Reviews of professor Michael Sanders

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
There's a lot of reading for this class and the lectures are pretty fast-paced so remember to take a lot of notes and you'll be fine. There is a fair amount of writing especially on the tests and the final paper, but he has clear outlines and is accessible outside of class. There is a group project so be prepared to go to a museum. Great prof tho!

Love this guy. Lectures could be boring at times but he's obviously passionate about the subject and wants his students to succeed. Grades based on two long papers, a couple quizzes, a midterm and a final. Easy grader; he gives study guides for the tests, and you can write any random detail you remember from class on the quizzes for extra credit.

Very passionate about subject. Conscientious of grading and "where the course is at". Often pretty funny. Makes participating very comfortable and constructive. Biggest drawback is the large course work. Many readings, quizzes, heavy tests, and projects -- all of which emphasize memorizing strongly -- IE requires doing most of the work and readings

Best professor I've had at Fordham, super accessible outside of class and very passionate ab the subject. No tests he instead gives 3 major projects/essays to complete. Keeps the topic interesting, grades fairly, also an overall understanding guy. Don't purchase the books, and don't stress about notes.

Best professor I've ever had in regards to how well he can teach the material in the class. Supplies all the readings, very humble, don't be shy to ask him ANYTHING, very humble gentleman. Thank you Professor Sanders!

He was overall a chill teacher as a person. But, expect a lot of work. This class consists of a mid-term, final, book review, museum assigmnet, and multiple map quizzes. Theres a lot of memorization. maybe like 50+ terms each test. and the map quizzes u gotta memorize 50 cities. Just so much writing. Dont take him.

Sanders is difficult to rate. He really cares about his students and wants them to do well. He's passionate about (medieval) history and the liberal arts. However, assigns a lot of work. 2 big (hard) papers due right at midterm/final week. Midterm/final have clear study guides but give too much info for what's tested on. But a really nice grader.

Take him you will not regret. Participation matters. Don't waste your time taking notes.

Lectures/readings for every class. Grades based on quizzes (easy and no pop quizzes) 2 papers, midterm/final. The midterm/final is partially in class, a take home essay and gives you the essay questions before. Not a hard A if you put in some work! interested in what he's teaching, great teacher, gives feedback on papers if you go to him. Take him!

He is so sweet and passionate. Lectures get boring but I never payed attention and did the bare minimum and got an A. Take him!
