Elliot was a good teacher. She wanted her students to understand the material and she was extremely knowledgeable on the subject. Reaction papers were somewhat difficult but she drops half of them so the chances of getting an overall good grade are greater. 3 tests in the class that were semi-difficult, but if you read the books you did well.

Dae really made us think about both sides of issues. She was tough on the papers but they weren't bad once you figured out what she wanted. She made the class interesting. Learned a lot from her and recommend taking her if you want to learn. Not a good class if you don't do the work. She expects you to do it.

Dae gives great opportunity to boost your grade through extra credit. If you want to get a good grade, get involved. If not, just do the required quizes/tests and your grade will be based on your earned points. The work load is extremely easy to manage, even with extra credit work. I would recommend this instructor to anyone who needs Soc 101.

She is a great teacher. The only thing that makes the clas difficult is that its fast paced. However, she really gives opportunities for you to get a better grade or to get help from her. Her email is always open and she is willing to make time for you to meet her for help. Shes awesome. But the class is boring

I think this class is REALLY interesting. I thought this class was going to be boring, but she really perked my interest. She is a good teacher who knows what she is talking about. She is always willing to help and give extra time. She is always available by e-mail. I really like this class. The only thing I don't like is the class time.

While the class is not conceptually easy, she does give many opportunities to do well in the class. Also she is always willing to give extra help and she is very available.

This class can be challenging if your not a math person, it is fast paced. but she give you many opprotunities for extra points and is always willing to help.

Soc Statistics is a fast paced class with tests every other week. DAE lectures and reviews for tests but most of the actual understanding will come from doing the hmwk (not graded). The math is not difficult but formuals are long and complex. She is always willing to answer questions and meet in Office Hrs. The difficult part is the conceptuals!

Really down to earth teacher who isn't afraid to answer anything.. make sure you speak up in class. Lots of reading though. Quizzes weekly.Interesting class, even at 7 at night. She also gives lots of opportunity for extra credit!

Elliot's lectures are always entertaining and intriguing. She has a great sense of humor and makes her students laugh. Although she gives weekly quizzes, before taking them Elliot reveis the material thoroughly. She is very open to answering any questions her students might have and loves class participation!

She is a very good teacher and teaches very well. The only thing that i do not like is her she uses to many big words and the formulas do not make sense.

this is the hardest 101 class i've even taken!! there is so much work! But, she is very knowledgable to teach the class and she is very cool. The class is very interesting but the quizes and exams are not fun.

The subject is hard, but she makes it soo much understandable. The extra credit that she gives before and after each test helps a bunch, and clarifies any questions from the test.

This class is confusing at times, but she does a good job of trying to make it understandable.

this class is very hard, but i couldn't have picked a better prof. to teach this class. she's very helpful and walks you thoroughly in each chapter. plus, she gives extra credit quizzes to help you- take it coz it helps! she's also quick to respond to email questions, especially the night before the test. if you can, take her!!!

The reading is more important than it seems

I like this class. I think it's very hard for a 101 but the topics are very interesting. good teacher

the class really isnt that hard. as long as u have a basic math understanding, you should pass no problem. she gives you PLENTY of opportunities to earn a high grade. tons of extra credit (as long as u actually do it!)

i woudnt say shes hard but she not easy either...you really have to study and read the books to pass the quizzes which is not that bad except when she ask you about o'biren then theats hard...but if you read you would basically understand it cause she lectures exaclty about whats in the book..

This is hard for a 101 class. The general text is ok, but the O'Brien text is long. Can't fall behind because you are quized each week. On a positive note, even though I was in Elliott's once a week night class, she still came across interesting and knowledgeable!

Very helpful professor, wants you to pass, gives plenty of extra credit opportunities. The tests are kind of hard, but if you do the hw and ask questions, you will do fine. If you need any help, Dae will definately help you and answer your questions, if you have to take stats I recommend taking it with her. Oh, she also drops your lowest test.

if you take her make sure you do the extra credit of blackboard

makes stats really easy. do the homework/read before class. DO THE EXTRA CREDIT. pretty cool lady that will make hilarious off the wall jokes. definetly makes stats not sooooooo bland.

5 exams in the class, you dont need to take the final if you do well on them. Just go to class and you will do fine. Lots of extra credit on the exams.

I would not advise taking this class if you don't like reading your text books, there are quizes every week, participation is extra credit, quizes are half of your grade (with the lowest three quiz grades getting dropped)and the two tests are the other half of the grade. I would not suggest this class if you are looking for an easy A.

She is a good teacher, but her quizes are way too tricky, you can read and read, but still flunk the quizes, very frustrating, wish something would change about that.

could be a little less technical. But very good @ her job. Great person (inside and out of classroom)

Good teacher overall...quizzes are a bit hard and lectures are sometimes pointless...u just have to keep up on readings...

interesting class, fun discussion, but too much reading!

Good teacher. Gives you many opportunities for extra credit. Very helpful. Have tests every 2 weeks or so but it's good because the tests aren't so compacted with so much imformation. There's less to remember for the tests. Overall good teacher.

Tests are given often, but the limited amount of information on each test gives you th eopportunity to do well.

keeps you intertained and gets the point across during lectures. Lets you know whats going on very understanding,

a very interesting class but very hard though, so make sure you study for the exams and quizes!!

