She complains about her life and how it is so hard and what she has gone through and doesn't ask about the issues her students go through. She makes her students feel like idiots when they ask/answer questions. I couldn't stand class with her, I have had to hold back my anger because I just wanted to yell at her. But she's hot.

I've never felt more stupid in a class before. I asked a question once and she literally laughed... she teaches as if she is showing off how much she knows and not actually wanting to help anybody understand the material. Just don't take this class.

Professor Erin's class is primarily lecture with a large class size. She is extremely critical of technology. For example, if you have your phone/computer out it is an automatic withdrawal/fail. So if you are a computer note taker, stay away. Overall, this class feels like a freshman nanny state and I would not take it again.

She's honestly pretty rude and not a good teacher.

If you disagree with her, keep it to yourself. If you have a question, don't ask it unless it gives her a chance to show off/talk about herself in her answer. Some students would ask questions and she would just stare at them for a second and move on with the class - or she would LAUGH. All she does is lecture, you can't use a laptop, DON'T BE LATE

DO NOT TAKE. So much homework. at least 2-3 pages worth of long answers due for each class. averages about 30 pages of reading for every class. almost impossible to handle this amount of workload with other classes. Not good at explaining. Thinks she is always right and if you do not think the same way then you are wrong. Again, avoid this class.

I would never take her FYS class again. she's very one-sided. don't show opposing views or you'll get scorned. don't talk about yourself because she'll one-up you every time. don't miss class or she'll hate you. impossible to make an A. you couldn't pay me to take it again. so much hw, & if she doesn't like your work you don't get credit. TERRIBLE.

Putting it simply - just don't take her class. It was the hardest class of my first semester and made it almost impossible to finish work for other classes. She seems like a good person but takes all her problems out on the students. She can be extremely rude and unforgiving no matter your situation. If you want a hard semester, take her class.

The absolute worst class I have ever taken. By far the hardest of all FYS seminar classes and can easily wreck your first semester. This class ruined my introduction to Belmont. The workload is simply insane and extremely unrealistic for a first semester student.

If you want to hear her complain about all her life problems, have ridiculous amounts of work, and be told that you need to contribute more to class discussions when all she does is talk, then take this class. She is rude and will find a problem with anything you write. Save yourself from misery and don't take her for seminar. peace and love.

Dr. Pryor was the hardest thing about this class. She has a very difficult personality and while I can usually get along with people with a dry and cynical sense of humor, Dr. Pryor crossed the line and is just plain rude. You can do well if you spend hours studying but dealing with her is not worth it. DO NOT TAKE if you don't have to.

I got a decent grade so this is truly about her: She missed several classes were always incredibly unorganized. Her whole fys class is based on her own political views and if you don't align yourself with her worldview, she shuts you down. Offered no help for our research papers and then got mad when we didn't follow the exact directions. Bad

The materials for this class were not particularly difficult; however, Dr. Pryor made this class difficult. The course was very unorganized, and she missed several class sessions. I found it difficult to prepare for a seminar based class when the professor didn't offer much insight other than her own opinions.

Dr. Pryor is extremely unorganized and unprofessional. She is always late. She uses dry humor but most of the time she is just rude. She jumps into lecture like you are already a pro on the topic and overly complicates sociology. The book is 12x more interesting and will teach you more. If you like sociology do not take her class.

I have a minor in sociology and was genuinely trying to understand intro to sociology; she made it extremely difficult to understand the content. I feel that she needs to update her lecture- it is very unorganized and hard to understand- she mentioned she hasnt updated her lecture notes since she started teaching.

Do not take her FYS class. I had an extremely hard time understanding her as she was unorganized and unprofessional. Aside from that, her FYS class is revolved around her political views and I couldn't handle the sort of conversation her and other students had that I would deem unnecessary. Yes I failed, but really it was because I hated that class

Came into FYS class expecting to have lots of good discussions, but the one time I brought up an opposing viewpoint, I got scorned for it. We hardly had any discussions, and she talks the whole time in circles from one viewpoint. Not too much work if you time manage well, but definitely wouldn't recommend if you want to actually learn things.

