Its all about the notes!! read the reading they will be on the test, but the textbook is just there to try and help u understand it better, try and photocopy them to avoid paying so much
Tests are based on notes...... so its important to be in class. Do all assignments and good on the tests and its a easy A. She gives pop quizes so you should read but if you there whne the quiz is given you are given some credit for that.
she is really easy. seriously! go to class, participate, and review the notes and you will be fine. photocopy the books because there is no use in buying them. she is nice and answers your questions. her class might seem boring at first but its worth it in the end. if you do the reading and pay attention its easy. take her.
She's the best professor I've had in my college career so far! Her lectures are very easy to understand and are very smooth flowing. All of her tests on based on the notes, the papers are based on your knowledge of important materials in the class,its a very interesting class, and she really knows her material.
She is a great and outstanind professor! She really knows her stuff, her classes are very easy to understand, the topics are fun, and the tests and assingments are based on the notes. She is a very nice person and she will answer as many questions that you have that pertain to the course.
Nice, young, attractive, down to earth...Doesn't get any better than this people..Take the class you'll learn alot
She is so boring and not clear at all!she is in love with her readings even though most of them are boring. the way she speaks is annoying, she doesn't let you out on time and she is obsessed with talking about her intro class. do the readings because she doesn't explain them well and hope you do well on the tests
Pure madness! Tons of reading every class with little understanding. she's extremely smart but can't explain. teaches like we already know the material. u will feel like a grad student. if you're only taking 1 or 2 classes, then ok; full-time students stay away. you will end up neglecting your other classes.
Shes a very nice intelligent young woman however, the class is pretty damn difficult and there is so much (difficult) readings!! Whoever is up for some hardcore readings be my guest and take this course otherwise stay awayyy!
This class is pure joy and superb! Its fun, quite interesting and a great way to get your brain to think. The readings are really great and she is very intersted in teaching this class and does a superb job of explaining things. If you want to take a great class that is taught by a greatly intelligent and a beautiful woman, go ahead and take it =)!
she is extremely knowledgeable and intelligent. The class is engaging and interesting, you are always encouraged to participate. You MUST do the readings or else you will fail. put in effort and you will get good grades, anyone that does poorly deserves to do poorly b/c youll do fine if you do the readings and study for the tests.
She is a nice person , but I think it was toooo much readings for an intro course, it is obvious that if you study you'll pass but if you give too much content, you will loose interest. If you like to read be my guess.
This class is a lot of reading. The second half of the semester is awesome! She's a good professor who explains concepts very clearly. The midterm and final are a bit challenging and you do need to know the readings in order to do well. Attendance does help, she does take that into consideration when she gives you your final overall grade Take
overall she's a good professor, she made the class extremely interesting and her tests were easy. she's also very approachable and encourages you to participate but she gave a lot of readings, most of which were very dry.
No Comments
LOVING this class and the professor, but it WILL take work on student's parts! If you put the effort into it, you WILL get a good grade. I really like Professor Hanks and her style of teaching. She's downright COOL!
Definitely take her for her intro! Young and pretty with a great personality. A lot of reading (textbook plus 1 or 2 readings from course reserves). Knows her information very well. Doesn't mind going over topics. 5 homeworks given the whole term. Midterm and final are multiple choice, true/false and matching.
I had her for soc 218. Did pretty bad on the midterm, turned in every homework assignment (which there were about 12 of) and received a B+ somehow. Final is way easier then the midterm, she is very interesting and easy on the eyes. She is young and "in". Tends to ramble occasionally and veer off topic but very familiar with her subject. Take her.
You must take Sarah if you want to take sociology classes! She is a very brilliant woman, her classes are lot of fun and she is a very understanding and cool person! Just do the readings, pay attention in class, do the H.W. and you'll get a good grade. Plus she is a very beautiful woman and she is easy on the eyes!
She's a good prof. The only annoying thing is that she gives quizzes on the readings we had for homeowkr, but other than that shes fine. pretty cool teacher.
