best professor ever! she was my first college professor and i couldnt have wished for any one else!! she is very funny and cares about her students. She teaches very well and does alot of group things. The course work is easy as long as you show up and do the work you will get a A
All around great person and a great teacher. The class definitely opened my eyes to how easy it is to succeed in the class room and the real world. Professor Demauro puts things into a perspective that is easy to understand. She keeps everything energetic and interactive and its an all around great environment! I highly recommend her as your profes
I loved that class. she is the best teacher ever, we barely get test except quizzes which a super easy. We did a lot of group activities and she also talks a lot about her two daughters. she's so much fun. I loved her class
Really nice and funny, she really knows what she's doing and cares about every student. Hands down the best professor that I've ever had.
Professor Demauro is the best teacher! She's very helpful and care for her students. Do yourself a big favor and start out college taking this amazing professor. You will never find anyone like her. She makes her class interesting, and you'll always hear her stories about her twin daughters. Overall, she's the BEST!
Mrs. D is the bomb.. She is down to earth and well rounded just like every professor should be. She will give you assignments that might seem useless to begin with, but they are really helpful.. They say time always fly when your having fun and that is exactly what happens every class with her.
Sandy is the most kind-hearted and inspirational teacher you'll take for an intro to college class! There are plenty of activities throughout the semester, and she truly makes you want to learn and participate. Show up to class and you'll pass! I love her and I'm so glad I took her! Choose her and you won't regret it I promise!
Summer A Term... Amazing class only because shes a fantastic teacher!!!! All the assignments are easy and her lectures are very interactive. I wish she could be my teacher for the rest of my college experience.
She is awesome! Highly recommend. If you can talk to other people, you will have and awesome time. Her in class assignments are SO much fun. She loves talking about her family and always keeps things real with you. There is no doubt this is the professed to take!
The class was very easy and she made it kinda fun. She can come off rude sometimes and loves to talk about her past and family.
one of my favorite teachers, she's awesome. easy class but obviously you have to do the work she assigns if you want a good grade. the hw isn't hard so just do it on time. highly recommend this teacher!!!! you only need the book because of the online code
THE BEST SLS1501 teacher! Makes class interesting and fun. Only had two tests and extra credit opportunities. Basically just get your work done and be on time for presentations you'll surely get an A.
Amazing, do your self a favor and take this women! Do your work and your good to go!
Amazing, do your self a favor and take this women!
Very easy. Take this sls class
Prof. Sandy is a great teacher!! She is sweet and friendly. I took her for summer so i had to do a paper each week however its pretty easy. The class will help you a lot through your FYE in college, take it first!!
Great professor, really cares that you know about all the resources on campus, You don't need the book its online.
Excellent Professor!!
My first day she has been so sweet how she talks about her daughters & her awesome son as well. I'm very pumped to start this semester being in her class !!
This professor is amazing and I really enjoyed taking her class. She is positive and upbeat and a great class to start your day. She is great at using experiences to help students understand material. It's also great how she can make the whole class engaged in topics. Nothing but a positive experience.
I took this class as a half hybrid, which I didn't regret because all assignments were posted online and easy to see and comprehend. In class time was spent talking and doing activities in groups. She often used candy to get all of us to participate, and pump up the enthusiasm. She's a great teacher for incoming students.
She is a great teacher. She is funny and nice. She does games sometimes to help us understand the material better. You only need to buy the book for the connect access code if you have her for hybrid. Take her. You won't regret it.
Fun course. Take notes! Don't miss class. Easy A
It was the first class I took in college, and I loved the experience. Everything was well taught and so clear; I wished she could teach other classes, especially the hard subjects because I know for a fact that she would find a way to make it easy.
VERY ENJOYABLE CLASS, MAKES IT FUN FOR ALL HER STUDENTS
She was the sweetest teacher ever. She always understood if you had a issue that needed to be taken care of, she would let you do make ups, but with a reason. Just show up and do the little work and you will get an A.
Even as a hybrid course, she was very available, made class fun, had clear cut assignments and expectations, and truly truly cares. She reads all papers and gives actual feedback, and lets you get personal with her, and she does back. I absolutely loved her, and this class! Honestly, best class I've ever taken, and best professor I've ever had.
