Reviews of professor Kate Votaw

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
She has been one of my all-time fav teachers. Very funny if a little overly energetic. She does holistic grading, meaning you just have to argue for what grade you want. Lots of readings to prep for class. Very interesting course. She will always let you leave class 5+ min after you should, so plan ahead.

Votaw is truly a good person, she is very reasonable at accommodating to your needs as a student. She does have high expectations, where you do need to read a lot, and come to class prepared, but if you want a good grade it is achievable. She really doesn't give out A's but anyone should be able to get a B or higher as long as you apply yourself.

I really liked Kate's teaching style and personality. However, her grading really stressed my out. She "ungrades" which one would think then it'd be easy to get an A, but no. To get an A you are going to have to participate in class discussions ALOT and write really good papers. I did enjoy the class though.
