She is amazing, chill, young and hip. TAKE HER! I wish i could have her for all my classes, she is very cool and hard to fail.
She is a great professor. Definitely recomend taking her class. Shes very imformative but it's an easy class if you show up tp class and turn in assignments one of the nest instructors i've ran across so far in my College career.
She was a great teacher. i highly recommend taking her class. She knew a lot about Psychology and was very helpful. She is young, hip and fun to talk to.
Very fun, likes to spice up things and really cares about her students. She is awesome take her!
BEST PROFESSOR EVERR!!!!! I would recommend her and only her for psych... She makes the class fun and super easy. :)
This professor is awesome!!! Take her! There are five tests including the final, all oben book and some take home exams. There are two movie papers, a presentation over explaing an article you chose ( you also write a one page summary over it), and there is a major presentation. It sounds like a lot but she grades so easy! She is super nice and fun
She is a great teacher! There are so many opportunities for bonus points, I never made below a 110 on any test. All the tests are open book and very straight forward. She cares a lot about her students. I would definitely recommend her!
Dr. Sawyerr is the best teacher that I have had. She uses different teaching methods that help keep students engaged. If your on here to see what she is like you should take her class and not think twice. I am serious you will not regret it (: It is a ton of work but she will help you out !
She was extremely helpful and genuinely cared about me and my understanding.
Very nice professor. Actually engages you in class and keeps the class interesting. A lot of extra credit and open book exams. Definitely recommended!!
Use the book! Do your work early. Do extra credit!
She makes it interesting for you. Lots of games. Need the book definitely for the test. All the assignments might seem a lot but it'll go by fast!
AWESOME professor. Dr. Sawyerr knows the material. Not an easy A, but if you put some effort you're getting an A for sure. Tests are super easy and papers and projects no big deal.
Great professor. Use the book and attend the class. She's very nice and interesting. Just don't cross talk too much and listen to her.
TAKE THIS TEACHER! Best psychology teacher ever!
Awesome Professor
Great Teacher
I loved Dr. Sawyerr! However, she was a bit greasy at times...maybe it was just a morning thing. Anyway, I highly recommend her! Easy A and very interesting. She sometimes had a bad attitude so don't get on her bad side and remember to be involved in class discussions or she will penalize the entire class. Learned this from experience...
very knowledgeable teacher
She is a great professor! She always has different activities for the class to do, so it's not boring at all. She is also very intelligent! Take her! She is always helpful! Show up on time and do all the work and you should be fine.
She is a great professor. I strongly recommend you take her class. Be engaged in class discussions. Be on time for her class especially on test days. Do all your work and take advantage of extra credit assignments.
She is a good teacher, but there is definately lots of busy work and daily assignments. If you study and take advantage of the many extra credit opportunities she gives out, you will do fine.
Good teacher
Dr. Sawyerr is a great professor! She really knows her stuff and her class is really easy! She gives so many opportunities to raise your grade so if you don't get an A, you're doing something wrong! Take her if you want an easy A!
You must buy a textbook and study it for this class. It is imperative! Also, be sure to participate as a class, as this can determine whether she gives test reviews or not, and how she treats your class overall. Dr. Sawyerr is very helpful, and will answer questions you may need. Lesson from experience: READ THE BOOK. Did I already mention that?
Dr. Sawyer is smart and makes the class fun. She gives alot of opportunity for extra credit. She does not grade hard but you must do her assignments.
HER CLASS IS REALLY DYNAMIC, THE TEACHER IS A SWEET PERSON AND HELPS A LOT WHEN YOU NEED IT
Dr.Sawyerr is an incredible teacher! She will help you in every way she can! Also to pass with an A you need to buy the book! And she gives a lot of extra credit to raise your grade!
She will answer all your questios,but she likes to feel you're trying hard enough, if you follow her instructions you will do great on this class. You must use your book.
Great Professor, very animated, loves interaction. Extra Credit helps.
Dr. Sawyerr is a great and fun teacher. Though, I must warn you..there are a lot of assignments in the class: 5 major tests, a major group project, 2 movies review, and more little assignments/quizzes. However, they're not hard and she also gives lot of extra credit. I will highly recommend you to take this professor!
