Reviews of professor Sandra Gabriele

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Never on time, always arrive 15 minutes late. No respect for other people's time. The instructions on eclass and what she says in class are totally different, which causes many confusion. Refused to show us any examples as it would deter us from using our ‘creativity'. Her critiques are either very vague, or extremely disrespectful.

Sandra is a great educator but her delivery can be quite harsh. Although I do believe she meant well in her critiques and wants us to do well - her inconsistent mood during the class was something that I struggled with as well as her "I don't knows". If we were in person I believe she would have been more helpful.

Out of all the classes I took this semester, hers is the worst and she is not suited to be teaching. She says her workload gets better as the years progress but she lies straight to your face and if you don't show up to a week of crits with the requirements she wants, she won't even look at your work. Highly consider switching profs if you can.

She yelled at me in front of the class for a minor confusion. We ended up getting to a screaming match. She was very promptly reported with support from my class.

Lots of homework and projects. She made us buy a lot of supplements but we didn't even use most of them. Not clear on what she means and is not helpful in critiques. Just avoid taking her classes if grades matter to you :(

While I agree Sandra can be overly critical at times, I'd argue that she deserves credit in other areas . Although heavy, her courses are well-structured with lessons that are relevant. Her harshness can be discouraging to some, but it can also push us to work harder. She's not a bad prof, but definitely could be more compassionate sometimes.

She has ruined my mental health since the beginning of the semester. She has no compassion/sympathy for her students and genuinely do not care about them. She'll tell you something is bad with your project AFTER it's already graded, instead of during the weeks of crits you had. Never seen a more unqualified professor. Considered dropping cuz of her

She is in no position to be teaching, completely out of touch with students and an absolute embarrassment to York University's design department. Does not provide any useful constructive criticism, when doing so with a vile and nasty attitude.

Really tough course with lots of homework, and she can definitively be pretty harsh at times. That being said, I don't think she deserves a 1. The lectures were organized, with a clear schedule, relevant lectures, and reached specific learning goals. However, she does need to address some of the needs of students and provide better accommodations.
