I think she is a bomb ass teacher! I love her to death, she is very interesting! If you have to take Sociology I would definitely recommend her. Great personality!
She has to be one of my favorite teachers that I've had! She makes class very interesting and is very energetic! I have enjoyed this class, and I would recommend her to anyone needing Sociology!
Ms Dove is a great teacher. She is young and can appeal to the younger students. Always have great discussions. Do your homework and study guides and you'll make an "A" withou any problem.
Love her! She is an awesome teacher with a lot of passion about her subject! Do your hw and study guide and you are almost guaranteed an A. She has a GREAT work ethic! Already recommended her to others.
Her lectures were interesting and inclusive. I got so much out of this course! She makes the material comprehensible and helps her students relate it to their own life experiences.
Great Teacher! They don't get any better than April Dove. She brings the subject to life and makes it extremely interesting while getting students involved in discussions.
April Dove is an excellent teacher. Very understanding and easy to talk to. I would recommend this class to anyone, regardless of your opinion of sociology. April brings the subject to life with her passion and desire to get the students involved in discussion. Thank you April! (go colts!)
This is one of the best professors at Tech. Sociology is required for most majors and this class is fun and engaging with Ms.Dove. I was dreading this class but I learned a lot and she is highly reccommended for a reason!
April is a great teacher. She makes learning fun. The book isnt used alot, her own information is easier to understand
i look forward to this class everyday. april makes this class very interesting. we hardly need the book her lectures are that thorough
I love April. I have already recommended several students to her class. I wish she taught another class just so I could be her student again. She's young, energetic, passionate and full of life. Go Game****!
Prof. Dove is seriously awesome. She super fun and definitely knowledgeable about sociology. I would recommend this class to ANYONE. She also uses her hands a lot and does this robot thing when she gets really into the discussion. Very engaging class!
Dedicated teacher! You can tell she loves the subject! All notes are from powerpoint slides. The study guides given b4 every test make getting an A easy. She is also FAST at getting the grades up online which was super convenient. The 7 HW's given take thought, make sure you even take notes from the things she writes on the board!
She is the best!!!! as long as you take notes and do HW and study guides you shouldn't make less than an A.. She is a great teacher.
Very knowledgeable teacher! Her tests come straight from her powerpoints and she gives study guides. If you take notes, which by the way she tells u whats important, and answer the study guide questions you should make an A, like me ;] Pop quizez are open notes and make sure you answer every ? on the hw!
Dove is the Best of the Best
dove is by far the best teacher I've had at college, she is very helpful and makes this subject fun.
Absolutely AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
Mrs. Dove is really passionate about what she teaches, she makes it fun and interesting. Very helpful when in need of help. Attend class and pay attention easy A :D
Very helpful, passionate about what she teaches, not boring keeps you listening
Amazing! She really cares about what she is teaching and keeps it down to earth with real examples - stuff you can relate too. She doesnt tolerate not keeping up, being late to class, not bring materials etc. Her tests reflect directly on the study guide she gives before every test! DO THE STUDY GUIDES!! definitely reccomend.
great teacher. i have so much fun in that class. be prepared to take notes. but she gives you study guides for tests and there is not a lot of homework for that class.
Mrs. Dove is one of the best teachers I have had. She always keeps things interesting and has wonderful stories. She is very energitic and gives cyrstal clear instructions when it come to what will be on the tests!
FANTASTIC instructor - the best I've had at Tech! If you didn't care much about Sociology before taking her class, you will by the time its over (and may truly enjoy it). Her lecture style is very animated, but it draws you in and holds your interest. ADVICE: DO the Learnsmart exercises & study guides and you WILL pass the class.
Awesome
She is absolutley the best ! I was so worried i wasn't going to like this class, but i totally fell in love with sociolgy ! She is so clear when it comes to teaching the material and gives study guides !!!!! She is honest and very funny :) love her
Loved her! my favorite teacher ever at Greenville Tech!
Mrs. Dove is one of the best sociologist teacher I know. She makes a sociology a fun subject. She provides study guides, if you do them, you will get a good grade on her exams. She also requires Learnsmarts which is 100% if you do them. She does slides but still have to handwrite or type the notes. Mrs. Dove is highly recommended.
