Reviews of professor Alison Hamilton

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
This has been the worst course I have taken so far at this school. The exams are very difficult and in order to pass the class, you need an average of at least a 60 on your exams. I find this rule very unfair because I completed all the work, but because I did not reach a 60 on exams, I did not pass the class. Do not take this course !

Dr. Hamilton is super nice and really cares about her students succeeding. That being said, she's a bit disorganized and due dates are constantly changing. The lectures were long and could be hard to sit through. Exam material never felt super concrete, but she does offer extra credit, tutoring worksheets, and exam corrections to boost your grade.

Professor Hamilton makes the actual class time fun, but I've never had a course that is this unorganized in my entire life. No textbook, but I wish there was as the online homework module is no help, and the slides are mediocre at best. Exams are EXTREMELY DIFFICULT with no review session and minimal practice problems. Rarely responds to emails.

While she is nice, her organization is god awful. Uploaded 5 assignments on us over break without warning, including an exam. Along with this, most of the labs were pointless and not talked about much, so the lab is graded on very few papers. I feel bad because she is nice and going through struggles, but come on. This is absurd. Do not take.

She would come to class unprepared. Many time I would sit in class and wonder if she was learning the material at the same time as us. She would get formulas wrong and numbers mixed around. She gives homework on the subjects being taught which is helpful but her grading on it is weird. Does allow formula sheets and gives study guide.

Dr. Hamilton is a kind and passionate professor and I understand her situation but the flood of assignments after not holding class for 2 weeks is extremely overwhelming and unfair on students with finals right around the corner. Lack of structure hampers learning, and the excessive workload feels disproportionate. A frustrating experience overall.
