Reviews of professor Kirstin Polen de Campi

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Not a fan. Took her over the summer for two Spanish courses, did not give extensions even when I had a family member pass away, too much homework, and was sacrificing sleep and personal time just to barely pass her classes. I survived but felt it was an unfair class. Too much VHL and doesn't give good feedback during class activities.

She was the worst professor I have ever had at the University of Akron for over five years. She uses Brightspace incorrectly and grades harshly. She ruined my love for the language.

Humiliates you by making you pick what you THINK you should get for participation grade, then writes your real score, along with a petty note telling you "Pay attention in class" and "didn't hear you speaking with partner at all". I caught an air of pettiness the first class but wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. I shouldn't have.

I tested directly into the 202 course like many other students have. However, I am finding that our instructor encourages the best from students, even if they are awful at speaking. She is patient, clear, fluent, and is willing to answer any questions. Tests are not difficult and are open ended. 10/10 recommend for growing your proficiency.

I believe I failed this class because I did not get the help that I needed. I reached out several times asking for help and was brushed off. Students were expected to spend an excessive amount of hours per day on her class alone. We had an unrealistic amount of homework assigned on Brightspace and on the external VHL site. I would not recommend.
