Comment:

She. Is. Amazing. Her lectures are on topics that are relevant and she makes the concepts easy to understand. Her tests are written purely from the lecture slides which follow closely with the book, the questions are straightforward and simple to answer if you read/studied. She provides outlines for all chapters of the book which are a godsend.

Comment:

LOVED this professor! she was amazing and a wonderful lecturer. She is very nice and motivated in her lessons. I always went to office hours and she was always willing to clarify things. Exams are really straightforward from slides and textbook. If you read the textbook and look at the slides you should do well. But overall straight forward class

Comment:

Not a bad class or professor. I cannot stand her lecture notes though. They are so contradictory. One statistic will state one thing and the next will say the opposite. She is not clear with her facts and it is very frustrating. It's difficult to know what to expect from her.

This class was so easy. If it weren't for the in class assignments you really would not have to go, just read the book because the lectures are straight out of the book. She is funny though. Nice too. The tests were pretty easy

Comment:

An interesting class, but lectures can be long and dry. It depends on who your ta is for how hard the test will be. You have to read the text to do well on the tests and pay attention to theories, stats, and racial differences. The class is 2 midterms 50% of grade, 1 final (cumulative 30%), and 5 easy inclass assignments (20%, drops lowest assign)

Comment:

Lecture can be a bit dry, but Prof. Conger is a nice person and loves taking questions. The class material is interesting and you'll learn a lot about something you assumed you knew everything about. The tests can be difficult if you don't do the readings so definitely keep up with them.

Comment:

This is a great class. In order to do well in this class, I would recommend doing the readings because some questions on the tests come from reading that was not covered in lecture. The subject matter is interesting so the reading goes by fast. Also you need to go to class because she gives in class quizzes. Test questions are odd though.

Comment:

As a professor, Conger is great. She knows her stuff,and is obviously very knowledgeable and experienced. Going to class is a must as she gives a in class assignment occasionally. The tests were weird; no matter how much one studies, the test are actually hard. I think she gives a little EC and curves a bit, and that will probably save us.

Comment:

This class was fairly easy. She literally followed the book, so it was easy to catch up if you missed class. It was boring at times, but the material was interesting. It was a lot on sociological things, but fairly easy to remember. Just make sure to study your notes and you'll be golden for the tests.

Such a dumb/useless class. She is the most monotone professor I've ever had. Material seems like common knowledge, but on the test, she asks very specific questions. AVOID.

Comment:

This class is an easy A. There are 2 midterms which have short essays and the final is only multiple choice. If you read or go to class you can get an A. You get full credit on in-class assignments if you just do them, EC is given and also a slight curve up. Easy, but can be a bit boring.

Comment:

Dr. Conger is very knowledable in this subject matter, and is very friendly. The class was easy if you paid attention in lecture, not really that necessary to read the text, because she covers it pretty well.

A very interesting and comprehensive class. She is so knowledgeable about the subject matter. Two scantron midterms and scantron final. In-class writing assignments, open notes. Just read the book and study her notes. I learned a lot and really enjoyed it.

Awesome professor. She made my first experience with upper division classes really enjoyable. She's somewhat easy (just go to class and read ALL the text) and yah she's just really awesome!
