Reviews of professor Laura Ikuma

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Very detailed oriented. Labs are ridiculously long and she grades like a nazi. Will take points off for very stupid reasons, like capitalizing a letter thats not supposed to be. Very tough grader and strict. So many students are in her office hours because she is not clear about what she wants. Overall, class takes a lot of time and would not rec.

Great professor! Explains concepts, provides examples, and encourages practice. If you pay attention in class and put in the work (a good bit of work), you will do well. She sets you up for success. The class is a bit of a time commitment, but the real-world examples keep me interested and motivated. 10/10

Make sure you are VERY detailed in your lab reports and don't think you can just mess around and do the labs last minute. She drops one lab and 10% of in class questions. If you have questions ask! She's so nice but she makes you work for your grade. This is a serious class, but easy if you take the time to work and study for it.

Dr. Ikuma is a great prof! shes straightforward and is specific to what she asks. labs are stupid but not too hard. grades tough/strict but fair. do what you have to/what she asks, youll be fine. tests from notes, practice old exams. take advantage of office hours! always happy to help. respectful and kind. material isnt difficult but still study!

Dr. Ikuma does nothing to help her students. It seems like she wants us to fail. She thinks you are only enrolled in her course and have hours of free time.
