Reviews of professor Heather Sanderson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Dr. Sanderson is one of the best professors in ESS.  She cares deeply about student success and will make herself available if you communicate.  Students who do not show engagement in class or have issues with communication are not going to do well (but that's normal).  Pay attention and ask questions during or after lectures!!

She is the best! You do need to study but other than that as long as you pay attention you should be good!

I love Sanderson as a person, but she is not a good teacher. She isn't clear about due dates and assignment details, she just expects us to read her mind. Her test are way harder than they need to be, and the PowerPoints she uses to teach are so unorganized. She does NOT respond to emails or text at all, or she takes weeks to respond.

Sanderson is a very nice lady, but as some work to do with the way that she teaches. For every mistake you have in a paper it is minus 10 points and she is not always very specific for why she took points away. She also is never really clear on due dates for assignments.

make sure to study the ACE textbook and not just what she teaches off powerpoints, it doesn't cover a lot of what's on the ACE exam. Also, the exam reviews typically don't cover most of the exam content and aren't super helpful tbh, review on your own and it should be fine. definitely wasn't my favorite course but I've had worse