I would definitely recommend DR. Sawyerr!! Dont call her teacher or Ms. its DR.She wants to make your life easier, you have to TRY to fail if you fail this class. She will talk to you if you need anything. She shows really cool videos, and the entire class is always interested. Shes cool, sassy, funny, and friendly. Favorite professor!
She is not a easy professor. she gives us a lot of homework which we never can finish, but she also gives us a lot of extra credit. if you finish all of the extra credit, you will get A very easy.
Dr. Sawyerr as a strict learning method; textbooks, online hw, exams, group projects, movie revs, etc (see prev revs), BUT if you attend classes, participate, complete extra credit, and if you work your derriere off the hard work is worth an A. You gotta try, this class is not for slackers! Or for those with thin skin...
She gives alot of extra credit. she does give alot of assignments but as long as you do as many as possible you will pass. The class is very interesting. I would recommend to people who are willing to put in time outside of class
Cherry Sawyerr is a learner focused instructor who has a unique way of drawing the attention of the students trough her skillful use of different kinds of teaching aids, reinfocements and punishments during class.As long as you are consistent, this is one class you stand a good chance to get an A.
Dr. Sawyerr is a great instructor! Her class was thoroughly laid out in the syllabus and you can tell she takes a lot of her own time to give students the little extras to boost their chance for success.
Dr. Sawyerr is one of the best teacher on University Park Campus. Her teaching is good, and i have a lot of fun in her class. If you planning take Psychology, you should considered taking her class because she teach you a lot of thing that you never new in psychology. This class will Required book and online practice...
was pretty good, professor really wants participation.
Teacher was fun and easy. Would recommend taking her if you wanted an easy to pass class.
This teacher is great she explains everything pretty well. Not hard to get a good grade
fun easy class
She was a very fun teacher. One of my favorite classes.
i enjoyed this class completely. although at times the course may seem and or be difficult, it's probably because you're not paying attention or doing your work. this class will be a breeze if you listen. the book is beneficial, and quizzed/tests are included with material from there. Dr. Sawyerr wants the best for her students, do your part.
this course was very challeging, and sometimes frustrading because i wasnt sure on what to do, also the grades were never specified and showed to us
This class was very challenging a lot of work to do and make sure it was done on time. she does not let people in late during a test so recombined you're on time. The exams are challenging so study. she doesnt let you know what your grades are so try your best.
This class was a challenge for you didn't know the grades that we got only on exams. its good to have someone friends to help you so try your best.
She is a phenomenal prof. Its a lot of work, but I really enjoyed what I learned. But just know that you will have a lot of classwork thrown at you for you to do in short amounts of time.
Amazing teacher ! If you do your work and listen you will get an A,
She's an awesome teacher. Very laid back and she's very energetic. She's also very humorous. We used the book all the time in the class so be prepared to look through it because she usually had slides she went through and explained in a little more detail about certain things. Also do the online work, that helps your grade quite a bit. Good Luck!
shes good very helpful
I would not recommend this teacher for psychology 2301. First off you do not get a study guide for tests so study VERY HARD. Also, the test questions are very indirect and(you wouldnt have thought it was important from the book). If you want to pass this class you have to really do the online homework which was fairly time consuming. good luck!
Don't take her online class! ): It was a horrible experience. She may be a good teacher in class, but online it is a mess! Assignments instructions are VERY vague and short, homework from the book is constant, and there is an overload of assignments. Nearly everyone in the class dropped out but me and a few others because it was so confusing. ):
her class is too difficult. it seems no way to pass her class. five essay, five exam and practices,quiz on line. it's more sounds like a writing class. feel very sad because I have to drop the class....
Love her very much. this class is very interesting but also very challenging. If you work hard and passionate about what you are doing. you will do great!
Dr. Sawyerr was very helpful in answering questions quickly by email. I took the class as a winter mini-mester. I did well, but it required a lot of work. Be prepared to be very self disciplined.
There was a ton of work to do in a very short time! Worst idea I've had in a while. Let me take a three week online course over something I have no clue about. Dr. Sawyerr was very helpful when I would actually ask for help!