She is an amazing sociology professor! She will make the class fun and interesting! just do the study guides and the learn smarts and you will have no problem in her class! One of the best professors at GVT
Hands down one of the best professors at GTC. She's and awesome person, and will impact your life. Just do your study guides and you're guaranteed a good grade.
Mrs.Dove is an excellent teacher. She really made the class interesting and her lectures actually keep your attention. This was one of my favorite classes solely because of the professor.
AWESOME! Easiest class at Tech. Very minimal work load. Only thing that is time consuming are the learn smart cards but they help you study for the test. Two writing assignments and four exams including the final.
Mrs. Dove is one my favorites @ Tech. She's earned her PHD in Sociology, so she knows her stuff and she knows how to TEACH it. She gives you study guides and you have the learn smarts to help you make a really good grade. She tells you what is expected from day 1. Her tests aren't hard because she makes everything "stick".....Take Mrs.Dove!!
Her class was worth every cent that I paid!! She's very smart! She makes it to where you understand Sociology because she uses lots of examples....Love Loved her class!
Awesome teacher! Highly recommend
Fav teacher I've had at tech yet. Had no interest in sociology now I look forward to it every week she makes it very interesting. She really knows her stuff and is funny too sometimes. Work is not difficult but do not miss a day or you will miss notes. Not to mention she is HOT. You rock Mrs.Dove!!!
Mrs. Dove is one of the most dedicated, intelligent professors I have ever had!
Amazing teacher!! She's young and hip! She relates to her students and a professional and personal level. Extremely thorough...her study guides are awesome! Just do the work and you will be guaranteed an A! Definitely take her class!!!
She made class so much fun and had interesting stories to tell! Do the study guides she gives and the tests will be a breeze! All of them are on scantrons too!
Professor Dove is a GREAT professor! She has a passion for teaching and it shows! She makes Sociology fun and interesting. Professor Dove gives you all the tools and knowledge that makes test and writing assignments a breeze. She is the most prompt professor when it comes to grading, test grades are in Blackboard the evening of test day!
She was a wonderful professor. She was always prompt to class and kept me entertained and wanting to learn.
Great professor. Two papers to write. Use her study guide and you will do well on the exams. Learn smart homework is tedious. I would definitely recommend her.
Great Prof. She is interesting, helpful, and knows her SOC!
loved her class! would take more classes from her if I could :)
AMAZING TEACHER!!!! She is so passionate about sociology! I thought sociology would be boring, but I LOVED it! She uses her own power points, articles, videos, and life-like examples to teach. I wish she taught all subjects! She types up a study guide and while it takes about an hour to do, it is EXACTLY what the test is! TAKE HER SOC CLASS!
I wish ALL professors could lecture as well as she can! It was actually interesting with her. Work is pretty self explanatory and easy as long as you take the time to do it, which isn't much. Study guides, she will stress on them. But SERIOUSLY do them, my grades on the exams were so much better! I wouldn't take soc with anyone else.
By far best teacher I've had in 2 yrs. USE THE STUDY GUIDE and you will make an A. She is very clear and SUPER FAIR. She lays it on the line what she wants from her students. DO the study guides. Interesting class and she isn't boring at all. Tells life stories and adds interest to class. I loved the class and looked forward to it. Great videos too
Easy teacher! Must attend class but it will pay off bc she gives u everything you need to do well....taken over the summer as a fast track and made and A....she keeps the class interested I so love this teacher!
Dove is a VERY good teacher. She is one of my favorites. She knows her stuff and makes it EXTREMELY easy for you to pass. She teaches using power points and videos and provides everything you will need for the test like study guides and answers. Just take good notes and do your learnsmarts and extra credit.
She is an awesome teacher. Super easy gives you a study guide and you will make a 100 if you know everything. Super nice and makes class interesting and fun.
She is a good teacher. She talks a lot. You have to come to class or you won't get the info that will be on the tests. She provides study guides and if you complete them you'll ace the tests. She's a nice lady and knows her material.
Barely studied throughout the entire semester and ended up with around a 97! She's very interesting, easy, and there are only 3 tests to study for the entire semester including the final! Very nice, helpful, and easy.
Great Teacher!!! She loves what she does and it shows! Loves her subject matter and talks non stop. Great class, easy to pass, just get the notes, study guide and the rest is history!
She is a great professor who loves her job. She does play by her rules and makes no exceptions
Professor April Dove is the best teacher I've ever met. She is always energetic and tries to help students. Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!
