Reviews of professor Sarah Malmquist

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Such a sweet passionate person! She had some personal issues this semester so never joined us in person - it's fine but a little weird. It was flipped learning, which I hate. Made the class a lot more work. Group project was easy. Some of the topics weren't as interesting as I had hoped. Exams weren't terrible, we have two days to take them.

This class format is just weird. It's flipped classroom but worse. You have a HW and a SG (takes at least 4 hrs) due each week. TAs and Dr. Malmquist are EXTREMELY slow to grade. Exams often were not graded until a few days before the next one. There is a semester long group project. Class is like Foundations but is not hard to do well in.

The class is structured in a very bad way (you have to spend hours on repetitive assignments that you have to turn in every week). The lectures are boring and it's hard to focus on them. The exams are hard, plus, even though the class is in person, the professor refused to come to teach in class, which I thought was weird. Would not recommend.

Dr. Malmquist is a very kind person that genuinely cares about her students' well-being. While she is a solid teacher, it can get pretty confusing to keep track of everything and differentiate what is most important for exams with there being several different sources of information.

We aren't even one week into class yet, but like others on here, I can tell this semester is gonna be a hot mess. The reverse classroom format is awful and the concepts taught in this class definitely aren't simple enough to be taught by oneself. I just want to know why we're paying thousands of dollars to just to teach ourselves. Not impressed.
