She Talks rather quitetly, and is not really ready for class. She hands out prined powerpoint slides, which she doesn't follow in order, or use on a projector. She goes on tangents frequently, and needs a few speech courses BADLY. Most of her information seems to be straight out of the book. I dropped this class early because i couldn't stand it.

She is one one of the nicest teachers ive had. She knows her subject and makes it interesting. She gives lots of praise on papers and exams for doing well, which is not hard to do. All attendance and homework grades are added to exams so if you do them its nearly impossible to do badly. My lowest grade was like a 104.

LOVED HER!! She is the sweetest professor. She really cares a lot about her students and is willing to help. She gives extra credit for attendance and she also assigns assignments. I was really sad leaving this class. I had gone in for an easy A, and came out with a new perspective. I would recommend her, unless you don't like laid-back classes!

She's a really awesome teacher. She's a bit unconventional, and is very laid back. She'll help you with more than just sociology. A flaw she occasionally has is that she's unorganized and isn't very technology knowledgeable. Other than that, her class is extremely easy and interesting.

Impossible not to make an A. Didnt even buy the book, you can turn in work for the first test on the last day and still get full credit. Really nice and helpful, super easy class. Gives you all the answers to the test before the test. Class was supposed to last 1.5 hours, we never stayed more than 30 min once. Highly recommended.

If you had a good reason for being absent, you could still get roll points if you email her and let her know. Tests are super easy if you study the study guides because she gives the answers.

She learns most of her student names which is crazy given that she teaches hundreds of students. Easiest class you will ever take. There is no way you can't make an A in her class.

Angela Marson is hands down the best teacher I have ever had. She does go off an tangents and talks about REALLY personal information, but it's hilarious. Throw the syllabus away, she gets way behind. She truly cares about her students and wants you to succeed. She is the ONLY option for this class, in my opinion.
