I was surprised to see that there's more bad ratings. Kornberg is a very laid-back and kind professor. Her lectures aren't necessary, but it's not bad to go to and there's stuff on the exams that aren't in the textbook. As long as you read the textbooks and take the effort to understand the content, this course is not hard at all.

If you don't have great memorization, don't take this class. She did not give study guides, so it was difficult to focus on a few topics for the exams. Instead, I had to study everything from the textbooks, slides, and notes from guest speakers. Grading is stingy. I got a 21/25 on my paper despite putting so much effort and time into it.

Sociology 1 was very easy. It is a textbook-driven class, therefore, you could skip out on attending lectures. 1 midterm, 1 final, and 1 essay. Although lecture attendance isn't necessary and you could get by not going, she does sometimes put things on the exams that aren't in the book. Only downside is the lack of content in her slides.

Dana Kornberg is a great professor! Don't let her score on here scare you. She is a very flexible grader and as long as you understand the concept of what she's saying, take good notes, and read the textbook you'll succeed! I found her very passionate and understanding, she even curved the final because some people didn't do so good.

The class isnt that hard, youll have to show up to sections which dont help at all with midterm or final, midterm was pretty easy, and for the final there were a few curveballs. Got an 89.5 in the class and the professor makes it seem as if its against the law to give slight extra credit when the class is just a GE but whatever.

I really enjoyed SOC 1! The exams were extremely straight forward, with clear expectations on what should be studied. I'm not exactly sure why reviews for Kornberg are so low - my friend and I who both took the class agreed that the essay and tests were easy if you follow the study guide and read the textbook chapters.
