Fall 2022 - I'm genuinely shocked by the rating on this website about Professor DeWitt. I've taken three classes with her and my experience was beyond amazing. Professor DeWitt does not believe in easy As. If you want an A in her class, you need to put in the work. Although this feels annoying at first because we all love easy As, it has helped me improve my reading and writing dramatically. If you're willing to do all the readings and attend all the lectures, I guarantee that you will receive an A or at least an A-. She allows students to engage with her in lecture which makes it so much more fun to listen to. She's also great at helping you understand VERY hard concepts. Most importantly, she will go above and beyond to be there for her students, whether that be in their personal lives or academically. She is willing to stay 3+ hours over her office hour time to make sure that students understand the concepts. The only caveat is that you need to show her you care about learning and are not just there for an easy A. Most of these comments make me think that the students just didn't put in the work. Please take her class! She's truly the best Professor I have had the pleasure of working with. Grade distribution: This is standard for all of the upper div classes I've taken with her. 10% 5 reading responses submitted at your leisure throughout the quarter 40% midterm paper 4-6 pages 50% final paper 5-7 pages
