SOC134 . Tober T L 7 Days Ago

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.

Dr. Tober is amazing I hope to have her again in a future class. Lectures felt unnecessary at times since she only emphasized weekly reading material, but I enjoyed them. Weekly quizzes and readings were simple, be on top of your one paper and you'll be fine. Take studying for midterm and final seriously since they way a ton in grade book!!

I didn't really go to lecture because most of it is a repeat of the textbook (section is too, but that's mandatory) and sometimes she gets into stories so long that you can't get through the lesson. Weekly reading quizzes, one midterm, one paper, and the final. The content is interesting and not difficult to understand. Overall very easy GE
