Reviews of professor Karen Gil

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Dr. Gil is one of the best professors I have ever had.  Not only is she brilliant, but she is kind and truly cares about her students. The course material is so interesting, and she is able to speak on it so well from years of experience. Tests are straight forward and if you go to class, you will succeed. The negative reviews are simply false.

By far the worst professor l've had; I should've trusted the negative reviews and avoided taking her class.
Condescending and unwilling to work with you even if you reach out for help.
The only pro is that there isn't much homework but she's also a tough grader on exams and doesn't give feedback.

I would def take another elective if you can. Tests were very short and asked us about oddly specific details from the textbook or our slides, and did not represent a majority of what we learned in class.

I was really excited about the idea of this class as I want to do something close to health psychology postgrad. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed. I felt like the grading criteria was oddly specific and we didn't cover much content as we focused so much on memorization. I wish I would have taken a different upper-level psychology class.

She's so nice and caring. Assignments are easy and you only have to do ten throughout the semester, and there's one big project that will start near the beginning of the semester and is due in the middle of the semester which reduces the stress greatly during finals and big project seasons. Frequent group work and quick presentations during class.

Dr. Gil is great! Very friendly and wants to engage students in the material. Gives lots of "study tips" if you show up to class. Lots of mini group assignments you have to be in class for. One project that is over by midterms so you can live your life in peace. Great choice for that final upper-level psyc credit for majors.
