Reviews of professor Karin Sternberg

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Pretty straightforward class, there are 5 papers throughout the entire semester (all relatively easy) and 3 fifty question quizzes that were not that challenging at all. Totally recommend this class!

The course content is interesting, but the course was not enjoyable due to the professor's teaching style. Her presentations were insensitive. She was unnecessarily strict about deadlines and missed exams. Assignments were unrelated to the course content. I'd recommend taking one of the many other good developmental courses offered by CoAS or CHE.

I enjoyed the content and the reading. Her lectures are quite boring. The class is not hard, just read and study the material. My issue was mainly with the written assignments. The TAs grade very subjectively and also waited to grade the last two assignments until the end of finals, leaving no time for regrades. Do not recommend this class.

Professor Sternberg wasn't horrible. You take two prelims (all multiple choice) and a final. The final is cumulative and when the class asked her to give a study guide she said: "no you go to Cornell." Additionally, the final had specific questions about the guest lectures that you could only answer if you knew the guest lecturer's names.
