Reviews of professor Sara Newland

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I absolutely loved her class! Her lecture style was engaging and she was very receptive to her students' thoughts. The homework was varied and engaging so even when we had a lot it didn't feel like too much. Would definitely take a class with her again!

It was just an intro class so fairly straightforward material. I would take any class with her again thoughkind, encouraging, clear, and really smart.

Lectures were very content heavy and there was not a lot of space for discussion of the material although she made it very interesting with role playing and group activities (you will need to participate and talk). LOTS of readings and she checks your knowledge on them sometimes.

Dr. Newland taught about the aspects of different political systems in an interesting way; I enjoyed learning about non-US countries. Her grading standards are quite high but you will learn how to write a paper for any class; she will point out things you never knew about your own writing. She is incredibly supportive, nice, and open.
