nice teacher....really helpful..but hard markers..*yikes*

She is nice and friendly.. though she mark quite hard

she is a nice teacher, but she marks quiet strict!

Her classes were very interesting. I never got bored in her classes. She understood international students well. She knew common writing english errors that non-native English speakers have. She marks very strict but i know that is for students.

She is really a nice person..I liked her class..not boring...She always tells students what she wants..but still hard to get marks..Don't skip her class!! She doesn't like it!! and try to make her like you!!

I like her as much as I like David Beckham.GOD Bless.

She explains things throughoutly and clearly. Also, she is very encouraging, helpful and patient with students. She tells students exactly what she wants on a paper. Take her classes and I promise that you will get good marks!!

Very approachable prof is you need help. She is a fair marker. A fair amount of reading is required and a knowledge of literature is a must.

the teacher is ok, but easy. Every essay you can write at home and then just copy in class, she will never see, you will know the topic of essays a week before so you can practice.

very good teacher,she knows how to teach international students. a little bit hard marker,but it's ok. whatever, study hard, because it's difficult to pass 1107!

Take it from someone who is not an ESL student, Sandra was a good teacher and a fair marker. She picked interesting works to study, and the work load wasn't too bad although there was a lot of readings.

Very good teacher. Fair marker if you have a basic grasp of the english language. Funny, dry humour.

great instructor, but a hard marker, even harder to get a "s".

She is excellent teacher,she also pays close attention of your grammar, But if you work hard on your essays you will survive, other wise you will be disappointed with your marks. She is fair, and she posses excellent skills in teaching english.

Sandra is a good, not a hard.. i repeat.. not a difficult teacher!

Sandra is a great teacher. Seems difficult, but the marks are high in the end. Very knowledgeable of Latin American Literature. Strongly Recommended.

If you can write a decent essay you will do fine. She is kind and does try to make it interesting. If you are an ESL student you may find this hard but the next course will be harder so get used to it.

Easiest course I've taken, by far. Doesn't really know what she's talking about half the time. Treats students like we're still in elementary school, therefore it's very easy. Never did well in English until this course, highly recommend if you're looking for ease.

shes not as bad as people say on here, just try to have a sense of humour about covering "cages" pretty much for the entire class. seriously by the end of the class you will hope the author is drowning in a prehistoric tarpit somewhere.

Excellent teaching skills. Funny. Intelligent..Her classes are interesting if people involve themselves in discussion. Like everyone says though, she marks pretty low 4-7/10 on average. Its heartbreaking.

So-so. Nice enough. A little bored by her presentation of the content and a lot of the work itself. Relatively easy marker, though. For a first year prof, not bad especially if english isn't your focus. If it is, try for someone a little more dynamic.

likes group discussions, thats what we did all semester. pretty easy marker. 2inclass essays(10%each) 1revision(15%) 1in class summary(10) 1term paper (MLA 20%) and final (25%) + participation (10%)

Her lectures are light and straight-forward, and goes at a slow pace. It might get awkard when discussions are neglected. She is a difficult marker, that is just an opinion BUT her scoring system is lowered as well so it all balances out.

She's very clear on what she wants. Just do what asks and u'll get an A. Upon completion of ur essay, just show it to her and she'll tell u what to change then u get an A. Highly recommended.

I feel she's a good teacher, however, DO NOT skip her class AT ALL. As long as you do this, she's really nice. Some of the materials are really dry and boring but useful. Her midterm was easy and she always tells us what she wants in the essays and tells us the topic a week in advance. Good teacher overall.

Sandra is a decent prof. She is reasonable in her marking and will focus on teaching what the class struggles with. In her class, there is one research paper to write. I found that her 1121 course was helpful in preparing me for 1127.

The best English teacher I've ever had. She tells everyone from the beginning what she expects from students. Very easy-going and helpful.Just never skip her classes and do all homework.Her classes are not boring too.Highly recommended!

She is a decent professor but you MUST show up to every class. If you don't you will get onto her bad side. In-class discussions make up most of every class and as long as you contribute (anything, you will be sure to get a good mark. She expects you to remember your stuff from previous english courses, so she overlooks many "obvious" mistakes.

Sandra is amazing! She is strick about attendence but that's for your own good. If you attend all her classes, you'll do well. Very clear about her expectations and very vair marker. If you want to make your life easier, please take her. For the first time in my life I can say that I liked an English course!

She is amazing!... Her readings are not too long!

