EASY.

She's pretty good. You have to do a presentation, but its like 10 ppl per group. CURVES midterm, the 2 papers, and final. So overall, she's nice, fair, and prepare to watch videos. No surprise quizzes or anything like that. Recommended. If you dunno material, expect a B; if you do tho, expect an A!

Seriously... i think its just common sense because i felt that I wasn't doing that great in the class and turned out I gotta A. People were freaking out, yet turned out good. So i don't think theres much to worry. she's just boring that's all. OH.. Participate, she'll love you!!!!

You work hard and learn a lot. Readings are heavy. You have to attend and should talk in class; this is for law! Keep up with current events too and proofread your papers. Any problems? Go see Dr. Draper. She's cool and knows about professional success. Ask about career choices.

She is nice and helpful, super smart too. She lectures the entire time but will take comments and answers any questions you have. Tests are HARD but she grades fairly and has a curve. Pay attention in class OR read the book and you'll be fine. You'll work hard and read a lot, but you'll learn a lot and learn to think differntly after this.

Dr. Draper was great. She was very receptive to questions, extremely well-versed in the course material, and is always willing to help students. I don't understand why people think she's incredibly hard. Then again, college isn't meant for everybody. Tests are based on the assigned reading and on lecture. Focus on those - you'll be fine.

Professor Draper is a well accomplished teacher, she is a little boring sometimes and her reading her notes is a little irritating as well, but her films are interesting. She grades on a huge curve so if you study your readings you'll do just fine. I didn't study for my first midterm and got a B

She's a good prof.her lectures are very interesting as well as the videos.do the readings and you will be fine on her exams. You do have to do a few assigments but they are not hard. Take her she's good and you will learn

Talks a lot (nonstop talking sometimes...) and really quick. 2 exams, a take home essay or a research paper. She gives movie which relate to the lectures (all of them are quick fascinating). She gives extra credit. There is also a group presentation. Does expect you to know your stuff when coming to class.

One of my favorite professors so far at college. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to learn, and is willing to work. Their are two tests (midterm and final) and either three essays or a research paper. Attendance is mandatory for a good grade (note-taking is crucial anyway), and there is extra credit for coming to class and bringing books.

Draper's an amazing mind. Students rating professors poorly may do so because they don't like to concentrate and study hard, or are not interested in the subjects they select. Draper is a great professor with incredible knowledge in her fields, and she is willing to go out of her way to support students who want to learn. Why are you in school?

Professor Draper is one of the best teachers at CSULA. You gotta do the reading, come to class and THINK! I improved my writing, made a class presentation (even tho I'm shy), and understood hard professional readings. She was helpful with giving me and my friend career advice and our applications to law school and police academy (we both got in!!)

A great class on Environmental Policy, Law, Society. Dr. Draper is an expert and a passionate teacher. She is interesting and suportive. I don't usually like discussions but they are awesome in her class, on current events and the readings. I feel I have a chance to improve society. She helped me with career decisions. Be ready to work and learn!

Draper is the best prof I've had at this school, but you really have to do the reading, come to class, and speak up. This class opened my eyes about how people work in society. Dr. Draper is enthusiastic about teaching and pushes students to do their best. I upgraded my ambition to go for a profession not just a job. Hope to take her again.

Everyone Can pass her class you just need to listen, take good notes, and pay attention to everything she teaches.

Draper is a very hard teacher, but honestly one of the best classes i have ever taken. I was always interested during the lecture, she doesnt go over the readings which made attending the lecture mandetory. If you do not do the readings you will fail the midterm and final. If you take her be prepared to work and read a lot.

This professor is an amazing individual. She really cares about her students and their success. She expects us to learn (which is a given cause she's a professor) but she works with you and tries her best to help you succeed. I highly recommend her for everyone!

Prof Drapermight on of the most rigorous professors at CSULA, but her passion for student growth is beyond belief. She values education and the amount of liberation it holds for her students. She can be critical, but for means of constructive criticism. She held me accountable for getting into law school and excelling as an attorney.

Professor Draper was extremely knowledgeable about the environmental law. Her textbooks were thoughtfully selected and her exams were challenging. Further, Dr. Draper went above and beyond to ensure you did well in her class. I would definitely take another course with her if I had the opportunity.