Pay attention and dont fall asleep during night classes. lectures are helpful she pretty much goes over the entire quiz for that day and if you pay attention theres no way you cant at least get a 10. READ the books! Social Prisms is hard to understand so ask questions. participate! it really helps.

she is great!

She is a very good teacher, but teaches not so fun material. As long as you read and pay attention during the lectures you should do great.

Dae is a really amazing teacher- she has a way of making the class interesting and fun. I love our discussions and we watch a lot of informative, yet weird videos.. If you want a clear and interesting understanding and perspective into Sociology, take Dae.

At the beginning of the semester I found the class to be a bit hard. However, Professor Elliott is very patient, allows her students to participate in E.C. activities, is willing to really sit down and help her students, emails us on a daily basis making her a very personable and easily approachable teacher, and best of all is very HUMOROUS.

Gives great examples.

Five Exams. Go to class and do the extra credit and you should do fine.

Lectures thoroughly go over the material in the textbook. Aside from the regular textbook, she expects you to gather your own conclusions to O'Brien, which is the harder of the two books. But, keep up with the reading and go to class and you're money. Extra credit is plentiful, and best of all, FUNNY! - Randi Tallman

Very Funny & chill teacher. The class itself is a bit difficult but if u attend class & DO THE EXTRA CREDIT u will 4 sure do fine!!! Elliot definitely keeps class interesting...I cannot stress this enough: MAKE SURE U ATTEND CLASS & DO THE EXTRA CREDIT! ~Callie S.

Great teacher, one of the best I have had at state. She is very helpful and understands Stats is hard for many people. Offers extra credit, and genuinely wants her students to do good in the class and understand the material, if you actually try, go to class and ask question it can be an easy class.

Well... the actual concept of statistics is pretty difficult but she is able to describe it in an interesting and sometimes fun way. She keeps you on your toes. In a way, i guess you could say "she makes statistics fun"... **J.N.L**

She makes the classes interesting...I actually look forward to going to class.

This professor is the reason why I actually enjoy sociology. She is very funny. While going over discussions in class, she uses very modern and relative examples.

do i enroll in 501 or 101? i don't like the quizes and exams though, even if i read before going to class i still did bad on my quizes :( but i love the lecture :) very very interesting and plenty of extra credit :)

smart and funny teacher. kind of hard but do the reading and youll be fine. lots of extra credit. take dae, she knows how to teach!

She responds to emails almost immediately. THE FIRST TEST IS THE HARDEST. After that they get easier. As long as you NEVER miss class, pay attention, and do the womework you will do fine. Class is not hard if you are not lazy. If you are, good luck. She gives a lot of extra credit which is key. Very helpful during office hours as well.

fun class because she says things like**** and ****.

A great teacher, she really knows her stuff. Quizzes are a bit hard, but ok if you read. Go to class and participate. She keeps class interesting.

I had signed up for this course thinking that it would be something fun to do that isn't related to my major. The first test will nail most people, but things really start to click after that. She presents the material in a way that is both easy to understand and entertaining.

Dae made this class very interesting and I like having her as a professor. Only thing is, this class involves a lot of reading!

Class is overall really interesting and fun. The only downside is we stay the whole class period.

Nice lady.

Seems more advanced than an introductory course. As an upper division student, I enjoyed the challenge. Freshman may find it too difficult. Very interesting material. I recommend it to anyone who likes to learn and wants to know more about how we are socialized.

great prof. she really explains material and wants you to understand what it is your learning. It is up to you to apply and comprehend. she encourages questions and provides extra credit points for test.

Dae is a very cool teacher who is honest and straight forward. This is how a sociology class should be taught. Material is fairly easy, and as long as you read each week an A is in your future

cool just make sure you go to class a.t.

Shes a really entertaining teacher..but the quizes are pretty tough..overall i really like her..makes class at 9:45 pm worth going to..

good teacher, her notes are helpful and it is nice having the book she made because when you go home everything that was explained in class is explained in it.

SHE IS THE BEST. SHE LOVES TO TEACH AND CARES ABOUT HER STUDENTS.

she is not liberal at all. She makes two teams and has us argue either point, even if its not what you believe. She does this because it allows the person to know both sides of the argument

I don't really think this class is too liberal. If you listen to all the points she makes on a subject you do hear the argument for both sides. I hate horribly liberal teachers who push their agenda but this is not one of those teachers. I just think that in a debate you really can't limit someone. My hand sure does get tired being in the air:)

Very Helpful! She actually gave me the book because I could not afford it this semester! Takes time out for her students during office hours and after class (and that's pretty late). Cares very much about her students... Even those who dis and disagree with her. Funny, Open, Great person! You should take this class. It is an eye-opener

Elliot is da bomb! Take her when you are awake because she hates it when you are sleepy. Macionis book easier than O'brien, but focus on latter book or it will cost you. Good class to take for fun. Do well on those little quizzes, they add up quickly. Try to understand concepts. Study groups are good. Class participation helps for extra credit. SB06

Dae is a good professor and stats is a hard subject to swallow but her course guide is so good! Just do the hw which helps you understand, then do the extra cred quizzes on blackboard b/c they help a lot. It really boosted my grade up. Do really well on the first 5 tests and you can drop 6. Don't miss class or give up b/c I saw it happen. sb06

Dae Elliot is a great professor. She's not "too liberal." She's fair on issues and knows her stuff. Expect to work hard for an A. I know I had too. Her class consists of small quizzes on a main text, a midterm, final, and participation. If you want a good grade... do all the extra credit and participation! There is a lot of it. Soc101 is great clas

Professor Elliot helps her students A LOT. She provides extra credits and this will help you a lot on your tests so you should do them! You will need to study hard though. You deserve what you study for. She puts a lot of effort for her students and I really appreciated that. In this class, your grade is what you deserve so be strict to yourself!

