Reviews of professor Sara Wiest

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Very disrespectful and rude when you ask her questions in office hours. Does not explain why points are taken off in exams. She has made the class unnecessarily hard in addition to being disorganized.

Nice lady one on one, but I do not recommend taking her class. She is a very hard grader and does not really motivate students to learn. She can sometimes be profane and rude to students if they do not understand te subject matter. She is really smart and has a lot to teach, but makes bad powerpoints and lectures off her notes really fast.Dont take

Extremely mean and makes the students teach the class. Don't ever take her class

If Wiest likes a student, they get graded more leniently even if they don't come to class. she's mean. Her answers to questions are either "I'll have to research that," or "Why don't you find out yourself." She belittles her students for asking questions. Also, you'll be teaching yourself the material as Wiest doesn't teach during her lectures.

she talks too fast and it's hard to understand her. She also doesn't teach well and you end up teaching a lot yourself. She swears in the lecture and even once said "people who wear glasses are nerds". She's just like Eric Cartman from South Park . Judgemental. She marks the sign up sheet on how good she thinks the quality of your participation is

if you ask her a question, she will make you feel unintelligent for asking her questions, give you the impression that you are a waste of time, and will not answer the question. If I knew the answer, I would not bother to ask. Many fellow students are distressed by her grading style. The course is poorly structured and designed to make you fail.

Sara Wiest is very miserable woman. Her poor attitude is shown during class time. She is quite snobby and believes she is above everyone else. I cannot believe any institution would give her a PHD but it is what it is. Constant complaints about the school and other students. She is the epitome of a Karen and should consider another profession

I took intro to US politics and the class was well balanced. Sometimes she lectured a little too fast, but there was a lot of material. She recommended a text book and I found it very useful, especillly considering I missed some of the lecture content during class. I found the tests very fair and there was minimal writing involved
