Reviews of professor Evelyn Rynkiewicz

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Prob the nicest prof I have had so far! She made the class interesting and you really learn a lot. There was one test (midterm) a final presentation on a "topic" of your choice, and a panel discussion. Everything is simple and straightforward. I HIGHLY recommend this class. Make sure you participate when she tells you it will count!!

This class was relatively straight forward. She gives a lot of reading assignments but not all are required. We did a discussion panel and a final presentation for class. She did Kahoot's to quiz us during class for fun sometimes which I appreciated as it made the class more interactive even when remote learning.

Participation matters and is graded but she'll keep talking and not let people participate enough.

Group work heavy, but not too dreadful. Very nice and direct instructions. Not much hw. Tests were open book and given plenty of time to take (3 hours I believe). Pretty easy

Took her for the Biodesign course and didn't actually work on the challenge until the last 3 classes of the semester. There was a lot of unplanned busy work. She does have a lot of connections in the industry, which was a plus.

My class worked as a Biodesign class. Professor was very knowledgeable of the subject and always willing to help the students. We had a group presentation for half the semester, which weighed heavily on our grade. If you like group projects I would take her class, but I personally did not. Besides that she is a very good professor!

Dr. Rynkiewicz was one of my favorite professors this semester. She made the transition from in-person to online so nice. Incredibly kind, intelligent, respectful, and understanding. The homework, lectures, and projects required thinking and creativity but she was supportive, replied to any questions quickly, and encouraged us all. Amazing!

Great Professor, I learned a lot about climate change and she's super sweet and funny. Ecology was fun and enjoyable because we were able to talk a lot about sustainability and pollution which is what a lot of us students were naturally interested in. Take her if you can

Such a great professor! You can tell she really knows and loves what she's talking about. She was also super understanding and supportive when it came to helping us find resources for our projects. The biodesign class was so well structured and interactive with super fun labs and relevant lectures that were inspiring. Would definitely recommend.
