Loved Tara so much. Was never much of a history gal, but hearing her lecture about social theorists from the past and connecting their theories to today's society was really cool. Midterm was great, she gave all the questions beforehand to study and left plenty of class time to answer questions. One paper and then a short reflection for the final.

Prof. Tober is super nice and understanding. This class was really easy and had a pretty low workload (one 500-word forum post a week). Tests and papers are graded very generously and lectures are always entertaining. This class was a theory course, which is always kind of tedious, but she made it interesting with personal stories and jokes.

very fun! uses modern references to help clarify some ideas or terms. only one discussion due per week, 500 words and involving assigned readings. she gives partial credit on the midterm and also hands out possible questions before. final is a paper regarding a topic of your choice and analyzing with some theories, with no strict page requirement

I've taken now 4 courses with Professor Tober. Took Soc 1 with her and it was this course that made me switch into the major. She's honestly amazing and is funny during her lectures. If you have the opportunity to take a class with her, DO IT! You won't regret it.

She does not teach. Uses the same recorded lectures as past quarters. Assigns a lot of reading, most of it difficult theory that is hard to understand then expects you to grasp it yourself from there. Mandatory forum post and forum reply every week ends up feeling like you are writing a (short) essay every weekend plus a paper, midterm, and final

Doctor Tober explains difficult sociological concepts well. This is an UD class, so you have to dig into the readings/lectures, but her explainations make theory digestible and interesting. 2 short writings assigments every week, midterm, paper, and an easy final. Late work gets half a letter grade deduction each day it is late. Take this class!

easy, a few papers and midterm and final. if you pay attention in lecture and do the readings your good

I 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.

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!!!

3rd time taking her. She's great! Sometimes she would have classwork to submit, but you should just attend class to receive credit. Quizzes were confusing sometimes, but overall was fine. Group project at the end of the year where we had to organize our own social movement and include class concepts. Def a more lenient and caring professor!

SOC1 with Dr. Tober is EXTREMELY easy. I skipped more than half of the lectures and got an A, because the lecture slides are posted online and are nearly identical to the textbook. On top of that, the content itself is not difficult at all, and mostly common sense. Dr. Tober's lectures were very easy to understand and very very slow paced.

TAKE SOC 1! I absolutely loved Dr. Tober's class. What I loved most about the class were her lectures. She knows her material so well -- I felt like I was watching a TedTalk. The assignments are straightforward. If you engage, it's absolutely achievable to get an A.

Tober wasn't horrible, but not the best. Lectures were sometimes interesting, but mainly just her rambling. Textbook reading ~40 pages per week and a quiz, midterm exam, paper, and a final. I studied pretty hard for the exams but she words things in a confusing manner. She also doesn't round grades

Pretty interesting lectures, easy to listen to, and the content's very easy to understand. Study lecture slides for the midterm and final. Chill class!

Lectures are somewhat interesting, although she tends to ramble. Easy workload: weekly reading and quizzes (online), one paper, one midterm, and a final. The midterm was full of past quiz questions but the final was a weird curveball. Anyway doesn't require any studying or much effort.

Dr. Tober is amazing I hope to have her again in a future class. Lectures felt unnecessary at times since she only emphasized weekly reading material, but I enjoyed them. Weekly quizzes and readings were simple, be on top of your one paper and you'll be fine. Take studying for midterm and final seriously since they way a ton in grade book!!

I didn't really go to lecture because most of it is a repeat of the textbook (section is too, but that's mandatory) and sometimes she gets into stories so long that you can't get through the lesson. Weekly reading quizzes, one midterm, one paper, and the final. The content is interesting and not difficult to understand. Overall very easy GE

You don't need to attend lectures, however, she does pull some info from the slides to put in the midterm and final! Lectures felt pointless and boring. Section is mandatory and had repeat information of the textbook. To succeed in the class, you gotta read the chapters and take notes. There are reading quizzes online that are easy. Easy GE overall

Lectures were interesting, Tober is conversational, material isn't too difficult. Decent amount of rendering, weekly quizzes based on it, one short essay. One midterm and final which are a lot like the quizzes, helps if you study. Overall a pretty easy class and Tober is nice.

very chill class. attendence is not mandatory, but part of our grade is in-class group work (not that bad) assigned on random days. grade book was weekly online quizzes that were very easy, in-class assignments, one book report, and a final project that could be done in a group where you create a social movement proposal. she makes it very doable.

This class is very textbook heavy, but it costs 14$ and you can get a lot of the content from scanning for names, sociological terms, and using the bolder words. You do need to study but it is 1 paper, section, midterm, and final. Biggest problem is she is not clear on what the tests focus on and it can be anything from the textbook or lecture.

two required textbooks and weekly reading quizzes. a book review for midterm and final group project instead of final exam. this is my third class with tara tober and she's an amazing professor. interesting class too, so i would highly recommend.

Tara Tober is a GOAT. Her lectures feel like professional Ted Talks and are very interesting. You don't need to go to lecture and she posts slides. There is ~50 pages a week of reading, but it was easy to read. You can get away with not reading, and the quizzes are online. One writing assignment that was very short and you could choose any topic.

I really enjoyed intro to soc, as a sociology major, but I would definitely recommend it to anyone as an easy GE. There was 1 midterm, 1 final, 1 relatively easy project, and weekly reading quizzes (online.) The weekly readings were pretty interesting but not necessary to pass. Tober makes lectures very engaging!
