She is SO passionate about sociology. I wish she wasn't teaching a NUPath course, because most people (including myself) are not that passionate about sociology and just do other work in class. Your grade is based off of 3 MCQ tests and attendance. All she does is lecture, she made me wish I was a bit more passionate about sociology haha.SOCL1101 2026-04-14 20:43:34 +0000 UTC
Yes great class!! She's genuinely a really kind professor, and she cares about making sure everyone understands what is happening in class. Also, very interesting material was taught as well.SOCL1101 2026-04-13 17:14:49 +0000 UTC
Rachel is a great professor. She is super nice and understanding. Her class is lecture heavy but, she gives a break in the middle. There are only 3 exams including the final, all multiple choice and the final isn't cumulative. Really pay attention to the lectures and do the readings. Lots of extra credit (up to a 7% boost in your grade).SOCL1101 2026-04-11 18:27:22 +0000 UTC
Super passionate and kind woman. The lectures are v engaging and interesting and she gives a ton of extra credit. There are only 3 exams (including the final) and it is not cumulative.SOCL1101 2026-04-09 18:00:53 +0000 UTC
Professor Meyer was a great professor. Only 3 quizzes and gives extra credit to boost your grade by 5%. The quizzes are exactly what the slides and lectures cover. There are readings every week, but they prepare you for her lectures. Her class is very engaging and interesting.SOCL1101 2026-04-09 16:47:09 +0000 UTC
She's really passionate about the things she talks about which rlly helps you get through the long lectures lol. highly recommend taking her!!SOCL1101 2026-03-12 17:22:11 +0000 UTC
Rachel is very kind and loves to talk to students. Looking over the assigned textbook chapters is a good way to make sure you are keeping up, but just taking notes during class is enough to do well on the exams. Exams are pretty straight forward, she gives a lot of extra credit and her grading system is to your benefit.SOCL1101 2026-01-16 05:05:17 +0000 UTC
This has been my favorite professor thus far. Her teaching style is incredible. She will explain the same concept in numerous ways to ensure your learning style aligns with one of the explanations. She is approachable and makes class interesting. You must study for the tests and take notes, but they are not tricky. I recommend her highly.SOCL1101 2026-01-14 22:25:07 +0000 UTC
She gives A TON of extra credit. Def more work than other sections but not hard at all.SOCL1101 2026-01-08 13:41:45 +0000 UTC
One of the best classes I've taken at Northeastern. She is an amazing professor—super passionate about the subject and genuinely wants students to care and understand it. You learn a lot, but it never feels overwhelming because she explains everything so well. Readings are reasonable and well chosen. Would absolutely take again.SOCL1101 2025-12-16 21:51:11 +0000 UTC
Very intelligent and great teacher who is very very clear about what you need to succeed in the class and provides you with all of the resources and materials to do so. Will assign a good amount of readings but SPECIFIES PAGES and paragraphs so you don't have to read entire chapters, and all readings are super helpful for tests. easy to succeedSOCL1101 2025-12-04 20:18:27 +0000 UTC
it's nice to see how passionate professor meyer is about sociology. it makes lectures very enjoyable and easy to follow along to. her exams are very straightforward. if you show up to lecture and do the readings (not graded), you're guaranteed a good grade. i can't recommend her enough!SOCL1101 2025-12-01 22:06:31 +0000 UTC
Just somewhat pay attention and understand the course material and you will do great!SOCL1101 2025-11-25 15:28:02 +0000 UTC
Prof. Meyer was great! The class was a piece of cake and she gave many opportunities for extra credit even though your main grade is comprised of 3 equally weighted tests. Lectures were straightforward and as long as you took notes on that and skimmed the textbook you were fine.SOCL1101 2025-11-22 22:57:15 +0000 UTC
