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.

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.

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!

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 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.

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.

I earned an A in Sociology 116 with this professor and took her again for 112 and 115. During that time, I faced personal challenges but chose to continue.
