CollegeShe was a very good lecturer, but the tests were unreasonably difficult and not curved. The averages were surprisingly low for every exam.
Karly is disorganized and not a good professor. I was excited for Channel Islands but was let down by her poor lectures, exams focused on obscure paper details, reading slides, and taking points off without helpful feedback. Often late, making the class feel lazy. Take with another prof.
She's a nice person but just not a good professor. She tests on obscure facts rather than the core concepts of the course. Also she's not really researching or working in this field anymore so it's kind of like none of us (including the professor) knows why she's teaching…
Wanna say something for Karly, she's not the best prof. in terms of teaching skills. But she does care about the atmosphere and delivery. Offer EC opportunities and round up scores that help you succeed. She's just so new to teaching so if you met any problems just email her your concerns, always with solutions make you happy.
The course overall was very unclear. The shifting due dates as well as the omission of an assignment and an added quiz and exam was very frustrating. The lecture slides had very little content and the exams were poorly formatted. Professor Miller was very kind and passionate, but seemed disconnected from the course and unresponsive to feedback.
Couldn't agree more that it is obvious she is a new prof. I was so excited for this class but her tests and quizzes are pretty bad. She doesn't provide any study guides but asks extremely niche questions on things that she briefly mentions once in lecture. The class is disorganized and she does not respond to student feedback.
