Reviews of professor Sarah Newman

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Newman is fabulous! She's very engaging and articulate despite the larger lecture size, and she really puts in effort to help you succeed. Class is definitely focused on the readings, and although they can be a bit dull, she works really hard to make the material interesting and relevant. I took this class as a pre-req and LOVED it.

Newman is a great lecturer! She really knows her stuff and knows how to make class interesting and even fun at some points. Showing up to class is pretty much a must because she does take attendance but the class is an overall easy class if you study and do your work. She gives extra credit projects for exams. I would recommend her! and the class!

Professor Newman treats you like an equal. She's so sweet and laughs a lot and fixes whatever weird GIS problem you have, but she expects you to think and to be serious. The course is laid-back, but I always want to work hard and do better because she just nicely expects you to (it's kind of weird actually). Also you learn SO MUCH USEFUL STUFF.

Sarah Newman is easily one of my favorite professors at UVM. I've taken two courses with her, and in both she made it clear that she really wanted her students to succeed. She's a very easy going person, and is also extremely knowledgeable. If you keep up with the readings, you'll have no problem. Would definitely take another class with her!
