Very good teacher. Enjoyed discussions in class. She made me think about things that I hadn't though of before.

This was a REALLY easy intro class. Prof Ramirez is really chill. Basically the only thing you will do in her class is talk & discuss topics that may or may not have anything to do with what the chapter is on. There are 10 question, T or F quizzes every other week or so that are super easy. Definitely read over the chapters for tests. EASY A!

Professor Ramirez always has some topic to bring to the class discussion for the night. She uses current events from newspapers, pod casts (like NPR), and will try to get us to talk about how these events relate to the chapter or topic we have. Good class. Recommend. Make sure you read the chapters in book!

The class was not hard. She had good discussions with us. I liked the way it was set up and all. She would have us talk about things that mattered to us. Never had a class like this. I really liked it. Wish other classes were like this.

You have to read the book. She is easy if you read the book and you come to class. If you do not like to participate and have class discussions this class is not for you. She sticks to her syllabus so make sure you read it. Other than that she really is pretty easy and the class is enjoyable.

Super awesome teacher! Loved her class! Easy A!

prof ramirez teaches good. i really liked her class. i had to read the book for the tests but her discussions always covered what was in the book. i also liked how not all her grades are just from the tests. she has other assignments outside of class that are fun and easy! take the class its really fun.

This was the most AMAZING class I have ever taken! I loved Professor Ramirez! She made me really think about race and gender like I had never thought about it before. I left her class realizing how closed minded I had been before taking her. I’m really glad VSU has classes like this. I would take this class again!

Great professor!! She replaced another professor at the last minute and she rocked it!! If you fail her class, shame on you! Always laid back and willing to allow the class run the class with great discussions. She brought current health care events as topics for class which was great and caused a lot of great class discussion.

Great class! I can't say this for many of my classes but this was the best class I have ever taken in college!

The best class I have taken so far. I actually like attending. You talk about what is going on around the world pertaining to the course, you open up about issues. Grading is simple.

I'm currently taking the class. So far its really interesting. I really like all the discussions and how she lets us say what we feel on the chapter topics. we have only taken one exam so far and everything came from the book so if you take Dr. Ramirez than make sure you have bought the book and are reading it.

I highly recommend this class! She's a great teacher who explains the material well. She encourages discussion, and loves when students contribute to the topics at hand. You will need to purchase the book because the test questions come from the book. Her test and daily activities are easy.

I don’t usually post on these types of sites but I took Professor Ramirez in the Fall of 2013. Prof. R is really cool. She doesn’t judge anyone in class. She lets you think about this stuff like race, gender, and sexuality. I was a nervous at first but after it was all over I learned so much. She is the best teacher I have ever had. Take the class.

I like Dr. Ramirez. She knows her stuff. I recommend any of her classes for anyone who really wants to learn and not spend the entire time in a text book with someone who thinks they are a know it all. She is down to earth and teaches from real life experiences.

Loved her! She rocks! Great! Don't ever change!

Taking the class now and LOVE HER! I am going to make sure I take her again!

I loved this class! I have been in college for 3 years and this is the best class I have every taken. Dr. Ramirez is AMAZING! I learned so much from her. She helps you understand the content and uses current events and movies to help you out. She is always there to listen to you if you need it and she makes school fun again!

I took LGBT studies and it was really awesome! I learned so much! I would recommend Dr. Ramirez to anyone. She is really caring, smart, and gets through to students. She makes class so much fun! I always wanted to be in class!

Truly an amazing teacher, very knowledgable in content, VERY fun class time! Homework? As if. Tests are beyond easy, extra credit galore, very easy final and no midterm! She was a great teacher and the class was amazing, highly recommend! If she's an option, take her!

Ok so I loved this class! I really wish I wasn't graduating because I would take her again. She is freakin hot! I loved just showing up. She really gets through to the class and she is so cool! I felt like I wasn't even in school. Take any of her classes if you get the chance, you won't regret it. For real.

Super great class. I will be taking her again in the Fall. A few things to note. She's only easy if you come to class and do the readings assigned. There is no way I would have understood Queer theory had I not read the readings assigned and came to class to hear her lecture. She's amazing, wonderful, probably one if not the BEST professor at VSU.

I had Queer Theory with Dr. Ramirez and it was amazing. There was reading, but not too much. You only need two textbooks for the class and they're not that expensive. Dr. Ramirez is amazing .. she's hilarious and raw. Attendance isn't mandatory BUT you get points for just showing up. There are three papers, but no tests. Dr. Ramirez is just great.

