ENGL 145 Freshman Grade Earned: A General Ed 8:46 pm, Mar 3, 2013 Report Evaluation |
Overall, I would say this class is just a fine class. It is not too difficult or time comsuming, but effort must be done to get an A in the class. However, PK clearly lets students know her expectations (she is clear, gives sample examples of A papers)she gives you a comprehensive list of all assignments, due dates, essays, and tests that will be completed throughout the quarter. A total of 4 of essays must be done, 3 of them are 3-4 pages, and the final is 8-10 pages. She is not an easy grader, but I have gotten A-'s on all papers and i would say that I am a fairly good writer, but nothing special. With hard work you can get an A. There are nightly reading assignments that do take some time, but are not too hard, and their are random short quizzes on the reading assignments, so you do actually have to read. Overall, this class is not easy, but it is not that hard, effort has to be done to do well on essays, but this class I would say is just fine, and she would be an okay teacher to take. | |

Interesting lady, spends a lot of time talking about her dog and ranting on about random things. We had three papers to write, all 3-4 pages long, one quiz on fallacies and a 10 page research paper as our final. | |

Great teacher, great teaching style, great class. Unfortunately the department decided that we should use a compilation book instead of reading individual novels for the "Great Books" series. This really does not make any sense to me, but do not let that dissuade you from taking this class. | |

PK's class is really mellow and lax. Go to office hours because she gets inside your head and can really help. I improved throughout the quarter and I think she gave me the benefit of the doubt because I worked hard to get better. The only work is preparing, outlining, and writing essays and a 10-12 page research paper. Not that bad but show PK that you're trying your best especially in office hours. | |

PK is an okay professor. During the first few weeks of the class I felt like I wasn't learning anything new at all. Really you are just relying on what you already know about writing in this class. Over all I think it was a fairly easy class. PK can be pretty helpful but sometimes she will take your topic on a tangent that you don't want when you ask her for help. But she gives really easy in class quizes on the reading she gives and gives you plenty of time on essays. She was a fair grader and was a funny person in general. She talks about her dog way too much and will stop class so you can look at the pretty sunset. | |

Her class is really willy nilly, and she likes to do a lot of random sh*t. You have to read a ton of articles, and do a lot of pointless things in class. With her grading on papers you have to pick up on what she likes; topic sentences and out there info. She's a bizarre grader, but if you can hone in on what she likes to see, you'll do well. Also, you can definitely miss her class. She says you get 3 absences before you get half a grade drop, i got B's on all my papers, a C on the midterm (One page essay about how to use ethos/pathos/logos in your 2nd paper), and missed 10 classes or more. Some how I walked away with a B. Overall, I wouldn't recommend PK, but she's not the worst teacher to have either. | |

PK is pretty chill. She is down to earth and not boring in class. I mean the subject is boring as hell and you wont learn much but to fulfill a GE, i would take her again. She is not as hot as everyone claims, but she is lookin good for her age so id be down cos of that. She is not a hard grader, i am terrible in English and in the writing field. I managed to get a B+ and a B on my first 2 papers and an A- on my third paper. Will prob get a A on my research paper. Overall her class is chill, guaranteed B if not A. I would take her for Eng 145 again without running the risk of getting some terrible English teacher. Dont RISK taking someone else unless you KNOW they are good. B+ overall | |

Do not take this teacher. She doesn't teach you anything and acts really ditzy and then grades your papers really hard. She doesn't explain what she expects of you. She showed us what an "A" paper looked like at the very end of the quarter, and it wasn't even that good. It was about the same quality of writing as mine and I got Bs on all of mine. My friends who also took 145 from other teachers had way easier assignments. I hate this lady, | |

PK is nice. SHe sucks at teaching. class is a waste of time, yet mandatory. she asks realyl stupid questions that a 5th grader can answer. Class consists of sitting there, listening to her ramble about random shit that has nothing to do with the class and then she has you get in groups nearly every day to discuss random topics. her essays are exactly like english 134. EXACTLY. i used some of my same essays and jsut reworked them. She has quizzes that consist of normally one question that she pulls out of her ass but are really specific so be sure to do your reading. Dont print out the articles she tells you to, youll never use them in class and its just a waste of paper and ink. Essays arent hard, but shes vague and doesnt really tell you what she wants you to write about. i got a 70% on my first essay because i wrote on the wrong topic. not because im stupid, but because she didnt clearly define what she wanted. | |

