The class was a bit more work than expected. But, if you show up to class, you're very likely to get an A. Sarah is super interesting and engaging. Just be aware you will have to do a lot of reading. Exams are easy A's if you show up. Class is mostly casual discussion based and exams are based on what we did in class.Rate My Professors ↗
She is amazing! I would recommend anyone take this class if you are interested in analyzing text about the environment. I was never stressed for this class ever, very light. Just go to lecture and soak it up and you will do amazing! She truly is a wonderful teacher who cares about students on a deeper level than simply grades.Rate My Professors ↗
I took ENG533 with Sarah, and she is awesome! She is kind and cares a lot about her students. She is very enthusiastic and passionate about the subject matter that she teaches and she is inviting and encouraging when hosting class discussions. She's engaging and a relatable speaker and that makes you want to contribute to the class.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor was very understanding. The class format was engaging even with the switch to online classes. She gives feedback instead of percentage grades to each assignment and gives an overall grade at the end. The class was paced well and not too difficult to keep up with. It is obvious that the professor actually cares about her students.Rate My Professors ↗
Professor Ensor was one of the most understanding professors I have ever had. I took her course online and she understood the difficulty students were having during online courses. She works very hard at what she does and always provides feedback to our work we complete in her class. I would definitely take her again.Rate My Professors ↗
