SOC108C . Tober T L 5 Months Ago

Probably the most passionate professor I've had in a while. Wish she was a little clearer on certain topics in content analysis (finding your research question and literature review), but giving us a content analysis research project on a subject of our choice was really fun. Quizzes were a little tedious but read and you'll be fine.

SOC108C . Tober T L 6 Months Ago

I love Professor Tober!! I have her for Soc108C and Soc185C this quarter. She has made me never want to skip a class and I stay engaged through content heavy lectures because of the way she presents it! Her classes have truly reignited my passion for sociology and research Grading can be hard but if you study and attend class your fine.

SOC108C . Tober T L 9 Months Ago

Loved Tober! Material was not boring at all and I always found the lectures entertaining. I got an A in the class - it was quite easy, we had a good TA too. This was one of the only classes that I enjoyed the reading for!!!

SOC108C . Tober T L 2 Years Ago

Professor Tober made this class much easier to understand. We had 5 assignments total and a lot of time is giving to complete them, and we go over a lot of it in class and in section. Attendance is not mandatory but going to class would make it much easier. Shes the best!

SOC108C . Tober T L 6 Years Ago

Dr. Tober is absolutely the best! I transferred in as a SOC major and was hating the profs in the department. She turned things around for me. She's passionate about the field and her research. Attendance is taken every week, 1 fairly easy online reading quiz per week, and final is a research project which includes every other week assignments.
