Reviews of professor Sandra Muse-Issacs

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
She is polarizing to say the least. Some enjoy her classes, but I do not share the same opinion. She cancelled eight classes, shamed us for doing poorly on the midterm, and spent most of the time going on about her own life rather than the material. I don't understand how some say she is inspirational, she was so rude. I would avoid her classes.

She changed me as a person. I didn't know very much about Indigenous affairs at all before taking this class. I left every class very emotional. I grew as a person by taking her class and I wish every other course was like this one. I feel empowered whenever she speaks. She is an excellent prof.

The most unorganized prof I have ever had. She also must not think we have four other classes in a semester as she made read many novels, as well as write 6+ essays, have a midterm (that she gave no indication to what would be on it), & overall had zero grading criteria. Extremely rude at office hours to myself and classmates. SO UNFAIR!!

Dr. Muse changed my life to put it lightly. Her perspective is invaluable, and most of all she remembers you are a human. She's more than accessible via email and her office hours. She's one of the best things about the English Department, and University in general. There is a lot of readings, and you have to keep up, but it's more than worth it.

great teacher! was always happy to help, gave me lots of support. attending classes is a must, lectures are important to tests and assignments, and participation is graded, but she engages with students who are willing. I had trouble, and my participation grade was bad, but I talked to her about it, and she went easy on me! would take again.

her lectures are really disorganized. She'll go on tangents and you won't understand any of it. Her classes aren't bad but its not stimulating. She can't seem to respect any opinion other than her own, and its like being in a class with someone completely close-minded.

Dr. Muse-Isaacs is a brilliant professor. She makes learning about indigenous literature very interesting. I always leave class feeling happy and with a more open mind on indigenous culture! Love it.

Dr. Muse was a sweetheart. She was kind, caring, and accommodating. Her lectures were easy to follow, the midterm was a breeze, and her quizzes were very easy. She genuinely cares and even gave me 2 big hugs when I was having a rough week. She even offered me extra time to write my exams in her office since I can't with SAS. She's a real gem :)

She decided to teach Indigenous Film and lit instead of what I signed up for. She assigned a heavy 30 pg reading for the class to have done before the first day. Her lectures are either about her life story, or entirely class discussion. She changed the syllabus without asking. No clear marking rubric. DISORGANIZED. Wish I didn't take her class.
