Comment:

Worst professor I've ever had. Lectures are so disorganized that they're useless, and she seemed to repeat only a few ideas over and over. I learned more from the occasional videos shown. Entire grade based on a few papers - grades seem to be completely random, & she failed 2/3 of our class on the first essay. If assigned to her class, I'd drop.

Comment:

Essay questions were difficult to understand. Unclear grading criteria. When people would ask for clarification she didnt clarify. The presentations are graded by the students and on the last day of class, months after the first presentation, she told us that we did them wrong and she would grade herself. Avoid this class if possible.

Very hard to understand at times. Grading criteria isn't clear. Class material was very broad. 2 essays with 15 points each. Class presentation worth the same. Final paper worth 40 and the rest is attendance and participation

Comment:

She is by far one of the worse professors I have ever had. She is disorganized, and if you do not pick up on what she means or wants early on, you're screwed. She seems knowledgeable, however she isn't good at explaining what she wants from the class. Her grading sucks, because she doesn't articulate what you did wrong well. Take her class at risk.

Comment:

Makes funny remarks in class every so often but entire grade is based on a few short papers and each one gets graded more harshly. Sometimes shows boring videos that are no help whatsoever and overall you don't really learn much.

Comment:

The class is composed of just essays, all kind of arbitrary where the final essay can account for 40% of the grade. The lectures are relatively pointless but she'll give you full credit for participation unless your repeatedly absent. You really have to put in effort for the essays. "A" inst impossible but you'll have to work for it.

Comment:

This lecture is was nightmares are made of. Used derogatory terms when discussing sesnitive issues like religion. She claims to be open minded but is one of the most ignorant and judgmental people I've ever met. We had a text book, but barely used it. Her grading is HORRIBLE and will ruin your GPA. Won't take you seriously if you meet after class

Comment:

Although I have nothing against her, she was one of the worst graders I've ever encountered. Normally, I would receive an A for any writing assignment so idk where she gets her grades from but I received no legitimate feedback. She also had a few things against a few select students, so make sure you get on her good side early.

Comment:

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! I came in with general knowledge about sociology having taken it in high school. Entire grade based on 3 papers, final paper worth 40 points. Extremely harsh grader. No consideration for student's lives outside of the class room. Changes syllabus to fit her needs, not to help the students. Changed the syllabus over 3 times

Comment:

I could barely understand her accent. She's horrible as a teacher and grades essays strictly. However, her class is chill and you can just do assignemts from other classes for her class. Attendance is not mandatory because you can just have someone sign in for you. You don't really need to listen to her lectures to do well in class.

Comment:

TAKE THIS CLASS. You will not regret it. Yes, she may be hard to understand at times, but she knows her stuff. She opened my mind about having a sociological imagination. If you want to learn, take this class. Put your biases away and listen. She is like a mother of knowledge to the class. If you like pizza, take this class.

Her lessons and test are strictly from the textbook, so you don't even need to pay attention in class. As long as you read and study the book you should get good grades on the tests, which consist of only the midterm and final. I agree that she needs to change her ways of teaching. Take her if you're good at studying from a textbook.

Comment:

Attendance counts, participation sometimes does, the books for the book reports were very interesting, the tests are textbook based, the videos she shows in class are also interesting, the lectures are basically a review of the chapter that was due that day. Not a tough class, pretty average.

She needs to change her ways entirely. I think she knows her teaching style is not working but she doesn't do anything about it. Extremely unhelpful and her lectures are so unorganized. Don't recommend.

Comment:

Her lectures ramble on and on with no semblance of structure. We started talking about native american alcoholism rates one day, and then we wound up talking about different rock compositions and the big bang. How she even got us there? That's Charles for ya'! Read the textbook and you'll pass, but don't expect to leave the class having learned.

Comment:

I got a B without reading the textbook. She's not clear, her notes on the board are just scribbles, and she's very rude. Don't raise your hand to participate until you get how she works. Try to make her like you if you do speak because she can be nasty. It's a doable class, though. The tests are easy enough. Don't save the paper for the last min.

Comment:

Atrocious experience. I would never in my life take this professor again. Her exams are specific to whatever Schaefer, the author of the textbook, says. That is her god. A question she proposed on an exam was literally asking an example from an excerpt in the textbook, a detail that is not essential to the course. Book reports not clear at all.

Comment:

She doesn't speak clearly and expects you to writesay what she's thinking. Hates lateness yet is late at times. No written work except for two book reports. She's a super tough grader. Would never take her again.
