Comment:

I withdrew her in person class at the end of 2019. It was my first semester at CSUN and she scared me. She gave a lot of reading to do and I felt as though she didn't give her students enough time to do essays. She was mean and sassy, even when students asked for help. Find a better professor who supports you and don't stress yourself out.

An amazing professor gives lots of reading assignments but she reviews them with you and makes sure that you understand. Very good with grading. The assignments arent difficult but you do need to read up.

AMAZING! She is funny and makes you feel like family. Teaches you so much, you can really talk to her and her class overall is really good. Homework is a lot of reading but she makes sure it's interesting. You have to write a weekly report and for the final, you'll be able to take a cheat sheet, use it right it's an easyA. Midterm is a presentation

Comment:

She swears she can relate to her students; talks about how this pandemic is hard on all of us yet she proceeds to give us long hard essays every week, and on the week of tests she gives study guides along with the test along with the reading and essays we have to do. She cusses at her students when they ask a simple question too. She's just so rude

I have taken other classes that were harder than this and required more work yet I did better in those than this class. There is SO much reading, 1+ hour videos in order to answer her "discussion questions" which just ends up being like a 3 page essay. Don't even think about emailing her because she won't help or will be very rude.

Comment:

Prepare yourself for a lot of work. You will have weekly readings, videos and lectures you will need to look over along with weekly discussion posts. In other words a weekly short essay on everything you covered that week. It is a super educational and informative class but its NOT AN EASY CLASS what so ever. Get ready to LEARN and GRIND a lot.

Weekly readings that are around 30-40 pages. Sometimes hour long documentaries must be watched to answer her weekly essay discussion. Most life draining thing of all.

Prof. Sandoval, grades fair & is interactive. One of the best classes I have taken. Very informative & interesting course. Write a lot but not difficult. Lots to read but its interesting material so you enjoy it. Weekly assignments but with plenty of time to do them in. Tests are pretty standard and have a bit of difficulty but very informative

Comment:

You have to buy a 50$ book outside of campus which you have to read every week and an essay based on the readings is due at the end of every week. You lose credit if you don't show up and she highly encourages class participation. There is a 7 minute presentation that you have to do towards the end and the final is going to be A LOT of writing.

Comment:

She gives a lot of readings weekly along with writing assignments. What I really disliked was the way she does her quizzes. Theyre confusing and thats what messed up my grade the most. The quizzes had options like a. b. c. and d. would be all of the above option e. would be a. and b. and the last option would be b. and c. Irritating

Comment:

This class is not the most difficult class I have taken, however if you want to do well you are going to have to work for it. Every week there is heavy reading, the last week reading was almost 100 pages. The assignments can sometimes be unclear, she is also very rude. The tests aren't too bad, but to prepare for the study guide takes hours.

Comment:

Almost impossible to get any other work done, get ready to write essays every week to her liking. GRADES HEAVY. Missing one line to be two pages? You get a Zero :). Tries to be helpful, doesn't provide too much help. Lectures are super boring and excessive. All the homework is just useless busy work. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. Good Luck!

Comment:

This professor is awful. She is so rude and incredibly disrespectful to her students. When you ask her a question, she responds by being sosassy so rude and makes you feel dumb. She is not nice to those that approach her for help, as a professor she makes students feel like college is not for them. I took her online class and it was HARD HARD!!!

Comment:

She has a strong attitude. Im taking her class online and you can tell by the syllabus she posted. She is very demanding and seems very prideful. Reading the syllabus and how she uses words give me anxiety. Don't take her if you want your GPA to go up. she is rude rude rude.

As the other reviews say, lots of reading and writing. One of the most difficult and assignment heavy classes I've taken so far and it's a 100 level class! Weekly essays and long readings. Interesting lectures though, she knows her stuff. Talks with an attitude and am surprised by how many people defended this -not professional behavior.