Dr. Ramirez is a fantastic person and a pretty good instructor. Her courses are really a facilitation of conversation. There are readings done, but they aren't too difficult (as long as you are into the academic literature already) and even if they are, she has a great way of explaining things to the class so they do not feel overwhelmed.

Great professor! Easy to understand. Very down to earth. Every student should take Dr. Ramirez. She gets through like no other professor I've ever had. She's super cute also. That makes it nice to come to class.

Best class ive ever had. I took queer theory and it was something very new to me. She makes it so easy to understand. I left the class understanding so much and realizing how little i knew about the topic before i took the class.

Really good professor. I wish she taught more classes here. . I've taken all the classes she teaches so I can't take her anymore. She is easy to understand because she speaks our language. She understands college students which is rare with professors. She doesn't talk to hear herself talk but talks with us as a class. I have great respect for her.

Best class ever.

Great class. I recommend Dr. Ramirez. If you want to learn about anything dealing with gender, LGBTQ, feminist theory, queer theory then take her. She will teach it to you in a way that is eye opening! No joke!

You have to read the assigned readings to do well. I started out not reading and did bad on first test but read for the second and made an A. She always goes over the readings and makes it really fun, but you have to participate. If you don't then she won't go over the readings. So you kinda have to read. But the discussions are amazing!

a very good teacher to have. lectures are very engaging, class debates always come up but she makes sure everyone gets respect from one another and is heard.

Dr. Ramirez has an unorthodox method of teaching that anyone can enjoy. one of my favorite class

So I took Dr. Ramirez about a year ago and wanted to take her again but she isn't teaching in Women's and gender studies anymore! But I found her in Sociology now so for all of you who want to take an amazing class where you actually learn and don't feel like your money for college is going to waste sign up for her class!

Really good professor. Makes sociology fun. Make sure you read the chapters in the book and come to class. You get points for attendance. Attendance can be the difference of making an A or a B in the class. FYI, showing up is really not bad. The class time is discussion and really good. I've had the best discussions in this class. Would take again.

Amazing. I love Dr. Ramirez. No tests in this class. Weekly papers. Shes incredible. She cares about her students. Very liberal, which I love. She does require attendance and participation. But the class is enjoyable though.

Dr. Ramirez is an amazing professor who genuinely cares about her students. Her lectures are so intriguing. If you miss more than two classes your grade will drop a letter grade but all of that info is in her syllabus. Just come to class! Its loads of fun and as long as you read the book and participate you will pass the class.

Dr. Ramirez is amazing ! There are no tests in her class, but you must participate. If you don't like talking ,get ready because you are going to do debates. They are extremely fun. Attendance is mandatory for her class if you miss more than 2 then your grade will be dropped a letter grade. I love the class because you can be yourself .

Excellent class! I decided to become a sociology major because of Dr. Ramirez. I recommend you take her. She's really smart and amazing. She teaches so you understand the content. Class is super fun and this is the only class I actually enjoy coming to on campus.

Dr Ramirez is a gem. Her classes help you actually learn the material. She helps make things understandable which I value in a professor. I have had professors who are caught up in how smart they are they never make sense to the class. Dr Ramirez helps you LEARN! She's a straight up GREAT TEACHER. If you want to LEARN take Dr RAMIREZ! Best!

I liked Dr. Ramirez because she speaks your language. She always has something smart to say. She also helps you if you need it. She starts the class off with current events and then has you relate it to the topic of the class. It has been super helpful for me because it helps me understand what we are studying. Take one of her classes.

Dr. Ramirez truly an inspiration. She uses real world issues to give students more of a open lens to view the world and puts in the perspective on how sociologist would view these events. Being a sociology teacher she helps you look farther than textbook definitions and actually gives us more of a way to view different perspectives .

Teacher is idealistic for lower level courses, however the higher the courses you take with her, the more papers you will write and the longer they will be.

Great class! Learned so much. Now I love sociology! Made it my major!

She is very passionate in her lectures. Her first few tests were difficult because it covered multiple chapters that are more than 20+ pages long. However, it is not impossible to do well. Read the chapters and make sure you understand it before the test. Procrastinating till the last moment to read won't help.

Awesome teacher! She's the reason I stayed in college. She's also the reason I started to major in sociology. She has so much passion and she lets us be a part of it. If you get a chance take Dr. Ramirez while you are at VSU.

If you take Dr. Ramirez, remember to show up for class. The class is very good! She is easy to understand and teaches in a way that everyone can understand. She is very approachable and if you need help just set up a time to meet with her in her office. Make sure to show up for class and participate. She's super chill and fun. Best Class ever!

