Comment:

Dr. Looney was one of my favorite teachers at Augie, and I only took one class with her. She makes a point to make personal connections, and makes material easy to relate to. Lots of papers, but her grading is fair and she is accessible for help.

Dr. Looney is more concerned about you grasping the ideas and your grades, rather than her just giving you a grade. She is always willing to help outside the classroom and make you a better writer.

If you don't like reading and writing don't take a class with Professor Looney. She is an incredible teacher and some people just can't handle actually doing work in her classes. I rate her very highly because I have not ever heard of any problems with her except from people that should not be in college to begin with. She is an amazing professor.

There is a lot of writing in Looney's classes, and even more reading at that! Be prepared to scrutinize your essay for any possible errors, because she can and will mark you down significantly if you aren't spotless in mechanics. Her classes aren't all that difficult once you get past the work load. I certainly learned a lot and enjoyed the class!

What a geniunely delightful woman! Absolutely will go out of her way to help students. She does have a lot of reading material (it was easily over 1,000 pages), but she teaches in a way that is manageable and fair. I thought I wasn't going to fare well in her class and that wasn't the case at all. I Strongly recommend this class.

Looney is THE top quality prof Augie has to offer. Her class doesn't just change your writing, but through the writing, it changes you. Having graduated from Augie four years ago, I realize this more clearly now than ever before. The question is not if you should take her class. The question is, if you will be lucky enough to have her. Good luck.

Sandra Looney is the best professor I have ever had. She is challenging, insightful, passionate, and so many more wonderful qualities. The classes she teaches are not easy, but they prepare you well. I will recommend her to anyone looking to take an English class. If you don't take one with her before you leave Augustana, you are missing out!

I LOVED HER! She taught me how to write what was going on in my head. But she doesn't just give out the good stuff for free - you've got to show interest, then she'll invest in you.

Dr. Looney is an Augustana classic. She is not only intelligent and understandable, but entertaining as well. If you have a chance to take a class with her you better like to write, and try to be open with different ways of going about your writing, because she will help show you how to be a great writer!

Comment:

She is a little bit of a space cadet at times. She is interesting though and she assigns interesting reading and is helpful. But she has enough experience that she's not afraid to call people out for not doing the reading. It's always funny, as long as it isn't you.

I took her world lit class. I am not and english major and I am not a writer, I'm horrible at it. But I did well in her class. If you can overlook the fact that she rambles,and she can be somewhat arrogant. Take a class from her because you will learn a bunch and have so much fun. And do not expect a syllabus when she says she will have one.

What a sweet lady! I took ENGL 226, Shakespeare, and Capstone w/her. She rambles a fair bit, but it's usually interesting. She really tries to get students to appreciate literature as art, and does not OVER analyze it as many eng. profs will do.

I worked on an independent study with Sandra and it probably my best experience at Augie. I had a very busy second semester, and she was very flexible in working around my schedule. Not only that, but she was flexible in the class. I loved working with her, and if you get the chance, take her class.

Sandra is amazing. She is not easy, but if you work and are honest about areas you need help in, she's incredible. I am a better writer, a better student, a better intellectual, and a better human being because of her. However, for non-English majors, she's probably not the best choice for a prof, 'cause she's serious about what she teaches.

My all-time favorite professor and all-time favorite human being. She'll do just about anything for a student. Her passion for teaching English makes up for her disorganization. If you get a chance, travel with her too. She's an Augie institution.

Oh man...She is HORRIBLE. She is so rude. I once asked her about a paper I had written and she asked me if I took english 110 at Augie b/c if I did, she was worried. Also, She asked if I knew how to write a sentence!Do yourself a favor and do not take her. At first, I thought she was going to be very nice but that changed by the end of the class.
