Comment:

Do not take her class if you are anti social and hate participating. Participation is a requirement. She is a very hard grader. Lot of reading must be done and there's a quiz every week on BB. You take 3 tests and she takes your 2 best scores for your final grade. Quizlet is your best friend for the quizzes.

She has fun teaching and tries to make it fun for students. You are expected to read a lot and be ready for class, otherwise she will sanction you.

Comment:

Patricia's a wonderful woman. She's a very kind person but is a very tough grader. Participation really matters. There's two midterms and an optional online final. She allowed one 3x5 card on first midterm. If you choose to take the final and do better than you did on one of your midterms, she'll drop the lowest scored midterm and keep the final.

Extremely tough grader. I took this class because I wanted to gain some knowledge about the environment and society, not because I'm getting a PHD in the subject. Her feedback is harsh and honestly hurt my feelings.

Comment:

This instructor has high, but reasonable, expectations - and it is possible to get an A. Read all of the assigned material, and be very thorough in your responses. Begin your exams as early as possible to give yourself ample time to complete them. This class will help prepare you for upper level classes. I enjoyed the class and learned a lot.

Comment:

take this class and you will never get an A, she expects you to be able to read her mind on all the questions---NEVER---- TAKE HER AGAIN FOR ANY CLASS I answered her questions word for word out of book and she said it was incorrect and then she added parts to the question that was not on the tests.

Comment:

Complex subject and teacher. She grades very stringently, BUT bumped my grade up a whole letter because I was close to a B and was participating routinely. Take her if you want to learn to think from a new angle- if you're strapped for time, it might be best to look elsewhere. Writing a dissenting opinion in a paper requires PROOF of your argument.

She is an amazing teacher. The class schedule clear from the beginning . Participation is important because the class book is dry and hard to understand, and her lectures are amazing. The reading material is heavy , but she is available after class or in her office hours to answer for questions. Weekly quizzes with open book and open note.

Comment:

If you have a busy life, do not take this professor! One of the assignments she gives requires you to log every interaction you have with an electronic device (iPod, cash register, etc). This is impossible (and even dangerous) in some settings, such as where I work, but she doesn't seem to understand that I (and other students) can't do it.

Comment:

Patricia was not the best instructor I have had at Chemeketa. Her lectures are hard to follow (and keeping it real they're hard to stay awake during)her lectures have nothing to do with what is on her test. Make sure you read the text and just try to pretend to think like a sociologist when answering the questions on her test. Quizlet 4 herquizzes

She is a very nice professor. But she also is very tough on grading. Her lectures are long and participation is required. Besides the lectures we had to read the entire textbook and take weekly tests. Alot of information in a short amount of time.

Comment:

I learned one major thing in this class: I am not into sociology. That being said, Patricia Antione is a good instructor who cares for her students and truly wants to help them learn. She is passionate and knowledgeable about Sociology and shares interesting personal experiences. There are a couple papers and a couple tests, not too difficult.

Very confusing and high expectations. Expects you to read her mind on what she wants and think like her. I worked my tail off studying and got low grades on everything. I barely passed with a C. I would not recommend her to anyone!

Comment:

She is very self centered. If you don't think like her, your wrong. She grades like she is some university professor, but she's not. You'll be lucky to get a C. In my opinion pick a different teacher if you want a good grade. She takes the class way to serious, as if it is her life.

Comment:

This instructor has high expectations but isn't clear what she wants. She doesn't give full credit for anything! She told us that her highest grade for a midterm this term was 4445. Nobody got a perfect score? Be prepared to do tons of work and get low grades. She sucks.

The entire class schedule is made available from day one. There are only three written assignments, two exams and a handful of discussion posts to participate in. It is important to read through her lecture notes, this helps to summarize the her key points from the text. This class covers half of the textbook. Fair grader. Would take again.

A lot of reading from the text book. I felt Patricia was there for me if I had any questions. She was very clear in the class direction and assignments. If you complete all assignments and extra credit you should get an easy A. The tests are all open book and essay questions. Take your time with them and you should be OK. Final test is optional.

This professor was helpful, kind, and organized. I took her online The Sociological Perspective class. If you read the chapters, and make a study guide, it is a easy class. Easy A! For the Final, you can take two Mid term exams (essay formed) over a series of four days, and the total for the two exams are your final. I love this class
