Reviews of professor Alena Kottova

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Worst prof I've ever had. She does not respect your time. She teaches useless content about history and philosophers through recycled lecture videos from COVID times. No in-class discussions in an ethics class... 
I tried to do well but it is impossible to learn from this prof. I can't believe I had to pay for this.

Horrible lectures, such low effort from Dr. Kottova I learned nothing about ethics but had to regurgitate useless facts for the midterm. Nothing we learned was applicable or relevant to my engineering degree. Avoid her at all cost. (or pay 100's of $ for old prerecorded videos and online quizzes with zero class time or discussions/ engagement)

Overall, this class was a huge disappointment. Get ready to learn everything except ethics! This class has the potential to be very meaningful to our careers, but then we end up with this teacher. Would love to see the class changed to be more relevant for us engineers.

She teaches ethics but hasn't thought through basic and obvious ethical questions. Probably because she spends too much time watching Stephen Colbert and other woke mind virus propaganda. You think she would knew better considering where she grew up. She's too political and hasn't thought about the course concepts from other perspectives.

Class should be changed if it is a program requirement.

Alena is a very sweet, upbeat and cheerful Czech lady, and in itself is a good prof, and would make a very lovable grandmother. HOWEVER, the course was a huge waste of time, money and energy; making us memorize useless facts about philosophy, which, frankly, not a single engineering student cares about, and are irrelevant to our careers. 1/10

This course is a joke. She spent too much time going over human history which I don't the point of doing that. The content in the class slides is what you could read from Wikipedia. I learned nothing throughout the course except a bunch of philosophy glossary. You can probably learn more from a documentary than this "University course".

She is a very kind and enthusiastic prof, however the amount of reading and writing for the course was a lot. It was entirely around AI ethics, which is not very useful to most engineering students. Some of the points made in lectures seemed old fashioned (and a little crazy..), but the grading was very fair and she was prompt to asnwer emails.

Alena is a very sweet lady, but unfortunately, she's been thrown into this position teaching a class that not a single engineering student cares about. She as a professor isn't bad, she's super upbeat and cheerful and really really tries to engage the class. Also marks super fair. Go into this class with an open mind and you might enjoy it a bit
