Comment:

Zengie is a pretty great professor! I took her last semester for Race & Ethnic Relations, and Global Experience this semester. She is lecture heavy, but they are relatively interesting and the projects she assigns are also pretty interesting. She does give out study guides for tests, and if you study them you will do well! Great SOCI prof, take her

Professor Zangie is the best. lectures are long and boring but she always tries to make it interesting. class is quiet nobody talks but if you show up and take notes you'll pass. study guide is exactly the same as test.

Comment:

Easy A. Classroom was a weird vibe tho. 3 easy tests, 2 easy papers, and a debate. She was very knowledgeable and passionate on the subject. Do not buy the book but make sure you find a recent copy of it to look over for the debate. She wasnt my fav prof ever but she is very nice and the workload is manageable for a gen ed requirement.

Comment:

The material was interesting but her methods of grading is not good and is not much help when you ask her. If you need extra time on something she will compare you to other students and will not give you the option. She doesn't understand that other people are different and not everyone processes the same. Do not take her, there are others to take

Comment:

She's such a sweet lady. If you show up, take notes of her powerpoints, and do the homework (there are only three writing assignments all semester), you will get an A. She sends a study guide with exactly what is on each test and the answers come directly from her powerpoints. I didn't buy either textbook and have never felt at a disadvantage.

great professor, just make sure you take notes for your tests. She gives study guides and they're exactly like the test. Her lectures are very powerful and you'll be very interested into the course and you'll get an easy grade! There's a group presentation at the end of class and you pretty much decide your groups. Dont need your text book

Very Easy A if you show up and take good notes. She provides you with a study guide that tells you exactly what will be on the quiz and all the answers come from the PowerPoint she presents. There is one "debate" at some point in the semester. Don't need to buy the book. Basically come to class, sit there, take notes and you should get an A.

Comment:

I have had her three times and each time the book she used a good amount but was VERY dry and confusing. the content she teaches is very easy and not challenging. nobody talks in her class so just keeps blabbering hoping people will talk. on the plus side she plays a lot of videos and her study guides are pretty helpful.all T/F exams!

Very interesting and easy class. Had her for sociology 101. Tests were almost identical to the study guide. Gives out a few papers, mostly easy. Does not take attendance and I did not buy the book, although it would've been helpful for the first paper. She is very nice and the class is definitely very easy.

Took and online class with her had an A, she lost my first test and had me retake it, she did not how to repost the test online and when i could not access it, sent me a nasty email as if it was my fault. She did not take responsibility for losing the test and dropped me down to a B. Shes incompetent!

Took Race and Ethnic Relations. Very nice and friendly teacher. Her accent is hard to understand so make sure you sit up front. Work included a group project and three tests. Some webct work but it was easy enough. Ended up with an A. Easy!
