Reviews of professor Alexandra Hagen

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Nice teacher but she cancels class a lot. She cancelled 8 classes in the first 2 months before reading week. She makes us do a lot of group work/discussion. She doesn't give a lot of homework and she gives feedback on all assignments.

So easy to talk to! About literally anything! Just the friendliest prof ever, a lot of asynchronous go-at-your-own-pace material, and a lot of room for discussion and sharing opinions. Probably one of the most accessible profs I've ever had.

Don't take her during the summer especially with another class. The homework she gives is time-consuming. Every day you must complete online homework of 30 to 40 minutes. Every week there is a log to do ex: videos describing your room or short compositions and quizzes. She cancelled classes 6 time$$. It helps to catch up if you have another class .

Nice teacher but does not stick to her word. As mentioned in other reviews, she does not return grades. She had told us she would give us feedback so many times and have final grades ready by a certain date however she still hasn't graded anything. I cannot tell if my German has improved nor my English because of this. Mildly infuriating.

Lack of clarity on assignments and deadlines (of which there are many!). Assigns an unideal amount of homework; from essays to group projects, to presentations and videos, plus quizzes and multiple exams, that all end up being worth so little in the total grade calculation! She's very nice and will extend due dates but incredibly disorganized.

Professor Hagen is really sweet and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, she tends to cancel class and change the syllabus a lot, which gets the students confused and not sure as to when any work is due. Aside from the lack of transparence and organization, she is a great teacher and I would still recommend her.

Class was a little different this year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. A great and passionate professor who cares about her students' success. I would recommend this professor if you are interested in German culture from another interesting perspective. Her classes are easy to manage because she gives you a lot of time to complete assignments.

she is fine, but she cancels class a lot. I took this class because I wanted to learn German, but we ended up only covering half of the things we were supposed to cover. I feel that I missed a lot of skills and knowledge that other students gained from different teachers :(

many weekly readings the teacher is disorganized and will never return feedback on papers or presentations
