Reviews of professor Sarah Nichols

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Sarah is a nice person, and she tries her best to make the class enjoyable. I will say that I found myself shopping or napping in her class though due to how boring her lectures are. They aren't terrible, but I had to fight sleep every day. Her grading is fair, and she is understanding if you miss a few classes.

ExpertTa is horrible, why even make a student go through that? I feel like this class has had a terrible impact on my mental health and the only good thing about this class is there are many extra credit opportunities. The extreme amount of homework that she gives far outweighs the extra credit though, and i feel like she needs to give way less .

The Physics dept in MT SAC is in shambles because this "prof" is the current dpt chair despite doing a poor job at it. She picks favorites and is condescending towards students of color. Homework is long and difficult with short due dates. Exams and homework were graded literally the week of finals with hardly any feedback. DO NOT TAKE!!

Professor Nichol is the department head for physics. You would figure she leads by example but no. The final exam was a few days away and exams 2 and 3 were not graded and passed back. Late on grading quizzes as well. A single day to finish your HW in expert TA. grade based on correctness not effort. Class always ends 15min after it is supposed to

She was really sweet at first and helped out. As the semester goes and continue it's like she loses contact. Even if you ask for a personal 1 on 1 meeting she'll ignore your email. I get that professor have a lot to do however, her job is to attend students even if they have alot of questions.

Very disorganized, basically all lab based, doesnt teach, doesn't give homework answers, doesnt give your test back, tests are hard, many short answers, although shes very enthusiastic, she goes fast and messy,homework is completely different from lab, no lecture, hasnt even submitted grades from weeks ago, tries to explain but comes out vague

Dr. Nichols isnt the worst, but her class just wasnt engaging at all. The lectures were boring and she hardly encouraged class discussion at all. It was basically her talking at the class and pausing to ask a question 2 or 3 times, which no one answered because we had all zoned out. Shes nice enough, and the class isnt that hard, just not fun.