Well I never studied and got an A+...just come to class, listen, take notes, and read them over once before the exam. The exams are for the most part multiple choice and extremely easy. She's def not a bad prof...I'd take her again.
Professor Hanks is brilliant, hip and beautiful. Originally from Louisiana, she now is a rad New Yorker. Very knowledgeable about the media industry. Showed great documentaries and youtube videos. Loved this course! Great readings, which people really should read. Grading: Journals, Midterm and Final. Not hard at all. Will miss her.
Do the readings,pay attention in class, take good notes and you'll do well. Gives pop quizzes on the readings but if you skim at home they're easy and she drops one. Final and midterm straightforward, focus on class notes/online articles more than textbook. Short 1-2 page paper every few weeks. Cool prof,really nice, young, laid back. I recommend.
She's the best sociology professor ever! Reject all negative comments. Very sweet, easy on the eyes, caring, helpful. There are 5 hws (about 1-2 pgs each), midterm & final (based off notes + articles), a few pop quizzes, but she drops a few. Take good notes, pay attention and you will do fine! Got an A. LOVE HER! :) TAKE HER CLASS!!!
Great professor...not difficult at all...she says it herself. She just wants to get you to see life in a different way. Amazing woman, and oh so beautiful (it might distract you,haha). Take her class, you'll enjoy it.
Good Professor! Did not do great on tests but did the journals that were due like once every 2 weeks. Shes really cool and passive. Must warn though YOU NEED TO WRITE DOWN EVERY WORD SHE SAYS & read the articles that she assigns each class is what the test is based on. Dont save the articles for last minute some are extremely long. I got an A:)
What a fantastic professor. She's so down to Earth, and her lectures are pretty interesting. This was my 2nd time taking her, and I highly recommend her class to everyone. A few sets of journals, midterm, and final, and she can bump up your grade if you come everyday. Got an A! Take her! :)
The best professor on the face of the earth! Makes you want to learn! She is brilliant and gorgeous and encouraging. Take both of her classes immediately.
straightforward, just study notes and skim articles- shell hilite whats imp from them in class. a few hw's/essays (simple) MC midterm and final, overall super easy material- a lot is just common sense. cant go wrong with her, highly recommend
She generally arrived about 5 minutes late every class and would ramble a bit for another minute or two. Other then that she was a great professor. Very clear and helpful, no surprises. The final was easier than the midterm and she made her classes pretty interesting. Just show up and do the homeworks/reading and you will pass. Easy B+/A. Very hot.
She's very laid back and pleasant. The exams are based off what she says in class only, the readings are pretty unnecessary, unless of course you want to learn as much as you can on the subject. Show up for class and take good notes and you'll ace the exams. In class quizzes are based on the readings but they don't have much impact on your grade.
SOOOOOO EASY its almost a joke. do not buy the text book its expensive and i didnt use it once and got an A. one annotated bibliography and a midterm and final. very easy, take notes and study and you'll do well without a doubt! very very very very easy!!!! recommended
She really is a nice teacher cares about student and wants everyone to pass her class. Multiple choice midterm 100 questions 1 point each same as final. Need study notes to do good on midterm. In class assignment, research paper only a page long, attendance is important for this class. Learned some interesting ideas.
She is a great professor and I had a great experiance with her my first semester in Queens. She takes attendance. easy project, fair grader- has midterm and final. no need for textbook everything is based off of the class so I recommend taking notes, if you get someones notes with the major terms you really can do well! very much recommended!
Great professor, really easy A, gives curves on the tests, fair with grading assignments
Her class is waste. Take good notes to pass exams and be there for the class assignments. Readings are pointless because the test are based off of class lessons but they could be used if you missed something from class. She's a little weird but she's nice and fair.
Hanks is a sweetheart. Her lectures can often seem a little boring, but if you're interested in the subject then you'll have a blast. She's straight forward and easy. 1 annotated bibliography (super easy), Midterm and Final (It's all based on class notes, nothing from the readings),in class assignments (do it and you'll get the credit.
