College3rd time taking her. She's great! Sometimes she would have classwork to submit, but you should just attend class to receive credit. Quizzes were confusing sometimes, but overall was fine. Group project at the end of the year where we had to organize our own social movement and include class concepts. Def a more lenient and caring professor!
very chill class. attendence is not mandatory, but part of our grade is in-class group work (not that bad) assigned on random days. grade book was weekly online quizzes that were very easy, in-class assignments, one book report, and a final project that could be done in a group where you create a social movement proposal. she makes it very doable.
two required textbooks and weekly reading quizzes. a book review for midterm and final group project instead of final exam. this is my third class with tara tober and she's an amazing professor. interesting class too, so i would highly recommend.
Overall she was a good professor. Attendance wasn't mandatory and it was easy to follow along if you weren't able to make it to class. She assigned 3 papers on social movements and weekly quizzes that were easy if you did the readings. I would take her again!
Easily my favorite lecturer that I have taken multiple classes with at UCSB. Keeps class engaging, interesting readings and videos, and super flexible concerning students and their worries. Typical workload for a sociology class, gotta work for that A but it isn't impossible to get.
easy, a few papers and midterm and final. if you pay attention in lecture and do the readings your good
