Reviews of professor Hannah Sande

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I took Prof Sande for an Ignatius Seminar about endangered languages. I found the course content to be very interesting, and addressed a lot of different linguistic and sociocultural issues. Grade is based on weekly P/F discussion posts or small reading summaries, and 2 papers which she gives A LOT of feedback. Great choice for improving writing.

Prof. Sande is a great professor and really nice! I learned a lot from taking her class, and it made me become more interested in Phonology, so I am really thankful for that! The workload was quite heavy at times, even though it was a foundational class, so that would be the one thing that I would change about it, but otherwise it was a nice class!

Hannah is a great professor! She has a talent for being able to take complicated topics and explain them clearly and concisely. Took her for typology, and loved the class  however, almost all of your grade will come from your individual research and not what you talk about in class, so your experience in the class will vary a lot based on that.

Dr. Sande was the most unreasonably difficult professor I've had in my academic career. HW in a class that requires Intro to Linguistics as a prerequisite shouldn't take > 2 hours & shouldn't require extensive research. If you need 215 wait for someone else to teach it. Her lectures are just copy paste from the textbook, but glad we had the TA.
