Fantastic Professor. She truly cares about her students and wants to see them succeed as long as they are also putting in work to be in class & review. She makes sure you have everything you need for your tests and gives extra credit towards your tests. I learned a lot in this class and would definitely take it again. I recommend taking her class.

Prof. Dove is just the best. She doesn't share the power points, but gives you plenty of time to write your notes. She spends a lot of time explaining the info, giving examples, and telling stories so you really understand the chapter. Plenty of extra credit opportunities, and makes study guides based on the test. She really loves what she teaches.

Prof. Dove is one of the kindest people I have ever met. She truly cares about people and her class is very interesting and she makes it very fun. I loved the assignments and she also gives study guides 1 week prior to exams. If you complete, and know the study guide you will ace the exams. She really is one of the best professors ever!!

There are only a few assignments to turn in for this class, otherwise, your overall grade depends on your test grades. Prof Dove gives good feedback and checks her email outside of class hours (thankfully). The chapter readings and assigned videos were long but actually really interesting! Final is taken at campus.

Ms. Dove could easily be the best teacher you could ever have. Completely amazing lectures, tests are fairly similar to the review guide, short weekly assignments. If you really work hard, there should be no problem for you to get an A. The teacher is genuinely caring and open to any opinions or ideas. Strongly recommended for sociology!

The online section was amazing. Prof Dove's slides are engaging with links to outside videos to make sure the content is clear. She puts questions from the videos on her tests. The only negative is that she will post one week at a time in Blackboard so there is no working ahead. Her calendar helps with planning forward.

She was always very straightforward and didn't really show much sympathy, which made it feel like she didn't care. So, just be aware of that going in. Honestly, I'm surprised by some of these other comments, it makes me wonder if we even had the same professor! Personally, I would definitely recommend taking a different professor if you can.
