Reviews of professor Karen Stocker

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She made me interested in becoming a CCRN & I'm happy to have had her as our instructor. She is very knowledgeable and sets us up for success with passing school & NCLEX. Complex adult health problems are hard to understand & treat without understanding the background & the reason why they happen, & she helps manage these topics to make them easier

Stocker is the worst!!! She's dry & monotonous and does not share any compelling real-life experiences. Instructions on assignments are unclear & her teaching methods are subpar. Exams are very difficult & if you ask a question during lecture, she doesn't give a definite answer; which leaves students to be even more confused. Hw/Lab is worth 0 pts!

Professor Stocker has set some unrealistic expectations within her class. Her grading rubric is not clear, and she will dock points whenever and wherever she can. She is definitely rude to students, and isnt very helpful when problem solving issues that come up in her class. The way she re-structured the grade book makes it difficult to pass.

Prof Stocker is consistent with her expectations and prepares you for exams and quizzes. Read the outlines and prepare prior to class and you will do great! She does extra reviews and is easily accessible outside of class. She keeps students on track and really cares. I would take her again and would recommend her to other students!

She does care about the class. She will give a weekly outline with all the information you will need to pass the class. Her videos breaks down what is on the outlines and gives examples to what is needed. Yes her tests are hard, but you can't say you didn't know the info because it is all on the outlines. Actually study for the quizzes CMS and RUA!

Awful, terrible, not a fair grader, monotone and hard to follow are all understatements. If you do not "cite" papers correctly she accuses you of plagiarism and next thing you know there is an "investigation" in the 7th week (2 weeks after the assignment was even due) as if you are a criminal even though turn-it-in scores are below 5%. Ridiculous.

For a professor that prides herself in being a nurse for over 25 yrs, Prof Stocker is unsure of herself and does not give definite answers when students ask her questions. Made a 1:1 appointment with her to ask for clarification on a concept and she pulled up a video from YouTube instead of actually teaching me. Worst experience/prof ever! :-(

I know critical care (complex adult health) is a difficult class in terms of material but I was not a fan of how she taught the class. Lectures were disorganized and it was difficult to follow along with her diagrams. Her typed outlines were easier to follow but still. The content is extensive and complicated but thats how critical care is :/
