Reviews of professor Sarah Arrington

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
35% of my grade is based on a group term project, you don't pick the members and she doesn't care if they don't pull their own weight. She doesn't grade her own papers, she has someone else do it and he was a very harsh grader. Her lectures sucked and most of the test does not align with the PowerPoints she uses to lecture. She's a nice person.

Dr. Arrington's lectures were both intuitive and informative. She does assign quite a bit of work to supplement the lectures, but it never felt like busy work. I Think the extra workload is what turned some individuals off of her class, and garnered some negative reviews. She cares about each of her students and is always easy to communicate with.

I really like Professor Arrington as a person, but I just cannot in good faith recommend the course due to the sheer amount of work 1801 is assigned. Between the lab and the lecture you might try and get a teacher that will not destroy your semester with the courseload she does. Its a shame because she is so nice.

Took her for BIO1801 lab and I should not be doing 5+ hours of work for a class that meets one day a week. The prelabs take 3x longer than the labs themselves. Just because classes are online does not mean people have more time to do more work. 0/10 would not recommend.

In the middle of a pandemic, most professors are understanding and lighten the workload for students. However in the case of mrs. Sarah arrington, she has given so much work that it has made my mental health DECLINE. This professor gives more work in a class that was supposed to be a one day than I receive in my four day a week class. IM FED UP.

Arrington is unnecessarily irrational with her homework. It is ridiculous that she assigns more work than my Bio lecture which is 80% of my final grade. She is unreasonable and inconsiderate of students who are trying to navigate online classes or are working. I would say dont take her but the way this class is set up if you need it you have to.

Super sweet, so educated, and always available for help. Maybe its just the class, but it was so awful that it made me change my major sooo quickly. So much work and the lectures, notes, and material just didn't really match up with the exams. If you are not willing to keep up with this work load, then you might as well never take this class.

We're in a pandemic and so all of our classes are online, Sarah decided this was the perfect time to give us 5-8 hours of work a week ON TOP of our 2 hour lab sections. There is no reason we should have so much work for just the lab portion of Intro Bio. She is the head of the department, so you might not be able to avoid her, but just be ready.
