Hulsey is very fantastic. The subject itself is a little hard, but she makes a big effort to make it tackle-able. Going to her office hours is a good idea. She's brilliant and approachable, great sense of humor. Not that it's related, but she's really beautiful. She's like a perfect person.LING1145 2011-04-30 07:37:58 +0000 UTC
One of my favorite professors at NU! She takes complex topics from the book and explains them perfectly in class. Fair grader and her assignments are relevant and straight forward. Take linguistics with her she's amazing!LING1150 2011-04-13 13:39:49 +0000 UTC
Such a wonderful professor. Linguistics is fascinating and she's awesome at teaching it. Definitely not an easy intro class, but still totally worth it. Professor Hulsey is always willing to help you and never, ever makes you feel stupid, even if it's an obvious answer. Totally recommend her! I hope she's teaches for a long time!LING101 2010-12-13 14:29:58 +0000 UTC
The class was tough and not my cup of tea, but Sarah was always very willing to help and enthusiastic in office hours. She goes out of her way to help you learn and improve. She is also super hot.ENGU150 2009-12-04 00:04:39 +0000 UTC
Awesome teacher. I learned a lot about linguistics and it actually got me more interested in this area of study. I would love to take another class with her. Plus, she reminds me of Zooey Deschanel which is pretty great.LIN150 2009-11-10 12:14:21 +0000 UTC
Sarah is a great teacher. She knows what she is talking about and allows for class comments and discussion. I really enjoyed her lectures. Just show up to class and participate and you should get a pretty good grade :)LINU150 2008-12-17 21:45:47 +0000 UTC
She's a really chill lady and definitely puts in the effort to help you know the material. Linguistics is an acquired taste, its a little more interesting for some then others. Oh and she's definitely a cutie.LIN160 2008-12-15 13:12:31 +0000 UTC

Sarah is a fantastic teacher. She is a very kind down-to-Earth teacher that is easy to understand and talk to. The textbook assignments make up a big percentage of your grade and they really help prepare you for the tests so just doing good on those can get you that A grade. The class itself is enjoyable.LING1150 2011-01-05 11:39:13 +0000 UTC
She is an extremely helpful and friendly professor. Her class is on the challenging side but Prof. Hulsey makes things very clear. I would recommend taking a class with her, as I am I looking to take another class from her.LIN150 2008-11-16 18:26:26 +0000 UTC

If you are taking any kind of linguistic class, definitely get her as a teacher. She is extremely helpful and a pretty easy grader. She likes to get to know each of her students and she doesn't take attendance. She is amazing!! Best teacher I've had at Northeastern!LING1150 2010-12-12 22:16:34 +0000 UTC
