Comment:

This is definitely among the hardest classes I have ever taken. Sure, she is funny and makes class interesting but she is a tough grader and expects a lot even for college level. Disappointed! I have also noticed that in person in class she is nice but when you email her she is rather rude and assumes she explained things already "numerous" times!

I thought Prof Augis was wonderful. She's upbeat, passionate, and very intelligent. YES she expects a lot, but this is college! I thought the class was fairly easy & super interesting. Just READ!!! If she sees no effort on your part, she will NOT feel sorry for you.

expects way to much of her students, if you do anything wrong, including laughing, being late you receive minus points, read a lot, many quizzes, more then 5 grammatical errors on final paper you fail. don't take her, drop your minor, doesn't mean that much when you get your diploma its not even seen on there.

Want to learn and have fun? Take her. Are you lazy, hate challenge work, looking for easy elective and high grade with little or no effort? Stay away! I never had seen any more picky grammar checker as professor Augis LOL. Thesis statement and answer = Important!!

Comment:

Her 200-level courses are treated more like 300 and 400-level. Too picky and tough grader, but is very funny and makes the class interesting and you learn a lot. If you ant easy class and high GPA stay away then.

Oh my lord. For a class that I completely failed out of, I never learned more. Prof. Augis is very passionate about her job and wants her students to learn. I found her discussions compelling. The good stuff ends there, she is a VERY strict grader and expects perfection out of your essays. Stay away unless you want to be truly challenged.

Comment:

She is one of the worst professor I have ever had. She is hypocritical, ignorant, elitist, and insufferable. She believes all her students are 19 year olds with no other obligation. She missed 5 sessions of class but gives lectures about students attending class. If you have trouble dealing with people who are idiotic or ridiculous do not take her

She is very tough grader, and very strict when it comes to thesis statement, grammar & spelling. However, she is willing to help if you go to for help (appointments). Lots of readings, 6 quizzes, 6 essays, one long paper, and bunch of other assignments. Still teaches well, very funny and interesting class. Took her for Soc. of Race-relations.

An all around amazing person. I cannot think of one bad thing to say about this woman, anyone who has said something negative about her here really needs to reevaluate their lives. Go to class & give it your all & you're guaranteed a good grade. Best teacher Ive ever had, hands down. She provides detailed directions for all papers which really help

Comment:

Wonderful professor! You have to experience one of her classes to truly appreciate how great she is. No other Sociology professor at Ramapo even comes close to her quality of instruction, care for students, and the amount you will learn. Even if Sociology isn't your bag, I recommend taking Prof. Augis once while you're here. You won't regret it!

She will push and critique u in the most honest way but it will be worth it b/c she will prepare you for the real world, make u a smart worker & help u become more intellectual. She is passionate about her work & never accepts half ass. If you want to walk away a better & smarter person, TAKE HER. You might cry at times, but you won’t regret it.

Prof. Augis is one of the best professors I've had yet. She holds high standards for her students, but you absolutely learn a lot. She also likes to talk about things that can help you throughout college, and she is always there for her students to help them with papers, and more. She's really a great professor.

I've had Professor Augis for two terms and she is a fantastic, wonderful professor. Yes, there is a lot of reading but if you pay attention you will learn so much. She chooses her texts with care so that students get the most out of the class, not just a worthless grade. Take her!!

Comment:

Professor never goes over the readings until after the exams are taken. We went over a 400 page book in 2 class periods. I tried to ask for help, her response was "helping you would be telling you the answers" I dropped the class because I didn't learn anything. She is strict about attendance, yet she shows up late a lot and is very rude at times.

She is extremely helpful and expects a lot from her students. She pushes you and expects a lot and is willing to help. Yes she is strict but she wants to help prepare make you into a better student and future worker, not just get you through the class but to be a professional.

Comment:

Professor Augis is probably the best professor I've had. She holds high standards but outlines exactly what she wants you to do on the syllabus. I say take her, but make sure you go to class and do the readings and assignments on time.
