| class comments : | 1 mulltiple choice quiz every week and a few tests, she told us the essay questions beforehand so we could prepare. we averaged 1 video a week. you probably needed the books since some questions would be directly from them, but you would only lose a few points without them i suppose. |

| instructor comments : | really nice and friendly, i can understand some of the reasons why people may not like her style of teaching but i dont really think she tried to surpress their opinions as some other people have implied. The thing is she has to present her material whether the class agrees with it or not. |

| course comments : | Course attempts to discuss social issues (welfare, drugs, education, etc.) but is usually elementary and had an extremely liberal slant (and I'm liberal). |
| class : | Fall 2001 section 004 |
| grade received : | A |
| class rating : | 2 - Average |
| class comments : | Class was not really very interesting---mostly lectures although there were a ton of videos. A lot of it was common sense type stuff. The class is very easy though if you need a free elective. There was no attendance policy, but there was a weekly quiz that you had to do (but she told you which day) |
| instructor : | Terry |
| instructor rating : | 2 - Average |
| instructor comments : | She is very nice and helpful, but didn't allow much class debate. You basically had to just agree with the book, which was a horrible book. Among other things the book was pro-legalization of heroin (said only danger of it was its illegality) and also majorly distorted some statistics. |

| instructor comments : | She was pretty understanding and fair. Apparently she made it hard to get an A, but she obviously didn't want anyone to fail either. She even gave extra points for perfect attendance. |

We had a quiz every day, at the begining (they were easy if you read, and you can use your book and notes anyways) he just started taking attendance later in the semester. The field trip to the prison was cool though. |

| instructor comments : | Sort of a weird guy. I guess he was nice, but I didn't like his quizzes. He expected you to read 20 page chapters, then he would ask incredibly detailed T/F questions. You could completely understand the topic in question and still make a 50 on the quiz. I thought he did a bad job of teaching the course. |

She expresses her views (sometimes ignorant) on a daily basis. She once said that Baghdad only had a population of 10,000 people. She is nuts. |

Lectures do get out early often if the material she planned to cover is done. |

She is very friendly outside of class (tried to talk me out of econ). In addition, her lectures are more like debates btw students, and she encourages an open atmosphere. |

| course comments : | I thought this was sort of interesting (then again I switched away from SOC...). The class is about social problems like poverty, unemployment, disease, etc., and their effects on society. A textbook and 3 paperback books were required. One of the books we didn't have to read entirely--we used it to give presentations for the class. |
| class : | Fall 2003 section 001 |
| grade received : | A- |

| class comments : | Definitely need to read the books. Also, she swore to us that she would not ask stastics, but she had some questions on the tests that had to do with statistics (who memorizes those of course?? No one!). There were 4 tests (including the final), but there were supposed to be 5. One of the tests was turned into a paper-outline thingy because she thought the book was too hard for us (it was on economics). If you enjoy hearing about capitalism again and again and again at 8 am, this one's for you. |

I recommend attending classes, as it is a very involved class with discussions of topics and class participation is part of the grading if I am not mistaken. Material was presented well. We watched a couple videos. |
