Reviews of professor Sarah Schwartz

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Great professor. There are weekly map quizzes, and three current events quizzes, all of which are online and open note. Her lectures are very informative, but you need to take a lot of notes. Final is online and open note. As long as you're engaged in class and do the map quizzes, you'll do pretty well.

This is one of the worst professors at TCU. She is smug and could care less about her students. She tries to make her tests as difficult as possible. Taking notes from her lectures is 100% pointless because they never show up on her ridiculous exams. I truly hope that TCU will wise up and fire this useless elitist professor. She belongs at TCC.

I see a lot of reviews about the exams having nothing to do with the lecture material, and that's not true. Focus during the class, take good notes, AND YOU WILL DO WELL. (Never went to office hours)
Do the extra credit!! Map quizzes have few points extra credit, as well as the exams, and out of class credit too. 
A 100 is possible in this class.

One of the easiest core classes you can take IF you go to class. Classes are super lecture heavy and can be boring, but if you go to every class and somewhat pay attention you should get an A. So much extra credit is offered, final is online. Just go to every class and you will get an A.

Sarah really cares and helps. If you follow along you will do okay. Just communicate if you get stuck.

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!!!!! I have no clue why she has such good ratings. This class was unnecessarily hard and she was extremely rude and not helpful when I had a family member pass away before finals. Again, do NOT take this class.

Really really really hard. All you take notes are of no use on tests. I can not breathe in the class.

Sarah definitely loves her topic area, but is overall pretty useless as a teacher. I would recommend students take any other proff available if you want clear examples and useful class time because you won't get much of thus with her. Overall nice enough lady but just ineffective at teaching materials in a clear, and systematic way

If you don't go to class and listen to every word she says for the entire hour and 20 mins, you'll probably fail the exam; if you DO go and listen to everything, you'll be lucky to get above a B. She's honestly really sweet but strict and makes her exams way harder than they would need to be for an entry-level geography class.
