Great instructor, loves discussions. Speaks fast but I found her easy to follow. She gives quizzes after every chapter, if you don't show up you don't get credit for the quiz. Quizzes are helpful study guides. She is very strict with tardiness and attendance, but will help if needed. I would LOVE to take her again. 1 group presentation. not a fan.

I took this class for Sociology 101 and really enjoyed it. Ms, Andrada is quite young so she can better relate to both her younger and older students. She talks very fast but she def knows what she's talking about. She loves discussions and IS VERY OPEN. Class will consist of long powerpoint lectures followed by a quiz at the end of each chapter.

My favorite teacher ever!! Don't listen to any of the other comments, if you want to be in a fun class with an amazing and enthusiastic teacher that makes you excited to go to class pick this teacher! She's hilarious and a genuinely great person I can't express my love for this woman, highly recommend her class for anyone.

There need to be more teachers like Ms. Andrada if not only for the fact that she cares about her students and takes the time to make sure they understand the concepts, explains all of her lectures clearly and give more than enough time to complete assignments. Just reading the lectures and studying the notes you should be able to pass with an A+

She is so freaking cool. She discloses some pretty personal information but it's funny. In fact, I think it strengthened her connection to students because she showed us she's a real person with a real life, not just our professor. Her tests are extremely easy if you study the open-book quizzes she usually gives after every chapter.

Ive never been in a class that was so involved. And that is because of the Instructors ability to make people feel relaxed and comfortable. She Well Spoken and Enjoys teaching. I would highly recommend Amy Andrada. pc

Prof. Andrada is a clear-liberal-feminist, not a bad thing, but she is clearly trying to impose her views. Do not ever ask her anything that goes against her views. I would take her again. She's eye candy & a very intelligent person, whom is to be admired.

good class. teacher is gorgeous. makes it a bit harder to listen but overall good teacher.

Ms. Andrada is a great professor. She is halarious and always invloves her personal life with the lecture. She communicates very well with her students. You won't regret it!

Great teacher!! Really love her lectures, makes things interesting, really inspirational, and good looking!! Take her you wont regret it

Hates republicans. Absolutely loves liberal ideas. Is all about feminism. Doesn't seem to understand economics. You should take her.

Class was okay. The discussions were good. Nice person.

DEFINITELY WOULD TAKE THIS SPECTACULAR PROFESSOR'S CLASS AGAIN! You can tell she cares very much and wants to make a difference in students lives. Engages the class a lot, clear grading criteria. Attendance MANDATORY (but she's such a good teacher you would even look forward to an 8am class with her seriously) Mature students only.

AMAZING professor at SMC! She is clear on what she expects from her students and writing assignments are easy if you do the readings. Lectures are super interesting and clear! she is also very funny! I would definitely take her again

Andrada is an amazing professor and you will be lucky to get her class. Clear and concise. She cares about the students and is relate-able. Course work is easy if you go to class and interesting. Take her at SMC!!

Professor Andrada uses Sociology to explain why there are so many injustices still in existence today. Amy teaches that we fight with the weapon of education to make a change in our society. The students who left bad reviews said no such thing in our class. I loved taking Professor Andrada this summer.

This is the best class I've ever taken at AVC. Professor Andrada is unlike any professor I've ever had. She's absolutely hilarious and extremely relatable, but she also knows what she's talking about. I learned a lot in her class, and it wasn't TOO hard. Exams are 100% just vocab. Every single one. There is a research project too! But take her!!

BEST class I've taken so far. She's hilarious and an amazing professor, she really captures your attention during lectures. Tests are all vocab so if you memorize those you're good, research project is long but if you follow her advice you'll for sure get an A on it. I love her and would definitely take her again. 10/10 highly recommend.

Andrada is an amazing teacher. She does so much to help her students and she really loves teaching and sociology. Tests are 100% vocab and are very simple. Two essays, very easy and the research essay. Research project can be difficult but she's there to help. Take her if you need Sociology, she's wonderful.

