Reviews of professor Sarah Smith

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
This is the second of her classes I've taken and she's the sweetest prof I've ever had. She's incredibly kind and approachable which makes participation a lot easier. The expectations for assignments are always clearly explained. Her classes are always interesting and engaging too. I recommend everyone in coms take a class with her!

Professor Smith is a nice prof with good lectures. She makes things very clear and you can tell that she cares about her work. She knows a lot about what she teaches and that essentially feeds into the fact that she expects a lot from students. There are WAY too many assignments given though, I would avoid her classes if you enjoy free time.

She's a nice professor and all but her teaching/ class structure style sucks. She makes students do a bunch of unnecessary readings, so be prepared to read a bunch of articles that she expects you to read but never even get the chance to discuss as a class because she always goes off topic. It is a waste of time reading articles.

Sarah is a nice prof, but this was by far the most overwhelming class I have ever taken in my four years of university. The word counts for each assignment were low, but you end up needing to double that word count to meet the requirements of the assignment. And yet, she marks tough. Extremely time-consuming. Lost my sanity + faith in learning

Sarah is an amazing teacher! She cares about her student's success by always providing constructive feedback on written assignments. Her lectures are helpful in teaching effective ways to write and argue through writing. Stay engaged, ask questions and her class will be so worth it.

This is a great class. Just show up and participate and you'll pass. Sarah gives direct instructions on what she wants, just do what she says and you will be fine. She is very clear and concise and I overall really enjoyed the class environment and the content.

Sarah was so awesome. Taking communications online freaked me out but no problem. Her discussion boards were actually relevant and helpful (even funny). A few more assignments than some of my other classes but they were all fairly easy. She is definitely the type that wants you to understand the material! Textbook ACTUALLY helpful. Great layout!

Lectures are fun and engaging but readings are long and often complex. (Three per week) Not sure if it's the prof or the TA, but it is a hard class. New topics every week which don't build on each other. Tough graders on assignments which can be ridiculous. (i.e 1200 word essay that must reference 5 authors and explain their work) Feels like rehab.
