Reviews of professor Kaia Koopmans

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She was one of my favourite instructors. I found some flaws in the structure of the course that I won't go into because it's not her fault. But I really enjoyed her as a person and an instructor. Plus she makes bomb cookies.

This instructor holds extremely high standards. Get ready to work every minute of the day revising your research until it is "satisfactory" for her. She expects you to have the knowledge and skills of an RN during your 2nd year of school. Completely unachievable. I have never worried about failing before. I dread going to clinical.

Avoid at all costs. Unapproachable, unclear expectations and has the mentality that her students are incompetent when asking questions or seeking clarification. Most traumatic clinical experience of my life.

Kaia really prepares you for real-life practice. She starts you off with basics to build a strong foundation and at first, you will all complain and question why but trust me it is needed. She is very detailed about medication research but that is for good reason. The fact that she makes you go so in depth allowed us to catch medication overdoses.

Kaia acts like she wants to be your buddy but is sneaky with her extremely high expectations of work that you do outside of clinical. She wants perfection in the research, is extremely controlling & micromanaging. As well doesn't respect boundaries as she would email & TEXT past 10pm at night demanding specific work to be done for the early morning
