Reviews of professor Erin Sakin

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Lots of reading. Unspecific with the grading, but overall, he was passionate about the subject. Do the readings, participate & study, and you'll be good.

Professor Sakin tries his best to explain the material, but he does read off his slides for the most part. There are in class-assignments that are completed in groups so attendance is encouraged and 2 exams total. Make sure to do all the readings since exams are heavily based on them and STUDY since there are no opportunities for extra credit.

The class was harder than it shouldve been. The entire semester you have to work with a group and a big portion of your grade is based off of these group assignments. The professor makes rude comments to students fairly often as well. The class felt like it was all over the place and not thought out very well. I would not take this class again.

I had for the summer, so it was short and easy, but he is confusing on the grading, but we got to work in partners the whole time for every assignment. My only advice is to always write more than what he expects even just a little can help even when he doesn't ask because he is going to want a least a paragraph for each assignment.

Beginning of this course attendance was not mandatory, after time he made attendance mandatory. Very unclear on the exact way our grades were being calculated and seemed upset when we asked for clarification. Class is loosely structured ( to his benefit), grading overall is not given a concise scale that is followed. Took months to put grades in.

He seems passionate, but gets easily offended if you dont understand some things the way he explains them. Tests are awful. If you are a good writer and do the reading youll do fine, but hes a bit stressful.
