Comment:

Slowiaczek is by far the best professor I have had at Bowdoin. Loves what she's doing, her lectures and instructions are clear, concise, and interesting. She is completely invested in her students really learning the material and WANTS you to do well! LOVES to help you outside of class! And it doesn't hurt that she has a fantastic sense of humor!

A love-her-or-hate-her professor: very enthusiastic, clear lecturing style. Always willing to answer questions and clarify information in and outside of class-time. Brilliant woman, who knows her stuff, and I learned a great deal.

Comment:

she is an awesome teacher. she makes her classes fun and exciting. the class moves on fast but she is willing to help you during her office ours. Her tests are very hard and require you to know little details and almost everything she talks about in the lectures.Overall she's a wonderful teacher, very nice and funny.

She is a very fun and energetic teacher. However, her tests are very detailed and you must be paying attention at all times during her class because things will appear on the tests that are not mentioned in the book.

Shes great for intro, really clear, really easy to follow, really enthusiastic. her style doesnt work as well for any upper level courses though. they end up being too much busy work and not enough real thinking (not in that good easy way)

Professor Slowiaczek is one of the most overrated professors at Bowdoin College. She indeed exudes enthusiasm in class and lectures screechingly loud which students often mistake as excellent teaching; however, this professor lacks important qualities of
