Reviews of professor Alexis Hanson

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
She must have changed her curriculum because we didnt have to just write 2 current events, we were given one every week. every time she assigned a significant essay its almost as if she was looking for a particular sentences or phrase. I would get Bs on essays bc of missing one specific sentence she wanted?!? Got As on multiple choice quizzes!

I took polisci 1 last semester online and learned more than I ever thought I would. This was a GE requirement and not taken by choice but Im so glad I chose her class. I became more aware of politics, inspired by the part we can play in governments and see the lessons I learned in my every day life. The work was easy but make sure to take notes

Professor Hanson is very passionate about her subject, and makes you feel very comfortable discussing heavy topics. I learned a lot from the class, and I know I will use the knowledge I gained in the future. Highly recommend her Pols1 class. I had to take it online due to covid, but I'm sure in person it's even better!

Hands down the most boring class with the most boring textbook. The weekly assignments were useless and taught me nothing. Her teaching style is reading off of slides. Her grading is harsh. Calls off sick quite a bit and assigns homework for the day. Do not take this class unless you absolutely have to.

2 current news papers (1-2 pages), a midterm and final (all open book). got the textbook, but only touched it once or twice. super easy if you're looking for extra credits.

This class was pretty easy so long as you follow along with the lectures. Grades very easily if you follow the rubric. Study guides cover everything you will need to know and gives great feedback.. I got an A without picking up a textbook, But would not recommend

This class was a really nice overview of political science. There were only 3 papers that were clearly laid out and 3 exams that are easy if you attend lectures. It's a pretty lecture heavy class but she does a good job at making them interactive.

My first time taking this course was abysmal. Taking this course with this professor though changed my look at it entirely. They are very caring and supportive. The online version is reading heavy but I found myself understanding the topics being presented. Feel free to reach out to the professor if you ever have any issues.

Professor Hanson is hands down the best professor I have taken this semester. This class is challenging, and the first test is the hardest. But if you look at her feedback you can see how she will grade in the future and you will do well. She is very professional and breaks down and presents material extremely well, very accessible and helpful.
