Dont miss class or she will take 10 points off your grade

mrs. sands was an overall great teacher, her attendance is strict, and the essays suck, she's an extreeemmmeeely strict grader when it comes to essay my advice is to submit your paper tos smarthingking.com before you actually submit to her for any corrections and make suureeeee that you do alll your homework and you'll be find but the CLASS=HARD!!

Mrs. Sands uses the text books religiously, however, she is an extremely helpful professor. She is sweet and full of kindness. I am going to take her in the Fall.

DO NOT SKIP CLASS! She's a stickler for attendance. If you ask for her help, she will; i.e. on essays if you ask her to revise it she will give input as long as its way before due date. Bedford Reader assignments *readings* ALWAYS a 10 question quiz the next day. Do the work and you will DEFFFFF pass the class.

Good professor. I love that she posts your grades on the Cf website. This makes it very easy to keep track of your grade. Also, do the homework from the book, write well, and come to class. Usually, her classes go pretty fast. She teaches with power point, and sometimes break into groups to review eachother's essays. She is pretty too sorta.

Very strict on ATTENDENCE and grading ESSAYS!!! she teaches very well and is extremely organized with inclass and online assignments. she updates our grades constantly and gives opportunity for extra credit. just follow the syllabus.great professor, she knows what shes doing, but just really strict on grading essays.

Good teacher but dry, boring class but then again how fun can you make 1101? plenty of quizzes and tests. Lots of work, if you have other heavy classes avoid her for time sake, if not don't fret. Organized, easy to understand, but I do wish there was more flexibility to change thesis, papers, ideas, and topics.

Really nice lady. Way!!!! to hard on grading papers never got below a A on a paper before this class. In there i couldn't even get a B.

Quiet but very approachable. Just ask questions even if you repeat yourself. I took this class SummerA along with 2 other classes, had no idea I had too many classes. Haven't been to school in 27 years. She will help as long as you ask. I made a B+. I am taking her for 2 more LIT2330 and ENC1102.

Class was challenging, but learned a lot. Take her class if you are serious about your education!!

Prior to her class, I was scared to take her after reading the reviews. I have her currently and she is a pretty straight-forward professor in telling you what she wants. Fair grader - you will get the grade you deserve. Makes you write a lot of essays, but all prof. do. Offers extra credit. And you can get an A on the essays, I received 2 out of 4

Nice teacher, some extra credit given. This is an easy class if you know basic English. Essentially, you learn to write essays. If you complete all of the assignments and try your best on the writing assignments you will do well.

Wake up boys and girls your not in Kansas anymore! If you think you can just slide through on your good looks, don?t take her. Then you?re not doing yourself any justice. If you?re serious about your education, I highly recommend her! Go to class, don?t be late, read your assignments, turn in your work, learn from your mistakes. She is an ama

Assigned a book a week. Had quizzes over the books. Had to write essays. A few other homework assignments. She offered extra credit and is a really nice helpful teacher. Had a lot of discussion in class. Make sure you participate because it is part of your grade. If you enjoy reading, take this class. I really enjoyed the class and the teacher also

Lets you know upfront what she expects, which seemed like a lot at first, but all essays worked up to final research paper.Attendance is a must. Tried to keep class engaged.

Very straight foward prof. lets you know upfront what she expects. Show up to class on time every day and turn in all assignments on time. Ask for help if needed.

Unlike many, I think Mrs. Sands was awesome! She straight forward about what she wants and is very helpful.I have never seen a teacher that takes so much time to educate her students.

If you are going to criticize an english professor and complain about the class, at least use correct spelling and grammar. No wonder many of you had a difficult time. I also saw a comment about how the class limits creativity. It's not a creative writing class. Simple as that. I received an "A" in her class during the Fall '10 semester.

I dont understand why so many people disliked her. I thought her class was not difficult at all and easy to pass. Shes a nice person and shes fair. Overall, I have no real complaints.

I had her for summer school, with everyday attendance. Quizzes are given promptly on Mondays-read the material! Alot to cover, we flew over it. Her essay set up lead you right into the final term paper. She missed a day as her husband had surgery that didn't go perfect. I'd take another class with her anytime. Do the work assigned, and you're fine.

Awesome instructor. Not much else to say.

Mrs. Sands is very nice. BUT she is a ridiculously HARD grader. The way she grades papers is insane. Unless you are fresh out of high school OR your major is literature get ready for a very difficult semester. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT!!! You're going to need it. Hard course, awesome professor. :)

I had Mrs. Sands for ENC1102 and Chldrns Lit. She is a very hard essay grader, but if you follow her rubric you will do well. She is available to help as needed. I loved the open forum we had regularly in her class also. She offers extra credit, which I suggest you take. My final grade was an 'A'.

