Class was okay. But, during our final exam, when all was silent, she was walking down the aisles as we took our tests. As she passed by me, she let out some loud horrible gas.

This was my first B grade though because the way she weights assignments is not with points but with %. I skipped one assnmt and though it would have taken 10m it was 10% of grade.

If you're looking for an easy A, this is NOT the class for you. She never lectures, so the student has to read from the textbook for everything.

She gives great feedback and helps you improve your papers. You will have to type a lot of papers, but that's probably expected in a history class.

Dr. Sadler is a caring and dedicated professor. As long as you stay on top of assignments, you'll be fine. It's definitely not an easy A though. If you're motivated and good at writing, you're golden.

The overall class was intresting. But the way she graded stuff was completely un-fair. Her grading system makes no sense. But overall shes a funny teacher. Sometimes (BTW I took World History 127)

Dr. Sadler made an 8am history class enjoyable, and even comical at times; that should be enough of a reason to take her. Throughout the term we answered questions in groups, writing theses and supporting details for essay questions that would ultimately appear on the midterm and final (win-win). Only hard part was the online quizzes.

Dr. Sadler was a very good professor to take from. She gives great feedback and has excellent communication. You do have to work for your grade and keep up on your homework, but if you do that it is pretty easy to get a good grade. I am definitely going to take from her again!

Katherine Sadler was a very interesting teacher. On one side, she's nice, cares for her students in some ways that some students may not like, and has a very unusual sarcastic sense of humor. On the other side though, she talks a lot in class, because that's what the assignments are around, which can be very boring for us teenagers.

She leaves extensive overly wordy feedback on literally every single assignment. No matter how well it was completed, she will always have something negative to say. Also, I have been in this class for one semester and couldn't tell you one bit about any actual history content learned, but I sure can show you the correct format for a thesis.

Lots of homework
So many papers

Dr. Sadler gives great feedback on every assignment you turn in. The Inquizitive assignments helped solidify knowledge on the chapters we read. Sometimes her sarcasm was offputting, but overall had a good experience. Took her class online.

Dr. Sadler was the worse professor I have ever taken. She was very strict about each assignment. She would give me a lower grade for not including information that was not required in her initial instructions. Her instructions were very unclear, along with the test questions. I worked so hard in her class, and barely managed an A. Do not take her!

I'm currently enrolled in Dr. Sadler's history of genocide class. The workload is slightly more than average, but she honesty puts in more work than you will. She gives exceptional feedback, that most likely has a higher word count than your initial assignment. She also sends announcements about current issues that are really cool. Great class.

Dr. Sadler is very organized and precise. She gives feedback and expects students to use it. She is what I expect out of a college professor. If you have questions, she's prompt to answer them and is willing to work with you. My absolute favorite professor of all time!! Expect to do the work, though. It's worth it, you will get a lot out of it!

Hands down, she's my favorite professor that I've ever had. She is tough, but if you really absorb her feedback (which is extensive, and incredibly helpful) you will learn a lot. If you have no interest in improving academically, or you're looking for a cake class, she is not for you. If you like to be challenged and learn, I 100% recommend her.

She actually reads all your work thoroughly to see if you are not typing random gibberish unlike the average professor. There is a lot of reading but it is interesting and the work isn't too hard, but you can't half-a** it. This may be bad for some students but she is respectable for actually doing what a professor is supposed to do.

Her class is unclear in its grading criteria and the work is done in such a particular way that I don't think she understands her audience. She teaches the class like its supposed to be the only one a student should be taking. She grades down for not including information or particulars that ARE NOT covered in the reading. Stay away.

I would never take this professor's class again. She is a very picky and hard grader. She will grade you down a lot for any misunderstandings in an assignment. She is very strict with her late policy. If an assignment is a couple minutes late, she will not grade it. I put a lot of effort in her class however it is not appreciated in this class.

The class was pretty interesting but it could be a little difficult at times. A week consisted of reading a chapter in the textbook, taking a test and writing a discussion post from the reading. Dr. Sadler is a good professor and gives useful and extensive feedback as she wants to see you improve your work as you move on throughout the course.

Dr.Sadler's class was honestly one where I could really enjoy what I was learning. She made sure that with every discussion, she included very detailed responses to them and did not grade too harshly. You can really tell she loves what she does!
