Reviews of professor Sarah Hamsher

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Prof Hamsher was amazing. She truly knows what she is talking about and loves it as well. I took this during COVID as a fully online class. She has a lot of homework assignments that count towards participation, as long as you watch her lectures you should be all set. I personally used the book for a few things, but not required. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

She is the worst do not take her. Does not teach or explain anything well. Tests are hard and have nothing to do with lecture slides. She makes a simple 100 level class very stressful. I have learned nothing .

I did not enjoy my class with Professor Sarah Hamsher. It is not a hard class but she makes it as hard as she possibly can. Everything is online, and the exams are a minute per question and you cannot look over your exam before you turn it in

LOVE Prof. Hamsher! Her passion for biology is inspiring and she has a bunch of fun activities for learning the material throughout the semester:)

Sarah is super sweet and tries to help her students. However, she reads directly from the powerpoint slides and sometimes seems unsure of the information she is presenting. You'll have to do work outside of class to learn and understand but it's not the worst class ever.

376 Lab was super boring, and sadly prof Hamsher wasn't much help. Instructions were pretty unclear, she made students feel bad if they didn't understand something. Presentations were boring, and she is very picky when grading lab reports.

she basically just reads off of the slides. it is an easy course to pass!

A good professor who genuinely cares about her students and makes sure you understand the material. The quizzes/tests are not difficult and seem reasonable for the material.

Sarah needs to re-learn the material that she is attempting to 'teach' (just reads PP slides and shows videos before she comes to class. It is a very hard class to sit through and maybe she is just new to teaching and wasn't meant to teach. Moral of the story, take a different professor.

Sarah Hamsher is a decent prof. I don't really get all the hate with the other ratings. She lets you make your own cheat sheet for all the tests, and all the in-class quizzes are done with your "group." Its a easy class.

I had her for BIO 121. You could tell she was very knowledgable and always had standards that were realistic. The class itself is very note-heavy but all the notes taken were needed. She creates fun activities and makes class more enjoyable when she can. You definately need online access codes but you don't really need the book.

Such a nice lady. The class was easy to pass. You just had to study for the tests and quizzes. Would recommend to others.