The grade was based on the 5 highest scores out of the 6 test given and the tests are straight out of the book. If you go to class, take the tests seriously and study exactly what she tells you to then it's not that bad.

nice lady but a HARD class. you have to read and you have to go to class because there are weekly quizzes that are SUPER hard. Group project is ridiculously hard and tedious. Dont recommend her.

as boring as she is, the class is very interesting and open. it's a true eye opener. there were a lot of days where we just watched videos and they were in fact entertaining. she posts chapter outlines every week and those are enough for the quizzes but read for midterm and final!!! she offers tons of extra credit.

Hard class, but good class. While she doesn't take attendance, there are in-class quizzes that make up half your grade, so go to class! Tests are short but tough. She's really interested and knowlageable in the topic and really liberal. And we once got to put comdoms on bananas for a whole class, which was fun. Just read the text and you'll be fine

I honestly loved this class. I found everything we talked about to be very interesting and she is so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the subject matter. At first the quizes every week are a bit tough but you get use to them, and they're not too difficult. She offers lots of extra credit as well. I would definitely take this class again!!

Great class! Dae made it interesting and was really helpful. Lots of extra credit. She's a hard tester though so make sure you read and attend classes. Quizzes a lot! Loved the class so much that I changed my major to Sociology!

She is a no bs type of professor. Won't curve, and gives pop quizzes and uses those as an attendance sheet. She is funny and will keep you entertained. You have study guides for each chapter, those help a lot. Her test aren't extremely hard, but she puts answers in there that will confuse you on purpose. Fun class though.

I LOVED this class, but you have to read A LOT. Reading in book and on blackboard. Tests are HARD & confusing, but shes reasonable. Most is NOT from book and will hurt you if you dont read/watch extras. Great teacher, makes things interactive and relates to real life. If you are a good student take dae. If you slack, MOVE ON, YOU WONT DO WELL

She's not too difficult. The subject is interesting, but her extra readings and movies are boring and she goes off topic often. You don't have to read the book, just look at the study guides and summary at the end of the chapter, but you HAVE to read/watch all the extra assignments, usually an hour or two extra a week.

Funny lady, tells a lot of personal stories but sometimes they are a little tmi. There is a lot of reading and work outside of class.. read ALL the chapters and highlight and watch/read extra stuff posted on blackboard there are a lot of test questions on them. Go to class there are pop quizzes.. I read, went to class and got an A !

Loved her! She is by far one of my favorite professors at State. Her passion for the subject material is reflected through her teaching. Took her in a summer course. No tests, just one (easy) final essay, and weekly homework assignments. The book is necessary for the homework assignments. She's funny, too, which is a plus.

Fair grader, but the tests have a lot of supplemental content on them. READ THE SUPPLEMENTAL WORK. If your schedule allows you to read extra stuff, go for it.

Too much work to be an easy GE class. Read the text, her outlines, and course documents! She gives extra credit opportunities so do it.

Funny lady but hard class, made the class interesting for the most part. She doesn't take attendance but gives lots of quizzes that you can't make up so you have to attend. Have to read all her extra reading but she gives outlines for the text book stuff

No more pop quizzes, just three tests. Class isn't mandatory but you have to go if you want extra credit (25 pts helps so much when you only have three 100 pt tests). Book material was easy. There's a lot of extra readings/videos you need to know. This class is an easy A if you keep up with all the readings and do the extra credit. She's cool too.

This is definately a no BS class. You have to keep up with the chapter readings, and the extra reading assignments. If you don't you're screwed. Your grade is the average of 3 tests, but you also can get up to 25 pts extra credit. Go to class, read, and study, and you can do alright.

Elliot is a great professor. She relates to her lectures in a personal way and is a great person overall. They're three test and 25 extra credit points (5 extra at the end which equals 30). Go to her office hours and get to know her! I did average on all tests but extra credit got me a C.

Even though I did not do well in her class, she did give lots of extra credit options. Those in the end only help enough if you did decent on the tests. The tests were packed with information, which wouldnt be hard if you understand soc. She is a great lady though, so if soc is for you take her!

Easy A!I got over 100% by attending class to see all the movies for the test & to get the xtra credit. DON'T read the entire chapters in the book. Just use her outline to skim through them & memorize the defs. Also do the outside readings a few days before the test & remember the main point of them. 25 pts xtra credit gives you 5% towards ur grade!

For anyone who actually cares about their education and doesn't have the mindset of "D's get degrees", take this class. It will be interesting and you will get a good grade. For all the slackers-don't.

