Really enjoyed her Soc. of Murder class. 1 of the 2 req books was terrible and there was a whole test based on it, but the other 2 tests were simple. Makes things easy to remember, very funny.

you just have to read the book and take notes in her class.keeping up with the book may be the hardest thing of all, but just do it and youll be fine.and there are practice quizzes on some site that she gives out.take them bc some are on the test.

Her classes are often humorous with anectodes that really don't go anywhere but still not too bad. Her tests are not that bad. I did not read two chapters that were on the test and just studied from the online guide and my notes and pulled nearly an A.

NOt hard at all. Study the online quizes, read and listen in lecture and you'll do fine. I only put in what I have to and I got a very high B. Lectures are funny and interesting - just make sure you go to class as she gives pop quizes for attendance.

She can be really funny sometimes. She may talk for longer than is necessary, but it helps that she gives real life situations in her class discussions. Her grad. asst. cuts class time when he is substituting for her.

This is a really nifty class. THe professor is really nice and funny, though some people may not get her humor. Test were a little hard, make sure you study and DO THE READINGS. She does put essays on her exams so be aware, not a slack class.

Tests are incredibly hard, but use the online tools and you will do ok. Papers are graded very tough. She gives short answer quizes for attendance (take them seriously cause they count for a lot). Good luck in her class

Nice lady, rambles a little but interesting. Show up for class, go to her office hours and do online quizzes and class will be cake. Tests are not bad and assignments are easy. Attendence policy/ grading sucks though.

Shes very clear: to get an A you have to read the book, take practice online quizes, and go to class. The subject matter is simplistic so its just a matter of taking the time to do all those things. Boring subject matter and time consuming but VERY EASY.

She does ramble a lot but her class isn't hard. Take notes and know concepts. Don't focus on just vocabulary.

Her test are directly from the book, but she uses alot of questions about specific things in class, so you need to attend every one. She goes off on tangents which makes the time go by faster. She grades hard on the papers.

Good teacher. Lectures aren't too boring. Tests can be a little difficult. It's the papers you have to watch out for. She grades rediculously hard on them, and is not real clear on what you are supposed to be writing in the first place.

she is probably the best professor i have had at ucf, and all of these other comments are crazy, take sociology of murder with her it was so interesting she has a great sense of humor and a great style of teaching, i recommend this class to everyone

I took her for sociology of murder and really enjoyed the class. She is witty and has a great sense of humor. I would totally take her again for other courses. Anyone who doesn’t like her is nuts!

She has a great sense of humor, actually keeps the class awake. Her tests are not that hard and she's always willing to help students with any problems they may have.

It's a general class, so it can't get any easier. Sitting closer towards the front I think helps since she does talk a lot and that is what the test are mostly based off of. She's has a have funny personality, and always helps.

She is a really easy teacher! As long as you can find someone in class to copy notes from you dont even have to go! Just read the chapters and do the sociologynow work and you'll do fine on the tests. She spends most of the class relating things to real life so its really interesting! I highly recommend it! It's very easy!!!!

This is an amazing class and an even more amazing teacher. Yes, her tests are challenging because you actually have to apply what you learn and not just spit out facts, but the material is fun and easy. Her lectures were a bit lenghty, but they prepare you for the tests.

Dr. Mustaine was pretty funny. Class wasn't torture to attend. The tests are kind of hard, but as long as you do SOciology Now and read the book, you should be fine. THe book isn't too terrible, sometimes it's redundant. Overall, not too bad, just alot of memorizing facts.

Dr. Mustaine is a great professor. She teaches the material in a non-brainnumbing way. It's not a fluff class, but if you actual WANT to learn, then it's a good class to take.

She makes class fun AND educational. Sit in the front row. Don't think her tests are difficult: use common sense. Do your homework and you'll be fine.

She is really approachable but WAY TOO many textbooks. She is the fairest of graders and always available for extra help. Funny and causual so the class is a relaxing environment.

