Reviews of professor Kristina Markman

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
a really down-to-earth professor. She lectures very well in relation to ideas and lingo that students today would use. Her lecture quizzes aren't too bad so long as you really pay attention to the details and main points of the lectures. Essays are alright, but no hum essay prompt is ever particularly "easy." Overall, I highly recommend Markman.

I took HUM 1-3 with Markman. She is a great professor who is clearly passionate about the subject matter. Essay prompts are on the medium to difficult level; you definitely need to read to be able to come up with a solid answer. She will have pop quizzes occasionally. Section is really important. LOTS of reading. But overall an enjoyable professor.

The HUM series is definitely difficult but having professor Kristina really eased my worries! The writing bootcamp she made really helps with writing the essays and helps scaffold your essays. You do have to put work in, to get a good grade. I definitely recommend! Grading is also based on TA's, shout out to my TA Stevie, they are the best!!

Very know it all professor and will put you down if your approach to the text differs from hers. She is very harsh and thinks only her way is the right way. she is very rude and not approachable. she grades based on "improvement," which just means u will get D's & C before u get a B or an A on your writing. avoid her she will make u hate the class

Good and engaging professor, but the HUM series in general requires a LOT of reading so be prepared for that. Random lecture quizzes to track attendance and required discussion section attendance and participation.

Great prof, essays were difficult but that's true for any HUM prof. Her lectures are engaging and shes very funny. Grading obviously very TA-based but she has a clear rubric/formula for essays. My TA, Jonathan, was incredible and made the class so much better.

I've taken Kristina for both HUM 4 and HUM 1, and especially for HUM 1, I think she did a great job of introducing everyone to the course program, how to write the essays, etc. It's rather annoying that lecture attendance is necessary. I also find her lectures very uninteresting, but others I know think she's a great lecturer. She's very kind tho!

BEST PROF EVER!!!!! I admire Prof.Kristina so much. Literally having chapters and verses at her tongue. Lectures are so well-prepared, content-rich, engaging, and inspiring. Echoes with my spirits and uplifts me to become better person. Hum 4 is definitely my life lesson! Learnt so much and grown so much!
