Sandra Rocked!!! I liked her a lot. She's very personable, GO TO OFFICE HOURS!! better grade guaranteed! She's very reasonable and funny!

SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH a great class, and SUCH a great professor. Even if you're not an English major you should totally take this class. Sandra is the nicest professor and the most understanding and most willing to help professor that I have ever met. Lots of reading and tests. But so great!!

Great teacher!! Fun class. Very passionate and willing to help. She also tends to extend deadlines and cancel classes.

So many journal entrys...so many quizes...so mand long essays. I couldn't handle this class. The teacher seemed like she ment well, but it was reallt hard with many hours of homework.

Your writing will improve, but be prepared for the busy work of your life. She definately likes to put you on the spot. Also, it is very hard to attain an A, so be prepared for a B+ on everything. Major tip: always agree with her opinions or else your grade will suffer.

lots of works. But even if you are not good on your essays and quizs, show her you are doing so hard for that class (like going her office hours, always attending class, speak out many times), then you can get better grade!

Sandra rocks my socks, I'd take another class with her any day. My writing improved lots thanks to her class, and although we definitely had a load of work to do, you learn a ton. Just speak up, ask questions after class or during office hours, and you'll get a good grade. :)

Took her class over summer. I loved it. Fun projects, interesting material. She's now a mentor of mine. She's helped me immensely in my writing.

sandra rocks! yeah, she's tough, but you're in college now...deal with it! the readings were interesting and your writing will definately improve. also, speak up cause she loves anyone who'll speak out.

i learned so much from her.. she's tough, but really helpful

she is tough but you will learn so much from her, and she allows revisions so if you get a bad grade its your fault.

Sandra is awesome. She is a great professor who really knows what she's talking about. VERY hard, but will always give you the chance for success. Work hard and she'll know, slack off, and she'll know. VERY good class and you learn a lot. Put in hard work, learn and grow and you'll get an A. Very fair teacher.

I love this Professor!! At the beginning she seems a bit imtimidating, but if you work hard in her class and go in during her office hours she will love you! She is very good at letting you have a second chance and I could easily see that her main goal was to have her students succeed!I think she is one of the best professors at Sonoma State!

Excellent class with a real challenge to it. If you have ever been warned about university-level work, this is the class you will find it in. Feldman appears to take no prisoners, but if you need her advise, she will take her time to guide you. Contrary to popular belief, it IS possible to achieve an A in the class, but only with LOTS OF WORK!

Excellent class! Definitely recommend this class to anyone - a lot of course work, but very worth it. Sandra is a great teacher!!

She is an awesome english teacher. she is very fair and gives you exactly what she wants in the papers. She will help you with anything and is funny in class. Even the tests in class she lets you bring notes and gives you the subject in advance

I really enjoyed this class! I've never really been into english but I always found what she said to be very interesting! She really has a great sense of humor and although there are multiple essays, the homework load wasn't too bad. She has pretty high standards but as long as you work and participate every once in a while, you'll be fine.

OK, so I was auditing the class and didn't get an actual grade... However, I did learn a lot - not only writing a solidly cited essay, but also did a PowerPoint presentation, and researched two (relatively) straight-forward papers on FairTrade and Ocean pollution. Plan to take at least one upper division class with her in 2yrs.

This is college -- she expects college level papers. High School Honors classes are still high school classes. She expects more, and that helps you for other classes aka any upper division and/or GE classes that require writing. In the real world, you do have to suck up sometimes to get the upper hand. I didn't find that I had to though. Awesome.

If you go to class and read the short stories Feldman assigns you will be fine. The class essays are done by sections in the book. Feldman is understanding with late assigments or missed classes. Only a few papers and minimal reading (short stories). THis class is worth it. Just stay on top of the work and you'll be fine!

By far the best professor I have on this campus.She is super helpful and a sweet/caring person outside of class.Go to class,read the readings,keep up with journals, and soak up all the knowledge you gives you.Sometimes unclear but life is sometimes unclear to. Learn to deal with it.She doesn't just teach eng she teaches you life experiences.

So here is the truth. She is a sweet person. The class was hard for me because I'm not a good writer. Class is busy busy work so keep on track. Hard to get an A unless you are a freaking awesome writer. She is very helpful until the end and if you hate writing this is the wrong class for you. She really tries to help you become a good writer though

Awesome woman! She has a pretty tough workload, but if you listen to her she will set you up for sucess in her class. I really connected with her. We have a lot of the same views on politics, social government, and society. Very interesing opinion.

She tends to ridicule you if you use fillers.Cuts you off frequently and the essays should be easy so long as you check out the reserve copies.Start essays early on and stay on top of the readings and you'll be fine. Best time to talk to her is one on one. She may seem intimidating during class but she's very nice during her office hours.

Feldman legitimately destroyed my writing confidence...at first. To pass her class you must follow her syllabus be on top of your work. Essays are huge so make sure you take at ast 3-5 days to write. Her grading is extremely harsh but your writing will benefit.

One of the best english teachers I've ever had. She can come off as harsh or rude, but she just expects you to be on top of your work as a college student should be. She's really nice one and one and will really make your writing improve significantly! Just stick to the syllabus and have your work ready and on time. She knows what she's doing.

