Reviews of professor Courtney Hanway

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I thought the class was very well laid out. She did a great job. I took the 8 week online class so there is A LOT of reading but I loved the textbook she chose. She is very strict with deadlines but I thought they were all fair. She also gives three chances on the quiz which was VERY helpful! I would definitely take more classes that she teaches!

One of the most caring teachers I've ever had. You can tell she's dedicated to making sure every single student passes. She's fair, but not a pushover. Her grading is very personalized case-by-case. Put in the work, and she'll reward you.

Took her history class for 2 semesters history 121 and 134, I enjoyed taking her class, her lectures are long but overall all she says is in the textbook. Test and quizzes don't surprise you with things you haven't learned. Due dates are clear and she provides an accurate schedule, enjoyed taking her class.

She graded all most of the work on the last week of class. There was no way of knowing what grade you would get. She either gave a great grade or gave you 50%. I tried to get my grade up multiple times then she would go on a grading spree and my grade would go down. I found her to be rude and unhelpful.

She's very passionate and knowledgable about what she talks about. Tests and reading can be hard but as long as you read you should be okay.

This class was a giant snooze feast for me but the professor was fairly easy. The material is just heavy and boring, in my opinion. She made her expectations clear and attainable. Communication was also decent but wasn't right away so I wouldn't expect that from her.

If you're looking for an easy course to take while studying for difficult classes, choose a different one. She requires you read every week and memorize all the events and terms. This wouldn't be a problem if our exams won't half our grade. Don't think about using ChatGPT, she checks for it. It was an online class so maybe that why it's difficult.

I took her History134 online class and she was very supportive and would send out weekly messages of what was due which is appreciative when you are taking multiple classes. Grading was slow but she would let us know when she was behind and always made sure if we had questions that she was there to help. I would definitely take her again.

She is not meant to be a teacher, and that's okay!! She justdoes not know how to positively interact and encourage students. Won't accept any student feedback. She heavily lectures and at times it just feels like she likes to hear herself talk :/ Sure, she knows history, but she'd test us things on the test right AFTER we would take the test? awful
