SOC153 . 2 Months Ago

Based on the other reviews I was expecting an extremely difficult class. It was not. Super easy, simple. Just do what you're asked and you'll do good. Mine was online/summer sesh and the material was a bit boring, but not horrible, you'll survive. 1 midterm (2 short answer questions), 1 final (essay), & attendance. I feel like they graded easy.

Dr. Segura is extremely old, lacks any knowledge of basic technology, and yaps about whatever her heart desires instead of teaching. She tries to be "woke" but has no idea about any of the things she is supposedly teaching about. It is truly painful every time I have to step foot in her class and you couldn't pay me to take it again. Also rude asf.

Professor Segura was a very nice lady, but her class was a complete disaster. It ended up being online, which made things even worse rather then easier. We would get assignments back 5 weeks after we turned it in. It was just really bad. She is very passionate on the topic but the structure needs a lot of fixing. Also the TA was a HARD grader.

Extremely biased, one-sided arguments presented in this class. Makes a class about the roles of women in society into a class about racial inequality, totally ridiculous and not what the course description says. Attendance is MANDATORY - grade drops 1/2 of a letter for EACH unexcused absence. Ridiculous 15 min in class assignments every so often.
