Reviews of professor Kirsten Kringle-Baer

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
I never formally met her in person, but she was extremely friendly over email. Always willing to answer questions and explain grading criteria and expectations. The online class includes weekly discussion boards based on the reading and two papers. All of which is gradely loosely or participation. Highly recommend if you need an easy par credit!

this class had the most assignments of any class i have ever taken, especially for an online class. the assignments themselves are easy, mostly discussion posts. if you procrastinate, it really piles up. there is A LOT of group work, which for an online class is frustrating. if youre looking for a low maintenance online class, this is not it.

This class has a lot of assignments but they aren't difficult, just time-consuming. The textbook is a must and there is a lot of reading/writing but it is mainly opinion based. Professor Kringle-Baer is easily accessible, responds to emails very quickly, and provides feedback on almost every single assignment, she's also a very quick grader.

This class is overwhelming at first because you start off with a LOT of information. However, you get the hang of the class flow so quickly and the class is interesting and fun. The weekly assignments are easy to complete and she does not grade harshly, if you show a good effort you will get full credit. She is also very responsive and kind!

Overall she's a pretty good teacher. Class is textbook heavy but you get the hang of the assignments and expectations quickly. She has "voice thread" assignments every week which are basically voice discussion boards. She doesn't explain things very precisely & writes confusing emails but overall her class is pretty easy & she's very understanding!

We had required readings every week, she only made us take notes on the briefing session of the chapter and they are not graded harshly. Some sensitive topics such as Abortions are touched on but she does not side with either argument. You are graded only on how you tie the chapter material into your opinion/ stance each week. Def recommend!
