Review #1 / Course: ENGL 3020 / Instructor: SANDIFORD K
This class was ridiculous, tedious, and pointless. Sandiford clearly showed favoritism to certain students. He was extremely boring, and impossible to pay attention to. If you were below his radar then you could do mediocre, but once he decides he doesn't like you, you're going to do terrible. At the end of the semester he neglected to tell the entire class to fill out his evaluation, instead he told the students that he called on constantly, that were going to make A's. He randomly calls on students to make sure they're paying attention and generally he dislikes the answers. He cares about attendance, if you you miss too many classes he's going to force you to have a meeting with him. His grading standards were ridiculous. There's no winning in this class, don't take it. I was so angry at the end of it. If you do take this class, be prepared to put in a lot of work with little results.

I understand objections to him, but personally, I thought he was outstanding -- one of the best professors I've ever had. Just participate and show some interest in the material, and you should do well.

He is so boring. Talks in a monotone voice the whole time. It's easy to make a B in papers, but soo hard to get an A on papers.

Review #5 / Course: ENGL 4055 / Instructor: SANDIFORD K
Sandiford is the worst prof. I've ever had (in 5 years of school and two different universities)- He has horrible social skills and definitely has favorites- he loves to hear himself talk- he is rude in class

Review #6 / Course: ENGL 2027 / Instructor: SANDIFORD K
He is the worst teacher at LSU. I asked him if I could come to his office and he refused to help me. He was always to busy to talk to me and even sent me a threatening email saying "Beware the sin of ingratitude"

Sandiford is the worst teacher Ive ever had. He is very liberal and very arrogant. Thinks he is too smart for the average student. Do not take HIM.

Review #8 / Course: ENGL 2027 / Instructor: SANDIFORD K
Mr. Sandiford is way too qualified to be at LSU. This class could be interesting and somewhat easy, but he makes it out to be my hardest class this semester, he is way too hard and expects too much out of you, he also doesn't teach this course

Prof. Sandiford is a crazy grader. He is a nice man, but as a teacher, he is a horribly unfair grader.

Dr. Sandiford is hard to understand at times. He does not answer questions well. He is very repetitive and that makes the material difficult to understand.
