Reviews of professor Katherine Strack

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Kate was an amazing teacher and I am interested in taking ASL102, she is very sweet and kind and she really takes the time to help all students on anything, attending class in person is important and its easier to learn ASL in person rather than online through Zoom. Its an easy A if you pay attention, stay on track, and practice ��

Katherine is a super fun professor to have! She is very outgoing , and her personality is so unique:). She loves what she does and thats what makes the class fun. Attendance matters because you need to be there to learn. The professor is deaf herself, so everything is communicated through ASL. Loved every second of her class:)

She's very sweet and I can tell that she cares a lot about her students. Weekly Zoom meetings are mandatory, and it's important you have your camera on since she is deaf. (There are interpreters in zoom meetings.) I do wish she would respond to messages a little quicker, and be more clear with the guidelines, as they're often confusing.

I took ASL122 since I liked the previous 121 class, but now I'm not so sure if I should have. She's very picky with grading, and this class almost decreased my GPA. To get a 4.0 grade, you need above 98%, unlike the usual 95%. On top of that, her instruction is very unclear so you kind of just have to assume what she wants.

She was really good at teaching signs. She would remind you what was due and what it required. For our final, it was very unclear what she was looking for but didn't grade harshly. She is very kind and funny. Since she is deaf her office hours is just emailing her. She responds quickly and overall was focused on student success.

She was really understanding and an easy grader, as long as you follow her directions and do the work you'll get a good grade.

Good class. Prof. Strack is very dedicated to helping show students how to learn asl. Most homework assignments aren't graded, mainly just the Unit review ones. Quizzes/ tests aren't too difficult either if you've paid attention. There is a partner presentation (3 min), but with the whole quarter as prep it is very easy. Highly Recommend!
