Reviews of professor Sara Abrahamsson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Prof. Abrahamsson really cares about her student's success. There are planned weekly quizzes, but if you dont do well, she offers make up homework so it is pretty easy to keep an A. Lectures can get a bit dull, but if you can do the homework/practice problems, you should do really well in the course. Overall a fantastic person and a good experience

It seemed like the professor didn't care about the class. It's about halfway through the course and I can safely say they haven't been here for about 75% of it. Wouldn't recommend

Lectures fall behind hw schedule, she allowed late assignment w/o penalty and retry if you want more pts. Dont save for last minute it can stackup. 6 hw (60%), 2 presentation project (20%.), 1 takehome final (20%) generous grading system but looking for specific things in assignment ow lose points but can redo. Interesting topics need to dig in.

Abrahamsson clearly puts the absolute minimum effort into teaching the class. Her short lectures consist solely of her doing 2 or 3 example problems (oftentimes incorrectly) with no actual teaching. Luckily the class is super easy, but you definitely wont learn much at all from her.

I went into this class thinking she was going to be a great teacher, but she's okay She definitely tries to teach and cares about you passing(we had a midterm and everyone failed, so she allowed a retake), however I couldn't understand the material from her. The lecture felt rushed and half the time she ended class early or had a substitute teacher

Had Dr. Abrahamsson for Optics/Microscopy. She's really passionate about her work, and that enthusiasm shows in her teaching. Exams were easy if you did the homework and asked questions. She wants you to understand the concepts, not get bogged down in the details (although for some parts, details were important!) Would definitely take her again!
