Reviews of professor Kirsten Egerstrom

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I'm a critical thinker, but I found philosophy to be......... I concluded by the end of PHIL101 that the answer to all things is that humans have too much time on their hands pondering random nonsense. I learned a great deal, but also became more jaded than I was before, if that's even poss. Fully immerse yourself in the readings or you won't pass.

I took intro to ethics-I loved the class & having Kirsten as a professor! She was fun and pretty easygoing but still knew her material& class was engaging. Never really used textbook. Not a ton of hw, mostly readings. Topics covered are relevant and interesting. 2 tests all qtr, only final is a fairly easy paper. Highly recommend!!

Kirsten is a good professor, but I do not recommend taking her online class. She uploads course material the week that assignments were due, which threw me off a ton during the quarter. You definitely have to work for your grade, not an easy A class. Expect to read a ton, and to watch multiple long lectures and videos.

One of the worst professors I've ever had. Kirsten knows her stuff, but fails to upload coursework. I've found myself struggling to keep up with how she throws all work at you at once and expects it done in a timely fashion. She is unreasonable with what she asks on short notice. However, she does give good feedback and is very generous with grades

I have taken Kirsten for both ethics and now critical thinking. She is such a wonderful woman, she knows her stuff and isn't opposed to making sure you understand a concept before moving on. There is homework and reading but it is pretty easy if you do the reading. Super helpful, I feel I have learned a lot in both classes. Would recommend 10/10.

If you put in the work, you will definitely get an A. All classroom discussions are based on the readings. If you dont understand something, she is more than eager to help you out. She may seem stoic before knowing her a bit, but shes genuinely funny and charismatic.
