Best prof! Incredibly knoweldgeable. She has a sense of humour and it is obvious she enjoys teaching. She cares about her student's success and is always available for help. She also offers us the opportunity to go to the lab in order to check out heart valves and such or to check out her research lab when we are learning about realted topics.
Carol loves the material which makes the class interesting! The final is cummulative (over 20 power points with 50+ slides each) very overwhelming!! If you attend class she gives you hints but she talks very fast! Make sure to do her study guides.
Great professor! Very interesting and she her study guides help a lot! Make sure you do them! Probably the most important thing! Gives out some free marks!
You either love her or you.. well.. don't quite get her teaching/examination style (1 above or 2 above). The most intelligent, humorous, interesting, & passionate professor I have ever had. PPT's are long & she talks fast but I guarantee you will have the most fun in her lecture & never forget the stories she tells in order to get a point across.
Loved Dr. Kroeker. Very exciting lecturer, really captivates the student's attention for the full 50 minutes with her constant relevant anecdotes and analogies. High energy, gives everyone an opportunity for a great grade. If you make the effort, attend your lecture, labs and review sessions, she'll pretty much spoon-feed you an A.
Greatest prof i've ever had. She's hilarious, and keeps students engaged. There's alot of material, but she makes you want to learn. Her labs are also really cool. She's AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING. Highly recommend.
Awesome teacher! Best Prof I have had! She is so funny and keeps you engaged during class. Very quick to reply to emails. Her exams are fair! She is awesome and she makes the class so much better!
Talks SUPER fast and is very passionate about diseases. Hilarious and energetic even at 8 in the morning. She will wake you up for sure. She always tells you what you need to know for sure so attendance is a must! You better know what you are doing for exams because they can be tricky
She's really funny, nice, and knows her stuff. Always has a funny story to share. One thing I liked about her is that she always tells you what she will test you on the exam/what you need to know. She speaks very fast and sometimes isn't clear which is one thing I didn't like. Her exams are tough because you need to know precise details!
Hilarious helpful and amazing prof overall
She says okay all the time. 198 times in 30 minutes. Otherwise she's fabulous!
Dr. Kroeker is an amazing professor. She is super enthusiastic and passionate about what she teaches. I would take another class with her in a heart beat. I wish she taught other classes. I learned a lot from her. You must work hard to get the grade you want. The labs are actually not that bad compared to upper level labs. Just work hard!
Kroeker is fantastic! Extremely passionate about what she teaches and always makes the lectures fascinating and has a great story to tell about anything and everything! Her tests are tough if you don't love physiology or don't study the details. Wish I could have her for all my classes. Must take if you can!
Dr. Kroeker is by far one of the best, if not, the best professor one could hope for! She likes to test solely from her slides so she'll save you from having to buy the text and she is extremely passionate about the subject matter. Attendance is a must if you want hints on the exam questions. Outstanding prof overall!
Really gives you all you need to succeed in her classes, makes it interesting, she's happy to help in office hours. Read the study guides and know the answers to them and you'll do fine. Her MC questions are really hard, but if you know your content they're doable.
Would marry this woman if I could. Best teacher ever.
First off, I will say that you need to know your stuff for this class. It is not an easy pass. Her tests go, "a, b, c, 2 of the above, none of the above, a and b"so you really need to know your stuff. Otherwise, she's awfully hilarious and a greater lecturer. Her lectures were fun to attend, and she is very helpful. Just a tough exam writer.
One of the funniest profs ever. Her tests are really tough, memorize each slide of every powerpoint if you wanna get 90+ on the tests. She speaks really fast during lecture, make sure you attend because she gives hints about what questions are on the tests.
Literally the best professor I have ever had. Very intelligent and has excellent communication skills. Makes classes interesting, shows real passion. She gives hints of what to memorize for the exams. She does speak fast so have your notes ready. Reading ahead helps
great prof, come to lecture and start studying for exams at least the night before to do well. said okay 478 times in a 50 minute lecture, which is not okay. she really funny too i make laugh
She tells lots of stories in class which make things easier to remember. Very passionate but sometimes gets off track. Overall one of my favourite profs, highly recommended.