By far the best SLS teacher at PBS. She truly cares about each of her students and makes class so easy and fun. Super easy going and laid back. Getting an A in the class was a cake walk. She is very understanding if you can't attend a class (with a given reason) and wants to see her students growth progress! Wish I could take her again.
Best sls professor you can take at pbsc ! She's very funny , caring & her classwork is very inspirational as far as life lessons ! Need the book for connect but classwork down to the tests are a piece of cake . Took her in the fall semester of 2016 my freshman year & I would take her again if need! Love Her Daughters & Son ! Highly Recommend
She's all about the students in her classes, if you have a problem, you have to let her know. She will try to accommodate to your problem so you're able to complete work on time. She wants you to express your true self in class. This is SLS, it is not Biochemistry 3 plus lab, don't expect much of a challenge, but be prepared to do bookwork online.
One of the best professors, every class she has a do an activity which relates to her lectures, assignments super easy. I find myself enjoying going to this class, 10/10 recommend
One of the best professors that I have. I wish there was an SLS part 2 because I'd definitely take her.
One of the best professor I've ever had. She's recommended to take for SLS. She cares about her students and you're performance of the class
Great teacher, makes the classroom environment really relaxing and easy to talk in. She tells you everything on the quizzes, the class before.
She is the most amazing professor ever! I loved her class and she truly cares about her students
She is THE SLS teacher to take. I had the pleasure of taking her SLS Honors class this semester and I don't regret it one bit. Her lectures can help you relate to real life experiences and she will prepare you for not only tests and quizzes, but also life in general!
Professor Demauro is the first ever professor I met in my college life and I am happy she was. Her class prepares you for college and gives you resources you can use in the future. lots of candy(And stories about her life) In her class participation is key. Do your learn smarts and check your blackboard daily!!!!
She is amazing. This class is very easy and she makes it even better by making the class fun. Participation matters but she finds ways to make everyone participate comfortably. Lots of candy and little games that go with the lessons. Do the classwork and homework and you'll be fine.
if you could make the perfect teacher, it would be her hands down.
Amazing professor!!!
She is EXCELLENT.
Warning, she is extremely strict and originally when I want on here she had a 3.7. Meaning someone is deleting her negative reviews or she is. Who knows. This is just to help any future students out there.
She is amazing, this one time I wasn't able to do the homework because I didn't have mindtap at the time. So I told her is there anything I can do and she told me that when I do get the textbook I need to tell her so that she can reopen the assignments up again. She's the goat I highly recommend.
Is a really fun class with her, I love the way she make us do academic games is so fun. Participation matters but is really comfortable talk in class. I can take SLS1501 with Professor Demauro 10 times more , she is really caring.
I took her in a hybrid class and she was amazing. As long as you do your work you should be fine! she's really caring she cares for her students. She does not accept late work at all. This class was am Easy A!
This professor was one of the sweetest people Ive ever met. She cares about all of her students and makes class fun. I learned a lot and I would recommend her to everyone!
Shes is the best professor ever. She has taught me so much throughout the semester. She truly cares about each one of her students & always helps out with anything! She has the biggest heart, & she teaches so well. I totally recommend 100%!!
She is amazing, she cares about your future. As long you do your work you will get an easy A. highly recommended professor Sandy
Definitely lives up to the hype, she made my first semester in college awesome. truly an amazing person and very quirky and funny. She loves to talk about her family (especially her son) and hobbies. would definitely take her again.
This class was really fun! She is very sweet,helpful,and prepares you for the college life. I took her honors so we had more work! But still an easy A just do your work!
She is very sweet. She genuinely cares about our success.
She is sooo amazing!! Love her class! Makes her lectures and fun for everyone no matter what your learning style is. She is super funny, respectful, understanding, caring/kind, generous and so much more if i could take this class 5 more times I would :). Theres no way you could fail her class!!
Professor Sandy is one of the nicest people I have ever met! She really cares about your success and wants you to do well in your academics. She has a sense of humor and really tries to connect with her students. She also has the class involved in a lot of group discussions and will have you try and talk with other students in the class.
