Wonderful prof for Problem of God. Makes class fascinating. Not too much work, fair grader, fabulous class. One of my all-time favorites.

Take her for Problem of God

Very clear, interesting lectures. Great teacher. Take her class!

AWESOME, Not Difficut, interesting

AWESOME, INTERESTING, NICE, and EASY

Fun and interesting class and still extremely easy! Sanders is always willing to help out and clarify and test questions come DIRECTLY from class discussions. I definitely recommend her!

Sanders made prob. of god a piece of cake! I have ended this semester loving theology and confident about my first semester here.

Prof. Sanders is a fantastic teacher. She really made this class a lot of fun and I learned so much from her. The reading material was all good, but it's not a big deal if you can't get it done. I would highly recommend her for anything. She's also really helpful and a lot of fun to talk with.

Great prof. good class. nice lady

Good professor who presents a very balanced view of religion. There is a sufficient amount of readings with some papers and tests.

Awesome professor. she made a seemingly boring class more than bearable. papers are easy. Fair grader. before tests, she gives practice ones and for some reason many of the questions seem to be on the test the next day..

Prof. Sanders is awesome...such an interesting class. She is such a nice, fair person. Take her for problem of God!

professor sanders is a great teacher. i thought theology was going to be boring and tedious but classes are incredibly interesting- TAKE HER, you will be getting a good grade and really enjoy the subject.

Amazing! Sanders does a great job teaching this class- she makes it enjoyable and fair. The practice tests are a huge help. Only drawback is that she is very moody. But definitely take her for The Problem of God.

My favorite class at Georgetown. she is clear, easy and brilliant. Without a doubt, take her!! (make sure to put her class high on your priority when selecting- you're not the only one who wants it)

Great class.

Great Teacher. Reading makes the class a much better and informative experience, but it is not necesary on a day to day basis. This is a class I was sure would be a total bore, but it has turned out to be one of my two favorite classes this semester because of sanders.

Take her for POG. I did absolutely no reading. I bought one book just to use for quotes on one of the papers. She tells you everything that is in the reading the next day in class. Shes also real nice and the class discussion is actually pretty interesting.

my favorite class at georgetown this semester. knows her stuff so well and really interested in teaching her students. absolutely loved her...she's really there to help you and does all that she can so that you do well. i loved her and i loved her class...make sure you have her for problem of god

Prof Sanders' Theology class is absolutely amazing. Not only do you learn a lot, you are motivated to learn more. I never knew I would be interested in Theology. Everything I learned in this class was interesting and fun. She grades fairly, and as long as you read and go to class, you will do fine.

She's one of the best professors I have had so far. She makes the class interesting and leaves a lot of room for students to discuss their own opinions. Grading is easy, I studied an hour for each midterm and final and aced them. Two 5-page papers weren't that bad. She's a really great person and I highly suggest her!

Easily one of the best professors at Gtown. Had absolutely no interest in Theo prior, and she totally got me hooked. If you work hard and show a commitment, will do well. She is even willing to read the 1st page of your papers! Very accessible and wants you to do well. Don't leave Gtown w/o taking one of her classes!

Wonderful teacher! As long as you pay attention in class and do some of the reasdings you will do very well in this class! She gives study guides for quizzes and even reads drafts of the essays!

Prof. Sanders is a great teacher. Reading lengths are reasonable. Her expectations are very clear. She grades papers fairly easily. Clear lecturer. Definitely worth taking.

Sanders is an excellent teacher. Her expectations are very clear, and my interest in her lectures was incredible. 2 short papers and a take home final that were all graded fairly. She is a great person, and a breath of fresh air in the crazy theology dept.

Absolutely awesome. she is funny, intelligent, and has some original insights. I was not excited to take this class but it ended up being my favorite that semester

This class was absolutely amazing and only because of Professor Sanders. I was really not looking forward to this class, and I would now say that it was my favorite class this semester. Fair grader, not much work, but you should try and do most of the readings to keep up. Attendance is pretty strict as well, but you really won't want to miss class.

Her Problem of God class has been my favorite of the semester!! The work load is totally manageable (usually not more than 30 minutes of reading per night). Also, her quizzes are super easy because she tells you exactly what is going to be on them beforehand. Easy paper grader. I'd be surprised if there was a better Problem of God professor.

Sanders has been probably my favorite professor at Georgetown. She is interested in the subject and comes to class every day really prepared to lead discussions. Fair grader on tests and papers, if you do the reading. She explains tests well beforehand. Reading isn't all that bad (30 min/night). If you can take Sanders. I definitely recommend her!!

super nice, expectations are crystal clear. reading is totally manageable and the advance sheets for tests are really thorough. 2 papers / 2 tests/ final.

prof. sanders has made problem of god my favorite class this semester--the class is not that hard partly because there is little reading, partly because she explains and teaches everything well, and partly because the topics were interesting to me

Sanders likes to try and promote class discussions, but they are generally less interesting than the reading. Attendance is required.

