Presentation is funny and down to earth. Not an easy subject,but she's great!!!

Not a bad teacher, I guess. Tough material, so go to class, otherwise, you're screwed. Webass really is awful. Her examples are totally off the wall. And I guarantee she will tell you she had cancer.

Best instructor in Chem department. Very nice and caring, but fair. She gives you a head start to a fairly easy A, so anyone complaining about difficulty is just lazy. Class attendence is mandatory. Also very organized.

Very nice teacher. She gives each student ample opportunity to get an A or high B in her class.

Very organized. All of her presentations are done with powerpoint. She is very helpful outside of class. You must go to class to fully understand everything. There are a lot of webassigns, but she gives extra credit too. Great professor.

Great Professor

Very challenging class but done very well. Kay Sandburg is the best chemistry teacher ever. Very organized.... and GO TO CLASS

Wonderful professor! If you have to take a large auditorium chem class, she is the best teacher for the job. You do have to pay attention, but she makes it easy.

Organic Chem: Excellent!! Slides are very good, and you can follow step-by-step the lecture at home using the "interactive" slides, AND they go nicely with the book. Homework due 30 mins before the next lecture is brilliant! Stays fresh in y

Easy for 101, but its a lot harder to learn with her in 223. She has well-organized lectures, but she goes off-topic so much that its often hard to focus. Also, be prepared to work a long time on the webassigns. She is very nice and approachable.

She's an awesome teacher! Organic is going to be hard no matter who you have (its just the subject matter). She explains it well. Take her, especially if you are planning on going on to take MCATS, DAT, etc.

She is very enthusiastic about organic chemistry. She is very helpful if you make effort to go see her and get help. The class and course material are not that easy compared to the general chemistry classes, but by following Dr. Sandberg's advice and keeping up with the class work it is much easier than other organic classes.

Enthusiastic instructor but I felt as though I was being talked to like a kindergartener. Too much sunshine if you know what I mean. Her computer tests are a sham. The difficulty lies on us the student so she doesn't have to spend time manually grading. WebAssign okay for homework but should be banned for tests.

some people rag on her for the analogies... relationship chemistry etc.. bottom line is she is extremely organized and does an awesome job at covering the material. My favorite chem professor I've ever had for a lecture hall class

After having "the Bum" for 221 and learning next to nothing, I was waaay behind when 223 started. She was a GREAT help to me! She's super nice, down to earth, and cheerful! Organic isn't the easiest, so plan to spend some time with the book, your notes, the web, and your classmates!

shes good

Professor is great and very helpful! If taking further organic, you will be glad you had her!

Makes chem easy to understand but requires a lot. Not very understanding because she thinks everyone is trying to get away with something. Final exam is 34% of grade. Questions asked in class are on new material and are your answers are graded. Don't take this class while taking other difficult classes.

I wish I would have taken her for Organic 1. She has a certain way of teaching, but everything she explains makes sense. She is very challenging, but when is organic not? No curve, but 30 extra points goes toward homework! She is willing to help if you make an extreme effort! Keep in mind, this is a weed out course for all science majors!!!

Hard class if you don't keep up and pay attention. Attendance mandatory b/c it affects your grade a lot if you don't go (clicker questions). Webassign is hard but not impossible. Just study like crazy before each test and you'll do fine.

Very helpful professor. Because attendance is mandatory I was able to understand the material very well. Organic chemistry is a very difficult topic, but I'm very fortunate to have ended up with her for a professor. Oh and she is very energetic and is bound to keep the class awake.

Organic is extremely difficult to me, but the instructor loves her subject and tries to make concepts as obvious as possible, provides analogies and helpful tips for memorization/clarity.

Awesome teacher. I hate chem but she makes me love organic! You have to be in class to receive points, I recommend you always go! Gives skeletal notes and plenty of opportunities to pull up your grade if you're suffering. I suggest taking both organic II with her if you take I with her. Otherwise, you may get lost with other teachers.

Dr. Sandbeg is an awesome professor. She LOVES the material and is more than willing to help everyone who wants to get a good grade. I highly reccomend taking her she is a great organic prof. who makes sure you learn your stuff!

Excellent teacher, if you go to class and pay attention you will get a passing grade in the class. Organic is not easy, and not everyone can get an A, but there is not reason for you to fail if you have Sandberg, she provides every opportunity for you to pass the course.

