Reviews of professor Amanda Koh

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Koh is super nice and very passionate about what she teaches. The tests can be a bit challenging but she offers lots of extra credit plus homework and attendance make up a good portion of your grade. If you put in effort she definitely rewards that. I strongly recommend Koh for fluids.

The tests in this class are incredibly hard, the lectures and homework do not align with what is taught. The extra credit is worth a lot of points so write the essays if you can. Homework is not bad but make sure to complete it and attend lectures. The tests are incredibly stressful and incredibly hard to finish.

Dr. Koh is a decent professor, but she struggles conveying certain topics (rigid body motion, Navier-Stokes and fluid kinematics were all shaky in her fluid mechanics course) but she tries her best to derive all the equations and explain it all. Tests are insanely hard and long (averages in the 30s), but she curves and extra credit is worth a lot.

This was her first semester, but over the semester, she didnt take criticism on how to improve the pretty poor test averages. The homeworks were not bad, but not entirely related to the subject material. Tests are always "real world application based", meaning every single topic is squished into a single question.

This is a class where what you put in, you get out. She rewards hard work and offers a lot of extra credit to help your grades after her tests which are tough. There were quizzes every class period but they only counted for attendance and provided great practice questions for her tests. Overall, it was a very structured class.
