Reviews of professor Deanna Kolar

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I did not like Kolar at all. She comes across as rude and disrespectful at times and just not a good teacher. Wastes alot of time in class and the tests are just a bunch of trick questions but material is very easy.

Emailed her 4 times this semester, she has only replied once. I talked to her after class to ask if I could meet with her and she told me to send her an email about it. Again never responded. Class is boring and she post all the notes online. The test are alright. She tries to trick you on exams she said it herself in class. Take at your own risk.

Professor Kolar is great! Material is not exciting but her lectures and power point slides are very straightforward. Study the power point slides for her exams and you'll do fine. End of semester group project (no final exam) and she gives very clear guidelines for it in her syllabus, and grades it easy. Weighted extra credit that boosts your grade

UK must have been short on staff members when they hired her. She is a an absolute joke. Shes rude, disorganized, and just reads off of her PowerPoint slides. Tests are hard and you wont learn a thing. She should be teaching second grade.

Had to do a makeup exam in this class around mid-term. She told me to my face that the makeup was harder than the exam the class got. Only half the questions were from class concepts. Failed that exam even though I studied for 30 hours, and nearly failed this class. I almost didnt qualify for graduation this year. What a joke of a professor.

Absolute garbage pretty much sums up this class and this professor. Nothing but tests and a group project that was worthless. Never answered emails and students complained about it regularly. Professor is also just straight up rude at times. Doesnt care about students. If you can take this with someone else, I highly suggest it.

The other ratings on here are blown out of proportion. Dr. Kolar has experience with the material and it shows. She tries to make admittedly dry material more interesting and wants to have meaningful discussions in class. 3 exams each worth 30%, but if you have to pay attention during lecture to do well. Dont be lazy, and youll be fine.

Love this woman. The exams are easy if you remember all her powerpoints slides. Did not open the textbook once. There is a group project, but she graded extremely easy for it.

Going to class is useless she posts the power points online but attendance is 10% of your grade. She reads straight off the screen going to this class is a real snoozer. There is zero hw the only thing is three exams and group project. Group project is 30% and each exam is 20% of your grade. All in all its an ok class
