Reviews of professor Amanda Kowalski

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Professor Kowalski was very knowledgable in her field and taught things that are actually applicable in the field of economics. She presented her research as she would in a peer-review setting, which was cool. The research skills that you learn in this class are invaluable. For an undergrad course, it may be a little advanced, but I learned a lot.

If there was a grade for passion, Dr. Kowalski would rate very highly. Unfortunately, the material and course structure take away all the positives of her demeanor. Most of the material is drier than a stale piece of bread, especially the lectures where she chunters on about her research. Those lectures somehow manage to confuse students even more

If you want to get anything out of this class, you will need to attend her office hours and try to stay focused in her class. She goes over a lot of her research, which can be very boring, but she'll teach interesting points here and there. I would just take this in mind before taking the class. Exams not really reflective of how much you learn

Dr. Kowalski clearly doesn't care about her class or her students. Lack of effort is clear in her lecture slides which are admittedly "borrowed" from other economists. She doesn't even care enough to show up to her own exams. She was present for 5 seconds at the midterm and didn't even show up for the final. Sad to see a professor care so little.
