Reviews of professor Sara Racz

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Lectures essentially consist of Racz reading off slides. Professor can be difficult to reach outside of class--occasionally ignores e-mails. Is frequently unable to answer students questions--responds with "I'll get back to you on that". However, I will credit her that she creates study guides for every quiz that are reasonably helpful.

She's new so she had (in my opinion) a rough start maybe it was due covering a lot of chapters at first. She got better at lecturing as time went on. The structure of the class likely was the reason for students not doing so well, I'd assume many didn't read the book or practice . Read the book and pay attention and it should be easy.

Dr. Racz is a sweet woman and easy to talk to. Her lectures go very fast, luckily she posts the slides. The tests are about average difficulty. She gives A LOT of extra credit.

Dr. Racz is probably the most below-average professor I've had in my time at SDSMT. Subpar lecturing skills and "reading off slides", tests that are heavily book-based and vague, when the reading isn't mandatory (be prepared to read your ass off if you want an A), and generally unhelpful. Do NOT take BIOL151 as one of your electives.

It was an asynchronous class with a lot of long homework assignments and tests to make sure you know the material. I made a study group with other people in the class and it made it soooo much easier to get through the long assignments
