The writing assignments in this class were a huge pain. Not only were they harshly graded, but got zero feedback. I had to keep bugging the ta to give me feedback on why I got points off?? Follows a weird version of ASA formatting. Quiz questions contradict the reading if you can even access the readings. Repetitive weekly assignments.

She has so much knowledge to offer and it was such an interesting course to take! I do think that the units material had a lot of work, but the quizzes + discussions were easy points. The 3 papers were fine as long as you carefully follow the instructions. She ended up giving us extra credit too, I definitely recommend taking her!

Nothing to complain about for the lectures, although a bit repetitive. The discussion posts and quizzes are easy points as long as you do them. However, the difficulty of this course comes with the grading of the three writing assignments. Prof. Taylor claims they are graded harsher to compensate for the easiness of the weekly assignments.

Avoid. Never took SOC155 with this professor. Never. I'm good at writing, but the three assignments really hits me. I never received any detailed written feedback from my TA, and all of the TAs are harsh grader. I don't know who can get A in this class.

Lecture credit is mandatory, but I feel like I gained more from her posted lectures from covid rather than in person. She goes on tangents a lot and loves to hear herself talk but the overall class is interesting. The grading criteria of "excellent" isn't clear on essays. Weekly quizzes and 3 papers

I never have a class with such awesome Lectures. They are well-organized and easy to get. However, the assignments are twice a week, 3 pages maximum, and it is very harshly graded the mean score is always 140/200. It has a section of "writing everything excellently ", but we just do not know what does excellently mean.

Every week, quizzes and discussions can be easy ways to earn points. However, the problem lies in assignment #1~3, which constitutes a significant portion of the grade. Despite following all the instructions, the grading for these assignments was very harsh. If you are good at writing, try this course. After this class, I really hate gender things.

Interesting class with well-presented material. Lectures are engaging and easy to follow. Two easy quizzes each week along with two discussion posts, and then three large papers to do throughout the course. Material is easy to understand, but the papers were graded somewhat harshly; I followed along the whole quarter and still ended up with a B.

This class was interesting but she sure does ramble on a lot, you learn most of the content outside of class. The twice weekly quizzes are easy but she grades harshly on the papers. In class discussion posts are easy points. She can be funny but you learn mostly from the lectures she posts online.

Professor Taylor consistently and quickly responded to my emails and was always very helpful. Grade was made up of weekly discussion posts, reading quizzes, and three short papers. The papers were relatively easy, and she provided detailed rubrics that broke down how to earn points. Lots of reading, but it was pretty interesting.

Professor Taylor knows the work she assigns is extremely stress inducing and UNREASONABLE but she does not care. She loves to hear herself talk, gives extremely boring lectures, 1 assignment a week that takes hours. Before even being done with an assignment she'll start talking about the next one. Leaving all students confused and stressed.

Fall 2021. I was nervous bc we use STATA which is statistical software but Taylor made STATA fun and interesting. She is passionate about statistics and it is easy to follow along with her lectures, very organized and engages students to participate in class. Quizzes online each week were easy. The assignments were not bad especially with TA help
