Great teaching methods. Will help you until you understand. She actually made sociology statistics fun. A VERY fair grader.

I really liked her alot. But then again I was in a discussion class, in which I thrive. She was very imformative and the material was easy to absorb. Sometimes there'd be a lot of reading though...but I really really enjoyed going to class.

I hate every type of math that exists, and I actually liked this class. She is so enthusiastic and incredibly helpful and makes the material easy to understand. If you have to take a stats course, take this one with her. She's awesome.

As my professor and my advisor, Catherine is an awesome professor willing to always help her students. Her classes may be difficult. But you get more out of them and she will go above and beyond if you have questions.

this professor wants you to understand and will try her best to do that. not a lot of math at all. she is extremely passionate about stats and is amusing. she is also very accomodating and the HWs are sometimes time consuming but incredibly easy. exams are a bit tough but you get an 8 1/2 x 11 note sheet. definately take stats with her.

Excellent teacher. Attendance is not mandatory but with a subject like statistics it's highly recommended. Only downside is that if you're a male you may be distracted by her innate, intelligence-supported sexiness.

Wonderful teacher. Loved her! Very helpful and clear when explaining what needs to be accomplished. All assignments you can redo except the final paper (which you turn in a rough draft first) and the presentation. Hard class, but I am glad I took it with professor Moran! Really helpful with questions about SOC outside of class as well.

Dr. Moran is a fantastic professor. She keeps stats interesting and really goes out of her way to help outside of class. She also has a TA who grades a lot of the work and holds study sessions. Best professor ever!

Most of all, I loved her sense of humor... she is hilariously witty. She's also extremely nice and helpful and very committed to her students' success. Take Stats with her!

She is an awesome professor! She makes statistics worth while by making humorous, real-life references to help you understand almost every concept! Take this class with her!

She is such a great teacher. she keeps class interesting. classes arent mandatory but she does have clicker quizzes to keep you coming, and they are based on the reading, so as long as you do that, your fine. she had us do a rich media project and we were all like whatt. but it ended up being really fun and i go a lot from it. shes great.

Love her! She's difficult but a great Professor!! Definitely go to her office hours and love sociology:)

Read the material ahead of time because there are daily CPS clicker quizzes! This saved my ass. CPS clicker quizzes also function as attendance/participation. GO TO THE REVIEW SESSIONS! Do the homeworks in advance too!

AMAZING PROFEESOR! Loves what she teaches and is very helpful. Willing to work with you and makes you feel like an individual and not a number. Really down to earth. She knows what shes doing but is a harder teacher. Well worth it though!

Catherine is fun and knowledgeable about both sociology and statistics. She has really cool stories about her past jobs and she cares about each of her students. Go to her office hours and get to know her!

Ive had Catherine for 401, 502 and 599. Shes a tough grader but will give you tons and tons of help if you go to office hours or get to know her. Great teacher! Her smaller classes are awesome and shes really funny, makes 8ams extremely bearable. So far my favorite professor at UNH! Go to class, it's really helpful & will mean you dont need to read

Moran keeps things interesting but the tests cover things we don't discuss in class or in the reading. The questions are phrased oddly.

Prof. Moran is a genius of a teacher. Her views on sociology as a whole are really invigorating and very enlightening. BUT, with this being said, it can be a challenge to do well in her class. The questions on the exams are worded very badly and can be interpreted very subjectively, making getting a good grade in her class next to impossible.

Prof. Moran does her best to make the class interesting and she is a very nice teacher but she likes her average overall grades to be in the mid 70's range which can be very frustrating.

Tough grader, she makes you work for your grade but she is very clear, very smart, very engaging and an excellent professor overall.

She knows her stuff. Note that she is a very particular and tough grader, has a very strong personality, and very pointed views. I liked her classes, but they were very hard. If you expect a good grade you will need to earn every point. You will need to go to every class, take copious and thorough notes, and go to her office hours on occasion.

Professor Moran is my favorite professor thus far. Super funny, helpful, and knowledgeable. If you take the time to learn the material, you will do well in class. Nothing but praises for this professor.

I don't know how I went so long without taking a class with Prof Moran! She is fantastic! Every class is interesting and engaging. I love how she brings in pieces of clothing to explain different concepts to us. I highly recommend her as a professor!

She is a fantastic lecturer who presents the material in a very clear manner. Her exams are open note, open book, and on BlackBoard. You definitely need to know your stuff for the exams, though. There is also a semester-long group project.

Engaging, funny, smart, prof Moran brightened my day! Extensive note taking in class, online exams, semester long group project (not bad at all), and clicker quizzes. Attendance not mandatory, but should go to get clicker quiz grades. Extremely helpful to go to her office hours. Very strong personality. Definitely hope I have her as a prof again.

I absolutely LOVE this professor. She is not only super witty, but she is willing to answer any questions you have, stay after class and chat, and open her doors for lots of office hours. Her lectures were very clear, and I enjoyed learning about soc stats. Her class is not difficult if you pay attention and do all the work (which is not much).

She isn't a bad teacher, but i would NOT take her class if i was just looking for an easy discovery. She treats the class like organic chemistry which can seem a bit ridiculous at times, in the sense she expects a lot from you. Her class should be upgraded to a 600. She is also a "hardo" for the rules.

