Reviews of professor Kristina Wagstrom

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
The class uses a flipped format. Read outside of class and work on problems in class. Projects aren't terrible, but can be time-consuming. Wagstrom is very understanding and really wants her students to succeed. Highly recommend her!

Dr. Wagstrom is one of the most understanding professors I have had so far at UConn. For intro to cheg, an infamous class, the class is still pretty difficult but she has been more than understanding for our circumstances. No exams or quizzes, your grade will be a hard grind of homework and projects. Projects are difficult, not much help given

While she is certainly engaging and tries hard, I also find her class poorly organized. The homework, daily handouts, and readings rarely seem to be related to one another very much. I also do not learn well with the "flipped classroom" she does. I find it hard to establish base material completely on my own so the in class work is confusing to me.

Her handouts were a godsend. She is very smart, don't get on her bad side she has no pity if you don't try.

Special Topics in Chemical Engineering: Advanced CHEG Seminar. This course is SUPER easy. You watch a weekly video lecture, writing a page reaction on it, and submit it. Do this 13 times and you get an A. You can turn in 3 late, but its so easy you don't really need to. Professor Wagstrom isn't really involved, she just oversees it.

Her lectures are not helpful, but it is very clear how to get an A. Go to office hours, she has a lot of them and start the work early. It is really time consuming and her grades for projects are full or no credit so make sure you get the right answers.

Decent lecturer and an understanding professor in general. But this class is a lot of work and could be made a bit more reasonable. I get it since it's a weed out though.

Wagstrom is pretty solid professor who really tries to experiment with the course to help the students. She teaches through flipped classroom, which is certainly not for everyone, but her lecture handouts help fill in what you might be confused on. Projects are straightforward too. The only real issue with Wagstrom is her exams can be pretty tough.

Gives an insane amount of busy work for a 3 credit, 2000 level class. Her projects make no sense and she does not help. You ask for help from her and she will only give condescending comments on what to do. Her voice is annoying and not helpful.

LOTS of work given for this class. I spent more time on this course than I did for a four credit class. Each week made me want to curl up and cry solely because of the workload. If you have a choice, pick a different professor and maybe you will survive the semester without crying about this class.
