Reviews of professor Amber Sanchez

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She's a good professor. I had her over summer session so there was a good amount of work, but if that's the only class your taking don't worry too much about it. Definitely go to office hours since those questions on online work do get somewhat tricky, and make sure to review past midterms since they look for key things when grading FRQ.

I had Dr. Sanchez for both PSC041 AND PSC151. Very clear and concise lectures and notes on fairly easy concepts to grasp, if you go to class the tests are an easy A!

I could not stress how much she reads off her slides. She will literally read 3 paragraphs directly off her slides with no summary. She is very slow to understand questions students are asking during the lecture and can only usually answer them by reading off the slides once again. Tests aren't terrible, but I would not recommend this class.

Interesting lectures, she provides good examples that students can easily relate to which helps with understanding concepts. Graded on hw + quizzes + EC + 3 tests & 1 optional final - tests based on everything covered in lecture + some textbook material. Overall cool teacher, she makes it clear what she expects from students. 13/10 would recommend

Very boring, but very easy. I went to class (clicker questions) and half way paid attention, and got an A. You get a 8.5x11 cheat sheet for the midterms. The only studying I did was making the cheat sheet (can even be typed) and tests were a breeze. If you do well on the weekly worksheets you will also do well on exams. Up to 2% EC available too

extremely boring class. Lecture consisted of clicker questions and usually 90 slides of content. Prof would just read off the slides which was very dry and easy to get distracted. Not necessarily hard content, but the written portion of exams and hw was graded hard. Three midterms and an optional final.

She wasn't a great lecturer. She didn't explain things too well and just read off the slides. The average for the class was lower than the other professor (Selmeczy). There's 8 worksheets and 1 gets dropped. Theres also 2% extra credit. you can have 1 cheat sheet for each midterm and 3 cheat sheets for the optional final.

Professor Sanchez was really great. Shes very nice and tries to keep lectures interesting. Theres a good amount of homework, but she provides a lot of help on the assignments, guiding you to the right answer. Plus the final is optional and is a make-up for one of your midterms in case you dont do well. Overall a really cool professor.