This class is a good intro class and was very interesting. She only gives a midterm, 1 annotated bibliography assignment and then a final exam at the end. There are readings every night which are interesting, but she goes over the main points of the articles the next day so they aren't necessary to get those questions right on her tests.
The way the material was presented was not at all interesting, she just basically read it off to the class. Her midterm and final is all multiple choice and like 100 questions. Yeah, I'm glad this class is over and done with.
She is an excellent professor!!
Easy class. Don't be absent, because she doesnt teach from PowerPoints; her lectures are not posted on blackboard. Take good notes, come to class, study, take part in in-class group assignments and youll do well:) she is passionate about sociology. Funny and blunt, won't bea She'll even throw some curse words out there better be comfortable with
Good professor, one short research paper, a midtermfinal (both multiple choice and true false), and a few easy in class assignments. Class is very interesting and up to date pop culture wise.
She only gives like 3 assignments. Pretty straight forward, and are pretty easy
I took a sociology class in high school and it was so interesting. THIS CLASS WAS SO BORING! It was so hard to pay attention. I somehow managed an A- but if you have no interest in sociology she doesn't make it very interesting. The assignment was easy. Only 2 tests; Midterm and Final. Both hard, you have to pay attention and study hard!
Great teacher!
prof hanks is very kind and laid-back. pretty easy class if you show up and take good notes during lectures. one midterm, one final, and one annotated bibliography assignment (really simple). exams are based off of lectures, so make sure to pay attention. textbook is not required.
She is hilarious. First of all, you don't need a book for the class, just take really good lecture notes. She's helpful but I wouldn't recommend missing her class because she doesn't post up her notes. I love how she connected some topics back to mainstream things today. Test are easy if you study your notes. Readings aren't crucial for tests.
Very easy class. She doesn't teach from Power Points so the lectures are not on blackboard. As long as you take good notes, aren't absent, you study, and take part in group assignments you'll do well. She is funny, blunt, and very passionate about sociology!!
I took Sociology 101 with Professor Hanks. Class can be a bit boring... There is no textbook and her notes are not posted on BlackBoard. If you want to do well, you MUST come to class and take good notes. If you take good notes and study for the exams, you'll get an A.
She is a great professor! Take notes and you will get an A!!
Good professor. Show up to class and you'll be good for the test.
Easiest A, prof. is hilarious. If you come to class you'll easily ace this class. Her notes aren't accessible so coming to class is a must. Take notes (don't need to be heavy) and you'll get 100s on her exams. Only 3 exams. Would deff take this course again.
Easiest A, prof. is hilarious. Take notes (doesn't need to be heavy) and you'll get 100s on her exams. Exams are super straightforward. Only 3 of them. need to come to class or u won't do too well. Lectures are lively. Would deff take this course again.
Class required way too much effort for the grade I've received. Her teaching style is pure lecturing- no Powerpoints. You're all on your own and got to take quality notes (you need a computer she talks fast) every class because what she says will be on the exam. Could have put that same effort in another professor and landed myself an A, guess not.
Most of your grade is based on exams. Make sure to take a lot of notes.
Great Professor and was very straightforward class!
I loved her class. I knew nothing about sociology before this and fell in love with it. Tests are the only source of your grade but they are not difficult as long as you take good notes. She does talk fast sometimes so a laptop helps. Readings are fun and she always go over the ones that will be on the test.
TAKE THIS COURSE! She is such a funny, relaxed professor. She really cares about her students actually understanding her lectures, she would even answer questions way after class ended to ensure that we really retained the material. Her exams are straight from the lectures and this course is VERY easy if you study for exams and show up to class.
I have never had a professor who was so passionate and so clear about what she was teaching. The course is very dependent on lecture and she doesn't put notes online so you have to go to class. She types important notes on the projector as she speaks so it's easy to take notes. The material isn't hard and she does a review before every exam.
It is a pretty straight forward intro class. You have to do group work that will be assigned on random days and she does not give study guides, so be sure to go to class. You do not have to read assigned texts but you should because she will know based on participation and will threaten to give weekly quizzes. Tests are easy just study the notes.
