Reviews of professor Karen Viskupic

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Karen is a good teacher. The course is structured so that you have 4 tests. The first 3 tests are taken as an individual and as a group later in the week. The two scores are then averaged, so the tests are pretty nice that way. Participation is worth a lot, so the clicker stuff is serious. The material is broad but not difficult. Average effort  A

The lectures are really boring and really vague. She moves really fast. She does reef polls for credit so go to class as much as possible, but you won't learn anything from lectures. I learned the most from the labs. The lectures are vague and there is no homework for the whole class ever. But the tests are REALLY REALLY HARD. SO HARD.

An easy A as long as you do most of the reading. Professor Viskupic was always available outside of class and committed to making sure every student understood the material.

Good lecturer, Karen uses iClicker which was worth like 10% of the grade though. Very little homework, maybe one small assignment every 2 weeks. The class was very simple, just find the online powerpoint and profit. Good student help hours, easy to communicate with.

I'm gonna be honest, I never opened my textbook. Karen's lectures cover everything she expects you to know on the test, and she often posts supplemental material that clarifies the complicated things. If you show up to every class and take good notes, this class will be a breeze.

Be prepared for boring lectures. She is a very nice professor and accommodating, but you will learn mostly from the labs. Make sure you fill out the study guide and study for exams because her questions are very specific. The exams also have a lot of content and sometimes extra credit questions are available.
