Reviews of professor Sarah Hawkins

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Do not take this class for your mental health. Very afraid to ask for help. Awful class with this professor.

she's a really great professor! you definitely have to put in effort though. USE THE STUDY GUIDES, if you know everything on them, you're solid for the tests. Also participate in the weekly reviews, they're really helpful.

Challenging! If u keep up with reading/lab/lectures u can do well. Dr. H lectures well and encourages participation. She is knowledgeable & available if u have questions/concerns/need help. If u don't do well on something be sure to review & ask her questions to figure out any misunderstandings. High standards, but I learned a lot

lecture heavy but she tries to make it thorough so you understand better. hw every chapter but usually pretty easy/short. labs were fairly easy. grades are curved so an A in the class is an 85%, but her tests are pretty hard - but fair. textbook isn't necessary but she does have a few questions on the test on it (but majority based on lecture)

Hardest class I have ever taken. If you are taking this class make sure you don't have any other class because this will take up most of your time. Micro is definitely a hard class & no matter what you never feel prepared. Sarah tries to teach as best she can but expectations are set very high and exams are extremely hard so keep that in mind.

She is worst professor I had ever taken. For example, the last assignment was write down your own words in some specific lectures that we learned but when I write my own words she give me like 3/25. So dont take if you want good grade.

Very tough grader. Doesn't give any partial credits or points on exams and lab practicals. Hit it or miss it. Grades are mainly from exams and lab practicals, no quizzes. You have to put in a lot of effort and extra credit assignments are very long yet only worth 1 point. Half of the class withdrew.

Sarah is one of most laid-back professors I've had so far. Most of the work you have to do is on a monologue and two scenes for the class. As long as you put in the effort and show up regularly, you'll pass the class. There's only two quizzes and two papers for the mainstage shows throughout the semester, but Sarah gives really good feedback on it.

Most difficult class I've ever taken. Professor Hawkins is a wonderful professor, no doubt, but oftentimes the material she teaches is different than what's on exams. If you take this class, be sure it's the only one you're in as there is a ton of material you need to learn and focus on.

The class content his hard. She makes this class a fun learning experience. She is super caring and she wants you to pass her class she will do anything to help you. Her lectures are not boring at all and lab with her was super fun. I would recommend taking bio 107 with her.
