its a very cool class she goes over everything very well if you are going to take soc105 then i recommend her but for some is maybe a little to wordy and she is not that well organized but no ones perfect GREAT TEACHER/CLASS!!!!!

very easy. Never have to take notes, and barely any homework. tests are EXACTLY off handouts.

Very good teacher. She is very clear on what is expected. Pay attention in class and study her handouts, and you will be fine. She knows her subject very well and is always available for you.

Really nice person, would do anything to help you, but if you have her for honors she grades extrememly hard.

good teacher-but hard grader-must pay attention while in class and keep ahold of her power point notes, she gives her tests based on them

Go to class and listen to do well. She will help students with questions. Her tests were essays which sucked but she makes sure you understand the matter.

Christine is an above average professor. Though sociology might not be everyone's favorite subject, she explains ideas well and challenges the minds of her students.

Good instuctor.

sometimes you are not to clear of what is expected but she is a sweetheart.

this class was pretty hard. but if you pay attention to the hand outs, it was doable

Very nice woman, will do anything to help

Very smart, fair grader, and helpful and understanding. As long as you do the required work you can get a good grade.

We had to do so much crap for this course, find an agency with a social problem and volunteer for a minimum of 10 hours! Then she's kind of boring, her lectures are just all powerpoint slides, but she's a nice person, and hotness!

good teacher, knows her craft well and tests exactly off of the handouts.

Questions assigned weekly are used for tests. Do the work and you will do well. Very approachable and helpful professor. I enjoyed her class very much.

Had her for an internet class. She assigns lots of work. She graded my paper harshly that i got an A on in a different class last year. The timed essay tests are a pain, but if you study for a while, you'll be fine. She responds to email mad quick, but she takes forever to grade (it took one month for a project and over 2 weeks for a test.

Not the easiest professor in the world... tough but good teacher

I love Prof. Bowditch. She is tough; however, she really seems to want people to think critically about what they believe and why the believe it. If you are prepared to question everything you thought you knew about society, then take this class...but if you are prone to sticking your head in the sand, I recommend taking another class.

Had an online class with her, and it was difficult. Alot of material was covered, although she is quick to get back to questions and she is helpful. Overall good professor just read material and participate in discussions. Show intesest and you will be fine.

She is a good teacher but she is not an easy grader. There are tons of discussions, tons of reading, essay exams, and some of the assignments are not stated to clearly. If you are looking for a challenge this is the class to take.

She is one smart lady and really knows her stuff. She WANTS to hear your opions. If you do your work and study to learn things, everything will be fine. She is ALWAYS willing to help you with a paper and if you need she will gladly give an extension. Her tests are all muptile choice. Some lectues are hard to get through but we do alot of groups

Straight forward lecture and puts powerpoints online before classes to follow along. Openminded and helpful. I learned alot from her class. She does what a professor should, teach and not nuts around in class wasting useful time.

I was worried going into this class given the ratings here, but I have no complaints. Put some effort into the work and you'll end up doing just fine with this professor.

Dr. Bowditch is an excellent professor. I find her to be very personable and very helpful in everything. The work is rigorous and demanding but keep in mind, this is COLLEGE not high school. It shouldn't be EASY. Regarding Dr. Bowditch and her grading, she is tough but if you show the effort and think for yourself you shouldn't have a problem.

She is a very tough grader and her exams are hard. She is willing to work with you if you have any issues.

Excellent professor, always available for help

Very nice teacher! Extremely helpful. If you simply reach out to her and ask for help, you will get it. She ALWAYS gives deadlines. She gave me the whole summer to complete spring semester work!! incredible. She gives one-on-one help a lot. She also bought our whole class pizza after the midterm :DD

Very approachable and right down to business! I found her class refreshing and appropriately challenging. Grades on time and holds her self to the same standard of accountability she expects!

The class itself was a little tough but Bowditch was clear and helpful.

She is a very clear and helpful teacher. If you just come to her with any concerns or just anything interesting you want to talk about, she is happy to do so. I think the only negative is that her tests are pretty hard. They're all essays but if you know the subject well enough you should do fine!

She is clear and helpful. If you have concerns or just want to talk about something interesting she is open to do so. The material is also interesting if you pay attention. The tests are pretty hard. They are all essays, which makes them more difficult since you have to go in depth. But if you know the material you should be fine.