She replied to emails very quickly and is always very willing to help her students. I took her online 3 wk mini mester. You have to be very focused and determined to pass. there are 5 papers, and 5 exams along with homework. very time consuming, but I am on my way to make an A, so it is possible. ALL APA format, so you may need prior knowledge.
Took the class online. Very easy class. Everything is straight forward and upfront. Complete at your own pace besides exams which can only be completed on certain days. The professor is awesome. She returns emails immediately and grades very fast.
Professor is very quick to answer emails and provide help and she gives good feedback on assignments. I took the online 3-week mini-mester class. Lots of work, but it is laid out very clearly. The textbook is an absolute must and a good understanding of APA formatting is key.
This professor is very helpful. She is dedicated to her students and tries to work with you if you are having any problems with the class.
I took her for the Winter minimester and it was it was difficult for me personally because of the tests. That is what killed me but other than that it is great class.
Dr. Sawyerr is an amazing instructor and I highly recommend this instructor to other students needing to take Psyc.
I find it very humorous how the same reviews are being wrote from like two months ago. That's how you know she isn't a good teacher if she has to rate self to get students. Good job sawyer
She doesn't care for her students success. She believes she really is better than everyone else. All she cares about is getting through the material quickly and complains when we ask questions. Probably one of the rudest professors i've had. Not helpful. She gives no reviews and tests are never straight forward or out of the text book! Do not take!
Her class isn't very difficult you just have to do the work. However, she is one of the rudest teachers I have ever had. She looks down on her students a lot and seems to give preference/leniency to some students. If I had to take this class again I would not take her.
Her work isn't hard, her tests can be challenging. This professor makes you interested in psychology, her bad quality is her attitude. At times when you ask a question she makes you feel like "uh that's a dumb question, what are you doing?" I'm not sure if she knows that.. the way she responds can come off harsh. Get there on time, she's punctual.
Dr Sawyerr is very prompt to answer emails. She also provide help and she gives good feedback on any given assignments. She even stays after class to provide more clarity.I took her class in fall 2013. Lots of work,challenging but everything is really perceptible. The textbook is a MUST. Make sure that you come and do your homework on time.
awesome professor. many assignments to do including connect which is an online course. tests are challenging but if you read your textbook, you will be fine. i made an A in this class and i enjoyed this class a lot. it was very interesting.
Dr. Sawyerr was extremely helpful if there was ever a problem, and she is also very organized. The tests are easy as long as you study. She gives plenty of opportunities for extra credit as well.
Dr.Sawyerr is a Great professor, she is very organize, she replies to e-mails, and uses the textbook as well as powerpoint and YouTube video in order to understand the concept, which is very helpful to me since I'm a visual learner. I really enjoy her class.
She is seriously the best professor I've had. Her class is interesting, and engages her students in activities and videos. Very well organized, professional and caring. Would not have picked anyone else, she is the best. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
She is an awesome teacher, she will make you think outside the box.
Totally awesome teacher. Very clear and love the way she teaches. Would take another class with her for sure.
She is an awesome professor. Very helpful and clear. Tons of opportunities for extra credit. I would take another class with her for sure.
Professor Sawyer is one of the best, and most memorable professors I've ever had. I greatly enjoyed the class. She is very helpful, when you actually ask for help. She may come off as rude to some people but really, she just doesn't put up with any BS. She leaves it up to YOU to decide whether you are going to take the class seriously.
She is a very interesting individual. Stay away. Never had so much trouble with a class or teacher until I took this class.
Material that she covers, or speeds through, is pretty useless for the tests. Seems very subjective... Just like anyone that teaches Englishpsychologyphilosophy, though she is more so than any other teacher I have ever dealt with. There is a lot of work, so if you don't like it, don't take her.
Excellent Instructor!!
RUDE! This professor has a horrible attitude. Worst experience ever. I wish I would have dropped the class. Total waste of time. Rushes through material, but takes time to talk down to her students. I passed her class but took the class over again with a different instructor because I learned nothing in her class.
She will be tough and hard on students who act up, but she will be a sweetheart if you do her work.
