Reviews of professor Laura Starkston

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Amazing professor that breaks down the linear algebra concepts into much easier parts. Grading is very fair; they care more about your work than the answer. No curves (avg was around 80 for the final). Do the webwork hw and exam practice problems. Understand the concepts well for T/F and multiple choice. Definitely take her class if you can!

The teaching style of this professor is inconsistent and incredibly frustrating. After starting off easy, she ramped up the difficulty to an unreasonable level with no warning. Many students who were doing well found themselves barely passing with C's or B-'s.

Professor Starkston is a great math professor who makes difficult concepts easy to understand. She has clear grading criteria and a reasonable amount of homework. Overall great professor, take her if you can.

This professor is a basically a yapper. I have been to all her lectures so far in this quarter but I absolutely have no clue what she is teaching half the time. She is very inconstant in how clear her teaching is, I would not recommend this teacher.

Loved taking her class. Lectures were a little slow at first but did pick up pace later (I think she just wanted to make sure everyone could follow). Learned a lot about linear algebra and would definitely take her class again if I could :)

This professor is terrible at teaching the material

She is a fantastic professor period. If you have a chance to take a class from her then do it. Her lectures are extremely clear, her homework and tests are very fair as is her grading. She is very nice, but also really cares about presenting the topic in a clear fashion. If more math professors like her then Davis would be amazing, honestly.

Starkston is sweet and kind and amazingly clear. Sometimes the class was a bit slow for my taste, but she went in depth on all proofs/examples and gave homeworks and tests that clearly correlated to each other (and lecture material). Textbook was helpful occasionally, but if anything wasn't clear from class, you just weren't paying attention.

Professor Starkston is great! She takes the linear algebra concepts and breaks them down well! Tests were based on all study guides and were extremely fair(also slightly on the easy side since shes a new prof) as long as you do your hw and thoroughly do all the test prep she provides youre good.
