Reviews of professor Linda Kinney

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Linda isn't the best prof, but she def is not the worst. You will do fine in this class as long as you actually try on the group project. She is very passionate about HTM and is a difficult person, but I got an A with minimal effort, so its not as hard as everyone else is making it seem.

Linda is super nice but very unorganized. Lots of group projects with unrealistic due dates and unclear instructions. Auto-graded annotation assignments are a big part of your grade, easy but boring.

Easily one of the worst professors I have ever had at UMass. Perusall book readings are 100+ pages of reading weekly, then a quiz that is only 10 questions. Boring lectures and every class is mandatory, nit-picky hard grader, not understanding at all, she is never clear About what she expects in assignments and will grade poorly if they arent met.

THE WORST PROFESSOR I EVER HAD!!!! She has no clear grading rubrics or guidelines! Her instructions makes no sense! She is so disorganized and expects you to do SO MUCH when she doesn't even teach.... Exams are taken before she teaches you on the material. LITERALLY had a lecture on the material that was on the exam right after the exam EVERYTIME.
