Amanda is the most empathetic professor I have ever come across. She was very accessible outside of class, despite having hundreds of students in her lecture. I went from almost failing midterms to getting a high A in the class because Amanda gave me the motivation and guidance I needed. She sets a great example for women in STEM. Best prof ever!Rate My Professors ↗

This was my second semester with Dr. S and she is awesome. She makes learning ochem fun and approachable. Highly recommend her as a professor!Rate My Professors ↗
Great professor! Often made an effort in lecture to connect chemistry with modern, relevant, and funny topics which helped with memorization of difficult content.Rate My Professors ↗
The reason why I enjoyed/ succeeded in ochem! Her lectures were engaging made ppl her sections want to show up to class. HIGHLY recommend going to office hours, she used this time to explain what students didnt understand from class. Overall my favorite professor in college so far.Rate My Professors ↗
Amanda was awesome. Made the beast of ochem a little less ominous and frightening. Truly cares about her students. Funny and lighthearted, and very intelligent. Take her lecture if you canRate My Professors ↗
