SOC134 . Tober T L 2 Years Ago

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!

SOC134 . Tober T L 4 Years Ago

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.

SOC122 . Tober T L 5 Months Ago

Literally the best prof I've had at UCSB. weekly quizzes on readings, 2 essays and 1 final op ed. She dropped 2 quizzes which helped me a lot. She is so real and I appreciate her openness with the material. Lots of respect for her.

SOC1 . Tober T L 6 Months Ago

Lectures were pretty interesting, and Tober is a very engaging lecturer. Weekly homework quizzes were based off of a reasonable amount of textbook reading, but this weekly work can all be done within an hour. Graded by a midterm, final, project, and the HW quizzes, which are all easy given a little bit of effort. Overall, recommend for an easy GE.

SOC1 . Tober T L 7 Months Ago

I would HIGHLY suggest taking Tober for soc 1 if you have the chance! The only reason I received the grade I got i because I didn't study as hard as I could have. Amazing TA's and an amazing class. She never fails to engage with her class and make them excited to learn about soc 1. Theres 1 midterm test and an essay paper then a final.