AMAZING PROF. Made this one of my favourite classes of my entire degree. So easy to listen to but talks super fast so you have to pay attention. Definitely need to take notes but she will let you know what is important. Great class!!!
Dr. Kroeker is without a doubt my favourite professor in the entire school. She truly cares about helping out her students and is extremely passionate about what she teaches. The course itself has a lot of material which can be overwhelming but she is hilarious and makes the material memorable, she also tells you exactly what you ned to know
Probably the best professor that I've had so far within doing my Kinesiology degree. She is ALWAYS full of life and she is very knowledgeable! Unfortunately there's a whole ton of content to remember but that's how the course is. However, Dr. Kroeker is very clear on what we need to know for exams! She's also a hilarious professor! TAKE HER!!
Hands down the best prof I have ever had! Dr. Kroeker is absolutely hilarious and so passionate about the subject. She gives great help and always tells you what you should know and what you should ignore for the tests. I've taken all of her courses and can honestly say she is the best!
Tons of content, but that's physiology for you. Really good about giving study reviews for exams, and letting you know what she expects for answers. Super enthusiastic and lots of fun. Have to pay attention in class or things won't make sense. Overall a great prof.
- LOTS of covered material - Slides can be vague, show up to expand on point form - Tests are EXTREMELY similar to sample Qs and some are on it - She is willing to really help and answer your questions - One of my favourite and most difficult classes to get A, but not hard to do decent - My only A- alongside all As
She makes an 8am lecture surprisingly fun. Her sense of humour really helps staying awake during an early class. She covers a LOT of content in one lecture and talks SUPER fast. Many of the questions on her practise exams are on the midterm and final. Overall a great prof!
If you don't mind hearing the word "okay" 100 times a lecture Kroeker's your gal. She is hilarious and extremely passionate about physiology. An excessive amount of content but you only need to know what are on her slides. Tests can be rough if you don't know content really well and are able to apply concepts and fatcs. All in all, love this women
This woman is a legend.
One of my favourite professors! KNES259/260 cover a lot of information but expectations are presented clearly and tests are straight-forward (all MC, similar to practice tests). If you want a good laugh, don't skip the "reproductive physiology lectures". Kroeker is definitely a memorable prof.
Dr. Kroeker is the best of the best! Says okay a lot, but that is the only downfall. Talks quickly, and can cover a lot of info so preparation is key. Very funny and very engaging, makes sure that what she says is clear. Also, she is very open about what to expect with exams making it straightforward to prepare.
Amazing
Great Prof!
Best professor I've had so far, you learn a lot in this class. She is also hilarious and tells great stories that help your understanding of concepts. Wish she taught all physiology classes :D
HILARIOUS !! !! Talks fast tho but REALLY GOOD
Best prof you'll have . Makes you wanna be her
Carol is the real MVP! She is very intelligent, but unlike many other smart profs is actually able to communicate her knowledge effectively (and in an entertaining way!). She does cover material rapidly, but will slow down if asked & still ensures that she points out specific things that will be on the exam. If you attend lecture you'll be fine!
This was the hardest I have ever worked for an A in any of my uni classes, and I am in my final year. I am so grateful for Carol, her humour, and the hints she gave for exams. Do not miss class. Lab was tough as well but studying the material every week before actual lab helped me to memorize everything. Utilize open lab as well!
Kroeker was by far my fave prof this term. She is hilarious and very engaging. Her class was an absolute pleasure. Do not skip! I missed one class due to car trouble and had a bit of a hard time figuring out the content for myself. She makes it super easy to understand. Exams are very fair as long as you study. Wish I had more classes with her!