Dr. Sandberg is one of the best professors I have ever had. If you have the opportunity to take Organic 1 or 2 from her, take it! She is very enthusiastic and gives clear and helpful examples. It is hard to make O Chem enjoyable but she did. I am now a TA and I reflect on her teaching style when trying to prepare my own examples.

To be fair, organic is a very difficult class. Dr Sandberg really loves organic and loves teaching. She does rely heavily on technology, lots of webassigns, powerpoints, clickers, online tests. Getting to face to face office hours can be difficult, and she moves through the course material pretty fast. Not a terrible teacher, but not for everyone.

I was doing very well in her class until I had to miss one lecture for health reasons. I was very behind time after that. Her teaching style is very active and she provides lots of mnemonic devices to remember material. She's a technofreak so be prepared for EVERYTHING to be electronic (exams included). Overall, she makes orgo relatively easy.

Organic Chemistry is a hard class, but Dr. Sandberg makes it as fun as she can with numerous anecdotes and a colorful personality. She requires a lot of work, with in class assignments and homeworks, but if you attend class and do the work you will pass the class. Very technology heavy, but she spends ages making difficult concepts understandable.

She is a very good teacher and explains things in an interesting way and all the material is on a comp infront of you in class and at anytime. webassign during and aft class makes sure u know material for test. Tests are extremely easy no tricks or anything. If u think this class is hard change majors!f

Good teacher. Missing class is not an option. She goes through the material so fast that you really have to be paying attention. It was hard to keep up through the semester.

Dr. Sandberg is a joy to have. Some people get upset because she doesn't curve, but if you go to class and do the work, you don't need a curve. The only people I have heard complain about her have been those who routinely skip class and homeworks. If you don't practice content, YOU WILL FAIL ANY COLLEGE CLASS, and Orgo II is no exception.

Awesome professor!!! Must attend class and really learn the material to do well. Very funny and entertaining in class. Explains the material clearly and walks you through every reaction in a "soap opera" fashion.

Awesome teacher. some find her challenging. but if you keep up with her powerpoints you will ace her class

She is an extremely helpful instructer that really wants students to understand the course material. Her homework and tests are relatively hard but should be okay if practice enough. Her in-class assignments are helpful because you can talk to your group to help better understand the material.

Very passionate professor who tries to come up with clever ways for you to learn the material. The classwork and homework isn't too bad since you can work in groups, but the tests are very tricky, confusing, and disheartening. Prepare to work very hard to thoroughly understand the material if you want a decent grade.

She's a pretty good professor but organic chemistry is just hard. Prepare to do a LOT of work and make sure to study everyday. Tests are VERY hard. I had an A throughout the semester but the final was impossibly difficult and I ended up with a B+. Uses clever ways to teach material but goes way too fast. Webassign tests are somewhat annoying

It was hard transitioning from my Org. I prof. to Sandberg because she is very loud, fast, and energetic, and her class is run entirely on technology (clicker questions, webassign hw and tests, powerpoint notes, etc.). But she explains things thoroughly and in a way that helps you memorize it. Have to study hard!

Dr. Sandberg is a really nice woman and great professor. She really tries to help her students. I would caution anyone who did not take for Organic 1 who is thinking about taking her for 2 though. She has a very different teaching style. It is a difficult class in general and builds on Organic 1.

Dr. Sandberg was the best chemistry professor that I have ever had. She knew how to teach the material and she was glad to help with any questions. Her tests were very hard being timed on WebAssign and I always thought we never got enough time, but if you go into the tests calmly, you can do anything in Sandberg's class.

Professor Sandberg is a really great chemistry professor. She is very energetic and makes class interesting, although her homework is difficult sometimes because you get very few submissions. She uses online instruction some in the lecture sections as well. Have to study hard, for sure, but she will help if you ask. Best chem professor I've had!

I dropped her after the second exam. The webassigns were hard to keep up with and she intentionally made the second and third tests hard because students made too high of grades on the first exam. To me, that's bull and shouldn't even be a concern to teachers. The focus should be on TEACHING. Nonetheless, Sanberg did teach the material well mostly.

Dr. Sandberg is one of the greatest professors I had throughout my entire freshman year. Yes, the material can be difficult, but through the use of her technology she drives it into your head until you understand it. Highly recommended, but bring your "A" game. YOU DONT MESS WITH ORGANIC CHEMISTRY. I recommend you get a HW group together.

