This is the easiest class I've taken in my entire life (including high school). She is a great lecturer. Don't buy the book! You are never going to read it.

Easy easy easy class. She's hot and a good speaker. The way she has her tests makes you learn a couple of things really well, but also makes it insanely easy to get an A. A great elective if you have a hard semester! Maybe 5 hours of work all semester.

Excellent class... vivid teaching style allowed for students to do well without reading primary sources. Lecture slides give all the pertinent information for exams. Also extremely kind and understanding.

I actually looked forward to the trek out to Morrison Hall for her class. One of the kindest professors on campus. Just when you think that all of your professors are out to get you, take a class with Prof. Szelenyi!

easiest class at cornell. topics are just barely introduced, not for people who really want to learn sociology. her lectures are very entertaining and she often makes jokes that are actually funny. and one of the hotter female teachers at cornell.

She's very lively and nice. Sometimes she goes too fast, but she always posts lecture notes online, so it's not a problem. I would definitely recommend taking this class with her.
