Reviews of professor Sarah Stayton

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I was very hesitant to take her class due to the her ratings, but I absolutely loved this class! This course consisted of 4 reading journals that in total was worth 25%, a midterm exam, and two major essays. She provides ALL of the tools you will need in order to succeed in her class. She is also quick to respond to any questions you may have.

Cool lady. Let's you speak your mind in class, and respects your opinion. Tough but super fair.

Solid teacher, but with the current online situation I wouldn't recommend. She is too reliant on the automatic grading done by the computer for quizzes and allows the system to consistently give wrong marks on opinion-based questions, pretty rough. The workload wasn't awful and she did allow for one make-up essay, but was unclear on the instruction

Instructions given in class often do not line up with written instructions. She usually does not understand one's questions and answers it anyway, confusing the class. However, her feedback is clear and helpful, and she is welcoming of all opinions even if she does not agree.

Prof. Stayton is very nice and wants to see her students succeed. I had her for an online class, but whenever I emailed to ask questions, she always had a prompt reply. Not a ton of work, and as long as you put in effort and do it on time, you should get the grade you want. The material was interesting and not too heavy. Would take again!

Sarah was the main reason I didn't want to drop her class. Her essays are given with clear criteria and she makes sure the students know how to write the essay. Sarah is very kind and will always help when you need it. She is funny, always makes sure to get along with all of her students, and makes sure she makes a connection with each one.

Mrs Stayton is an amazing professor who truly cares about teaching you. She is great at grading on time and giving back valuable feedback. Her class isn't easy but all it takes is hard work and thoughtful work to get a good grade. Also Im writing this because she said people never write nice feedback so... HA here is a nice feedback.

Sarah is one of the best professors/ teachers I have ever had. She is so kind and honestly such a great professor, she does not force her opinions upon you. Every single person has a voice in her class. Loved the face to face discussions, helped me learn a lot through this semester. Excited to get her another time. She is the BEST.

I took Prof. Stayton for dual credit English 2 in the summer semester. Her class was pretty straight forward; there were weekly discussion boards and papers, but the formula felt pretty simple to do well. There's minimal reading, only around 3 readings/20-30 pages a week (but you can get away with only doing an essay and discussion board about 1).
