I really enjoyed her class and thought it was very educational, frustrating during the middle of a pandemic when obviously many are struggling to adjust wont offer anything for a 1% grade bump in my case.

Such a great professor! Be ready for a lot of discussions but they are ones that make you think and really are worth the effort. There are not a lot of papers but the ones you do have matter. Take the time to read all the extra resources she provides as they are invaluable. Her teaching style is hands on and she engaged with the class a lot.

Comment:

I could not recommend Professor Camelot enough for anyone seeking to take future Sociology courses at Saddleback. Her online class was very well organised and easy to follow. Only 1 discussion board a week, as well as 2 papers. She assigns 3 tests throughout the course, all covered by material she assigns. Very easy to pass.

Im currently taking her Intro to Sociology 8 week class. She seems very passionate based on her written lectures. Be ready for a heavy work load- last Sunday, a 5 page essay was due. This week, we have 45-50 lecture notes, 2 articles, 3 days of discussion, 5+ videos, and a 60 question test. Next week, we have an 8 page essay due plus course work.

Comment:

I took her class as a GE requirement. I'm sure that she is a nice person but she did not help me one bit when I asked for it. She takes a couple days to answer then her answer doesn't even help. She had no example of discussion boards and once you posted something, you couldn't rewrite it. There was no study guides for tests. Very Stressful!!!!

Camelot is a great professor! She tells you exactly what she expects & wants from the very beginning. Do not get me wrong, it is a lot of work but in a 10 week online class that is to be expected. Do the work, try your best and listen to her suggestions! I really feel like I learned something so no regrets here.

The syllabus is clear, so that is good. The research papers are somewhat difficult.

Comment:

This professor expects post-grad level participation and work from undergrad students. When you ask questions she will tell you to just look it up instead of give you answers, she won't even direct you as to where you could find answers. She is a tough grader and her essays will be graded far beyond things listed in the rubric. She is just awful.

Comment:

Camelot is one of the best teachers Ive had. For an online class she was super engaged with us, lectures and expectations perfectly clear. Highly organized and she really takes the time to help extract the concepts we are learning by participating in our discussions. Quizzes and exams open book but the papers are what matter.

This class is a lot of work, but it is fairly easy. It is a very good class to take for credit, and you also learn a lot. Professor Camelot is a great instructor and gives really good feedback on papers. Overall, I highly recommend this class.

Comment:

Professor Camelot's study guide only has terms that we should know in depth for the exam. There are 3 exams and they are not cumulative. Also, there are two major papers. Make sure you read all of the lectures, chapters, and watch the videos in order to pass the exams. They are 70 multiple-choice questions and worth 35 points each.

Comment:

I shouldve done it pass no pass. There are 2 heavy essays for an INTRODUCTION class. Her outlines are clear however she marks you off for things that she does NOT mention in her outline. So if you follow the outline to a T you will still do poorly. I was so upset, take a different teacher or GE.

Comment:

This was an online class. It is heavily discussion-based with 3 exams, 2 papers, and 1 discussion board per week. Since this was an 8-week class, it was fast-paced, meaning a lot of chapters to read per week. Sometimes 2 chapters per week, but can go up to four or five. Replies quick to emails. You need to participate in discussion for 2 to 3 days.

Comment:

Come to class because if you miss even 1 assignment it will seriously hurt your grade. The class is very straightforward but her criteria for papers and HW makes the material way more complicated than it needs to be. She micromanages the class and talks to students like high school freshman which can be frustrating. Try to take online if you can.

Comment:

Prof. Camelot is what you call a conflict theorist as she describes. She loves to focus on how unequal everything is for women and "minorities" instead of emphasizing different parts of the science itself. If you're anything close to conservative Camelot is not the teacher for you. Get ready to hear some sjw family stories and how "bad" society is.

Professor Camelot was AMAZING - intelligent, knowledgeable, fun & entertaining. I took her for Intro. to Sociology. Like most classes, just show up, take notes off the lectures, do a little light reading, turn in weekly hw. & she even gives out extra credit! Seriously if you want to buff up your GPA & you'll do the work take her!! She's RAD!! :)

Took this class as an online course. It is manageable but the discussion boards are so often that it was often hard to keep up. Also not understanding in the least when it comes to not being able to post or having difficulties posting. Will just brush you off and do nothing to help you. Dont take this class unless you have a LOT of free time.

Took as a 4 year uni student. Unorganized professor. Does not post assignments in a timely manner. Requires a lot of participation for a lower level class. Assignments are vague & she will not clarify. Not accessible; spent class talking about her newfound veganism. Not open to dissenting opinions. Would not recc unless you have lots of free time

I took Professor Camelots Sociology 1 course online over the summer and it is a class I would recommend to anyone trying to complete their GEs. It is relatively a small amount of work and the tests are very easy. Take this course for an easy A.
