Reviews of professor Sarah Penry

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Prof Perry is very knowledgable about this class, she knows what she is talking about and you can tell she cares what you have to say about it. You sit in a circle and discuss every class, long readings, discussion posts, two presentations, one paper, final is two papers. I recommend if you can invest time into the class.

Doesnt use any form of her own presentations and isnt friendly towards individual students. Does not allow any electronics in class including computers, and talks very fast, so accurate note-taking is nearly impossible. She misses opportunities to make the material interesting. Overall poor experience.

A class that could be made really interesting was so boring. She makes you read her 50$ book and doesn't provide pdf copies... Discussion post and 20+ page readings for every class. If you don't have time to do the reading for one class you will be completely lost, and she tends to ask questions and call on people.

I enjoyed her Spanish Conquest class. The work load consists of a fifteen page paper, ten 250 word blackboard reading responses, and two presentations. She graded very fairly and relatively easy on all the assignments. Sometimes the class could drag since it was once per week and longer, though. Overall I would recommend taking her class.
