CollegeI love Tara! SOC 146 Collective Memory was a great class and quite interesting. We haven't gotten our grades back yet, but I am projected to get an A. Easy, short readings. Group assignments at least once a week in class. 2 papers that were very manageable and an in-person final.
she hates critical thinkers
She's honestly an amazing professor. Weekly quizzes, mandatory lecture and section attendance. If you listen and do the readings, you should be good.
Prof. Tober is a good professor, interesting lecturer, and a kind person. However, readings were complete regurgitations of the lectures, all from the same textbook and pretty boring. Just barely scratched the surface of pretty rudimentary concepts. Group project worth 15% and my group was illiterate. Easy MC midterm and final.
Class was fairly easy, if you memorize the key terms and concepts at the end of the chapters you will be fine. She's pretty nice and accommodating and it's clear she really loves the subject.
Heavy reading class. Weekly quizzes on the textbook material. Lecture material is different but important, too. iClicker for attendance. Sometimes a lecture can get boring because it feels like "common sense." TAs are nice, mine just summarized. One final small group project. The midterm and final were the same format, but not the easiest.