I took Mrs. Andrada Fall 2015. She takes some warming up to, but by the end of the semester you'll love her. She uses profanity a lot, so don't take her if you don't like that. 4 tests, 2 writing assignments, and 1 research paper. All tests and assignments are very easy as long you pay attention to lecture. Offer lots of EC. Very enjoyable class.

I took this professor in Spring 2014, absolutely amazing. She use blackboard so grades always up to date and grade by the point system. Always turn in your work on time because she does not accept late work. Learn the vocabulary overall great class to take because you will be able to understand society.

She does not have mid-term or final exam, only 4 exams and 2 essays; however, one of those essays is 100pts and even if you got all perfect scores until this point, you receive an automatic F and the comprehensive exam she gives for make up is way harder, so do the essay and you will pass. She doesnt know how to talk to students correctly in email.

Professor Andrada is very passionate about Sociology and enjoys hearing other students' perspectives. She is a great teacher.

Professor Andrada is HILARIOUS! Very straightforward. She is always open for other students perspective. Test were easy, just remember names, vocab, and ppts. Did 2 writing assignments ( super easy) and a research project (super easy). No midterm or final exam. Never bought a book, not entirely necessary, but is good to have.

She is light hearted, funny (When time allows), and is good at making the material relate to you as an individual. However, don't take here light hearted nature for granted, she does lay down the law as well as what she expects from you as a student. She is very clear about her grading and does hold you accountable. If you fail, it's YOUR fault.

Even though there are times where she'll cuss like a sailor, Professor Andrada is definitely a teacher who loves what she teaches and will make sure you learned what you needed to learn. She is EXTREMELY entertaining, so being boring will not be a problem. As long as you show up and pay attention to her, the entire class is a worthwhile breeze.

Amy Andrada is a great teacher. She is very clear with what she wants and expects. Beware she uses a lot of profanity but it keeps you up and alert. she gives 4 test which are all based on vocabulary which she provides on blackboard under flash cards and you can print it out and 1 group presentation which is pretty easy

Great teacher! Supper passionate & funny, it makes class super easy to understand. Her teaching methodology is life & just the over all way she presents herself. Take her!

She was a great teacher! Very informative, very involved with the class, and made the class very enjoyable. Would definitely take another class with her.

She gives you many opportunities to show what you know about the subject. There are a series short essays, online reading quizzes, and pretty difficult tests. Offers tons of extra credit and willing to go above and beyond to help her students understand the material. Great professor!

Originally thought she was unwelcoming and pretentious, but because I took this course online I didn't have to deal with her in person. She gives good feedback and will help if you're clear and straight forward. Emails back within 24 hours. Lot of coursework, so maybe take this with easier classes. Overall, I learned a lot.

She made sociology interesting. Her attitude is on point she's real and genuine. Don't slack off or try to be disrespectful her own students will check you because they have her back. Gives quizzes however if you pay attention in class and do the pre-quizzes you'll be fine. Pay attention to her lectures and done be afraid to ask questions.

I took her Soc101 online course spring of 2017 and I really enjoyed it! It seems like a lot at first, but the work is actually enjoyable to do. She assigns Ted talks for every discussion board and assigns documentaries for weekly papers! The quizzes were once a week as well and only 6 questions. I would definitely recommend her online course!

Great Professor! Taken for granted because she is young but intelligent and hilarious! taken during summer and was fast paced. Great weekly topics and videos. Test were a bit tough not really relatable to discussion make sure you read the Ebook to study for test. Overall one of the best inspirational professors Ive taken.

favorite teacher so far. no quizzes, just 4 exams. All work is turned in & graded online. a lot of homework but little assignments. Two assignments a week of a 500 word based on documentary that is assigned and a TEDTALK of 200 word. Book is provided. No printing required. Lectures quick but unnecessary, work needed to pass is online. No late work.

I want everyone to experience how nice she is, never learned or related to a teacher like her I can't even describe it. Shes the reason I'm switching my major to Soc. She really is an amazing mom, women, and teacher. Please take her!Summer in class 2 papers 2 tests online,lots extra credit. Very understanding with attendance im a single mom & work

Amy Andrada is one of the greatest professors at AVC! If youre looking for a professor that is an educator first and your friend second, this is her! Her lectures and very interesting and interactive! The work load is very reasonable as well. She is a fair grader and will give you the feedback if you request it. I would take this class again!

