Comment:

I would not take another class with her. Went super fast, got mad if you asked her to repeat herself or go back. Made you feel stupid for not knowing something. Have to type your notes, theres no way you can get enough info by writing it all out. Good luck

Comment:

Kathy was a really nice woman but she was SOOO fast! she didn't provide the slides and then would skip through them and get upset if you asked her do go back. Almost all the grades were exams which included quite a few extended response. Nice woman but difficult teacher.

Comment:

Her course ended my enthusiasm for the subject. Lectures were fine, but grading was hard to interpret and her demeanor was confrontational & not encouraging. When certain students spoke, she would sigh, look at her watch, and walk to the other side of the room making it clear she didn't value their contribution. It was unprofessional & rude.

Comment:

Class was terrible. It was boring and painful to sit through. There was WAY more work for this class than for others and we did not learn much of anything. Her grading also does not make sense and she gives you no guidelines for how she grades anything.

Comment:

I LOVED THIS CLASS!! I mean, a class where you talk about sex the whole time!!! AWESOME. She is fun and very open minded. Watched alot of movies but they were interesting. She is very understanding about missing classes. Only bad thing is, she doesnt seem to care much about the subject out side of class.

her class is a lot of work, a LOT of writing, but if you take the time you can learn a lot from her and still receive a good grade. She is very helpful, but as a warning, its a lot of work.

Classes are soooo unnecesarily long. Very overcritical when grading tests- perhaps doesnt realize that we are not yet doctorate students.

Really nice, but very difficult to sit through class, and nearly impossible to get a perfect grade on her tests. The class is alright, but the papers require a lot of work.

Incredibly smart, probably smarter than all of us anyway. This sometimes makes her hard to follow, but it's worth taking her courses if you're a major.