Dae is a nice lady, never heard her insult anyone and I wasn't bored except some videos. she's liberal but taught all sides. She even gave extra credit if you came up with different ideas, only thing, you had to have evidence which wasn't so easy. Didn't get the grade I wanted but liked the class

Professor Elliott was a great teacher. Her lectures were always interesting and she showed some really intriguing videos. I got by with an A- and never opened the book. Her chapter outlines are a HUGE help when studying for exams and she gives a generous amount of extra credit. Don't take if you expect a super easy A though.

Elliot lectures and uses a powerpoint. Reading textbook is helpful, too. She is very fair. There was some discussion in class. Seemed to be bias in subject material, but she did know what she was talking about.

professor is an amazing teacher. However the class is based off of three incredibly difficult texts that require up-to-date readings that are very time-consuming. Class was difficult.

Dae is scary in the beginning but very helpful if you went in to see her during office hours. Not easy but fair. She has group projects. my group was good but some others in the class didn't work out. Tests and homework were curved. The book is ok but long. Her lectures really help.

She is extremely difficult and her lectures have almost nothing to do with the tests. READ YOUR BOOK. if you don't you will be in BIG trouble. Most I talked to in class, who weren't in the major struggled. Don't be afraid to ask her questions. She is a little intimidating but respects those who ask for help when they need it.

Professor Elliot is phenomenal. I learned to view the world critically and fully understand the rules that gender plays in our society. Engaging and controversial topics- we analyzed p*rn in one class and talked about "good s**" in another. She is difficult but read your book, do all of the extra credit, and study and you will succeed.

Prof Elliot did a great job teaching this course. The test are hard and yes they are meant to be tricky. She does offer extra credit but earning all the points can be hard. Her blue exam should not have been out of 100 points, and if this is the only thing you take from the class, then there is a problem.

Prof. elliott, is scary and intimidating. She knows her stuff and she expects you to know it too by the time you leave her class. She has a lot of group work so you better hope she puts you in a good group where the students actually care about their grade. Make sure you read the text book.Read,study, do your work and ex credit you will be fine!

Best class ever. Had a blast. Must read though. This is the second class I've taken from her and she means what she says when she tells you to read before the lecture. Tests are not easy but fair. Lots of extra credit if you are not good at tests.

Elliott is my favorite professor at State. She is SO cool! Had a blast in this class. It's pretty easy too. Two midterms and one final, all multiple choice. She also gives a lot of extra credit opportunities - I got an A- in this class simply by reading the chapter outlines, articles and doing the pretty easy e.c. assignments! Take this class!

One of the best teachers I've had. Elliott really cares about her students. The class is not easy but not hard either. Read and attend class, do some e.c. and you'll do good

Very interesting class! Requires a TON of reading and tests are all on the readings as well as the lectures. She's a great teacher who know's a lot but if you're looking for an easy A, this is not the course.

Very enlightening class. Professor is strict and expects the best from her students. Read the book and you will get a good grade. offers some extra credit but she grades very hard on it. She seems intimidating but she is very intellectual. Enjoyed her class and would take more with her =]

This is my 2nd class with Elliott. I've learned so much from her. She will make you THINK. Pay attention, read the book, attend the lectures, do the extra credit. This class was really interesting and beneficial. Elliott focuses more on students' learning rather than students getting good grades, which is what teaching should be about.

VERY funny prof! Tests arent easy, but its college. READ your book, pay attention and you'll do fine. Not a class you can slack off in. But no tricks. Straight fwd. Great teacher, she adds humor and reality to her course. Loved the class. Take for a changed look on gender roles!

The best class I've ever taken. Professor Elliott is charismatic, smart, and entertaining. I looked forward to each lecture and I thoroughly enjoyed the homework assignments. Soc 320 Gender Studies at SDSU is worth the time and money.

Dae really loves teaching and knows her stuff. To do well: read your book, go to class and participate, go to office hours and ask questions if you have them. I laughed a lot and learned a lot. Great class and professor.

My absolute favorite class I've taken at State, and I'm a senior. I was excited for this class every week. Reading the text book is a must in order to do well on the test, but fortunately it's an interesting text. She has a great sense of humor, but can be quite stern at times. This, however, made the students respect her. I highly recommend.

She's a good teacher, but read the book because that's what most of her tests were on. I had her for the Honors soc320 and it was definitely the best honors class I've had.

3 tests, 3 papers, turn in small assignments every week. I showed up, listened to her lectures, read the material, and got an A. Honestly, she's pretty clear about her expectations. Not sure why so many people got low grades. Was an interesting and eye opening class to take as a non-major.

This was a really interesting class! The course content and concepts were eye opening, but it does have a good sized work load. Just stay on top of the reading and get a feel for what she'll ask on tests during the lectures. Also do the extra credit! And score as high as you can on the blue book to pad your grade. Not too hard! Elliott is great.

An interesting class, just stay on top of the readings and assignments and you will do good. She offers a lot of extra credit opportunities that are real simple to complete. The exams are based on the readings, so know them pretty good. First exam is hard, pretty much to break you-hence she was in the Navy, so she will break you at first.

Dae is an extremely caring person. Once you get to know her she really is a sweetheart. This class has a lot of busy work. Not what I expected. 3 tests. 3 papers (drops the lowest) and weekly homework on the readings.

