Reviews of professor Katharine Putney

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She's a really good person, but her class is kinda unorganized. Her tests are also really hard because she has a lot of questions that have multiple right answers and they're graded in a difficult way. She does mental health days though which is nice.

Dr. Putney is kind and considerate. Sometimes she can be a little scattered but I think the longer she teaches the more organized it will get. I like her a lot and she is passionate about plants! I would take another class with her. She cares a lot about her students and it shows.

Great professor, she cares about what she's teaching about and will take time out of her day to zoom with you if she is not in her office. The labs are mostly group projects are engaging and interesting, for the most part. I would recommend her.

Dr. Putney is a great professor. I am usually not interested in plant based biology but she made the field botany class very interesting and enjoyable. While the class its self is terminology heavy she does an amazing job at explaining it and is willing to work with you if you need help. 10/10

Dr. Putney has been a pretty good professor for my first BIO class at Wofford. She is very willing to help you outside of class and attending her office hours can be really beneficial. Her tests are somewhat difficult but looking over slides from the lecture, study guides, and the textbook will make the tests a lot easier. She is very passionate!!

Wonderful lady, terrible teacher. Has no idea how to teach a biology class. Spent too much time on elementary concepts and none on the expansion. Good luck. Dont forget to check the class site. Also, the tests suck. You might know the material, but those questions are written so its still a ¼ chance. Say a prayer and buckle up.

This class was unorganized and oftentimes what was done in the lab didnt relate to the class. Her teaching style is just horrible. She isnt passionate about everything she teaches and puts this class on the back burner compared to the other courses she teaches. She grades very subjectively too so if you dont write her answer its wrong.

She is a nice person, but a terrible professor. She is unable to communicate ideas clearly to students and is very disorganized. I learned nothing in this class which is frustrating considering I am paying for an education.

Putney cares about what she is teaching; however, she is unorganized in lectures & relies on the TA in labs. The material is simple enough (literally just evolution & Darwins finches) but the tests are not a reflection of what is learned in class. But she rewards hard working students and puts a lot of extra credit on final exam.