Dr. Draper is passionate and c omitted to her students. Her knowledge of sociology and the world is incomparable and simply immpressive. Her teaching style is open n interactive for her students who love to share their own experiences in class. I highly respect her integrity n care of being the most erectile prof. Simply awsome. Changed my life!

Took her this summer 15' she's tough when it comes to the readings, she expects everyone to read before class. It is easy to loose interest so I suggest you read all readings, you should get an A. I got a B only because I was lazy to read. 3 papers 3 pages long, midterm and final multiple choice. Group project too. Deducts pts if you miss class

You get out what you put in. Definitely not an easy A if you don't do the readings or go to class (tests cover lectures and readings). T here are movies though which were a great refresher of reading/lecture concepts and very informative but maybe a little old in date. Really great to take if you have an interest in sociology and the environment.

Best professor I've ever had. Sets high standards and expectations but if you give her your all she will support you and help you in regards to her class as well as any future academic and career endeavors. She truly cares about her students as she guided me through applying to graduate school and wrote me an excellent letter of recommendation.

Great teacher. Totally knows her subjects and is passionate about helping us understnd them. Readings are normal, exams are fair. She gets the class involved in discussions and will talk more in her office if you want. I'm changing my major to Sociology. We discussed careers and ways to make society better, which I plan to do.

An outstanding professor. Has high academic standards and high expectations of her students. A professor who is going to push you to do your best work. Her expectations are matched by her devotion to students. She is extremely accessible outside of class and willing to spend time giving students detailed feedback on their work.

Dr. Draper is an amazing professor! She is extremely passionate and knowledgable about various areas of study. She has high expectations, but goes above and beyond to ensure that students understand the material and succeed academically. My advice? Take advantage of her office hours! She's an invaluable source regarding academics and careers.

Dr. Draper is an awesome teacher. She knows her field, degrees in sociology and law, and makes class fun while caring about teaching us a lot. Reading is serious but on target to be discussed in class. She gets students to know each other and participate, not sit like silent zombies (LOL). Prof. Draper advises about grad school choices too.

Great class. Take even if not Soc major. Brings to light how the law really operates Dr. Draper makes you question things you never considered. Must read Taking Sides and know textbook. She is easily the most caring and understanding prof I've ever had, and will hold you to your highest. You must work hard, but well worth the payoff.

I completed an honors thesis with Dr. Draper. Law&Society students should highly consider this (Grad school). She dedicates herself to you and will make you a better writer and thinker. She truly went above & beyond in supporting my project and guided me through every stage to ensure I was on the right track. She will challenge you to do your best.

Textbook is reviewed in class though I highly recommend taking notes. You must read and know the cases assigned in Taking Sides. 1 Group project is graded credit/no credit. Even if you understand the material Dr. Draper will teach you to analyze the law more critically. Great class. I worked hard and it paid off. I suggest optional research paper.

Professor Draper is willing to go out of her way to help her students succeed. Her feedback is amazing and will help you grow as a student. Her lectures will open your eyes to new perspectives that are life changing. She will encourage you to pursue a higher education and will be willing to help you with a smile.

Dr. Draper is a remarkable professor. Shes thoughtful, knowledgeable, supportive and works tirelessly to help students succeed. Ive taken 2 classes with her and I can honestly say that Im better for having done so.

Professor Draper teaches great courses, with a caring feeling for her students and a concern for future careers. She makes you want to do the work you NEED to do to move up in the world. You can tell that she wants to be in that classroom with so much energy, and talks about real events happening in the world off campus. Fair grader, smart lady.

One of the best professors i have ever had! Her class is super laid back, funny, and extremely intelligent . Her grading is not hard at all and she is super flexible with due dates. She goes above and beyond her duty to help others. I would definitely take her again.

I genuinely loved this professor. She really wants her students to do their best. One thing though I must say, keep up with the readings and take notes during the movies because they will show up in both the midterm and final. Also, keep the phones away, she does have a problem with phones, but come on guys, we spend hefty money for school!

This is by far the most confused I've ever been in a class while at CSULA. She is very nice but these topics can be very boring. you have to do a 30 minute group presentation. midterm, and 3 final essays three pages each.

Prof. Draper is one of the most supportive, flexible instructors that I've had at this school. She goes above and beyond to help students and teaches with such clarity and genuine empathy. This pandemic has been stressful for a lot of us; having an instructor as fair and caring as Dr. Draper makes this all so much easier. Highly recommend.