Wonderful teacher! She knows her stuff! Made this class very enjoyable. Do the study guide!!!
April Dove what an amazing and hyper teacher. LOVE LOVE LOVE her enthusiasm and the care she shows. Do the study guide, keep ur phone off, and enjoy the class. Her test are a little tricky, but all multiple choice.
Very easy class as long as you are there and take notes. She gives study guides based on her notes that covers everything on the tests. She is very helpful and teaches to where you can understand.
Amazing Teacher
I loved Dove's class! Lecture was always interesting. She provided study guides that covered everything you would need to know for her test. I don't see how you could make less than an A with the study guide. Had to write 2 papers, but they were short and she was very clear on how to write them. Only used the book for definitions for study guide.
My favorite professor thus far at Tech. We even keep in touch occasionally outside of class. Almost all of her 101 students returned for her experimental 205 class solely because she's that good. Lectures are engaging, structured, and just generally enjoyable. If you learn the material, you will make an A, but grades aren't handed out.
April Dove is the most entertaining Professor there is. Her lectures are clear and all her tests are on scantrons. She uses a website that is a great study tool for the tests, and you complete the activiteis for compeltion. She is charming and has great stories to share with the Class. She has this spunk that keeps you interested the entire class.
I believe "Dovey" as she is called, is my favorite female teacher at Greenville Tech. She is so far the only one I've had who is actually nice but still gets her point across! She's so good, (it sounds crazy) but she had me considering to change my major to Sociology. SHE IS GOOD!
Very organized instructor! She has a wonderful work ethic and it shows through her teaching. Wondeful instructor! 'Social Problems' was a controversial class but Professor Dove made it very interesting and fun to learn in her class.
Mrs. Dove is an incredible teacher! If you have to take Sociology 101 she is the teacher you want! Her lectures are great, they are so interesting and she always uses funny stories to relate to what we are learning. If you take notes and makes flashcards for vocabulary you will do well on the test.
Pretty clear on instructions, sends out constant reminders to complete assignments. Would def. take another class of hers if offered.
From birth til now best teacher I've ever had. Loves her subject, knows her subject, and loves to teach it. Take good notes, do the exam study guides, and get an A. You don't leave class with her agenda but with a better ability to think through maybe you should change yours. Took 101 this past summer and 205 in the fall, that says it all.
Mrs. Dove is a amazing teacher!!! I've taken her for soc 101 & 205. She's very passionate about her job which makes class very interesting. Easy A!
Loved her! Great teacher! The class isn't too hard and she always gives opportunities for extra credit! She even gives study guides, so as long as you do the study guides you will do fine on tests.
So HOT
Great instructor, and makes the content fun and refreshing.
Great professor. Intelligent, great speaker, dedicated to the students, and very easy on the eyes too. Would take again for sure.
I have had Mrs. Dove for SOC 100 AND SOC 205, she is a great teacher! Both classes are very interesting, the topics she chooses to talk about are very involving. I would definitely take another class from her if I had the chance!
Great class. She has strict rules but she's very helpful and her lectures are interesting. Workload is not bad at all. The study guides help for exams a lot. She's worth taking if you need the class. Plus, she's attractive. That helps.
The best there is. Take this class. You won't regret it.
April Dove is a great professor. If you pay attention in class, you will be good to go. She's very fun and intelligent and always kept the class awake.
UNBELIEVABLY amazing teacher! Prof. Dove has everything a good teacher should have. The lectures were so interesting, she uses every minute of class to give you as much as she can. Inspired me with many new ideas about life in general and while doing that she's funny and clear. Every topic explained with useful examples and so on, just perfect!
Mrs. Dove is an amazing instructor. Her powerpoints were hilarious. They actually make you think critically about how people act in certain situations. Tests are open book. You have about an hour to take them. The only thing I didn't like, was that the tests wouldn't allow you to change answers once you moved on to the next question.
Everything everyone else said is true. AMAZING teacher! Extremely fast response to emails. And SO kind and willing to answer questions. You can tell sociology is her passion. Try to get Prof. Dove! You won't regret it!
Mrs. Dove is awesome. The class was really straightforward essentially complete the learn smarts (automatic 100 for completion) she gives you a calendar month by month at the beginning so you know exactly what to do! Everything for the week is due by Sunday night at 11:59. The information is actually really interesting! She's a great teacher!
