Ms. Robinson was a great teacher. Her lectures were so interesting, it was the class I looked forward to everyday. She is not afraid to say things that need to be said in lectures. I would take any one of her classes again. I HIGHLY recommend her. Her tests are not too hard and she explains the material very well.

Super Easy Class, an A is easily attainable in this class. She made the class pretty interesting, although alot of class periods do go wasted. For people who don't want to go to class alot this may be a good thing. No Final in this class also which was nice, instead there's a Group Debate final which was really fun for some, not for others lol.

Amazing teacher! By far my favorite teacher that I have taken. She asks only for 3 essays and 3 tests. If you stay engaged in class discussions and keep up with the work(which is very minimal), you will pass the class with no problem. Each of her classes require a textbook, but if you just take notes during class, you will be completely okay.

The best Soc professor you'll ever meet. Her class was super easy and flexible. I had to leave the country for about a month and she made everything accessible to me. A few quizzes, and documentary analysis. A couple of discussions and that's literally all. Book analysis's are super easy too. The textbook is cheap and understandable.

I believe I received an A in SOC305 and a B in SOC301 class. Each lecture had the same setup and it was easy to follow. Textbooks were accessible online and able to be downloaded. Professor Lugo is caring and checks in with her students frequently. Definitely a class I'd take again because she is consistent, organized, and very informative. :)

If you work full time, have kids... this is the class for you! Professor Lugo let us pick our own assignments based on what worked for us. She gives you the points for each assignment and how much you need to get each letter grade. Assignments were great and she's so personable. The issues she chose really opened my eyes and broadened my thinking.

Ms. Lugo is very passionate about Sociology. I loved that we were in charge of our grades. She made assignments due and they were worth different amounts of points. Once we had the grade we desired, we did not have to do anymore. Her lectures were AMAZING and made you think. I would love to take her for more classes.

Choosing our assignments was cool because I had enough points for an A nearing the end of the semester, giving me more time to study for my STEM class finals. What really helped me was Prof. Lugo's generous late policy -- it saved my butt a couple of times, so thank you very very much Prof. Lugo!!! My only critique is grading took a while.

Professor Lugo does this point system which can be helpful but was personally confusing for me; make sure you read the syllabus and understand her grading rubric. Assignments overall were pretty easy, weekly discussions, quizzes, and reflection/writing papers plus final paper (ALA); e-textbook (free--she wrote it) and documentaries she has listed.

When I was former student at CRC,my main concerns revolved around the exams (multiple choice and fill-in the blank questions). The SocialProblems textbook author AnnaLeon-Guerrero sometimes left out tricky puzzle pieces in relationship to ProfessorLugo exams. Attendance was mandatory and understanding true/false questions including essays was hard.

I honestly agree with my former Sociology classmate,if Professor Lugo would have simplified the exam worded questions (true/false,fill-in the blank, et al etc),alongside submitting the extra credit and essay homework assignments,we could possibly achieve the next letter grade bump. Back then,before COVID-19 hit,some classmates ruined focus studies.

Professor Lugo is genuinely one of the nicest professors I have ever had. She structures the class in a points-based style rather than a percentage-based one. There are 855 points total; you need 630 to get an A. You can pick and choose which assignments you would like to do, and can even skip the last week's assignments + final and still get an A.