She is amazing and really enjoys what she does. She uses a lot of profanity but i didnt mind it. She is relateable and just an overall really cool professor. I am minoring in Sociology because of her.

Professor Andrada is excellent! She's very well-spoken and makes learning about Sociology interesting and exciting. Her lectures are thorough and the assigned homework fits in with the materials provided. You do have to be active in discussions throughout the week but it's easy to get in that groove. Highly recommend if you're ready to learn!

I took this class over the summer online. The rubric is very clear, and all the assignments are relevant to the topic. Professor Andrada is very educated in her field and brings topics that are very relevant to everyday life. There were weekly discussions, weekly quizzes, and a final 5-page paper. I would 100% recommend taking her class.

My class was fully online (Ded) and she assigned a 5 question quiz with a 5 minute timer and a Ted Talk discussion Board every week. You need to constantly stay on top of things or your grade will go down since she has strict guidelines for her discussion boards. There's a research paper due at the end relating to a film and a midterm quiz.

Professor Andrada was such a fun professor. She is relatable and understands that sometimes life gets in the way. As long as you participate and communicate with her, there's no reason you won't do well in her class. She is really funny so if you're looking for a SOC class that isn't too serious all of the time, she's your lady!

Amazing teacher and great lectures. Yes, there is a lot of homework and work to do in the course but don't feel it is too overwhelming and it fair.

She is a very fair professor. She gives a good amount of extra credit. and there is a LOT of reading. but its not bad if you make sure you DO NOT LET IT PILE UP!! and if you just keep track of your work you will be fine. she is not strict on the only essay and she will most likely give you a good grade as long as you try to follow the guidelines.

She is incredibly clear on when the assignments are do. She has preperation videos to help prepare you for the assignments, and if you are confused on any of the material she is more than happy to elaborate. I would recommend you take her if you like consistency in assignments. Overall great professor!

Professor Andrada is a great instructor. She gives you a very clear rubric for grading, and if you just sit and do the work, you will pass the class. She is very helpful when you have questions or don't understand something. She will take the time to help you out. Professor Andrada's teaching style makes the class fun and entertaining.

This class was well structured and informative. As long as you pay attention and do the online work you will learn. Only criticism is being out into groups

This class has a good amount of work for a 101 in my opinion, but it's consistent every week as in, you know what you get every week. There's a lot of writing for the book assignments but the discussions are pretty straight forward. Honestly just pay attention and do the work and you'll be fine and she cares about her students too.

Dr. Andrada gives impressive lectures and is open to listening to everyone's opinion. She also cares for her students and gives extra help to those who need it. This class has weekly assignments, but she'll guide you through them. She gives a study guide for exams and pre-recorded lectures, which is helpful.

She is passionate about sociology and makes it very informative. You need to stay on top of the weekly assignments!

I recommend Professor Andrada - she makes even the most difficult concepts easy to understand. Her workload is reasonable, but it's important to complete assignments on time. Professor Andrada is always available to answer questions and takes the time to provide thorough explanations. She's an excellent teacher, nice, supportive, and encouraging.

She is really amazing and passionate about the lectures. She helps you understand every concept if you're having trouble. As long as you pay attention, do the work, and turn it in on time you will be fine.

Dr. Andrada is a great professor and super passionate! I enjoyed the class a lot. Lectures are super engaging and interesting. Work load is pretty generous, but necessary to work through the topics.. do it as soon as you can cause it can be easy to fall behind and hard to catch up! Professor offers extra credit and others to help through the course

I enjoyed this class. Although there are a lot of assignments, they are fairly easy to complete. Dr. Andrada also has study sessions and tutors on campus if you need any help, and she offers extra credit! If you want to take an Into to Soc class, (and want to actually learn something) take hers. She is very knowledgable and helpful.

This class is accelerated, and it is a lot of reading. She is very understanding and tells you everything how it is from the work to grading. Don't be afraid to shoot her an email about anything because she is very nice and will email you back! Have good time management and read all modules(don't skip around) to understand all work and you'll pass!
