Comment:

I took Latin 201 to get my language requirement done and her class was one of the hardest things I've ever done. She expects preparation and excellence so do the reading and take advantage of office hours! That being said, she is an amazing professor who genuinely cares about the wellbeing of her students. She and I are still friends!

Comment:

There are not enough words in the English language to describe Dr. Neumann. She's fantastic and so incredibly knowledgeable about Latin. Do your work; she'll know if you don't and call you out on it, but she does it to inspire you to do better. One of my favorite professors.

Comment:

Dr. Neumann intimidated me at first and for good reason: she is a smart lady with high expectations. Class attendance and participation is mandatory if you want to pass. If you show that you're working hard, she is caring and understanding. I think I spent at least 5 hours a week in her office hours, but don't regret a second of it.

Comment:

Incredibly difficult. The amount of work is overwhelming and the class bounces around a lot; however, Dr. Neumann is probably one of the nicest and most caring professors I've had. Take this class if you're ready to work and do A LOT of self studying.

Comment:

She does not care what people think of her, and she is tough but over time, I really liked her humor. The class is fun and the material in very interesting. Reading is the homework and memorization passes test. The final paper though is very tough to do well on.

I don't think you could go wrong taking one of her courses, but be prepared for it to not be your last! She's a great teacher and a great person as well. I've learned more from her than from any other professor at Davidson. Her office is way out in Preyer but she makes herself accessible. She's also a tough grader but you deserve the grade you get.

Comment:

I was sorely disappointed after taking the several courses I did take with her. The quantity of information thrown at you each week is overwhelming, and she expects each (undergrad) student to operate on the level of a PhD student. I learned very little from her, as any opinion that does not match hers is, in her view, incorrect.

Comment:

Dr. Neumann is amazing. So smart, so knowledgeable about her discipline, and very easy to talk to. I took my first class with her sophomore year and then ended up taking 4 more from her and asking her to be my adviser, because basically I want to grow up to be her. If you have interest in anything classical, definitely take her class.

Comment:

Dr. Neumann is a Latin genius! Very nice and very knowledgeable. Her class is extremely hard if you don't do all the reading and plenty of studying, so you have to keep up! Other than that, the class was really enjoyable, as was the professor.

DEMANDS excellence in your thinking. Her IQ must be @ least MLXXX- her intellect shines thru in her class. Another excellent professor @ DC. Take a class with her and your brain will really get a work out.

Dr. Neumann is extremely knowledgeable about Latin. She makes you want to learn Latin and the tests are always fair if you study and pay attention in class. Plus she is an awesome prof who loves what she does - but does not put up with any BS, so go to class.

Neumann rocks. She is what makes Davidson the incredible experience that it is. Her classes are demanding, but if you dont want to learn (and learn alot), you shouldnt sign up. She is kind, passionate, and one of the smartest people I have ever met.

Comment:

Dr. Neumann is an extremely intelligent and interesting woman. She is certainly someone to get to know at Davidson. However, most of the time in class, it seemed like she was rambling-it was hard to know where she was going with the lecture. She's not too tough though, if you pay attention.

Comment:

Neumann is my favorite professor at Davidson. She makes you work hard, but it is well worth it. She is very smart, but never talks down to you or makes you feel inferior. I would highly recommend her and would say take as many of her classes as you can. Smart, funny, and really hot, but kinda tough!

She is passionate about teaching and very funny. Classes are great - interesting and challenging. However, she can be intimidating and too New York.
