Awesome teacher for Statistics...extremely clear and takes the students though the steps slowly enough for us Non-Math people.

Very knowledgeable and helpful. She kinda has a holier than though attitude but her classes were very interesting.

she is very nice, but goes fast with each topic. she teaches very clearly, but she loses alot of students as the class goes on. the overall subject is hard, only if you do not keep up with the work.

she was very kind and flexible, but at the same time not unwilling to cut you down if you were out of line. all around an awesome prof.

she's simply the best most knowledgable prof i've encountered

I enjoyed this class so much. She chose interesting topics for class discussions and was always available for extra help. As for what everyone is saying about her being a hard teacher, if you do the work, you will get the grade you deserve. She is a fair teacher and for the people who dont care to try, they wont like her classes.

Great professor. Speaks really well..dont know why other people say she sucks, probably just because their dumb and dont attend class because its mommy and daddys money anyway. Take this class even if you dont like math because a 10 year old could figure these formulas out. If you do all of your homework and extra credit you will get an A or B for

This class would have been so much harder without Professor Sandberg. I recommend taking this class with her. She explains everything pretty clearly and willing to go over things you don't understand. As long as you do the homeworks and are top of your work you'll get an A.

I found Dr.Sandberg to be not only a great professor but also a great advisor. She is always on top of things, very clear, and really enjoys her career choice. She rarely misses class. Although there is always homework, its really easy to do. For someone who has always had a hard time in math like myself, I found statistics to really make sense wit

Professor Sandberg is awesome! She really knows what she is talking about and is all about helping her students out. She is a very fair grader and if you put in the effort she will reward you with a fair grade! I would highly recommend her if you get the chance to take a class with her

I'm taking my freshman seminar with her and I think she's an excellent teacher! She definitely knows what she's talking about, she's very entertaining in class and very nice. She gives extensions on papers if you ask her ahead of time, and is very understanding. I would take another class with her if I had the chance!!

Taking Professor Sandberg class was very much worth my time. If you do all your work and she sees that you are making an effort you will get a good grade. In this class i didn't learn that much but I came out with a really good grade! I highly recommend her and wish I was able to take her class again! TAKE HER CLASS! SHE IS SO NICE & HELPFUL!

She is a great teacher. You will learn a lot. She gives useful assignments and everything about her assignments are clear. She uses black board so you know how your doing the whole semester which is really useful. Overall fair teacher, go to class and do the work and you will learn a lot

Class is simply her going over slides, but fortunately she posts them online. There's homework every class period, which is normally reading 20 pages and doing a few online assignments on it. Almost everything in the class is online, but the website is very glitchy this semester. Tests are MC only, and they tend to be worded annoyingly.

I really liked Dr. Sandberg. Her lectures, while mostly material from the book, are helpful for digesting information, and she's a really funny, casual, conversational lecturer. Never had a problem staying awake, even at 9am. Homework was busy work, and the tests weren't too bad. Class is what it should be: a good intro to the field.

Dr. Sandberg was great. Her lectures are mostly material from the book, but they're helpful to digest the info. She's really funny, and her lectures are very conversational, which helps keep you awake at 9am. The homework was all online and super easy, and the tests weren't too bad either. She's interesting to talk to outside of class.

Even though her lectures mostly review information from the book, her conversational style keeps them interesting. Her tests incorporate specific material from the book and her lectures, so keep up with both. The tests aren't bad, but even then your grade is padded with homework and other assignments. Good class.

Very entertaining and quirky lecturer, and she often supplements the reading with interesting information which is on the test, but reading the book is the most important part of the class. Tests aren't bad, and the overall grade is padded with fairly easy outside assignments and homework. If you put in the work, an A shouldn't be out of reach.

she was a great lecturer and the material was interesting. tests were all multiple choice questions and were difficult, but the portfolio project (30% of your grade) and the research participation (10%) and homework (10%) made it possible to have bad grades on the midterms but still to have an overall good grade in the class

She did not give clear indication that the tests would be difficult with the type of homework she assigned. The class is overall pretty easy, because most of the points you can earn come from things you get to spend a lot of time on. I personally disliked the class because she didn't make it worthwhile to come to class.

Great teaching style. Very clear and interesting in class, but the tests can catch you off guard the first time or two. Do not need help outside of class and ask her anything though. She has T.A.s for you to associate with not really so much her. The final project is great, however, it provides a lot of cushion for your grade.

