exams are very easy, but material is self taught
very nice professor
easy exams (scantron), use study guide, fun class, all self-taught
interesting class, very kind teacher
Very easy tests!!! The first page,all the answers were A, second B and so on... I got 100%.
Awsome prof. Liked her class a lot, look forward to Soc200
difficult to understand
This was the most boring class I've ever taken. It's good if you like m/c tests, but if you don't you're screwed. Very difficult to understand and couldn't explain herself if asked a question
Taught maybe two classes, all the others were "oral presentations" tested random facts, assigned half textbook per exam, hard to get her assistance, but does know her information!
She was nice, but her tests are NOT easy unless you figure out what she wants on her extremely unpredictable tests. What she looks for is useless statistical information, info that does not pertain to main topics (she likes the itty bitty details).
shes the best teacher ihave ever had, shes soooo easyy, n shes so nice, she gives u so many chances 2 do better, so many chances to rewrite the tests. esay A. i recommend her 2 everyone.
She seems kind of dumb..doesn't understand simple questions and reads right off her slides all class (which are full of mistakes). Your class mark consists entirely of 60 mc questions which are ambiguous and focus on useless details. For those uninterested in sociology, it's an easy class to pass.
She was a great teacher. She is a very caring person. I would recommend her class.
Very easy teacher who makes you feel like she wants you to pass. Gives you lots of chances to do well.
What a great professor! Seriously! You are lucky if you get her! She knows her stuff and really gets her points across! Very encouraging & cares about students!
She's awesome. I'd take her class again anytime. She truly cares about her students and their success. great person, awesome instructor
she was awesome, very very very easy. u dont have to do hardly anything in her class. plus she is super nice.
Anita is a wonderful and caring prof. She is extremely helpful and wants her students to succeed.
What an awesome teacher! The class was very easy but still interesting. She is super nice and helpful and there is hardly any work to do in the class! I would highly recommend her
Sooo nice! Yes she uses her Power Point a lot.. but who doesn't like to get the notes word for word on paper which is exactly what the tests are based on! Very little assignments and no final!
Anita is SO nice! Fairly easy marker and tests are very easy if you look over your power point notes! Text material doesn't appear very often on tests
Anita is a very caring prof. Her students really matter to her. She is extremely understanding and she always makes time for her students. The class was interesting and the material was fairly simple. I would recommend this class to everyone!
Prof Anita VanWyk made this class enjoyable.She cared so much about her students she actually called students @ home during a snow storm to not attend class.She made you interested in the subject because of how eager she was to teach.Definately recommend for 1st year students not sure what to take.Easy tests as long as you do the work.
Although she is really friendly and a great person, I found myself a bit lost with her teaching mechanism...she had a hard time making certain points clear. Definately found out that Sociology is not my thing.
really hard to get a hold of! super ****!
She is super kind and helpful!
What an awesome teacher! The class was interesting but you need to work. Loads of work!
Super! Super
Very Helpful
The best sociology prof I've ever had. Lots of class interaction.
She was a great teacher. She is a very caring person
She's a really nice teacher! And the class is really easy, but also really boring. Your mark consists of a presentation+essay, midterm, final exam and a take home exam. People usually do good on the take home exam and presentation... she's a very easy essay marker as well. exams were esay! she gives you the answers before the exam!
Easy Class. Very interesting subject; however, the class left something to be desired. Nice lady, her accent takes a couple classes to adapt to.
good teacher
Boring subject but she makes it interesting. She is good and very helpful
She's a nice person and I can tell that she cares about her students. Her exams are also super easy. That being said, I found the classes painfully boring and totally uninformative.
Good teacher, she is a very helpful and gives notes very relevant to the exam.
Such a nice lady and funny accent.Gives exam prep which helps so much with exams.Class sometimes boring but not bad.