Carol is a gem. Hilarious and well-respected. She does go a little fast sometimes through content but will always do a summary at the end of each couple slides. Really ensures everyone understands each concept. She is very passionate. Her jokes and stories make lectures even better. Best physiology prof out there.
"Party Game!"
Carol is awesome. Her lectures were interesting and funny. The labs were the best part of this class! They were insightful and lab reports were easy to get a good grade.
Carol is the best prof you/ll encounter in kinesiology. Stay on track and you'll do well. Her MC questions can get a little tricky but if you had her for 259/260, you'll be used to them by 323. Also loves giving bonus questions.
Carol is a real gem. If you have the option, always take her classes. She gives you all the notes, only grades you on the text in the notes, and goes over them all in more detail in lecture. Going to the lectures isn't mandatory to pass, but definitely worth while, and hilarious!
Carol is super funny and smart and is great at explaining things. Love her!!! But this class is A LOT and you need to study really well to get that A. Not easy
Carol is the best Kines prof at U of C! She makes it very clear what to study (only the black type of her notes). Hilarious and great at explaining content!
Dr. Gibbons Kroeker is a very energetic and funny person. Often makes people laugh. You DO NOT need a text book for this class as everything for the exam is taken directly off the PP slides. During the lecture she talks VERY fast, if you have a hard time following fast language I would not recommend her. Optional: visits to her lab outside of class
Will not test on anything other than what is written on her slides but to really understand and get an A, you have to attend lectures. Very funny and easy to get a hold of for help.
All of the bare-bones information is on the lecture slides, so if you have to miss youre okay. You can reuse the text book from 259/260. She is hilarious and super passionate so it makes it easier to learn the massive amount of information. She is good with bonus marks on tests and labs are straight forward.
This is a prof who is very passionate about what she does (you will find out very quickly) and she loves to talk! Lectures aren't too bad, sometimes students may find themselves tuning out but it won't take long before Carol has you again! Absolutely hilarious!
Dr. Kroeker is hilarious and so smart wow. Learn wiggers really well it will help you and focus on the details she tells you to know. Even though the final is not cumulative make sure that you still know some things from the first half to do the written response well.
Shes my favourite prof at UofC
Carol is one of the funniest people I have every met! She makes class very enjoyable and knows how to explain topics differently so you can understand. There's lots of content so you need to stay on top of studying. She usually sends emails to address what to expect on the midterm/final and some lab reports. I absolutely love this woman!
Most passionate prof I've met. She really cares about the content and wants you to do well. The black type is there but you do need to do the work to be able to understand what its saying. She also talks insanely fast, so your note taking skills or auditory retention needs to be in tip top shape. Gives you like 8-10 free questions on the final too.
Carol was hilarious. She goes through like 40 slides a lecture but she'll throw in some humour to make it bearable. She only tests off of black text from her slides and she basically tells you what will be on the exam. I got an A on both the midterm and final and didn't study till the day before.
Carol is an amazing professor. The content is extremely heavy and honestly can be very dry, but she manages to make lectures both interesting and hilarious. She explains things clearly and is crystal clear about EXACTLY what you'll be tested on. She gives amazing study guides and practice questions which she always pulls questions from for exams.
Kroeker is SUCH a good prof, even if physiology isn't something you're super interested in- she keeps you awake during 8ams with her hilarious jokes and enthusiasm, and is super clear when she teaches. would defs recommend!
Carol is seriously amazing. So knowledgeable and super funny. She gives lots of practice questions so it's easy to prepare for her tests. She gives heads up about how hard her questions will be and gives alot of support to practice. Love her class!
Dr. Kroeker is super funny and her lectures are very engaging. Made 8am class fun and enjoyable. These classes (knes 259 & 260) were only graded on 2 midterms and 2 finals so there was lots of studying and the tests were alright. She speaks really fast and goes through slides super quick! Be ready to take quick notes.
