Sarrah is a great, very intelligent mathematician. She, however, is not a great lecturer. She cares deeply about her students and the content she teaches, but she does not deliver good lectures. I recommend her if you care about her research (she has a great cv), but otherwise not a great teacher. Some other ratings are too harsh.Rate My Professors ↗
Her lecture maybe is not the best, but obviously she prepares a lot before lecturing, very caring and helpful during office hours.Rate My Professors ↗
Failed to reproduce the proof during lectures. But she is kind of nice (Maybe?).Rate My Professors ↗
Clearly cares about the students and is a nice teacher, but also very inexperienced and isn't that great at explaining difficult concepts. There were some topics in the course description that wasn't covered due to time issues (no Fourier series, approximation, differential equations) so if you're interested on those, it might be disappointing.Rate My Professors ↗
Real Analysis is a tough course to teach, particularly if it's your first time teaching it. The reviews below don't consider this. Y'all be thinking this is calculus when it's higher mathematics. Be prepared to study a lot and know how to solve all the hw and study guide problems, among others. Then, you may just about be able to manage... or not.Rate My Professors ↗
I think Sarah is a really nice person. She knows people by name which is amazing imo. However, this is a tough class so she might not teach really well or super prepared. I am sure it will get better. Other reviews are a bit harsh.Rate My Professors ↗
