I had to drop this class because Kate was the most demotivating professor i have ever had. She will make you feel incompetent. Once she has her mind made up about you she won't acknowledge you nor help you.

By far the absolute worst professor ever, my class of 30 ended up being 13 people after just 2 classes because more than half the class dropped out. She is a crazy witch woman that should have stopped teaching 40 years ago, and you can clearly tell she hates her job and everyone in the class. Will make you look and feel stupid if you ask questions.

I do not feel like she spent enough time in class going over material in the course content, instead she went over content from the self help books she wants you to use for your assignments. I do not feel set up for either business or academic writing.

Shes more of a self help, alternative healing guru than a professor. She thoroughly enters a realm of mental and physical health improvement seminars. She emphasizes that goals are a burden and strategies are the sole key to successful writing, along with Self-awareness, conscious, free-will, and imagination.

extremely disorganized and comes off as unprofessional. Refuses to give the syllabus until week 2, does not provide anything online. Lectures are very confusing and unstructured, assignments have little instruction and a difficult marker. Gives assignments and says they are "prep" for a report but wont give info on report. would never recommend.

She was honestly the worse professor I have ever had. Was straight up mean to her students and kept talking for ALL of the class, when she expected us to finish in class assignments... would not recommend her unless you follow her "guidelines" 100% and have really good business writing skills already

very disorganized. She wants the students to prepare a so called 'Report' but never gives any clear guidelines to it. All she wants the students to use are some random self-help books she 'shows' in class and magically conceive a report from the photocopies handouts of the books. she literally makes faces, if someone asks her a doubt or a question.

She is the most intense prof I have ever had. If you don't show up to class she will call you out in front of everyone. She even kicked one guy out of the class. You have to have strong English skills: reading, writing and listening. You have to listen 100% of the time in class or she will call you out. DO NOT RECOMMEND!

I was really disappointed with this instructors teaching criteria as she is unorganized, lacks communication within her feedback, emails and class instructions. This instructor doesnt do much to help her students succeed as many students are always left confused with unanswered questions. I would not recommend taking her after this experience.

Term project: a report on how to b a better student using photocopied pages from self-help books that u had to return @ the end of class. No real opportunity to take notes since she just switched sheets on the projector, underlining a word b4 going back to another page & pointing. Never made eye contact, just stared @ the wall the whole lecture.

Dont take it. would give a0 if i could. You never know your grade, she only marks like 3 reports which she gives little criteria on and is very judgemental about. heard her say "What are you even doing?" to students, when she never even told us what we should be doing. Whole class confused when she finishes her lectures ur suposed to take notes on?

Find another prof. She even clearly stated that English must be your 1st language in order to succeed in this course. She will give you photocopies of self-help books and tell you to turn it into a 20-page "report" on "communication." I have never seen so many students confused and at a loss of what to do in my entire education.

Got this Prof? Drop the course. Assignments are extremely unclear and vague. The class barely had to do with learning about business writing, more like let's read, take notes and write a paper on her favorite boring authors. If you don't write what she says, you will fail. She also gives every student different advice and marks everyone differently

If you are not constantly listening and making sure you hear and write down everything that she says, you WILL have a horrible time with this course. Critical information for assignments are sometimes only shown on the projector for seconds at a time and never repeated again. Avoid this professor at all costs if you want to keep your GPA intact

Experienced same difficulties as everyone but I actually did well in this class despite how tough she is. GOAL to pass: listen/take notes, don't complain, stay positive, help each other. Avoid complaining classmates! Her tasks/assignments are very simple but we tend to complicate it. Project-based, no exams. hard 4 non-domestic students but do-able

I can tell you one thing she is a joke, she is the worst human being you can meet in Douglas college. Her instructions are vague and unclear just like her old and miserable life. She does not give feed back what so ever. I think I can learn the same education on youtube for free. It almost seemed like she enjoys giving students a hard time.

Kate sangha is probably the worst professor I have ever had she takes FOREVER to answer your emails and gives ABSOLUTLEY no feedback on any of your work submitted, she just tells you to read and re read the instructions that are unclear and definitely favors some students don't ever take her class u will be teaching yourself the whole time.

Imagine a worse professor, and then comes Kate Sangha. To think she teaches a communication course but doesn't know how to communicate herself. Late replies to emails, stupid assignments. I have never seen an instructor so full of ego than her. She thinks she owns English and the only way you can learn how to write is by following her stupid method