Professor Demauro is amazing! She gives all the materials needed to make this course easier to manage, has a great sense of humor, makes the class really enjoyable by doing fun activities, and we learn a lot about how to be the best student we possibly can.
Professor Demauro, is extremely caring and helpful. I took the hybrid class which was extremely easy. She makes class fun and will put a smile on your face! I would 100% recommend taking her, dont look for another SLS1501 Professor, pick her!!
The EASIEST class you can possibly take and receive an A. Highly recommend it to anyone. Very clear with what she expects. The online assignments can be a drag but are easy. If you don't do the work, you won't get an A. Overall, TAKE HER!
Prof. Sandy is the absolute best SLS teacher totally would take her again easy A just do your work and show up (: , she is flexible you just need to talk to her
Professor Sandy is the perfect Student Life Skills teacher. She relates all of the concepts discussed in the textbook to real life and her lectures and PowerPoint's are packed with valuable information. This class is study-heavy and tests are subjective. Attend every class, keep up with the homework, and you'll have a good time.
Professor sandy is amazing. Her class is effortless, you just need to show up and pay attention. She is really caring and helpful. She will always be there if you need it and lets us engage in fun ways for ex: playing games, group work, fun worksheets. I took her hybrid class and it was super easy. Dont look for another SLS teacher, pick sandy!!
Professor Sandy made this class so amazing. SLS is a requirement, and I was afraid I would feel bored. She is always engaged with us. She makes It fun. I would give her a 10/10. Im going to miss her so much. She does require participation, so try to speak a bit each class, but other than that she is a gem.
Professor Sandy was an amazing teacher. She's really nice and she actually cares for her students. Make sure to participate in class. The only thing is that she doesn't accept late work but gives you enough time to do it.
She is very happy most of the time and you will enjoy her class! Classwork is very easy to manage since they consist of easy assignments. I would definitely recommend taking her class!
Professor Demauro is hands down one of the BEST professors you will ever have. She is so sweet and cares so much about her students. If you show up to class and stay on track with your work there's nothing to worry about. She makes lectures easy to understand and fun as well. If you're reading this, this is your sign to take her course!!
She is so outgoing and bubbly that her personality is life! Shes easy to talk to and if you do your work and show up you'll pass.!
there is so much homework weekly, if you turn 1 hw late, your grade will go down like a lot. No makeups. The tests have nothing to do with the lecture. just do not take her! there are other good professors to take.
Professor Sandy is so sweet. I love her she is so funny and really cares about your education. She is always available to answer any questions you might have about the college process or scheduling of classes. The class is easy, but pay attention. If you follow along you are sure to pass.
Absolutely the best teacher ever. She is so awesome and very kind. You have homework throughout the week all due on Sundays. She makes it very easy for you! I was in the honors college, and it was the best experience ever. 100% recommend her
Professor Sandy (this is how we referred to her) is really nice. This is the easiest class you will ever take in college. Be sure to just pay attention and turn in your work on time. The course is all about the individual success of a college student, so most of the material will be common sense.
the reason I pushed so hard in college. took her 2 years ago during the height of the pandemic and she made it work. informational, inspirational, and educational. charming. still requires work and grading. take her, you won't regret it.
Professor Sandy is such an amazing soul. She truly cares about each and every one of her students. Though this course is by far the easiest I have taken, you have to do the work to get the credit. The assignments are super easy and even fun. I will always recommend professor Sandy!
Prof. Sandy is just one of the sweetest people ever. Great professor with a very organized class. No quizzes and not too much homework. Mid-term and Final were very easy. Just participate and show up to class and you're set. Definitely recommend her class!
She is a Great Teacher. If your are focused in class and do you work by the due date, this class will literally be a breeze. Also, she is a fantastic teacher to keep in your corner if you ever need a letter of recommendation and just an all-around great professor who you feel actually cares.
Great prof . She is very understanding and will work with you . Text book is honestly not required because her power points are A1 and provide all of the necessary info for the exam ! She reviews before tests. She honestly is one in of the best teachers on campus . TAKE THIS CLASS YOU WONT REGRET IT ! She also gives extra credit !!!!