She is not a very clear teacher, at least online. All of her assignments are from the book's website, so it's not like she makes up the tests. The tests are not hard, but all of the assignments are to be written essays. She's a hard grader, takes a long time to grade your papers, and does not give feedback as to why. I would avoid taking her again.
If you're looking for an easy A do not take her. You have to study for her class a lot and there's a lot of assignments. She acts like she knows everything and gets really annoying. Got an A but I would not take her again
I have taken several college courses and have little interest in psychology but she was, by far, my favorite professor. If you show her you care about your GPA and the class, she will be just as dedicated to helping you succeed. She is funny, engaging, knowledgeable, and professional. I have never had such a caring and incredible professor.
Dr. Sawyerr is a cool professor & is there for her students when they need hellp. she is scary sometimes but she is a good person. u have to be serious about her class
To get an A in this class is very, very simple. READ THE SYLLABUS! There you go I just got you an A. several people in my class were upset about their grades but its because they didn't do what she asked. A lot of group work so if at all possible take with a friend you can count on.
Was worried about taking this class, but didn't realize how easy it was to pass! Really down to earth and funny. if you don't understand something, she will make it easier you for to understand.
This professor is one of the best so far. Her class is very easy to follow. You have 4 exams (they are projects, mainly videos). She is not a tough grader as long as you have your project ready on the day its due. She can get strict and sassy sometimes but it is impossible to fail. She has everything laid out for you in the syllabus.
Very good teacher gets the class engaged to learn
The syllabus is very detailed!!!!!!! Which means follow it to the t. If you follow the syllabus, hand your work in on time, and put the effort it takes in to get a A, you will get a A. No reason to fear this professor she is amazing trust me ive been out of college for seven years and i got A. She knows her stuff in and out so be ready to have fun.
Perfect Psych teacher. I would take her again in a heartbeat. She makes the class fun and dynamic, however, you MUST read the syllabus.
There are no test. The tests are projects but it is easy if you make them fun. You choose at the beginning of semester to work with a group or alone for the entire semester. She is fun and easy to get along with unless you don't try then she won't care for you. The only negative thing was her statement always was "it's on the syllabus"
Don't take this professor. This professor does not treat students with respect, she talks to them like children. Despite doing every extra credit and incorporating research into my assignments she would never give me anything above a 90. Full time students this class is extremely time consuming. Do not form a group and get on her good side.
This was my favorite class this semester. Group projects are life or death. Some people who would have to work twice as hard because their partner(s) would not put in any effort. Therefore, choose your group carefully. It can be a very fun class if you are creative with your projects & Don't be intimidated she's not as mean as she looks. Take her!!
Professor Sawyerr is an amazing professor and hands out a lot of extra credit. You work in groups for everything so pick wisely and you only have to write two papers. EVERYTHING is on the syllabus.
Lots of group work, so make sure you choose the right group members! lots of extra credit easyyyyy A!! Take her!
Hate this class but she does you the chance for extra credit.
Amazing Professor! Gives lots of extra credit! 6 exams in total, out of which 5 are videos to be done with your group. Easy A if you read the syllabus!
If you put the effort into this class, she will respect you more. Your grade reflects the effort! Long sylabus, 17 pages. Read it several times. Anything you need to know is on it. She is good about answering any questions, but don't expect to be spoon fed directions. Listen and take notes about assignments.
At First She seems cool. She talks down to the students she has her days but overall everything you need to know is in the syllabus. Major grades are mostly video projects. If you have a crappy group you will get a crappy grade. Choose Wisely and get on her good side.
I took her over the summer. The class is mostly project based, but the projects are fun and creative. There is only one traditional exam and it's open-book. Everything else has to do with knowing the material enough to have fun like Charades or breaking social norms. Take her humor with a grain of salt and you'll be fine. Pick a good group!
God she made me so furious. She's rude and disrespectful. Her class shouldve been an easy a because it was structured much like a high school class but she graded ridiculously hard for no reason. Majority of the work is group work unless you decide to work alone. You really have to go over and beyond to get an a. Do NOT take her hated it so much
She's a fun teacher, but she tends to give unnecessary attitude towards students, rather than just being direct and helpful. It often feels like she is being very rude and condescending. She is fun and lecture is never boring, but I've never felt so shocked by the way a professor interacts with students.