Favorite teacher I've ever had. Gives hints during lectures on what she will test on. Full of hilarious stories and gets sidetracked easily when telling them (but it's totally worth it). For the lab write-ups, you are more than welcome to ask her for clarification and most times will guide or just give you the right answer. Highly recommend her!!
Carol was amazing, she really helps you out if you ask. Also, she kinda tells you wants on the tests haha its great!
I loved her she was an amazing professor who truly cares about her students. Her midterm and final are a bit hard so you have to work for it. Overall she is hilarious and really outgoing makes the dry material worth it!
A very friendly and caring prof! Also extremely passionate about kines and goes through slides and content extremely quickly. She makes it clear on what she plans to test on, but her tests can be tricky if you don't study and know exactly what's on her powerpoints. Didn't use the textbook at all either for this course!
Everything on the slides will be on the test. Lots of memorization but she will also stress important things to remember as well. Very enthusiastic, organized, and funny. If you have her as a prof, consider yourself blessed.
Carol is an amazing prof! She gives you a lot of info (sometimes too much) and is always ready to answer any question you may have. She does go quite fast in her lectures so be prepared to keep up with her. She gives lots of hints about possible multiple choice questions and don't worry because he study guides are perfect prep for tests!
Her lectures are quite heavy since it is physiology however she keep sit very interesting. Her stories are quite hilarious and give you amazing life tips. She makes the clave worth going to!!
I absolutely love Carol, she's such an amazing prof and really cared about her students. She was so fun, super hilarious and I really enjoyed her lecture. She offered the opportunity to see a really cool lab at the Foothills hospital, I highly recommend this lab. Her exams were hard but she gave you study guides, practice exams, and flashcards.
I love Carol's class. She is an amazing professor. Her exams are difficult, but she gives you fair warning on what will be on them, so you can definitely do well in the class. Very fair class.
Carol's part of 259 wasn't as interesting as Reed's, but Carol is so knowledgeable and is so funny in her lectures. She goes into more depth than you need for the tests, but she makes the topics so easy to understand, and tells you what you should and shouldn't focus on for the tests. Super nice lady and really easy to get help from.
LOVE Carol she's hilarious, you don't really need to go to lectures but they're hella fun, lots of memorization but not too bad, lab is really fun with not horrible workload, just close to test time. Only 2 midterms and 2 finals lab and lecture 25% each.
Take this class with Carol, she is perfect!
Go to class because she will pretty much tell you everything you need for the lab reports during lecture. Otherwise same set up as 259 and 260, she tests the black text from her slides. A LOT OF CONTENT THOUGH. Be prepared to memorize and memorize and memorize because that's all the course really is. Carol's a sweat heart though and is super funny
I love this woman so much y'all. She's hilarious and genuinely cares about her students. Her tests are a little on the harder side, but honestly if you go to her lectures she will literally explicitly tell you what will be on the exam and what to study. I recommend her so highly!!
If you're reading this don't even bother. If you are thinking of taking a class with Dr. Kroeker, you absolutely should. Everyone I know loves her. She is fun, caring, and makes her expectations EXTREMELY clear. Best prof I have had!
Dr. Kroeker is an excellent prof - she is enthusiastic, explains concepts clearly, is caring, and keeps the class entertained with her many stories. She provides very helpful study guides for her tests that should allow you to do well on the exams. Overall, best prof Ive had at UofC so far, and I would definitely recommend her!
Car is a great prof! Her lectures are entertaining and her explanations are clear. She communicates what will be on the test very clearly, and her questions are very similar to the practice ones. Come to class not only to pass, but to have a good time. She was one of my favourite profs.
Her lectures are pretty intense and very fast, but she makes it interesting. I had her at 8 am and never missed one of the classes because I loved her lectures so much. If you ask her questions one on one she is amazing at answering them and is super helpful. So beyond glad I had her!
