Comment:

Her lectures and powerpoints are amazing. You don't even need to read the book just study her powerpoints and you'll get an A on tests. 2 major papers in semester see her in office hrs she basically grades your paper in there and then you can fix it and have an easy 100% on both papers. Would take again, she's super funny too.

Love her to death. She knows what she's talking about and explains it so we understand as well. Not a hard grader either. She's willing to help whenever you need it as well. She makes her lectures fun and interesting. By paying attention, writing down notes, and doing what she asks of you, you will pass this class.

She is a great professor; very friendly, funny, and not too challenging to get an A if you do what she asks from you. Tests were not too challenging, homework was easy, and the 2 papers took time but she did not grade too harsh. definitely recommend.

She is such an amazing professor and she really tries to help her students succeed by keeping us updated on grades and providing excellent feedback! It can be hard sometimes to get in touch with professors outside of class or if you're online, but she is very good about responding and answering all of your questions. Definitely a great choice!

Take her if you need to get Sociology over with. Lectures are good and she's a caring person. I did not do well on her exams but her homework and 2 papers really helped my grade a lot. She also offers 2 extra credit opportunities that were really easy. Overall, great teacher to get this class out of the way.

Comment:

Prof K is a cool person, she's funny and outgoing, but when it came to the lectures, she was unprepared. We hardly went over the powerpoints she made, and when she did talk, she frequently had to look through notes because she was unsure of the topic. We didn't discuss need to know stuff for exams, but we had a lot of interesting discussions...

Professor Kosinski is an amazing professor! While the course is difficult, especially the service project, she will work with you and explain concepts in more depth. There are a lot of papers but as long as you stay motivated they aren't very difficult. She is very passionate and seems to genuinely care about what she is teaching!

Professor Kosinski is a great professor. She gives many examples so you understand what your learning. She is very clear about everything.

Very good Sociology teacher. She makes clear what she wants from the start and her lectures can be funny at times. I would have gotten an A in her class but I forgot to do some of the homework that she assigned at the beginning.

Just finished my semester with Professor Kosinski and would highly recommend her. I took the class online, 2 exams(midterm and final), weekly homework/group discussions. Answers questions according and easy to get in touch with.

I hate sociology, but Professor Kosinski is the best! Always responds promptly to e-mails (even on the weekends!) and is always willing to help is you ask. There are no quizzes, but there are two exams and two papers as well as weekly discussions and sometimes homework.

Comment:

She's a pretty good professor. She lectures like you already know most things about Sociology, but you eventually start to grasp things on your own. She's a little difficult in the beginning, but you get used to how she teaches. I used the textbook once, don't buy it. Pay attention during lectures, and you'll pass just fine.

Professor Kosinski is a wonderful professor! I took her class online over the summer and only wish I would've taken her class on campus as I can only imagine how helpful and great she is in the classroom. She gives awesome feedback and genuinely cares about how you do in her class. Highly recommend!

One of my favorites at RVC. What's expected is clearly spelled out to you. Not a terribly difficult class if you simply do the work. Prof K is hilarious and very intelligent. I have a lot of respect for her as a prof and in general as a person with thought.

I love her so much, I'm taking her for Social Problems in the fall! Really sweet, really smart, clear about what she expects. Someone else said attendance counted for points in their class, but I missed like 4 classes cause I have depression and it didn't mess up my grade at all. Would absolutely recommend!