Pretty easy class, the 2 assignments are really easy. You do have to watch like 4 (40ish minutes each) movies throughout the semester and there will be questions on the following test about them and some of the video clips are annoying in the lecture slides because you have to watch all of them because often there are questions directly about them.
Of the dozen I've had at this school she has been my favorite professor thus far. Very good at teaching and keeping you engaged.
I took her SOC 101 class online: easiest class I've ever taken. All you do is read the chapters and look over the PowerPoint's she provides and tests are a breeze. I've never met her in person, but I can imagine she's very nice as she's always responded to my emails promptly. Wonderful, recommended class.
I took this online and I felt that the work load was appropriate for an entry level class. This is taught like it is meant to be an introduction to sociology. She was very encouraging and added videos and power point slides to the online instruction which made learning about sociology fun! Met her in person and she amazing! Definitely recommend!!!
Ms. April Dove is willing to work with you where she can if you have difficulties. Her class is straight-forward and easy to follow. Recommended.
An online class can be challenging but Dove did a wonderful job. Her personality came through the power points. This was my second time taking this class and I had a WAY better experience with her. Tests were more challenging as the semester went on but weren't terrible. Read the book, watch the videos and do your homework. Great class, great Prof.
This was my second online class and it was a wonderful experience. Prof. Dove followed the syllabus and made sociology fun by incorporating videos and real-life examples. 100 percent recommend this Prof.
Professor Dove is amazing!! I took her class online, and it was super easy!! She's very organized and follows the syllabus. Print out all notes and watch all the videos that she post on the notes!!
Professor Dove was amazing! I took her sociology class online and made a 98%. Tests and final were taken from home which was great. I would definitely take her again!
Very Sweet Teacher, she made sociology enjoyable. As long as you take good notes from the online reading material/assessments and review her power points (there are some very interesting facts/videos that keeps you engaged) you will pass. Tests and exams are all online and she has 2 writing assignments as well.
ok so never had a professor like April Dove. SHE IS HILARIOUS. Her powerpoints are everything I wish my other professors did. DEFINITELY TAKE SOC 101 WITH HER. Suuuuuuper easy A , I recommend doing it online.
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 should work somewhere else honestly, Greenville Tech doesn't deserve this gem of a professor.
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.
Professor Dove is very passionate about Sociology and how important it is to study. Her lectures are very well planned and the course is laid out perfect. Plenty of extra credit opportunities and concise study guides for exams. I wish I could take her again!
Amazing teacher . Assignments are well put together and easy to understand .
This professor has given me an entire semester of interesting lectures. I have never been bored and she loves what she does. Be warned that she dosent post slides. So you either get them in class or too bad.
Professor Dove is an amazing professor! I took her online class and highly recommend it. Her PowerPoints/Lectures are super interesting and she's also super funny. I would definitely take her again.
Professor Dove is amazing! I wish I could've taken this class in person, but regardless she made it enjoyable. The content in this course is so important and I enjoyed learning more about it. I read every chapter and watched all the videos she posts with lecture ppts and I made an A on every test. They're easy, especially if you READ THE CHAPTER.
Great professor! Great class.
This was BY FAR the easiest class I have ever taken. I took SOC online and It was literally just a free A by how easy it was. Definitely take this class if you need electives. There's also a Quizlet for almost every test.
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!
Prof. Dove is an amazing teacher! She is so sweet and her tests are fairly easy. Just make sure you read the chapter and its a 100!! She provides videos for each chapter to further your understanding and the videos are not boring! 10/10!
Take her! Her class is an easy A. Only assignments are learnsmart, tests, and 3 reflective assignments. We do have 10 tests though, almost one each week but they are super easy and are only 20 questions. Study a little and the rest is basic common sense.
This class was great! She is a wonderful professor, and I highly recommend taking this class.
I took this class online and Professor Dove was great, she explained things really well. Attendance was based on if you did the work every week. Overall, it was an easy class.
I highly recommend you take her SOC 101 class. She was very kind and understanding of issues you had outside of school that interfered with your work. She answers quickly to any questions you have. I love her feedback because she is very encouraging. As you can see she has a 5/5 rating. Trust this one, you'll love her!
