My first semester in college I took four online classes which were very helpful and took up as much time as I figured except for this one. If you plan on taking other classes, or even working part-time forget it. All of my other teachers were very nice about letting me retake exams if there was a problem with my computer but not her you get a zero.

This class is mostly discussion posts. Professor Camelot writes her own lectures (and they're not PowerPoints, which is nice), and they're easily digestible. The textbook was also free. She gives really good feedback on essays as well.

Sucks when you try hard in all of your classes and get all A's and one C. I spent so much time on my final paper and included as many sources as I could. A 10-15 page paper? It's never that serious.

Professor Camelot is one of the worst professors I have ever had. Her expectations and demands are way too high for her quality of teaching. I learned absolutely nothing in her class and spent the entire course stressed. She will give you no more than 5 days to complete essays that have extraneous demands. DO NOT TAKE PROFESSOR CAMELOT!

If you enjoy sociology, I highly recommend Prof Camelot. She clearly cares about what she teaches, and her weekly updates makes it feel like you actually have a professor despite the online format. However, this isn't an easy A class- she has high expectations. If you follow her grading rubrics and submit discussion posts on time, you'll do well.

Professor Camelot did a fabulous job teaching this class. Although it was online (no meetings), it was organized and accessible. There is a fair amount of reading (2-3 ch./week). There are 2 papers which account for a majority of your grade. You need to participate at least 3 times a week on discussion boards. Stay organized & you will do well.

Do not take this class. Seriously, the amount of material presented is ridiculous. She requires 5 discussion board posts every week. You have to post on three separate days of the week. During busy weeks, this absurd rule is hard to remember. Overall, I felt unsupported by Professor Camelot and DO NOT recommend this class. :)

The format of the on line class is awful. There are no lecture videos, only a zillion documents to read and understand. She is a very stingy grader. Many of the exam questions were detailed questions from the readings.

The textbook was free which is nice. About how much work you would expect for an 8-week class but she still is very tedious with her requirements. Discussions become annoying since you need to participate at least 5 times. Papers also have a lot of requirements but they're not that difficult. Her lectures were easy to understand but they were long.

She assumes that you will devote your life to her class, and your grade will constantly be on the line. She requires a ridiculous amount of participation for discussion boards, her expectations are unrealistic, and her course material is subjective to her progressive beliefs. I felt targeted for having traditional family values. DO NOT take her.

If you have a disability or you work to support yourself, avoid her class. Locks assignments the second theyre due (even tho syllabus says -10%/day), doesn't allow you to get ahead on discussions, if you meet the # of posts you still get docked if theyre not done on different days. Very dry, I don't feel comfortable coming to her for help again.

Not the worst class I've ever taken but the 5-8 page papers were pretty unnecessary, especially for a 100-level, intro course. Long lectures that were all written, which took time but easy to go back and reference. Discussion criteria were strange as you had to respond to responses, but again it wasn't horrible.

0/10 would recommend. By far the worst most critical professor. Docks a good amount of points for finishing assignments early and for having a single grammatical mistake. Bland, boring, and extremely harsh. This class was a horrible experience and I have never felt like a bigger idiot in my life. TONS of reading, lectures, and discussion boards.

Professor Camelot makes the course unnecessarily long and difficult. She posts so many lectures per week that include long videos or movies. The course says you should invest about 6 hours per week to be successful, but that's more like 6 hours per day. Avoid her unless you absolutely have to take her class.

Professor Camelot's SOC1 class has high expectations, but engaging with the coursework pays off. The free textbook and online format are conveniences, while Unstuck study proved a valuable study tool along with the lectures. Overall, a rewarding experience for sociology enthusiasts.

Took her 8 week class this fall and got an A. There is definitely a lot of reading and she requires more work than the average for discussion boards, however the work is doable and if you follow her assignment instructions and rubric you will receive an A.

Honestly, this class is decently hard, but if you want to LEARN online, this is the teacher for you. She assigns a lot (I took 21 credits sem) and could keep up with the work. I loved this class, and I use the knowledge I learned every day. Overall, she is a tough grader and expects a lot, but you will learn about sociology and how it affects you.
