Reviews of professor Amanda Koh

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The class was challenging but rewarding. The homework was straightforward and not too tedious. The test questions were often very challenging but I felt like the questions never really strayed too far from what we did in class. Attending lectures every time was important. I felt like I learned a lot in this course.

She managed to make a senior course that was historically a blow-off and make it stressful. Her lectures don't actually teach you anything, but there is mandatory attendance. You will not have test reviews in favor of case studies that have no application to the tests. She grades stupidly hard and unless you put exactly what she wants, good luck.

Dr. Koh is a good professor who is learning the ropes at UA. While the topics were complex, with some of it going completely over my head, the power point layout that she uses allowed me to follow along as she taught the class. The test were difficult but the amount of bonus she offers plus the adjusted grading scale more than makes up for it.

Smart cute respected professor. I did not do well in the tests because I never studied. Dont expect her to take you from "stupid" to "smart" in a 4 months class.

Requires attendance when she can't be bothered to show up herself. Heavy math exams when she barely goes over equations in class and has very specific wording she's looking for or marks it incorrect. Gives opportunities for extra credit but its lengthy and tedious like other things. Very lecture heavy and obviously doesn't care about students.
