Comment:

His tests are easy which might be because it's his first semester teaching this class, but does a good job and isn't afraid to admit mistakes or when he gets distracted. Very understanding of student needs. Humors the class. Very honest and open. MUST come to class or have a reason; pretty relaxed when it comes to excuses like traffic. Chill guy

Comment:

Teaching style is a bit dry, but the material itself is interesting if you put in the effort and participate; he does have a sense of humor. Gives a lot of vocab and only chooses a few to be on the exams, but they're easy definitions. Fairly easy grader, get 20% just for showing up to class. Really cares about his students and wants to help them.

Comment:

He is lecture heavy in a good way. His lectures are not too boring because he's a pretty funny guy and has a ton of real life examples to back up what he is saying. He encourages class participation. His exams are written responses, he picks a few vocabulary words from the exam chapters and has you define them and give one real life example.

Comment:

The other raters need to relax, this was such a chill class. All you have to do is show up, pump out 3 short papers (like 2 pages) on leadership, and some easy 3 question HWs! Yeah it's a lot of terms for the final, but it's short and to the point. He's so sweet and literally a dad, take him and you'll be fine.

I am sure he means well, and he might be a decent person but he is boring as all hell. He is not engaging, and his online class was not set up to interact with each other. It was 7 week class and I do not feel as though I have learned anything other how to deal with a bad manager.

He's pretty awesome. He invites class discussion and made what could have been a terrible class an interactive one. My only complaint is he writes everything on the board rather than preparing a power point in advance.

Comment:

Professor Sanford is fantastic! What a guy, very interesting indeed. Relates very well to his students and if you put in an effort you will be rewarded you can tell he cares, he even has two kids who attend Towson so you know he understands the college grind. Very fine professor indeed!

Sanford is nice and means well, but good god he is boring. His teaching style is so un-professor like, obsesses about citing, likes introducing irrelevant stories. I can tell he doesn't plan his assignments. very odd guy. I would stay away.

very nice guy who doesnt tolerate bs from lazy students, He is caring and smart and you are guaranteed to get a B if you go to class, participate, read the books, and write lots of fluff on your definition and essay question only exams. Took him for two different classes and felt like it was a good experience.

Worst professor i've had in a long time. His teaching is ok during class but when it comes to assignments and exams...his grading is horrible and he expect u to learn 90terms for the midterm and 134 for finals. DO NOT TAKE HIM its impossible to get a good grade with him.

Comment:

Not that bad of a class, attendance is important and you learn from being there. One project which was BS and he grades harshly for such a waste of time project. Mid term and final which are not too bad and he grades decent on them. As is previously stated he is a liberal which can be annoying.

Comment:

People who complain about Sanford's class must not go to class. If you're paying attention in class and adding input to class discusions than you will be fine on the exams. I mean.. 20% of the class is attendence.. Great teacher but obviously a liberal..

From off the bat, I failed this course. everything is out of 100 points so if you mess up it can count against you. I passed the course with a B but received a F overall for attendance issues. Go to Class, the course is easy, the professor is a **** and is never clear but just ignore him. ****.