Course is a great survey of psychology. Her lectures are clear and interesting. There's online hw before every class, which could add up. The tests are manageable if you put the effort into studying. This class prompted me to pursue psych as a major and take another class with her the semester after. I 100% recommend it!

Easy to do well if you actively do the homework. Lectures aren't mandatory but sometimes extra credit is offered. Also, there are questions on tests about in-class activities.

I love her during her lectures because she is funny and kept us interested in the topics. But the exams are haaaaaaaard.

Sandberg is an interesting woman...she is whiny and somewhat harsh and unapproachable. Despite this, the lectures are interesting (lots of graphics and cool videos) and she keeps it light and funny for the most part. The homework is pretty mandatory, and is kind of busy work. Tests are WAY harder than the class itself, beware! Keep up w/ reading.

Dr. Sandberg is witty and articulate. Class is not mandatory, but you should go because the lectures include material that will be on the tests, and she shows clips of videos that are quite interesting. To prepare for the tests, practice the Learning Curve tests that are online-- they are key to getting an A.

Test questions are really vague but she provides a lot of grade cushioning. Study the lecture slides she posts online

This class on autism was very interesting for someone who knew nothing about ASD. That said, Sandberg knows her stuff yet the class is more of a survey than real nitty-gritty material. It's a pretty easy A, and the work load is some of my lowest at Vandy. I wish Sandberg had lectured more but instead there is a lot of fruitless group discussion.

This is a great class. Her expectations are very clear, and as long as you do the readings, the homework and quizzes are easy.

She inspired me to study psychology and pursue it at the graduate level. With her, you will move mountains (with your brain!).

Good lecturer. The class is huge, but Sandberg makes a point to spur class participation with handouts and clicker questionssurveys. Tests are MC and pretty hard, but she lets you buffer your grade with a lot of easy homework assignments and research credits. You don't have to go to class, but she does a lot of extra credit.

Tests are kind of hard, but take good notes, highlight key things in the book, and review lecture slides, and you should do pretty well. Sandberg's lectures are pretty interesting, even if a significant amount of time is spent fighting with the microphone or watching videos. A great introduction to psych and would def take again.

Class is pretty clear-cut. HW is a huge part of the grade, so make sure to complete it because it was a grade-saver. Interesting class. Tests are very difficult though- many questions are badly worded and have several possible answers. If you do well on the HW and portfolio, and complete the extra credit- you can get a good grade.

Sandberg has been my favorite professor so far. She's very clear about what she wants from you and her lectures are usually funny and interesting. Her sarcasm is awesome. You must read to do well and the tests are tough, but definitely worth taking general psych with her.

Experimental Design is a drag, but if you have to take it, be sure to take it with Sandberg. She's really engaging and funny.

Experimental Design is a waste of a class, but if you're taking it, you probably have to anyway. Sandberg is competent, but this class is basically just applying common sense and learning excessively specific vocabulary. The class moves really slowly, especially since most classes consist of just answering questions about studies, but she's fine.

Professor Sandberg is very nice! Pretty funny a lot of times, too. You need to read the textbook, and attendance isn't mandatory but you should definitely show up to class since clicker questions are sometimes used for bonus points/grades and the activities done in class sometimes show up on tests.

Attendance wasn't mandatory, and tests are more based on textbook readings, but there are some test questions based on lectures. Expect daily readings (short, but also assigned with short online assignments), and a few other assignments. However, if you do the work, it's definitely easy to get a good grade.

Dr. Sandberg is a really nice lady and she's a very funny and enthusiastic lecturer. Tests are all multiple choice and unnecessarily tricky. They're out of 50-60 points so it's hard to get an A. Definitely need to go to class because she takes some info from class for the tests. I hate psych, and this class didn't change that.

Dr. Sandberg is a great professor. She is fun and very knowledgeable about autism. This class is definitely worth taking.

Sandberg rocks. Go to her lectures - not just because you'll be tested on them, but because she's funny and helpful and absolutely worth it.

Sandberg's class is great because her expectations are always very clear and fair. Her lectures are interesting, and she can be pretty funny at times too - plus the material can be very fascinating. That being said, her tests are very difficult and the class overall is very difficult to get an A in. If you're looking for an easy A, don't take

Sandberg is great. Homework is easy, just keep up with the readings and you'll be fine. Tests have a few tricky questions, but not awful by any means. Her lectures are funny and connect interesting stories and things to topics covered by the book. Go to class! She does clicker questions for attendance points occasionally.