Great professor! I would take her class again if I could. Her lectures are engaging, interesting, and fun to listen to. If you listen, you will get an A in this class with minimal studying. She explains everything very clearly and she's very funny. She is very accommodating about makeups if you have an issue. She's very nice if you need help.
She might be ok in a different course but NOT for intro! A 101 course can make you or break you.
Prof. hanks's 101 course was great. Make sure to take detailed notes in class. Exams are solely based on in class notes she types on Microsoft Word which she does not upload to BB. Attendance is not mandatory but she gives announced/sometimes random group assignments that count towards your final grade. She also gives a review a week before exam.
I love Professor Hanks so much!! She's so incredibly funny and makes her lectures fun and interesting. I would take her class again if I could! She is very clear about grading criteria and what she expects from students. Show up, listen, take class notes (she writes notes on microsoft word) and you will pass for sure! She is also incredibly nice!
Professor Hanks is a true gem, I love her! I have to admit I never wanted to take sociology, it was the class I was least looking forward to, and now it is the class I look forward to the most. Her lectures are amazing and engaging. She is very nice and cool. Show up on time, take good notes, listen to her lectures and you will get an A.
Sarah is the best of the best. You're missing out if you do not take her. She is extremely funny, caring and just an overall sweetheart. She really cares for her students and is always available to answer questions. Gives 6 random in-class assignments and 3 exams. She also gives an extra credit project which really boosts your grade. Love her a lot
Bro Sarah is the BEST! She is hilarious and make the lectures engaging and fun. She is super sweet, caring and very approachable. She is always there to help you and answer any questions that you have. Just go to class, take notes, and be there for the 6 in class assignments that she assigns. I would definitely take her again. Fave professor ever!
Sarah is just the best. Sociology is kind of a boring subject but she makes it really fun. I wish the class was much longer and would without a doubt take her again. She gives 3 tests, and 6 in-class assignments (one assignment is dropped). Sarah is very understanding and compassionate. I love her! Take her if you have the chance!
Sarah is phenomenal. She's so pure and remarkable. A true gen at Queens college. You'll regret it if you don't take her because she's really amazing. I don't rate teachers often so this rate says something. Shes a very sweet woman when you talk to her personally and is always there for you. More professors need to be like sarah i love her sm!
Sarah Hanks is the best professor I've had thus far. She is so warm, welcoming and kind. She truly is one of a kind.

Yo Sarah is one of the most legendary professors at Queens College! I love her and I miss her class so much! She was so incredibly sweet and was very funny. She made the class interesting and always made me laugh. She is truly an amazing professor who barely gave any work. I wish she taught more classes because I would love to take her again!
I need to know who has the audactiy to hate this woman. She's literally the best professor I've had at Queens College and she deserves much more appreciation than she gets! Sarah is absolutely amazing and helped me through a rough time this semester. I love her and would take her again if I could! She is truly one of a kind! My favorite professor!
Dude she is AMAZING!! No amount of words can express how much I loved her and her class. I wish I could take her again. She is the sweetest professor I have had so far and she is definitely my favorite professor! She may look mean but she is actually really kind and cares for everyone. Come to class, pay attention, and do the in class assignments.
Easy A! Must Take! Fun and interesting class with videos. Take notes, study for the exam-super easy to do well. 6 in class assignments and she drops one- also super easy and done in groups. All 3 tests are MC and T/F super simple and straightforward. Sign in sheet passed around daily. Important readings are discussed in class, never read any
Professor Hanks is honestly someone who I look up to. She is absolutely amazing inside and out. She is really caring and makes her lectures fun. She is hilarious and always made me laugh at each class! She's the most wonderful person and I would def take her again! Take her if you can because shes just the best! No one can teach better than her.
Attendance matters because she gives group projects out of nowhere. You don't have to read the text books, just pay attention to her in class and study key terms before the exams. She gives one opportunity to redeem yourself; a. 22 page paper for extra credit. Really helps and she wants people to work for their grade.
SARAH HANKS IS THE BEST PROFESSOR EVER, I LOVE HER SO MUCH! Her class is honestly so easy to pass. She is an amazing human being. She is hilarious, kind, and caring.

