I found her to be a good teacher, however many people found her course difficult and compared to other SOC classes it was a little harder.

Amazing! Does a great job teaching... and does a great job at getting the ideas across to students. You will love this prof!!

Great Prof. You will do well in her classes.

She's fair and she knows her stuff. Stop whining and do the work.

Was nice enough. A little boring but overall good. If you know the book you will do very well.. you wouldn't even have to go to class really

Great prof. Works hard to motivate the class. Dose a great job. Two peppers to you Dr. mac. ;-)

she's a good proff. i didn't mind her at all. The tests can be hell if your don't read

very good. may not be the "easiest" prof, but who said university is supposed to be easy! her teaching metheod should be the standard for all courses at smu, that way we could eliminate poor course content, and sloppy teaching.

What a wonderful prof. She does make you work, but it pays off cuz you know your stuff by the time the term is over. Real nice smile too ;-)

hard to listen to...notes on the P drive...dont bother reading...tests not that hard at all...study all notes

I had this prof. a few years back, and I have to say I really enjoyed the two classes I took with her. You do have to work hard in her classes, but she is fair, clear and very helpful.

Fun,amusing,fantastic, bright, at ease,and at times is a real academic aphrodisiac. What a prof!!!

Good Prof. and WILL NOT exercise power over you in a cruel and autocratic manner!

Awesome! My fav at SMU so far. Very articulate, clear, and fair. Makes you work for your mark like a professor should. Very intelligent, bringing a lot more to an otherwise dull course. Can't wait to take another course with her, made me like school again

Audrey supervised my thesis a few years back, and I came to know her fairly well. She is very patient, very helpful, and ridiculously intelligent. Audrey is not an unduly harsh marker, but those of you looking for an 'easy' grade should steer clear.

A very interesting person. Very classy, emphasises certain things clearly... she's kind of hot... ok if she was 20 i would nail her. She talks sideways a lot and smiles. Definitely a must see if only once.

people talk about her being a femenist as if that is a bad thing... did you fools not realize taht you took a SOCIOLOGY course??? either way, this woman knows what she is talking about and understands how to disseminate info to people who are new to the material. take a class with her and work hard.

I admitt its been 2 years since I took Critical Thinking with her and I found it kind of boring while I was taking it, but I still remember the so much from the course. She really gets in your head nad makes you look at society from a different point of view, and it sticks there!

Wonderful Prof! Very passionate about her discipline. Respectful of and open to everyone's comments and opinions (even annoying airheads who have no idea what they're talking about). I will go out of my way to take more classes with her!

extremely helpful but very hard to understand, use her office hours for clarification if you have any trouble she'll talk you through it. Not the easiest marker but I'd say fair...probably wouldn't take another class with her though

An extremely intelligent prof. She is open and enthusiastic. She sticks to the text quite well, but deviates a bit with her own opinion. She keeps your attention and encourages questioning (props to her for managing a debate with almost 300 freshmen).I hope to have another class with her!

A hard marker but a very good prof. She is interesting, and a very smart woman!

I am a formal MALE student and I loved being in this prof.s classes. She was great. Those people that can’t get over the feminist theory are whiny. She is intelligent, clear and very articulate.

Very good prof. Encourages you to be involved with class. I enjoyed her class very much.

Good prof. A bit of a hard marker but does a great job with the classes.

Audrey is an aweseome prof, he knows how to teach theory and how to make it relateable to students and to everyday life. I also took a course with her on SOC of Food which was really interesting, she is a great prof. As for those feminist bashers, get over yourselfs, stop attaching profs who are trying to change **** attitudes.

I took her classes every chance I had. She is an amazing professor. Knowledgeable, fair, interesting, well spoken and helpful. Really challenged some of my beliefs and opened my mind up to a new way of thinking. I would recommend her to anyone for any class. She was one of the highlights of my university career.

