It's the end of the class and we had to do a portfolio. It asks frequently what our grades are. She never graded a paper of mine with the exception of our first essay in September. I have no idea how I'm doing despite multiple attempts to get her to grade my work.

If you get her as your teacher drop the class or change professors. She won't grade your stuff no matter how much you ask her to. The amount of homework you will have to do will drive you mad(That she will refuse to grade). Her class is extremely unorganized and chaotic. Will constantly humble brag about stuff she has done.

Lots of homework

Im writing this so you don't have to dread a whole semester. She IS the worst teacher I've ever had. All the reviews are correct. I didn't listen and I suffered. She doesn't know how to spell for an english teacher!?!?? She doesn't even know the difference between yours and you're. She grades horribly, she doesnt even read and gives you C's anyways

I was dropped by her without even knowing. I was unable to turn in an essay because the prompt needed to be approved by her before it was made available to you. I emailed her multiple times and received no response and then was withdrawn from the class. Many assignments with no clear answer. Waste of time.

I have a degree in Communications and I have been a technical writer for 25 years. I have to take this class in order to get into nursing school. I wish I had checked Rate My Professor before I picked this class and Ms. Sabir as instructor. In the first two weeks she graded none of my papers. The assignments showed her activism more than anything.

Sabir Wanda is a very tough grader. She also doesn't very often check the work unless something is missing and immediately gives you a zero and no partial credit. She's also very distant from the class. Her work is kind of lazy and unorganized and only very few people are attending to it because of this.

Skip class? You won't pass.

This Professor is the worst one can pick, if you need this class and she is the last one dont be like me AND IGNORE all the other comments thinking its just them. I literally got an F after doing so much work. At least deserved a C. I took another English class and passed with flying colors!
