I would not recommend this professor for Risk Management. The expectations for assignments and exams were often unclear, which made it difficult to understand what was required to succeed in the course. I think the course could be improved with clearer instructions, better organization, and more consistent communication about expectations.PJM6015 2026-03-26 15:01:47 +0000 UTC
She's inprofessional and awful try to avoid her class if you can.PJM6015 2025-12-10 12:05:14 +0000 UTC
Kristen cares about students and makes herself available outside of class. She also uses examples from work and real life. She is not the easiest grader but she is fair and she makes her expectations very clear in class. Students who dislike her are pissed that they can not cruise through class with minimal effort and everything handed to them.PJM6015 2025-03-24 16:21:58 +0000 UTC
To much work need to be done in six weeks, don't choose her. She is f terrible and mean, I can't learn anything in her class and everything i do is sufferingPJM6015 2025-02-07 18:54:51 +0000 UTC
Don't be fooled by other reviews—this professor is a nightmare. She's excessively strict, mean, and does whatever she wants, regardless of how impractical it is. Classes are never finished on time and are often kept after class.This is all because she likes to chat and quickly get into the topic of the course without being serious.PJM6015 2025-01-31 00:02:36 +0000 UTC
A very good professor who will answer students' questions very patiently. Her final exams are given in class, but she will review the exams in week 5.PJM6015 2022-05-18 02:32:53 +0000 UTC
All assignments are group assignments. Group members were randomly assigned. Easy grader. Professor is friendly and replies to students' texts very fast. There is an in-person final exam before the end of the class, and every week, she will talk about the exam scope. The cell phone is not allowed to use during class. No breaks for her class.PJM6015 2022-04-11 05:33:32 +0000 UTC
Do not recommend. Lecture heavy, every other word is "umm". Lectures are taken straight from the textbook. Did not learn much.PJM6015 2019-04-23 19:54:38 +0000 UTC
I had taken Risk Management with her. She is exceptionally good with her lectures. All assignments are group assignment and she takes open book final exam. Her assignments really help to understand the subject in a more practical way.PJM6015 2018-05-23 16:57:31 +0000 UTC
The class was exceptional. She really inspires you and makes you understand everything, she takes the time to make sure each student understands her class. I will definitely take this class againPJM6015 2018-01-02 10:42:06 +0000 UTC
Kristen is a great professor. She inspires me as a successful woman and a disciplined professor. She gives her best to make students involve in the projects. I am more excited to be in her class which is so far the best class in my grad life.PJM6015 2016-11-16 15:31:16 +0000 UTC
