Comment:

Becky Trigg was one of the most inspirational and truly great professors I have yet to come across. She is the reason I pursued a degree in Sociology, and had a profound impact on my life. I feel extremely grateful to have known her, and sorry for all who never had a chance to. Rest in peace, Professor Trigg.

Comment:

Fantastic teacher. I was an awful student, but I read and tried as best as I could and she helped me out when ever I asked. I don't know if she'll still be teaching though, she was diagnosed with cancer after her mother died and had to teach the class over Skype and with the help of other sociology professors.

Prof. Trigg is the reason I am pursuing a minor in Sociology. I tried to fit another one of her courses into the next semester, even though i didn't really need it. Her dedication to the science of sociology and the success of her students is unmatched. She is EXTREMELY helpful. Also, don't be an idiot. Read. Go to class.

I have taken several classes taught by Prof. Trigg. All have been very interesting and I found her to be very fair in testing and grading. Expect to study and expect to learn.

Comment:

I had no particular interest in sociology at first, but Trigg made learning fun. She uses real-life, easy-to-understand examples. Her tests are comprehensive and tricky but if you know how to apply terms and definitions, you'll be fine. I had many tell me I wouldn't make it in this class but I got an A. Loved the class, Loved Trigg. Take her!

Comment:

She did barely ANY work for or class and was unashamed of it even calling herself lazy. We turned in like 20-30 assignments and got maybe 5 back. She gave hard tests that she ended up having to scale like 2-7 points. She did not teach but read her notes. She didn't seem knowledgeable. Her text was ridiculously slanted toward the left. She was awful

I have taken 3 classes, Soc 100, Soc 200 and WS 100 from Professor Trigg. She is a wonderful Professor. She loves what she does. Her class is a challenge. But she is very interesting. She is a very fair grader. Attendance is necessary. I will take more classes from her even if I do not need them. She is wonderful and I love her!!!!!!

Trigg is awesome. Go to class, read the chapters, do the bonus, and pay attention to theory in the quizzes. You can make an A. She tells stories in class THAT ACTUALLY GO WITH THE MATERIAL. You will actually learn something in this class and probably enjoy it. Don't be late to class or leave during lecture though. She thinks it's rude!

Good news...you can make an A in this class...show up, sit down (DO NOT get up during lecture), listen, take notes, read book, take quizzes, do bonus assingments, study for tests, and you should do fine. Sounds like a college course, right? You may learn something useful along the way. I really enjoyed her class.

Comment:

I learned so much in this class. My vocabulary increased. I put around 4 hours every week into this class because she does a reading assignment every week based on journal articles. She has quizzes but as long as you read the articles you will be fine. There is also a paper (4-6 pages). No textbook

I love this professor!!!!! She is great. Come to class, attendance is taken through the mandatory clicker. She gives quizzes on each chapter but if you attend class they should be a breeze. The quizzes come from the book and her notes but the test are strictly notes. There are several opportunities to receive extra credit. She covers all of t

Professor Trigg is amazing! I look forward to her class because the material is actually interesting and she is very funny. The tests aren't too hard but you should read the chapters. This also helps with the quizzes. She gives bonus material and in-class participation points. GREAT CLASS AND GREAT TEACHER!!!
