I think Professor Sanford is an amazing professor. I had so much fun in his class, I learned a lot and had an enjoyable experience working with classmates on our group project. I loved Professor Sanford's stories and how it applies to the material we're learning. You can use the study guide you hand write on the exams. Also, he offers extra credit

International trade is an online course that requires a LOT of reading, but if you're looking to pursue a business degree, it's all invaluable knowledge. Professor Sanford is a fair grader and will go out of his way to help. Keep in mind that he values participation and communication, so without those, good look making an argument for your late hw.
