Comment:

She is good at explaining the subject. Class can be a bit dull if you don't like soc. I liked her and her class a lot. She does have pop quizzes but you only need 4 and some are online. EC point for participation which can help in the end.

Comment:

I'm considering dropping my Crim. Justice minor because of how confusing Soc230 is. The material isn't even that bad, it's just the disorganization of De Boer that makes it unstainable. She doesn't make a new d2l class for every semester so there's notes on there from years ago, and I don't know what assignments are required. VERY CONFUSING

Seems like a nice person and can have helpful moments, but overall not a good lecturer. Doesn't use the full class time but will not cover materials and/or push back exams. She laughs at inappropriate times and overall is unorganized. Slides and tests have errors that make them difficult to understand. Gives a ton of EC that helps out your grade.

Comment:

Great personality, seems genuinely kind. She is upbeat and energetic so it made coming to class a pleasure. Unfortunately it seems like she has a really busy life, very disorganized, would post things from her other classes on D2L by mistake and is not very responsive to emails. She also no-shows to class or forgets her office hour appointments.

Comment:

Go to class and you'll pass with an A. Tests are easy. Nice person and lectures are easy. Don't take that many notes, won't need them to pass tests. Lots of extra credit options in class. Drops one out of four exams so you don't need to take final if you don't want.

Comment:

There are not enough characters for me to explain how bad she is. She forgot that she had a class to teach, skips over half the powerpoint, exams are based on the textbook which she refuses to go over, laughs at inappropriate times. Her voice is annoying and she is quite rude. Also never responds to emails when needed. Takes forever to grade.

Comment:

Very boring class. Attendance is not mandatory seeing as she never fully goes over the slides in class, skips around a ton, and posts all of the slides on D2L. (Does throw in pop quizzes but tells you when usually) Very hard to listen to lecture. She also always does this fake laugh and says right?? all the time. It will drive you nuts.

Comment:

Cancelled class often - sometimes very last minute. Exams were confusing with errors. Does not check her emails even after she says she will. Loses work - SAVE EVERYTHING YOU DO. Indirectly pushes her values onto the class - someone actually complained about this.

Comment:

Has no clue how to lecture, often gets confuse (scatter brained) Makes assumptions that you already know course material. DOES NOT actually teach anything! She makes you volunteer 20 hours of service, which doesn't even relate to the course. EXTREMELY frustrating professor. Will AVOID at all costs! I did not learn a single thing in this course.

Comment:

Professor DeBoer is very sweet and will go out of her way to clarify or give you more information outside of class. Took her class my freshman year and I did not mind going to class every day, and she was very understanding when I needed to miss a few classes for personal reasons. Class films and material were interesting and not a bad work load.

She is one of my favorite professors. Just like other professors, if you give her respect, she will give you the same respect. She is hard to contact through email sometimes, but if you really need to see her just go to her office hours. Great professor.

Comment:

Only 1 real lecture per week. Other is a "hybrid" class which usually amounts to watching a 1 hr documentary and summarizing it. Exams are easy. Doesn't have a Criminal Justice background, even though she teaches Criminology, but says she has family on both sides of the law. Classes are still somewhat interesting.

Comment:

She is very disorganized with her lectures. She also shows a lot of films in class without discussing the topics before hand. We didn't really cover everything on her power point slides. One good thing about her is that she gives a good amount of extra credit. Otherwise, don't take her if you don't have to. :/

Comment:

She is a horrible professor! When people ask me who the worst prof is at this school, I automatically think of her. She is just so mean. I went to her office hour to talk about my paper and she yelled at me because I had not made an appointment. But when I asked to come back later, she yelled at me to not.(She doesn't require appointments for that)