Interesting topics, awesome professor. Draper is definitely among the best of the sociology department faculty. Consistently fair grading and clear guidelines made this course one of my favorites. Exactly what a great college class should be.

I took an undergraduate directed study with Dr. Draper last fall. She is an excellent professor who listens to students' needs/goals and utilizes her skills to guide her student towards success. This course allowed me to explore any research topic that intrigued my personal interest and help me grow with much confidence. Recommend her class!

Dr. Draper is bright, positive, and so impressively intelligent. She strives to be each student's number one supporter and always does so with a smile and the utmost professionalism. The amount of growth and improvement students experience in her classes is truly amazing. If you want to do better and be better, Draper is the one to get you there.

Dr. Draper's Environmental Policy, Law, and Society class is great. She is well versed in her profession; she delivers clear and concise lectures, and she uses real-world examples. Even with all her credentials (Ph.D., J.D.) she is very much in touch with her students. She genuinely wants her students to succeed in and out of the classroom.

Professor Draper is a brilliant instructor; lectures are straightforward and enlightening. Shes also a very warm person; she is willing to work individually with students to help them achieve their goals. Clear communication of expectations and transparent grading. Environmental law, policy, and society course was awesome! Definitely recommended.

Professor Draper gives many hours a week for office hours. If you need anything from her, she will go out of her way to help you. However, she also expects her students to do the work. She works hard, and so must her students. The class discussions and material were insightful and thought-provoking. And she is especially knowledgeable about law.

Professor Draper is extremely organized and insightful. She always meets with students and tries to understand any situation they might have going on. The lectures are amazing and she lets students incorporate their thoughts and opinions. The people who gave her a low rating did not do the homework and missed class.

Tests are fair, based on readings and lectures, and not hard to foresee the questions. We got plenty of resources to help. Professor Draper is helpful, will discuss grad school! Great course!

A very well informed and caring teacher. Her subjects are useful for careers and she can help with advice about grad school and professions. The exams are challenging but fair, after good study prep she provides. She talks fast but always ready to explain and discuss. Knows sociology, law, and environment! One of the best.

Great introduction to interesting topics in sociology. Professor Draper cares about her students, is clear in teaching, fair in tests. I started this subject in community college but had to drop for work conflict. Here it was much more adult, focused on important social issues. Good class discussions, useful for my career. Impressive teacher!

Her approach is for no one to be left behind. I thought she was tough, but I realized her objective is to set you up to succeed in the real world. I improved my writing because of her willingness to help. She stresses the fact that hard work pays off. Great teacher, I became a better student after taking her class.

Professor Draper is very supportive of her students and is always willing to offer help and guidance with in class assignments or out of class with grad school/resume/career advice.

I am so glad I found this internship class. It helped me find a future career employer. I learned about writing a resume, making a better impression, and connecting my skills with my dream job. Professor Draper gave me great advice, helped me find the right internship, and made sure my internship was a good use of my time. Really helpful, thanks!

Prof. Draper's course is moderately difficult, but doable for even I who am an average student. Her lectures are very insightful and she offers extra credit assignments.

Dr. Draper is a wonderful professor. She has a considerable amount of insight and experience in her field and is always willing to assist her students with scholarships and internships. Although her class does take work, she has long office hours and provides valuable help and feedback.

This prof gets a bad rap sometimes but she's actually pretty decent. Expects a lot from students but if you show some effort and read super thoroughly you won't have a problem. I feel like if she modernized her teaching style with powerpoints and her lectures covered exactly what's on the tests students would do better in her class though.

She takes her job serious but she's nice and definitely knows her stuff. I did good in the class but some people struggled because most of her tests only cover what's in the readings. I would take her again, just wish she went over things related to test questions in class more or gave specific studyguides.

Professor Dr Draper is very knowledgeable in her field and encourages class participation. In this class, I read many things and watched videos. They gave me knowledge about stuff I did not know. week. Overall, it's straightforward and easy A, but prepare to work and read a lot. Read a lot! Tests are medium to hard but are graded on a curb.

This semester I decided to take sociology of law as an elective course.The workload is nothing out of the ordinary and if you do the readings, attend the zoom lectures and watch the films, you will receive a solid grade.