Im in business but my best friends are in kines so Id sit in on her lectures just to hang with them & even though she wasnt my prof, I found myself paying attention to her class because she presented the material so well. If youre in kines, youre so lucky to have her as a prof! If only the haskayne profs were like this :(
Talks super fast so have your notes prepared, but somehow manages to explain concepts well with her fast pace. Lots of little stories that are super funny and entertaining. Gives so many hints to what will be on the exam, even told us 4 questions that she will ask during one lecture. Also, do the practice test!
get ready to write your little heart out, lectures are fast-paced but clear
great prof
Shes so energized and fun to listen too, her stories make class that much better and she gives hints in class about exam content, and actually provides study guides. If you go to class you will do well if you put in enough effort to pay attention and take good notes.
Dr. Kroeker is genuinely one of the greatest professors in the Faculty of Kinesiology. She's absolutely caring and does her utmost to be accommodating to her students, as well as having hilariously entertaining and engaging lectures. Course content is rather difficult, but she is one of the few people to make this level of difficulty feel worth it.
So fantastic, I would take any and all of her classes. The multiple choice tests are really tricky but you actually learn the material. Hilarious lecture.
Carol is a great energetic professor. Has great stories that will pull you back into the lecture if you get distracted. Hardest thing about the course for me was not the material but the sheer amount you needed to know and have memorized for each lecture midterm, study early if you can. Very responsive and friendly if you have questions.
AMAZING! She made me look forward to 8 am classes! Not to mention how amazing she is during office hours/one on one. I'm beyond excited to take the next level course with her.
She makes me look forward to attending 8am class. She is super energetic and goes FAST during lectures, so you better keep up! Dr. Kroeker often gives hints about the questions on the exam, so it is important to attend lectures. Overall, she is a great professor that knows the course content EXTREMELY well.
The BEST Prof you will ever meet! Carol is a gem of a person. Her tests are very fair as she will tell you the content you need to know during her lecture and will provide a lot of practice material prior to exams! She is very approachable and genuinely wants to see her students succeed. Her lectures are the most entertaining ever!
Carol is one of the most kind, funny, and inspirational profs at UofC. She is extremely knowledgable, caring and approachable and it's obvious that she wants each and every one of her students to succeed and have a good time in her lectures. I wish she taught more courses!! I will definitely miss her energetic, enthusiastic character.
Absolute gem. She talks fast, but she knows so much and she keeps lectures interesting. She tells you what you'll need to know for the exam, and what is just interesting side info.
An absolute GEM, she's so fun to have and she loves doing what she does. Listening to her is just so fun and interesting. Only minimal downside what she warns herself: her tests have A-E with some answers being "none of the above" or a select few, so know your stuff.
BEST PROF EVER she is brilliant, hilarious, and super helpful. Always hints on what's on the exam, even tells you what won't be tested. So many interesting stories, truly a pleasure attending her lectures. You will find yourself going home and telling her stories to your friends/family. Only tests from notes, exams are heavy but fair.
I literally love her. Best prof I have ever had, she's proffessional, she cares about the students, is organized, wants you to succeed, and all of the above. Basically everything you look for in a proffessor. She's a real gem, take her class if you can you won't regret it.
I love Carol. If you ever have the opportunity to take a class with her do it, you won't regret it. Everything on tests is listed on the slides. Just be aware that she does lots of "all of the above" type questions.
This woman is absolutely incredible. She honestly deserves everything good in this world because she cares so much about her students and genuinely tries very hard to make sure everyone succeeds. Love that she gives hints as to what is important to know for quizzes/exams. On top of that she is SO funny and her personality is amazing.
Carol has made my transition to university so much better! Her lectures are interesting and engaging and she gives helpful hints on what to expect for quizzes and exams! Take her class if you can!! The only thing, as many people already pointed out, are the A-E, All of the above type questions. But nothing far fetched or unfair! She's amazing!
such a gem!!! super clear and energetic and engaging!! i love love loved her class so much!!! She's hilarious and has a great sense of humor! my only complaint would be that I emailed several times for a letter of recommendation and she never got back to me, but overall super lovely!
