LOVED THIS CLASS! AMAZING TEACHER, I LOVE HER :)
What everybody else said. She's GREAT. Best professor i've had so far. Fun, funny, and knows her stuff. Textbook isnt needed. Just print the stories from a friend's book. Tests are pretty easy. Gives extra credit. What more could u ask for? Wonderful, take her!
Gina is an amazing teacher She is so funny. I did not miss a day of her class only because she made it so interesting to go. The only time you use the book is for reviews,but its good to have around AMAZING teacher, great personality, and super funny. the class is surrounded by 3 tests and thats it. but if you study you do perfectly fine. TAKE HER!
Just read the rest of the comments below. I don't think there's anything left to said. Best professor ever, hands down.
Gina is by far one of the best professors at FAU. I highly reccomend her. She actually cares about her class and I have never gotten bored. She tells so many funny stories that sometimes you forget that you are in class!
Took Gina for Human Sexuality and it was super easy. Attendance is not mandatory but she takes attendance on a random day. she gives clear instructions as to what is on the exams. 3 exams,1 power point presentation and that's all. Makes class very interesting. Nothing more to see than take her!!!
Gina is AMAZING! If you don't take her when you have the chance you're crazy! She is always sure not to offend anyone and tells so many stories to get her point across about the lesson and makes sure everyone understands. She's always willing to help, too! I got a B- in the class because I didn't pay attention at first, too busy studying for A&P :/
best teacher i ever had! interested in the subject, help out every student, and is a very nice lady and funny!! easy A!
Absolutely amazing teacher!!!! From day 1 has kept class entertaining even if the actual material is boring. She is full of hilarious stories that make learning easier and coming to class worth it. I actually look forward to class!! She has made me consider having sociology as a double major..DEFINITELY TAKE HER!
SHE IS THE BEST TEACHER. I have no interest in sociology but she made it amazing! One of the best teachers I ever had in my life. I love her and would take her class anyday!!!! Tests are easy as long as you study exactly what she gives you on the review. SHE IS THE BEST.
Gina is an amazing professor! Definitely recommend taking her class... She's very smart and can hold the attention of her class. One of the best teachers at FAU! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
AMAAAAAAAAZING teacher. very sweet and funny as well.test are easy due to her study guides she gives. never bought the context reader since you can find the articles online.. definitely take this course...with GINA!
Amazing teacher. Explains everything in her own words and encourages class discussion. Shares personal experiences. Genuinely likes teaching and cares about her students and people in general. Tests and assignments are really straight forward! I learned a lot from her.
This woman is amazing. She is the sweetest person ever, super goofy and funny, and I love the way we take notes. She has structured outlines for her notes that you fill in in class, and the TA exam review sessions tell you exactly what to study for the test. She even gives some test questions like "What is my name?" and puts a smiley next to it.
Awesome teacher. She's nice and cares about every student. Only some readings in the textbook right before tests. Goes over everything thoroughly and makes sure the student understands. Literally the best teacher I've had at FAU.
Absolutely fabulous! Everything is clear and thoroughly explained. She's super nice and tells great stories to help understand the material. She's one of the best out there and I highly recommend her!
AMAZING! If you get the chance, take ANY class with her. She is kind and understands what's important and what's not. She's realistic and funny. One of the most down-to-Earth people, probably THE MOST down-to-Earth prof. RECOMEND!!!!!
Best Class Ever, entirely because of her. She's knowledgeable and funny. It's not even a question of if class is mandatory because at 9:30a.m. you'll WANT to go to class to hear her stories and see her antics. She's hilarious and entertaining but SUPER informative. 3 tests, they're easy. TAKE HER!
Best teacher I have had at FAU. She is so passionate about Sociology. She has the best stories which make her class interesting. She really wants you to enjoy sociology rather than just learn it. She's beyond crazy and absolutely hilarious! TAKE HER!!!!
I took Sociological Perspectives with Gina in the summer. Gina is one of the best professors at FAU. This class is an easy A. Take notes and attend every class. You do not need the textbooks if you do this. I never studied for the exams and I got an A. She gives away a couple free answers each of the exams. There is one easy required short paper.
She means very well, but her class is WAYYYYY too easy, she tells you exactly what to write down in your notes and repeats it at least 5 times. It feels as though I am taking a middle school level course.
Very easy class! NOT a boring class. Just copy down her very basic notes and read them before the tests. She only gives 3 exams. Extremely easy class!!
Literally the BEST professor at FAU! Tests are easy if you go to class. She really cares for her students and will do anything to make sure they pass. EASY EASY EASY EASY EASY EASYYYYY A
Best professor! LOVED her, she made the class easy and funny!
There should be a fan club for this lady. Her class is more like a show! she tells you just what to write (which is basic and common sense info) and spends half the class telling the best life stories and how they relate to the lesson. movies are also part of the class. read the context reader for easy brownie points on test. ENJOY THE CLASS :))))
Great teacher! Easy class if you pay attention and study which is not hard with the way she teaches. She makes sure she gets her point through and by the end of class you feel like you learned something every time! You will never be bored In her class she definitely keeps you up and enjoying the whole class. Take her class you won't regret it!
