Reviews of professor Katie Muenks

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Muenks is super genuine and is very knowledgeable about the subject matter. You can tell she really cares about her students' success and is very approachable and cool. The homework is very helpful for learning the material and the class overall is super interesting and useful for not only inside the class but outside as well.

Probably the worst professor I have ever had, which is pathetic because she has her PhD in education! Makes class difficult for the hell of it, unnecessary amount of reading. Lots of 'busy work.' No textbook but unnecessary amounts of reading every week. Do not take her. She is nice, but the worst professor. THE WORST.

She is really nice and would try to be as accommodating as possible. Tests are difficult, they have essays/short answers, but studying helps a lot! In-class activities every week with a group that are mandatory attendance. Lectures aren't necessarily attendance required, but going really helps for the tests.

this class requires effort but is definitely not impossible. muenks is always trying to make class engaging and fun. the weekly readings can be long sometimes but are actually very applicable to the class information. would take again with muenks if i had to!

Grading is ridiculous, worked and perfected a paper for 7 hours+ and failed. Test are difficult and even if you study its worded so different you won't get it.

Very confusing directions on assignments, requirements seem clear but arent followed when grading. So many points taken off. Teaches how you should teach to promote learning, then completely contradicts the strategies shes teaching us lol

One lecture and one in class activity per week. Very helpful to me. Easy grader. 3 tests and they are actually easy. I studied and I got a 95 on most of my tests. Just study and pay attention in class. Honestly an easy A if you participate and listen. She cares about you as well. I did feel like she used us for her research but still good professor

Worst teacher ever taken. No communication skills, very particular grading. In-class activities make attendance mandatory but are hard to get full credit on b/c theres no clear instruction. Takes points off for excluding points she didnt ask for in instructions. 25 pages of reading/wk. Lectures are painful/useless to sit through. Frustrating.

Prof. Muenks is very kind and enthusiastic. The structure of the course was organized well (readings, weekly quiz, lecture, then weekly group assignment). The material is pretty simple at times but you get taught how to apply it to learning/education. Evaluation projects were a bit hard but group assignments help prep for those and the end project.