Professor Dove is literally an angel. I took her class online and she was also so kind and quick to respond to emails. All of the tests are open notes and the final is as well only you have to use Honor Lock for the final. There is an online text so you do not need to buy the textbook. She is so sweet and I would totally recommend her to anyone.
Took this class online. Consistent due dates and assignments which was a huge help with my anxiety. Loved the book we used, and there was plenty of additional information in PowerPoint if you wanted to use them. Tests are open book with plenty of time. 10/10
Professor Dove was a fantastic teacher! You have to get through a lot of reading, but even with that, the class is simple by far. She gives good feedback and is prompt in answering emails.
I enjoyed taking Professor Dove's sociology class. I'm a little sad that the class is over. You could tell that she took the time to make her class fun and exciting. Be sure to watch the videos, you can learn so many exciting things by watching them! The tests aren't very difficult as long as you went through the modules.
Really sweet teacher Doesn't post notes doesn't adjust grades for any reason lots of extra credit opportunities
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.
If you read through her colorful slideshows and do the Inquizitive assignments it'll be super easy. Amazing teacher and class!
Mrs. Dove is an AMAZING sociology professor! Not only is she great w/ lectures & class discussions, but the school work and test are very easy and she is a very caring person! She understood and spoke w/ me about the death of my dog in October and comforted me! I'd definitely rate her a 20/10 for the overall experience! I enjoyed coming to class!!!
Classes are SOO entertaining. The best story times. You will UNDERSTAND the content, not just get a good grade. Lots of extra credit (so easy). Not a lot of homework, and the tests are all open book (except the final). A genuinely FUN class and I look forward to it daily. She cares about our success. Would take her a million times again if I could.
Great teacher and makes everything in the class very clear. She also gives multiple extra credit opportunities! I would recommend to take this class.
very easy course with clear stated expectations
Professor Dove made this class easy! I took SOC-101 online, and I appreciate that Prof. Dove included interesting videos that made the assignments enjoyable. I definitely recommend her to anyone who needs to take sociology. I promise you will be glad you did.
By far my favorite professor ever! Her lectures are engaging and she includes extra content to help you better understand the material. Lots of extra credit opportunities. The homework is easy and fun to do! The class is best enjoyed if you participate in the discussion. You can tell she is really passionate about what she teaches.
I loved this class as well as professor dove! She was amazing. She always made class fun and was very easy to understand. PLEASE PLEASE take her!
Professor Dove's SOC101 class is a gem - engaging, informative and super easy. The course is a breeze with open-book tests, extra credit, and a helpful textbook. I used Unstuck AI for study prep and it was a game-changer! Would take this class again in a heartbeat.
I loved SOC-101 with professor Dove! She is an amazing professor who cares about her students and the subject of sociology. Even though the class is online, she offers so many great learning resources. She is also great at responding to emails and answering questions. The class is not difficult and the textbook is an easy read. Highly recommend!
Professor Dove is amazing! I took SOC101 as a dual enrollment student and found that it's my favorite class. I would 100% recommend her. She's really interesting and knows how to engage her students. It's not note heavy and she responds to emails quickly. DO take this class!
Professor Dove was an amazing professor and her assignments were clear and to the point. She does not accept any late work without a medical excuse, military, etc. Her tests are all online on BlackBoard and the final exam is proctored online but you can use notes for it. Lectures were fun, informative, and always made people participate.
Took last Summer, it was a very condensed class, but I ended up learning a lot. She was very nice and grades never took too long to come out.
Professor Dove is amazing! All of her tests and homework are online. This class was very easy and I suggest everyone take a professor Dove class!
1000% recommend Professor Dove. She was amazing. Log on to her class and be ready to work. She sends weekly, sometimes daily reminders about upcoming assignments. Just make sure to submit your work ON TIME and the correct grading criteria. If you pay attention in class you'll do great!! She makes sociology a breeze! Also, exam is open notes!!
Professor April Dove's exceptional teaching abilities were evident throughout the SOC-101 course. Her attentive listening and frequent questioning ensured that students grasped the material. The course material was well-structured and accessible. Professor Dove exuded a high level of education and respect, making her class enjoyable and enriching.
All the tests and the exam were open notes!!
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.
her class was easy, mostly completion assignments and open note tests
Choose this professor for sociology! She is an amazing teacher and her lectures are engaging, truly a gem. I loved this class so much I would take it again. Professor Dove makes sociology so easy and her course is very organized. 10/10
