Comment:

Sandy is one of the best professors I've had so far and is incredibly helpful. She has years of experience and great connections. ENGL 280 is a 7 week course so classes are 2 hours long but you most likely won't end up being there the whole class time.

Sandy is a sweetheart and an excellent writer. She will help you grow and flourish in her class. She's available outside of class if you need help and she can always direct you to more resources.

Very helpful teacher. She is laid back, funny and easy to talk to. Her class was on the other side of campus-but well worth the walk. Take her if you want to learn and have fun.

I took many classes with this prof. She is incredibly accommodating and does what she can to help you succeed. You get what you put in; and if you put in enough, your return from her will be great.

Comment:

The first half of the class is group work, if your group doesn't do the work you will be responsible for their half or a bad grade. The second half of class is doing the same project only by yourself. You can get As on both the midterm and the final, turn everything in ontime and hardly get a passing grade - defintely overrated.

Comment:

Walking all the way across campus to the Prakken Bldg sucks (especially in winter), but Sandy makes it worth it. She doesn't penalize at all for tardies, and not too heavily for skipping. She is a Dr., but very cool and mingles well with students. Wears Tommy skirts/tight shirts-can u say ****?

She is the best thing since sliced bread! She doesn't assume that you don't have a life like most professors, because she has one of her own. Great program advisor and teacher. She should teah all the English classes. Administration would be very surprised with the grade increase.

Awesome teacher, probably one of the best English teachers I have ever had. If you don't mind the walk all the way to the Prakken building definately sign up for her class. You won't regret it.
