TOBER T L
Probably the most passionate professor I've had in a while. Wish she was a little clearer on certain topics in content analysis (finding your research question and literature review), but giving us a content analysis research project on a subject of our choice was really fun. Quizzes were a little tedious but read and you'll be fine.
I love Professor Tober!! I have her for Soc108C and Soc185C this quarter. She has made me never want to skip a class and I stay engaged through content heavy lectures because of the way she presents it! Her classes have truly reignited my passion for sociology and research Grading can be hard but if you study and attend class your fine.
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!!
