Reviews of professor Lora Kile

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She was an alright professor, the class kept me on my toes because falling behind in her lectures could throw off your entire semester. Her attendance policy sneaks up on you, and can kill your grade. Class also seemed like an information dump for the first part of the semester so just bear through the second part was much more interesting

God-awful. I asked a week before exams if I could meet with her sometime to discuss my current grade. She gave me one hour one day of that week to meet and when I said that wouldnt work she acted so put out and actually said "well I have a full time job you know, I cant just meet whenever." If that doesnt tell u wat u need to know idk wat does

I wasn't the biggest fan of her as she seemed pretty unprofessional and did not seem to have extensive knowledge of the subjects she was discussing. Honestly, the TAs offered more useful knowledge than she did. The quizzes and papers are extremely easy as long as you have a basic understanding of what was in the lectures.

Horrible teacher. I was excited for this class to begin, but as weeks went by, it soon became clear that she had no idea what she was teaching. She mistaught on both the Yoruba and Judaism, which students had to call her out on. The assigned reading is by Prothero, a biased author, and she nor the TA read the book before the semester. 0/10

If you're wanting to take this class because of interest, don't. The reading was the only enjoyable thing. The grading on papers was extremely lax, and you don't have to show up to class if you're smart enough to figure out a way around the attendance credit. There's random extra credit sometimes which was a plus. Easy, but not a good course.

This class has the worst syllabus I've ever seen. I tried to look in it multiple times for class policy & it just wouldn't be in there. She often said or did offensive things and very clearly has no concept of the material at all. Multiple times my TA would fact check her in discussion group because she was so wrong. She also has mistakes on tests.

First semester she taught this class-it did not feel cohesive & I ended the semester feeling like major points about the topic were still elusive. Lecture is not interactive, & Ms. Kile tends to focus on things she's particularly interested in. Ms. Kile is friendly, helpful, enthusiastic & I believe the class will improve in subsequent semesters.