Sociology is kind of a boring subject, but this professor made the class so interesting! She's hilarious and made me laugh during each class. I wish I could take her again. She's the best in Queens College!
Course was 3 exams and 6 in class assignments, if you pay attention you will pass no problem. She's really funny, would definitely take her again.
Took this professor last semester and she's totally awesome!! Take her for sociology, she's hilarious and will make your time worth while. Always made me laugh in class!
Professor Hanks is such an amazing professor! She's so knowleagable and her lectures are very intriguing. Does occasional group activities to see whose coming to class. Grade is almost entirely based upon three multiple choice tests. Assigns readings from an online textbook and articles that she provides on Blackboard. Overall would take again!
Professor Hanks is the best professor ever, I love her so much!!
I am taking this professor this semester, and she's really awesome and super chill! Also, she outs the textbook online but you dont even need it! Fantastic class and professor
Hardly went, but attendance wasn't mandatory; she's pretty chill, and teaches well. 3 exams in total, she gives classwork randomly to see who goes but other than that she's not bad. pay attention to little details for exams and study for a good grade and you'll pass.
In all of my college years, I have to say professor Hanks lectures have been my favorite. She's super funny and makes class fun. Every single lecture she gave were interesting for me. She made me love sociology.
Professor Hanks is absolutely hilarious! She is one of my favorite college professors ever! I'd definitely take her again if i could. I really looked forward to each of her classes.
She's the greatest. The best professor in QC. I would def take her again!
Professor Hanks is super awesome! Easy class with a humorous professor. Loved her and would def take her again!
She gives random in class group assignments which are super easy and require literally no skill, but they do count towards your grade so don't miss class. Lectures are entertaining and clear, listen and take standard notes and you'll get an A.
GREAT lectures. Super interesting. The readings are kind of long, but the textbook is free and it's a good source to study from. Exams are straight-forward. One thing to be aware of is unannounced in-class assignments that count towards your grade.
Horrible professor, a lot of these reviews are from topnotch test takers who aced the class. I am a horrible test taker who found the exams too tricky despite listening to all the lectures and doing the dense readings. This professor will suddenly stop the class in the beginning or middle of lecture and leave whenever they feel like doing so.
Would def take prof Hanks again! she made the class fun and made us laugh. Although, she does not post her powerpoint slides on blackboard so be aware of that. Other than that her grading policy is ver straightforward. She's a great professor and i learned a lot.
Hanks is one of the most overrated prof at QC. In order to do well in this class you must do well on the tests. Also attendance isn't mandatory but if u don't show up you will lose 25% of your grade because of the in class assignments. If your ready to study then its an okay class. If your looking for an easy A this isn't a good choice for you!
easiest class - i went to class every day but you done need to . she doesn't post the notes online, but if you have the notes, you will do well. I went through the notes a couple of times before the exams and got an 100 on all. best prof if you want an easy A!
Professor Hanks is amazing! Very funny and makes the lectures engaging. Up until we had in person classes, I loved going to each class. Her tests are easy and she gives a review before each exam. She is very nice and is always willing to answer any questions or address any concerns. Would def recommend her and take her again!
She was awesome. Very nice and understanding. I would def recommend her for intro to sociology
I just watched her lectures and copy the notes on the slides. Literally everything is based on her lectures so shes quite easy. Only downside is she goes off what you get online but she assigns a fair amount of assignments so if one grade is bad dont get feel down, just make sure to watch the lectures and take notes and youll be set.
3 tests all based on her slides and what she says, 10 short (5 question) quizzes, and 10 discussion prompt. Attend or watch the lectures take notes and you will pass with flying colors, all the answers are right in her slides, sufficient time. Very caring and understanding. Also funny. She makes class really interesting. TAKE HER!!!
Professor Hanks is an amazing professor! So nice, caring, and funny. I definitely recommend her for sociology 101. As long as you do the work posted and pass her exams (which are straight from lecture), you will pass the class.