GO TO CLASS! She gives pop-quizzes, none of which are too hard. All exams are online. No final, only a final project that is fun to do! She is very funny and engaging. A wonderful professor.

Professor Moran is a great Sociology professor. She really knows her stuff and is very passionate about Sociology. I would recommend taking her Intro to Soc class to fulfill a discovery. She inspired me to consider a minor in Sociology. She is quirky and outgoing and just wants to see you do well in her class and love Sociology.

Catherine was such a quirky, unique, funny lady. I definitely looked forward to her each week. The content is a little dry, but you have several group papers to boost your grade. Make sure you're in class, as there are weekly iClicker participation quizzes. Easy questions on the iClicker quizzes, you can consult your group for potential answers.

This is a great class and a great professor. The tests can be difficult even though they are online and open-book. I didn't study too much or do a lot of the assigned readings and I got by, but I wouldn't recommend it. She is very quirky and smart. Although, sometimes I wasn't sure about the credibility of her sources. Group projects aren't so bad.

She makes stats fun and easy. Her lectures are enjoyable and high energy. There is almost no homework for this class and exams aren't too difficult. You do need to show up for class, but it is stats you kinda should

Textbook and notes are used for every exam and pop quiz so make sure you actually buy your book and bring it to class, and take very good notes, they will make or break you. Most papers are group papers so learn how to work well with a group and do not submit it without revising (she can tell and she will take off points). Really interesting class!

took her SOC 502(statistics) online(Sum 2018) never saw her in person. Not for math lovers like me. not even algebra. plug and chug formulaa. minimal Stata (statistical software) explanation. On HW's the more verbose is better, spell out everything (mean,p,Z,t in ()) Copy and paste stat explanations, put in your own nouns and numbers

I absolutely love her as an advisor but as a prof shes tough. I definitely had to work hard to do well, didn't skip class, paid attention. Wish I studied and reviewed more before tests. HW takes a ton of time, but there's only a few of them. I wish we had HW that related to the exam questions. I did horrible on exams, but amazing on HWs.

She is literally the best professor I've ever had.

Fantastic, enthusiastic teacher. When the whole class did bad on an exam, she gave us makeup work. When that still didn't satisfy her, she scaled everyone's grade up. Said she cared less about grades and more about us understanding the material. Always open to help/ask questions over email/go over exams with you. Enjoyed class a lot.

Prof Moran is really passionate and a hard worker. She is always present and prepared. Really caring and makes each day enjoyable. Very helpful with questions. I do wish there was smaller, more frequent homework grades.

Professor Moran was an amazing teacher. I was also able to designate this class as honors and she was nothing but helpful during the entire process- especially through COVID and being online. She was always willing to help, zoom, anything for her students. She put our understanding above all else. Would love to take her again.

Professor Moran made statistics interesting by using research data regarding pertinent recent events. So we weren't just learning the equations for statistics. If you are a social sciences geek and you need a QR credit I highly recommend this class!

I love Professor Moran. I had her last semester and I was motivated to go to every class. Her lectures weren’t boring and she’s very interesting to listen to. You have a chapter or 2 to read each week and sporadical research participation assignments. If you need to fulfill your social science credit this is a great choice

I loved SOC400! It was my favorite class this semester and I 100% recommend it to people interested. It is lecture heavy so I wouldn't recommend skipping, but I was never bored in lectures. We had really engaging discussions and the exams were open book. Moran is a great prof and I'd love to take another one of her classes.

Catherine is very quirky and engaging. Her lectures can be long but they are very interesting. This is a great class to satisfy the social science discovery requirement and if you show up and at least skim the textbook you will do fine

She is very passionate about what she teaches. Took this for a discovery credit and it was one of m favorites. She can be a a bit hard on grading and her classes are very lecture heavy but the lectures are quite interesting. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to get their social science discovery over with

I really love taking a class with Professor Moran, her lectures are always entertaining and you learn a lot from just one class. I'd say this course is more lecture heavy than anything, minimal assignments weekly, quite a bit of reading, but manageable. Her tests are more about applying concepts, but if you attend class you'll do fine!

I loved this class!!! There is some out of class work, not much. Quizzes and small writing assignments, and she has random in class assignments. She is very understanding and wants you to do well. If you need anything, she will more times than not help you. Very kind human and she has good intentions.

Dr. Moran was a great professor. Lectures were always super easy to understand. Attendance not mandatory but assignments difficult without it. She assigned a TON of homework especially close to finals that I think was a little unfair. Tests open note. I would recommend if your other courses are lighter in work!

Catherine knows how to make a student want to learn. She is so enthusiastic in her lectures and you can see how passionate she is about the topic and it makes class so much more enjoyable. She has three online exams that are all multiple choice, weekly online quizzes that you get two attempts on, and in-class activities roughly once a week.

She was very enthusiastic. Very nice as well. She had a lot of energy and tried to keep students engaged. Attendance is not mandatory, but recommended. Would take her again.

Professor Moran is passionate about what she does. As someone who really struggles with math, the stats course was challenging would've been worse with anyone else. She makes it clear that she is more than willing to help outside of class if needed and she has it set up to where even if you tank an important assignment your grade won't plummet.
