Reviews of professor Ruth Poproski

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The lectures were engaging. Tough work load but ample opportunity for extra credit if one wants.

Taking PHIL 3127 w Ruth was the worst decision of my life. Papers are graded extremely harshly and little feedback/reasoning is given. Weekly essays will consume your weekends. No curve and no rounding. Averages on essays are C's. By far the hardest humanity class offered at Tech if you take with her.

Didn't round up my 89.9 despite the fact that I scored a 95 or higher on every assignment except one (76 on an essay, a 77 would have pushed me above the A line but she refused to give me even a single point back). Do not take - no compassion or empathy, and is just generally an uninvested and uncaring person

Prof Poproski is funny, and her lectures are interesting. Learned a lot in this class. But there's a lot of work, way too much for a humanities class. It's by no means an easy "A". The papers and homework are graded harshly, so don't expect to do great. Textbook is mandatory, and attendance depends on participation in recitation (TA is the judge)
