She is Honestly very rude I'm currently taking her for Sociology of Education and she ignored my hand while it was up despite no one else raising their hand and she threw a candy at my group member because she asked one of us to talk in front of the class and none of us wanted to do it ( I didn't want to because she blatantly ignored me ).

LOVE ELENA! Her lectures are super interesting and shes very passionate about her lectures. She's so sweet and it's evident she cares about her students and wants us to do well. However, weekly group slides are graded by TA and their response can be tedious and critical.

There aren't any words I can describe this class, I extremely love this class, wish I could take her for my entire UCSB year, even know I have struggles regarding the environment, identity, registration but from her class, I feel passion, relatable, kind, and love if you just talk with her, she will always answer and solve a problem that you have.

Took SOC185C with her which was more heavy with work compared to previous classes I've taken with her. Weekly quizzes and discussion posts, one presentation, and a group final project. Definitely manageable, but DON'T FALL BEHIND!!

Easy work, but group work is a big part of your overall grade. Take her!

Easy class overall. The structure of the class is confusing in the beginning but shes always open to answer questions. Group work is a HUGE part of the course, so pray you'll get good partners. Group ppt projects and 2 discussion posts per week. It sounds like a lot but its manageable. Meets in person for lecture 1x/week. Accepts regraded work
