Reviews of professor Katherine Petrie

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She's amazing. Her syllabus and lecture slides were beautiful. Her clickers were stimulating and she always got the class talking. She did sticky note input and actually read them all and discussed them the next day. She had a portal for questions and she addressed common one from the portal every morning of class. One of the best teachers I've had

She required full time attendance. Her class was an Iclicker galore!

Dr. Petrie is such a kind woman! The class is combo of molecular, evol., and genetics and is more a generalist course than a specialized one so nothing gets into the nitty gritty which makes the class chill. Exams are pretty easy; I did not stress about tests. Drops lowest assignments. EC available. Very doable to get an A. Highly recommend.

This is the second class I took with Petrie! Even tho I had a crap TA, I went to Petrie's office hours and she fixed my grades! She is so kind and really cares about her students success! Easily one of my top 5 favorite professors. Definitely recommend her courses. The lab was online but the activities were very doable and we often finished early.

You have to be completely brain-dead to not understand anything to fail this class. The knucklehead below does not mention that 185 people got an A on the first exam. You can miss 3 lectures without penalty. My only complaint is she said 'Kenough' once and that the class was scheduled at a weird time. (5pm) Do not leave her class early please.

The BEST professor I've had at ucsd! She really cares about her students and works really hard on helping you get an A in her class. It's easy but you definitely have to put in some work and attend lectures. Recommend her 110%

Grade is based on a lot of things, interesting class, nice professor. She's very accessible out of class too.

Dr. Petrie seems like she enjoys teaching this course. iClickers for attendance points. Course content itself isn't too difficult, but free response questions on exams were tricky.