Professor Sanders is by far one of the best professors. She is so helpful, she explains everything really well, and she makes it all really interesting. Definately take this class.

Great prof, class is super interesing with lots of good discussion. two papers, two quizzes (tells you exactly what will be on them), and a take home essay final. highly recommended. relatively easy and a great great class.

Very good class to take for theo requirement. Sanders is very clear, there is minimal work, and she's a fairly lenient grader. The class is all discussion, but there's no participation grade, so you can talk as much as you want without it affecting your grade. Overall, I would say it was a very easy and enjoyable class.

My favorite class of the semester-hands down. Attendance is mandatory, but lectures are interesting and engaging, so they're worth going to. Very straightforward tests, relatively easy grader on essays if you put thought into them.

great professor, turns dry topics into interesting discussions

She was great. You do have to go to class, which can be tough, but i found that when i got there i was usually really glad i went, because she made it interesting.

Taking this class changed my life. Six months later after reflecting on it again, it changed my life once more. I promise you that her class will be the class you look forward to attending every week. Study guides for the quizzes outline exactly what will be on them, and the papers are easy. But all that hardly matters compared to what you'll learn

POG-Awesome. One of my favorite teachers at Gtown. Her lectures are really interesting AND engaging. fun and super knowledgeable. Super interesting readings (you need to at least skim). 2 tests and 2 papers, all straightforward. Not the easiest grader, but not the hardest either. Not a ton of work, but again, not the easiest either. Love her!!!!

Professor Sanders is excellent. Her lectures are very interesting (especially the articles she brings in to serve as examples) and all of the topics make you wonder: "Huh...never thought of that." The readings are interesting, but sometimes hard...and she realizes that. So she makes her explanations very clear. Only complaint: tough paper grader.

She is the best Prof that i've had at georgetown so far. She is a very interesting professor who keeps assignments and classroom discussions fun. If you are thinking about doing theo as a major you really need to take Sanders, shes great. The best way I can describe her class is one where I learned the most with the least amount of work.

it is the perfect combination: it is easy but you learn a lot. she doesn't force her own beliefs on you, or even really tell you what they are. you end up learning so much. she gives three quizzes and a final test, and two papers. the quizzes are very easy if you study for a few hours. you'll get a b on the papers even if they suck

This is a teacher for someone who is not at all interested in theology but has to take the class. The class is taught like a history class. Most in class time is spent summarizizing a reading instead of actually talking about it. If you are interested in having great discussions, actually thinking, and learning a lot, don't take her.

After attending her POG class for a semester, I understood why her classes always fill up to the max limit every semester. She really tries to engage students in the class discussion and her way of presenting materials to students is very effective and clear. Don't need to read the assigned texts, just pay attention in class and you can get an A.

Honestly, just a wonderful professor. You can really tell that she is meant to teach. Previously I had no interest in theology, and now I'm thinking about a double major. I loved her and its really worth taking her class.

Fantastic professor and person. I had zero interest in THEO before taking the class and POG turned into one of my favorite classes of the semester. Not very much work either.

Professor Sanders is an excellent professor! I previously was only taking her class to fufill the gen ed but after her class I want to keep studying theology. Not too hard. Every class is exciting and flies by. An amazing teacher. Definitely take her!

My favorite class first semester of freshmen year. She is engaging, helpful, and funny. I looked forward to her class. The quizzes are pretty easy and she is a fair grader when it comes to essays. It's not too much work and she tries her best to make it interesting. I'm considering minoring in theology after taking her class. She's amazing!!! :D

Sanders is known to be one of the best POG professors. After taking her class, I think I know why. She makes theology, a subject not generally considered interesting, REALLY FUN! She makes you think about things you've never thought about before. Simply genuis, TAKE IF YOU CAN! Quizzes are easy, papers are a little harder but manageable.

Amazing Professor! Quizzes are easy, papers are a little harder but nothing unmanageable. She definitely makes everything very interesting. I had no interest in Theology but she actually made it interesting. Highly recommend!

This teacher is amazing for Problem of God! You must take this class if you have the chance!! She makes theology so interesting and really allows you to think deeply about some mind-boggling questions, helping you along the way. By far my favorite class this semester. There is some reading required and a few essays, but the quizes are pretty easy.

I can see why Prof. Sanders has such high ratings and I completely agree with them. Her lectures are very interesting and she does a great job at making it seem like she believes what all the philosophers she teaches say even though they have divergent opinions. The quizzes are straightforward but you have to study. Papers are harder, however.

