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.
