Reviews of professor Elizabeth Sandberg

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
I think Dr. Sandberg gets an unfair rap as a professor. She has a strong personality that I think some students might not like, but she is very understanding and her gen psych class I took was relatively easy. The tests are open note, open book so you can honestly get away with reading all of the chapters the night before and get an A on the exams.

Sandberg is big on giving all or no credit. All of her tests are multiple choice which seems nice until you don't get any partial credit and she asks for analysis that if you miss one aspect of it you will get a zero. Not a fan, would not take again.

I think overall, Prof. Sandberg was solid. She is obviously knowledgeable in her field and sticks strictly to the syllabus. I think she was generous in the leeway she gave during this COVID semester and although she'll probably never teach an online course again, she executed it well.

Clearly cares about the subject and wants her students to as well. Lots of tests, and assignments can be kind of painfully long, but all in all a decent class.

Has interesting, funny, and interactive lectures despite the size of the class, although sometimes they seem off topic for a psych course. Very honest and bold to the point where its a little scary. Lots of homework but you get automatic 100s or its pass/fail. Tests can be tricky but not unreasonable and retakes are offered.

She is quite condescending and has been very dismissive throughout the semester. The TA's are not at all helpful and if you ask a question, they just look it up on google.

Her lectures are very boring and often gets off topic. The structure of the class is also absolutely terrible and she has somewhat no idea what she is doing. With that being said, it is an easy class. Many quizzes and the final was open note and open book. As long as you read and do your work, you should be fine.

Dr. Sandberg allows you to retake tests and averages the original score with the retake (for intro psych). All of the tests are multiple choice.
