Reviews of professor Lauren Kopajtic

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Kopajtic is clearly very knowledgable, approachable, and kind. She made nuanced philosophical concepts easier to understand by relating them to personal stories and she always encouraged students to share their opinions. She's a bit of a harsh grader, but not excessively. Take her if you can!

Dr. Kopajtic was very understanding this whole semester, and made changes to the syllabus in order to make sure the classes' needs were being met (changing % and due dates). Her grading on papers is on the stricter side, but she is extremely fair and gives incredible feedback on each assignment. Would recommend her for any philosophy class!

She is amazing at explaining hard concepts in really simple ways. Young and understands that this isn't your only class, and understanding people take it for the credit. Really cares about everyone getting good grades and understanding material. Whether you like philosophy or not, if you have the option, you need to take her!

She's so incredibly smart and not at all pretentious or stuffy. You definitely have to put in the work for a good grade, but the workload is pretty standard for a phil class. Very nice and approachable, one of the best profs at this school!

She's incredibly smart, funny & cares about her students a lot. She breaks down philosophy in a way that is easy to understand even if it isn't your forte. We had a weekly 200 word reading response, a midterm paper (5-7 pages), a final paper (5-7 pages), & an in class presentation. She gives great feedback and is super available for help! TAKE HER!

She's brilliant and passionate as a professor. Her lectures are organized, well-prepared, and interesting. She grades essays hard, don't BS them. Also, lots of reading 30+ pages (of dense philosophy/literature) a week minimum.

Professor Kopajtic was a great professor. She broke down and thoroughly explained many philosophical concepts in her lectures. She also encouraged and facilitated discussions in her class. She's somewhat of a tough grader, but she gives really helpful feedback on the papers. Also very kind and accessible outside of class.
