Reviews of professor Kimberly Popendorf

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Absolutely amazing. If you have the chance to take a class with her DO IT!! She is the absolute sweetest and cares so much about her students. Dr. Popendorf goes above and beyond during lectures to try and explain everything in as much detail as possible. She also likes to draw out concepts which is really helpful. One of the best professors at UM!

Dr. Popendorf is fun and obviously loves her subject. Her lectures are entertaining and she communicates information better than most professors I've had. There are only a few grades in this class so study a lot and you'll do well. Hoping to take her again in the future

Dr. Popendorf is kind and very smart. She is willing to work hard for her students and is able to break down hard to understand concepts so that we were able to understand. She is a tough grader, but it is for your benefit. Really enjoyed this class! She is passionate and very knowledgeable about marine science.

She is the moment. Pretty lecture-heavy classes, but they're still interesting. Tests can be difficult as well, just make sure to study!

Popendorf is one of my favorite professors at Miami! I had her for both MSC 216 and MSC 111 this past year and she was amazing in both of them. You can tell she's very passionate about what she does. The MSC 111 curriculum and tests are reasonable, and the MSC 216 lab is easy and educational as long as you put in the effort.

Dr. Popendorf is such a kind and caring woman. Her passion about the topic is so apparent, so much that you come to love the subject yourself. She's very accessible outside of class, and takes time to make sure you are understanding the content. Tests are based on lectures more than the book so make sure you go to class and take notes.

Professor Popendorf is amazing. She is so kind and willing to help every student. Her class is lecture heavy, and reading the textbook is pretty much a necessity, but the class wasn't too difficult. Definitely recommend choosing her as a professor!