Worst teacher I have had at Cal Poly by far. This is my only C at Cal Poly and I have received an A in every other English class I have taken. She is doesn\'t show up to office hours, when I made an appointment to meet up with her she was \"sick.\" And she was sick often. Always let us out of class very early (it was a two hour class) which was awesome until classmates and I noticed it started to effect our grades since we weren\'t learning what we needed to know. Basically it all comes down to your first essay. Make sure its amazing and you can write shit for the rest of the quarter and she\'ll give you decent grades. If you mess up on the first essay like I did, no matter how hard you try and improve she already is biased towards you. good luck. | |

This professor held great discussions every class. The classes were very enjoyable, but when it came down to needing her help she was not readily available. I ended up with a c in the class and it was very frustrating because she failed to show up to many of her office hours and she gave my previous papers back the day before the next ones were due. | |

First off, PK is a hot cougar. Or at least I wish she was a cougar. She\'s a pretty easy grader, she\'s enthusiastic, she allows you to revise your papers, and she\'s easy to talk to. We did 3 essays and a 1 page summary. She didn\'t make us do the other 1 page summary that we were supposed to do. Although she can get off-beat at times, her lectures will help you a little with your writing. | |

ENGL 253 Senior Grade Earned: B General Ed 4:04 pm, Jan 12, 2010 Report Evaluation |
PK was a pretty cool teacher. Though she was consistently late (read: every single day) and often dismissed class early, ENGL 253 is such an easy class that 4 hours a week is overkill for covering the material. She also brought her dog, Doodles, to class almost every day. Meh...considering no one really cares about English GE\'s she does a decent job keeping everyone entertained, but there was never a week the entire quarter that all four hours of lecture were necessary, and so the class started to drag a lot by the end. I\'d take her again, don\'t get me wrong. She\'s a solid \"B\" teacher. | |

ENGL 253 Junior Grade Earned: B General Ed 1:37 pm, Dec 28, 2009 Report Evaluation |
I had this class four times a week, for 50 minutes. Every day she showed up 10 minutes late. She was bad about returning papers and a complete ditz. It really lowered her credibility and I lost my respect for her. She made up words all the time, for someone who loved the English language. I guess it was an easy class, but definitely not worth the money we pay. We just all got really annoyed with her. I wouldn\'t reccommend her. | |

ENGL 253 Junior Grade Earned: A Elective 3:08 pm, Dec 17, 2009 Report Evaluation |
She\'s really personable and fun in class. It keeps things interesting but at times she can be unprofessional. She teaches things in a really straightforward manner. She doesn\'t try to fool you with anything in class or any of her test questions. As long as you always take time to develop an argument and truly examine the text you are reading and include this examination/argument in the assignments you\'ll do very well in the class. There is one midterm and one final, which are pretty easy. Take the signification questions very seriously, and remember to develop an argument in your responses even if the instructions dont say to do so. There is a one page write up do every week that is actually pretty fun to do. There is a lot of freedom in her assignments, so you get to have fun with them. | |

Patricia Kuznetsoff is an "ok" teacher, no more and no less. She doesn't clarify what she exactly wants for her essays that she assigns and is very scatterbrained when it comes to assignments and class topics. The readings aren't hard, and there is almost no homework (other than some short 1 page essays). Decent teacher, easy grade if you do the work. | |

PK truly maintains a passion for English, and more importantly for her students. You will definitely become a stronger writer out of this class if you chose to take the challenge upon yourself. Even if you do not like writing, the class is not impossible --just show up to class and you will probably get a B. PK gives you plenty of room for creativity and growth. I highly recommend this class. | |

ENGL 253 Sophomore Grade Earned: B General Ed 7:02 pm, Mar 14, 2008 Report Evaluation |
There's a one page essay due every week, she's an easy grader for those and you begin to like writing it, especially compared to the two big papers (3-4 pages) you have to write for the class. She grades pretty hard on those. The midterm and final aren't cumulative and are moderate,(hard if you didnt read and you're a bad writer) She's a great person who loves her job and to read. She's passionate about the books you read in the class and gives great background information on the authors and basically anything you read in the class. She did dress like she's very young, but it wasn't that big of a bother. I had her from 2-4 but we usually went only till like 3:15. If you enjoy reading I would take her but it's a lot of work, but anyone who has taken her loves her. She's pretty off the wall and funny, so it made class enjoyable! | |

