Jen is super passionate and caring. Daily hw takes about 20min and is clearly laid out in the schedule. The main project takes up a huge portion of your grade. Get ready to do an activity that involves getting out in the community. Class covers the income inequality in the United States. Jen is fun and one of a kind.

Comment:

she's very kind and engaging. easy class as long as you show up most of the time, do the readings/hw, and get good grades on projects and the final. extra credit available, but not needed. only caveat is it's all about economic inequality so if you're not interested in that, don't take her.

She's really passionate about what she teaches and SO ORGANIZED so it will be easy to get an A if you put the work it. It is quite a good amount of work though.

Jen is my favorite professor I have had at De Anza. Her assignments are fun and require you to utilize your creative side. She is very educated on her subject matter and is actually active in ending social inequalities. Overall great class, and wish she taught another sociology class so I could learn from her again.

I wish I could take her for all of my classes haha. She is the most conscientious and caring professor that I have ever taken at De Anza. I was skeptical at first but now I know Im lucky to take her. You have readings everyday to take note. That is the only difficult task of the course. Other projects are just easy money. Easy grading. Respectable

One of the best teachers I've ever had. Class grade mainly consists of project, but not hard to do. She really cares about sociology and making a change. Amazing lectures and has extra credit opportunities. Anyone planning to take SOC1 or even learning about making a change should really take her class.

If you are into energetic professors then this is the one for you. There are only group work with partners at random that happen in this class. Along with that there is homework every night which are almost always readings out of the books required or post for social media. You will have to make a new Twitter/ Instagram account just for sociology.

I was taking this course for the general education requirement, and ended up helplessly in love with the subject. She's incredibly passionate about sociology, and you end up the same way. Reading EVERY night, homework, lots of effort put into this class to get an A. Totally worth it.

I loved Jen's class even though the papers were kind of challenging. If you read and pay attention in class (which you should do in all your classes) you will pass her final very easily. I think sometimes she boosts your grade, because after reading all her comments on my papers I realized how i poor I did on them. But she is great! Take her!:)

Great teacher: very passionate, readily helpful, energetic, and easy-fair grading. Reading assignments every day with notes, two projects (one visual, one research paper), zero quizzes/tests/midterms, and one final - with weighted grading. Get the book, do the readings, take notes in class, do the work, and you'll do just fine.

Probably the best teacher i had at De Anza so far. There is a lot of reading but its not hard, all you have to do is keep up. She teaches so that you are interested, and if you have prior knowledge of what the class is about you'll definitely get an A.

Jen is one of the best instructors I've had. She is passionate, skilled in her field, and can keep the class engaged. After taking her class, I discovered that my passion is within sociology, and so I am now a sociology major. The class is loaded with homework, one essay, and a finial- nonetheless is an easy A. Take Jen, shes awesome!
