Reviews of professor Julie Borkin

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Dr. Borkin (gently insists on Julie with students) is genuine with students in and out of class! Amazing active listener. More than willing to help if you ask (or if you struggle/look out of it - she'll ask how you're doing). Very knowledgeable, challenges students' critical thinking, poses interesting questions. Regular reading/writing assignments

She really wants to help students, and she is willing to adapt to fit what the class needs. She is really kind.

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Borkin! She genuinely cares about her students and loves to see us succeed. Before taking her public speaking class I was terrified of public speaking, but now I am comfortable with it. She is truly a wonderful woman and professor, and she is always available for extra help.

Dr. Borkin taught graduate level courses prior to joining the TU (undergraduate) communication department. She is extremely well versed in her areas of expertise, but sometimes it feels like she is talking to us as if we should be graduate students, so the course can be difficult. She is also extremely kind-hearted and a joy to study under!!

Borkin is a very kind woman who wants her students to succeed. As long as you get over the hurdle of figuring out her confusing setups on Blackboard for where to find your work, you will be fine. Half the class is group work, though, so get ready to be talking and interacting with your classmates a lot.