ENGL 253 Senior Grade Earned: C General Ed 6:32 pm, Dec 1, 2007 Report Evaluation |
Ok I waited and waited to take this class because I wanted to take it with Inchausti (which I should have done) and then I finally had to take it because nothing else would fit in my schedule. First of all, she needs to realize that we are in a SCHOOL and she is a PROFESSOR and what she wears is entirely inappropriate. Everytime I went to class I was shocked at her clothing. It seemed like as the quarter moved on, her skirt got shorter. I'm all for wearing what you want but god damn this isn't a strip joint. And, as a female myself, I wouldn't be comfortable wearing what she does and walking around campus late at night. I would be afraid someone would stop me and ask me how much for a hand job. Anyway, as to her teaching, in this class there is none. SHE DOES NOT TEACH. Every fricken day there's a presentation of the group who was assigned the book and THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO TEACH IT. How does that make sense? This isn't a book club. Then the final, midterm, and essays are ridiculous and she grades them insanely hard. I agree with the other people, I would have paid not to have her. | |

she is nice, and pretty hott for a grandma. She seems very enthusiastic about the material but does not challenge your intelligence, which is great if your just doing it to get it done. the first midterm is cake, but study some, you don't want to be the only one who got lower than a c. presentation is basic, but the final was somewhat tough. If you want to just cruise you'll get a B but if you put in a tiny effort you'll get an A. | |

you have to read in this class. but you cant avoid that with this ge. with that said, she is a great teacher to take for this course. your always reading something, but she never took the full 2 hours of class so thats chill. one midterm, a noncumulative final, and one super easy presentation on one of the books in class that i just copy and pasted from wikipedia. she really doesnt care where the conversation goes in class. but sometimes she would emphasize something weird that would be on the test. it was random. but i literally had my notes just sitting on the floor in the class and she didnt care. shes relaxed, so take her. oh ya, shes kinda hot | |

ENGL 145 Junior Grade Earned: C General Ed 1:00 pm, Dec 20, 2006 Report Evaluation |
Kuznetsoff is easily the worst teacher I've had in my 2 and a half years at Poly so far. I had her for a 50-minute class 4 days a week, and this was the typical day: she comes in 10 mintes late (EVERY DAY), talks about her poodle and her "significant other" for 20 minutes, and the remaining 20 minutes are reserved for pointless second grade activites like looking at magazine ads or reading out loud. With classwork, she would assign big essays and then not tell us the directions, then get mad at students for not following directions (go figure). Even when we asked her specifically about the parameters of the assigned essays, she would mindlessly talk in cirles and not say anything important, leaving us with no standards to go by. To give an accurate assessment of her grading, I will tell you this: I have always considered writing as my best asset and English as my best subject, I wrote for a professional newspaper in high school and the Cal Poly newspaper in college(receiving high praise on both occasions), and I have always pulled A's (a few B's) on every writing assignment and essay I've ever had. With Kuznetsoff? Mostly C's and D's, coming out to a C- in the class. You might wonder how she helps students learn, right? Well, to assess that aspect of her, I'll tell you about one of my essays: I received a D on the first essay, and I was very surprised, obviously. I went to her office hours to talk to her about it and she kept trying to change the subject away from my paper, even randomly telling me about how her daughter had sex with a guy on the bus when she was in high school. Odd situation for a student to be in. Anyway, I finally got her to admit that she hadn't even read my paper, and she said that she didn't need to read it to give me the grade. Ridiculous. Cal Poly students don't pay over $1300 a quarter in tuition so we can write essays that no one reads and get C's and D's for our hard work. Kuznetsoff ain't worth a dime, I would pay to NOT have her. Avoid her at all costs. | |

I really enjoyed the books she assigned for this class and it wasn't as bad as I was expecting for "Great Books", which I've definitely put off on taking. Your grade is based on 2 essays, 1 group presentation, and a midterm and a final. It wasn't bad at all. Plus, if you take her during spring quarter, she wants to peace out ASAP and always cuts class short. | |

PK was a pretty good professor. The class is suposed to be heavy on reading, but it really is only about one book a week. You can get by pretty easily by reading only about 3 nights a week, and you only have to write 2 real papers. She was definately an offbeat teacher but theres nothing wrong with that. I'd recommend her. | |

PK is the biggest ditz! She tries WAY too hard to be your cool best friend, not just your professor. And while this may seem like a good thing, her credibility is severely lowered. She is somewhat enlightened when it comes to English, but she goes off on tangents about her cat that fetches (who the F cares!) and talks about her children horribly (she tells her friends that her kids are dull and makes fun of them for it- yeah, what a nice mother, eh?) She still wants to be a 20 yr. old, and she dresses and talks the part. In terms of class, grade based on midterm, final, journal synopsis + presentation, term paper, and reading logs (yes, you keep reading logs like your five yrs. old again). She is never quick at giving back tests, she gives bogus assignments,and she makes you read at least one book a week. Overall, if you can deal w/ her bubbly, ex-cheerleader attitude and you like reading a LOT, go for it. If you'd rather have someone you might actually learn something from and they act as the professional they're supposed to be, ditch PK. | |

