Sandra is one of my favorite teachers. She is obviously very knowledgeable and always is funny and inviting. I really do not have much else to say.Rate My Professors ↗

Sandra is great! Her classes are always fun and entertaining. Outside tutoring required, but other than that not much homework. She graded the two take home tests very fairly.Rate My Professors ↗

A little confusing personality-wise: casual and joking, but also seemingly firm, direct, impatient. Stopped reading the text half way through the course and it made no difference whatsoever. Grading was easy, but because of the schedule that's only apparent towards the end. Hard to know where you stand and if you're even learning prior to that.Rate My Professors ↗

I was anxious after my first impression of Sandy (she's very direct and to the point in emails, she answered "Yes" to my five paragraph advising question!), but she is wonderful, very experienced and easy-going. Yes, you will want to give her a big hug! People who don't like her probly think she's a little standoffish, but that's just Sandy!
