Clear notes and explanations but class was boring and silent every single day. Tests were really hard and not curved...

Kate has great lectures that were clear and made it really easy for me to follow along. I struggle with understanding material the first time through in calc classes so this really points to her lecture skills. This class was very manageable, and while yes, tests were on the difficult side, the learning was not. Definitely recommend.

Gives the perfect amount of homework each night, not too much but enough to practice the concepts you learned that day in class. She is always available for extra help and has met with me multiple times out of her set office hours. Sometimes during lectures, she uses "book" definitions and examples, which can be wordy and difficult to understand.

I struggled on her exams, but overall she's a good prof

She's a good choice. No surprises; teaches to the book and does it well. I was never bored during lectures; they felt appropriately paced. Tests were the hardest part of the class  but she almost made it too easy to get points back. We had a final project; it was somewhat unrelated to the course material, but this was an "intro" class.