Class is informative and interesting. The professor is very knowledgeable on the subject. I felt that Dae really wanted you to learn the material and was always available with any questions. I took away a lot of the material and feel I have a better understanding of Queer History and Theory. I would take her class again.

Great teacher, very interesting and offered a lot of extra credit. You have to read the book though, if you don't not only are you going to fail the tests but you will seriously be cutting yourself short comprehension-wise in the class. Go to class and stay on top of the reading and you will love this class!

AMAZING professor, AMAZING class! Yes, the class is a hard one, but it's not impossible to do well if you put in the effort. Read the book, go to class, do the extra credit. Class is always exciting, informative and hilarious. Prof. Elliott is an incredible and wonderful teacher: do NOT miss the opportunity to be taught by her.

Dae is one of the best teachers I have EVER had. I suggest everyone take at least one of her classes especially if you are interested in self actualizing, and or becoming a more well rounded individual. The lessons you learn are invaluable. You won't be disappointed!

This is a very very interesting and important class for anyone who cares about social justice and the unfounded reasons for oppression of a minority class of citizens. The material is thorough and the Professor breaks it down clearly. This class opened my eyes to yet another social challenge to be Fought.

Dae is a very caring, educated person when it comes to LGBT topics. I felt that the class was fairly straightforward and not difficult. Just do the homework (MC questions about the reading), 3 papers and any extra credit and there should be no reason for one not do receive a good grade.

Attendance in this class is not mandatory but you will do a lot better if you go. She is tough but fair. She is really funny and gives good extra credit opportunities (take advantage of them just in case you need them). The main projects in the class are group projects (like the real world) if you dont like that dont take her but your missing out.

She is one of my favorite professors because she makes the class material relevant to what can actually be used in the area of study. She does require work to be done, but it is fun to listen to her lectures. Do the extra credit she offers at the beginning of the semester!

Prof. Elliot is tough but fair. The readings are long and boring but the lectures are dynamic and engaging. She offers plenty of opportunities for extra credit. Just do the work, it pays off in the end.

This class was very enjoyable, manageable, and had topics of great interest all throughout.

After the first exam you get a feel for what she is asking for. She is really open minded and really exact in her answers, the tests were a bit tricky so if you do not think you will do a good job, she has a lot of extra credit opportunities that will make up for the test.

Going into this class, I had little to no interest. But, the professor really changed my mind. I really enjoyed this course and would take it again in a heart beat! Be ready to work hard, get uncomfortable about touchy topics, and have fun with it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Easy and interesting material. It is not absolutely necessary to attend class, but definitely in your best interest. Class has three scantron tests and a blue book essay exam. Test questions are somewhat tricky, but you can pull off an A if you read the lectures and the book.

AMAZING TEACHER! I had a big interest in this class before starting, so take that into mind, but I am not a sociology major and she was extremely interesting, clear, funny, and helpful. Would DEFINITELY recommend this class! Super important stuff.

Professor Elliott makes this class great. While there is a lot of reading and material covered throughout the course, her lectures clarify everything. She offers a lot of extra credit to buffer your test grades. You have to read the book and pay attention in class if you want to do well on the tests. If you keep up with the work, you'll be fine.

This was a thought provoking class, I highly recommend it. Expect to read 20-30 pages of text from the assigned readings, per week. Professor Elliott’s tests are not easy, but all the extra credit she gives can balance out the difficulty. Class attendance is important, if you skip lectures you will miss material.

One of the top 3 professors I have had at this school as far as interesting and entertaining lectures. She is hilarious and blunt. You won't receive an easy A if you don't read and take notes of what you read and at least attend a majority of lectures but by doing all of that and with a huge amount of extra credit available an A shouldn't be hard

Dae is an exceptional professor. She may come off as difficult, but she genuinely cares about her student's success so long as they care to the same degree. If you have to take a Stats class I would HIGHLY recommend Dae Elliot. Difficult course and requires lots of reading, focus, and determination. Simply ask her for help, and she's happy to help.

Didn't take this class seriously at first and I suffered. You HAVE to pay attention and do the work like she asks. Her tests are hard and the material is complex but she is very helpful if you go to her at office hours and I appreciated that. She's funny and tough but I'm glad I had her. Great teacher, good experience.

She was kind of confusing in class, but she is helpful to go talk to outside of class. Just do the work and finish homework before classes and you will be fine. She is a fair teacher and cares about her students. Overall, she's a good teacher and helps students when they need it.

This tests seem hard, but once you understand the multiple choice questions the tests get easier. She drops one test grade so it helps boost your grade. Also, if you go in and talk to her she is nice and always helps out. She often will give you extra points on your test if you go to her office hours and go over the tests.

YOU NEED TO PURCHASE THE REQUIRED BOOKS, READ BEFORE LECTURE, DO ALL HOMEWORK (WHICH IS NOT ASSIGNED), STUDY, AND ATTEND ALL CLASSES IF YOU WANT TO PASS WITH AN A. I COULDN'T AFFORD THE BOOK, AND I MISSED THE LAST LECTURES. I GOT A B IN THE CLASS BUT IT WAS REALLY HARD. YOU CAN'T FALL BEHIND BECAUSE THE MATERIAL BUILDS UP!! HARD WORK PAYS OFF!

