Has a nice personality and enjoys what she does. However, all the class consist of is power point so your sitting in the dark for a 1 hr 15 mins trying not to fall asleep. She does gives reviews for the tests and copies of the notes. The tests are extremely difficult. However, she gives extra points for attendance... Overall a difficult class...

This lady has NO BUSINESS TEACHING !!! Worst teacher I have ever had. You will NOT learn from coming to class. Just reads right off the useless powerpoint provided by the makers of the book. You will have to READ THE BOOK to pass; which defeats the purpose of having a teacher and coming to class.

She is more than fair.She makes herself available for clarification and explanation. AP is a tough subject, you need a tough teacher. Her students will be the ones that excel in their fields due to having had her as their teacher. Those that didn't like her, most likely didnt do well. My advice to them is take responsibility for your selves.

Don't trust the negative reviews. She is truly a great and passionate Professor. Very knowledgeable and a good person. Although the class is difficult, the way she teaches set the foundation for me to graduate and now work and excel in the healthcare field. Take your education seriously and you will be in a better position moving forward.

Her instructions are unclear, she's extremely rude and condescending. If you have a question, don't even bother emailing her, she either won't get back to you or will just say the same thing time and time again as if that makes it any clearer.

She was very unorganized and unclear with directions, and was not helpful when asked for an explanation of her directions. They are a very hard grader and made this class a lot more stressful then it had to be.

She is not good at giving instructions at all. She gets mad at students for not following directions at all but she herself is not clear with the instructions. College seminar is only a credit class and she made it very tough. DONT take her if you care for your grade.

I had her for A&P2 and its content heavy and hard class. She is clear about grade & gives practical feedback. Don't be passive about your education and then blame professors when you fail. If you're struggling go to office hours, ask for help! She is understanding and helpful, but you need to put in the work. She doesn't deserve these bad reviews.

Expects you to be have some educational ability and take responsibility for yourself and your actions. Does send a lot of seemingly condescending e-mails/notifications, but is very accessible by e-mail if you have questions or a problem. Wish I could take her for BIO, schedule just doesn't work out.

SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY If you want to be successful at passing this class ABIDE by the following: Attend office hrs, study 6 hrs daily, rewrite notes/powerpoints, attend tutoring center, listen to PAST lectures, DO ALL CONNECT HW. Show the drive she will make herself accessible; the class is tough, but she is a great, personable and kind professor.

This class is difficult no matter the professor you have. Prof. Sasway is an excellent teacher and if you actively listen to her ADVICE & lectures, you will make it through with a good grade & new skills. She is lecture heavy since there is a lot of info. As for the negative comments, she very clear with her expectations & directions

Would send too many emails, calling out students for not doing their work or opening any lectures. Makes the class more stressful instead of trying to encourage students. Gives a full week which is enough time to do a discussion form, the labs, watch the lectures, and read the PowerPoints but is too persistent.

She's very rude & disrespectful, talks to her students like we're kids. Picks and chooses emails she wants to respond to. She loves to accuse people of cheating. You cannot use answers out of the textbook (even tho she recommends you read the textbook) because you will get a 0 if it is not in her words from her lectures. there's no winning with her

By far the worse professor at sccc!! Don't even waste your time taking any of her classes, if there any other professor open, take them. This lady is by far one of the top disrespectful individuals l've ever encountered ever. She and her classes are a waste of time, don't know how she still has a job. Take a professor who cares cause it's not her

As an adult learner and working professional who already has a BS, I was FLOORED at how degrading and disrespectful she is! She treats her students like middle schooler's. I had another prof for the lab part and he was WONDERFUL. Knowledgeable, respectful, challenging, helpful all of the things you need in a prof for this class. Take someone else!!

The class is manageable if you stay on top of the work, but the professor can be quite unreasonable at times. Try using Unstuck study and the free textbook to supplement the lectures - it really helps to have those extra resources.