As a senior, she is one of the best teacher I have had. If you truly want to understand organic chemistry for MCAT, etc... this is the class to take. This class is not for anyone who is looking for an easy A or a passing grade. Students might feel overwhelmed by the materials she covered in class, but all of the notes are online.Her tests are tough

The best organic professor at NC State! She puts all of her notes online and she explains everything really well. Be prepared to do a lot of work and study, but if you put effort into the class, you'll get a good grade. I always recommend her to anyone who hasn't taken organic yet.

Spectacular professor-- easily the best I've ever had in my life. Textbook is never needed (this is Organic!) and she will teach absolutely everything ever needed in class. She'll even tell you exactly how she'll try and trick you, so as long as you pay attention, she won't be able to. If you want to know Organic, and know it well, take Sandberg.

She provides you with everything you need to be successful in Orgo. All of the resources are at your fingertips. Watch her lecture videos over and over. Orgo is hard but as long as you keep up with the class you should do fine. I though her exams were easier than the homework. Final was brutal - I recommend rewatching all the lecture videos before

Dr. Sandberg is the best Orgo professor NC State has to offer. I took her for 221 and 223, getting B's in both classes. Organic Chem is tough, but Sandberg does her best to make sure you have all the knowledge and resources necessary to do well.

Dr. Sandberg is the BEST organic chemistry professor around. She uploads individual lecture videos for each lecture, so you can rewatch it when you get home if you missed something. There's also skeletal notes that you can print out and fill out during class. Go ahead and print them - there's no textbook to buy & it's the best way to take notes.

The archetypal teacher. Will take you to the edge of destiny if you let her. Took the flipped course. It's the way of the future as far as math and science education. Nowhere on Earth and with no one else could I have had a more ideal foray into this scary subject. You have to trust her. Do what she says and a little bit more and you'll be fine.

She can be really clear about what she wants from you, but she will also occasionally trick you. That set aside, she does want you learn the material. It's tough, but she's a good teacher and she's always there to help.

If you have to take Orgo, take it with Dr. Sandberg. The class is TOUGH, but if you do what you're supposed to (attend every class, watch all the lectures, do every assignment, and drill the practice exams before exams until you get a 100), you'll get through. She's super willing to help and is VERY prepared.

Ms. Sandberg is by far my favorite professor at NC State. The class is tough, don't get me wrong, but she has found a way to get students engaged during every class. Be prepared to actually have to take an interest in teaching yourself outside of the classroom, an hour and 15 minutes is not long enough to learn orgo at all! Best teacher ever!

Dr. Sandberg is one of the best teachers that I have had at State. Don't get me wrong, organic chemistry in general is rough, however, she makes it very manageable with her amusing lectures/teaching style. If you struggle with study skills, I would recommend taking her flipped section - it will require you to actually do the work.

Dr. Sandberg is an amazing teacher! You do have to take both her classes 221 and 223 to understand her teaching style, but you'll definitely have a better understanding of orgo than you would get with any other teacher.

Dr. Sandberg is the way to go for Orgo 1 and 2. Took her flipped class, but traditional is just as good (students in flipped tend to score higher on tests though). She makes Organic easy to understand, but her tests are some of the toughest I've seen. She can be annoying at times, but that shows she really cares and wants you to learn!

Dr. Sandberg is an excellent educator however this course was not structured well for students who have clinical jobs or have additional difficult classes. Expect 8-12 hours a week of work minimum on hw alone. It also takes awhile to get used to Webassign tests. If you struggle with webassign, this is not the right professor for you.

Some say don't take her for 223 if you didn't take her for 221; don't listen to them. Took the flip with her knowing absolutely nothing from 221, and ended up making an A in her class. Her tests are really tough and are the hardest I have ever seen,but if you put in the work you will do well. If you take the flip expect to spend 2hrs a lecture

Dr. Sandberg is very passionate about Organic Chemistry, but her class is tough. I had her flipped section, which I would recommend greatly as you are able to solidify the lecture in class while doing problems instead of outside of class. Definitely be ready to study, and ask questions along the way. I definitely recommend taking flipped organic.

Dr. Sandberg is an amazing teacher and by far the best organic chemistry teacher at N.C. State. Don't take her class if you don't like webassign though, because you'll be using it a lot.

