Comment:

GREAT TEACHER!!!!! I took his hybrid online course so we met once a week and then our homework was online. He is so awesome and helpful. I'm a high schooler who took V01 and didn't understand a thing, but Mr. Sandford made everything easier and more understandable. He is especially nice to those who work hard, though he respects all students.

Thank you, senor, for all the help you gave me in this class. You really care about your students, are always happy and willing to bend over backward for the benefit of the students. I never saw you berate anyone, including those late arrivals. Great for native speakers or those who started with Span VO1.

Professor Sandford is very clear on what he expects in his class. The amount of work he gives is understandable if you want to learn the language. A lot of group activities. I enjoyed his class a lot. I recommend taking his class.

He made going to class fun and entertaining. There are alot of group activities but they help to further learn the language while getting to know the people in the class. For every few chapters you do a packet, a quiz and a test. If you study, do the hw and go to class, you'll get an A. He's a nice unstressful guy who will learn your name.

Great teacher. I took spanish 2 with another teacher spring '09 and she was boring and not helpful and I failed. Took Sandford for the same class, and it was awesome. He knows his stuff, just the right amount of strict, and is funny to boot. Would definitely take him again.

Great guy! Teaches the class in a humorous yet professional manner and does his best to get the subject through to the student. Attend class, do the homework and STUDY. If you do, you will get an A.

Imagine Robin Williams doing stand-up as a Community College Spanish Professor. Sandford is enthusiastic and fast-paced. Pay attention, do the homework, don't be tardy, it will pay off.

I thought Spanish would be easy to learn, but it was not so easy. Prof. Sandford made a difficult, fast-paced class challenging and fun. He has an upbeat personality and good sense of humor, yet he expects a lot from his students. A very good teacher. A very good man. A+

Mr. Sanford has really taught me what dedication to a foreign language is. His teaching is very thourough and he is willing to help anyone whom is in need. He is really flexible with his assignments as long as you communicate what you need.

Does a lot of oral presentations and projects.Moves too fast for beginners.You must be pretty dedicated & very focused on school & work really hard to pass this class.Would only recommend to students who have taken a Span class before & want a challenge.
