SOC-173 . 5 Months Ago

She seemed nice but the class was confusing. I just didn't know what we were learning when and it just felt like random topics. She used iClicker to make sure u went to class which was kind of annoying because she just read off slides that she posts later anyway. The essays were graded nicely but the test was a little hard because it was so random.

I would not recommend taking a class with her if you have the option. Her lectures were her reading off the slides and so insanely hard to follow. Every "point" she would make never had a conclusion and she said "um" and "uhhh" every other word. I honestly had to leave class so many times mid-lecture because it was so frustrating to listen to.

Do not take this course. Anyone who has taken her would agree that she is not even educated on what she is teaching. Reads directly off of her slides the entire lecture and expects the class to elaborate on what is on her slides. And this is the biggest thing, this prof says the words umm or uhhh maybe 450 times throughout an hour long lecture.

SOC-121LS . 8 Months Ago

The professor is very kind and knowledgeable but the way the class is graded is somewhat frustrating as you have to essentially get a perfect score on every single assignment to get an A. I found the material very interesting but as there aren't many assignments, it is easy for your grade to slip with missing attendance or participation points.

Class is an easy A, but the lectures felt long, and there were awkward silences sometimes. She kinda just reads off the slides the whole time or had guest lecturers. I don't know how to explain it, but her personality was off-putting and just not super genuine. She is a new professor, so I guess she's still figuring out how to teach the class.

super boring. lectures are just read off a slideshow. easy work but the professor is one of the more boring ive ever had. I felt like this could've been a really interesting class if it was taught by a more passionate and engaging professor. I literally plat block blast all class to keep from falling asleep.
