This was a very poorly organized course. The Professor opted out of having a textbook, which is fine for an organized professor with solid teaching skills, but that was not the case in this scenario. Each week, we were assigned a dense AI written overview of seemingly a dozen topics that fall into a theory or branch of developing societies and 4-6 20-50 page readings and articles that we were intended to internalize and apply to a weekly discussion that was phrased in a difficult to understand manner. The professor always fell behind on grading, at first, she was behind by at least a month. This is not a good course for online learning. this professor does not have the skills to synthesize learning in this environment and is likely only equipped to teach in an in person setting.

This professor is extremely unorganized and became increasingly frazzled and passive aggressive (sometimes straight up aggressive) throughout the semester. We stopped receiving weekly communications from her less than halfway through the semester and she never quite learned how to operate the Canvas system properly. I would go out of my way to ensure I never took a course with this professor again. This was her first time teaching at UNT - so hopefully it was a learning experience for her.

Be prepared to teach yourself absolutely everything with this course as this professor provides 0 guidelines or foundation aspects to the topics gone over in this course.
