Reviews of professor Linda Tropp

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
All she says every class is "Can I hear from someone I haven't heard yet?" Every single class, multiple times. It is pretty easy though. She makes her own test questions so you do have to take good notes and not everything she says is on the slides so you have to be somewhat paying attention during lecture.

This class was chill, lectures were short and easy to digest. 3 HWs in which you must attend a discussion. Other than that, 3 straightforward tests. Make sure you know the basic terms and the studies. :)

Professor Tropp is great. She always makes sure the class understands the material and checks in frequently. All the lectures are online and you can watch them if you miss class. Your grade is based on three tests on lecture material and three homework assignments, and you can pick which assignments you get credit for.

I enjoyed the content of the class, but lectures were very repetitive and boring, especially when you've already done the reading. The 3 exams online were easy and there's an optional final. You can choose 3 out of 6 homework prompts which are pretty easy, but they don't give you any feedback on them with your grade. Extra credit is offered.

Amazing. Simply amazing professor. She does not post slides, but if you go to class (trust me, you'll want to since the subject matter is so interesting) or even just read the book, you'll be fine for exams. There are four exams but you only need to take three. Linda's voice is so soothing and she is funny too. Lots of extra credit. Easy HWs!

Prof. Tropp is caring and leads entertaining lectures. She only required completion of 3/6 homework assignments, and I didn't open the textbook once and got an A. Exams are all multiple choice and are easy as long as you pay attention in class, final is optional. Lots of extra credit opportunities.

Only had to do three homework assignments all semester and three exams, those are all the grades. Final exam was optional if you did all the tests during the semester. Lectures were a bit boring but not really her fault, attendance was not taken so I just watched recordings before the exams.

The class was held asynchronously, except for HW discussions (only 3/6) and if the rubric was followed, easy A on HW. The lectures were super interesting and often 20-40 mins (shorter than normal class). I was able to watch everything at 2X speed the day before the exam and pass the class with an A. Be sure to remember the studies before the exams!

terrible resources for students, refuses to post the lecture slides because she considers it cheating. No other resources besides textbook are available outside of class. personally I think the learning style is terrible and I only got by using memory for exams which quickly left my head.
