Reviews of professor Karen Sladyk

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
The Human Assessment course is really enjoyable. Dr. Sladyk is such a gem. The course involves, a portfolio, 1 exam, self reflection and certification you take online. No homework except your portfolio that's due at the end of the semester. The only tough thing is the exam. Other than that, 100% on everything else.

Not a good teacher. She is a nice lady, but very bad at giving clear instructions to students. The few instructions she did give, were ridden with typos and grammatically incorrect. Unfortunately she is the only one who teaches these classes, so there isn't much choice. She also doesn't respond to emails, very frustrating.

Not helpful at all and if/when you try to ask for help on something she doesn't answer you for days and then when she finally does it is not helpful in any way. She only answers through text, phones calls and occasionally zoom. Does not give clear instructions and expects everyone to just know what she means or is talking about.

She is a nice lady but she is not clear regarding directions for the big portfolio or the exam. tough to ask her questions bc again she is not clear. you really have to attend class and pay attention if you want to pass.

She rarely explains anything in class. She has NO rubrics. She gets off topic every single class period, nothing relates to the actual topic. Isn't the best communicator, never uses her email or Plato. If I were you, I would NOT declare as a health science major or you'll be dealing with her all 4 years. I wouldn't take any classes with her.

For Human Assessment you have the one big portfolio and she doesn't give you a rubric of what she wants. Ask people who've taken her class before if you want to know what she expects on the portfolio. Very unclear directions and she always rambles in class. Your grade depends on the portfolio.

she was my advisor and professor. I struggled with mental health issues and wasn't able to attend class for a couple of weeks. I had a note from a professional. She refused to read the note and would not offer any help or guidance. I had to withdraw from the whole university on a medical leave due to her actions

Has made my college experience as my advisor so challenging.  Never able to help me choose classes, I figured it out myself.  She is unprofessional and did not respond to my emails, texts, or calls for 2 months for a document I needed singed.  Class structures are confusing, but she will slap an A on most things. Good luck you'll see what I mean.
