This was her first semester teaching at Buffalo State, and I loved her class! She knows her stuff, is engaging, quirky but in a charming way. The only downfall for me was the class was a bit too early for me to really participate, but that's on me. She is a fair grader and gives interesting assignments. She also has great fashion sense!!!SOC240 2016-01-12 14:51:01 +0000 UTC
Professor Kimelberg is the best for sociology. If you study and put in the necessary work you will end up with an A. She makes the tests easy on purpose because it is an intro course. She is very fair and has an extra credit assignment if you want a higher grade. Good class overall.SOCL1101 2014-07-17 01:35:54 +0000 UTC
she was a really nice and a down to earth professor. Not too hard, but not that easy. Alot of readings but they are interesting. Exams are mainly based off of the powerpoints that we do every class. She is extremely helpful and is willing to work with you to pull up your grade with extra credit assignments. A++SOCURBA 2010-01-11 01:23:37 +0000 UTC
She is very very nice. Easy professor plus a fairly easy grader. Very good at teaching; she provides great visuals and posts them online prior to class. Her lectures are very easy to follow. She does not give to many assignments but does have a mid-term & final. Though, she teaches too much from the perspective of white middle-class perspective.SOC276 2008-06-08 06:11:05 +0000 UTC
Professor Kimelberg is great. She makes dull material learnable and is passionate about the subject. Presents lecture materials and gives easy exams.SOCL1101 2014-05-03 15:06:38 +0000 UTC
She provided all of the slides from her lectures and the tests were all multiple choice. You don't need the textbook, just go over the slides and you'll pass easily. She was very clear and easy to talk to. I definitely recommend for an easy A.SOCL1101 2014-01-01 23:09:15 +0000 UTC

She is an awesome teacher. She keeps the class interesting and is one of the only teachers who doesn't do scantron tests for lecture halls. Definitely take her class.SOCL1101 2011-04-08 18:52:30 +0000 UTC
I have taken two of her classes already and I loved them both. She is great and fun. Take her classes!!!SOCL1101 2011-03-31 11:19:04 +0000 UTC

Wonderful teacher and all around wonderful class. She is very helpful and clear in her course material. She is always on schedule and pretty much sticks to the syllabus. She is very knowledgeable and just a pleasure to converse with. She always starts and ends class on time. She is one of the best Professors at Northeasten University.SOCL1101 2010-03-16 11:22:45 +0000 UTC
