OMG dont take her, you can never miss a class cause you will be behind, you have a ton of hw and there is something due every day! im so upset i took her class! im warning you!

This women is a horrible person. She is unclear and unfair and contradictory. I am only going to stay in her class to prove to myself and to her that even though she is horribly harsh, she can't cause failure and bring people down with her attitude, disrespect and unreasonable expectations.

She was one of the most disrespectful teachers i have every had!! Made no effort to answer any of my e-mails and refused to talk to me after class, also you have no idea what she is saying or writing due to the lazyness of her voice/ handwriting. She was very unclear to as what she wanted for assign. I often felt like she graded onhermoodfortheday

HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!! DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER! she is rude, dissrespectfull, would not help me becuase she thought i wasnt worthy of it. i am a strait A student and i failed her class! do not take her

this teacher is horrible! do not take her class, she is one of the worst teachers you will ever have in your entire life!

horrible horrible teacher. she is one of the worst teachers i have ever had in my schooling. i walked into this class, very interested, and was very dissapointed, i usually get really good grades but she failed me!

She is not very helpful at all.

She can be entertaining at times but often gets off subject and talks about things completely unrelated to the class. The quizzes and tests are impossible without reading and if you try to get by on her lectures you're out of luck because if you can understand her the information she gives you is slim to none. Large group project that sucks!

The tests are awful, she never replies back to you, her syllabus lacks critical information, and whatever you do to change assignments is never good enough. I have no doubt she knows her stuff, but she doesn't know how to bring herself down to the level of brand new college students. My entry level class was way over my head.

She is the worst teacher I have ever had by far. This is suppose to be and INTRO class. I am a straight A student and find her very challenging. I have absolutely no interest to pursue sociology now. She is such a tough grader and I spent HOURS upon hours doing each assignment and then she just knocks off many points. And her accent is difficult

Seriously, how is this an intro class? Ruining A students GPAs with over the top grading coupled with non-descript paper criteria. Complete nonsense.

Hard to understand lecture because of her accent and handwriting. Group projects/book reports are hard because of the questions relevance to the topics covered in lecture/book. When you try to get help she won't and when she does it's always useless info. Tests are multiple choice but 70 questions that are based on book/lecture so you're screwed.

Please save yourself from this train wreck of a class. This is supposed to be an intro class and the expectations she has for it are as if it's a 300 or 400 level class at a university. She's not helpful whatsoever in fact one time she gave us the WRONG answer. If this is the only section left for the semester wait to sign up with someone else!!

She has a problem with everyone. Lots of homework, not care about students. Not nice, Not helpful. She likes to receive a complaint from students, this way she could show her power to the sociology department means nobody can change me or do anything against me I do whatever I want to do.

She should have her teaching licence revoked. DO NOT TAKE.

Took her for an online class. Teachers are supposed to be easily contacted over email. She wont even respond,

HORRIBLE TEACHER. STAY AWAY. SHOULD NOT WORK AS A TEACHER BECAUSE SHE WONT CARE ABOUT YOU AND YOUR EDUCATION. TRYING TO ATTEMPT TO TALK TO HER IS A JOKE, SHE WONT CARE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY AT ALL. WARNING WARNING WARNING DO NOT TAKE!!!!

ALERT..!!! DONT TAKE HER..!! SHE IS THE WORST PROF I HAVE EVER TAKEN SO FAR. VERY TOUGH GRADER.

If you are taking it online, expect that there would be reading. NOT ONLY THE CHAPTERS ASSIGNED BUT ALSO A LOT OF RESEARCH PAPERS!! She would give you 2-3 Research papers and each is 20 pages long! So if you have family or you are so busy, don't even try and register for this class because it would take over your life.

Lets just say she started with almost 30 students and ended up with 7 kids in the class. Lecture heavy,THICK Accent, isn't helpful. she is not a good teacher at all. DON'T take her. she made intro to sociology way to difficult and got off topic too much about other topics as of history and talked about politics for almost 2 months.

