TAKE THIS CLASS! This was my favorite class ive taken at UCSB. Though her lectures and readings were heavy, her lectures are so engaging it is easy to stay on track. Her lecture slides also cover every aspect of the readings so if any part of the reading is confusing, she will cover it. I could not stop talking about the class content. the best.

She was a great professor with so much knowledge. It was so great to take her class and I am so honored to have learned from her. She lectures very well - makes it interesting. A lot of reading but the lectures analyze the readings. Midterm and Final and 2 short papers

She will answer any questions and is not hard to work with. 2 tests 1-2 papers, and she gives plenty of information to write about for papers, so they aren't complicated. My favorite part of how her class is structured is that her lectures cover her readings, so they are clearly spelled out for you. very passionate but kinda dense lectures.

AMAZING PROFESSOR! So passionate, informative, not afraid to give her opinion on global affairs. Great lecture slides with tons of information, posted online so you can use them whenever, but her lectures are so good you need to go. Made the law approachable to a Soc major. I would take any class with her and would give her 50 stars if I could

Prof. Hajjar is very knowledgable however I don't think she can teach well. Lectures are extremely, extremely dense (usually 30 slides a day packed with words) and she speaks very quickly. Gradebook was literally the midterm, final, and one paper, and no review guide for the exams. Just praying the TA is a reasonable grader.

very good professor

Lisa was an amazing professor, class was very very easy. Class was only graded on 2 midterms 1 paper very short based on a movie. She let you know what was going to be on her tests. Attendance not mandatory and she posts her lectures

The fact that this professor teaches human rights, gets spits in the face of it, is appalling. The fact she is still teaching is a horrible reflection of the school. Shame on all parties.

She lectures to the point, minimizing the work outside of class. There is participation, a paper (two options!), and two exams worth equal percentages of your grade. The only homework is reading and watching videos, which talk about content already discussed in the lecture. She is outgoing to students, so it is uncomplicated to ask any questions.

This class is an easy A. 1 paper with extremely extremely loose guidelines and 2 exams with very easy questions that you just have to answer to the best of your ability. Required readings are not necessary at all. Engaging topics. Lisa lectures a bit too fast and her slides can be hard to read, but securing a solid grade is no problem.

Professor Hajjar was a very entertaining lecturer and provided interesting insight with her background in law and sociology during the class. I found the class to be very interesting and not too difficult with just one paper and two tests, it was very easy to manage with other classes. The topics of study were interesting and covered a wide range.

Soc 1 was one of the best UCSB classes I've taken. I took it during winter 22 so her midterm and final was online and it was very interesting.
