Reviews of professor Heather Kauten

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof. Kauten gives you a clear understanding of what is expected during the term. She's available to help and responds in a timely manner with actual feedback to help you. One of the best professors I have worked with. Communication is key. I learned so much in this course because she gave me constructive feedback as opposed to "look at the rubric"

Literally glances over what you turn in unless it is 100% in her own opinions in a class that is heavily based on having an opinion on certain topics. She will mark you just below a passing grade if she either doesn't like you or you don't align with her own pretentious views on art. If you are a STEM Major, she hates you, avoid this class.

She won't give you the answers, but she'll give you a ton of feedback and continuously try to point you in the right direction. She responds to questions and grades assignments extremely quickly with extensive feedback. Best professor I've had so far even though the class wasn't easy for me.

Tells you what to improve, when you improve those things she tells you not to do those improvements

Probably the pickiest and most unreasonable professor I have ever had to take a course with

Prof. Kauten is tough but she isn't unreasonable. Yes, you will do lots of reading in this class but it is all beneficial to the final and the essays you will write. Read the rubric, not just once but multiple times! The feedback you receive will be helpful, take it. Don't be afraid to reach out, she will be happy to help & will respond promptly.

I am in her most recent class. The other low scores she has gotten are 100% correct. She does not adhere to the rubric when grading and will input her personal opinion even if it goes against what the actual assignment requirement is. Her communication is poor at best only sending an email a day, if she responds at all. Worst professor i've had yet