Well organized and knowledgable professor. Grade is composed of discussion posts, tests, and quizzes. She is very helpful and this is a fairly easy class.
Professor Hanks is amazing! It's an easy class to pass as long as you do what is expected. She's very nice and understanding. A must take!
very personable and knowledgeable on the course
I love Professor Hanks, she's the best prof at QC! Very funny and caring - makes listening to lectures fun. I enjoyed her class and wished she would teach more courses at QC. Take her, you won't regret it!
Exams are entirely based on notes from the lectures, which are jam packed with information. This is synchronous with an asynchronous option if you cannot make it to the session, and discussion board assignments are easy to receive credit for. Topics are insightful, and she is easy to reach outside of class.
She is very knowledgeable about her field and tries to make sure that students are understanding the material. The three tests are staight from her lestures, so make sure to study those. The discussion boards are very easy and often are opinion responses.
Professor Hanks is a kind, warm, and funny teacher. She knows a lot about her field and is passionate about it. She always cracks funny jokes throughout the lecture to keep you engaged. Her exams are straightforward from the notes. She also has weekly discussion posts and quizzes that are easy. Must take easy A!!!
Prof Hanks is such a funny and down to earth professor! She does a great job at explaining her lessons and tests are based on things directly from the lectures. Weekly quizzes and discussion boards based on what was discussed in class so it's overall pretty easy. Would definitely take her again!
Professor Hanks is phenomenal! She's very kind and caring. Her class is a very easy A and the tests are based solely on the lectures. I would definitely take her again!
Professor Hanks is the best! She's very easy going and her class is impossible to pass (granted you don't do anything and don't watch the lectures). She's always willing to help and is very caring. Take her if you can! She's an easy A for SOC 101!
This class was so easy and the little quizzes and blog posts were very manageable. Her 3 tests were right from her lectures and she tries to make them easy. Her class topics were very wrong and rude but she is an easy teacher.
Take her, she is *chefs kiss*. Very sweet professor and topics are very interesting. Exams are long but it's all from the lectures. We had discussion boards every once in a while. Simple class.
She was pretty alright. No outright complaints and seems like your usual professor
Very interesting class, it really opened my eyes to a lot of topics on the way we live and how society works. Shes very personable and I appreciated that. Just take notes on the lectures and youll ace all her exams.
She is a gem! Grading is clear and fair. Her quizzes and tests are from the lectures. Plus, she gives a key term sheet before each exam. Work is graded quite quickly. If you are on top of your work and watch/attend lectures, you shouldn't have a hard time to get an A. More professors should be like her!
Professor Hanks was the best!
A serious teacher who didn't take shiz, but I loved her class, she taught what you needed for exams, explained thoroughly; I really respected her and would love to take a class from her again
Professor Hanks is passionate when it comes to teaching sociology. It was easy to learn and pass her class because of the easy to understand slides and quizzes. I'd recommend!
She is great professor. Assignments includes weekly discussions and quizzes, and there are 3 tests. All of his assignments are related to power points and quizzes.
One of the few classes I had left that I took with a great friend, she made the final touches of my last year at QC great. Her class was an elective for me, but it was easy. Do the assignments to par, and you get a good grade, same for exams. Loved the course, and loved how I spent the last few months as an undergrad in this class with my friend.
I loved her lectures; they were so interesting. We met up once a week for an hour, but she gave one asynch lec a week (never more than an hour). 10 quizzes, 5 discussion posts, & 3 exams--all of which were easy. She truly is a great professor, and I really enjoyed her classes. I recommend her to everyone.
Class was easy. If you want an easy A take this class. However, I have no respect for Sarah Hanks. U will realize how brainwashed she is when it comes to politics. She is literally a SHEEP. I cringed a lot during this class. I would still take this class again for the A. But as a professor she is horrendous.
Take this professor! She is so caring and gives you more than enough time to get each assignment in. The course is set up very clear and organized. I would definitely take her again!
3 multiple choice exams, "group assignments" that are basically attendance grades. Honestly a really easy class, and her lectures are pretty good too. She's a great pick if you're trying to get a gen ed out of the way!