Prof. Elliot is a great teacher that truly cares for her students. She understands it is not everyones easy subject. However, you do have to earn her grade. In the end she does help you out a lot. I had to take this class as a prerequisite, and I am glad I took it with this professor.

Very passionate about activism and LGBT rights and promotes a great deal of discussion and critical thinking in class, which is vital in a course like this. Though she is enmeshed in identity politics and was fan-girling over MacKinnon and Dworkin, she was very open to all thought and encouraged students to be informed too. Great professor.

This class really was difficult, but you HAVE to make the effort. If you read the book ahead of time, take advantage of her and tutoring, the math will eventually "click". his was my most challenging course, but I appreciated her passion and concern for making sure we understand the work.

This is a very difficult class and Professor Elliot acknowledges it by dropping the final test and heavily curving it. Read the books, do your homework over and over. Repetition. It'll stick to you and you'll get it.

I love her! She is definitely not the easiest and you do have to read all the articles for the tests, but she is fantastic! She is really interested in the subject and runs her class as more of an open discussion on things. Three tests, 5 response papers. Take this class if you're interested in LGBT!

This is a very difficult class but if you try hard and do what she asks an A is very possible. She is a very nice person and wants to help her students so go to her if you are struggling or need any help. You will have to put in more effort then most other classes! She lets you review the tests in her office which really helps.

This class is difficult, but the professor is always there to help you. DO THE HOMEWORK and if you have any questions GO TO HER OFFICE HOURS! This is a difficult course, but she drops the final and curves your grades at the end of this semester. Definitely worth taking if you're up for the challenge.

Awesome professor! Very strict on work but do the extra credit and it will help a lot! Must read before exams but the reading is interesting, so just do it! Take her if you really want to learn about LGBT! I did, and learned so much. Will be taking another LGBT class next semester :-)

All the answers to the tests are straight from your assigned articles and chapters in the textbook. Essays are graded pretty leniently...you could write one on the day it's due and still manage 23/25 pts. The lectures are very interesting and there's a video almost every week. Take this class if you're interested in LGBT stuff.

Have to work really hard but she's very helpful. Took her last year and and taking qual methods now. I am so glad I had Dae. She really prepares you! Great and caring teacher. Love her!

Dae was a really awesome professor. So interesting and lectures were always casual. Class doesn't feel like a lecture but more like a discussion. Topics discussed were all current and anyone who had an opinion on them were able to freely state them. Super fun, but make sure you go to class! She offers e.c for certain days only to those in class

Good and funny teacher. Must buy bookand keep on track of the reading. This is vital for the tests.

Great professor! Her lectures are interesting and provide great eye openers. She is hilarious and provides quite a bit of opportunities for extra credit.

Great class! Tests were definitely hard! So reading and attending class is a must if you want to pass! Any questions you have she is more likely to answer them right after class is over or in her office.

Great professor! Gives many opportunities just have to capitalize on them. Well structured and interesting lectures allowing room for discussion was a great way to set in material presented. Although, test wording and presentation are not hard they are challenging .

Professor Dae is a really good teacher, but her class is not an easy A. You have to do all the reading and show up to class to pass the tests. Her tests aren't tricky, but you have to actually know the answers. You can't really narrow them down. The material is interesting and there's lots of chances for extra credit. Overall fun class!

You have one group for the whole semester and you do 4 projects together. Tests are difficult, you have to study. You also have aplia questions. Not an enjoyable class but you have to get through it if you're a soc major and Professor Dae makes it not as painful! She's very helpful during class and office hours and offers a ton of extra credit.

Good class but you have to read. Lectures were great and funny. Tests can be tricky.

She clearly knows what she's talking about, and is very passionate about it. I was in the Honors section of the course. This is not an easy A by any means - LOTS of reading, fairly dense material. She'll help if you reach out to her. Grades are determined entirely by tests, and some EC points. Would prefer to have more graded assignments to cushion

Professor Dae is wonderful! College is suppose to be a challenge. Prof. Dae challenges her student while providing insightful lectures with video components. I encourage more men to take the class, and I also advise all students to not be set on first impressions aka the first day of class. Plenty of extra credit to off set the hard tests.

Professor Elliott was extremely helpful with assignments and understanding the material. Her tests were fairly hard; however, when I took notes in class and reviewed the book a bit, I did well on them. She also offers a lot of extra credit, which helps for boosting your grade.

3 multiple choice tests, 1 blue book test, extra credit options, no homework Multiple choice tests aren't easy- I averaged an 80 but made up for it with the BB test & ec. Do the extra credit, watch her films (show up to class) and read at least most of the assigned reading and you will do fine. Lecturesvideos are interesting, Dae is a good prof

I love this teacher! She funny and very smart. She tries to be very engaged and offers a lot of interesting extra credit. Her exams are difficult but it's a good test as far as how much you know the material. I liked her lectures, she tries to make it short, simple, funny, interesting, and condensed. I would like to take her class again for sure.

Group and individual assignments are tough, but if you go to her office hours, she gives you great feedback. The Aplia isn't very hard, just time-consuming, take your time and do well on those. You MUST study hard for the midterm and final, the questions can be tricky, so study the material over and over again. I worked very hard for an A.

She is an amazing professor who enjoys teaching. she is funny and class will go by fast. She shows a documentary every other week and they are relevant to the readings. if you don't do the readings you will suffer in the tests. She offers a lot of extra credit and there are 3 multiple choice test and a blue book exam(it is really easy).

