Reviews of professor Cristen Hamilton

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Takes a really long time to grade essays and assigns a lot of reading. Her class is pretty boring and she treats her students like they are not competent. She is pretty harsh and is not someone who is easy to talk to. Lots of assignments in class so it is easy to do well on those, but it's very subjective with the essays.

Dr. Hamilton has been my favorite professor while at SMU. I do not do well with extremely difficult classes and I knew this class was not going to easy. But, Dr. Hamilton does everything she can to help her students. She is funny, relatable, and incredibly smart. I can say, without a doubt, that my writing has improved greatly because of her.

She is a great professor and a really caring person. She gives time to work on essays in class. In the beginning of the semester there's more homework and towards the end the homework is just to work on essays. Go to office hours for sure. Just follow instructions and care about your work and you will be fine. Just got a 98 on my last paper

I highly recommend not taking her, she is a slow grader. It was 3 weeks past drop date when I received a grade for my second exam to be more specific. She reminds me of a crazy cat lady. She gives horrible feedback for essays, I was told on my first two essays that they looked great and proceeded to receive horrible grades. Do not make the mistake

You can go into the class without knowing how to even write a thesis. If you do her activities with sincerity, you can walk out with an A. Everything she teaches helps you craft a good essay.