She is a hard teacher, but as long as you are professional and hard working, you will get something from this class. Sandra is a great teacher as long as your show initiative and pride in your work, she will help you get the grade you deserve. Do not say "like, um, uh, or any words along those lines. Also, sit up front in class :)

This is not an easy class, but is well worth it! There is a lot of work, but as long as you follow the syllabus and don't get too far behind, its not overwhelming. She seems harsh and intimidating, but if you go to her office hours she is very helpful and will tell you exactly what you need to do. Not an easy A, but you will become a better writer

Best English teacher I've ever had. In one semester, I learned more ways to write than I learned in all of school. She expects you to work hard and if you show that you are putting in the effort to do a good job, then she will help you. Don't be a slacker and you will succeed. Her office hours are really where most of the learning happen.

I personally loved Professor Feldman. I think the only people that wouldn't like her class are people who aren't willing to try. She is very clear about what she expects on all assignments and if you follow her directions you'll do well. She can be intimidating but she is actually really nice to talk to. I recommend her for those who want to learn.

Professor Feldman is very clear on her expectations for her students. People complain about her class because they don't follow her direction. You can do rewrites of essays, and she really does want you to succeed in her class. Utilize office hours and read the syllabus before asking questions! She gets irritated with those who don't listen.

I cannot wait for this class to end. Everytime she talks its like everyone in the class is in 2nd grade. Shes extremely helpful and a hard grader. Very liberal and I feel like most of her assignments are left sided. Theres homework every class, just a reading and analysis. The final 15 page essay is just a bullsht from the semesters readings.

I really enjoyed this class because Ms Feldman seemed interested in the subject and helped me grow as a writer. I agree that her topics are on the liberal side but she is a fair grader and will take her time helping you out. I felt the course was semi difficult as any Eng 1A class but if you do your journals you will be fine.

She is unorganized sometimes but is ready to help you anytime. Very easy to contact her. She gives a lot of work but if you stay on top of it, it isn't that bad. You can rewrite all of your essays for a better grade. Really wants to see her students improve their writing skills and just be an overall better person.

Sandra is always willing to help, giving you many resources to contact her from and other outside sources to improve your writing. Get ready to be writing all the time, every day. There are journals due everyday almost and essays are back to back, sometimes overlapping one another. It is a lot of work but if you keep up on it you'll be fine

Sandra is the funniest easiest English teacher I've ever had. As long as you get on her good side from the beginning, she will love you. But always do the drafts for her essays, with that you will always get am AB. I actually enjoy that class.

Sandra was a cool teacher, but she definitely makes you work. She believes that you can succeed if you put everything into it. I truely believe this was a hard class for a GE. Definitely keep up with the reading a journals because you use all of them on the final essay... and most importantly... DON'T PROCRASTINATE ON THE FINAL ESSAY!!

Show up to class and you're good. Also make sure to check your seawolf email at least 10 minutes before each class because the location of the class changes often and she will get mad if you're late. There is very little homework. All assignments are on the syllabus. If she knows you care about improving your writing she will grade easier on you.

I just finished my semester with Sandra and some of these reviews are very inaccurate. She is a wonderful teacher who only wants to help you grow as a writer. I loved every moment of this class and I can 100% say my writing has improved. The negative reviews clearly come from people who put in no effort. I highly recommend her :)

You get what you give for this class. Sandra is a tough teacher and can certainly fall into the stereotypical crazy english professor persona, but she does care about students succeeding. I have become a better writer because of her. I suggest writing down everything she says in discussion and meeting with her when her directions become unclear.

If you go to class and do the readings you'll do fine in this class. All assignments are on the syllabus. She leaves helpful feedback on your papers and is always willing to help. If you put effort into the assignments you'll get a good grade. My writing skills have improved tremendously because of this class. Best class I took my freshman year

I was shocked by the workload, took her my first semester of freshman year of college. My writing improved a lot, got a C- on the first paper but got As on everything by the middle/end of the semester. She can be a little condescending to students at times when they ask for help. The lectures and readings were all interesting.

There's a lot of work but it'd definitely doable. I got an A but I had to work for it. She may seem a little crazy but don't let this stop you from taking the class. She cares about her students. The class itself isn't difficult, 5 in class essays and the final is an essay that is assigned on the first day of class. 10/10 would recommend!

This class was difficult for me because I had never taken an AP or honors English before, so the workload seemed a bit intense compared to what I had normally been used to. I struggled, but as I continued to write more and more papers my writing seemed to improve dramatically. My papers would be filled with feedback but I learned the most from her.

sandra is such an amazing educator. she genuinely cares about the wellbeing of her students. be prepared for a lot of reading and writing. this class is a great foundation for future classes and makes you a more educated student overall. i recommend going to her office hours so she can get to know you and so she can give you amazing feedback.

I nearly cried when she picked apart my first essay, D+. If you figure out what she's looking for when grading you can get A's on all your essays. She's difficult but the skills you learn make all other writing assignments seem easy. it's like an investment. Take her if you want a challenge that pays off for the rest of college and beyond

Sandra is a very good instructor. A lot of essay assignments, but she always gives a chance to correct or fix your work. You are in control of your own grade, and if you make an effort (even 1 - 2 times) to go to her office hours, it will benefit you. Actually listen to her corrections and you should be fine. My writing improved a lot. Really nice!

This was the first college course where I really felt like I learned lifelong skills. Like any other class you get out what you put into it. You really have a chance to learn a lot from Sandra but it is definitely a very difficult course. You need to work very hard in order to pass the class but if you are dedicated you will learn a lot.

She's a good prof! She's one of the first who actually helped me grow with my writing. She says she assigns about 5 hours of work per week-but she doesn't. The homework load is pretty light considering its an online class. Zoom meetings are optional but she is available bale to call and do zooms 1 to 1 whenever you need it. DON'T BUY THE BOOK
