Reviews of professor Sarah Handley-Cousins

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
This class was a ton of writing (which is expected considering that it is a writing class) but she built a ton of flexibility into the course. You have the opportunity to enter a feedback loop to improve a grade on an assignment and a grace period where you can submit assignments late with no penalty. She is so nice and funny! Love her!

Professor Handley-Cousins is a great professor. I am currently taking her HIS 144 class as a pathway, and she provides so much energy in her lectures. She is very kind, caring, and hilarious. She is very approachable and is willing to answer any questions that you have for her. I strongly recommend this professor for any course she offers.

She is awesome and the grading criteria is very simple to understand. There's a lot of work to do, but that's to be expected for a writing class. She split it up into an easier timeline which greatly eased the workload. The lectures are very interesting and fun to be at. Very fair grader who gives opportunities to improve at every step.

I have taken HIS 209 The American Civil War, HIS 144 Intro to Health, Medicine, and Society, and her HIS 301 Historical Writing class. All of these are easy to not just pass, but to get an A in as long as you show up and hand in the work (graded pass/fail) and attendance is taken daily. She inspired me to be a history minor and is my fav prof.

Dr. Handley-Cousins brings vigor to every single one of her lectures. She cares about her students, and the material. Take any of her classes and you will you will enjoy it.

Amazing professor, she is one of the best history professors I have taken. This course is the history of western medicine, take it if you can, very rewarding and the papers are interesting. Grading criteria not clear with papers, strict with grading. You will read 100-200 pages a week, its worth it for the experience, just don't fall behind.
