Reviews of professor Rebecca Kreitzer

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
We didn't get our midterms back until after LDOC and while we were told all we had to do was "have the right idea", the midterm was graded very harshly. Many of my answers had feedback like "excellent job, 2/5". It was also mostly graded by TA's. Everyone I've talked to about the midterm felt their grade didn't reflect their performance.

She showed up over an hour late for final, didn't let TA's know she would be late, handed out 50ish exams and let students start the exam while others were still studying, when she finally brought in the correct exams pages were missing. Overall, biggest show of unprofessionalism I have seen at UNC.

Prof. Kreitzer is the most disorganized professor that I have ever encountered at UNC. While she seems passionate about the content she teaches, it is impossible to reach her by email, even in dire situations. She is not able to balance her workload, and it rubs off on her students.

Professor Kreitzer is a very knowledgeable and is a nice lady. However, she's disorganized and doesn't respect her students' time. We barely got our midterm back before the final and she showed up 1 hour late to the test without notifying anyone (including TAs) of her situation. I honestly did like her, but it's clear this semester was difficult.

Dr. Kreitzer is a really interesting lecturer and gives you a great overview of politics and policy in general, her class is really large so attendance isn't taken and all the info she goes over are on the slides she publishes first week of the year so you aren't missing anything if you don't go to class, she takes forever to grade the midterm

I loved Dr Kreitzer's class! I thought her way of breaking the policy brief up into parts to keep us on track and provide flexibility was super helpful. Her lectures could sometimes be boring and drag on a bit because there was not much engagement, but overall she makes it very clear what you need to know. Midterm and final were writing but not bad

Professor Excuses. Gave us our midterm grade after LDOC and was an hour and 15 minutes late to the final. Class was easy but she made it frustrating.

Prof. Kreitzer was one of the most enthusiastic and intelligent professors I have ever had, but that was constantly pushed to the side to make way for the pure frustration this class gave me. Grades took FOREVER to come back, and when my final grade did come back, it was put into Connect Carolina wrong and had to be changed. Which took forever.

Prof Kreitzer cares about her students and is great at putting vocab/concepts into real-life context. The class is composed of a few "low-stakes", easy assignments (that really boost your grade), a midterm exam, and a final exam. If you go to class and look at the slides (which are nicely organized), you'll do good in this class.