This was my first semester back after taking a 4 year break from school, and she was not the teacher I should have chosen. She is condescending and rude towards students and did not want to answer most of the classes questions.
Considering she is a DR, she likes to take up class time to argue with students. She doesn't explain everything because everything is in her 20pg syllabus. She tends to have really bad mood swings also tends to miss her own class as well. Lastly if you asked a question regarding the projects she might get very irritated. Don't be late to her class.
She is the worst teacher ever. She is rude and if you have a question, she is not going to answer because everything is in the syllabus and if you have a question is because you haven't read the syllabus. She thinks she is super cool but she is not. I would not take her again.
Rude. Lots of projects assigned groups. shes okay overall professor.
She is definitely NOT meant to be a teacher!! There's favoritism towards students when it comes to grading. If youre literally 5 seconds late to class she will not let you in and will be really unreasonable about it. Your learn NOTHING from this class. Her attitude is mainly what makes me hate this class, you will get an A if you're her favorite.
She expects you to know the material before she lectures over it, so there's no point of her lecturing. You have to read the book on your own to pass the tests because her lectures are not very informative. She's very rude and tries to be intimidating. She's a really hard grader. And don't be late to class or you don't get to come in.
Read the syllabus and do your assignments. Be on time for class and participate. Dr. Sawyerr awesome and her lectures are very informative. She knows her stuff, you will learn a lot of things that are applicable in the real world. Pay attention and be present in class. Ask questions and go to class with an open mind.
Taking this class has taught me so much.. I've never come across a professor that is as dedicated as Dr. Sawyyerr is about the subject she teaches. She makes lectures interesting by implementing different methods of teaching. She doesn't not bore you by reading off the slides.. I would definitely recommend taking Psyc with Dr. Sawyerr!!
First off, all of these negative Nancy's about how long her syllabus is and how you actually have to work to get an A in her class is right. You children expect to get an A for just showing up.. Not and everything is in her very detailed syllabus so you should be happy, to know what she expects IF YOU DON'T TAKE HER YOU WILL REGRET IT BEST EVER
Took this class as it was the only psychology class still Open (Wonder why?) She is very ungrateful, Tries to intimate and look down on students. If you're 4 minutes late, might as well go home as she will Not let you in. Shes a "DR" she is very rude if you call her anything but Doctor. theres 6 major exam video projects mostly done with a group.
I just have this to say! Dr. Sawyerr is amazing. yes she is a Dr. so respect her. Show up to class on time. You want respect so respect her. her class is fun and if you follow the syllabus you will pass. She is awesome!!
Dr Sawyerr is an amazing professor who cares about her students! She gives a good amount of extra credit and her exams are video projects which is very fun and easy to do. Her lectures are interesting and dr sawyerr is very knowledgeable. Absolutely take her for psychology as it was the most fun class that i took this semester. Highly recommend!
Dr Sawyerr!! She is the best professor that i have ever had! Her lectures are easy to follow and she is very intelligent. She loves to help her students and gives plenty of extra credit! She has 4 video exams which are very easy and fun to do. I highly recommend to take her! Her office hours are very convenient and she responds to emails promptly!
Dr. Sawyerr is tough, but fair. She is direct, but not rude. Attendance in class is mandatory. Offers a lot of extra credit. You have to work for your grade. This is college. If you cannot do the work then you should go back to high school.
Without a doubt, Dr. Sawyerr is the BEST psychology professor. She exhibits all of the leadership and other fundamental aspects a teacher needs to further the success of her students. She makes you work for your grade but gives such clear instructions that it's difficult to fail. She is motivational, inspirational, passionate, and determined.
She is nice, do your work you will pass. She is sassy but makes the class fun. Easy A
Very hard coarse. She has no simpathy for her students. Would not take again....
She is teaching Statistics for all you nursing majors or anyone else who needs the class for another degree or for an elective. Going to be an amazing class and fun time. I took her into class and loved it, I am going to take her next semester.
Dr. Sawyerr is an amazing professor. She is very sassy but she really cares about her student. She is very clear about her criteria. Just do the work, and follow her syllabus. Be on time to class especially for exams or you will not be allowed in class. She offers extra credit and works with you if you need help. I highly suggest this professor.
