Reviews of professor Sarahfina Peterson

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Sarahfina is an excellent instructor. The lectures are insightful and she does well to leave time to talk about contemporary examples. There is a lot of reading, but that is to be expected for a 400 level class so I'm not sure why other reviewers are complaining about that. If you at least skim the reading and take notes in class its an easy A.

Do not take her class. Most if not all of her power points had inaccurate information. She would spend over half the time on a ramble about her own life that came across as insensitive and entitled. She non stopped complained about graduate school and told the class multiple times not to go and how hard it was for her. Overall 0/10.

Kept changing the reads. In-class lectures were also off topic. Wasn't much structure.

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Grades were based on midterm, final exams, and an essay that she gives no real rubric as she rather "leave it open-ended for students." The midterm review during class was completely different to the actual midterm quiz, which was in person (the final was a take-home exam).

Im confused on the reviews. Professor Peterson was so chill the entire term. Be on time to class, do the reading, and participate even a little and your good. There is a lot of reading but its a college class; it's to be expected. I plan on having Professor Peterson again in the fall and honestly cant wait

Professor Peterson is a great professor. The assigned readings are about the same as any other 400-level PS course. Some of the readings are dense but the lectures offer clarity, and she is more than willing to help answer any questions you may have either in class or via email. She is passionate about the material. I would take her classes again.
