Reviews of professor Caroline Kocina

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Took her class based on all GOOD ratings and I am just wondering if this is the same person who has made my life hell this semester with unnecessary stress during Covid19 times saying-business as usual. Be prepared to read and write 2 papers every week based on news story that relates to chapter, 2 six page midterms and one final paper +discussion.

Prof Kocina is very funny, sweet and very caring.. but the lectures seem a bit unprepared and a bit all over the place. You can tell she is passionate about what she teaches but if you do not read the chapters good luck on being fully prepared for tests. There is also a 2 page paper due almost every week on current events which gets old QUICKLY!

Professor Kocina was great. Had her for the spring semester. We needed to turn a two-page paper related to the reading and the news, and it was pretty easy criteria. The final was 6 pages, but there was not a lot of homework. Her lectures were interesting (it was a night class so it helped that she had a lot of energy).

Kocina is great! She cares about her students, gives extra credit. Lectures are interesting and learn a lot. Gives study guides and is very approachable. Id take her again if I could! I learned a lot and she made it fun. I recommend her, even for the student that dread political science like me.

Literally the best professor I've ever had. I wish she taught higher classes just so I could take her again.

She is the best. I failed first time with other professor. I hated government and never understood anything about it. Now I have interest in government and understand basics & passed with an A! Would recommend defiantly take good notes though! She gives a lot of extra credit which was greatly appreciated. Thank you Professor Kocina!!
