Reviews of professor Sasha Kimel

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
You'll like this class with Prof. Kimel if you like working in groups, b/c you'll be with the same group all semester! There's 2 exams (non-cumulative), mandatory classes, & weekly group assignments. Make sure to read the textbook, do the learning objectives, and work on the study guides before exams! Highly recommend study groups for study guide:)

Terrible professor. If you have any question she doesn't know the answers. She doesn't do anything the TA's grade/do everything. will not answer emails, she barely lectures yet attendance is mandatory when she just sits there doing nothing. classwork is overall fine nothing insanely hard, you teach yourself everything.

I do not recommend professor Kimel at all unfortunately. Working in groups was the only great thing about this course. A lot of reading, but no posted lectures or notes until AFTER the class. She is NOT approachable whatsoever and her TAs are just there for no reason. She is not understanding and you only have the book as a source for your learning

Good professor. her syllabus might be intimated when you read it but her class is actually really interesting. Obvi soc class so you will be working with groups (same group for the sem) so your group will give you your grade based on your contributionicipation. 1hrExams. interesting book and really necessary to get. some activities are graded.

Grading makes no sense at all. 50% of the overall grade is based on the 2 exams so good luck if you're not a good test taker. She doesn't respond to emails nor do her TA's. The worse was the multiple spelling and grammar errors that were found on every assignment and exam....plus the multiple usage of fonts looked like it was a copy and paste.

I really liked this professor and the class! Many mention group work, weekly quizzes, and "self-taught" aspect of the class to be what made them dislike it, but it worked well for me. We are expected to read a chapter per week, individual and group quizzes, no projects, no essays, and multiple choice exams. Class isn't hard if you read each week (:

Kimel is clear before the start of the semester that the formatting for her class is untraditional. It's all team based which is a reflection of the concept of interdependence we learn in class. Test and quiz questions are applied to real-world understanding. Show up for your group and use the irat study guide and youll do fine!