Carol is my favorite prof at UofC. She really cares about her students and made sure online classes due to Covid were just as clear and fun as if they were in person.
One of the most accomodating profs for the switch to online. She is completely transparent about a lot of things and does everything she can to make her class more enjoyable and easier, especially during the pandemic. Often hints about answers to a lot of things and sprinkles in fun bonus questions that are easy to get right.
Really nice and caring prof, tries really hard to make lectures interesting. Tries her best to help you as much as she can. All her test questions were tested based off lectures.
She's sooo sweet! I'd actually chose to watch her lectures over netflix because she's funny, caring and I actually learned things in her class. One of the coolest profs in all of U of C. For example, she made fun supplementary videos, like disease of the week, just to bless our curiosity! Don't smoke, play her party games and eat veggies, PEOPLE!!!
I loved taking this class with Carol! You can tell that she is really passionate about the content and her students. There were weekly quizzes but they really helped to keep me caught up on lectures since they were pre-recorded. Tests were 100% lecture based so the textbook was not needed at all.
She keeps things interesting and fun throughout lectures, love her energy! She'll give hints in her lectures on what is important and what might be on the exams or quizzes. Explains things in different ways and show different diagrams to accommodate for different learning styles. I'm definitely excited to take more courses with her!
What an amazing prof! I have had Carol for many courses now, and she has teaching down to a science. Incredibly fair when grading, clearly states what will be tested, and gives the most entertaining and interesting lectures imaginable! You still have to put in the work, but she'll never try to trick you on tests and is always available to help you!
Dr. Kroeker is probably the best prof I've had at UofC. Her lectures are amazing, even topics I had already learned I felt like I understand so much better because of her, and she is so clear on what she will test on. If you have the chance to take a class taught by Dr. Kroeker, DO!
Kroeker is an amazing prof, you can tell that she is very passionate about what she teaches and tries her best to make it as interesting as she can. She makes it clear on what things are important to know for quizzes and exams, and she makes the questions on the test very fair and straight forward. I wish she could be the prof for all my classes!
Great prof. Clear with what's going to be on the test. Provides practice quiz for the midterm/final and even reuses some of those questions too. There is quite a bit of content so the class is pretty content-heavy. Really nice and caring prof.
One of the best courses I have taken. Her lectures are engaging and the material is fun. She cares a lot and the tests are very fair.
Carol is amazing! I had her class three times a week at 8am and I always left class awake and excited for the day. She is a fantastic lecturer and her tests are fair. She is absolutely hilarious and had me genuinely giggling many times a lecture. This course has a LOT of content but she makes it all worth it.
she will tell you EVERYTHING ON THE EXAM. her practice exams had half the questions on the actual exam and she's really funny and engaging. It is a lot of slides tho about 70+ a day but there's a sentence on each slide. She's very good at explaining and the class never gets boring. She clearly indicates what's on the exam and wont surprise you
Dr. Kroeker is AMAZING. My favourite prof this semester. She talks super fast but not everything she says is testable, and she gives lots of good hints! Exams were way easier than I expected, and she will answer questions for you during tests. So sad the class is over!
I looked forward to Carol's lectures every week. She genuinely made me laugh each lecture and she is such a gem. Is clear with what is on the test and what isn't and tests were very fair. Everything you need to know will be on the powerpoints and there are no surprises.
Really great prof. Made her lectures really fun, even tho we had to go through over 50 slides in 50 minutes most of the time.
Carols hilarious and engaging lectures were a main factor in me making it to the 8am class! She makes the class super entertaining even while going though a huge amount of content. She is very generous in giving hints for exams and is clear on what to focus on for tests. Would 100% recommend!
Dr Kroeker is a great prof! Always highlights exam questions and what/what not to study. Provides very helpful study guides and review sheets for exams, which contain questions that will appear on the exam. She goes crazy fast sometimes but everything testable is written out on her thorough slides.
