Reviews of professor Emily Boyd

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Boyd is one of the best professors I have ever had. She provides amazing lecture materials and reading guides. Class time was spent solving problems in groups which was useful when identifying what I needed help with. Dr. Boyd is so helpful and her expectations are reasonable, so if you put forth an honest effort, you can do well. 10/10

Nice person, not my favorite lecturer. Readings done outside of class, and she walks through problems in class. Then we work as a group for quizzes, and the problems were hard. Lectures weren't super exciting and engaging. Required class so you'll have to take it, just beware of the amount of outside the class learning you'll have to do.

She's an absolute gem of a professor, definitely among the top three I've had at WashU

Professor Boyd was one of my favorite professors at WashU. Her fluid dynamics course was amazing. A TA once rushed through the grading process of one of my tests and gave me well below what I deserved. I showed professor Boyd my work and she was extremely caring and raised my grade. Overall awesome professor.

Ok teacher. Tests aren't too hard but the in class reading quizzes are hard. She assigns reading for homework so she barely teaches in class and just has us do questions which is okay practice. The readings can range from 20-60 pages of heavy textbook content and the reading guide is useless. Part of ur grade is also determined by your group