Best prof I've had at SMU, hands down

Good knowledge of materials but extremely boring lectures and confusing explanations.

I had her for a few classes and though she is a hard marker, she is fair and is one of the reasons I majored in Soc. recommended

I had this prof for intro and classical theory and I think that she is magnificent. You might find the readings difficult, but she always manages to make them clear in class, always!

I had intro to soc with her and loved it. I went to class because of interest not because I had to. She's nice and always willing to explain something. She calmed me down when I thought I bombed a test and told me to just wait and see what happens. Her seminars are really helpful and let you get to know the class. Take her if you can.

great proff! very helpful and nice and very intelligent!

You have to study hard in this class. She is not easy marker on papers so do not ignore her comments regarding paper.

I never went to the lectures, didn't even crack the book open at home, and my pencil stayed sharp because it never met paper. I got a C-, and that was from guessing on the midterms and the final. Awesome x)

She's a nice person and very articulate. Some of her lectures are boring, but others are really interesting. She's a hard marker, but not unfairly so. Overall a solid prof.

Audrey is very respected and inspirational. You will learn more than you ever expected to in a class. She makes you work for the marks, but you benefit from it in the long run. If you don't work hard or hate reading, do not take this class.

Very enthusiastic and passionate which equate to amazing lectures. Her tests are tricky so it important to do the readings she has a wide vocabulary and it is important to note that her students are accountable for understanding any terms she uses or that are present in the text even if they are irrelevant they will likely be included on her tests.

She is really nice and is very passionate about what she teaches. I loved what I learned in the class, and I found myself actually wanting to go and listen. The only draw backs were that she is a tough grader, especially on punctuation and her directions on how she wanted you to write were often unclear! Make sure you go see her on office hours

Dr. Macnevin is fantastic. She articulates herself well, and is extremely engaging in class. I find all of her lectures quite interesting, and I genuinely enjoy the way she teaches. She also has a unique style, and I love the way she carries herself; a very inspirational woman. Yes, she uses "big words" - but a vocab upgrade never hurt anyone!

Such a good prof. She is definitely passionate about what she is teaching. Also very funny and her lectures aren't dry. Her tests are quite hard, when studying I would recommend being able to use the notes and apply them to everyday problems, using examples is a good way to study.

Solid prof, lectures are interesting and she is excellent at connecting the topics back to our own lives. Tests are quite hard, you must read all the text book readings in order to pass... however she recognizes when the class is struggling and provides opportunities for students to make up for lost marks. I highly recommend taking this class!!

Dr. MacNevin is a sweet lady and she connects real life to every aspect of the content she teaches. Her tests align with the textbook material. Theres 3, each worth 25%, so it counts for a lot. They arent easy tests. The seminars are easy points, go to class whenever those happen! Read to understand and you'll do well :)

Great professor, the only thing i really hated was the fact that she really takes a lot of the content from the book and sometimes the class felt more like a book club than it did a lecture, and I did not pay $600 for a book club. Very nice lady and really understanding when you miss things.

She outlines every test and makes sure that everyone in the class knows exactly whats gonna be on the test and how the questions are gonna be styled. Honestly one of the best teachers Ive had yet because most dont care enough to help make sure you understand everything.

Audrey is a great professor who I have had multiple courses with. She is a tough grader but that is because she expects submitted work to be at an academic level. The tests are solely based on the readings and the terminology, so a deep understanding is required there. She is very caring towards her students and a great person overall. I recommend.

Professor MacNevin is a phenomenal professor, and person. I've had multiple in-person and online classes with her and her lectures are always insightful. If you do not do well it's because you are not putting in the time. You do not get to just read the powerpoints and pass. MacNevin is reasonable and cares about her students!

Professor MacNevin is a great lecturer. We were graded on three tests only. You need to know the material and not just memorize facts in order to do well. There is no chance at extra credit. Follow her advice with how to study for the tests and you should do well. This course takes effort.