Dr. Sandberg has done one of the best jobs I can imagine structuring this online class. Her lecture videos are amazing and very insightful but always to the point and ordered in a logical fashion. I wish I could have taken her in the classroom, an amazing teacher. She will make you think, but in a way as to benefit you in more than just Orgo

Dr. Sandberg is the best bet you have for organic chem. I probably could have gotten a better grade with someone else, but I actually learned everything throughout the semester and I actually understand it. Tests are HARD, but if you go to lecture and study you shouldn't have a problem. I took her flipped section.

Dr. Sandberg is one of the best Orgo professors. I took her flipped section this semester, which I preferred because of the extra practice to the corresponding lecture. She gives you everything you need to succeed. Yes, her online Webassign exams are stressful. You WILL need to study for them. Do the practice exam assigns. & KNOW the mechanisms.

SHE IS AN AWESOME PROFESSOR. LOVED HER WAY OF TEACHING

I love Dr. Sandberg and her methods of teaching. I never thought I could get A's in organic chemistry classes, but because of her flipped section it was COMPLETELY manageable to do!! Know the "how" of chemistry and her class will be a lot easier than you can imagine

Dr. Sandberg is easily one of the greatest organic chemistry professors currently in existence anywhere. Her class is in my opinion very difficult, but she is phenomenal at lectures and knows the material very well. She explains well and genuinely cares about her students' success in the course. If you have to take CH 221 or 223, take her.

Dr. Sandberg is a really entertaining and great professor. She makes a very difficult topic manageable. Even though she is great, it is important to understand that this class is HARD. Study in advance and don't fall behind. She has a lot of TAs that are very helpful, so take advantage of them if times get tough!

Dr. Sandberg knows how her students feel about organic chemistry and tried her best to inform the class in the beginning of the semester on how to get an A+ in class. You should really use those tips and tricks to your benefit! Overall though, the material is hard to grasp, but Dr. Sandberg did her best to teach the material.

Dr. Sandberg is hands down the best professor I have had. If you want to LEARN orgo, take her. It is a tough class, but she is very good at relating concepts to the real world to help students understand. She will also work with you as much as you need until you get it. She truly cares about her students as if they were her own children.

If you like doing work online (WebAssign), taking online tests, and are diligent at attending lectures and keeping up with all assignments, then Dr. Sandberg is the right professor for you! She is intelligent, passionate, kind, and humorous. She takes her job very seriously and will not forgive slackers, but she has a system for success.

Solid choice for orgo. Isn't an easy A and requires many hours of work a week but you will understand the material better. Releases practice lectures that are similar to tests. Final exam was easier than unit tests.

I took this class online for the second time after failing it last semester with a different teacher. It was tough and a lot of work, but completely doable. There are 4-5 assignments due per week. This forced me to study. The tests are hard, but just make sure you do the practice tests and understand the material including memorizing the reagents.

one of the best chemistry professors I have ever had! This woman CARES about her students. I failed the first exam & struggled with test anxiety & she gave me great advice on how to overcome it. Her exams definitely get easier as the semester goes on. Wish I could have taken Orgo 1 with her. If you get the chance, take a class with her!!

She is a very good professor. She is kind and funny, but her tests were very difficult. Her classwork was easy to keep up with and she explains concepts very well. The tests did not reflect the same work seen in class.

Sandberg gives you many opportunities to get help you understand the course material, but it is up to you if you choose to ask questions, attend TA sessions, and go to exam reviews. Be proactive about staying ahead or risk falling behind with how she teaches this class.

Her class is hard but she makes it possible for you to do well as long as you put in the effort. There is a lot of homework and the tests are testing your psychological power on how to handle the test if you know you're getting questions wrong (on WebAssign). This class has prepared me well for my journey to med school.

This is by far one of the hardest classes I have ever taken. HOWEVER, I think it was worth it. If you are looking to learn a lot and be able to do well in grad schools I recommend her. Her lectures are online, as it is a flipped class, and you do practice in class. The tests are on webassign and are very hard so you have to study a lot.

I took Dr. Sandberg for Orgo 1 and 2. After completing both courses, I can genuinely say these classes are insanely difficult. But, I do not think that either of them are impossible. Taking these classes requires a lot of hard work outside of class, but it pays off in the end.