Dr. Pryor is not a good teacher. I highly dont recommend her class. She always cancels class and assigns a lot of papers

Dr. Pryor is definitely not the worst professor ive ever had, but she tends to get off topic a lot. She also does not have any slideshows and you aren't allowed to use technology in class at all. She will just lecture the whole class period and expect you to take notes. It can be a hard class to sit thru , but I get that its a hard subject to teach

Never take SOC with Dr Pryor. She's terrible at grading, she lectures in class the Entire time, and she is not very reachable outside of class. Plus there is no technology allowed, so if you are a laptop note-taker, good luck.

I didn't like Dr. Pryor. The class was lecture based with no slides and no technology allowed. She expects you to write down and understand every detail and is condescending when you ask her to repeat. She's a passionate woman, just not a good teacher for our generation. I was very excited for Sociology, but ended up getting nothing out of it.

Dr. Prior's lectures make zero sense whatsoever and I think every person in my class would agree to this. She seems to know what she is talking about, but her lectures are all over the place I could barely take a single note. Her tests are multiple choice and so hard.

Do. not. take. this. class. with. her. There's very little material that gets graded. It sounds nice but she grades so hard so my grade took a beating. Her lectures are just her rambling-off notes she wrote in this notebook. There is no PowerPointz\s or technology. It made it extremely hard to take notes. She knows what she's talking about tho.

Be prepared to sit and listen to her talk for the ENTIRETY of the class. That's all this class is. She just repeats what she makes us read, and rambles through her lectures. She does not grade in a timely manner. Does not allow any use of technology in her class - ie cannot even have a phone or laptop sitting on the desk. Frequently late to class.

She lectures with no powerpoint + no tech allowed in class despite having an online-only textbook. She constantly cancels, is impossible to reach by email and never in her office, and her lectures are extremely long with no clear point and extremely circular vocab/words that could be more easily described if she just used powerpoints/materials.

DO NOT TAKE!!!! Showed up late every class and expected us to stay late. She also talked about the same thing every time. Her test wasn't really what she talked about in class. No class participation. Honestly just feel that she didn't even know she was still talking at some points.

I was in this class for two meetings before dropping I went into it open minded (despite her previous reviews) and yet was appalled at the general disrespect she showed towards her students. She was rude in answering questions and often bragged about the difficulty of her class. I advise any class but hers. Maybe it got better later on. Who knows.

All she does is ramble. The students didn't even get to introducing ourselves until the 3rd class. Keep in mind, the class was an hour and 15 minutes. FYS is a very discussion based class but it's unlikely that anyone in a discussion with her will ever be able to get a word out. Seriously. Do NOT take.

She's a lot. work load-wise and personality-wise, she is a lot. Good Luck

I have been in this class for two months and we're two weeks behind. She's late to almost every lecture, and she spends half of the class on unrelated tangents or personal anecdotes which is why we are behind. I'm two months into the class and she hasn't graded anything, and there are very few assignments to take. Would have dropped if possible.

She loves the sound of her own voice. And she repeat's the same thing over and over again getting nowhere. At least she is passionate about what she teaches.

I've never felt the need to warn people about a professor - DO NOT TAKE PRYORS CLASS. If you need to fill a humanities credit, take anything else. She's rude and disrespectful of student's time inside and outside of class. She goes on tangents and her lectures are horribly confusing, and she talks more about her personal life than sociology.

Lectures are hard to follow, 95% of the class is lost, sleep, or look annoyed during lectures. 2 weeks left in the semester & I have 4 assignments graded. Her canvas organization is messy. She doesn't allow the use of phones or even electronic note taking in her class. She is late to class 100% of the time. We have been behind the whole semester.

Frequently late, gets off topic, very unorganized lecture structures that are hard to follow, canvas is unorganized. She is over a month behind on grades for some assignments. She also gives no feedback so I don't know how to improve my grades.

I had her last semester. I left every class annoyed but relieved. Worst teacher I have ever had. Worst material ever.

She doesn't answer emails and her lectures are long and frequently just her getting off topic or repeating the same thing over and over. terrible class.

DO NOT TAKE HER I REPEAT DO NOT TAKE HER! I truly do not have enough horrible things to say about this class. Her lectures are incredibly difficult to follow and I leave class hating my life. I have never struggled in a class like this before and am hoping I pass.Please do yourself a favor and stay far far away from her to save yourself the agony.
