12/20/2025		The Terrapin Teacher's department at UMD is incredible, and all of the faculty deeply care about your success and helping you become a great teacher, and Anita is no exception. She is very kind, patient, and knowledgeable. The class was easy to follow and had very doable assignments here and there. She is a very chill grader, and it is hard to do badly in this course. With all of that being said, I can't give her a 5-star rating because she is pretty disorganized and just stands there and lectures, which is pretty shocking considering that, as future teachers, we all know that is not how you relay and make most information stick. So the class was pretty boring at times, but it was a very nice community and an easy start to my mornings.

11/21/2024		I took Anita for TLPL101 and 102, and I'm planning to take her for 414. She is really kind and cares about both the students and the content. Not sure about 414 yet, but 101 and 102 were a breeze as long as you submit the assignments, and the class is really enjoyable with a casual style. Highly recommend Anita, top tier professor.

Anita is an amazing teacher that encourages interesting discussions. If you have a chance to take her for EDCI411, do it! We spent most of the class discussing and had interesting readings every week which we discussed in class. Class is based on participation, so must go to class.