I've had Sandberg for both Orgo I & II, and it is true that her tests are very difficult. However, she provides a ton of different resources to do well in her class. If you are majoring in a chem field, she will set a great foundation for your career, but if you'll never use orgo, avoid this class bc it'll be a lot of work for no reason.

Dr. Sandberg makes it very clear how much she cares about student success as it is evident that she puts lots of time into the coursework. The flipped model does require a ton of work outside of class, but there is no doubt you will have learned the material by the end of the course. She provides many examples and practice problems for you.

Organic Chemistry is a really challenging subject. Dr. Sandberg does a near perfect job laying solid foundations for each new concept, giving the course a feeling of consistency and flow. She's very charismatic and funny, and I look forward to her lectures and classes.

Dr. Sandberg's teaching style doesn't work for everyone, but if you actually put in the time and effort, you'll do fine in the class. You'll come out of it with a solid foundation of orgo. Her tests do have curveballs, but if you truly understand the material, you should be able to see through her tricks and do well.

I come from a school with a terrible chemistry department. This was the last class I needed to graduate and boy am I glad I took this class. There is a lecture or homework or forum post you have to do almost every day, but it counts for a large chunk of your grade instead of only exams. Online is the way to go, and prof is really nice and caring

I said I would take this professor again but honestly, it depends on the options none were better. Her lectures are super slow so I always 2x it and paused to take notes. Make a MECHANISM BOOK, do it, DO IT. Professor is ruff, tests are no joke, timed and HARD. Helpful advice, go back to the AWs and see the answers- it explains the mosts things.

Dr. Sandberg is a phenomenal professor. Her class is very difficult, but she cares about her students. She is very bubbly and takes the time to get to know her you, even in large classes. Her most important trait is that she wants you to learn the material by any means, so she does not look down on students who are struggling.

Dr. Sandberg is hands down the best professor I've had at NC State. If you have to take orgo, I would 100% choose her. My biggest advice for her class concerning her exams is if you get a bit of test anxiety in Delta, take the whole exam on paper before submitting anything. This really helped me not get frustrated and overwhelmed and stay calm.

100% recommend Dr. Sandberg if you have to take Organic I and II. Her tests are incredibly difficult but doable. Make flashcards, review lectures and make sure that you are dedicated with knowing how mechanisms work. She is by far the hardest teacher I have ever had but I have learned more from her than any other classes I have taken. Study hard!

Dr. Sandberg's class was very challenging but I feel like I actually learned orgo rather than just going through the motions to pass. I feel prepared for orgo 2. I took her flipped class, and it's not for everyone, but if you can learn that way I definitely recommend it. She is a stickler for the rules but is very sweet and cares about her students

Extremely challenging course. The old "tough but fair" adage fits Professor Sandberg very well. If you take this course it will quickly become obvious she really cares about being an excellent teacher. However, don't expect sympathy or any exceptions to the rules. Put in the work consistently, engage the TAs as needed, and prepare obsessively.

Ochem is going to be hard regardless. If you really want to learn and finish the class with great knowledge, take Dr. S. The flipped class made me worry when registering. You have to watch the lectures outside of class and actually understand it. It's only two lectures a week and doesn't take that much time to do. Best professor I've had.

This was a C wall class for me, and it is the class that kept me from pursuing my dream major. However, I can honestly say that she is the kindest and best teacher I have had here. The class is difficult, and it's not a class everyone will be able to understand or pass, but she works hard to make sure everyone is given the best opportunity to learn

Dr. Sandberg's system for teaching Orgo 2 is excellent. All of the lectures are videos, and class time is spent solving problems with TA guidance. The work you are required to do for class directly prepares you for the exams. Although organic chemistry is difficult she has found a streamlined method to give students support.

I found Dr. Sandberg to be a fantastic professor, but I can see why so many people hate her class. You have to watch her lecture videos before class, which are pretty time-consuming, and work with other students to complete in-class assignments. I learned orgo VERY comprehensively, but if you're just looking to pass, try to take someone else.

Most of the people on here just didn't study for the final and are venting about it on here. This is the hardest class I have ever taken, but Dr. Sandberg provides great video lectures, slides, and a plethora of practice problems before each exam. Once you get used to the high workload and practice a lot, you will learn a ton and do just fine.

Dr. Sandberg is not for everyone. She's your best bet if you want to learn the material extremely thoroughly and are willing to put in the time. You have to understand why everything occurs, you can't just memorize things and hope to pass. She wants students to succeed and is willing to help as long as you follow her rules on how to go about it.

