Reviews of professor Kathleen Sorensen

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Beware of this professor because they seem to always be in a bad mood for no reason. You have to attend every day unless you have a legitimate excuse. I never saw this professor ever doing anything other than sitting at their desk. The TA's made this class better than it actually is because they were actually very helpful.

Although professor Sorensen was extremely strict about filling up your pie on Aleks, I liked that she had tutors walking around the classroom who were available to help you whenever you were stuck on a problem.

She is the absolute worst professor I have ever taken. She has no communication skills, returns ZERO. I have a feeling she's there for a paycheck and not to teach any students, not to make any students better. She should consider retirement. I'm surprised UNM does not monitor their instructors.

She is now the director of the college algebra program at UNM. Class is paced way too fast to actually learn anything. Count on teaching yourself. Khan academy is free and you will actually learn something there. Look for a better option, this is ridiculous.

Rushes through every single lecture.  Im basically teaching myself everything after each of her lectures. There's quizzes every to every other class period. Doesn't bother to give any type of review the first few lectures, so if you don't have a solid understanding and backround on the topics, you can't count on her for a refresher.  Avoid her.

She often brags that half her class is failing and encourages you to drop the class on the first day, don't expect homework grades to cushion your test grades. 80% of your grade is tests, including the final. The other 20% is homework and quizes. Expect 40 homework problems every class and a quiz every other class. Do not recommend professor at all

This class was so dependent on using Aleks and tutors that you really become your own teacher. She was mainly there to let you know deadlines, answer questions, and to remind you to fill your pie ASAP. There was no lectures at all, examples, or lessons.

For this class, Kathleen Sorensen was pretty strict; she would hover over everyone making sure your phones were away and you weren't cheating. The class in person seems pointless because you just sit in a big library in silence and work on the same work that you would at home. She gets onto you if you fall behind and pressures you to keep up.

Do not take applications of calc with her unless you are already proficient in calc. I worked hours on homework with multiple tutors and still never did well on homework or exams. She will doc points for anything and fail to explain how to solve a problem multiple times in lecture. I do not recommend.