Gina is officially one of my favorite teachers. I loved Sociology class and her teaching style. She made the class interesting and fun, and her personality is awesome.
If you have the opportunity, take this course!! Gina is seriously one of the best if not the best professor at FAU. She makes this subject so interesting and believe me you'll want to come to this course. She's funny as crap and isn't afraid to touch on hard hitting topics and is not afraid to curse. If you go to class you'll get a B if not better
Very funny woman, made class interesting. Go to class for attendance and to get the notes! Easy class if you attend!
Amazing teacher! She truly cares about her students. She is very funny and her class is always enjoyable.
I had two classes with her in the A&L FLC and she really cares about her students. If you are having problems or need help she will do her best to accommodate. If she teaches a class you need, take her. I should have failed but she helped me out big time.
Such a great professor! No words can truly describe how awesome she is. Her teaching is crystal clear, as others have said she will repeat and go over what will be on the exam. One group presentation, and 3 exams make up your final grade. Such a great professor, I wish all professors used her method of teaching! You will alot in her class!!!
Gina is a great professor. She's friendly and adorable and cares very much about her students. She keeps you interested throughout the entire 3 hours. Her exams are very fair. Take Gina's class! :)
Every student at FAU should take her! Her class is always fun because she has the best stories to tell, and she's very funny! She has a passion for the class and really makes your eyes open on certain subjects. Easy class, if you don't love her, there's something wrong with you!!!
Gina is an AWESOME professor! She is so kind and thoughtful toward her students. You can tell that its not just a job for her, she LOVES what she does and it shows in her teaching. I have special accomidationa for testing etc and she was always so wonderful about it. Se would bend over backwards to help you succeed! take her class!
Amazing teacher! One of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Tells you EXACTLY what to know for the exam, not to mention she makes class super fun by using her own life examples to make you understand. You'll love going to class, and as long as you have the notes you'll get an A in the class. Def. recommend :)
She is AMAZING!!!! she is soooooo funny and caring for her students. Her class is so enjoyable the time flys! she loves her job and she is really good at teaching. she has 3 exams and you have to study but you will at least pass with a B :) she is amazing highly recommend :)
Best professor I've ever had. She's very clear and respects her students very much. Just come to the class and take notes. Do the study guide and you'll pass with flying colors.
She is hands down the BEST teacher every!!! She breaks things down and really makes sure that every student understands. She is really funny and she makes all of her classes really interesting. It is imposable to be bored in her class!! I would take any class with her! she is a wonderful professor! There is attendance but its only 2 or 3 times.
She is Awesome!!!!!!!!!! love her ! down to earth and funny. there is never a dull oment in her class and she very lenient and easy.
There is a reason why you have to register for her class first. She is amazing at what she does. there is never a dull moment in her classroom! i took one of her classes my freshman year and now my junior year sought another one of her classes. she should get a raise!
Gina is seriously the sweetest professor I've ever had. She is very nice and respectful and truly cares for student success. three exams, random attendance grade and sometimes a presentation. Easy A if you study her notes. She's very funny and makes class fun and understandable. She is a sweetheart, wish she taught ore classes!
I CANNOT explain in words how amazing Dr. Carreno is. She is not only the sweetest professor, but you can tell she has a passion for what she does. I have learned so much valuable information that I will take into my life that I did not know before this class. Fun class, very easy A if you study. She is BY FAR my favorite teacher I have EVER had!
THE ABSOLUTE BEST PROFESSOR AT FAU!!! Loved her class and her teaching style. EXTREMELY funny and helpful. Her lectures & stories keep you AWAKE and laughing. She relates what you're learning to hilarious stories from her past. Literally gives you what will be on the exams and all you have to do is memorize. TAKE HER! You will not be sorry!!!!!!!!!
What a kind woman, openminded, smart and witty. A must take class and professor.
Amazing!! Best teacher at FAU so sweet and funny. Very caring!

She's the best teacher I've had so far!
Phenomenal. Just fabulous in every way. LOVE HER TO PIECES!
She's amazing,
Best Professor at FAU, she makes everything really easy to understand. I didn't know anything about Sociology before I took this class. She truly cares for her students and she is hilarious. Take this class you will NOT be disappointed I promise.
I LOVED Gina! She made learning so much interesting and she takes the time to talk with you if you have any questions. She really cares about her students! you can tell she is not just there for a paycheck. Also, I take my tests in the testing center and I get extra time and she was very understanding and always very flexible.
Gina is the best professor I have ever taken! She is incredibly funny, and smart. She has the ability to make any class fun and interesting. Any class she teaches will be amazing!
Definitely recommend! One of the most caring, sweetest, and informative professors I have ever had!
By far one of the best professors I have ever had the opportunity of learning from. She is very easy, her exams match the reviews and there are a few video papers which are fun and easy. She likes to tell a lot of personal stories, which are entertaining and helpful. Take her, you will not regret it.
