Reviews of professor katherine Benson

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I have no doubt that Prof. Benson is knowledgable in her field, however I learned absolutely nothing due to the fact that her teaching ability is lacking. Any time anyone would request an explination, she gave roundabout answers and basicly ended up rereading the question and asking if that made it clearer. No real learning is done or valued.

Dr. Benson provides a methodical approach to lecture and provides opportunities to get students involved and ensures all questions are answered in class. Sometimes she can be confusing, but a simple question and she will clarify. A lot of HW, time consuming, but gives good practice for the exams and quizzes. Out of class she loves helping students

Benson is one of the worst teachers I've ever taken. I used to always do good in math classes until I took her. She grades heavily on the tests and homework is only around 20 percent of your grade. I learned close to nothing in this class because she does not teach well at all. She also bases the tests off of the textbook making class useless.

Dr. Benson was a great professor. She was very helpful and accessible, explained things clearly, and answered any questions you might have on homework, quizzes, or exams. She gave good feedback on quizzes/exams and explained it if you still didn't understand.

The class was relatively straight forward, but the exams were overly difficult. It was very difficult to finish on time. Webwork was often a waste of time, exams were closer to review problems in the book. For whatever reason, she made the quizzes a LOT easier than the exams. Her grading is tough and there are no curves or anything

Katherine is an ok professor but does not do a very good job explaining things. She also gives a quiz every week and does not always do a very good job of explaining what will be on them. I am a senior with a 3.6 GPA and am getting my first D in her class. It is way to hard I would suggest not taking it!