Very nice and fair. She doesn't grade too harshly.

Great class and teacher! I learned so much in this class. Dr. Ramirez is very down to earth and chill. She will teach you things you never even thought about. Best class I've ever taken and now I love sociology!

Dr. Ramirez is amazing! You should attend every class and you will get a good grade!

Dr. Ramirez is great professor! She is truly hilarious and makes the class fun. Im not really the type to participate in class discussion at all but she makes it interesting so you become involved.

She is great! One of my favorite professors by far. Great personality and very easy to relate to. Great teacher.

She was a great professor. Grading came from discussion posts and simple, easy quizzes. Her lectures are fun and interesting.

Dr. Ramirez is seriously the best professor. She makes discussions super fun. Show up to class and participate (it is also fun!!)

Show up and participate! Shes an amazing professor who will make learning so fun!

Loved her and the class!

This is a pretty easy class if you read each required chapters and show up to class.

This a pretty easy class if you read the required chapters and show up to class.

Please read and be familiar with your syllabus. Easy A.

Dr. Ramirez was very fun and an outgoing professor. Before each class she allowed everyone to discuss current events to keep us updating on what was going on in the world. The tests are online and Id recommend reading the chapters, but definitely taking notes from PowerPoints.

Dr. Ramirez is one of the most incredible professors I've ever had. I had a rough semester and she ALWAYS checked on me and was willing to help. She has the class set up to be super easy (like seriously, it's super hard to fail it). She's SO FUN and always has such good insight and perspective. I seriously love her and cannot recommend her enough!

This class itself was fun and interesting. On top of that, Professor Ramirez was so great. Not only was she an amazing professor by being so passionate about the things that we discussed in the class, but she was also so obviously passionate about her students, which made her easy as well as fun to talk to.

I'd read the textbook, but you don't HAVE to... just recommend. Her extra credit quizzes are great and gives you a good understanding of what to expect on test. Some test questions are a little out there and you may have to look hard to find the answer but it's there! Love her so much! She's really funny and always uplifting and in a great mood!

Dr. Ramriez is always a joy to have as a lecturer! Our assignment essentially consisted of weekly discussion posts and 3 quizzes at the end, one of which was extra credit. I took this class as a hybrid so attendance was mandatory once a week, however, her lectures are so entertaining you won't want to miss them anyway!

Honestly my favorite professor this semester. Lectures are fun and she gives everyone an opportunity to be heard. Classes are always interesting and never boring. One of the main professors at VSU that makes sure every student is able to speak their opinions.

This was an amazing course! Dr. Ramirez was passionate and knowledgeable about all the topics we discussed. She made this class an open environment where each student was given attention and respect. The tests and assignments were all online as this was a hybrid class. I highly recommend taking this class to both grow your character and knowledge.

I recommend anybody taking sociology classes to take Dr. Ramirez.

Best professor to take for sociology and she makes sure everyones voice is heard throughout class. This is the easiest class to take for an easy A! She is also very nice, understanding and wants everyone to be successful.

I loved this class and I loved my instructor. She was always ready and kept us up to date online. I only made below an A because I missed assignments. She was always accessible and helpful. She was hands on in class and gave he lectures life.

Great professor

Dr. Ramirez is an amazing professor! I would recommend anyone to take her class if you are looking for a fun class as a core requirement. She is very out-going and has a great way of respecting her students by not only treating them as equals, but friends. She is one of the most informative teacher's I've ever had and she has great taste in music.

Dr. Ramirez is a great instructor who I admire and the passion she out through her lectures! I would definitely recommend anyone to take her courses!

Dr. Ramirez was the best professor! it was my first time taking her , but her lectures are very interacting and interesting as well! I highly recommend taking her class , and on top of that is very caring and will to anyone and everyone's opinion! She definitely made me very happy with my choice of my minor in sociology!

The professor is such an energetic individual and she makes the lectures entertaining. The class is straight to the point and she ensure that everyone understand what taking place. The class isn't hard as long as you completed the chapter reading and attend lecture. The extra credit quizzes are helpful and they prepare you for the class exams.

This class is super easy as long as you show up. The professor is really chill and is easier to talk to about assignments and tests. The classroom environment is very laid back and confidential in a sense of everyone can speak on their experience. You need to show up to class because of how the attendance policy it set up through Dr. Ramirez.

