Reviews of professor Sarah Lavelle

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took the 7wk1 course. The class was hard but the teacher definitely does not deserve a 1. We had 18 chapter tests, 4 tests, and about 6 assignments. The assignments were long but not hard. Chapter tests could sometimes be hard, but you got 3 tries. The tests were sometimes hard if you skim the material. If you read the material, it is an easy A.

I took this class as a freshman and was so scarred that I'm only now reviewing as a junior. Along with what other reviewers have mentioned, the grading guidelines were often unclear or she went back on what she explicitly said was accepted. I've taken 400 level classes that had less work. Don't take this class, especially the honors section.

This professor made it impossible to do well.The material is not up to date, and the exams often fail to open on time. There is no material associated with the class outside of textbook readings and the quizzes, meaning there  are no lectures or lecture slides. Lastly, the instructions for assignments were unclear.

Get ready to spend hours on every homework assignment. I had to email her three times before I got an answer. Sometimes there would be two quizzes in one day over completely different topics, and a lot of the time they were topics we had not gone over yet.

She have me a zero on an exam because I went THREE MINUTES over the time limit. I had spent 7 hours studying for the exam and knew the material very well- she claimed to care about her students but I have never had a professor have a policy like this. The material was interesting, so this was very disappointing

This online nutrition class was very easy for me. There was usually one assignment due each week which would take me about one to two hours to complete. The chapter quizzes are easy and you get three attempts which helps your grade. Start assignments a few days before it is due because she might take some time to respond to emails.

Awful. She sometimes would give two quizzes on different chapters due on the same day. too much content to read let alone test on in such a short amount of time. Also is terrible at responding to emails. do better.

Overall a great teacher. She uses an online book for class notes which was easy to follow and take notes on. Quizzes came directly from the book. Some homework assignments are time consuming but this was a 7 week course. I found her course easy to accomplish as long as you put effort in. She is a caring instructor and wants the best for everyone

Excessive (esp. for Gen Ed), busy work assignments did not contribute to understanding of material or building of skills. Unnecessarily, unfairly and inflexibly strict with her grading and attendance. She converted an in-person class to online after the course started. Zoom lectures consisted of her reading slides. Avoid this class at all costs.
