  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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'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.

  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.