Great Class. She cares and is easy to approach. Exam is difficult, but exam prep is a great
The best! She helped me a lot
Great notes relevant to the exam
Besides getting used to her accent, this woman is da bomb! She is such a great teacher and passionate about sociology. Definitely recommend her
She is super nice and super easy. You listen to the lecture and take a few notes. Tests are super easy if you study just her notes.
Great class with good notes
Fantastic teacher. Very easy and helpful with assignments and test prep. Class content isn't always exciting but she loves what she is teaching.
very kind
Easiest prof you'll ever have. Spoon-feeds you everything you need to know. Don't use anything other than the notes she provides to study for exams. When she says MC is drawn from what she's given you, she means it word for word.
Such an easy course. Great teacher, can be boring at times but when is school not? Easy way to get your 3 credits and really not too hard.
Awesome teacher. Provides notes and clear evaluation sheets
Easiest class so far! She gives out the questions and answers to the exams. Super friendly too. One thing I would have appreciated though would be a little more class control. Many students spoke over her and with no resistance making hearing difficult.
At first I didn't know what sociology was. But I still don't know what it is but I still REALLY enjoyed this class and she is a very easy marker and is very friendly.
Anita is a really easy going prof. Her accent is quite thick so its hard to understand her but she most of what she says is on her powerpoints. There is a group presentation, a few small papers as well as 2 midterms with simple multiple choice and short answer and a final that is online as is only 10 questions. Take this class with her!
The easiest class with the nicest professor. for anyone wanting to boost gpa this is the class to do it. such an easy grader, hands marks out and just wants everyone to get an A! Besides that, I did actually learn a lot about sociology and it was fun and interesting.
Van Wyk is dedicated to the topic. Few simple but time consuming assignments. If you attend class and get the answer for 20 mc and 2-3 sa for each chapter that are potentially on the test and study them, you will pass. She didn't give questions she hadn't already reviewed. Can be hard to listen to lectures if you already know the content.
She has a very thick accent that can be quite difficult to understand; and therefore I feel that I learned little throughout the course. She is a nice enough lady, and I enjoyed her character. The tests were not hard once I figured out that everything that's "on the test" ISN'T all on the test at all; although she does choose questions from them.
Very straight-forward class. No surprises. Test questions come straight from her notes. They are a lot of pages which makes for a lot of studying, but it's worth it, and the answers are spoon fed to you. Tests are non-cumulative. Group project is very open ended and laid back (+ you are graded individually). You can just make a game for the class.
Anita is perhaps the easiest university prof you will ever come across. You print off the notes that she's made and she tells you EXACTLY what will be on the exam, and still kids complain it's too hard. Seriously?! It's laid out like a grade 2 class. Lots of guest speakers which are interesting. Anita is a great lady, don't take advantage of her!!
Anita's class was the best. Mid terms and final so straightforward easy A
Anita is an awesome prof, her class made me decide to minor is sociology. Very clear on her expectations.
This was a great intro to soc class! If you study her notes they're the exact same as the test and everything is also online which is super helpful. It can be easy to fall back on work and miss something if you don't check to see what's due though.
Easiest class I've taken. Anita gives questions for exams, all you need to do is study answers. For the final she also gives the option of doing write-ups for 100% rather than a written exam! I wouldn't say I remember the content I learned, but my grade really helped my GPA. She is kind and approachable although lectures are somewhat dull.
Anita is the nicest and easiest prof you will meet at UFV! Absolute loved taking her class a great way to boost up your gpa! Exams super easy too!!
She is the nicest professor in all of UFV, I highly recommend taking her for Sociology. Also a very easy class, if you show up and read the notes you'll pass
Super easy class, a lot of content to study for midterms, but its given to you so if you study you will get a good mark!
Anita is truly an inspiring professor. I have to say, I have never enjoyed a class outside of Biology so much and I enjoyed this one a lot , 90% because of her. She is interested in the material, she allows students to invite in guest speakers ( on their behalf of presenting) and promotes class discussion. Amazing class atmosphere :)
Anita is the best! She gives you the multiple choice, vocab and short answer questions that will be on your midterms, but to get the answers, you have to show up to class. There's one group project with a partner, and 2 assignments on top of that. Our class also had an option of dong a final assignment rather than the exam. Her lectures can be dry.
