Of all my years in school Ms. Pirtle has been my most favorite teacher.She makes the class very engaging and interesting that you can't help but to learn.I'm currently a middle school teacher and she has been my role model professionally.It has been 16 years since I have taken her class and till this day I still keep in touch.She's truly the best!!

great teacher with great energy. class is fun and never boring because shes makes it fun and shes funny. mostly lecture and taking notes, you need to read the book in order to do good also though. for some reason though she likes to rush through the class for summer, i mean really unnecessarily fast. thats the only bad thing i can think of.

I adore her! Ms. Pirtle will make you feel at home. Very funny and caring, and she's just amazing! I wish I could take her again and again. Study the study guides. I do recommend getting her book because you have to browse through it to find the answers for the study guide. Besides, who doesn't enjoy reading sex!? 4 tests one project. Easy!

She's fun. Tries to be funny and succeeds sometimes, but sometimes not. haha The class was interesting. Group project at the end was the only downside.

Super, super funny. Expert about the topic and how its involved in everyday life. Great lectures. Study the notes and you will pass. Simple as that. She is the class clown. Group project at the end of the semester. I look forward to her class. I recommend everyone reading this to take Pirtle for Sociology 210. You won't regret it :)

Diane Pirtle was a cool professor. She likes what she does and is quite funny! Type of professor that listens to you. Shes not hard. There are only 4 tests and a group project at the end of the semester. Reading the book is ESSENTIAL to passing the class.

She's an amazing teacher!! I LOVED her class. She's very easy going and explains things in a way you'll understand. You do have to read the chapters because, trust me, it will make your life easier. Her tests aren't hard especially if you do the reading. 4 test 1 group project. But don't be afraid the class is so fun you'll be sad to go.

Professor Pirtle is the best! she is a great teacher and her lectures are fun and not boring at all. When asking for advice or help she will help. Don't use your phone In class she will put you on the spot. it's one of her pet peeves besides that I recommend her class.

She is honestly the best sociology teacher ever!!!! I loved her. The lectures were always interesting and she always knew how to make the class laugh. She is very helpful with anything you need. Besides the mandatory reading everything else was great, she even gives mini study guides for her test! I would take this class again in a heart beat.

She is really a great professor. Not once was her class boring. She always kept the students engaged. She was funny and easy-going but managed to get the material across. Furthermore, this class is about material everyone should know. Pirtle is just an awesome person altogether.

Pirtle is an amazing professor. Not only does she lecture very well but she makes the class fun. She's not mean and she's definitely not boring. She makes the class enjoyable while actually learning and participating. She will make you work for the grade you want.

Amazing teacher! She's funny and makes it feel like it's not even a class. Her lectures are entertaining. She gives out study guides for the tests that have half of the questions. As long as you do the reading you'll pass. Definitely my favorite professor I've ever had.

Would take again

Professor Pirtle is a professor you must take if you really want to enjoy classes. You will also learn a lot of things but you will learn and at the same time she will leave a good impression upon yourself.
