Reviews of professor Jessica Sauve-Syed

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Health Economics with Dr. Sauve-Syed has been one of my favorite classes at Furman. I am an Economics major and was not new to 200 level classes, but I found this class very easy and straightforward. I usually reviewed her lectures the day before or the morning of the exam and got A's on all of them. The only negative was the group project.

She is amazing. She explains hard material so everyone understands it. Even if you don't, she is very accessible outside of class. She cares about all her students. If you do the study guides, you will get a good grade on every test. I never took econ before but I am now a Math-Econ major because of her class.

For her first year at Furman, she was a wonderful professor, who genuinely cared for her students. She made sure to clarify when needed and was open to any and all questions regarding her lectures. More often than not, the review packets she gave out before the actual exams were a huge indicator of the tested material.

She is a great teacher and is very helpful outside of class. Study guides are no longer a good representation of what is on the test. You must do really good on each test or you will not pass the class.

Dr. Sauve-Syed was great. She really cared about the success of her students and was very clear with every assignment she gives. The quizzes can be retaken until you get a 100 and the homework has a big portion of your grade so do them. Exams can be difficult because it is not just regurgitating the material. She really makes you think on exams.

Every assignment matters. Make sure your study for her tests as they are graded harshly. She is good at meeting during office hours and outside of office hours. She is big on class participation but there is no participation grade. No chance for extra credit. Occassionally, there are pop quizzes at the end of class.

Really loved Dr. Sauve-Syed's class. She's so nice and really passionate about what she teaches.
