She was caring in general but her lectures were boring, and the readings were very long. But if you put a little effort it should be generally easy to get an A.SOCL2225 2026-04-13 18:09:05 +0000 UTC
Does not care for her students. She is terrible at explaining things and just rambles. Her tests do not reflect the topics brought up in class. Not sure how she is a professor.SOCL2300 2018-12-14 21:28:53 +0000 UTC
Her explanation is always confusing but do not ask furuther question. Pretend that you understand it or she thinks you are silly and you will not recieve good grade.SOCL1225 2018-12-13 14:01:17 +0000 UTC
She used o teach in Nee Hampshire University and her reputation was so bad. She doesnt explain anything well but the TA is very helpful. She is very rude about students who feel confused in the class. Also she gives a very negative attitude when you go to her office hour. Try to take this mandatory class with a different professor. God bless you.SOCL2400 2018-01-11 19:28:15 +0000 UTC
This professor was okay at first. After a while, she completely lost me. She rambles on and you may get lost. There clearly is favoritism in the class although it is a lecture hall. Take at your own risk.SOCL1255 2010-03-31 02:47:14 +0000 UTC
Very boring class, she is very passionate for Social Theory, there is a lot of writing homeowrk but it is expectedSOCL2300 2018-03-15 11:23:56 +0000 UTC
She will pick favorite's, She will grade accordingly.SOCL1225 2018-04-29 11:13:21 +0000 UTC
Poor quality of teaching overall. Class management is poor, ignoring genuine questions from students and not generally does not keep class engaged. Very rambly and assignments are very odd.SOCL1225 2017-12-26 21:06:03 +0000 UTC
Has no passion for teaching, only redeeming quality is there is some passion for her subject, this however, is obscured by the absurd teaching style. Commonly ignores students and definitely is not consistent with treatment of students. Take class only if absolutely necessary. Takes personal offence to asking questions for clarification.SOCL1225 2017-12-22 06:58:30 +0000 UTC
Her teaching style was very poor and boring. She doesn't like students to ask questions that "she doesn't like" but she likes the subject she is teaching. So if you are not sure what you are talking about you better not say anything otherwise she will ignore you in the class.SOCL1225 2017-12-21 22:43:32 +0000 UTC
Boring class, tedious teaching style. Shows little enthusiasm for students.SOCL1225 2017-11-19 17:01:19 +0000 UTC
Horrible class. Take as a last resort.SOCL1225 2010-09-01 14:31:01 +0000 UTC
