Reviews of professor Sara Hashim

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Excellent teacher and really cares about her students. Lectures are not only informative but engaging; there are a lot of presentations so be prepared for that but nothing is too difficult or too consuming. No such thing as busywork, every part of the class is useful for people in one way or another.

One of the best professors I've taken! She is so kind and interesting to listen to during lectures and I loved her class. Only thing was that it was online and the Zoom lectures would feel long, but the work is very interesting and she assigns fun projects with creative freedom and clear grading criteria. Awesome criticism and wants you to succeed!

Professor Hashim makes 3 hour long sessions super interesting and engaging, which is hard to do. I loved her approach to teaching. She is a tough grader though, so be sure to ask her how you can improve. English is not my first language and I felt penalized for writing in a structure/style that probably was better suited for my mother tongue.

Such an intelligent and caring professor! Great insights about current marketing trends in the industry. Learn so much practical information and pushes you to think creatively. Take assignments seriously because she grades them seriously! But really clear about her criteria/feedback. Lots of discussion and easy environment to get along with others.

Her brand strategy and design class is one of the best classes I've taken at nyu. I took her class when the pandemic hit and transitioned to remote, and she was super accommodating to me suddenly in a 13 hr time zone difference. She pushes you to think outside the box and has valuable insight into the industry. Highly recommend!

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Professor Hashim is nice and her class was super inspirational. I learned a lot about real-world marketing. Her classes are very organized. A lot of case studies. However, she is a super tough grader. She gave Cs and Ds to students' assignments. Not an easy A, but if you want to learn stuff and don't care that much about grades, take her class.
