Reviews of professor Sarah Portway

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I absolutely LOVE Portway! by far the best professor i've had. She is super nice, caring, knowledgeable, and has a goofy personality. She keeps lectures entertaining which makes it easy to pay attention. Assignments/projects are pretty easy as long as you know what you're doing. TAKE PORTWAY if you have the change to!! she is fantastic!!

Odd teacher but overall nice. If you are struggling you can go to her. The class isn't too hard. She puts all her power points online and there are easy blackboard quizzes almost every week. She tries to make jokes in class and can be very awkward but you can tell she is a caring person. Most classes were lectures andonly used textbook for quizzes.

I loved her apparel in Econ class it was structured very well and transitioned smoothly to online during COVID. However, her FASH journalism class I have found to be extremely workload heavy and overwhelming. Avoid this course especially if you have zero interest in becoming a fashion journalist. This rating is related only to FASH 300.

Professor Portways class was the most miserable class I have ever taken. This class gave me so much anxiety. She has you do a group project the entire semester, while making a due date on Thanksgiving. There are a lot of presentations with very cold feedback as well as comparing you to her other students. Super uplifting if you ask me right?

Literally amazing. Online quizzes are so easy and all of the answers are in the textbook. She cares so much for all of her students.