Dr. Sandberg is the hardest professor I've ever had but she's also the most caring professor. She's super hard but she makes sure you are learning and understanding the material and not just memorizing. She will do anything she can to help you understand the concepts too. If you JUST wanna pass the class and not understand, don't take Sandberg.

Dr. Sandberg is extremely tough and rigid in how she operates her class. Make any mistake in the homework, exams, etc you will not receive credit. You need an extremely good understanding of Chemistry and visualization to be able to do well. Take other professors like Gorman for an easier time. Take her if you want a very good understanding of chem

Lots of memorization and notes, but it's interesting and fun to learn. She often relates a reaction to our daily experiences. Hated her at first, then grew to love her and take section 2 of Orgo with her. Her lectures are clear and tests mimic the practice tests. Talking with others helps remember things- groupwork. masterorganicchemistry dotcom

Absolutely loved her class. If you want an easy A, don't take her. If you want to learn, please take her. I hated chemistry until I took both Orgo I and II with her and hate to say I kind of loved it. In BCH now and it feels like a part of me is missing because her teaching style worked so well for me and I actually learned.

In flip style we watch the lectures and complete the homework questions embedded in the lecture's before each class and then do an in class assignment with a group of 5-8 other students and a TA. The material in organic chemistry is difficult no doubt, but Dr. Sandberg truly tries to teach you and you WILL learn and succeed IF you put in the work.

If you actually want to learn Orgo, Dr. Sandberg is the right choice. She is one of the finest teachers I have encountered. Many of the negative reviews here focus on the difficulty of the Orgo courses. I think they are conflating the professor with the material. Work hard, scale back other commitments while in these courses, and you will do well.

a good prof in teaching the material, but this class needs a lot of work, and she makes you work for the grade. my WebAssign was 100 assignments, before, in, and after class. she does give out a lot of work, but its good bc it makes you understand and ask questions, group work is rlly important and im not a big fan of test format, lots of EC

This is just a hard class with difficult material but I would not have passed if not for Dr. Sandberg's teaching style. Lectures are done online before class and in class you work with a group to practice problems, which was so helpful. She is very clear, talks slowly, and explains things in a way that just makes sense. Super kind professor.

If you are thinking of taking Organic Chemistry with any teacher, take Dr. Sandberg! Yes, this course is difficult, but the way she presents her lectures is the reason I think most people pass her class. She makes the experience fun and entertaining. As long as you put in the time and understand the what, why, and how, you can pass her class.

Orgo is a notoriously hard class however Dr. Sandberg does an excellent job of making it make sense. This will be a hard class and you will struggle regardless of who you take however, Dr. Sandberg will make sure you actually understand the material. Just be prepared to put many hours outside of class into this class.

Dr. Sandberg gets a bad rap but this class was bearable. Orgo is a hard subject, so you must put your nose to the grindstone if you want to pass. She knows her content and teaches beyond the basics. I would not have passed if I took this class with anyone else. I would recommend buying the textbook as it helped me connect when lectures fell short.

Organic chem is inevitably difficult, and Dr. Sandberg doesn't shy away from this. She makes sure you understand every aspect and teaches you to think like a chemist. The flipped classroom works really well for Orgo. This class is a challenge, but I ended up enjoying it a lot and will be taking Sandberg for orgo II as well.

Clear lectures and no surprises on exams. imo, it's super important to basically make your own schedule to keep yourself ahead on lectures. She's super nice and helpful about the content, but you'll be hit with a brick wall if you go to her about your grade (she'll tell you to look at the syllabus). Overall doable, but only if you're dedicated.

My advice is that if you have to take orgo 2, take orgo 1 with Sandberg because you really learn the material inside and out. You also have plenty of TAs that help you along the way, but you need good work ethic to see the results. For exams, study a week in advance, review the lectures, and create a formula sheet for each mechanism.

If you want to learn and remember everything about Orgo I and II, take Dr. Sandberg. If you want an easy A, do not take her. Her class is hard because the content is hard and she expects you to match her passion for the subject. If you don't, you will fall behind. If you follow her advice when it comes to studying for her tests, you will be fine.

