Reviews of professor Sandra Lim

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Sandra is a compassionate and understanding professor but the course content can be hard to process, especially if you aren't familiar with political or film analysis. You write two essays but the lower grade is dropped, meaning one essay is worth 70% of your final grade. If you struggle with writing essays, you will struggle in this course.

A very kind prof! Participation is key, as you get bonus marks for answering questions in-class. Handing in assignments early also gives you +3 bonus marks. My only gripe is that she will sometimes give last-minute assignment details just a couple days before its due - which is annoying. Overall, Sandra is great (and so are the movies!)

Awesome prof, even for a bird course, because students with other profs struggled. Gives clear feedback on essay which is easy to understand and shows the students what they missed or did really well.

I think TMU needs to have more professors like Dr. Lim. She was attentive to her students' needs and didn't give us a difficult time at all. I found my time with her educational in a way that made me interested in the material taught. Even if you're not interested in politics, I promise you'll enjoy and take away good things from this class.

She is a very nice and kind individual, and will try her best to make sure the class is a fun learning experience and GPA booster. When it comes to essays she is a light marker and will even help you out along the way. Amazing prof and amazing course. Will highly recommend this lower liberal to anyone.

I really loved taking her class. The films she picked to study were enjoyable and she clearly explained how they were political. She had bi-weekly quizzes and I found them really easy. The final exam was like a long quiz. I did have some trouble with the essay but I'm not the best writer. Textbooks were rarely used and was free through the uni.

I had her for POL128, and she was really amazing. She understands her students' needs, and is a very good marker who gives good feedback. There are 2 essays however she gives the option of skipping one. The quizzes every 2 weeks are based off of the movies and the lectures.

Sandra is such a sweetheart and genuinely cares for her students . She wants students to do well in the course and is super easy to talk to/ accessible out of class . Sandra is one of the best profs Ive had at ryerson so far ! Pol128 is not a bird course for people saying it is you do have to attend class and work for a good mark

Like most comments say, Lim is a VERY kind & understanding prof. POL128 is not a bird course tho. Her quizzes are pretty easy, but she marks hard on the assignments. She's reachable and gives good details if you email her questions about evaluations. She gives options for bonus marks for handing in assignments early and for in-class participation.
