Reviews of professor Rebecca Oliphant

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Attendance isn't mandatory but she has daily current events that is a big portion of the exam that are not on the slides. She has a great attitude and gives great feedback on papers. She also does a podcast the week of the exam and basically goes through every question on the exam so you know what to study. Love her.

She was an easy A/B if you tried. Lectures made me wanna hit my head on a nail but attendance is mandatory. She is super annoying on grading and the group project is super tedious and she expects you to know everything about a certain country by the end. shes funny at first, the end i was dreading class every single day and skipped and lost points.

She's nice and most of the assignments aren't hard but she never provides rubrics so you are constantly confused on what to do, she's nearly impossible to contact outside of class, and she struggles to use Canvas or MH

I'm actually amazed she has bad reviews on here. She lets you out at least 15 minutes early everyday and the class itself is super easy. She gives a review before every exam where she outlines what you need to know for each question. She does take attendance for a grade and there is a group project where you're assigned your groups. HW is easy.

Nice person but unorganized & unprofessional. I thought I was taking B&E201, not Politics 101. Lecture is useless, but mandatory. She talks more about surgery and her life in Vietnam and her $14 knee surgery in Thailand. She did not show up to the final exam and if she makes a mistake it is on you not her. This should be an easy A but not with her.

Why does this professor teach at UK? If you have an issue theres no point of emailing, she will either not respond or reply with a sarcastic to bad so sad attitude. Theres no point in going to her office either, best of luck with this class! Chemistry is easier

Grades based on nothing; need to provide expectations and rubrics; rude and unprofessional; didn't learn anything at all as she just reads definitions off of slides; she found success by chance in the 70s and uses dated information;

Horrible professor. Don't take her! She assign assignments but doesn't put due date on them. So you can't find them on canvas!!!! miss 8 % of grade because of that.

Not tech savvy, no rubrics, contradicting statements and expectations, and all around the worst professor I have ever had. I completed undergrad at UK already and I never had a professor as terrible as she is in the 4 years I spent there. Now I am in grad school and she treats us like kindergarteners. Please avoid!