This class style requires DISCIPLINE because it's a double edged sword. You can get by without learning (until exam time) or you can use the flipped setup to help learn, and then solidify your understanding. If you're, a) Mentally present for the recorded lectures b) Genuinely trying to contribute and understand during group work, you'll succeed

Dr. S is really nice. If you listen to what she says in class and do all the work (there's a lot), you will succeed. But I found that understanding the homework / practice exams will prepare you very well for the exam. I HIGHLY recommend joining a weekly study group through the ASC (or elsewhere) because otherwise you may spiral once it gets hard.

Everyone gives Sandburg a bad review because her class is hard, however, I think she is a wonderful teacher. She really knows organic chemistry like the back of her hand and has a lot of goofy ways to remember the material. I would recommend the flipped lecture (they statistically score 10% higher on avg) and she gives lots of extra credit options.

I didn't take her for 221 and I had a semester gap in between. Once you understand her teaching you understand the content better. I devoted most of my time to her class and I made flashcards for everything. If you can't devote a lot of time don't take her class. Her practice exams helped but it was repeated content so that was a downside for me.

This is a flipped classroom so your grade depends on showing up to class and participating. If you put in the work, you can do well in the class. I recommend taking orgo 1 with Sandberg if you're taking orgo 2 with her(I did not and it was an adjustment). This was definitely a very hard class but the TA's and most classmates are super helpful.

I took her flipped section this semester and enjoyed it! Her class is very difficult, but organic chemistry is a difficult subject no matter who you take it with. Her lectures make it so much more digestible and fun to learn. You do however need to dedicate a lot of time to her class, and you can do well if you put in the work.

I took the flipped section of this class and would definitely recommend for the best understanding of orgo. You get out of this class what you put into it as a lot of it is guided but self-paced. In class assignments are groupwork, so make sure you aren't just copying what everyone at your table says and actually understand the answers.

Sandberg's orgo class is no walk in the park, but with dedication and the right study tools like Unstuckstudy AI, it can be managed. The flipped format requires discipline, but helps make the material more digestible. Put in the work, and you'll succeed.

great teacher and explains concepts very well. I had her for the flipped 221 & 223 and got an A+ in both. If ur not disciplined enough to learn the content at home, don't take her flipped class. It's time consuming, but any orgo class will be. Don't be dissuaded by other reviews, a lot of students like to blame the teacher when the class is hard.

This class is difficult and a lot of work, but Dr. Sandberg is absolutely amazing at her job. I have never had a class be so organized and run so well, and the content will make sense if you actually do the work the way she says. She is always accessible outside of class as well. Great class.

Very difficult but also very doable. Exams are at DELTA and on WebAssign. Watch lectures at home twice a week, and class two days a week except on exam weeks. In-class work is done with a group so it isn't too bad. Great professor, great lectures, but very difficult content. I've also heard Sandberg goes more "in-depth" than other Ochem professors.

Sandberg is very good. If you take the flipped section, your lectures will be biweekly 30-60 minute videos that have questions you have to respond to. Exams make up most of your grade, but the practice exams she posts look exactly like the real exams. She is very good at explaining concepts, but if you get behind it is hard to catch up.

You have to put in the time. If you don't put in the time and effort you will definitely not do well. I would average around 6 hours per week for her class to fully understand the concepts. She does a good job, but due to the amount of material there is a lot of topics you must know. But overall I think she does a wonderful job!

Organic Chemistry is a hard class, that's a given, no professor is going to make it easy. Dr. Sandberg presented the material in a funny and readable fashion and her TAs were an enormous help. That said, her exams are extremely difficult so be prepared to study study study.

Dr. K is hard because her tests can be very unforgiving. I learn in a different manner than typical life sciences classes, which made it difficult. However, it was very fun and interesting. It takes up a lot of time, and it's A LOT of memorization. Make sure you know how to learn and manage your time if you're going to take this class.

I've thoroughly enjoyed taking both CH222 and 223 with Dr.Sandberg. She's a tough grader and her exams are hard. The flipped model doesn't work for everyone, but it did for me. Extremely helpful if you're stuck on a question. Have a fantastic retirement Dr.Sandberg!!

Please do not take her if you didn't have Orgo 1 with her. I was used to the heavy homework load, so I managed. It's orgo so you really need to make sure you study. I did well on all exams and did a bit worse than usual on the final, it is cumulative, so it's a lot to remember. I recommend going over past topics constantly throughout the semester.
