Sarah was the best professor I had during my spring semester! Super helpful and clear with instructions and any questions you have. She's responsive and well-spoken in regards to applying our knowledge into our world now and all her content. Readings were a bit confusing at times but she made sure we understood when we asked questions!Rate My Professors ↗
