Reviews of professor Susana Kimura-Hara

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She crams 50-60 slides of text in 75 minutes and claims that you need 3 textbooks in this class to succeed. In-class examples aren't regularly posted and she won't post practice problems or past exams. Grading scheme is ridiculous. Takes forever to respond to student inquiries and her office hours are really short. A very below standard professor.

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Kimura was very kind and caring toward her students. She had practice tests before the quizzes that acted as a study guide, and the questions asked on the quizzes were clear and not too difficult. Case studies were overall annoying but manageable. Overall Dr. Kimura was a good professor and I enjoyed her classes.

Dr. K had pre-reading quizzes that set you up for success in the course. They were really annoying at first but helped so much with my overall grade. Her tests were fair and nothing too tricky. Dr. K was accessible outside of class. She live streamed her classes on Zoom, so you had the choice to go in or you could stay at home if you were sick!

She goes through 50-60 slides each class and expects us to memorize it all. The midterms are unfair of how they aregraded. She is unspecific when she lectures, and she just reads word for word off the slides. She often doesn't even know the material herself and cannot answer questions. She also makes several mistakes that students point out. BEWARE
