She's a great person. There's just something a tad bit off about her. Can't put my finger on it; got an A, so I really don't care. Take her so you can see what I mean.

Comment:

Dr. Smith is a wonderful teacher! There are 4 tests, one short response paper, and a project. The "final" is the 4th test and is over the last unit and not cumulative. The lectures were interesting. You can miss class (attendance is 10% of your grade), however, she does give specifics that are not in the textbook that are on the exams.

Comment:

Bias when talking about Social-Conflict theory. lets her political point of view get in the way of what we learn. I dont mind a professor who speaks about their point of view (even if i dont agree with it) but not when we learn false and misleading information about topics covered in class. Also doesnt listen to any students disagreeing with her.

Comment:

Great professor! There were 3 tests including final (not cumulative) & a group project (3+ ppl applying a sociological theory/concepts to a film). Her power points are emailed, but I suggest going to class because some power points include ?s that she answers in class. Focus on theories & trends & study notes/power points. Tests were m.c. & fair.

She is an amazing professor. She sends you the power points and will go over it in class. You really need to read the chapters and study if you want to pass her tests. Only 3 tests. One group project. Would take again. She also gives extra credit

Comment:

She's really sweet and quirky. You MUST study the power points and read the parts in the chapter that she tells you to. Tests are 50 questions;STRAIGHT from the sections she tells you to read. She makes it easy and interesting to understand society. She is a great teacher! Show up, suit up, read and you will make an A.

AT FIRST WHEN WE STARTED I DIDNT START OFF GOOD THEN TOWARDS THE MIDDLE AND END I GOT MY GRADE UP. POINT IS U HAVE TO STUDY HER POWERPOINT AND READ THE BOOK. I RECOMMEND READING THE END OF THE CHAPTER SUMMARY AND BACK OF THE BOOK TEST QUESTIONS. ALOT OF STUFF COMES FROM THERE! SHE'S GREAT! I PASSED WITH A B :) HAPPY!

Comment:

She's really nice and quirky. If you don't study the power points and read the chapters you won't pass this class. Only 3 tests and a group presentation and final. Tests are 50 questions. Kind of tricky. Lots of theory, some definition and rest is application. She's not very assertive so class talks a lot and everyone tells life stories. Worst part

Great class, great professor. Dr. Smith makes class fun by incorporating group discussions. Her pp coincide with the tests and it doesn't hurt to review the chapter prior to the tests since some of the material does come from the book. I highly recommend this class and Dr. Smith.

The only people who thought her class was boring are the "BUMPS on the log" who sat in the back of the class! Her teaching style is "discussion". I made an A+ and NEVER opened the book. Seriously. Take her class--you won't regret it.

I liked Professor Smith. Her her class is very interesting. She keeps us involved in the discussions, and shows videos to go along with what she is teaching. It is a very easy grade, if you follow her powerpoint handouts through the chapters in the book you will make an A. I recommend her class, it's interesting and she's really nice.

Sign up for the class expecting a great professor who will be interested in teaching, I was wrong. All the professor did was pushed buttons for the power point. She talks about theories alot. Her test were hard and they are 50 questions each. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR, RUN!!!!!!!!!!

Professor Smith is a very nice lady. She is helpful and very kind if you talk to her she will work with you. The class can be boring sometimes, and her test is kind hard but if you attend class, she gives a lot of extra credits. I love her.

Teacher is NOT helpful if you ask for help. Her teaching is not clear. Tests are difficult. You really need to use the book and read every word of it. Very biased when talking about inequality, and politics. Would not recommend.
