Professor Richerson is a very educated, inspirational, and caring instructor who does her absolute best in making sure students are ready to succeed post graduation. Her feedback is extremely useful and it is very apparent that she genuinely wants what best for you. 10/10 I would recommend you take ANY course she is teaching!

Hannah is truly one of the most caring and amazing professors out there. I only wish that all my professors were as hardworking and lenient as this professor. She genuinely cares about you as a student to learn, not just about unnecessary assignments. The structure of the course was fantastic!

Hannah was the TA for my 1st semester bio lab class. She did a great job explaining topics and keeping everyone on the same page with plenty of emails and reminders. She graded hard but left good comments and really helped me improve my lab reports. She also had frequent check-ins with students to make sure everyone was doing alright.

Hannah was a great TA in this class. She always made us feel that she truly cared about us and was willing to go above and beyond to help with our research. She is a very honest and fair grader and gives very useful constructive feedback. I also liked that she always came with a very organized and well-structured plan for efficient use of time.
