Reviews of professor Kim Donaldson

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Kim Donaldson is a teacher that does not really teach. All she does is explain what a term is or a definition, but you will never see them on an exam. Instead, you will see unfamiliar topics that she most likely never taught you in class. The only way I ever learned a single thing in her class was when I looked up guides online.

Professor Donaldson is terrible at responding to emails, this was an online class so email was the only way of reaching her. She isn't very accessible. Course had very difficult tests every single week. Grade was based on tests, discussion posts, that's all. No other assignments. Terrible class, terrible professor, DO NOT TAKE!

There is a test every week and the homework is hard. Most of the answers are there if you google them for the tests.

Kim is a great teacher. She really cares about her students and their success. Show up to class because attendance is a part of your grade and she throughly explains all of the material. There are 5 quizzes worth 5% of your grade each, 5 online home works and a final. Best teacher. This class is an easy A if you pay attention and go to class.

I personally love Prof. Donaldson. She is excellent- she takes the time to ensure you understand the material she teaches. She's ready and willing to accept feedback, and she has plenty of office hours if you need to see her outside of class. But be careful-homework adds up over this course.

Most of our grade was based on one paper and she demands in-class discussion and participation on the most boring topics only interesting to her. She's set in her ways and was very uncompromising considering I took this class in Spring 2020 when classes were moved online due to COVID-19. Didn't budge on anything to help students's grades.

I absolutely loved taking this class online it was incredibly easy. She gave homework (which was pretty difficult) and a short 20 question quiz every week. Those were the only assignments that the class had- no exams, which was amazing. I did not interact with this professor at all because it was online but the structure of the class was great.

Overall good class, there are 4 exams that are worth 15% of your grade each for a total of 60%, homework and discussions are worth 20% each for a total of 40%. The discussions are fun and interesting to participate in and were my favorite part of the class. The tests were multiple choice and the homework was pretty light which was nice.
