I loved Kornberg her lectures are amazing! Grades are straight forward with two tests, discussion posts and a final of your choosing. Readings are excellent and easy to understand, but they are lengthy!

I enjoyed this class. There's ALOT of reading, but I read maybe 1/4 of the weekly readings and I was fine. I don't think that the TA graded harshly, but that's subjective. The attendance was super annoying because you'd never know when she would take attendance. Overall, I thought that the topics she went over in class were super interesting.

Does not reply to emails, super tough grader. Rude, not understanding or accommodating . She makes students calculate their own grades and until the very last second, the grade shows as failing because of the way she inputs them. Also requires attendance despite it being totally unnecessary to pass the class. She gave me so much anxiety.

Grading is irrationally tough for even simple assignments. Lectures just consist of reading off of slides. No late work is accepted. Professor is nice, just tough.

Kornberg is either hit or miss. Reading responses are graded out of 5, with a 300 word limit that has to cover anywhere from 20-60 pages of reading. The TA grades super harsh. Attendance wasn't mandatory last quarter, but this quarter my friend said she takes random attendance quizzes throughout lecture. Acts like she'd be accommodating, but isn't

Dana Kornberg is a great professor! Don't let her score on here scare you. She is a very flexible grader and as long as you understand the concept of what she's saying, take good notes, and read the textbook you'll succeed! I found her very passionate and understanding, she even curved the final because some people didn't do so good.

The class isnt that hard, youll have to show up to sections which dont help at all with midterm or final, midterm was pretty easy, and for the final there were a few curveballs. Got an 89.5 in the class and the professor makes it seem as if its against the law to give slight extra credit when the class is just a GE but whatever.

I really enjoyed SOC 1! The exams were extremely straight forward, with clear expectations on what should be studied. I'm not exactly sure why reviews for Kornberg are so low - my friend and I who both took the class agreed that the essay and tests were easy if you follow the study guide and read the textbook chapters.

She is nice, but the midterm was pretty much only term-based. Then the final is flipped on your head with little key details from lecture when she's rambling about statistics, which are extremely boring most of the time and hard to pay attention to, and unimportant relative to the test, she also just reads of lecture slides. However, TA was awesome

Unorganized course. Mid-term was light with the main focus on key-terms/topics. Final was horrendous with multiple students asking what to study 2 DAYS BEFORE FINAL. Kornberg was not at all helpful and lacked clear guidance for the final. Sections did not prepare for anything that was on the midterm/final.

Lectures were quite boring and hard to follow, and barely any interaction with students. Doesn't really give a guide on what to study for on exams. TA was awesome but still would not take again.
