Reviews of professor Sarah Maxey

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Lectures were clear and helpful.  Class is optional, except for discussion.  The online material is extremely accessible - no textbook is needed, despite the stated requirement.  The class is incredibly easy with extra credit and 3 worst exams knocked off, but it was really informative and interesting.  Highly reccommend.

Lectures were really interesting! The exams were all open note online. Lots of "tell your neighbors" that encouraged engagement w/ material. Weekly assignments that weren't hard. She cares a lot more that you're engaged and actually learning than if you're just memorizing. She offers extra credit but if you attend you won't need it! Take Dr Maxey!

Dr Maxey is a great professor. You don't need to know anything about politics, especially in a global sense. Each class is a lecture which can be hard but she's very passionate about what she talks about. She also goes over the content before each class which sets you up to succeed. Definitely take her!

2nd time taking a class w/her & it was just as good! She makes confusing topics easy to understand & comprehend. She's flexible, meets you where you're at, the exam & papers weren't too difficult & weekly 'quizzes' were super easy. You'll get through a ton of content so be prepared! The lectures didn't drag too much for a once-a-week class!

I absolutely loved professor Maxey for my International relations class. Her grading criteria were super clear and easy. She made the lectures super easy to understand and made the information much more fun. Would definitely take her again if I could.

Maxey is such a sweet, kind professor! Her class may be a little boring if you're not big on political science, but is also easy if you put in the effort to learn and understand the big concepts. Weekly quizzes are easy if you thoroughly read, simulation is fun, and exams are fine as well. Expect MC, 4 short essays, and 1 long essay on tests.
