Reviews of professor Andrea Kasinski

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Kasinski sets very specific guidelines. You earn 100 points from attendance and 100 points from homework which is easy to obtain because you are given 3 attempts. The exams are carbon copies of practice exams. This course doesn't take lots of time, but you'll need to devote time to studying. Everything is very straightforward and fair.

teaches a difficult class but provides many resources to help students succeed. Uses many questions from past exams and provides the keys to those exams. A nice professor and very smart.

Kasinski is an amazing lecturer, she knows her stuff and explains everything very well. Textbook reading is pretty much unnecessary- all you need is to go to lectures and read lecture notes. The exams are vey similar to  past exams which she posts- some questions are reused every year. Hardest part is the homework but you get multiple attempts.

Class was great, the material was tough, but Dr. Kasinski give the tools to help. Wednesday night review sessions and pre-exam review is a great help. Old exams are similar to new exams, so studying those is a great tool. Highly recommend.

The material for this class tough and the lectures can be hard to get through; however Dr. K. offers up to 100 points (equivalent to an exam) for attendance as well as multiple tries for the homework. The exams can be difficult but are very similar to past exams. Be sure to put in the work and study and you can end the class with a good grade.

Great instructor - one of my favorites at Purdue. I especially recognize that now, and wish I could go back to Cell Bio. Also wish Dr. K taught another upper level course.

The class was okay, you'll do well if you memorize the notes and the practice exams but I didn't do that so I didn't do well. She got mad at our class near the beginning of the semester for people getting caught cheating on exams and never offered us extra credit on exams like she did for her previous years. She also sometimes had an attitude lol.

She has a very nice lecture style and covers topics at a good speed. Homework can be tricky but help is available. Exams are quite difficult and are made worse by not allowing calculators for them. Graded on PollEverywhere, Homework, and Exams. The difficulty of the class is largely not her fault, the course is just hard. Study hard and read well!

I miss Dr. K every single day. Her lectures are clear and well made with lecture notes for students to reference. The learning objectives make it very easy to make sure you're on track and the provided past exams set clear expectations. I wish I could have this professor for every single class.