Honestly her tests really are not that hard!!! All multiple choice.. if you just come to class and listen you can get by with Cs on the tests. She is very funny and really cares about her students taking the concepts from the course and applying them to everyday social life. Very interesting and enlightening class. Would recommend 100%

She is a very good professor and knows her material. She is entertaining too! She gives very hard tests but she cares and gives many extra credit opportunities! Go to class. Particpate she gives you points for it! Definitely recommend this class pretty interesting.

This class was very interesting. You should go to class to watch all of the videos and lectures because her tests are very specific. But if you do all of the readings and go to class, you will be fine. She offers a lot of extra credit as well.

I really enjoyed this class. I got an A by reading the book, watching her videos, doing a lot of extra credit(really easy), and going to lecture. This was the only class this semester that I never missed. Her lectures are very interesting. I actually learned a lot in this class. I would do it all again I loved it

One of my favorite classes and teachers at State! If you read the book, take notes on the videos and pay attention in class, you'll pass with flying colors. Professor Elliot packs in humor, great insight and heart into a worthwhile semester! I would take the class again next semester if I could.

Nothing about this class was easy, but if you show genuine effort, and go to see her in her office hour, you'll probably pass. Group assignments are a huge part of this class, and you're stuck with the same people the entire semester, so try to fill your table with people who seem like they'll contribute.

I loved this professor! Her lectures are ver interesting, and she gives plenty of opportunities for extra credit. As long as you pay attention in class and review notes before the test you should be fine. I would definitely take another one of her classes!

Great class, she knows her material and she is really funny too. Show up, read and participate, she gives you points for it. Tests are very challenging but she gives you lots of opportunity to improve your grade! Definitely recommend this if you want to think outside the box.

Really great class. She assigns a lot of articles and videos to watch for the class but they're all super interesting and very relatable to everyday life

She is a great lecturer and makes the class very interesting to attend. I recommend reading the book and going to lecture because her tests are largely based on lecture and some text.

Took this class as my cultural diversity fulfillment and LOVED it. Very enlightening material and her tests are really not hard if you just come to class and skim over the chapters.. the book is a very light and easy read. Anyone complaining about this class just didn't come to lectures.. very enjoyable elective, would recommend 10/10.

This is one of the most enjoyable classes I have ever taken but I might be biased since I am gay and felt very uneducated on the LGBT community so now I feel like I have learned so much, and I want to learn more. Didn't like the mc questions she had us write too much but once I got the hang of it, they were ok.

she is an amazing person. amazing. i miss her class. i took 2 of them. she is TOUGH, but FAIR. you study hard you will get an A. but you have to know the information so well that you don't get fooled ny any kind of trick she throws in her exams. her class was basically a mater of memorizing. it feels good and pays off to work hard & earn an A in he

She seems like she's hard and likes to give that image of herself (i think!) But she's such a nice human being! if you go to her office and talk to her she'll welcome you! She was so sweet to write me a letter of recommendation 3 other than that theres two exams (study for it) and hopefully you get a good group! And work on aplia

Prof. Elliott is amazing and really knows her stuff. Tests were MC and kind of difficult but if you just read EVERYTHING on the syllabus, go to class and go over the powerpoints you should do fine. Would take another class with her.

Soc 320 was an interesting class, lectures are never boring (if you have issues staying on top of reading assignments dont miss class for test purposes). Prof Elliott is very helpful and understanding of extreme circumstances (i missed the first 3 weeks due to back surgery). 3 tests and one Blue Book exam! I wish I needed more Soc classes. Got an A

Professor Elliot is FANTASTIC! Yes, the class is a healthy challenge, but it is upper division and I took it as honors! Not to mention, the extra credit buffers as a grade curve. I got an A and I learned so much. It's also incredibly helpful the way Elliot designs multiple choice tests. It's great preparation for grad school entrance exams.

The class is very enjoyable. Numbers here can be misguiding, cause for sure you won't pass with just assistance, however, the subjects, her lectures and material are interesting, rhetoric and enjoyable. I don't remember yawning on this class so you can get the idea of how involving it is. The professor made the class for me, really!

You absolutely NEED to read the textbook in order to pass the tests but it's an easy read. There are a LOT of long scholarly articles you also have to read that are pretty painful to get through though. It's a great class though. Really interesting and the lectures are entertaining. Dae is a great professor and absolutely hilarious.

This course really opened my eyes to meaningful, current issues and the environment for a straight ally was very welcoming and involving. There is a lot of material on each test, but if you pay attention to the specifics and do the readings, you should be fine.

Soc301 Research Methods is a tough class. I did well but I had to work for it!! Elliot is a great instructor. She gives good feedback if you go to her office hours. She will make you think critically, but it is a valuable skill to have. The class is a lot of lectures and group work. Pay attention to the grading rubrics she gives-She follows them!

Elliott can be hard but she points out in detail what it is she is looking for both in Ind. and Group Assignments. If you put in the time and effort to actually read the text and rubrics you won't have a problem completing assignments. Group work is the toughest considering you need to have everyone collaborate. Office hours are a life saver!!!

