Reviews of professor Katherine Petrie

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Petrie is very enthusiastic about what she teaches. Everything made sense from the class and I learnt a lot.

This class could be easy but I think she made this class harder than the previous quarters. She started quizzing and testing things she briefly mentioned in class which is super annoying. Also, she doesn't take into account her mistakes or IA mistakes during discussion. Super hard to get a solid A, most of the class is looking at an B+ to A- now.

dr. petrie was a great professor. iclicker used for attendance, but can miss up to 6 lectures and still get full credit. clickers & discussion worksheets reflect a lot of what the exams are like + she allows a cheat sheet for midterm and final. weekly quizzes are also open note. i loved her class!

Dr. Petrie's class is so much fun! Weekly quizzes in DS, but she allows for you to have a cheat sheet. Her midterm and FE were a little hard and detailed, so you must study for them. An A is very manageable, you just have to study and stay on top of the material and look over notes after every class. 10/10 would recommend.

Dr. Petrie makes lectures very clear and accessible. Her clicker questions are really helpful in gaining understanding. She truly cares that her students are understanding the material. Easily one of the best upper div bio classes I have taken, highly recommend.

Prof Petrie was excellent at teaching the material she obviously have a great deal of knowledge. However the only thing that made me get an A- was the fact that my TA was a really tough grader. The grade is divided into midterm, final, quizzes, clickers, and work sheets. I feel like my TA did take more points on my quizzes than normal, no EC

She's a great professor, really cares about the engagement of her students with the topic and cares about the learning experience. The class has a very fair grading scale, and she drops your lowest 3 quizes, 4 clicker days, and discussion worksheet. The final was significantly more challenging than the midterm, but follow the clicker style she has.

One of the most enthusiastic professors! She had amazing lectures which helped with the weekly quizzes and lab writeups. She provides a clear rubric of how your lab writeup is graded and wasn't hard to follow. Labs are mandatory for your notebook grade but one of the most fun labs I've taken at UCSD.