I love Anita. Her knowledge shows in her class and she teaches you exactly what you need to succeed in class. No guessing. She cares about her students and welcomes all opinions. She is excellent. Exams are multiple choice, and short answers and group projects. I wish she taught more classes as I would love to take a class with her again.
Anita was a ok, and I say that because she is great, but her assignments were unclear and the tests were not outlined well, a lot of guess work, thick accent made it harder. She gives you the answers for the exams but make sure you study them they're not 100% word for word but you need to know the info!! easy A if you show u and study a lot!!
Loved having Anita!! She really did want us to pass. Her quizzes were easy, because she pretty much gave us the answers prior to. This actually helped me learn the info better. Her classes seem to drag on, and sometimes she is hard to understand, but if you're looking for an easy laid back class, this is a good one.
This class is the best GPA booster you can take. Super easy, one quiz a week, one 200-500 word assignment every other week, 2 10 question midterms. Interesting material as well. Anita was super kind and caring and responded to my emails quickly and had marks posted ASAP. Great class and a great prof! 10/10 would recommend to anybody and everybody
Anita is one of the best professors for sociology at UFV . You dont need any textbook for this class. Submit your assignments that are worth 1% each on time and learn the slides which she provides in an easy format, you are going to rock this course. Quite easy than I expected. Very polite, caring, easy marker professor. 5/5 for her.
Very nice, feel bad for her because she didn't receive a lot of respect from the people in my class. Most talked, or skipped, or didn't do the presentations (which she said she won't make anyone do what they don't want to do). Extended the deadline for one of my papers, very thoughtful and caring thing to do. All lectures are online.
Gpa booster. lectures are dry. two midterms that are word for word the notes she gives you. one paper and one presentation but she's a super easy marker.
Decent teacher, simple course with somewhat interesting lectures.
She's very nice but sometimes it's hard to understand what she's saying because of her accent. Small papers due every week but are just completion marks so don't stress about it. The group project was really fun and she was really easy going about it.
She is the best professor at ufv.
When you see her name, TAKE HER CLASS!! you're welcome! Her tests are easy enough if you read and understand her lectures and the assignments are also very easy. Although I said "easy" many times, you will still learn a lot from this course. I did!
Anita is probably the easiest prof you can get at UFV. Every week you need to complete an assignment which is usually 1 page long of your opinions on the subject. Be prepared to talk in front of the class becuz she makes you summarize what you wrote about and share your thoughts with the class. She gives all of the answers to the exams. Great prof!
Overall a good Professor and I would a course one more time.
Easiest class you will take in your life. The material is boring but it will be worth the A+. Minimal amount of work put in just make sure you study from her notes for the tests.
So caring and nice, loved this class. Great start to sociology.
best teacher
This prof is messed up. I'm a 4th year student and I've never seen a more disorganized course. All the testing was previously online and then someone complained to the dean that it wasn't challenging enough so she made all the testing and work way harder. It gave the students a whiplash. She is very strict yet doesn't ever give a straight answer.
Anita is one of the best professors at the UFV. She works very hard to make sure students are not stressed about what is on the exam or not. She is very clear on exam content, quiz content and even made quizzes available to write online! To those who are saying she is "messed up" are extremely disgraceful especially since grades are not in yet.
Very good professor. She help us to achieve good grade and make guidelines straightforward to understand. I am international student and this course help me in writing, even despite English is my second language. Anita Ma'am was kind and very clear on how to get best grade in the course. I recommend her 10/10.
I loved this class, it was great to have discussion on real issues and matters with my classmates, offering multiple different perspectives and points of view on subject matters, including topics such as beauty standards, body image, artificial intelligence, and more. Midterm and final was easy if you studied well enough! Great class!