'Kutzy' wasn't as bad as some of the other comments suggest. Yes we did have to read in class, but you could get away with reading a paragraph once every couple of weeks. Her midterm was pretty easy, so she made the final hard. For the final, she gave us quotes from the reading and we had to determine who said it, which author wrote it, and explain the context. We also had two take-home essays, which she graded fairly. If you go to EVERY class and take notes, you should do fine. Her test material comes DIRECTLY from the lecture. Kutzy was very energetic and always happy. Some thought that was annoying, but for me, I needed all the encouragement I could get to sit through another english class. | |

i haven't even received my grade for the quarter yet but i feel that it is necessary to give her a review. i do not rip on people for the sake of it, but P.Kuznetsoff really needs some work. she hardly ever prepares for class and grades papers really hard without giving you her grading criteria. when she says something controversial she'll play it off as a joke. as far as energy, she packs punch but you won't learn much and probably half of your reading logs she returns, she's never read. she is not a hard professor per say but she can't teach college english. we had a research paper due at the end of the quarter that compiled the majority of our grade. | |

I must be missing something here. These other evaluations are practically glowing with nice things. I found her to have a superior attitude and to be an incredibly difficult grader. The work load is not that bad but when you get your papers back pretty much everybody found their grade to be incredibly low and unfair. I reallly wish that I had taken another professor for this class. The novels themselves were interesting, but the way she teaches and the unfair way she grades almost ruined literature for me. | |

This is a great class. The professor is very clear and nice. There is no extra work and she's very fair. You only have to read 2 books for the quarter and there are no tests on the books. The mid-term was a take-home and there was no final, just a research paper. There are three papers total and you basically get to write about anything you want. The professor is really nice and laid-back. She always let us out of class early. I totally recommend this professor! | |

This teacher doesn't even have her doctorate, she comes to class right out of the swimming pool. She is cheery and excited at the beginning of class as well as at the end or when she gives up and lets us leave early. But during the actual part of the class, she is less then excited about what she is teaching... how to write a paragraph...because it is remedial english.. which is a big pain.. but if you didn't do well on the placement test. YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT! I do hear from her more advanced literature students that she has a few more brain cells than i may give her credit for... but when it comes to remedial english, she does not like teaching it. Since the class is a remedial class I personally think that she should be excited and motivating to us because of our low test scores, yet she isn't. Those who do take English 102 with her should be glad to hear she doesn't give much homework if any at all, she assigns paragraphs for the first 5 weeks and then finally starts with the essays which are only 4 of them starting at week 6. She grades all of the essays very difficultly, yet all you need to pass her class is a "Credit" from a profolio at the end of the year and a pass from her. She enjoys ending class early and pretty much doesn't care if you don't attend class. So my advice to those who take her class is just to be prepared for a some what of an easy ride, yet a tedious, boring, and tiring ride none the less. | |

she is by far my favorite professor. i took her for 350 and i liked her so much i took her 253 class the next quarter! she loves literature and her passion will rub off on you. she is a tough grader on the term paper she assigns but if you go to office hours she is extremely willing to help. i think the best compliment i can pay her is she made getting up for 7am class during winter quarter worth it! i only missed one class the whole quarter and i am not a morning person. if you get a chance to take her, DO IT! | |

ENGL 350 Junior Grade Earned: D General Ed 1:36 pm, Jul 8, 2004 Report Evaluation |
PK was awesome! I can honestly say, I am not much of a reader or writer for that matter, but she was able to really get you interested in the material. She created a classroom where everyone felt comfortable to participate. It was a ton of reading, but well worth it. We read a lot of classic novels that I think everyone should have taste of. She can be a tough reader, so do not start making up information, she can tell. If you have to do reading logs, make sure to pull small quotes pertaining to your topic in your journal. She likes to know that you are really relating your entry to the book. Also, participate in class. When she asks someone to read, do it! It is not that bad, and she really does appreciate the effort. If you have to take a C4 for your GWR, take her! She is amazing! | |

ENGL 253 Sophomore Grade Earned: B General Ed 1:36 am, Apr 20, 2004 Report Evaluation |
Patti is an awesome teacher. Even though the class was early in the morning, she always kept me awake with her enthusiasm. You have to read about one novel a week, so make sure you keep up. There were quizzes for most of the novels, and two synopsis papers that weren't too hard. There is one midterm and one final. The one thing that is tough is that the paper is due on the day of the final, so in total 55% of my grade was determined on the last day. If you like those odds, take this class. | |
