Reviews of professor Kayla Gowin

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Mrs. Gowin really cares about her students and is very understanding. She lectures through powerpoint but will allow the class to give feedback which leads to discussion. Class activities are interesting and keep you engaged. Not a strict grader - cares more about the students than the work. Weekly reflections and a few tests.

Gowin cried repeatedly in class over personal matters that did not involve the field of MHC. She barely followed the provided syllabus and pushed all assignments until the last week. No textbooks, only barely-useful guest speakers. Does not answer emails for weeks/months and is a joke of an "instructor".

Class code unavailable. Kayla cares a lot about her students and is very kind and understanding, but the class was kind of unorganized and we didn't cover a lot of material.  Felt a bit redundant to have to be in class to not really do anything, but the grade was easy to get.

Kayla is simply one of the best professors in the psych department. She is so much fun and is a great teacher. I learned so much in her class but actually enjoyed every second of it. Hers was the one class I always wanted to be in-person for. She has so many personal stories from her counseling that make it all real. Love Kayla.

I have had Kayla for 3 semesters now and I am devastated that this is my last semester with her. She is my favorite professor I've had here at UCA and will really miss seeing her in class every day. She cares about her students. A lot of her lectures typically turn to engaging classroom discussions that are actually therapeutic to participate in.

PCP course code not available. Kayla Gowin did not provide the class with any content outside of guest speakers, who ended up being better instructors/resources anyway. She was late consistently, or would cancel 30 minutes before class when students had already commuted. Used class time to vent or talk about barely counseling-related subjects.

Literally the best professor I've ever had.

Mrs. Gowin is AMAZING! My only complaint is that she sometimes does not know what to do when her students are not engaged. If nobody shows up to class or does not do an assignment, she does not know how to react or go about it. That being said, she is wonderful nonetheless and I completely recommend her for anyone trying to learn about psychology.