I LOVE HER! she's the funniest teacher ive ever had! her tests are kind of hard and the essays are hard. but her lectures are hilarious. i actually brought my boyfreind to her class because shes that funny.

My favorite professor I've had yet and I'm in my sophomore year. She's hilarious and keeps class casual and interactive. I do wish she was clearer about what to do with papers and whatnot and I'm not big on the essay exams, but she's a great professor and makes class fun. The only class I looked forward to attending!

This was an enjoyable class - professor has a subtle and somewhat dry sense of humor that fit well with a heavy subject (victimology). All in all, a good, relaxed atmosphere, a reasonable amount of work and no hassles. A few too many books, but no other issues.

Took Online. Organized. Got an A (uses +/- system), though still unsure of what I was supposed to take from the class. She is very helpful, friendly & willing to help students, but no summary notes of chapters-- and her grading rubric is inconsistent as some students do great on assignments when others are graded poorly for the same level of work.

She is really nice. Her lectures are kind-of pointless to attend. Her tests are basically just definitions from the book. I hardly ever go to class and jsut read the chapters that are going to be on the test. Its an easy class, as long as you study a little.

Great professor who held her students accountable for their learning. Often provoked the class (in a good way) with thoughtful questions to force us to expand our horizons and understanding.

Great class. Dr. Mustaine is hilarious and the subject is so interesting. The tests can be hard (study the book, watch the movies for essays). Class isn't mandatory but the notes aren't online. In the end she exempt several students from the final exam and awarded them with As for doing well in the class! Take this class!

I took this class during the Summer with 3 other online class to finish up my Bachelors in Criminal Justice. I recommend taking this class when you have ALOT of time to study and not when your trying to take 3 other online classes. The modules weren't that hard and the writing assignments are graded fairly. Tests are VERY hard, so study up.

Took her for an Honors seminar (Violence in Societies). Material was relatively interesting, lots of in-class discussions, but the papers were crazy. Take-home exams, 4-5 essays each exam, ~5 pages per essay. 2 of these plus a ~20 pg critical literature review. Otherwise, not a bad class.

Loved her class!I took Sociology of Murder Spring 2010. She was hillarious and very interesting! Didn't have to take final if you were ok with your grade so far! Lectures are fun and entertaining! ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER and would recommend her to everyone! I'm also not one to brag about a class!

This was one of the best online courses I have taken. She clearly laid out her expectations the first week of class and they were dead on. If you read the chapters and participate in the discussions you will have no problem earning a good grade in this course. She actively participates in the discussions too, unlike other online courses.

I took her for a social problems class online. Very easy, there were 2 papers, 12 quizzes, and 2 tests (each with a short answer portion). They were graded very generously. Had to post a discussion on each chapter but over all the class wasnt hard. She's interactive over discussions and email. Good professor!

I really do not understand why or how Dr. Mustaine has negative reviews. It's all crap. She has clear expectations. Show up, take notes, read the book & you'll pass the exams, just like any other class. There's an optional paper. She's also really funny & has a sarcastic sense of humor; I laugh all class long. She's very clear & helpful.

AWESOME! I loved her class. She is so funny and makes sure that the class understands what is being discussed. This was definitely my favorite class of the semester!

Her class is very difficult.I took Women in Law and Social Change.Being a feminist I expected to already have a grasp on all the issues that women have and continue to face but her class was still eye opening.If you're a hard-working student take her class.If you're anything like me you don't want an easy A,you want one you can be proud of.

As long as you read the book and show up to/pay attention in class, it's really not that bad. If you have an A by the time the final comes around, she'll just give you the A without having to take the final.

Professor Mustaine is a really nice and will help during the discussion, however, this class has a lot of reading and work. Her grading was confusing but I would not recommend taking her class with three other classes. Not enough time is given on her tests to be able to get answers right. like others have written very subjective exam.

Although I found her class hard because of the extensive reading, she is very understanding and nice. You will need to purchase a book for this course.
