Reviews of professor Kristen Dovgan

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
People are critiquing Professor Dovgan extremely hard! She is actually one of the best professors I personally think you could ever get. I am a horrible test taker but her exam review prepares you PERFECTLY for the exams and her exams are extremely straightforward and not worded in any way to trick you. Just study your notes and pay attention!!

I would not recommend to take her at all. Her tests were way to hard to the point that she had to curve them for someone to get and 100%. Her in-class activities were nothing like the material she was posting. She just reads off the slides in class and nothing more. It's not worth it to take her at all unless it is a last option.

Dr. Dovgan was pretty good for Research Methods I. She had office hours if you wanted to talk about quizzes/tests that you didn't do well on, and she gave decent feedback on the research project. The homework load and content were quite a bit to handle, but overall she did okay teaching the class. Grading was also pretty fair and self-explanatory.

Get ready to spend lots of time watching her lectures out of class. She is so monotone and does literally no work in class. Her tests are impossible and I strongly recommend not taking her class.

She seems nice, but be warned that she's a really tough grader. Late0 pts. She took off 10% on my paper because I didn't delete the normal space between paragraphs. Her tests are 52 questions in 65 mins. Her classes are structured where you watch the lectures before class and during class you do an in class assignment. No projects or group work.

This class gave me stress no one should have. If you want to strain your eyes looking at the computer screen for so long and still get an eh grade on the tests then take her. The only reason I got a decent grade is bc we went online for COVID, where she let us use our notes and I still did poorly bc the tests were that hard.

It's tough but not impossible. Dovgan provides so many resources that its your fault if you don't take advantage of them. The tests are what she goes over in class and on the online flipped lectures. SO WATCH THEM!! I can only see her improving from here, work hard and the class will fly by. Talk to her if you need help (she's nice, I promise).