Read the syllabus and be on time. There is a lot of group projects so choose your group wisely. As long as you follow the syllabus you should be fine.
Dr. Sawyerr is very strict and she is probably the least patient person I have ever met. She is extremely unforgiving and very passive-aggressive. Although she teaches well and her lessons are interesting and engaging, I would not recommend taking her class if you aren't very tolerant.
Read the syllabus, don't be late, and pick your group wisely and you will pass. If you not ready to leave your high school ways don't take her class. She is very straight forward and her lectures is amazing. I will take her again
Dr. Sawyer is the best!
She just does not know how to be a teacher. She is super mean, and she has no patience whatsoever.
Just walking into this class I become uncomfortable. She is so terribly rude. She will try her very hardest to make you feel stupid and inferior to her. She is so innapropriote and unprofessional. One of those types of people who thinks they are always right. It's not a wonder she's teaching psychology instead of actually working in the field.
I would definitely take this professor again, because she is very respectful and helps the best she can.
It's such a dummy proof class, no lie. Professor Sawyerr provides everything in the syllabus and D2L step by step and with extra resources/examples. She also hands out extra credit like candy, so, so many opportunities to make an easy A. Just do the work and you won't fail. Super simple.
Dr. Sawyerr cares for each and every student of hers. She's a fun teacher and there's the right amount of work, just do it and you'll ace the class.
This class was easier than I thought it would be. It is very interactive and you always know what work is due because it is in the syllabus. The inclass discussions were ones that made you want to participate. Overall an easy A if you show up and do the work.
The class room discussions are very interesting, but do not completely explain or go over materials on the test. The online assignments are VERY easy to forget about since you do not need to read to understand the class discussions. The test are online and you have plenty of time to complete. I would have preferred to take online to actually learn.
Without a doubt one of the best professors I've ever had. She gives you every chance she can to give you an A, hands out extra credit almost every class, and follows the syllabus almost exactly. She has a crude sense of humor, so just know how to take a joke. I wish she taught more of the classes I need!
Dr. Sawyerrs class is very intense from the start. However, she lists every single assignment in the syllabus at the beginning. By doing so, we are given the responsibility of balancing workload. She uses a great techinique to challenge us on the skills we need to prepare in the real world workforce. She is very knowledgeable and makes class fun
Dr. sawyer is awesome! she has super interesting lectures and is super outgoing as well as funny. she likes to joke around as if she was one of our peers (which actually made the class more fun) so dont take anything to heart. she cares a lot about her students so if you have a good reason for whatever she will be more than happy to accommodate.
Dr. Sawyer is my favorite professor, not only was it because of her personality but the way she made me feel welcomed. Her lectures are super fun and she's straight up with everything. TOTALLY recommend her!!!
Dr. Sawyerrs class is solid! Her attitude is what makes the class fun, it was one of my favorite classes in a past semester. The work is not too hard, just take notes and listen to the lectures.
Dr. Sawyerr is an amazing professor, she is very fair, communication is key when you need help. She puts effort into her syllabus, everything you need to know is located there. She is passionate about her courses which makes it easy and fun to learn the material. Do your work and participate and you'll get an A
Dr. Sawyerr wasn't a very effective teacher. All tests & quizzes are online & open note/partner/google. There was a simple group project & a couple essays. All easy work, however I don't feel as if this class was beneficial b/c everything was "open book" Didn't take notes? No prob. She didn't really teach, just read the PP, that you can download.
Dr. Sawyerr's online psych was so much better compared to the large lecture hall experience I had the first time I took this course. She was very empathetic when I made an error, and really wants to see her students do well in the class! She give you plenty of chances for extra credit if you need it.
I took her class fully online over the summer. All her work is on Connect, she literally did not teach anything. A lot of easy assignments on there, plus an APA format essay every week. She doesn't accept late work unless you run it by her first. But if you do the work on time, youll pass.
Dr. Sawyerr is the BEST! Her lectures are very interesting and she is hilarious! I love her personality! Take her! Exams and homework is ONLINE! it is the best!!
