She is one of the worst professors I have ever had in my whole academic career. I would be graduating with the highest honors if she didn't grade my final horribly. I seriously don't even know how she still has a job here, no one learned anything from her stupid course. I hate her and she literally looks like a troll.
my answer HELL NO! every week have stupid group work, 2 pages at least, and make you to make your own podcast. This is very useless class unless you take it for graduation credit, you can learn nothing from this class. She just read the powerpoint. And she always think you don't come to class even you come and she will drop you!!
Can’t stress enough how good this class is!! Not a ton of work, it has a clear format every week. Lots of group work but I didn’t mind it because we fell into a routine. The professor is nice and her lectures and interesting. The readings aren’t really necessary except for the final paper
Took many of her courses! I don’t know why people have given her such low ratings, she was truly so nice and her class structure was easy to follow! Highly recommend for any of her courses
I have taken her 185, 164, and 145 and she maintained the same structure throughout all of them which was really helpful! She is really supportive and accommodating so don’t be scared to email her if you are struggling! Easy grader on papers and weekly quizzes made me continue taking her courses!
I took 4 of Dr. Raymond's classes & she has undoubtedly been my favorite professor; particularly because of how clear & organized she is. Weekly in 164 there's a mini 2-question mc quiz, 200 word forum post, 50 word "blog" post, & occasionally a group workshop. 1 final paper at the end of the quarter. Highly recommend.
One of the worst classes I've taken. Let's just say the Prof does not teach, just reads the PowerPoints and put way too much emphasis on group work rather than teaching. Never got back to any of my emails. Very dismissive of any argument that challenge her points. Teaches about the need of quality education while halfassing her own classes content
Don't take this class. I took it because her rating was average but its not worth it. Lots of group work, a giant research paper. Very frustrating trying to ask her questions. Guidelines for topics and articles for research don't make sense. She just links a bunch of reading and doesn't contribute anything new to her lectures, TA does all the work.
Do not take this class with this professor! You will definitely regret it later on! The fact that there are mean people in my group, though which I told my prof about this and she said that I would have to drop her class if I cant work with a group. The prof is crazy and does not teach us anything of anything at all!! Didnt learn anything from her!
Do not take this class. Be prepared for a lot of group work. Her group workshops are horrible and she does not let me work independently. Tough grader and hard to switch groups and to work independently. She tells me working independently is not a option. Believe me! It is a option! She does not address us clearly and doesnt help me at all!
Prof is mediocre, mand. attendance but she just reads off of PowerPoint, for a class talking about gender inequalities she's very one-sided on issues and dismisses students who bring up a different pov. Weekly forums, 3 min quizzes 2 qs each, and group workshops. Also 3 ec opportunities. class isn't hard but I'm disappointed on the one-sidedness
I really enjoyed her class! Her layout is easy to follow, she's very understanding, and her TA's are super helpful! You work in a group for the entire quarter and help each other out in your research project and paper. Definitely will take her again!
We had 400 words to write each week on the subject - 2 academic articles to read and respond to and a gender exercise. Easy, interesting, and understandable material. One group project where we got to pick any gender inequality that we'd covered. No confusion with her expectations. It felt more like an asynchronous class. Met with the TA weekly.
I took Raymond for 108C online during fall 20. Lecture are all async, and they aren't necessary to watch for the class, but I would recommend them anyway because she is super knowledgable and presents super interesting material. Graded on a long project with multiple parts, she gives extremely specific instructions. Readings were mostly interesting
I dont understand why she gets bad ratings. Sure, theres pop quizzes and it can be a lot of work but it teaches you a lot about sociology. Shes super approachable, accommodating and fair. I highly recommend her!
This woman is AMAZING whether you take her for culture, methods, or cultural theory. She usually has a take home midterm and final essay. Pop quizzes that are not hard if you skim reading. PARTICIPATE SHE WILL REMEMBER YOU! Her lectures might seem long, but she really just wants you to learn. There isn't a reason you shouldn't take this class.
Attendance is about 30% of grade. Also pop quizzes very often so if you don't show up often I gurantee you will not pass. Show up and have done the reading for the day of and you will be solid. 1 midterm 5pg. paper and 1 5pg. final. Super easy. She just reads off lecture slides and goes super fast so hard to take good notes.
She just reads off of the PowerPoint slides, so I went to class about three times total but if you do the readings and write good essays, its a very easy A. I wish she would have a better method of teaching because this class had the potential to be super interesting but was just dull and boring.
Professor Raymond is really sweet. Although unorganized, she offers extra credit to those who ask and gave EC to students who attended class regularly. Pop quizzes were super easy just skim the reading before the lecture. No textbook, 2 papers and a group project. GP was an easy A you just had to present on an issue in education.
Raymond is overall nice, but her expectations are often confusing. She seems to improvise lesson plans a lot and just reads off of powerpoint slides that she then posts online. She has pop quizzes which makes attendance and reading mandatory. She assigned a group project that was poorly planned out and resulted in way more work than necessary.
Do not take this professor. She shows up to class and just reads from her boring slides. She doesn't prepare for class at all and it seems like she hasn't read her own slides in years. The material isn't challenging but she grades ridiculously hard. She is so unorganized and unclear about guidelines... avoid at all costs
took this class to satisfy my upper div elective credits and it was the worst mistake of my academic career. This teacher is so unorganized and the structure of the class is a sick joke. 2 papers, a group project, and a pop quiz on the readings every week that make up a majority of your grade. Graded group projects when she wasn't even there to see
One word: bad. I regret taking this class so much and its only week 3.. I'm sure she knows the content, but she just can't teach at all.. She reads off her slides really quickly then clicks past them so if you don't type 300 wpm, drop out. When it gets to the last 15 min of class, she looks at the time and says "ugh.. 8 more minutes ok ok.."
This professor his highly unorganized and breezes through powerpoint slides without giving you a chance to even read the slides. She puts way too much emphasis on group activities rather than actually teaching. There are pop quizzes so you have to keep up with the readings. Two papers and a group presentation.
