Reviews of professor Sarah Hirsch

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
For an online class you have to read on your own. I suggest you seek out help from the professor so you dont get left behind. She is approachable. Also practice questions are the way to go. Lots of PrepU assignments, discussions and weekly quizzes plus math exam, midterm and finals. its hard but doable. Just put in the work and it can be done.

Her pharmacology class was pretty easy online. Every week theres homework assignments, a test or two, and easy med math. Also drug cards and discussion postings on some weeks. Everything is open book, except the final. The final is hard so make sure to actually pay attention to all of the main drugs. Dont bother buying the books new.

As long as you follow her directions, you can make a good grade in this class! She gives you an entire week prior to the midterm and final to just study with no assignments. 1 math test, 1 midterm, 1 final, and weekly prep u assignments. 4-5 discussion posts for the entire semester. Very doable workload.

Professor Hirsch is awesome!!!!! She gives you a lot of information, but it is because she really wants you to learn everything. I'm so glad she is one of my professors

Im taking her currently and this is probably the worst professor Ive ever had in my 4 years at Lone Star College. She does not respond to emails, no help at all, and does not teach anything. You only read your textbook/power points! Midterm/final are 50% of grade. DO NOT TAKE HER! You will learn NOTHING! My midterm is next week and Im clueless!

Professor Hirsch is an apex professor. She knows her stuff through and through, she CARES about her students, and she has THE BEST lectures. That being said, nursing school is HARD and your grades are EARNED. Professor Hirsch prepares you for the real world. Don't be scared, just be prepared to work very hard.

IMHO, 5-6 chapters a week was border line ridiculous but biggest complaint was each exam especially the first covered such a huge swath of material it was difficult to study for. She needs to have more exams over smaller segments. (I took the 8-week class.) Be ready to study and put in the hours.

There were PrepU assignments, discussion boards and exams. Please read the chapters assigned and know your drugs. It is not an easy class but just stay on top of your work and make sure to dedicate time to this class. I took it as an 8 week course over summer but it was doable.

Professor Hirsch doesn't spoon-feed you; it's a tough class. There are many PrepU assignments due weekly, which can be pretty time-consuming. Tests are extremely specific and study-guides are fairly general, so reading is a MUST. The midterm and final pretty much determine your grade. I really feel like I didn't learn the material effectively.
