Reviews of professor Kate Ruskin

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Ruskin is easily one of my favorite professors at UMaine. Her knowledge of the subject is very thorough and explains things simply. The worksheets I found were very helpful and allowed me to solidify my knowledge. Tests were difficult, as all the choices are similar. Her grading was a bit unfair, she did scale some tests which were nice.

Unreasonable late policy, submitted an assignment less than an hour late after alerting professor to technological issues before it was due.

Dr Ruskin puts way too much emphasis on participation to the point where it feels like she's micromanaging you. Her attendance policy was very unclear too. She often seemed unprepared for her lectures ("I forgot what I was going to say for this slide") and her tests were impossible to study for. Also a very slow grader.
