Reviews of professor Katharine Marske

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Personally, first test was rough but second test and final were fair. Do the weekly hw quizzes and discussions for easy points. Uses tophat for attendance. Lectures are pretty uninteresting but I recommend going. Skip reading the textbook. Focus on PowerPoint and quizzes when studying. Go to office hours to review old exams and ask questions.

Dr. Marske is a nice person, but her lectures were boring and felt awkward as she uses frequent class discussion. Weekly quizzes and in-class TopHats are super helpful for tests as she reuses questions. Discussion boards were easy but annoying like most of the class. Tests were fair and not bad (MC, T/F, and writing) if you studied a decent amount.

Nice professor. You must study for the exams and attend class to get an A. Quizzes are open-book and open-notes. It is hard to raise your grade, so study well from the beginning. Caring and helpful during office hours.

This course is super easy and fun. You have class only 10 times a semester. All you need to do is attend class. The weekly assignment is that she just wants your opinion on the presentation (interesting, boring, funny). Seriously, just go to class. I made a 100% in the course.

She's a nice individual if you get to know her, but I attended every lecture, took detailed notes, attended office hours, and studied for exams 1-2 weeks in advance, and am barely getting a B. It's way more difficult than it should be. There's not enough structure in reviewing for exams, and quizzes will tank your grade if you bomb them.

Dr. Marske was a good professor, although the class wasn't the most interesting. The grading consisted of weekly discussions, quizzes, Simbio assignments, and exams. There were two exams and a final, which were not too difficult if you showed up to class and took good notes. The textbook is a useful supplement but is not necessary.

Nice lady, however, she told the class at the start of the semester the highest grade we'd get if we did everything would be a C. Exams and quizzes are difficult and do not get curved/dropped, so if you don't do good on those you're screwed. You are also not provided with an exam review for any exams. This class should not be this hard, but it is.