Best professor! so nice and such engaging classes! have this class early AM and still look forward to it every time :)
Very personable professor. 3 exams and a few simple (usually unannounced) in-class group assignments. Clear and easy-to-follow lectures. Hates when students are conversing during her lectures, so stay quiet and take notes.
I found the class boring to listen to her lectures. There are in-class assignments sometimes so attendance matters. Her tests didn't exactly match what she teaches.
Amazing professor. 3 exams- and a few "in class assignments" for participation credit. Exams were straight from her review sheets and were very forward. Study that and you'll be good for an easy A. Class is actually interesting, and you actually will learn. Not a challenging class-Sarah Hanks is informative and fun.
I like professor Sarah and she is so amazing professors I ever had and I recommend to yall have her!
She is one best professor and I alway will! But I love her a lot and I am one her fav student out of 50 ppl in her class! I recommend to y'all! I will taking her again!
I love professor Sarah and I recommend to yall have her and she is amazing and her lecture and video she show is not too bad! I would taking her again!
just 3 MC exams and in class assignments that you just get credit for if you were there, only downside is she doesn't post her slides which is annoying bc I like taking notes directly on those or following along. aside that, great prof
Professor Hanks is engaging and makes the material interesting. Exams are straightforward if you study the review sheets. Attendance is mandatory, but the in-class assignments are easy. Unstuckstudy was a lifesaver for preparing for the exams.
Best teacher this semester. Really cares about students and willing to help when needed. 6 in class assignments. Lectures not posted. If you pay attention in class and understand the material, the tests are pretty simple and straightforward.
So funny and sweet truly a memorable class to take. She is strong on her beliefs and has amazing lectures that don't stray from the topic. Her lectures aren't posted online, and neither are the slides, so you must attend class to pass. Only 3 exams, and there easy if you pay attention in class. She's an amazing professor, take her please!
So chill, her tests are easy and her lectures are acc interesting. She does do in person assignments so you cant just not go to her class everyday. Overall though shes amazing
She was awesome!
Professor Hanks lectures are slides based but she does not share them but she goes fairly slow and explains everything clearly and answers any questions and will go back to slides. She does use profanity if you are not comfortable with that. A bunch of in-class group assignments but never hard. Tests are not tricky just need to know the info.
Not sure why everyone goes crazy over her but class is an easy A. pretty mid prof and she's very liberal so kinda annoying to listen to. She doesn't post slides so you have to come and take notes, and there are unannounced group assignments. Tests are easy tho
Doesn't give PowerPoint slides so you have to copy notes, says that her tests consist of key words that were in lecture but doesn't tell you what is considered “key words”. She gives group in class assignments that are easy but doesn't tell you when she is going to give them so make sure to attend lecture
I love professor Sarah hanks! She is best! I recommend to yall I am taking her fourth time this semester in year 2
To y'all don/t recommend her at all and if u take her. Pls don/t taking her she so difficult and not good professor either I need this class for a major.
Professor Hanks is so nice and understanding. She doesn't mind going over and reviewing old topics so you can understand it better. She listens to you, like really listens. She is a fair grader - for example, when the whole class got a specific question wrong on the exam, she just automatically gave everyone an extra 2 points.
Sarah Hanks was an incredible professor. She explained the concepts very well and had experience and stories about some of the things she taught about. would take again 👍
Great Professor! Interesting lectures. Workload is appropriate. Would take any of her future classes. Wow.
I love her a lot and I recommend to all freshman taking her and she is amazing & nice too! No hw too!
Professor Hanks is awesome! She is very chill and her tests are easy. Everything is in her lectures, including the information you need to know from the readings. I didn't do the reading, and I still passed with flying colors. She's very down to Earth and patient, so long as you respect her. Overall. 12/10, would take again!
She is so incredibly liberal that it is unbearable to sit in her class sometimes, but her class was easy.
I am so excited to taking her this semester and she transferred school to go teach somewhere and I hope to taking few classes when I transfer back to qc in future! She is so sweet and amazing too!
