SOC108 . Cast A D 9 Years Ago

Doctor Cast is a people's professor. From day one, she makes it clear what is expected of students in order for them to succeed. Her lectures are generally clear and helpful, and she does a great job of being available to answer questions and address concerns. If I could have retaken this class, I would have started projects much earlier.

3 papers and 3 midterms total, very straightforward in format and grading. Very good with taking questions in lecture and helpful in office hours, she seems like a sweetheart. Informative class that busts a few family myths. Would definitely recommend.

Overall this was a good class. The topics covered are a bit harder to comprehend than those in other courses but Cast makes it both easy and enjoyable. There are three multiple choice exams that are literally out of the book. Pay attention in class and you will do just fine!

Cast is an excellent professor! Her lecture slides are very clear and she structures the class so that material is easy to follow. Her study guides for tests are helpful, and material is very interesting! I'd definitely take another class with Cast!

SOC147 . Cast A D 11 Years Ago

This class was pointless. Tests covered usually less than a third of what we read. I learned NOTHING from this class because Professor Cast doesn't really teach anything. The tests were very easy. She also expects two essays but will not prepare you for them. Often times the essays are due on the day that topic will be covered in class.

Overall she is very nice and helpful. Even though attendance is not mandatory, you should still go to class and pay attention. If you get confused on material, ask questions. Readings are very important and should be taken seriously. These strategies will go along way in the class.

SOC108 . Cast A D 13 Years Ago

Easiest class I have taken at UCSB. Book was expensive, but her lectures are literally take directly out of the book. Her tests are multiple choice. Very easy to do. She is genuinely nice and helpful. Great class, easy A.

She's awesome. She's from the University of Iowa and is temporarily teaching at UCSB while doing research.
