you have to get over the "mmmmmkay" but if you can she's a pleasure. excellent prof.

She's one of the best profs ever. Very clear, good lectures, and a really nice lady! I would DEFINITELY take another class with her.

not bad. boring but ok

Best teacher I've had so far. She is not boring at all. In fact if you can do the readings(you are at mcgill!), go to class and put your effort into her class, you will do amazing! She explians everything and makes always had good lectures

Good teacher..

Best prof i have had so far. Very interesting and clear. Alot of readings, but all extremely interesting. Loved going to her class!

new at this, but a very ggod try. dfinately tries to support learning anvironment. die hard feminist so watch out ....

i have taken SOCI 247, 321 and 455 with weiner... she is very helpful when it comes to essay's... her reading load is a little heavy but all in all my favourite professor at mcgill, she's young and full of life and loves what she does so that makes a huge

In terms of the McGill-Professor Quality rating, she's definitely in the high 80's to low 90's. You really cannot go wrong with her, permitting you do a minimal amount of effort. Good to look at, clear, concise, and not that challenging. Even though she's a feminist, I know she needs a nice, young..

Well, I like her. I am a guy, and I ask more questions than anyone else in the class, and she answers me equaly... So I'd say she is cool. Just TOO MUCH reading... too much material for a 200 level course.

this is an extremely easy class for mcgill standards. she is clear in class, she gives you the terms needed to learn for the midterm and final. she gives you the essay q's she offers to read your essays in advance - she is passionate and well informed. take the class - easy A - provided you're awake

Very good prof and tries really hard to make an effort to make class interesting. Brings in tons of movies... Work and read all the readings you'll do just fine.

Course was pretty good and straightforward. Come to class, read the huge coursepack and you'll do fine. But she sometimes talks too fast!!

a seminar class with 20 people - awesome class! my favourite of the semester. she's really nice, and though there's lots of reading, it's worth taking the class because it's so interesting. food! movies! fun!

Most of the people complaining are just guys who are upset that she tells them "inconvenient facts." Professor Weiner provided us with good course content (reading and class time) and responded to any questions raised in a clear, forthright manner. One of the best in Soc at McGill.

Amazing, amazing, amazing! Definitely must take if you are interested in gender and work. Weiner is stimulating, interesting and it is actually fun to go to class. If you do your work, she rewards you. She is not a prof who tricks her students in exams like some at McGill. Trust me, take her class

great professor...i've taken her for a few classes and she is a lot better in smaller settings, but is pretty fair on all accounts.

Great prof, takes the time to know her students. She is extremely fair in her grading too. If you do the work necessary, she will reward you for it! Try to take all of her classes!

Amazing!!! Very helpful and stimulating. Take all of her classes, you will not be dissapointed. She is one of the very few profs at Mcgill that actually cares about her student's success. I sincerely am grateful to her.

She can go very fast! She's a good teacher overall but the course just didn't interest me.

Her multiple choice section on her exams are killer! Best to study thematic ideas and do well on the essay portion.

Excellent prof, best in the department! Can't wait to take another class with her

Funny and Engaging. I really enjoyed this couurse and Prof. Weiner made it enjoyable.

Very happy that I took her class!!!

Professor Weiner is incredible. Take her Class! You will not regret it! If you have a slight interest in sociology, you will enjoy her class =)

Her slides are not very helpful, so you have to attend class. The exams are pretty difficult and if you want a good grade you have to do the readings! Overall, she is a very good lecturer and keeps you interested with her anecdotes. The material is pretty good if you are interested in gender. It seemed the class avg was between a B and B+.

I've taken 2 classes with her and she is great. Clear, quick, witty, perfectly organized, interesting, very fair on exams, and readings (may be heavy) but are interesting and on point. She's just awesome and is available if you need her.

VERY nice and funny prof!! smart, clear and her class is very enjoyable. make sure you do ALL the readings.

Elaine is a very good prof. If you attend her lectures and complete the readings, you will do very well in the class. I would definitely take another course with her in the future.

