SOC124 . Arenas Velazq 2 Months Ago

Gives extra credit! She is very passionate and educated on the topics she discusses. I have taken two classes with her so far and always enjoy her lectures. Always tries to get to know her students and is very kind.

SOC-10 . Arenas Velazq 8 Months Ago

Very unorganized and a lot of uneccesary busy work. I stopped coming to class around week 3 and did fine.

SOC124 . Arenas Velazq 1 Year, 28 Days Ago

Graded by 5 quizzes, in-class assignments (open and close for the duration of class, but can be completed anywhere), an in-depth interview, and a paper. The prof is very passionate about immigration, but did not present the material well at all. When she lectured it was confusing and other days she played films or had a guest. Offers extra credit.

SOC108A . Arenas Velazq 1 Year, 3 Months Ago

The professor was whatever. Not very organized, always messed up due dates, and was not very accessible. There were 2 TAs; unfortunately, the one I had was also not very good. She was never clear but tough at grading. I would never take a class with her again. She's a sweet lady, but not a very good lecturer.

SOC108A . Arenas Velazq 2 Years Ago

She gives about 5% of extra credit out so that's a huge plus ik a few people who got over 100% in this class. Big. impacts are buying the textbook, 2 research papers (Quant & Qual), and 2 attempt online quizzes. Lecture isn't too important to attend very skippableThere are in-class assignments but you can just do them at home. Quant paper is hard
