Katy is a fantastic instructor! Her lectures are so clear and organized, and she really cares about making sure students understand the material. I especially like how she always tries to connect what we are learning to real-world, research applications. Additionally, she effectively incorporated technology into the classroom; Katy used an online scheduling app for office hours, and she used MATLAB to help us visualize what we were learning - this effective use of technology had a positive impact on the class experience. Katy is definitely one of the best instructors (graduate student or professor) that I have had the opportunity to learn from!
