I LOVED Professor Rostek. She is honestly the sweetest professor I've ever met. She's always super willing to help out and she will set up times outside of office hours for you if you're struggling. Lectures had a tendency to be confusing at times, but she's always willing to clarify things and she makes sure you understand everything.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Rostek is among the greatest instructors I've had the pleasure of learning from over the past 5 years. You can tell that she REALLY DOES want to help you and see you all succeed! Always has a smile on her face; totally fabulous!Rate My Professors ↗
Best professor I've had the pleasure of having at UW. She is very clear about what she wants you to know. On tests, she makes recent material worth less points. It is a class that is way easier if you attend. Definitely take a class with her if you have a chance. Loved her!Rate My Professors ↗
Great professor. She is organized and explains concepts really well. Does a lot of examples in class which makes it very interesting. Tests are a bit tricky, but fine if you do the prob sets. A great class that ties into a lot of other classes and things outside of school. I bought but never use the book. Highly recommend the class and professor!Rate My Professors ↗