Very rude. You would think that you will finally be treated as an adult in college, well not with her. I get that she's older but she does not have to humiliate students in front of the class. She will look at students dumb if they don't have a psychological answer when it could be just your opinion! Wait till next semester instead of taking her.
She makes you feel as uncomfortable as possible. Incredibly rude attitude and makes you feel uneasy asking questions during class, and lord forbid if the question you asked her is on the syllabus. And as another person mentioned, she humiliates students in class and tries to psychoanalyze every small thing making it impossible to have an opinion.
Be sure to attend class especially for Presentation days and when she tells you to do a specific assignment be sure to do it. Take advantage of all the extra credit opportunities. Be sure to keep up with the syllabus, be sure to always read the power points before class and be prepared to discuss or participate everyday. Her tests are online.
Hand's down the worst professor I have ever taken. As an A student, I have never had to deal with a more unprofessional and rude professor in my life! Her emails/announcements always have syntax errors (though she takes points off if YOU do, hypocrite), & she catches attitude even through an email. I'm beyond happy I never have to take her again.
Do not take her!! She will give you an attitude if you do not greet her as soon as you walk in and makes you get out and walk back in to do it... ridiculous! She treats you as a child and does not respect you as an adult. NEVER grades on time.
This class was a class I orignally hated cause of all the work, and sometimes even sass from the professor. But by the end of it I loved the class and I was so glad I was pushed at times and called out for being lazy and being able to do better cause this is college. Honestly one of my favorite classes and crazy that it was from lonestar lol.
Condescending and not good with communication.
Professor Sawyerr is an excellent teacher. I personal never cared for math and always saw it as my weakest point, but thanks to her! I no longer am afraid of doing the work. She really cares and wants the best for her students. However, make sure to attend class and do your work. Participation does matter! Lastly, I recommend her class definitely.
She went out of the way to help me succeed
Sawyerr was really tough in the 1st week of my 6-week summer class, but we talked things over and she was one of the best profs. A little outgoing- lots of class participation. also- say good morning/afternoon- she loves that. I got a high A on every project- just follow the rubric & work hard and you will be fine.
There are really no clear directions for assignments, then you look up and she gives you a lower grade without comments. Her communication with the class is very poor as well. She will not give direct feedback. The textbook doesnt help at all and is not used.
This professor literally provides no instruction. She just gives you the textbook and says to take all of the quizzes. The only instruction you will get is in the syllabus, she won't even answer questions about the errors in her syllabus. Overall vague so the grading criteria makes no sense, you can follow the syllabus to a T and still get an 80.
Dr. Sawyer lacks the professional decorum of a higher education instructor. If you prioritize grades over receiving a valuable education, this professor is for you. But, for those, like myself who doesn't only pursue high grades but a good learning experience, this professor will disappoint you. She lacks clear instruction and communication.
The one thing I can say without being rude is never take her. If you care about yourself and your sanity then please dont take her. If you see shes the only professor left then just wait to take the class another time. She is rude and is not willing to listen to her students since she thinks everything she says is always right, when its not.
She was very unorganized, and chaotic. She was unfamiliar with her own syllabus. The due dates were off, her announcements were off, quizzes were off, discussion post were off and everything was overly complicated because the organization was off. I am disappointed in this professor.
I reached out to her a lot b/c I struggled with online learning during quarantine. She responds quickly to my emails and even answers her cell after late hours. She is very detailed with her responses and organized with her assignments. She is caring and has given me an extension on an assignment when I missed the deadline due to work.
THIS LADY was HORRIBLE IM telling you I am a great student I love to learn but this woman is very unprofessional not to mention she is RUDE PLEASE DO NOT TAKE HER IM WARNING YOU she does not grade fairly and I have a 3.8 I barely passed her class if you care about your OWN MONEY and Grade do not take her
Do the homework and take notes
She's not a bad Professor, however she is very strict. The main thing you should know is that attendance is mandatory!! 20% of your grade to be exact. If you are taking her I wouldn't recommend taking her in the morning, and I would go to office hours! Professors are more inclined to help students they have a relationship with.
Please don't take this class. You will be failed for no reason. Didn't even learn anything
