Reviews of professor Marjorie Kruvand

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Most annoying teacher I've had my entire 15 years of going to school. She's a grumpy old lady and has very strong opinions. Her voice alone irks me. The amount of comments she makes on your papers are hilarious. Everything is her way or the high way, and has a very specific style she wants her students to write in. Doesn't grade hard. Just annoying

If you somehow get to meet her outside of class (very unlikely), she's actually kind of a nice person. As a teacher though, she's passive aggressive when you try to participate in class but she wonders why no one participates. Her assignments are pretty extra and I think she grades a bit on personal preference.

I'm not sure why Prof Kruvand has such bad reviews on here. I honestly loved her and felt that I learned a lot from her class. She gives very thorough and helpful feedback on all assignments, and the assignments themselves aren't even super difficult. She adapted to online school really well and is always open for feedback on her teaching style.

She is the rudest person I have ever met in my life. Extremely harsh on grading. Her instructions are not clear, but her critical comments can be super long. I do not recommend her ever!!! If I could rate below 0, I would. Just NO!!!

Professor Kruvand is a tough grader that gives out at least one assignment per week. Her feedback is really critical and can come off as rude at times. If you get easily offended by criticism, then you shouldn't take her classes. She's really passionate about her field, but people hate her for it :/

Stay away. She seems to know what she is talking about but has no teaching ability. Is really mean with feedback and unhelpful. She talks down to all the students and her lectures are very boring

I am not too sure why Professor Kruvand has gotten such bad reviews. When I took her class, she was firm but fair about the material. It helped me a lot, and she was always willing to guide people through it. Her class helped me realize how much I enjoyed journalism. Another thing I enjoyed about her was she always remembered her students :)

Hands down the worst professor I've had at UCSB. Incredibly rude and will take any opportunity to make you look bad in front of the class. Her feedback is not constructive. She's impossible to please. Do not take her classes.

She grades kind of tough. I got F's for two assignments. Very unclear guidelines and feedback. But she did start to relax on the grading late in the quarter, I think someone may have talked to her about this cause after that I got B's and one A- on the assignments. Overall, she's not horrible just tough on us for Zoom university.
