Reviews of professor Sarah Maxey

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Maxey is the best professor I had this semester. I took PLSC 102 and was really excited about the content of the class but Maxey made it 100x better. Her lectures are clear, she never does any types of trick questions, and her tests aren't that difficult as long as you know the information. I would take her for every PLSC class if I could.

Easiest sociology credit you can get, clear and easy lectures, posts them online so you only have to go Friday for discussion. Vocab heavy but she teaches it so well that it makes perfect sense just take notes and read them the night before the test. 2 midterms 15% each, says what's expected, weekly easy quiz 30%, final 20%.

Dr. Maxey is such a great professor!  I highly recommend taking her because she is flexible, and will always make time to meet with you outside of class. She allows four excused absences for this class, only one exam, and weekly reflections which aren't super tedious. Overall, definitely take her!!!

Professor Maxey is a great option for PLSC-102! Her class is a pretty easy A as long as you complete the weekly reading quizzes and attend class. Her lectures can honestly be extremely boring if you're not super invested into international relations but I think that any student can easily understand the broad concepts in her class and get an A.

Prof. Maxey is so so sweet and caring! The weekly assessments are an easy grade-booster throughout the semester. Exams are clear in their expectations and easy to do well on because they are open-note, on your own time, online, and she offers a study guide beforehand. Lectures are posted as videos online so no worries if you miss something in class

Dr. Maxey is one of the best professors I have ever had. She is incredibly accommodating and you can tell how passionate she is about international relations. She has engaging classes with simulated international crisis situations and is a very fair grader. You'll have a great time in her class as long as you show up, listen, and want to learn!

Great class, great professor. Plenty of opportunities for group discussion (with a discussion section each Friday) and the mid-semester 'crisis simulation' was a really fun way of engaging with the material. Everything is available online, so while you do need to attend the discussion sections it's no worry if you miss a lecture or two.

Clear and easy lectures! Plus, she posts them online in case you miss class. Attendance is only required on Fridays. There are 2 midterms 15% each, says what's expected, weekly easy quiz 30%, and a final that's worth 20%. She is very accessible outside of class and cares about the wellness of her students.
