Teaching
At Berkeley, I teach both core classes and special topics in public policy in the Goldman School of Public Policy's program for Masters in Public Policy and Masters in Public Affairs. See below for some comments about my teaching style.
I've never had a professor so invested in the subject matter of her course, and you could tell she genuinely cared about our input and ensuring we fully comprehended any material she presented us with. The format of this course is incredibly unique but simultaneously allowed me to learn the best.
Professor Sadin is a truly phenomenal instructor. Every class was incredibly engaging and interactive, and discussion was always lively. Professor did a wonderful job teaching the material in a way that was interesting, informative and nuanced. Her feedback on assignments also was very warm and helpful. I really enjoyed this class and would recommend it to all my friends!
"Professor Sadin is amazing! I decided to attend Berkeley to meet professors like her. She exceeded my expectations of what a Berkeley professor should be. She cares about the work she is doing and that shows by how she runs the course.
"Meredith was the best preceptor I've had at Princeton! Our discussions were always insightful and went beyond mere summaries of the readings. Moreover, she managed to keep us all engaged and interested for the entire 50 minutes."
I wish I could take this course again.
Professor Sadin was one of the best professors I have ever had at Cal! She is extremely kind and caring and so incredibly knowledgeable about the subjects we were learning about. She crafted an inclusive and welcoming space and her class was always one I felt I could participate in without judgment. She tried to get to know each one of us individually and was extra helpful during the time when we were interviewing clients and officers and even gave us her information to personally contact her if we needed to. Professor Sadin was such a great resource, professor, and mentor, and her future students are so lucky
I truly learned more in this course than any other, and it has encouraged me to further explore research in this area of interest and potentially leaning more towards policy work than I had initially been intending on doing.
Absolutely phenomenal! One of the best at engaging with students, facilitating discussion, and training the next generation of researchers.
This was one of the best courses I have ever taken at Cal. The class was perfectly structured to give students an in-depth look at the carceral system at the nexus of a few different factors, and I loved how the second part of the class allowed us to translate what we had learned into practical experience in the field.
The course has genuinely become one of my favorites! It was highly informational and helpful in learning how to navigate the prison state and challenges that individuals experience in re-entry. It was incredibly eye-opening to hear about the many different lens and perspectives that are impacted by the justice system in America. Additionally, Professor Sadin does a magnificent job of breaking down and explaining key concepts, as well as effectively organizing and pacing the class in a way that is easily digestible.
