Reviews of professor Carin Loewen

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Tried to do a "flipped classroom" where we watch lecture videos before coming to class and she'd answer our questions in class. But the way she ran the classroom felt like she was just rehashing the lecture and it wasted my time. Assigned us papers to read that were way too hard and exams had so many typos or mistakes, it was a mess. Never again.

Professor Loewen has got to be the worst professor I have every had in the genetics department. Her slides in neurogenetics are a complete mess and so convoluted that you can't discern any information for exams. If you do find answers in the slides, they're most likely wrong.

Carin is one of the most obnoxious professors I've ever had. She has no respect for students' time. Assigns hours of videos to watch per week, and they're all taken from other sources. Forces students to meet weekly for a glorified discussion section (its a 3 credit class ffs). Exams every 2 weeks. Feels like high school again.

Really not that bad. The class is more genetics based than anything related to the news, but as long as you can follow the powerpoint (which is online) you'll be totally fine. No need to go to class, although some things on the exam were discussed more in class than the powerpoint. Useless before class activities and bi-weekly quizzes. Easy enough

Lectures were dry. Clearly passionate but interrupts way to much

Prof. Loewen made the class more difficult than it should be. Even with effort, the class was overly challenging and takes up a lot more time. Would not recommend to anyone.

Not respectful of student's time, rude professor and likes to interrupt students in their train of thought.