Prof. Elliot is excellent. She is engaged and helpful. She makes the material accessible and is willing to help, but don't mistake her for a softie. There is a TON of opportunity for extra credit so even if you aren't a stellar test taker or essay writer you can get a good grade. A very fun and interesting class.

Hard subject. Very nice lady. Knows her stuff. Always available. Very reasonable.

This class is amazing. As long as you attend class (which is wicked interesting), read all the articles she posts online, and watch all the movies, you'll do fine. She allows up to 35 pts of extra credit to bump your grade (which helps a lot). Would take this class again, it was really eye opening! Love her!

Great teacher, intimidating at first but she is easy going as the semester progresses. The entire semester is focused around group projects. If you do the online homework and attend class and make sure you and your group go to office hours you are golden !!!

Lectures were tough to sit through at times. But Elliott tries her best to help you understand the terminology. You will be working with a group all semester. I was fortunate enough to be put in a group where everyone got along and mostly everyone contributed. Elliott seems intimidating at first, but she's a really kind woman. Lots of EC chances.

I like her style of teaching.

Do all the online homework quizzes, make sure you understand what she asks for in the group projects and home works. Go to office hours and do the extra credit. I thought the assignments were a little bit overwhelming and confusing at first, but she is really helpful if you ask her.

You MUST do the assignments. They are worth only a part of your grade, but they're easy to do (don't wait till the the day they're due) and will help you do better on your tests. She gives lots of extra credit, but it's easier to just the weekly, easy work.

Her class was intimidating at first but she keeps you on top of your work. Lots of extra credit opportunities, don't miss them. Some of the content can be hard to understand but if you take the time to ask her for help (office hours, email) she is very responsive and helpful. Basically, you get what you put in. She's a really good teacher.

If you're looking for an easy A you're looking in the wrong place. That being said it is obtainable if you're willing to put in the work. Make sure to read the textbook and you should have a firm grasp of the class and she is quick to respond to e-mails too. Follow her provided rubrics for assignments as much as you can and you should be good.

She is funny and as long as you read over power points (going to class you get more notes), and look over the reviews and do them you will get decent grades. The blue book is not as bad as it seems but definitely have some key words and examples from readings to throw in so they KNOW you have been paying attention.

She is one of the "old school" sociologist that are still kicking and screaming. Aced both of her test, actually the blue book is where I did the worst. Maybe I just didn't listen. This is an easy A, if you don't let her intimidate you too much. Lol. Tons of Extra Credit, like for real. Fun class, show up is the main things. Book is out dated.

Elliot is a very laid back professor. Her class consists of 4 exams (3 regular exams MC, 1 blue book). I say that in order to do well in her class you MUST do the textbook reading and not simply study of the powerpoint from her lectures. Her MC exams are very hard she makes it very comprehensive. Despite that she is a good professor.

One of the most memorable and best professors I've had to date. She really opened my mind to a lot of things and made me step outside my own world to see perspectives of others. Very valuable class.

She's funny and gives a lot of extra credit. She might do one extra credit assignment worth a lot, definitely do it. You really have to study for the test though.

Elliot is a great prof. Unlike most soc101 classes, there are no essays! She lectures most classes, take notes because her tests are 50% lecture/ppt 20% reading 20%readings/movies. The movies shown are pretty cool. She is funny, and makes the topic extremely interesting. Do the EC offered at the beginning of the semester--it's worth it.

Dae is an amazing professor! She really cares about your learning and gives great lectures. Her class is structured to force you to learn and she has super fun side projects and extra credit. Her tests are hard though. Trust me. Every question has all of the above or none of the above as a choice. If you studied, you'll be fine, but it's scary.

Overall very easy class, going into it I saw a lot of "Skip Class Won't Pass" on here, however I never went to class and still found the tests easy. I advise you do the big extra credit assignment if she assigns one because it's worth a 6-7% grade boost.

Super easy online. Only take this online. Go to the extra credits she offers because they boost your grade and they are very simple. You can pretty much find every test question on quizlet so def an easy A.

I took the online class and it was pretty easy. She makes it clear how grading works and the class was really organized and structured. 20% mindtap, 20% participation, and each of the 3 tests was 20%. Just be sure to watch the videos and read the articles she has or at least know the general information about them because they show up on the test.

To be honest, you probably do not need to attend any of her lectures if you just read and do all the assignments, but they are kinda informative about outside ongoing issues. If you really want to pass with an A, really engage in the assignments and relate it to yourself and also READ the textbook. It helps so much. Good luck.

Dae is clearly very passionate about this subject, which makes lectures engaging, although she often goes off on tangents. Tests were hard - multiple choice, all/none of the above options often, but if you read the book you should be able to figure it out. Definitely reading the book is necessary. Lots of extra credit offered to buffer test grades!

Elliot's hybrid class was a really good class to take. You probably don't have to go to every single lecture but you have to get 60 participation points so try to utilize all of the opportunities you can. Also, ACTUALLY read the textbook and all of the articles and videos she posts. You'll do a lot better on the tests!!

If you aren't prepared to be an independent learner, don't take this class. ESPECIALLY online. There were 3 exams and 4 papers which relied heavily on the content she provides for the class, so read everything and watch everything. I took this class with the assumption that because I'm LGBT it would be easy. WRONG! Gotta work for that grade!
