Reviews of professor Wackwella Samanthi Kottegoda

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This professor is amazing. All the tests are based directly off of her PowerPoints, that's all you need to study. There are very few quizzes and homework assignments, and they're all really easy. She is very kind and caring and you can tell she genuinely wants everyone to succeed.

The material in Anatomy is a lot so just be prepared for that regardless. I personally love that all exams are based on her PowerPoint, so that will be all you need to study for exams. She only gives a bit of homework and extra credit which you have a good amount of time to do. She does have an accent which is something to get used to.

Professor Kottegoda is one of the most amazing and caring professors at TWU. Her Microbiology class consists of 4 tests and various HW assignments. I definitely recommend taking her if you need to take Microbiology or Anatomy and Physiology. Each of her classes is pretty much the same setup and is very doable as long as you study and work hard.

Dr. K is a wonderful professor, but the way she teaches is not for me. Tests are strictly from power points. She records the lectures too. She does have an accent, so it is a little bit hard to understand her, but you will get used to it. Go to her office hours! They are very helpful. I know it might be intimidating, but she is such a sweet soul.

She is very clear about what is going to be tested and explains new concepts thoroughly in each lecture. She is also very fair with her grading.

Dr. Kottegoda is a very nice professor and has taught me so much! I have taken her for A&PI as well as A&PII and plan to take her for micro. Tests are based strongly off of the power point and she tells you what you need to focus on while studying! Great prof!

A really great professor who actually wants you to learn the material.

Once you skip you won't want to go back. She's kind of passive aggressive when you don't know what the material, she just taught you over, is. Don't bother relying to much on the study guide for the exams, I learned that the hard way. I had to teach myself for a good chunk of the semester because she only read off the PowerPoints and lecture notes.

The class is totally based off of power points. She goes over them extremely fast to the point where you have to go home and teach yourself.  Definitely wouldnt take her class again.

Textbook is free! She posts lectures on canvas. I took her for A&P1 and received an A+ she makes learning anatomy super easy! I HIGHLY recommend her! Yes you will have to study a bunch because anatomy is a hard subject but she offers a ton of extra credit! She is also accessible outside of class if you need further explanation. Take her!
