she wants everyone's opinion but in the end only hers matter. Our textbook was Narnia. Her final exam is oral and if she doesn't like where it's headed she'll cut you off. My advice, avoid her at all costs.

Comment:

Far from being the only ineffective professor as MSMC, Dumont is probably the most blatant. Her class will involve an alarming amount of her stating her opinion on everything. The global market economy, U.S. foreign policy, historical interpretations, cinema, theology, The Constitution, gender, her problems with her mother I had to hear it all.

Comment:

Extremely rude! Whatever is goes on w/ her personally she brings it to class. She is paranoid and completely crazy. Everything taught also has her two cents. DON'T TAKE HER. Do yourself a huge favor and just don't. She's a monster. She may enjoy the subject but does not enjoy teaching or students. If you're different, she'll point you out.

Comment:

I have never met someone so rude before. I feel bad for whoever will take her in the future. You are in for a big treat. I am warning you, DO NOT take her. Take Taheri! SHE is way better and loves her job and students. Dumont is not only rude to her student but people who are NOT in her class. She needs to take her attitude and rudeness elsewhere.

Comment:

Professor. Dumont was great. She was a bit dramatic at times but overall a good professor. Her power points are awesome and she is really organized. She expects you to the reading because she will quiz you next class meeting. Highly recommend her if you want to learn different philosophical views .

Comment:

This woman is psychotic! Do yourself a favor and avoid her class at all costs. She hates white girls and is extremely rude. She singles out students and makes them look bad in front of other faculty and the rest of the students. She is terrible with communication and expects you to read your mind. She's also extremely paranoid. worst decision ever.

Comment:

She is a brilliant teacher. She is a little hard, but she really listens to you and is very helpful. A lot of info is crammed into 1 semester, so you have to work for an A, but she is very fair, very sweet, and I hope to take her again. She is an excellent professor who really knows her stuff. She listens to you and values you as a student

This woman's what Urban Legends are made of. Everyone at the Mount speaks about the dreaded Dumont; I had her a total of 5x before I graduated (I was a philosophy major) She is a brilliant woman and an excellent teacher! Tips to live by: 1. FOLLOW instructions 2. NEVER be late 3. PARTICIPATE in class 4. Don't be intimidated, she will respect u

Comment:

Her class taught me some valuable things. It really depends on what idea you're learning to see if you are interested. She is nice if you take her class seriously and do the work. If you don't, you're in trouble. You won't stop hearing it. Besides her grading scale (a 90 in her class is a B+) her class isn't too hard. It's tolerable.

Rude, Opinionated and Unclear on her assignments. The discussions are interesting, although she always cuts the students off. Will never take her again nor would i advise a friend to take her! Stay away!

At first she is cool, but as the semester gets going, she becomes rude and puts her students on the spot. I was really irritated with her. She also always let us out of class late.

Comment:

Thought the class was interesting and appealing. It is all discussion so prepare the night before and just do the readings. The readings are not all that bad and they consist of these easy narratives about moral movies and books. She plays devils advocate a lot but it is just to make you think. She's helpful if you do not understand a concept.

Comment:

Most of the class was open discussion. Be prepared for a lot of written work and reading. Come to class prepared! The grading scale was unfair but the class was well worth it. She can obviously be a bit looney. If you look past her personality issues, you'll learn a lot. Take it for what it is. I'm glad she stands up for causes. A lot of professors don't want to politicize themselves and that's a shame.

Comment:

Though she is strict, I enjoyed her class very much. She has no problem with you having a different opinion than hers, I told her I do not agree with homosexuality and she actually thanked me for being honest with her.

Very interested in her class, 85% of it was in class discussion. Needs to be more organized, and not loose papers. Ohhh, needs to work on approachability.
