Reviews of professor Karina Kachur

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
As a professor she was good! Always emphasized important info and reassured students well by giving tips and reassurance which is very nice. Her tone is a bit monotone which may be overlooked, but I think she was a good prof!

Class content prepares you well for exams.

Did this for my sci requirement and I liked it, I think I should've just done a different course with her. It's not the most interesting topic and she tried to make it fun so I appreciate that. She had a textbook but you probably don't need to read it unless you want extra support. Her midterm was a little tough but the final wasn't that bad tbh.

Professor Kachur is really knowledgeable in the biology field. She gets through a lot of information in a short period of time and has easy to follow slides for her lecture material. All of her classes were pre-recorded which was nice. Her exams include information about little details so make sure you are paying attention and taking notes!

She was a joy to listen to in class! Very interactive and answered questions frequently, you can tell she enjoys the subject. Only issue I had was keeping up with note taking during class, but she did post recorded lectures which helped me refine my notes after if I missed something.

Karina was by far the best professor I have had at the u of w. Textbook is only necessary if you need additional guidance (she tests only on lecture material). Course contains LOTS of detail and content but is genuinely not hard as she does a great job at explaining everything. Highly recommend taking Repro with her

Her lectures were boring and you usually had to spend hours looking up answers for each lab. The rubric wasn't very clear and often wouldn't know the expectation until after you lost marks for it. I was not a fan of her teaching style I felt like I was teaching myself.

Really enjoyed her class and I found the exams to be easier than her lectures make it seem. She provides lots of resources to help you study for exams and plays a kahoot every 2 chapters to help the class practice. The lab for this class is the worst thing in the world, if they weren't so bad then im sure everyones marks would improve

This course involves having to read and analyze every word of the lab manual and textbook, they don't include enough guidelines on the assignments causing unnecessary marks lost.

lecture slides are super detailed and she goes in depth about a lot of things so its easy to fall behind. her exams are significantly easier than you would expect considering the detail in the lecture slides