Dr. Andrea Ramirez is an awesome professor. I normally don't fill out this these papers, but when you have a good professor such as Dr. Ramirez than I had no choice but to let everyone know how awesome she is. The is definitely a accent to the university.

Thank you for being an awesome teacher .

She is an amazing professor. Make sure you read-it will help you in the long run. 10/10 recommend.

She is easily one of the best professors I have had in college. It is mainly open discussion, but she allows you to speak to your truth with no judgement. Great teacher. I highly recommend.

Dr. Ramirez is awesomeness professor! She takes the time to make everyone understands the material. Dr. Ramirez is an attraction for my college and I know that most would enjoy her stlye of reaching you minds.

This was one of the best Sociology classes I have taken. Dr. Ramirez is the best and the class is VERY interesting. I learned alot. As for grading, DO THE ASSIGNMENTS!

Dr. Ramirez is an awesome teacher. My class was a two hour class, but i was ecstatic to come to her class. The lectures, the conversations, and the feedbacks were very interesting . I enjoyed every moment i sat in her class. My knowledge has expanded because she is a great educator. By the way, i made sure i chose her class for next semester.

She is a great professor! Even an exchange student understood and enjoyed her class well.

Weekly Discussion Post so make sure you keep up with the reading. 10/10 recommend,

She is an AWESOME professor, I highly recommended to take her class. She literally the most caring professors I've had while attending VSU. She is willing to work with her students and make sure they are properly assisted.

Very relaxed class setting. She gives her students opportunities to talk each class. Provides interesting concepts to lecture on, as well as videos to watch. It was a MW class and she only made us come on Mondays and then Wednesdays were online days. Not a lot of work and the assignments arent hard. I recommend taking her! You wont regret it!

Dr. Ramirez was the best. Her class taught a lot about the stereotypes of gender and in society. She's very big on class participation and thanks to her I grew out of my shy bubble and learned that I was a feminist.

She's a great person and teacher in general. She can explain anything you don't understand and she really cares about her students. You don't necessarily need your book because the goes over powerpoints. You will actually learn in this class.

fun class

great professor!

Dr. Ramirez truly cares about her students and wants them to succeed each time they are in the classroom. Her lectures are amazing and filled with so much energy. Her knowledge and passion reflect in her lectures as well. The energy is so positive and infectious that it amps my anticipation for class every time.

Fun and Caring Professor.

This professor was awesome at teaching in class and online for the course. Even though after 2 months of in class and we had to switch to online she did her absolute best to make sure every assignment gets completed on time and made her self more available for any questions you may have.

One of the best professors I've ever had. She have such full energy every lecture and makes the class interesting. She explains everything clearly and sticks to the syllabus. Participation is big because of how open class discussions are but they are worth it. 10/10 recommend.

Amazing lectures so make sure you attend them. Also, it isn't a class where you can sit in the back and listen, you have to actively participate. Attendance is mandatory so make sure you go. She does have a lot of extra credit opportunities though.

Going into the course I was skeptical as to whether or not I would be interested in the topic, but Professor Ramirez is a great speaker and knows how to keep her class interested and engaged. I 10/10 recommend taking her class.

I would recommend taking courses from Dr. Ramirez. She creates an environment that is truly a safe space to learn from her, the text, and even your peers.

Make sure you show up for class. Aside from that, Dr. Ramirez is one of the best, entertaining, and interactive teachers I have had so far.

One of the best professors at VSU! She's very strict with attendance, you won't pass if you skip her class more than once. My class was a hybrid class so we usually took our quizzes online on Tuesdays and would have our lectures on Thursdays. There are a lot of opportunities for extra credit and there are never any boring Lectures.

Dr. Ramirez is by far one of the most amazing teachers Ive ever had in all of my years of schooling. The way she connects with her class, gives her lectures with great passion and excitement, and cares very much about seeing her students succeed is beyond phenomenal. I would definitely recommend her to class to anyone.

One of the best teachers at VSU. i've had her for many different sociology classes and in each one she is the same caring and funny teacher. she is very good at explaining the class material and having us participate. minimal homework and overall a great teacher and class to take!

Dr. Ramirez is by far one of the most phenomenal professors Ive ever had. I would definitely recommend as many students as I can to take her class. She does more than teach Sociology. She connects with her students to ensure they not only learn, but succeed.

Dr. Ramirez is one of the most phenomenal professors at VSU. I would definitely recommend her to as many students as I can. She goes above and beyond teaching Sociology. She knows how to engage her students and get them excited to want to learn more. Shes honest and fair and will do what she can to ensure her students success.

