Reviews of professor Tina Rupcic

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
The good thing about this class is that you have a total of about 6 assignments to hand in but you have to be present and participate in order to get on this teacher's good side. She takes it really personally if you don't attend her lectures and has made attendance mandatory for an online course during COVID19, not very considerate.

Tina Rupcic is such an expert of political theory. She is demanding while being very accessible at the same time. I am student with disability and she really did her best to properly accommodate the class for me. She provides taylored feedbacks, even if they can be timely. Overall, she is a very good professor. You should take her classes.

Best course I had this semester but make sure you attend class. There are a lot of things discussed that will be on exams and they are not recorded.

I got a C+ but I don't care because this prof is truly amazing. S/O to Logan the TA GOAT. Tina makes political theory so interesting. She gives her insights on the books which makes the readings deeper and much more appreciable. You will learn so much! You won't meet such a quality teacher twice. The grading was really tough that's my only con.

Dr. Rupcic gives clear feedback. She works extremely hard to double check her TA's corrections. To do well in this class, she expects her students to come prepared in class having done the readings and actively take notes. She is accessible in office hours. Her lectures are always captivating and spends a lot of time to debunk tough readings.

I took this teacher because she had good reviews but the class went nothing like I expected. She grades extremely unfairly. Midterm was fine but the final had absolutely nothing to do with the material she said was going to be in it. Short essays are also graded unfairly. Barely responds back to her emails.

Professor Rupcic is one of the best professors Ive ever had. She is very caring about her students and is very accepting to other peoples opinions. She made a topic that I knew nothing about very fascinating to me. Shes very passionate about what she does. If youre lucky enough to take her course, do it 100%.

Her lectures/recordings are great. I would have taken her again, were it not for her extremely strict assignment policies. 10% deduction for wrong editions, up to 10% deduction for formatting mistakes (not including word count deductions). Will never give extensions. Understandable for a normal class, but during COVID I think it's much too harsh.

incredibly smart woman, really knows what she is talking about and is passionate about it, however it is a very long slow class in my opinion. 3 essays, a final and pop quizzes - essays are incredibly demanding and difficult, grading takes forever to get back so you never know what to do for the next one/how to improve
liked her didn't love her!
