the sweetest and easiest professor ever if you listen carefully to her lectures & pay attention to films.Only 3 multiple-choice tests which are straight from her lectures and films. A great person.

i liked her very much.was very interesting class. learned a lot. 2 tests with multiple choice and essay parts, which were not hard. + 20 mini essays during semester which if graded with OK mark, you don't have to rewrite them.if you listen carefuly to her lectures and do the work, you'll be ok on her tests.would take her again.

Comment:

shes a nice lady. BIG TIME feminist. goes off topic a lot which is kind of annoying. teaches her opinion too much. should instead just give facts and let students make what they want of it and decide their own opinion. tests are fair. she cares about the subject. im not crazy about her but shes alright

Sweetest woman ever. Her class is extremely simple if you pay attention. Dont take her if you plan on not listening in class because what she says in her lectures is on the tests practically word for word.

Comment:

Although her class is extremely boring you leave knowing more information from when you first walked in. If you listen carefully to what she says it will be on the midterm and final word for word. Easy A if you pay attention.

Okay class was boring but she was funny. If you listen in class you'll pass her tests. She tends to go way off topic.Not a bad class though overall.

most boring class ever, she goes off topic constantly, and dont even bother reading the textbook b/c she basically reads it to u in class, well at least tries to until she rambles on about other stuff, but yeha if i were you i wud avoid Melman. however, its a good class to catch up on sleep =)

The material is interesting, but she MAKES it boring. This had the potential of being a really interesting class, but she sucks all the fun out of it. Just show up and sit there. Make sure to watch the films.

This is a very boring class n it starts so early at 8:00am. In her class, almost half of the students fall asleep cuz of the subject matter n the early time. She hates students who come into the class w/ a smoking smell.. so be careful! dont smoke be4 attend to her class! She "must" make fun on u in front of the whole class!!!!

she was funny, interesting topics, her tests are mostly based on what she says in class and not on the textbooks, no essays, no homeworks, just multiple choice questions on the 2 tests and final.

Comment:

She's a sweet heart and is very much interested in the subject matter. I personally learned a lot from her class and which I could be her student once again in the future. She mixes socialogy with a bit of politics which makes the course a whole lot interesting and boredom free.