Professor Sanders is absolutely amazing! The classes are engaging and effective so the mandatory attendance policy never feels like a burden. I learned a lot and this was my favorite class. The quizzes are easy if you use the study guides and papers are harder but fine if you put time and thought into them. I would definitely recommend taking her!

The best!

I really liked professor Sanders. Quizzes were easy as long as you studied and did the study guides. You have a lot of choice on paper topics but she definitely grades a lot harder. I think if she doesnt like your writing, she just doesn't and that will hurt your grade. I got a's on all the quizzes and still ended up with a b+.

Easy class, lenient grader, easy lectures. Designed for fulfilling the core requirement. Not the class for you if you want to get in-depth discussion or if theology is your field of interest. Covers a broad spectrum of theologists. Three quizzes, two papers, one final exam. All pretty easy.

Sanders is awesome. She is one of the most fair professors I have ever had. Her lectures are so interesting. She wants to engage her students and encourages discussion, but if no one offers she'll gladly keep lecturing. 3 Quizzes, 2 papers- very fair grading. Attendance mandatory -2 absences allowed and a 3rd you can make up for. Take her!

Prof. Sanders is da bomb. God's gift to Gtown. If you're going to take PoG, just take it with Prof. Sanders!

great teacher favorite one freshman year

A good teacher, friend, and person. Absolutely worth taking any of her courses because you will find someone willing to teach and learn.

The course is easy if you do some of the work. Attendance is mandatory, but I loved going to class. The reading isn't completely necessary, however most of it is interesting enough to want to do on your own. Sanders is awesome, so far my favorite teacher at georgetown by miles.

Very awesome. She picks interesting topics and explains them very well.

I personally did not like her at first because she seemed quite strict and seem to concentrate only on narrow-subjects related to christian-judeo texts. But, after a while, I really started to enjoy the class and she is actually a really nice person and a really good teacher!!

Sanders is the BEST. Problem of God is all about which professor you get. SHE IS THE BEST. Hands down. Lecture is very clear and concise…but it's barely even "lecture". She talks half of the time, while the other half is student led questions and comments. Keeps the class engaged. Awesome lady. Really cares about her students.

Sanders is an awesome professor. She is clear and truly knows what she is talking about. It doesn't even feel like you are in a "lecture." She only gives 3 exams and 2 papers and all are pretty straight forward. If you pay attention and take notes you will pass with flying colors.

She's a nice teacher. Class was somewhat interesting, but i only say that because I'm not super interested in theology. It's a very sought after class, and she's very straightforward with what she wants you to know on tests.

She is a great lecturer and truly knows what she is teaching. Her lectures are structured to present what theologians and other people have thought about religion (or lack of religion) and she lets the students form their own opinion. The readings are not necessary to read for class but they are necessary for the essays and the tests are easy.

One of the most inspiring, engaging, intelligent teachers I have ever had. Really cares about you and whether you understand the material. Be attentive and ask questions in class and she will do everything she possibly can to help you understand. I thought it was very easy, but a few kids did struggle. TAKE HER you will thank me.

Problem of God with Sanders made my freshman year. I don't even like theology, but I loved the class. There are readings for every class but they're not very long and can easily be sparknotesed. The tests are so easy because she gives you a study guide with everything that's gonna be on it. Papers a lil harder but fun to write. THERESA ROCKS!

SANDERS' LECTURES ARE EASY AND THOROUGH. SHE IS VERY CLEAR ABOUT WHAT IS GOING TO BE ON THE EXAMS. HOWEVER, SHE IS VERY PICKY WHEN IT COMES TO GRADING YOUR PAPERS. IF YOU'RE NOT A GREAT WRITER, OR CANNOT DEFEND YOUR TOPIC WELL HER OPINION WILL REFLECT ON YOUR GRADE.

Take Sanders! She gives a study guide before every test that says exactly what will be on the it, so it's super easy if you study. The papers require more work, and she's kind of a picky grader. She will look over the first page of your draft, so take advantage of that- it helps. Overall classes/readings were interesting. I highly recommend her!

Professor Sanders is by far the best professor I've had at Georgetown. She is so clear on what she expects from students. There are 8 "pop" quizzes on reading that she tells you about every time. 2 tests that she gives very specific review sheets for, and 2 papers which she gives feedback on drafts for. Definitely take this class!!

Professor Sanders is the bomb. Believe every good review here. She's engaging and treats her students with respect. Her lectures and course work are very interesting, and have caused me to even have epiphanies about my own religious beliefs. Be prepared to read, but it isn't a burden. Her classes have a long waitlist for a reason -- SHE'S THE BEST!

I wish I could submit a thousand reviews on professor sanders. Amazing feedback. Amazing lectures, amazing class. She truly cares about her students and wants you to succeed. Easy and lifechanging class.