Sandberg is a pretty solid professor with fairly interesting lectures. However, the portfolio assignment is graded harshly with basically no explanation for what they're looking for, and the tests are hard. I somehow pulled out an A-, but I had to work myself to death during finals week to bring myself up. Not a bad class but by no means an easy A

General psychology isn't impossible by most measures, but the class is tougher than most people expect. It's important that you get as many points on non-test assignments as possible because there aren't many tests and they are fairly challenging. The class material is based mostly on textbook chapters but some lecture content is tested.

First year writing seminar is good. She could be more open to new ideas, but overall a good professor.

Sandberg is really funny and has great lectures. Her exams are not easy- the average grades for the class were usually around high 70s/low 80s. That being said, she gives plenty of grade boosters and I was able to get a decent grade. Her class is not easy but it's manageable if you work hard.

There was online homework due before every class, but it did help me stay on top of the reading, which helped when studying for the exams. The exams were reasonable, multiple choice. Attendance wasn't mandatory, but she'd include stuff from class on the tests and do demonstrations and activities. I appreciated her sarcastic humor.

If you're taking Exp. Design, be a psych major. Otherwise, probably don't take this. I think Sandberg does a good job of expanding upon concepts if you've read the material before we reach it in class, but if not, it's kind of confusing. Attendance taken on clickers. Randomly put in groups for projects, these are graded HARSHLY. Quizzes are easy.

My favorite lectures were "Don't Do Meth" and "How To Not Get Pregnant". She's a pretty cool professor and she doesn't just repeat what's in the book, so doing the reading is a must and homework is not optional. If you put the time and effort into this class, you're guaranteed a good grade.

This class follows a strange pass/fail checklist system of grading that makes getting an A really easy. This class is very engaging. Class attendance can be used to request re-grades. Lectures are funny and enforce reading. Midterms contain tricky questions, but only 80% is needed. Final is super easy w/ essay topics given before.

Requires reading but not hard honestly. If you are interested in psychology definitely go take it.

Dr. Sandberg is an amazing teacher. She knows her material extremely well and her lectures are very interesting because she uses funny videos and games. Her tests are hard because there is a lot of material but they are very fair and you don't have to guess about what she is testing you on. She is very clear in all her grading criteria.

While the many criteria for an A might scare some, her class is actually manageable. Be on top of the reading, do the homework and take notes (exams do include material that's only covered in lectures!) and you will be fine. Analyses of news articles are required for grades higher than B and they are graded strictly, so keep an eye out for that.

There are only three total exams and five analyses that you are graded on, so it is important to do well on those. You can retake the exams which is helpful for boosting your grade, but they cover a lot of material. Overall, just read the textbook and take notes during lectures, and you should be fine.

really interesting lectures, clear lecturer, pretty easy class overall. She tells you exactly what you need to do to get a certain grade in the class. Attendance is not mandatory, but you get tokens for perfect attendance that you can exchange for extensions, research hours, test retakes, etc.

Dr. Sandberg is a funny teacher who makes psychology very interesting. The class itself isn't too hard, but the tests (3 multiple choice tests) are much harder than you'd expect. If you study fairly hard and actually focus on the online homework rather than flying through it you should be fine. She is funny and will send out snarky emails too.

Pretty easy A and she's pretty engaging for such a large lecture. You'll probably be bored if you take it as a junior or senior though

It's easy to get behind on reading, so don't. If you stay on top of your reading and the Launchpad homework as well as your news analyses, you should get an A. She let us take a 3x5 notecard of notes with us for our essay final, if that gives you an indication of this class. The lectures are fairly interesting, with lots of videos included.

I thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Sandberg's lectures. The class was interesting and relatively easy. Homework and reading were assigned for every lecture, but they were far from difficult. Exams were not especially difficult; the material was based off both the book and lectures.

