Reviews of professor Kristina Taylor Porter

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I would take this class a million times over again. Trust her when she advises you to take notes on paper and pen. It helped me retain so much more. If you go to class, the exams will be easy. Quizzes were based on the textbook + lecture but super simple.

This class was more difficult than I expected for a gen-ed but KTP is super nice and gives good lectures. Just study and read and you'll be good. There's extra credit too. Weekly quizzes and some other homework assignments so it helps your grade. Attendance isn't mandatory but she does random in-class assignments.

Her lectures are so easy to follow and she has a lot of energy to keep your attention through lectures. She gives a lot of readings but you'll do fine if you decide not to do them. She does go a bit fast through lectures if you like taking a lot of notes from lecture slides, but they're available on canvas and you can always go back to them.

The sweetest professor! Genuinely cares about students. There are 6 pop quizzes but other then that all slides are posted online. 2 exams that are fairly easy as long as you read the information. A term paper at the end that also isn't that bad. Discussion posts each week. You actually learn in class without stressing the whole semester.

I've had Professor Porter for a couple of CMAS classes. She is FANTASTIC. I would recommend everyone to take her. Her lessons are interesting, and she is always willing to help. I would take her for all your CMAS classes.

Professor KTP is amazing! She is very knowledgeable about the course material and is very supportive of students. There are 3 exams, no final, and readings to do. Class attendance is mandatory but lectures are very engaging. I would take another class of hers in a heartbeat!

She is very nice and can be very generous. She is very understanding and kind, only strict when it comes to exams. You need the textbook for class.

She is a great prof and this is a great class! Class attendance is considered into your grade so technically isn't mandatory. She is very knowledgeable and keeps lecture interesting. I didn't get the book which I regret but I still am solid in the class. Highly recommend this course, but beware some of the content is sad.

Super nice professor. Class is interesting on child maltreatment. Not a lot of rigorous assignments. No big paper. There are random quizzes and 3 exams. Need to post on the discussion board every week for credit. The last exam is cumulative given during finals week.
