Reviews of professor Amanda Kowalski

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Kowalski seems very knowledgeable in her teaching, but she is terrible at teaching what she knows. Course was heavily dependent on exams with questions that did not have to deal much with the class. No homework/other assignments made it harder. . She teaches heavily based off her research which frankly is only 1% of health economics.

Kowalski is overall a very lazy teacher who knows a lot. She cares a TON about her own research. To demonstrate, on her exams, she recycles many of questions on her practice exams and copies and paste material. On her midterm she had many typos. Seemed like she spent only 15 minutes making it. Enrollees beware, papa bless

Lectures can be reduced to half hour sessions once a week - the rest of the information is extraneous and impertinent to the course. This factors in most when studying for examinations. Material covered in lecture represents 100% of the spectrum, no matter how vaguely the topic was discussed. Examinations cover 2-3% of material covered in lecture.

Professor is a great presenter, but the material she teachers is terrible. Most of her lectures is based off her research. Some interesting topics included were pharmacy, ACA, dentistry, etc. But the material that is uninteresting greatly out-way the interesting. If your goal is to not learn much but still get an A, this is the class

Dr. Kowalski should think long and hard about restructuring her lectures. They were rarely shorter than 80 slides and had obscene amounts of irrelevant information. She would often ask random questions to "spur discussion" which led to silences so quiet you might even hear crickets chirping. Worst part was, these questions often had no real answer.
