Reviews of professor Sara Graves

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Her grading is so vague. You have to attend tutorials weekly for participation marks. She doesn't know how to teach but she is approachable for any questions. The tutorials do help but the course itself is so ambiguous. Just avoid her, she speaks so fast that it's difficult to keep up with what she says. This class is created to steal student money

Avoid at all costs!!!!!!!! Her tutorial group said to us don't need to take this course seriously but this course required us to read 30+ page articles and listen to podcasts every week. She is so unorganized and her grading is super vague. I can't handle this anymore. Help me get out of this class ASAP!!!

Professor is rich with their ideology and poor with their execution. Many articles and podcasts. VERY Unclear grading criteria. Gave a 2 hour class for explaining midterm which was nice of her to do, yet it was all a lie and the midterm was NOTHING as told. If SFU was going to make this a mandatory class to take, they could have done better.

VERY unclear marking/criteria. assignments were handed back with no feedback, so didn't know how to improve. lectures are always disorganized.

I'm taking 303 with Prof. Graves after taking 275 with her last term. In a classroom of ~200 1st and 2nd years who don't want to do much of anything unless it's complain (hey, I was one of them less than a year ago!), she always impressed. Somehow brilliant, kind and beautiful inside and out. Easily of the most inspiring profs at Beedie.

One of the most supportive professors I've had in any class thus far. She is easily accessible outside of class and proactive to ensure we understand concepts during class. Classes are engaging and no student should have trouble answering questions if they do the pre-readings. Start early with assigned readings and you'll enjoy the class.

Cancelled class first few weeks. Unclear criteria with no feedback. Wouldn't reply to emails on time. Would give 0 if possible.

Possibly the worst prof I've ever had at sfu. Very disorganized and gave unclear instructions for everything. The midterm was a MESS and we never received the marks for the final project. I can tell she is a nice person but she is not a good teacher. I would not recommend.
