Professor Katsube is hysterical. She cares about the students and wants everyone to succeed. She understands that the topics and always asks if everyone understands. She will walk up and down the aisles of the lecture hall and call on you, so make sure youre paying attention. Overall, enjoyed her class.

Katsube is a little bit crazy and all over the place when she lectures but I didn't mind that too much because it kept me awake in class. The homework is not too bad and she gives you a chance to check it with her or the TAs so that you can almost always not miss any points on it. The exams were a little tough though.

Don't take any course with her. Midterms are easy and the final is impossible. Even with a low final average, she would not curve the class. She failed like 20% of the student in that class. If you have a choice, take it with another professor. Avoids her if possible.

She was always all over the place while lecturing and it was hard to follow example problems that she did in class. The content wasn't too bad but the exams were quite challenging.

Katsube will put you on the spot no matter where you sit! I sorta like that because it keeps me engaged. I think she is a little silly and you either love or hate her but I thought I learned a great deal from her! You can tell she is very sweet.

Dont take any course with her. the homeworks and quizzes are so easy, but the midterms and final exam is extremely hard. half of the seats were empty after the second midterm. she said there will be a curve because of the low average, but she never did that.

The midterms, homework, and quizzes were a piece of cake with 80% averages, but then she kills you on the final with a class average of 40%. If you have high midterm averages be prepared for an impossible final.

Her lectures are always entertaining. She is very quirky and likes to yell at people during class for talking and sleeping. She does a good job of preparing you for exams and the class should really be an easy A as long as you pay just a little bit of attention during lecture

Tests are pretty easy. She's not always very clear when explaining things. Don't fall behind because its hard to catch back up. The reviews she gives are helpful for the tests make sure you do them.

Homework, quizzes, and midterms were pretty easy if you went to class and paid attention. She made sure you knew what would be on the midterms. The final was tough though. Very long and hard to finish in time, which I'm guessing was her intention. Overall easy and straightforward but watch out for the final. She yells a lot too.

"Pop" quizzes were always on Fridays, that made it easy to remember when you should come to class. Homework is straight-forward, tests are not too hard. Katsube takes FOREVER!!!!!! to return tests

Comment:

She had pop quizes but all of them were on the syllabus for practice problems for that week so it was obvious what was going to be on it because you went over the other problems in class. Homework was helpful and her style was different but I would not say bad. If you show up to class and actually do the homework (not cheat online) you will be fine

She is a horrible teacher. Nothing she says is relevant and she makes it very difficult to learn. Constant pop quizzes so you have to go to her lecture. Her lectures consist of going over 1-2 practice problems for 55 minutes. Dont take her. I didnt have a choice.

Comment:

It's impossible to take her seriously, and her method of teaching is just pointing to a new figure from the book each week. I've learned way more from the textbook than from going to lecture. She gives random quizzes in lecture all the time so you have no choice but to attend her incredibly boring lectures. I wouldn't recommend her.

The wierdest professor that I have ever had by far. She would walk down the aisles and stop in front of random students just to say hi. She wasn't organized at all and it was very hard to follow her work. Tests were hard but decently fair.

I like her style of teaching. She picks quiz problems from practice problems on the syllabus, and goes over many examples. Midterms are challenging but usually fair. Finals are really rough but there's always a decent curve. She's very smart and knows what shes doing. Pay attention and show up to lecture and you'll be fine. Also had her for 430.
