Reviews of professor Deanna Kolar

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
This was one of the most boring classes I've ever taken and the group project was awful. I'd suggest you crap in your hands and clap, that way you'll understand how you'll feel after you take this class.

DO NOT TAKE HER. She is absolutely terrible. Her exams are hard and she literally told our class she tries to trick you. After our first exam she said that exam scores were too high so the next exam would be harder. Also she will never respond to your emails. Barely passed this class and I put hours and hours a week studying for her exams.

I never had to talk with Dr. Kolar outside of class, so I can't speak to her on that front. I will say that going to class is pretty much worthless because she posts her PowerPoints on Canvas and reads straight off the slides during lecture. Overall I think this class could be really beneficial and even interesting, but she is just okay for it.

This class is super important because of the content. Don't necessarily need to go to class because she posts everything online. She means well and wants everyone to succeed, but she definitely needs to make her lectures a little more engaging and fun so that people will want to be there. Pretty much entire grade is exams.

This class was an absolute joke. The classes are so boring and consists of her just talking for over an hour and not really engaging with the class. The exams come from the power points and she likes to throw some trick questions in there to curve out the tests. Avoid this prof at all costs.

I regret ever taking the professor. Her exams got exponentially harder and her last exam had about 10 questions that were never discussed or in the slides. Intentionally tries to trick you on exams. Poor teacher, doesnt care about students. I learned nothing in this class except how to be stressed and forget the stuff I memorized for exams.

I absolutely hated this class because of how boring the lecture were. The group project at the end of the semester wasn't great either and she doesn't clearly outline her expectations for the project. My group had to guess on a lot of it because she wouldn't give us guidance when asked and she never returned emails.

Hard to actually want to attend her lectures. She reads directly from the notes that are posted on Canvas, but attendance and participation are part of your final grade. Majority of your grade is exams besides the huge group project due at the end of the semester. She's a nice lady, but her lectures can get boring.
