Reviews of professor Amy Kaminsky

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
I will not lie I was pretty confident about taking this class- but since having taken it my confidence isn't all there anymore. The classes are lecture heavy though they are informative she does not take that much time to go over a topic once its already passed. That said, There is not room for improvement or revisions for projects.

Awesome Professor, she really cares to help her students become better speakers. The class is not super hard and as someone who does not like public speaking, I can say that this class actually helped. Total of 3 Speeches and the last one is just a grade booster, and 1 private interview.

Kaminsky is all over the place. She was unclear about projects and test content, would make a kahoot with nothing that was actually on the exam, and would get furious if the class asked questions. Also, she is very picky with her grading to the point if your paper is not stapled you will get points off, even if she doesn't tell you to.

Had Kaminski for public speaking, she really makes the class easy and honestly fun. Really helps you learn to write and give a speech. This class is an easy A and you will get something out of it as well.

She is very kind and gives helpful feedback. She had clear expectations for each speech, and as long as you do what she asks, you will get an excellent grade. 3 speeches, a midterm, final, and 3 quizzes made up our grade. Many of the questions were not clear in what they asked, you could argue which one is right, and some were based on opinion.

course had good useful information but Dr. Kaminsky is a hard grader. Gives a lot of feedback but never seems pleased. Quizzes, midterm, and final were all difficult (based on online textbook reading not on what's taught in class). Also gave us a 30 minute group presentation the week before finals which was overwhelming as a class of all freshmen.

Kaminsky is a very sweet lady. From day one you can tell she cares about everyone's success. She also is organized and clear with instructions. Also very approachable...Do NOT miss class though. If you miss three classes then you go down an entire letter grade. She does not take kindly to tardiness or absentees. She takes the class very seriously

Kaminsky is a very complicated professor. She will tell you one thing for the test and put terms that were never discussed before in class. You need to read the book (but honestly don't think it helps) and she will always argue with you if you feel the you were right. Overall, don't take this class because the exams are meant for a 400 level class.

Amy posts nothing on D2l. like actually nothing. the tests are nothing like the notes we took during class. also we are graded on like 4 things through out the whole semester. I literally do not know when anything is due. The only upside to taking her class is you get off for Roshashunah.
