Reviews of professor Karin Patzke

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I am lucky enough to have had Dr. Patzke for three courses. She is very passionate about the subjects she teaches and a thorough lecturer. She is truly a caring, funny woman who will take plenty of time to chat with you during office hours and guide you to success. For upper-division courses, go to the WRC! A true gem among the Studies department.

I absolutely love Dr. Patzke. She is an amazing professor and person. I reached out to her several times and she was extremely patient and caring to explain concepts to me that I was curious about. If you go to her office hours and show her that you care, she will go the distance to help you and teach you so much. Hands down one of the best.

You could pour blood, sweat, and tears into a paper you're really proud of and still get a poor grade. Even when I felt like I did the best I could possibly do and sought help from the writing resource center (from which I received positive feedback), I still got poor evaluations. This professor expects that your world revolves around her class.

Dr. Patzke truly cares about her students. Do the assigned readings, come to class prepared to discuss them and you will do fine. She is always open to meeting during office hours, and genuinely seems to enjoy interacting with and helping students.