Very clear, goes quick, evaluations are fair. I found that the readings are quite heavy for this course, and they are really really important for the evaluations. The T.A. was really nice and funny! In general, this course was enjoyable with Weiner.

Her exams were very tricky, especially her midterms. She asks a lot from the readings, so make sure to read. A hardcore feminist, and grades grammar in her essays, probably more than the content.

The teacher gives interesting lectures but speaks fast and the course is not recorded. The exams are fair but the readings are heavy. You must do the readings to pass with a good grade!

I had her family class and i really enjoyed it :) The readings where very heavy, but for the most part they were interesting. If you don't do the readings, the change of passing is very small but if you read them and take good notes, you will do fine. I've never had the most fun writing an essay for her speech assignment. If you can take her class

Prof. Weiner's lectures are so much fun. The topic is very interesting in the context of family life, and dating. Overall, I learnt a lot of interesting things that I can easily associate to my everyday life. Readings do appear on the exam, but TA was helpful during conferences and prepares you well. Multiple choice, short & long answers.

There are a lot of readings and you have to stay on top of them if you want to pass. Conferences help a lot to prepare for the exams so attend them. If you go to lectures, take good notes, do the readings, and go to conferences, it's a pretty easy A. Most challenging part was the paper IMO but if you're good at writing you'll be fine.

Amazing class; I love this prof! This is the second time I take her, and honestly her lectures are so good! I found she was pretty tough on grading though. Also, for previous commenter, there was plenty of articles from this decade! and this isn't a sexual diversity class; its on gender which is what it focuses on. Work hard, you'll be fine!

I really enjoyed SOCI 247 - it was really interesting and the prof Weiner was really intriguing. I found the structure of the class really enjoyable i.e. the conferences with the lectures and found the grading relatively easy. I would take this class again.

She's very kind. a bit heavy on essays but even if you don't do the readings, you can still get a decent grade.

From my experience, Prof. Weiner was accessible outside of class for any questions and was very accommodating given the circumstances of online learning. There were a fair amount of readings, which is to be expected in any arts course, but they were usually interesting and accessible, used to ground the lectures. Would take a class with her again.

First of all, this class has A LOT of reading, however it's an incredibly interesting one. Prof. Weiner is very engaging and passionate. She answers in-class questions to the best of her ability and explains clearly. The material is very interesting and the grading is fair and distributed over many assignments.

The readings are not too long and mostly very interesting. Technology is not allowed, good notes from lectures are key to doing well. You have to go to all the classes to do well. Grading on the short papers is harsh but the mid-term and final were very fair. Weiner is extremely smart and can be very funny. Highly recommend, great course.

Very passionate about her topic, has interactive and interesting lectures, and encourages discussing and sharing opinions in class. Accessible during office hours, gives good advice about assigments. Very tough grader though, if you're looking for an easy A this is not it

- Prof Weiner is very knowledgeable and accessible outside of class - The course is very reading-heavy, but the readings are very interesting - Lectures can feel disorganized, difficult to pinpoint what information is important - Lectures are not recorded, and slides that are posted lack a lot of the details talked about during class

I liked her lectures, I thought they were entertaining and interesting and her lecture style worked for me. The no technology in class is annoying, especially because lectures aren't recorded and her slides are basically just a few bullet points, get ready to write in class. Although I found her grading scheme fair. She comes off tough but isn't.

I genuinely love this professor. They're so good at teaching and so knowledgeable. Very accessible for office hours. I think I learned more from this course in 1 semester than my entire time at McGill.

This class is really eye-opening and I loved the teaching style of the prof. Readings are very important. It was one of the best classes I've taken at McGill.

SOCI247 was my fav lecture this semester. There was a lot of reading but most were very interesting. highly recommend this class for anyone interested in the social sciences, and especially for soci students. Note - no lecture recordings and handwritten notes only so attendance is mandatory to do well and be up to date on testable material

Amazing professor, wants to see her students do well, very accessible outside of class