Dr. Kroeker is an amazing prof who is very passionate about teaching and the content! She also has a very good sense of humour and is very endearing with her "mom talks". Lecture slides a very good and detailed. She also tests very fair, only testing content out of her lecture slides. Will definitely be looking to have her as a prof in the future!
Absolutely amazing prof. Lectures are interesting and she is extremely clear about what will be on the tests, as those are the only things that contribute toward your grade. 100% worth it to go to every class because she gives hints on test questions, and explains the material super well.
I can't say enough about Carol. She is amazing! I had an 8am class with her and was always excited to get up for her lectures-- and I am NOT a morning person. She is fair and clear about what she will test on and provides lots of prep resources. She is so funny that I have been in tears laughing through multiple lectures. INCREDIBLE professor
Dr. Kroeker is the best prof I have ever had. Not only can you tell she is one of the most amazing people outside of schooling, she makes lectures so much fun. The content of the class (anatomy and physiology) and the set up is pretty average but she makes lectures so enjoyable. Honestly the best, I could not ask for a better prof.
She's amazing! So passionate about the material. Loved the crazy birth stories she would tell during reproductive, they were the only things that got me out of bed in the morning. If you ever have the chance to take a class with her jump on it! The material is all memorisation, as long as you are good at that you'll do great in this course.
She is by far one of the best profs I've had this year. She responds fairly quickly and would go on to explain if you did not understand the concept. Although the lectures can be quite long, she tells us everything we need to study, making it a lot easier for the students. If you have the chance to, take a class that she teaches! :)
Dr. Kroeker is absolutely my favourite professor! She is so enthusiastic when she's teaching, and is very considerate of her students. She keeps lectures entertaining as she tells stories that are relevant to course content and makes funny jokes. Dr. Kroeker lets you know everything that is on her exams, which is so helpful. She is impeccable
Dr Kroeker explained the content very well and showed a lot of enthusiasm during lectures. Dr Kroeker was also very helpful and clear about what you should know/ focus on for exams.
She is my favourite professor! She is very clear on what information you need to know so you never have to worry about what to study and her lectures are so fun. Even at 8 am she makes the class enjoyable. Her enthusiasm is amazing. Would 100% want to take a class with her again.
She is funny, passionate, and knowledgable, making 8 am classes enjoyable to show up to. She tells you exactly what to know for the test and what to ignore. Her practice tests closely resemble what you will see on the exam. My favourite prof:)
Professor Kroeker is definitely one of the best profs in the university. She knows her content thoroughly and explains content very well. The downside to this class in general was being marked on only 4 tests, but she outlines specifically what to study for and gives practice tests and reference guides as well. 10/10 would take again for sure
This course was content heavy but she clearly outlines what you need to know and what you can ignore. She is really passionate about what she does and it is clearly seen in her teaching. She makes sure we were set up for success and her tests were always fair. She even uses some of the questions from the practice test on the actual exam.
I love Professor Kroeker. She is so kind and genuinely herself. She has so much passion for anatomy which is clear in her lectures (which are usually hilarious). She clearly outlines what content is important and often hints at what would make great exam questions. Lecture heavy, marked heavily on exams but she preps you well.
Carol is just about as good as you could ever get for a prof. Her lectures are entertaining, detailed and worth going in at 8am. The course only is marked on 4 tests but she prepares you very well, dropping hints in lectures and creating study guides that have some test questions too. Definitely should be considered as one of the best profs at uofc
An amazing prof
Best prof ever.
Kroeker is an amazing lecturer although recorded vids went overtime usually (Fall 2020-21). She sets you up for success by giving clear guidelines on testable information taking some practice questions and putting them directly on the exam. She tells you cool and relatable stories making things easier to grasp. One of my favourite profs by far!
