Reviews of professor Meghan Sindelar

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr Sindelar can come across a little scatterbrained, but she is truly a great professor. She really cares about her students and you can tell she knows what she's talking about, but she never made me feel stupid. The class seems a little heavy for an online lab, but I learned/reviewed a lot and it was super fun once I got further into the semester

Took Soil Resources online (crosslisted AGRO/HORT) with herit was great not having to attend two separate classes every week, & the "lab" assignments were super easy. She held online office hours & was super helpful, patient, & nice. Gave us lots to do (weekly videos, readings, & discussions) but lots of ex. credit too. DO THE PRACTICE EXAMS.

Dr. Sindelar is knowledgeable and passionate about her work. She is very willing to help students who demonstrate a desire to understand course material. Being focused and engaged in her class goes a very long way where grades are concerned.

Dr. Sindelar has a mindset of: "I'm an expert in this field, so you should also be an expert in this field." I feel like there is a good amount of very base-level material she skips over at the beginning of the semester. For somebody with no experience in soil resources or plant science, this can be frustrating. She can be difficult to talk to.

The plant science lab is a TON of homework for a 1 credit class. I have never taken a lab, especially a level-100 where you have to do so much. She is not very welcoming to her students. Oftentimes we would be told during group discussions to "hurry up because I have places to be", or she would get on us when we weren't understanding a question.

Can be quite rude to students and staff. It would be a lot easier to just get help from TAs instead of asking for help, as she will low-key insult you when asking for help.

Great teacher, kind of hard but will learn a lot.
