Reviews of professor Sandra Lim

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Sandra is one of the nicest and most caring profs. She is very understanding & will extend deadlines to help students. Only take this course if you are good at writing essays. 1 essay is worth 70% of your grade & the other 30% is from 4 bi-monthly quizzes. The movies we watched were Life of Pi, Black Panther, Parasite, & Rhymes for Young Ghoul.

Super accommodating, flexible on deadlines, and sweet, don't underestimate the class too much but easy lower liberal. bunch of online open-book take-home quizzes, she dropped the lowest mark. 2 papers, no exam this year but she has in previous ones, gives feedback and help if you ask.

Her lectures were straight forward and she taught the material well. As long as you look over the notes/lectures she posts and watch the movies covered in class you should be fine. All the quizzes are also open book and online so its not very hard and the exam was super easy. I had friends who took the other prof and their content was way harder

Dr. Lim incorporates the textbook and extra readings into her own lectures; she makes sure the quizzes and exam questions are not unfamiliar. All her notes/lectures are well-written and concise. Don't worry if you haven't done the required readings as long as you study her notes/slides. She's an easy-going and very caring person; a great professor.

2 essays and you can drop one for the better one. 7 quizzes and will dropped the lowest scoring one. Lenient with late essay too.

I thought it'd be a walk in the park but spoiler alert it wasn't. The class itself is not difficult; you watch about 5 major films, do one group assignment and two independent projects. Something irritating is that she keeps low word-limits but marks you poorly if you don't analyze enough. Monotone lectures put you to sleep in the morning though.

Eh, not difficult at all but didn't really learn too much from the course. Marks a bit difficult but her quizzes make up for it.

Very accommodating professor, but if you're not into writing essays, do not take POL 128! If you are, the class is very interesting and there is a lot of freedom on essay choice and topic. Her lectures are easily understandable and she is overall very fun and engaging. We had two major essays to write, with the lowest score being dropped.

I really enjoyed taking this class with her. The workload is super light, 2 essays (1 is optional) and 5 mc quizzes. Shes very accommodating and generous with extra time. The movies she chose were also really good and fun to analyze!