Professor Sanders is so amazing. She is extremely well-prepared and her lectures are so engaging. She gives small pop quizzes but she will let you know when you're going to have them and whats on them. She provides study guides for each tests and you choose your own paper topics. Can't go wrong with Sanders!

I listened to the reviews and took Problem of God. Loved it! Loved Professor Sanders. She's not a tough grader, and she likes to listen to everyone's opinion in discussions. People definitely got away without reading, but I found most of the books interesting and worthwhile. Highly recommend! Good luck

Believe every good review here! Sanders is a thoughtful and engaging professor; there's no participation grade, but she genuinely wants to know what students think about each reading. She gives study guides for tests/finals and total freedom in choosing paper topics. This class was interesting, stress-free, and the highlight of my first semester.

This is a professor with an amazing ability to give lectures. She is a really good lecturer, but not so much of a one-on-one person and can kind of come off as cold. For papers, you should follow the guidelines she gives you beforehand. If you want a good grade on them, try to come up with a unique topic. Tests are easy. Overall good class

Fantastic POG prof. Always well prepared for class and very knowledgeable about her field. Strict attendance policy, so beware if you like to skip class. Would certainly recommend to any incoming student or anyone who wants to take POG.

Prof Sanders gives good lectures! Readings are "required" but you can get through without doing them! It's really clear what you are graded on, but her essay grading is sometimes a little questionable. Don't miss, she takes attendance at the beginning of every class! Overall, a pretty easy class.

Take this class. Sanders is a balanced, insightful professor with great lectures. Readings were actually interesting, so do them. Essay topics are wide open, so you can really do whatever you would like and/or are most interested in. Tests are regurgitations of class material straight from a detailed study guide. Can't praise Sanders enough.

Prof. Sanders is great! She is easily accessible to ask questions and receive feedback on your papers. I would say to do the readings as they do help you write your papers and take the exams. Also, she has taught this class so many times she is excellent at explaining what she's teaching to almost any student.

I began my education at Georgetown in a class taught by Dr. Sanders. She is the embodiment of Georgetown excellence, in fact, first among equals in one of Georgetown's preeminent departments. If you want to graduate with the promise of high scholarship, take any course she teaches.

She is a great prof. Easy to get A's on the tests because the test is pretty much the review. The paper is what kinda decides whether you have an A or B+.

She gives small assignments that are due every class, but theyre super manageable. Shes really nice, and shes gives precise feedback. She also makes some good jokes. Best PoG teacher ever!

Light workload, she sums up the readings every day in class, you don't need to participate and she is really good at lecturing. This class always fills up quickly but if you're in the first registration slot definitely take her.

Prof. Sanders is one of the best POG profs. You have 100 word hw's due each day in class based on readings you don't have to read all the way thru, & the tests are super easy because the questions are straight from the study guide. She is a very picky paper grader, which can easily drop u from A to A- or B+. Pick a unique topic & go to office hours

One of the best educators I've ever had. Her understanding of the subject is deep and she has great answers to questions. Make sure you go to class because attendance is mandatory and strictly enforced. Tests are really easy as long as you fill out the study guide but papers are graded really tough and make up a large part of your grade.

Professor Sanders is amazing! Absolutely the best choice for Problem of God!

exams are easy, just review the study questions beforehand. 2 papers make up 60% of your grade but no matter how dog it is, you will most likely get a B-. She takes attendance so show up. Make sure to do 14 posts out of the 25 chances throughout the semester cuz they do count. Do the first 14 so you don't have to worry about it again.

Super engaging lecturer: funny, knowledgeable, and breaks down concepts easily. Tests are a piece of cake if you do the study guide (she tells you EXACTLY what will be on them). Follow her instructions on papers and you'll get an A. Class discussions are really interesting and she clearly cares about and considers what students have to say.

A very good professor who takes her course material very seriously. Her classes are very discussion based, and she assigns a very fair amount of homework and reading.

I took the online intensive August session of Problem of God and she was able to make the 2 hour lectures interesting every single time. Make sure you do the readings! Such a kind lady - she obviously cares about her students and will give you so many opportunities to succeed in class. The best choice for Problem of God.

This class is the best option for PoG. She is so accommodating and has clear expectations. There is a fair amount of reading, but you can get away with skipping some since she explains the key points in class. Tests are not hard, but she is critical of your writing. You get what you put in and she covers many religions. Take her if you can!

I had Prof. Sanders for the August Intensive POG session and she was great. As a more STEM focused person, I think her lectures were pretty engaging and interesting. She's a pretty fair grader however, your class grade relies heavily on the 2 papers + final. Overall great pick for POG though :)

Actually my favorite class at Georgetown. I've never been a religious person and this class really opened my eyes to different ways of thinking. There really could not be a better professor for Problem of God. I would highly, highly recommend it. If you don't even go to Georgetown, audit this class -- you will learn so much.
