Comment:

I had her at 8 am and she was very rude. She is very strict when it comes to cellphones. If you do not know the material then you are really out of luck, and she isn't truly helpful. Calls students out and makes very rude comments. (I saw this more with some athletes in class). Doesn't answer emails but will answer them in front of the class.

Comment:

She is a real gem. She is very nice and caring, but serious and blunt so she may seem a bit arrogant. Her lectures are always interesting because she's HILARIOUS. The class may seem easy as well as the exams BUT THEY ARE NOT! You must attend every class to pass and study alot to get a good grade on exams. She is very strict about phones in class.

Comment:

Honestly, Professor Kinkhabwala is not as bad of a professor as everyone else says. She genuinely cares about her students and is willing to help. Although, she is a harsh grader and her exams are tough and you will really have to work at the class and study a lot in order to pass. Strict about cell phones as well and isn't afraid to call you out.

Comment:

I was depressed waking up every day to go to be in university because of this professor. Such a tough, scary and intimidating professor. As a human being she is nice and okay in office hours but for some odd reason Im class she turns into such a hard teacher. By that I mean quiz almost every day, yelling and extremely mean. A student even cried.

GO TO OFFICE HOURS! She comes off scary at first and throughout the course she does have moments where she's really intimidating. She means well, but at times she has the worst attitude. Regardless, she tries her best to make the material seem easy. I didn't do the best, but that's on me. DO THE HOMEWORK! It's for your benefit, trust me.

GO TO OFFICE HOURS!!! She may seem scary on the first day but if you put in the effort and take the time to go to her office hours she is super sweet an will make sure you succeed! No joke, one of the greatest professors I have ever had. She is a tough grader but if you put in the effort she is an amazing teacher and great at explaining concepts.

Attended every single one of her office hours, did every single homework problem assigned and did very well in the course. She knows the material inside and out and does a great job In helping you understand it.

Comment:

She is one of the worst professors at this university. So extremely rude to students when she has no right to be. Not helpful. When anyone makes a mistake or asks a question she yells and makes them feel like such an idiot. I dreaded this class every week because of her. She has no problem calling you out in front of everyone. steer clear of her.

She is most definitely a great teacher, her lectures are efficient and precise. She is a very educated women who knows her material inside out. She does come across sometimes as if she yelling at you but in reality thats just how she responds to questions. Definitely hilarious moments in her class and would take it over because learned so much.

Professor Kinkhawbala (yes, learn how to spell her name because you will lose points on your exam if you dont) is exceptional. She is a harsh grader and is a harsh teacher but deep down she genuinely cares about your success and is only trying to help. Her constant yelling only motivated me to do better. She is truly a wonderful professor.

My best summary of her and the class. Really mean at times. Hurtful sometimes. Yells alot. Hard exams. Difficult quizes. Does not check homework, but do it if you want to pass. Makes you feel so bad for getting a low quiz or exam score. Dont skip class. In all, take the class. Sounds crazy, but you'll be happy you did when you get to Precalc.

She's actually one of my favorite professors. I'm horrendous at math and her lectures taught you everything you need to know for the class to succeed, plus she teaches short cuts and how to pass without putting in a ton of effort. She seems like she's yelling but I think it's more a personality quirk than anything. Her quizzes are just like exams.

Comment:

She was rude, very mean to students who asked questions, and yelled at you if you didn't understand something. I think she would be a better teacher if she wasn't so uptight. The one thing I did like about her was she explained everything SO well. I barely had any questions because I walked out of class understanding everything. Great at teaching.

Comment:

Dr. K.... what an interesting woman. She is only sarcastic when people ask dumb questions, like forcing her to repeat herself. But she's a great teacher. Although her quizzes are hard, they are EXACTLY identical to the final exam. Anyone who got a poor grade simply didn't show up to class. Kindness goes a long way with her.