I personally didn't like her as a professor. I felt like compared to a lot of other people I know who are taking the same class with a different professor, we did a lot of pointless essays, and we had to have meetings with her and a LOT of assignments. Working full time+this professor = not a good idea. I got a D. I am now retaking this class.

Not a cakewalk, as some might expect, but it's certainly a doable class. The reading material is much more interesting than most lit classes, and a lot of the classwork is based around discussion. There are few reminders about upcoming assignments, so be sure to stay on top of those. Take advantage of extra credit opportunities and you'll be fine.

I really enjoyed Professor Sands's class. A lot of people may say there is a lot of work but there really isn't. Just keep up with the readings and be sure to journal them. I also loved the in class discussions. Overall, just a really, really nice woman.

OMG, at first I thought this class was going to be hard but it's not. You have 3 essays 600 words, 6 short essays 250 words, and journals that she just gives you correct for if you do them. You will have a 5 question quiz in the beginning of class very easy.

Awesome professor! Most of her lessons are recorded, so you can hear her lectures as if you were in a real class, not an online one. I don’t understand these students that complain about the work- IT’S COLLEGE; it’s not supposed to be easy just because it’s online. If you’re not willing to do the work, what are you expecting, a free diploma?

A great professor. If i had to take an english comp class again i would take it with her!

Nice lady, has a few writing assessments; Nothing non expectant. Tough grader, so stick to the basics. Don't try to exceed your intellect. With that said she is a great teacher with low expectations, unlike other teachers.

Six 300 word writing assessments (single paragraph), all while writing three 650 word essays in between themes. Each class there is a quiz on the previous day's read; open class discussions. Follow the syllabus/a writers reference and be rewarded greatly. A great teacher, whom teaches well. Highly recommended for those willing to learn.

Amazing professor! Offers plenty of extra credit to help your grade at the end. Highly recommend taking her!

Mrs. Sands is a great teacher, she is very helpful. She explains all of her assignments in detail. If you don't understand something. She is always willing to explain anything. I would recommend anyone to take her class.

Mrs. Sands is an amazing teacher! She gives clear instructions and is willing to explain things to you if you need further explanation. She is a tough grader on tests but as long as you follow her instructions you should do well. A lot of work but easily done in a few hours and quite a bit of group work.

Mae Sands is a fairly good teacher. If you know English, good grammar, spelling and have an understanding about MLA. Then A+ won't be hard. ENC1101 Some assignments are unclear but she will help you. Just do the assignments and you got a good grade.

Professor Sands is a good teacher, quite a bit of work in the class but if you stay on top of it it is OK. My Labs was the only bad experience in this class. That software is not very clear for navigation. It was my only hindrance in the class. Learn it early, and stay on top of it.

Pretty laid back until you miss ONE of her classes. EMAIL her to reschedule ANY quizzes if you're going to miss class for ANY reason! Good syllabus. She does omit 2 quizzes & 1 assignment. 3 tests-- 1st being hardest due to literary terms & lots of reading. Final is questions from 3 tests only. Read the stories & take notes to do just fine

Really interactive lectures. Bases her class on conversation and always listens to the thoughts and opinions of students.

Great instructor who gives clear, honest feedback. She genuinely cares for her students. Will help out if she can.

This is my second time taking Professor Adams. Shes an awesome Professor! I've taken twice because I wasn't satisfied with my first grade, I didn't do the final exam. The course set up was very understandable and easily accessible. I HIGHLY recommend her. She gives good feedback and actually want ALL of her students to pass....( to be continued)

continued..... I will say participation is important. And as far as the textbook. You need it for some assignments and refer to for the quizzes. So you should definitely use the books (both of them).... This class is a light class. We have mini quizzes and journals each week. Sometimes you'll get a discussion post but its really nothing hard.

She was an amazing professor. Once one of my assignments showed that it was not submitted so I sent her a screenshot and she quickly changed my grade! She is very fair and cares about her students. She also has extra credit opportunities towards to the end of the semester.

Professor Sands is a great English Professor, I had her night class. I would want to take her class again but during the day. I could not concentrate that well at night so i felt a bit disconnected with the class. However she is always available to help.

I had Professor Sands for my ENC1101 class. The class was very well organized and easy to understand when and what assignments needed to be completed. I really like the topics she used to teach us. We did have about 5 papers overall to write and each one got a bit longer however, it was not anything too bad.

Professor Sands was fair. It felt like a lot of work for me but I also work a full time job and sometimes a part time job along with 4 kids. I caught Covid and also had an emergency surgery in the middle of this course so she waived my late penalties upon submitting proper documentation. Very thankful for that!

Hard grader but a really good teacher!!!! She ingages with her students which none of my teacher really do. I personally like her themes for the class, for college students I enjoyed having topics that challanged my thinking and mindset. Even though I try my best I'm sitting right at a B, but I do feel like I am learning how to actually write.

AMAZING PROFESSOR.
