Comment:

This professor is quite an interesting one. His personality is unique and funny and his lectures are fun and you can be found often sleepless for most of the time. Participating and being vocal in the class is a must to make a good impression of yourself, to him, as it is important to get on his good side. Overall not much work, easy, and fun.

I never did well in english classes despite my best efforts. Papers that I thought were great earned C's and B's. My friends in that class told me my papers seemed like A's but not to Dr. S

Comment:

He is by far one of my favorite professors. He keeps the entire class engaged throughout the lecture and has us actually interested in the work. More professors should teach like him. Not much work for the class but if you don't do the assigned readings it will upset him and he may not be as lenient on you in the future. Overall GREAT CLASS

Comment:

Honestly a great guy just lets his mood get in the way of being reasonable. What he thinks of you matters a lot and he uses his feed back in his office hours to separate the class between those he likes and those he does not. He teaches well and gives good lectures but can be closed minded probably due to having taught the same stuff for so long.

He is an outstanding professor. I learned a lot in his class and read new books. I had to re read books from high school and I understood even more reading it a 2nd time. He is always in his office if u need assistance with a paper. He always passes out a paper with clear cut criteria for what he wants on ur essays. HAVE A WONDERFUL RETIREMENT DR.S

I took Dick's class 25 years ago. He excelled at challenging the way you think, forcing you to deviate from the norm. The "norm" being the stuff spoon fed to us by every other learning institution, our only requirement being to regurgitate it up on cue. Thank you for your boundless energy and challenging, if not confrontational, style.

He is very interesting. I had his 815am class and I was excited to get up and go there. He makes everyone engage in the discussion. Attendance is a big deal, you can only have 2 unexcused abs. any more and you fail. It is his last semester (Spring 2012)and he told us he will take it light so I recommend him. It was a very fun class to say the least

Dr.S is a great teacher. He will help you with anything you need. He has a great sense of humor. Everyday in his class is a discussion for the most part. His grading standards are a little harsh on essays but thats about it. This is his last year of teaching though.

Comment:

Professor Sanzenbacher is an enthusiastic person, very happy and unique. His teaching is quite abstract though and hard to grasp ideas of. I have to say though he is very helpful if you visit him during his office hours for help in writing your paper. He takes attendence and participation (more then 6 you fail). Fairly decent teacher.

Great teacher to have for an early class if you want to actually listen. If you want to sleep, forget it. He keeps things very interesting. Everyday is a surprise. I had four big assignments that were not very hard, he prepares you VERY well. Just pay attention to when things are due.

Comment:

Great teacher. He is very helpful and he is always smiling even when something very annoying happens. However, the only one thing that wasn't very great about him is that he gave ZERO easiness to international student. He treated all international student as if they learned the poetry and the literature before. Other than that he is a greatteacher

Comment:

Dr. S is one hot teacher at his age. He takes effort in creating handouts for students, helping us to grasp the subject better. Knowing that Rome isn't built in a single day, Dr. S understands the struggles students face in writing a documented paper. His instructions may not be clear at times which is quite frustrating.

Make sure to take all of his snide comments with a grain of salt. He is truly an amazingly witty guy, and you don't want to get on his bad side. make sure you see him during his office hours, and he'll basically pre-grade your paper beforehand.

Great professor, took two of his classes and enjoyed both of them. His teaching style is great and keeps you engaged. If you follow his guidelines and seek help when needed, it will make it that much easier for you.

This guy is awesome. Totally insane and should be put away, but awesome. He has a passion for what he does and likes his classes "rough"! If your looking for an "out" from all the tech at Riddle go see Dr. S!
