Reviews of professor Sarah Handley-Cousins

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Awesome and approachable professor. Her lectures are very interesting and made going to class easy. Only recitations are mandatory but I recommend going to lectures which make the material easy to remember for exams. The grade is based on two exams, a couple papers, and participation in recitation.

Dr. Handley-Cousins is without a doubt the best professor I have had so far at UB. Her class was completely remote (Fall 2020) but her lectures were always so interesting and energetic. She is incredibly passionate about her field, and she really cares about her students and their success. I highly recommend taking Dr. Handley-Cousins' class!

I've taken lots of classes with her and she's amazing!! So kind, understanding, and sets very clear and easy to meet expectations. Her lectures are interesting and easy to follow, and the essays she assigns aren't hard and she gives you plenty of time to complete them. :)

Dr. Handley-Cousins is a GREAT professor. She is easily accessible out of class and is super understanding. She cares deeply for both her students and what she teaches about. She makes sure everyone understands the material. This class had no exams, only a few papers, which the professor was always willing to help with.

Took this for a pathway requirement because I'm in a public health major and thought it would be an interesting wealth of knowledge and I was right. This class is super interesting, the readings (every week, but short) are easy to get through and recitation is mandatory but my TA literally explained exactly what to put on the exams to get an A.
