Professor Avedikian is the best professor I have had. She is so laid back and hilarious. Really cares about the students and understanding. Had to write a paper. Other than that just take notes and show up for class.

Colleen was an amazing professor, she always has interesting stories to tell that goes along with the lectures. There are online quizzes which are really easy, there is also a research paper at the end of the semester, she is a fair grader and is always around to help students. I would take her class again. There is also an online textbook access.

Comment:

Dr. Avedikian does a very good job of relating to her students, as well as keeping the lectures in good taste. That said, if you don't like feminism, you may be unhappy for a week or two, as it's a major focus during the class.

Colleen is absolutely fantastic! When I posted that I'm uninformed about the gender wage gap, she emailed the whole class with links about it. The textbook is online and free! Next time I need a class, I'm looking for her.

Awesome professor! Loved her class. She's hilarious! She had us use an online textbook to save us the money from buying a book. I definitely recommend taking a class with her.

She should be a comedian! Her classes are very easy I've had her since freshman year. I heard she's leaving umd next semester but she still deserves the rating! Class based on society, pretty general stuff. Tests were on the required txt but she's an easy grader and you can easily get an A-B if you show up to class & take notes. Open notes test =)

I absolutely loved her. If you have the chance to take her at all, you won't regret it! SOC 101 was pretty basic; sat in class, talked, left. Our assignments were all online. She was very forgiving when it came to late work. Wish I could take her again!

Avedikian is easily my favorite professor at UMD. She makes class fun, is compassionate and intelligent, and you leave each lecture having learned something new. It would be a mistake to not have at least one class with her before graduating. As long as you have the book and do all of the online exams/quizzes, you'll end with an A in the class.

Best professor ever! Easy class, but you still learn a lot. Every section was interesting. You should NOT graduate UMD without taking her!

Comment:

By far the best professor I've ever had. I took this course as just a free elective in my junior year and if I took this earlier, I would probably have switched my major to sociology. Colleen made this class interesting and really peaked interest. She is the best. Never skipped this class, thats how good it is.

She is awesome. I was in a bing lecture hall, we used Pearson text books and took our quizzes online. They are pretty easy and you can take them twice, she gives many opportunities for extra credit, which gets added to your final exam grade. Notes are very easy to take in her class since she makes outlines on the board then talks about everything

Professor avedikian is a really good professor. Her lectures are interesting. In the class all you have to worry about is online tests and quizes that are due every week. Which are easy because you can have your book with you. The only in class tests are the midterm and finals. Easy if you study. She takes attendence so go to class.
