After seeing Dr. Gartland for a semester, I wonder if she'd be better off hitting the streets and attacking social problems than explaining/discussing them in the classroom. She is very knowledgeable about these problems and feisty enough to battle them.

Offensively lackadaisical! 1.5 weeks into the class, not 5 min on Sociology yet. Prof. missed class 1, (forgot it started that day), took roll for 1 hour class 2, took roll and rambled 15 min. class 3. Serious about your education? AVOID!!!

Where's the Professor? Shows up late, if at all; wasted weeks of class; takes roll for an hour; amuses the kids more than teaches; not a PhD but allows kids to call her “doctor”. I dropped this disgrace 'cause I can't afford to waste time and tuition!

Very friendly and befriends her students to make class a family atmosphere. Concentrates on life, not a textbook. Tends to take class a slower than most students but allows you to really understand the topics. Took her four times and would do it another four. She's not for bookworms or honors students; she's for the rest of us.

Nice teacher and a pretty easy class. Study guides have almost all the answers there for you and lectures are interesting for the most part. Does go on tangents once in awhile but they are usually funny stories.

VERY EASY! only problem is she goes on tangents on things you don't think you'll be tested on, and then she tests you on them. pay attention to specific examples, they comprise about half the test. and know the review sheets inside and out, and you'll be sure to ace the test, no problem.

About 200 people in this class, very hard to hear her. Boring and dry, had some funny stories but couldn't stand being there over an hour. Skipped most classes, didn't study and still wound up with a B. Don't recommend taking her.

Stupid class. Learned nothing. Way to political for an freshman soc class. Never went and got an A. Not a very nice person outside the class room, name drops people in police forces, and doesnt realize the daughter was in the class and knew what she was saying was not true. Dont bother taking her class.

Biggest waste of time & money on earth - Is the sociology dept. serious with this lady??? Class is a complete waste of time. Class attendance was at about 20% - Talks about NOTHING related to the subject all day and is waaay off the syllabus. If you want to learn don't waste your time with her!!!

Okay, Professor Gartland is a sweet lady but has to be the worst professor at YSU. She rambles about absolutely nothing for an hour and 15 minutes. Often times I found myself in disbelief. A lot of students will just get up and walk out of her class because it is a complete waste of time. Extremely easy A. The questions on the exam are a joke.

Professor Gartland can get side-tracked easily, but when she does, those are the extra credit questions that she puts on the exams. She is a very sweet lady, and the tests are common sense. There is no homework for this course.

Prof Gartland is a sweet lady & a very kind professor. I took her fall of 2016. She lectures the entire time every class. She also gets off topic sometimes but pay attention these are her extra credit questions!! Attendance is not mandatory. She also provides you with study guides for each exam that are basically the exam lol.

This class is a complete waste of my time. i actually counted one day and in the hour and fifeteen minutes we were in class we got through a half of page of notes and the rest of the time is spent on whatever pops into her mind at the moment. great glass for an elective becasue she gives you the notes for her quizzes so you'd have to try to fail.

She doesnt actually teach. She just talks about her personal life. Regularly late for class. Very unclear with grading.

Gartland is horribly unorganized and unprofessional. She goes on and on about her personal life. I'm not paying tuition to listen to her actively try to avoid teaching us the material. A number of us are considering complaining to the department chair.

shes the nicest professor on campus. she goes out of her way to make sure everyone understands everything clearly and does everything she can to make sure everyone gets an A. she is undeserving of any bad ratings.

Prof. Gartland is super easy going and easy to work with as long as you go to class. She lectures the whole time and there was basically no homework. EASY A

When she lectures you'll have zero clue what she's talking about. She will go rant about anything she feels like and its not related to Sociology at all. As long as you show up for attendance points and print out material she emails out for exams you'll be fine. It's an easy A but I don't understand how she's a professor at YSU.

Prof. Gartland is a very sweet lady & she cares about her students. One important thing to note is that you will want to attend the live meetings because she throws bits of important exam info out in the meetings. Her off topic tangents are useful- sometimes exam questions are based on them. Overall very easy. Shes a little unorganized, thats all.

Honestly a really nice lady, the subject matter was just boring to me most of the time. Did have some interesting conversations as a class though, mostly current events.

Professor Gartland was amazing. Many students did not enjoy her teaching style and I am certain that is because they were not putting in the work and paying attention. Her lectures are an 10/10 and she will always keep you interested in the topic. I believe I found her class to be very easy because of how well she can teach. Strongly recommend!