Had an absolute amazing experience with Professor DeMauro. She is a very understanding person who is eager to help her students. She's always posting extra credit if needed and gives very nice and informative feedback on all your work. If you get the chance to take her, do it!
Great Professor! I absolutely enjoyed taking her class, she gives extra credits and is just overall wonderful. This class was very easy, just make sure to stay on top of your work and turn them in on time. Very responsive, understanding, and such a sweetheart! Take her you will not regret it!
Professor Sandy is great! Attendance IS mandatory and she does NOT accept excuse notes from doctors, jobs, etc. You are allowed up to 5 days of absences for her class. After that, she will reduce participation points. There's a lot of collaboration in class, and she requires you to come out of your shell and speak to people near you in the class.
I had Professor Sandy as a hybrid class and did not do too many assignments weekly on McGraw-Hill. Provided mostly a lot of YouTube videos and ted talks to help with the topic. She was very helpful and caring; she doesn't accept late work but gives out lots of extra credit opportunities. Easy A!
This class is so easy! Bro take this class, so easy to get a credit!
Ms DeMauro is awesome and I'd take her again. Theres not much to say she had a lot of assignments but they were all easy and you could retake most of them. She is also quick to grade.
Such an easy class, the professor is kind and gives good and fast feedback. A little bit inconsistent with deadlines, but overall extremely easy A.
Professor Sandy was amazing. Most of her assignments are on CONNECT McGraw Hill and they're very easy.
Class was very easy. There is 3 discussion boards and 3 video assignments and the rest were McGrawHill assignments and 9ish quizzez. Most of the McGrawHill assignments are based on participation, not accuracy. You can take the quizzez 2 times. Discussion boards 100 word min. posts and 2 100 word min. replies. NO LATE WORK, lots of extra credit tho.
she's so sweet and made a big effort to communicate with all her students!! super easy extra credit. i wish she taught more classes so i could take her again
She's a sweetheart of a person who genuinely cares about you and helps you succeed at college.
Professor Sandy made a real impact on my life. Her Intro to College class helped me grow, not just as a student but as a person. She truly cares, listens, and encourages you to believe in yourself. Because of her, I feel more confident and ready for what's ahead. She's an amazing professor and a true inspiration.
Professor Sandy is amazing! I guarantee you this will be the easiest class you will ever take. She truly cares about her students and supports them. Her class taught me many valuable lessons that have helped me tremendously. Don't hesitate to take her class, you won't regret it.
Very easy assignments, interesting class and very helpful!
She was very nice and accommodating and all if not most of the work was easy and it is a very good first class to take and I recommend it for anyone starting out in college.
although i took her class as an online course, she honestly feels so caring through her feedback. id totally take her again and the work is SO easy. she gives u multiple extra credit opportunities throughout the semester and the work doesnt take too long. i 10/10 recommend professor sandy!
Her background in psychology brings a deep, meaningful perspective to the subject matter, and I often find myself still thinking about the topics we covered in class. Overall, Professor DeMauro's professionalism, expertise, and dedication to student learning made a huge impact on my experience. I would highly recommend any class she teaches.
Professor Sandy is super caring about all her students. She makes the class fun and interactive. Her work is super easy and she leaves good feedback in the comments of assignments. She doesn't accept late work, but she has so many opportunities to earn extra credit throughout the course. I would definitely take her class again!
Professor Sandy was the nicest and caring person. She really makes the class very welcoming. I had her for an express term and felt that everything was very easy. She also gives a lot of extra credit. Overall I would take her class again and recommend it to everyone.
Professor DeMauro's Honors Introduction to the College Experience class was amazing. As a high school student transitioning into college, I found the course extremely helpful in navigating my first semester. The weekly online assignments and reflective Journals were easy to complete. Finals at the end. I highly recommend taking her
She is awesome!! There are mainly discussion posts as the assignments, but allows for interaction and help from your peers. She is very understanding and genuinely wants the best for her students. Take her!!! Easy A.
