Her lecturers were very boring but was overall a decent class. Her accent was a bit hard to understand at times. Had easy ten question quizzes every week where you could use your book and notes. Extra credit is offered.

Comment:

Dr. Sabolich is knowledgable, but her presentation is dull and her accent is difficult at times. As long as you do the reading & hw, and show up to the review class before the exams, you'll be fine. If you're really worried, there is an extra credit assignment. I missed about a third of the classes and got a 98%. Leave early & she'll hunt you down!

Dr. Sabolich is a good professor, and really knows what she is talking about. Her accent, for me, was a little hard to get used to but that wasn't a huge problem. There are online quizzes every week that are super easy so don't forget to do them. She takes her class very serious and does not like when you try to leave early.

Dr Sabolich is one of the best professors ive had so far. She walks around the lecture hall a lot and makes it feel like a small classroom. she does hunt you down if you leave early! Her exams are kinda hard but not impossible. Shes very accessible too if you need to talk to her. Youll have to buy the online textbook to do homework tho. (80$)

Dr. Sabolich is a very endearing professor who is very passionate about the material in this class. Although she only lectures during the meeting times, she makes it quite interactive and filled with videos/discussions in order to get us to think about the class.

Great teacher, is passionate about what she teaches. Quick and easy quizzes every week, 3 exams (including final) and offers extra credit. Participation isn't required, but make sure you get the notes and attend review sessions. Not much you could complain about with her!

attending lecture wasn't mandatory and sometimes she posted the powerpoints online but for the most part, the class is an easy A. She basically tells you everything you need to know for an exam the class before so it's important to go to those.

She is very funny and cares about what she is teaching. She has an accent, but it is pretty easy to understand her. Her lectures can get boring, but make sure you have the notes. The class perform the exam she has a review session and tells you exactly what to know. Great teacher overall. I learned a lot.

Basically just a lecture every class and attendance is not mandatory. She sometimes posts the PowerPoints online, but don't count on it. She really cares about her students and walks around to talk to you before class. Exams aren't too difficult and there's a huge extra credit assignment.

Comment:

Dr Sabolich is so sweet and really cares about her students. She is funny and loves to make jokes on personal stories in her lectures. While attendance isnt mandatory, she does not post her powerpoints most weeks to make sure you are getting the information in the classroom. She also does have an accent but you get used to it quickly!

She can be funny at times and she often tells stories and gets class participation, which I really appreciated. If it was a smaller class, I probably would have enjoyed her as a professor more. Her powerpoints were sometimes confusing, which made note taking and studying a bit harder.

I took Dr. Sabolich for Intro to Soc and she is a good professor. She is a little hard to understand at times. GO TO CLASS. the only way to get the notes is by showing up to her lectures. DO the extra credit, its so easy and a serious grade changer. Whatever you do, don't leave a lecture early, she will literally chase you down. Overall, good prof.

Comment:

I had Dr. Sabolich for Intro to Sociology and she was fantastic. In a 300 person lecture, she somehow made the auditorium feel like a small room. She's very passionate about sociology and is very connected with her students. Be sure to sit close to the front: she's Croatian and her accent's heavy. There are chapter quizzes on revel and three exams

Amazing professor. Her accent wasn't hard for me to understand at all. She was super funny and knowledgeable about sociology and she made the class fun. Her reviews are basically the exam and she doesn't post them so make sure you go to class. She also chases you out of class and drags you back if you try to leave early which I found hilarious

Thick accent so kind of hard to understand. You really have to pay attention to the lecture slides to do well on tests. Somethings on exams aren't talked about

Her accent is thick, but it is easy to understand once you get used to it. She is very caring about her students and passionate abut the subject. Take advantage of the extra credit. It will help you out in the end. NEVER miss class on exam review days, she goes over exactly what will be on the exams. It is an easy A if you put effort in.

Comment:

Her power point presentations for her notes are formatted in a weird way that makes them hard to understand. If you want to do well, it would be best to read the book because some things are hard to understand. There are only three exams so if you do bad on one, it is hard to get your grade up, even with the extra credit, which she is picky about.

She chases after people who leave her class early! But she has a Russian/Croatian accent but still understandable. She can be funny at times and doesn't give a Final in into to soc!

Comment:

She's really nice and funny but her power points are broken English and she's a little hard to understand. She only had three exams and no study guide for them so it's hard to get your grade up if you don't test well. Her study sessions give at least 10 questions that will be on the exam so go to that if you can!