Sandra is a great prof! She makes it pretty easy. She gives you the answers to quizzes and tests beforehand so just attend the lectures and you`ll ace the class(attendance is mandatory and if you skip a lot you`ll end up on her bad list) Lectures are mostly just class discussions but no participation marks, easy marker with easy projects and papers

Sandra was such a great prof! Very helpful, clear. You can tell that she wants you to succeed. Yet coming from someone who simply adores English, her selections are very interesting and link together quite well. As long as you keep up with readings, you are completely fine! Her assignments are fair, and I have always felt prepared.

Funny sense of humour, which keeps things interesting. Very clear about assignments and a very fair marker. Most English teachers are so hard on your work, but she is not. However she still gives some constructive criticism to help you improve. My only qualm was that she takes a little too long to mark assignments.

She is a great teacher and a fair marker. Make sure you attend all classes and watch your grammar and you'll do fine!

Best English teacher I had. Her marking is hard in the beginning but get easier later on the term. Term grade is out of 105% which gives you bonus marks. Make sure you attend all classes and participate and you'll do fine

Sandra was great. Really warmed up to her as the term progressed. Fair/easy marker and tons of opportunities to increase your grade. Didn't have to go out of my way for the A, but be sure to attend classes. Don't give her sass - she'll rip you apart.

She was very interesting. I gave her a 3 for clarity, but if you raised your hand and asked her to explain something, she would do it without sounding condescending. Good Feedback. One of those teachers that really want you to succeed :)

First english class that caught my attention and interest. Slade was an engaging prof who incorporated sociological, psychological & historical themes into our readings which made studying literature fun! I really liked this class which (going into it I didnt like english classes) actually had me wanting to take more english classes! Great prof!

She's a great english prof and english is my most dreaded course. She is anti-tech, tho (no laptops/cellphones/tablets in class - don't buy an e-book for her class!) Not an easy marker but pretty fair. Must keep up with readings - lots of group work on the readings (I think this is a good thing.) Not too much work. Don't get on her bad side, tho.

This course is designed well and is varied.Problems: "The doctrine of affections", don't buy it! Sandra is good at what she does, but she is moody and can be rude, also if you are a minority she can be biased.

I really enjoyed Sandra's class. She doesn't spend a lot of time trying to force students who don't care to care, which I like, and keeps discussions rolling amongst those who do. Fair marker, show up to all classes and you will be fine. Not the easiest class but completely manageable with some effort. (She has great style also)

Sandra was great. Initially I was not fond of her personality, but she really grew on me. Didn't put up with ppl who didn't care. pay attention, be polite, and you're golden. she was clear on her expectations for essays too. happy to get an A with Sandra

Sandra is so far the best prof I've ever had. Fair marker and very interesting lectures.

take her

She is an experienced professor and really knows how to teach. I've learned a lot of techniques to improve my writing. She may look strict first, but she is friendly and really helps you. Use her office hours too. Highly recommended!!

She is really a good teacher. She focuses on what you need to improve. I have no idea how is she in university transfer courses, but she is an excellent teacher for ESL students.

Classes are discussion-based, and Sandra finds the perfect balance between moderating discussions and encouraging student engagement. She rewards participation, and is always happy to help as long as you put in the effort. As the course is an academic writing prerequisite for a BA at UBC, be prepared to write at least five papers. Great prof.

easiest college english course I ever taken! I'm so glad I took her. I usually get a C+/B grade in english, and with Slade I got an A-! If you see an online english course with her, I REALLY RECOMMEND IT!! Her readings are interesting and she gives you a lot of time to do the assignments. GPA booster for sure.

You should take her for 1127, she is the best!

Best English Prof. I usually am not the best at English, but this class was terrific; she incorporated sociological, psychological & historical themes into our readings. She focuses on what you need to improve and is a great grader. Best English Prof ever, I hope to retake her.

Literally the best English teacher I've ever had

5 papers, and she gives you good feedbacks. Take her

Great Prof! I would have taken her English 1100 class if she had taught it. very helpful and useful.

Sandra was a great professor for teaching academic writing. While all of her assignments and homework were done on paper and nothing online, she offers very clear and helpful feedback on which areas to improve on for each assignment. Participation is a big component for her class so make sure to show up and do the work on time!

she is really good professor.

She was very helpful to me as she reached out to me personally to see if I needed any extra help. I found her to be pretty lenient. The only con about the class is she only does paper handouts and hardly ever posts on Brightspace. There were a lot of handouts so its important to be organized. If you show her you care, she will help you.
