Comment:

At first I only attended a few lectures throughout the whole semester. It was okay, her lectures were boring and made me not want to attend lectures anymore. I just stuck to doing the assignments online which was HEAVY. It took a lot of my time and having loads of homework every week. This is a class that makes you work for it and know the content.

Comment:

I never showed up to her lectures... I only did the work she posted online and passed with flying colors. I did attend one lecture but it was so boring that there was no point in wasting my time listening to her repeat the textbook. However, she does give lots of extra credit and as well as extends deadlines to fit students' schedules!

Comment:

Twyla is the type of teacher who probably grew up with nuns slapping her hands with rulers, and she reciprocates that kind of teaching to her kids. She is very knowledgeable about the subject of sociology, she does not do well to convey that knowledge on to her students. You will have a hard time paying attention to her monotone voice.

Comment:

She has no understanding that her class is a gen ed and people dont like sociology as much as she does. Every class is lecture heavy, all tests are multiple chapters, and she gives no study material. There isn't mandatory attendance, but there are days where she takes attendance and gives bonus points. Dont take her class.

Comment:

Her voice is extremely similar to Prof. Umbridge in Harry Potter, which is high pitched and condescending. She gives extra credit throughout the course but she treats her students and runs her class room like were in 2nd grade. I did not use the book at all but her tests are very specific, including quotes from herself at one point. Not worth it.

Comment:

Dr. Hill has the most annoying voice. It makes you zone out when you do decide to attend class. You can get a C if you put the definitions in a quizlet and look over the textbook. Otherwise, youll need to attend class and read the textbook to receive an A. Shes a harsh grader and her writing assignments are boring. This class is mediocre.

Comment:

Do yourself a favor and don't take a class by Twyla. I'm a great student with a 3.8 gpa. I had a high A throughout the class, but was dropped to a B after she graded my final paper. SHE IS AN INCREDIBLY HARD GRADED WITH ZERO SUBSTANCE. She gave little feedback that didn't help me learn from my "mistakes" she claimed I made.

Comment:

For Sociology 101 Dr. Hill seems tough at first, but she is a very intelligent woman who cares especially if you do as well. She gives lectures, mostly terminology. Tests are given based on those notes and she gives ample extra credit. There are several papers but mostly opinion based on your experience. Come to class if you are expecting class wor

Twyla grades easy until the main paper. She is a mess when it comes fairness. Don't miss a class she gives assignments and you can't make them up, even if you were sick and excused from class. DULL and early and labs are useless.

Comment:

Twyla is a nightmare. Completely incompetent - doesn't know how to grade objectively, make lecture slides, or even use Blackboard properly. She loves taking off points on papers and giving no reasonable justification. Avoid her classes.

Comment:

She was very scatter brained. She would say one thing and then randomly come back to talk about it again 30 minutes later. She did not answer questions very well, even if you didn't understand what she was trying to explain. If you were caught talking (even to a neighbor about notes) she will yell at you. Difficult to pay attention, very boring.

Comment:

READ YOUR BOOK IF YOU WANT AN A.. she offers to help you with your first test if you did horrible and she takes it into consideration for your final grade. She kept to her word. Although I had to prove myself throughout the semester I got an A. Annoying voice!!! Take it from someone else if you can!

Comment:

This class was very easy to me. Just show up to class regularly and take notes. Do read the book, all of the information for tests are either in the reading or lectures. This class is NOT hard. The workload is low. There are rarely any assignments. She also gives extra credit for attendance. I would love to have her as a teacher again.

Comment:

This class was ridiculous. Dr. Hill was not very helpful and the class was not at all interesting. It was painful to sit through and I deeply regret not taking it in high school, as I would have learned more.

I took her class 2 years ago. If you study the lecture notes you will definitely get a good grade. She is very organized. I went through her class w/out a book and still did very well on the test and got a good grade for the class.

Comment:

She should teach high school. You aren't allowed to leave before the class is scheduled out and if you talk at all she will yell at you. I felt like I was in the 9th grade again. She also have a very annoying voice. Maybe I should be clearer...a VERY VERY VERY annoying voice. She is an OK teacher though.
