Literally loved this class with her. Makes the material digestable and honestly if you study for the exams especially focusing on the key terms from the textbook and her slides you should be good. Has an obvious passion for the subject and made me consider a minor in sociology even as an engineering major!SOC1101 2025-04-29 05:22:26 +0000 UTC
Perfect ProfessorCRIM6200 2025-04-08 00:27:01 +0000 UTC
She isn't clear about what she wants. Lectures are so boring that I fall asleep in every single one of them. She goes on rambles and calls on you at random times. Nice woman, but an unorganized professor.SOCL2321 2019-11-07 15:38:20 +0000 UTC
Prof Marshall is so sweet and expects you to participate. However, she can be a tough grader (she was easy at first, but was very tough the second time). Even when I went to see her and listened to her advice on how to improve my paper, I did worse the second time. However, I ddi learn a lot from the class and she encouraged analytical thinking.HONR1310 2016-12-20 02:47:41 +0000 UTC
I thought the class material was very interesting, but this class IS mostly self-teaching, considering she does not really teach during lectures. Therefore, it requires a lot of reading and note-taking, but if you're interested in the topic the class will be easy. There are about 8 quizzes, two of which are dropped, and a few short essays.CRIM2200 2016-03-23 23:12:15 +0000 UTC
One of the worst teachers I've had, she does not help you. Her textbook sounds like it was written for 15 year olds, I am not learning a single thing apart from how exhausted my brain is from cramming unnecessary information. If you have a way out of this class please take it, you will not regret it.2200 2015-10-05 18:42:34 +0000 UTC
She is hands down the worst professor I have ever had. Her lectures are painfully boring and her tests are ridiculously difficult. She gives you the questions before hand but honestly it's a lower level class with so much information that studying is a nightmare. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS IT IS AWFUL.CRIM220 2014-07-01 15:18:22 +0000 UTC
Worst class I have ever taken. Sooooo boring. Goes off on tangents that you can't even understand due to her accent. Has no guideline for grading essay midterm/final/papers, and constantly takes off major points just because you didn't supply as much information as another student, even if that information was not asked for. Awful.CJ522 2008-03-31 12:15:20 +0000 UTC
Although she sometimes stutters and gets stuck on words when giving lectures (which is understandable as English is not her first language), she really cares about your studies and whether or not you can succeed in her class. I would say if you study well and do the extra credit (there like 5% maximum on your overall grade) you should be fine.SOC1101 2024-04-30 11:07:58 +0000 UTC
You would give your opinion (because she asked for it) and she would always respond with "thats not quite right" or straight up with "no." She would literally not like ANY answer given unless she was the one giving it. Also, the group project was horrible, but that was on my group members who didn't do the project until the day it was due.CRIM6200 2025-01-10 00:55:10 +0000 UTC
Her lectures are complete wastes of time as she goes off on long tangents and seldom discusses the material. You will pretty much have to teach yourself the material through the textbook. She is unhelpful and is seldom available for questions and when she is she doesn't provide useful responses. Her quizzes and assignments are confusing and hard.SOCL2321 2016-11-28 15:11:54 +0000 UTC
I took her criminology class last year, and she was very difficult to understand. Her lectures are long and a waste of time. You basically need to teach criminology to yourself from the book to do well in the class. She uses blue books for tests.CRIM2200 2015-12-10 15:38:12 +0000 UTC
It was very hard to force myself to go to class. If attendance was not mandatory then I would have not gone at all. The subject could have been very interesting, but I feel like I learned nothing. It was disappointing since she is very experienced in the field of international cJ.She's a nice woman but her teaching style needs a little spicing up.CJ522 2007-11-06 14:01:00 +0000 UTC
TEST HEAVYYY. omg your grade is literally made up of 3 exams each 300 points TA made and graded... there are extra credit opportunities but even doing all of them and getting 240/300 (80%) on all 3 exams your left with barely a A-. I would say it's hard to get an A in her course which is annoying because it's a 1101 class. Take the online SOCL1101!SOC1101 2024-04-28 18:21:44 +0000 UTC
this professor is extremely unorganized. due dates were changes left and right and grading was a nightmare and you can edit a paper, and still somehow do worse than before. she graded group projects differently for each person in the group, which she never mentioned and is extremely unfair. find someone better.CRIM6200 2023-12-20 03:06:54 +0000 UTC
