This class was REALLY difficult. I spent 3 1/2 hours on the first exam... She seems to not care that college students have other courses based on the amount of homework and the super long exams. I had a few breakdowns because of this class. She can be rude... Wdislikever you do, don't yawn in front of her! She is one cranky woman.

She is a terrible teacher. She thinks she knows everything. I took this class last year and only passed because I made it my life. I have known lots of other people who failed this class. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. REPEAT. DO NOT!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing! Knows her things and doesn't tolerate moronic, lazy students...thank greatness. Do what is expected and you will excel. Don't look at the clock, and why should you...that would be rude when someone is talking. She is passionate about teaching and learning and will give you guidance if you seek it.

Before taking this class, I was terrified. After, all I can say is that Sarah Wiley is a intelligent and inspired prof.. She will teach you the story of Early Western Civ. in hope that you will realize it's inpact on our lives. Work difficult and be respectful, and you'll see that you might even miss this class.

She is an excellent prof., I think many of the people who complain about this course are simply not willing to do some work. She is very knowledgeable and friendly. If you plan on taking one of her courses as a blow off class do not, they require you to use your brain and apply your knowledge.

Very difficult class to pass. Listen close and take notes! Very rude and rough, among other things. This class was very knowledgeable and she knows her things, but not simple in the slighexam. Treat her with respect and she will do the same... maybe...

While Sarah Wiley is very knowledgeable on the subject of History, she lacks the ability to teach in an unbiased & non-opinionated matter. Her far left liberal views of religion, politics and taxes were just frankly annoying; not to mention her condescending manner if you disagree with her. It's difficult but I was able to receive an A.

yes she is intense,& not for the lazy or fain of heart. This class is life changing, if you listen to what she has to say you will leave truly educated on the subject matter, and have developed study skills that will make your college career easier in the long run. I know it seems silly but COPY over your notes and learn the value in doing so! <3

I think Sarah is an amazing prof.. If you are the type of student who does not like to do a lot of work, then don't even bother. Her projects help your grade in the end because you will actually be LEARNING something. Sarah's class was so fulfilling. I am so lucky I had the chance to take it.

This professsor was un-professional towards the student body. She treats the students like children and has no working understanding of what a History class is. She wants to teach History but thinks shes a writing teacher. Would not recmd to anyone and she needs to be removed as a instructor. Her image hurts the school to where she's teaching, 0%.

I dislikeD HER CLASS! Worst teacher I have ever had in my life, by far. If you don't know every answer she asks is class, she'll treat you like you're stupid. If I already knew everything, I wouldn't need to be here. DON'T TAKE HER CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's rude and in love with herself.

Wiley is an very difficult teacher. If you take her class be prepared to take lots and lots of notes. Her exams are completely over her lecture so I suggest a tape recorder. Also don't think that her exams are going to be simple, I spent 7 hours on a exam and wrote 15 pages and still got a c+ on it. :(

If you take this teacher then expect to take LOTS of notes and bring a recorder because that helps alot when it comes to "copying over your notes," a phrase you will be hearing constantly in class. Her projects are long! But in the end she's a great instructor, just listen to what she has to say.

She nags about taking notes, her exams are long and strenuous, and the homework projects are very lengthy. You learn quite a bit from this class, but don't expect to turn anything in late.

Sarah Wiley is a very strict teacher, but that is not at all why I don't like her. Her class is difficult for a reason, and it actually helps. My problem is that she is completely up her own behind. She thinks she knows everything and will actually waste the students time to gripe to them. She is rude, obnoxious, and a very bad teacher.
