Great prof! Easy to talk to, always ready to help, makes the discussions lively and always lets you know exactly what you need to know for tests and how to do well on papers. Just don't walk in thinking its a easy A. You need to know the material and she expects you to know what you are talking about!

Prof. Bianchi knew her subject. The only thing bad about her class is she has a 100 point group project. If you are put in a bad group your grade would be bought down out of the A zone. Find another Prof. if you want an easy A. Also very unclear.

Very good professor. You do need to read the book, but the tests can be passed without. I received B's and higher on her tests and never touched the book once. She offers extra credit and her lectures are very easy to take notes from. Has a project at the end that is kind of difficult, but not too bad (just time consuming). Fun Class! Worth it!

Dr. Bianchi is a nice professor! However, she isn't often clear with her grading. For her discussion posts (which are due every week) she gives a one sentence description in the syllabus for what she expects. When she doesn't give the full credit for an assignment, she doesn't explain why. She is nice though and puts smiley faces in her emails!

Dr. Bianchi was overall a decent professor. She isn't very clear in the grading criteria and I feel as if she was somewhat biased when it came to grading the discussions (one due every week). There was one 5 page book report due towards the end of the semester on one of the books she listed. She did not grade mine tough considering I got a 100.

Prof. Bianchi is a nice prof. and organized in her course setup. Every week you do a module which consists of reading a chapter (best to skim) and viewing the links she provides followed by a discussion posting (250 words + 2 replies). You must try for the discussions to earn full 20 points. 3 exams, not too bad. 1 book review 5pg. Hard work A

This class was enjoyable for me! Professor Bianchi is as flexible as you need her to be. Towards the beginning of the semester, I was in contact with her and towards the end her class was more independent and self paced. Assignments aren't hard because they are discussion posts and shes clear about grading! Neither are exams if you prepare!

I took the class online, so we didn't meet in person, but she seems very nice. Online class was easy imo, however, you won't get away with short little discussion posts. Discussion posts based on the book were the main assignments, and sometimes they would take a while because I needed to watch a documentary or another long video.

Professor Bianchi was my favorite teacher this semester! She is very caring and class is very interactive and fun. You have a one page paper to write around every week or so and then a group project at the end of the semester as your final (on the topic you choose). I would definitely take her again if I could!

I took this professor in the Summer A Term in 2022, even though it was Six Weeks Lol.... I am currently taking her in SYG2000 for the Spring 2023 Semester and I gotta say this, She is the absoutely most nicest Sociology Professor I have ever met and in my life, and this is my last time I will ever take her again... I will miss her very much.

Professor Bianchi was one of the best professors I have taken while at SF. I had her for SYG2000, we had a weekly discussion and one paper over the whole semester. Overall, her class is easy but make sure to be detailed in the discussion posts, she does assign various long documentaries that you do have to watch for the discussions.

Professor was very sweet and the assignments were informative. Assignments are pretty lengthy, but it is manageable. One essay to write, but you have pretty much until the end of the semester to complete it. I would definitely take another course from her.

Really enjoyed Professor Bianchi and her class. You can tell she cares about her students and wants them to succeed. Simple assignments with plenty of time to do them. Material was interesting and easy to understand. She's quick to respond outside of class and was always super nice and accommodating. Definitely recommend her for this class!

Professor Bianchi made this class in such a great way. I loved the way that the class is structured and I actually got to learn about so many perspectives when it comes to love. This class is made for people who are willing to learn and become educated on topics such as sexuality, etc. Definitely would take again! A lot of writing but manageable.

Doesn't focus on mainstream sociology, is only interested in pushing her politics on you. Assignments are not open ended. Questions are designed so you regurgitate opinions she has back. Nobody in class participates because they don't feel other views are welcome. Class is frankly insufferable.

take all online - so easy. One discussion post a week due thursday with 2 replies to classmates due the next monday. Had 2 exams taken at home without honorlock. Free textbook but barely used. Had 3 "Week Reflections" - it was just roughly a paragraph like the discussion just submitted pdf form. Easy grader and doesn't answer emails very quick.

This class was great! Dr. Bianchi's online class consists of weekly discussion posts, 3 reflections (which are short), 3 easy tests, and 1 manageable project. She doesn't "shove" politics down your throat like other people claimed. She uses material from experts. Also, she is flexible with deadlines if you have health issues and reach out to her.

Professor Bianchi is one of the best professors I have had. She is caring and understanding of the students and is not only focused on giving assignments and teaching, but she is always checking up on the students and involved. There is minimal work besides reading the chapters for each weeks lectures and an end of year project. Would recommend.

Professor Bianchi was a great professor. The class is mostly discussions with the occasional quiz and one major project, but the project allows for a lot of freedom in choosing a topic and the type of project you'd like to submit. She was very nice and had lots of office hours.

Dr. Bianchi was an awesome professor, I don't know why anyone would give her less than 4 stars. . Being an older student who wasn't used to online courses, she was very forgiving and worked with me the first couple of weeks to help me get use to online classes. I would take her again if I needed to.

Awesome professor, very sweet and care about her students and your success. I got a D ultimately because I did all the assignments but didn't submit the very last one which was a project. If I had I would've gotten an A. Not her fault at all, her class was interesting and the work was nothing to stress about if you put in the effort.

I cannot accentuate the tag "Tough Grader" enough! Please do not take this professor if you have any hopes of receiving a DESERVED grade with helpful, constructive, respectful criticism, because all this professor will do is disappoint you! Please don't be fooled by the positive reviews, because I know I was, and I regret it.
