Reviews of professor Amanda Kowalski

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Health economics could be an interesting class but it's based almost entirely off research papers (the professor's own research) and extremely dense lectures. Professor Kowalski is genuinely passionate about health econ but is not very good at teaching it. The grade is based off two exams, the final being only 20 multiple choice questions.

Do NOT take this class. She doesn't teach what will be on the quizzes. The questions are so hard that even with open notes and google, you cannot find the answers. Nobody tutors this class so it's impossible to find outside help. No definitive study guide for exams. I wish I took a different class. She makes access to needed material very difficult

If you've seen the movie "Get out", please think of Dr. Kowalski's class much in the same way as the picnic from that movie.

She is smart but, atrocious at lecturing. Make sure to bring a pillow because she will put you to sleep

Her lectures were terribly long and her exams poorly reflected what we learned in class. The whole class is graded based on exams, and in the exams, she had severe typos. This shows complete lack of effort. I believe she teaches so much of her research because she actually does not have much to teach us about health economics. A- received

I thought the class would make me an informed citizen in health care, but all I learned was her research and what a difference in difference model was. This class would better be titled econometrics through Kowalski's research. She is obsessed with her research, and very little was learned. Attended most of the lectures, 10/10 would not recommend.

Amanda Kowalski's exams are soooo unrepresentative of her lectures. If you want to do well on her exams, remember statistics on healthcare and brush up on econometrics. Do not focus on things you think would be important like economic models.

Professor spoke for 70% of the semester about her own research. Even those lectures felt rushed and poorly explained for the majority of the class. Problem sets went way too in depth - only saving grace was that they were not due for credit. Other lectures had some interesting points, but for the most part, they were sleep-inducing.

Dr. Kowalski is passionate about health economics. However, her teaching style leaves much to be desired. Lecture slides are rarely shorter than 80 slides/lecture with much of the information being extraneous. Discussions are "open" meaning 99% awkward silence and the 1% is being filled by the same few students asking/answering ?s.
