COMM148 . Elder K 1 Year, 2 Months Ago

Katie is the best professor I have had in my entire college career. She is a fantastic lecturer, she is engaging, funny, interesting, and does a great job integrating course material into conversations of real world situations. She's extremely knowledgeable and is very eager to chat with students. Take her classes! She's the best.

Her lectures were interesting and it was very clear what we would be tested on. The mandatory study guides ended up being super helpful. She is really kind and wants everyone to do well.

She substituted for another teacher halfway through the quarter, but made the transition very smooth. Concepts were explained clearly and had helpful examples, which made the content easier to understand. Tests were chill for the most part.

Literally the Lebron of Profs. Easy class, interesting lectures, extremely helpful, and very personable. I genuinely don't think it's possible to be a better prof than this.