I have never been bored in one of Carol's lectures. They are upbeat, even though they are at 8 am. She is very clear on the content that is needed for the exams.
Dr. Kroeker is an unbelivably caring and kind professor. It is very clear that she cares about her students well being. Her lectures are also very upbeat and very engaging! She clearly outlines what will be on the exams and is a very fair test writer.
She is a phenomenal prof!! Absolutely insane how she's able to make a heavy portion of the course (physiology) both enjoyable and easy to understand. Prepares you for her section of the exam SO well!!
Simply incredible.
Shes absolutely the best. She lets you know exactly what you need for the exams and her slides are organized and easy to follow. Shes the best KNES prof Ive ever had
The goat
Very good prof, she always manages to make the class laugh at the 8am lectures. One of my favourite classes- definitely attend lectures to help understand materials a bit clearer she puts lots of side notes during the lectures that are important. Clearly identifies materials and helps with understanding functions and slides are easy to understand.
I haven't finished Dr. Kroeker's NRSG 203 course yet, but she deserves this review as she is one of the best professors I have had the pleasure to work with. She is extremely accommodating and hilarious. Her work is easy to understand and she gives you many resources to work with. I wish I could have all my classes with her. She's an absolute gem
I LOVE this woman! She is everything you want a prof to be: smart, funny, caring, etc. She gives great lectures and she gives you SO MANY resources and practically tells you what will be on her tests LOL! God bless her soul she is adorable and also a highkey genius (search up her credentials hehe), I wish every prof taught like her!
Carol is absolutely amazing! Turns an 8am class into something I looked forward to every day. She has such a fun and bubbly personality, and is very knowledgeable on the material. Also responds to emails and communicates with the class in a timely manner. Tests are completely fair (and she gives pointers on what to expect). 100% recommend!
She was absolutely amazing, provided great information and explanations, was very clear and focused on important topics. Extremely funny made 8am lectures enjoyable. Tests provided some difficulty, but if you attend lectures you will do really well on them. Lectures are mandatory, super helpful to go she is very clear about what is on tests.
Great professor, very funny and passionate about what she teaches. I got an A by missing about half the lectures since she posts some videos and all her ppts are very detailed. I wouldnt bother with the textbook for Nrsg 203 or 204 unless you really want to use the anatomy software (I didnt).
Lots of content, but Carol made it understandable and was very passionate. Probably one of the best professors I've taken a class with! She gives practice for before exams and lets you know what's testable. If you put in the work you'll do well.
One of the best profs I've ever had. She was definitely meant to teacher and as a student you can tell she cares. such a queen ✨✨✨
Great professor! You can tell she cares, and enjoys what she is teaching. Some of her online lectures get a little long because she is passionate about what she teaches - but that's great. Exam wise and test wise - its all very fair, you don't have to worry about catching all the little details, its about what's on the slides so its very fair.
She is amazinggggg. Miss her already. If you can, definitely take a class with her. Good mom vibes and advice, hilarious and down to earth. Expectations for exams are also very clear and she provides tons of great resources for studying!
Carol is hands down the best prof in this faculty. She is adorable and truly cares about us and her testing expectations are so clear and so fair. I love her
shes funny and entertaining but she goes over too much content that isnt going to be tested which is annoying because she will be giving new content up until the last day of classes and glosses over it she does give good practice questions and her testing is fair although dont always believe her when she says something wont be on the test
Carol's portion of both units is the biggest, hence the "test heavy" tag. It is quite content heavy, you have to memorize the systems and be able to use them in scenario questions. Despite all this, I find all her questions on quizzes, midterms, and final exams to be absolutely fair. Advice: Link all the content together as you're studying :)
Best lecture videos out there, although very dense with material, she will highlight what will be on the exam and makes all the content clear.
WE LOVE HER
She is amazing, lets us know everything we need to know for the tests, and makes lectures worth going to at 8 AM. There is a LOT of content however she teaches in a way that allows us to understand as much as we need to.