Professor Ramirez is an absolutely amazing teacher. Regardless of the class she teaches. I would highly recommend her class for any course classes. This is my second time having a class she teaches and I will be taking her again in the fall. Loves discussion and really super easy to pass. Very big on participation. May or may not gives test.

Great teacher! One of the best Professor at VSU take any of her classes

Easiest class ever! Xtra credit quizzes are given every Monday. After a while, it could get boring, but that could possibly be b/c I took 2 sociology classes so it was like repeated info. The textbook is required, but I used it like 2x max. All quizzes/tests are online, we do have discussion posts but the plus is you don't respond to 2 others LOL!!

Amazing professor! Easy Grades! A lot of extra credits!! Easy tests and discussion posts! In class, we talk about topics that are happening now. A big talker in a good way.

Learned more from her class than any other class Ive taken in college. Great professor!

She is very funny and fair; values participation.

Shes very funny,her lectures are easy to understand and she values participation.

She will probably be your favorite professor in college. I enjoyed going to class. Always had great and inclusive conversation during each session, she's really funny, and we even went outside during class periods for a fresh breath.

Professor Ramirez is a star professor and works hard to be really engaging for students. Syllabus is very clear, so with purposeful discussion and great attendance, there's no way you'll make less than an A in the class. Class discussions are great, and the course material is sweet! If you're thinking of taking the class, don't think, just enroll!

I would definitely take this class again and encourage others to take this class. I learned so much new information and have had a very fun time doing it. Overall, I would encourage others to take not only this class, but also other classes that she teaches because I would certainly as well in the future.

Dr. Ramirez allowed class to be enjoyable while also learning about the serious topics that the course tackles. Attendance is a big factor of your grade, so please show up to class, and if there is a reason you are unable to attend, Dr. Ramirez is understanding and won't hold it against you.

She is a great teacher as well as person. She truly cares about everyone and their grades.

Great teacher and person.

The class is well organized when it comes to assignments, which are all done through Blazeview. If you get a chance to take this class definitely take Dr. Ramirez, you won't regret it.

This class is very easy. A very important thing is participation, if you participate it would make the class so much fun because debating with each other in a friendly manner hearing and understanding different peoples' point of views. A great teacher in all and is very caring.

A.J. genuinely cares about her students. She cares more about the discussions during class and making sure that everyone is able to understand the material than about assigning homework or creating super hard tests. Overall 10/10 professor, and I would highly recommend her to any student.

Dr. A.J. Ramirez is a great professor; Her humor and ability to make personal connections make her lectures enjoyable. To pass, you must be present in class; that's a significant part of your grade. The work is not as challenging. Just ensure you read the required text. Overall, this was a great course and an excellent experience for me.

Great Professor! She made the class enjoyable and relatable. She encourages participation and is willing to work with you. You must attend class as attendance is mandatory.

The class that i had to take made me a little uncomfortable at first but this professor made it twice as fun and I would look more into this subject ad try to take this professor again!

This class is very easy! Everything is based off the books she assigns and the workload is manageable. A great class to take!

I don't even know where to begin with Dr. Ramirez. All I can say is that she is by far one of the best professors i've ever had. She is funny and sweet, but she also is an amazing educator. She finds fun ways to spark conversation during lecture and she challenges us to think in ways we aren't used to, without overloading assignments!

Dr. Ramirez is a great professor ! I would highly recommend taken one of her classes !

Class was very interesting and fun.

Dr. Ramirez is one of the best professors I've had. She is very engaging with the class. She encourages participation and for students to share their own opinions on the subject matter. The exams and homework are easy to complete and pass as long as you read and think critically. I learned a lot from taking this course. Had the best lectures!

Allot of controversial class discussions that help every student get engaged in class topics. Professor Ramirez cared about each and every student and helped us pass her class the best she could. She has outstanding teaching methods and is overall an amazing teacher.

Dr. Ramirez was one of the best teachers I've had at Valdosta State so far. She's very down to earth and relatable and she works with you as long as you communicate with her. Her quizzes aren't hard at all if you actually come to class and read the book. The book isn't super long and it's actually interesting.

One of the best professors you'll ever have

She gives great lectures and is one of the best professors I've ever had.

She's one of the few professors that I've enjoyed, she was funny, and didn't give out much work. A few discussions, and a couple of exams.

Absolutely amazing professor. Every class was talkative and engaging. Usually was out earlier than the scheduled time and she accepted excusable absences. Attendance is required but she made the class worth going to every time. Class activities, tests, and the finals were all online and very easy. Loved this class!
