Reviews of professor Lauren Schwab

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
No course material

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I believe Dr. Schwab is a nice person, but I would never willingly take a class she taught again. She is frequently disorganized and often feels like the course sets you up for failure. She relies heavily on lecture attendance, but time during lectures often feels wasted and like what she teaches is useless for the course.

Complete lack of resources and understanding. Very cold and strict on policiesgenuinely one of the worst professors I will ever have

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
This class is a joke and the instructor does not explain well. A lot of the assignments and exams are just busy work. This class does not add any value to my education and should be made optional. The instructor is the type of person who thinks that she is cool but actually she is not. Too bad there's no other instructor so you can't avoid her.

I'm sure that Lauren was a great person, but no so much a great professor. The homework was very difficult and required lots of help hours which always sucked. The final project is ridiculous and requires a lot of time and effort, as well as knowledge only attained in upper level classes. Also the class had NOTHING to do with Env E, only civil.

Lauren quite literally throws her students to the wolves. There are not enough help hours, and when there are help hours, there are over 50 students in attendance. So, it's very difficult to get help. It's very hard to follow along with her and you are expected to know how to do everything on your own for the homework and projects.

i heard lots of complaints about her but shes a pretty good professor if you take notes in class and go to the office hours. homeworks are kind of hard but she goes over similar questions in lecture and lab. on projects her and the TAs for the class help and answer questions which is nice.

Lauren will not provide any assistance or rubrics of any kind and grades harshly and without any reason. Your grade will be mostly up to chance. The chance that you remember some tiny thing she said once that may end up being the backbone of the final project. Who knows! Nothing is regulated. Everything is random.

Lauren is a good teacher in a tough-to-teach class. CE160 is meant to introduce both the concepts and, partially, the workload of higher-level CE courses and I think she did a good job of that. Homework, exams and projects were graded very harshly (Im a transfer, I knew all the content), and that is the only gripe I had with the course.

Lauren is a very nice person but this class was awful. You have to teach yourself how to do everything as the lectures don't teach you how to do much of anything. The projects in this class have components you never truly learn how to do in class. The homework was complicated and took hours.