Dr. Bowditch is a very nice women. She is very understanding. If you need more time to finish a paper she will give it to you. With that being said, this women will bore you to death twice a weak for what will seem like the longest semester of your life.

Very thorough in her presentations! Very knowledgable! Highly recommended!

Very boring lectures for the whole semester. A few unrelated and very outdated movies. Tests are hard and grading is hard.

She gives extentions whenever they're needed. She's a total sweetheart! Not only that, but she held two final exam study sessions, and if we get an A on her final she'll add 10 points to our lowest exam grades! Amazing!!

She might not have been a professor that made me want to change my major or anything, but I got an A and I was still a high school student. The class wasn't very hard at all, just keep up and follow guidelines.

Professor Bowditch is a great professor. She is a very knowledgeable person (Graduated from University of Penn - 7th top school in the country), it is up to you to utilize her. She is very flexible with deadlines. If you need extra time, do not hesitate to ask. She is sometimes unclear with her expectations, but she is a fair grader.

She is really sweet and understanding. You can get extensions on your papers if you need it. She will lecture the whole class normally. Not really any homework, only just writing papers.

Very kind and understanding professor. Tough class and tough grader, but if you go to her for extra help you will be fine. She wants you to work hard and understand what we are learning. Never has bad intentions. Make sure you pay attention and tell her if you can't make it to class. Overall, she was really great.

Expects a lot from her students, but gets you ready for future classes. Really understanding and works with you. If you have an issue with anything, talk to her. Tough grader, but go to her for extra help and you will pass with a decent grade.

I enjoyed her class. we had a lot of interesting discussion which she is open to which is wonderful considering we agreed on almost nothing morally. She is a tough grader but if you try you can do it!

She's a nice professor. She gave us reviewer for exams but her quizzes are tricky. Her lectures are very interesting. You need to apply them in real life to understand it.

She's my favorite teacher. She is passionate and VERY knowledgable about what she's talking about- in a good way, not a way that makes you feel stupid. Many people in my class did not care enough so they may not have gotten a good grade. As long as you do the readings, turn in your work, be respectful- you will EARN a good grade and LEARN a lot.

Professor Bowditch was an amazing professor. She actually CARES about her students. She understands student life. Her readings are extremely interesting, although it is a decent amount of reading. Only 2 tests and a final paper. I took the honors class and still ended with an A. Best teacher I've had so far.

Professor Bowditch was one of my favorites. Although there is quite a bit of reading, the articles are interesting. She discusses everything thoroughly in lecture to make sure you understand. I did not find the grading tough at all she gives you a clear rubric and more than enough material to succeed. Her passion about the subject is inspiring.

She is very respected among the sociology department, and yes, the lectures can be long, but she is very passionate about what she teaches.

There is at least 2 reading assignments a week. Lectures are long, but interesting. Her knowledge is inspirational! As long as you read the assignments and pay attention during the lecture, you should pass. Her grading is very clear, the rubric states specifically what she is expecting. Overall, I would take her again.

Forever my favorite professor. She's clear about due dates and what she expects. If she ever trips up on something (which is rare) she will rectify the situation. She is VERY fair and extremely smart. If you have trouble, just talk to her. She believes in you and truly wants you to succeed. Plus, you learn a lot from her classes; just pay attention

I have never met a professor as kind or intelligent as Bowditch. She has made my first year at LCCC amazing. The lectures we have in class are so mind blowing and eye opening that I leave her classroom everyday knowing beyond more than I would have ever hoped to. She is amazing and I truly believe I've been made a better student/person b/c of her.

After reading some of the negative comments before taking this class, I considered finding a different professor. Glad I didnt. Turn assignments in on time, participate in discussions, and you will do fine. If you someone who has issues with your dog eating your tablet and you are looking for extensions frequently, try another professor

I loved Professor Bowditch. She is one of the most intelligent and engaging professors I have had. Be ready to participate in class discussions and to read a lot of materials. Her lectures have opened my eyes and changed the way I see the world. I can say that definitely left her class a different person than I started.

Lots of people are complaining she was too left-leaning, that's because all the sociological data backed up the left and progressive ideologies. If you don't like it you just don't like being proved wrong! Quizzes were hard, but you just have to read everything and get the gist of each concept.

There's a TON of reading material, not a ton of assignments. Discussions were fun and super open-ended, but the quizzes were a tad difficult. Mainly because you had to know a bunch of random details from the readings - which makes it impossible to skim. If you are easily bored from reading, don't take her.
