Reviews of professor Sarah Deffit

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Sarah was amazing & great teacher! A&P is a tough class, you have to do the work, read the book & do the HW to pass. She is very good on feedback, she cares & wants her students to succeed. Best of all she gives ALOT of extra credit! She is always available for help and responds to emails fast. Her lectures can be a bit slow otherwise great class.

Dr. Deffit was amazing, especially for the sciences. Very responsive, weekly office hours, individual meetings, clear what to know criteria for exams, difficult class (lots of memorization), but incredible professor. She really wants you to do well, adapts the course every quarter to better help the students. Offers Extra credit.

It is a lot of work but if you pay attention to the lectures and the Things to know each week you will do well on the test. She really tired to make sure you understand the material.

The assignments and quizzes are all over the place. Instead of lecturing on one topic and then we get assignments, its multiple topics and then we take a test that goes over three lectures at once. All closed note and book. Its just ridiculous, it should be one topic, one quiz. Expecting us to switch between multiple hard topics is insane.

Not even the hardest A I had to work for. She makes everything clear on how to succeed. If you are organized and actually act like a college student you will get an A. She is accessible outside of class. I feel like the people who think she is rude for asking a question are just insecure lol. She was nothing but kind during 241&242.

She is a nice person, but her teaching style just did not work for me. You should expect to be putting in 30+ hours a week on this course alone. Her lectures were really dull, maybe just the fact that they were recorded because she seemed more enthusiastic in class. No extra credit and her tests are a bit tricky. Not the best experience for me.
