Reviews of professor Kathleen Whitaker

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Cares more about her weirdly specific custom citation style than she does about course content.

Seems tough in class but is super clear on what you need to know and how to succeed, and is always willing to adapt to your needs and help you be successful. Extremely kind and helpful.

Dr. Whitaker is such a caring and supportive professor. She grades pretty tough but if you work hard you'll do well. She doesn't post her PowerPoints so attendance is mandatory to pass. She's brilliant and so enthusiastic in her teaching. The best professor at Lakehead by far. Take good notes and ask for clarification and you'll do awesome!

She is so rude for no reason! If it's not don't exactly the way she wants it good luck.

Absolutely loved having her as a prof. Show up to lecture, as lecture notes aren't posted. Use her syllabus and style guide, and actually read through them. Everything you need to pass are in those booklets. Do the readings. She's insanely intelligent, and is extremely approachable. Had her 5 times, 85-90 each time. Read and succeed!

I wanted to like her, but she was awful. She does not provide lecture notes, and her lectures are not clear. Her requirements for assignments is ridiculous. She is not a clear grader and marks you wrong even if you follow directions. She is full of herself. She doesn't understand what she is teaching, and thus can't explain it well enough.

When asked for clarification, she does not spend the time to help; she refers you to the syllabus. If you express concerns with her lectures or comments, she takes it personally and lashes out against you and your marks. I would not recommend this professor.

Super empathetic and charismatic, SCARY SMART and comes off as intimidating but is actually very approachable and accommodating