After reading the online reviews and seeing the syllabus, I quickly changed to a different online course with a different instructor. One-fifth of the workload if not even less in comparison with a different instructor but same 8-week online. What a relief. I would agree with reviews from what I was from syllabus of a 100 course intro class.

You can spend hours working on one assignment and if you do one thing she doesn't like, you'll just get a fat 0. And there are tons of assignments. Not very friendly or helpful, she's the kind of professor that just tells you to look at the syllabus when you have a question. Would not recommend at all

Not good at all. All of her tests are mixed up in different order so you can't figure out what she's talking about when she says "the previous question." She is absolutely terrible at responding to emails and when she does, she is not helpful. Very mean, very unfair grader, will not compromise with any student at all. STAY AWAY FROM HER CLASSES!

would not recommend taking this class. So much work to do for an online class its ridiculous. Does not respond to emails and is a very tough grader. got a B even though i did all assignments

Horrible teacher does not know how to be a good teacher. Very rude and does not help hen you ask for it.

beware!!!RUNNNNN DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS

I have literally never written a review on a professor however, Monnier is horrendous. I will never recommend her class to anyone, she is rude! Doesn't respond to emails and has a very bad attitude that comes across even in her teaching. College of Du page needs to fire her, I was so excited to take a sociology class and now I regret choosing hers

Absolutely obsessed with mind maps. Asks for a 1 sentence answer then says that there isn't enough detail. Gives exact detail in how assignments should be done to the point that there is no individuality to your assignment. Doesn't respond to emails and then sends out class emails during that time. Overall wants you to read her mind.

I can tell she knows about the field, but this is just one of those instances where experience in the field doesn't translate into teaching proficiency. All the lectures feel so sterile, and R (the coding language for the assignments) is obtuse and hard to work with, even for some with experience in coding. Just learn Python and avoid this class.

She does not respond to emails and is a very tough grader. Although this was a very interesting course, if I had more background about the professor I would have opted for a different one.

I signed up a week or so later due to problems in my schedule. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend not taking this course with this teacher. Gave me 0 on my quizzes and homework because I signed up late and wouldn't let me make up. Prepare to read a ton and strict grading.

If you're a writer, Professor Monnier is not for you. Her big thing is "mind maps," which is a type of assignment with arbitrary rules and no matter how many you do, you'll never quites ace it. Her grading scale is a bit odd, as an 85% or higher is an "A," but don't be surprised if you're borderline most of the semester.

horrible professor don't take her unless you want to waste your money

This professor is absolutely horrible, accuses students of cheating/plagarism with no evidence. the topic is interesting but "mind maps" definitely wont teach you about any of it. also every assignment you dp is absolutely nitpicked, you will never be good enough to actually recieve full credit for them. Tests wording is very confusing.

Would not take this class again. I ended with a B, which was lucky. She grades extremely harsh and you only do mindmaps the whole time. She also accused me of using AI when I didn't and anytime I tried to contact her, she would never respond because she thought I was cheating.

She's a really tough grader. Instructions aren't clear..I've taken plenty of online courses this was by far one of the worst. Would not take with her again.

She has an attitude. She doesn't like you asking questions she always says have you looked at the syllabus. She is a tough grader; nothing satisfies her. Avoid I dropped her class soc

I should have listened to the reviews. She loves to do the mind mapping and takes away every point possible. There was so much reading to do, and videos to watch. I feel like she gave a ridiculous amount of homework. Trust me, do not take this class you will regret it.

Does not accept any excuses. Very tough grader and does appreciate your efforts and improvement. Instructions are always very unclear and she takes a very long time to respond to your questions, or doesn't respond at all.

She graded me 0/25 on a mind map because it was nearly impossible to fully understand her instructions. She also critiqued me on my misspelling yet had multiple of her own throughout the entirety of the course. She has you watch lengthy movies and films that are outdated and accuses you of using AI.

DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS! This professor is a very very hard grader, and will show no empathy whatsoever. Doesn't reply to her emails, assigns a ton of homework and takes forever to grade them. She also loves to accuse people for AI as you can see reading the forum, if you're double thinking taking her class this is your sign to change classes ASAP