Took her for FYWS (Language Parade). Quickly became my favorite professor--class was casual, fun, and covered what the students were interested in. Very light workload. Grades about participation, small group project, short writings, and essays. Vague criteria for essays. A fun class that will make you appreciate linguistics (or just love it more)

(Aut in Cntxt) Fun class that teaches both what is the scientifically-supported argument and reasons people believe debunked arguments. Covers a lot of topics at a more shallow level, non-text books. Grade depends on midterm and final papers (but we had an easy alt final) and the group project (random groups and topics, varying presentation dates)

Dr. Sandberg is a great professor! She's knowledgable and a very easy grader. I would recommend this class if you want an easy A.

Prof. Sandberg is extremely organized and very specific in her lectures. She has been giving this class for years now and tells you exactly what you need to know for the exams. Retakes are encouraged and worth an enormous part of your grade. She will work around your schedule for exam retakes. She wastes some lectures with pointless videos though.

Sandberg lets you retake every test with your retake weighted as much as your attendance. An easy A if you put in the work.

General Psychology was an enjoyable class. The tests were moderately difficult, but there was a retake option provided after every test. The class covers a lot of material, but Professor Sandberg made it very interesting. My only complaint is how outspoken Professor Sandberg could be at times about her political beliefs.

Sandberg provided a good range of activities and supplements to aid in learning the material, given that this was an online course. There are lots of grades that can help carry your average in the case that you may not be the best test taker. Overall, I enjoyed this class and would take Sandberg again.

Professor Sandberg's Autism in Context class had lots of reading and movies/TV, but enjoyable content. This semester, class was hybrid, with a project composed of 3 essays (for 2 of them, you got peer reviews on a rough draft), along with completion based prep work. Discussion posts and leading discussions rounded out the grading. Great class!

I think Professor Sandberg's reputation precedes here. People are too judgemental. I loved her class. She was organized in her lectures, gave you accurate feedback, and she knew her content well. She catered to the COVID 19 crisis by making the class asynchronous, dropping the lowest grades, and using more accessible resources. I think she's great.

I was pretty apprehensive about PSY-1200 after hearing that I'd be better off avoiding it. I had no problems with the course at all and actually appreciated Dr. Sandberg's flexibility and understandings. The guidelines were very clear and Dr. Sandberg adjusted a few deadlines when she noticed we were all stressed. Definitely keep up w readings!

Dr. Sandberg gets a horrible reputation, but I really don't think she deserves it. She was so flexible with her teaching that she was willing to reframe the class a bit to accommodate for others' rude comments. I feel like I learned a lot in the class, and I don't think that this class was any harder than STEM classes you could choose to take.

Dr. Sandberg doesn't deserve her reputation, and people are dramatic about the workload. The homework assignments are busy work but the class became so much more manageable after she made the tests open-note and open-book. You can tell she wants her students to succeed. 7 mid-terms is a lot but open-book open note makes them much better.

I genuinely enjoyed Dr. Sandbergs class! She got a LOT of negative feedback last semester, but I never found the course to be difficult. As long as you keep up with the reading, you should be fine. It also helps if you have interest in psych. Shes really funny during lecture, and its clear she cares about the students experience in her class.

Professor Sandberg is one of a kind. She cares about her students beyond the classroom. Yes, she goes on tangents, frequently takes a lot of class time to discuss "class business," and changes the structure of the syllabus like like no other, but she is a great professor. I have taken her classes three semesters in a row now, you will be fine.

Personally, I think people are too hard on Dr. Sandberg. She's kind, funny, and makes herself available if you need help. She literally talked to the department to make PSY 2150 a proposal as opposed to an experiment you carry out because she said that's not realistic in the timeline of a semester. For a required course, she made it manageable.

She's wonderful!

Absolutely loved Professor Sandberg. Very caring and passionate, clear rubrics.

She was always willing to help you out with your grade and truly cares.

My fav prof ever. Can't recommend enough. So nice & understanding. I took 2 of her classes bc I like her so much & 1 of them didn't even count towards anything. U can reach out to her about anything (doesn't even have to be related to the class) & she will help u. She helped me through a death in the family & even wrote me a letter of rec.

I took MHS2520 & PSY1111 w/ her. Both were very manageable & it's so easy to get a good grade. She is very chill & always willing to work w/ students & give extensions. She is extremely knowledgeable about autism & actually wrote a textbook (100% optional). The required readings are very interesting & I had a lot of creative freedom on assignments.

CORE is not a typical class so I can't speak to her abilities to actually teach but she was caring and did not make us work harder than any other professor. She attempted to get the class engaged even if it meant randomly calling on students. She seems accommodating and engaging enough.
