Sara is very cool and fun. She makes the lectures a valuable learning experience for the real world. Unfortunately, her tests are super hard and I failed almost all of them even though I studied my butt off. Approach with caution!

Sara is a really amazing TA. She is really interested in the material herself and she REALLY knows what she's talking about. She's realatively tough in grading, but she's also pretty fair. I would highly recommend her.