Such a great professor, tests are easy and she makes the class very easy. There's no way you can fail. Take her you won't regret it!!!!
she is awesome. if you are undergrad you need to take her at least once. NEVER a dull moment in her class. super respectful and always trying to help the students where she can.
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!! Her class was really easy and worth taking. She's the most caring, nicest, and informative professor I've ever had. She's always making jokes and telling stories and keeps your attention. Definitely worth taking!
GREAT TEACHER TAKE HER FOR HUMAN SEXUALITY & SOCIAL CHANGE- RANDOM ATTENDANCE, 2 EXAMS 3= FINAL EXAM IS OPEN BOOK/NOTES, AND A GROUP PRESENTATION EASY AND DURABLE CLASS NEVER A DULL MOMENT IN HER CLASS SHES IS HILARIOUS AND KEEPS EVERYONES ATTENTION THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE HOUR & 15 MINS :)
Gina is by far the best teacher at FAU! She genuinely cares about her students. She truly knows what she is talking about in her lectures. We had 3 tests which were pretty easy since she gives us study reviews and sessions. She has made me become more empathetic. Take her, you wont regret it :)
Gina is an awesome professor. She makes everything very understandable by telling personal stories and relating material to students lives. Definitely take her if you have the opportunity! You won't be sorry.
Gina is a great professor. She enjoys her job and loves what she does. She breaks down the in a way that you will understand the information. The test are super easy and she gives extra credit. Overall she is my favorite Professor.
Gina is a great professor w/a lot of knowledge. Here are the pros/cons of the class. Pros: easy 3 exams & 4 papers, not a hard grader (like for the group presentation), & she kept the class entertained. Cons: She doesn't lecture much (pro for some), group presentations, & leaving each class early (pro for some also). Overall a great class.
Gina was amazing. Even if you happen to miss one day of class you can easily pull out the information from the book using the outline. The exams are all an easy reflection of the study guide. All in all her quirkiness and relevant stories made the class both interesting and fun. If you fail, it is because you didn't complete the study guides:)
Gina is such an amazing instructor! She uses real-life experiences and stories to help reinforce the material and make it interesting. She is flawless! Her style of teaching is easy to understand and take notes from. My all-time favorite instructor. She presents the material in such a relevant fashion that it is so easy to understand. Take her!! :)
Gina is one of the best sociology professors ever! She will go off on tangents at times but they do connect to the lesson. Her papers are easy 100's and gives free test questions! I was never bored in her class and actually was excited to go each time! Be prepared to laugh hard sometimes!
Gina is the most engaging teacher I have had so far. Always kept the class engaged and the material is not hard. Plus she gives bonus questions on her tests. Can't say anything bad about her.
Gina was such an excellent professor! She was energetic, funny, clear, and really applied what we were learning to current times. If you go to class, take good notes, and study you are bound to get an A
She makes an already easy class even easier. You write 2 500 word essays and watch probably 4 videos. She does iClicker evey once in a while usually closer to test days. Test are extremely simple, but get the textbook because there are a couple things on the test that she doesn't talk about. ^_^ Great teacher. Take her!
TAKE HER!!!! this class would be hard if it wasn't for her. she is hilarious!! You will laugh atleast once each class. Shes super fun and easy! Essays are soooo easy ha did them in like 20 minutes. Take her I promise you will pass. Best and normal teacher at FAU by far
Gina is the best professor I have ever had. Class is not hard in the least as long as you attend. 2 papers, 4 exams, and 5 in-class exercises. She is an AWESOME professor who makes you want to come to class. She's the sweetest prof I've ever come in contact with. She's super understanding and will laugh, cry, or just simply listen to you. Easy A.
You won't regret taking her class! Very interesting and she tells the funniest stories. The class is easy as long as you show up to class! She's the best!!
She is seriously the best fau professor.. I rarely went to class and she let you make up any assignment you missed. Class is fun anyways with her crazy stories.. shes so nice and gives extra credit. only teacher at fau who WANTS you to succeed! TAKE HER!!!!!! Im probably going to get an A. Not to mention after every test you get candy (;

LOVE GINA!!!!!!!
TAKE THIS CLASS!! She is the best prof. I've had so far. She is so sweet and does whatever she can to keep her students interested. She puts all of the study guides online at the beginning of the semester so you know what will be on the test! Go to class and take the notes and you will have an easy A. I wish she taught more subjects!

Gina by far has been one of my favorite professors at FAU. She's simply blunt but knowledgeable about what she teaches and always gives her students things to think about. Her class is so easy and it's not hard to show up to any of her classes because she keeps them entertaining. Definitely recommend taking her for an easy grade and learning.
Probably one of the greatest teachers at FAU. I wish I could take her for every class.
I took Gina for Sociological Perspectives last semester. Gina is the greatest lecturing professor I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. More than once she had members of the class (myself included) in tears from her heartfelt & real-life examples of racism, poverty, etc. It wasn't uncommon for the class to give her an applause after the lecture.
Gina is one of, if not, the best professor at FAU. Take her class. Just do it. You will regret nothing.
Gina is the best professor I've had, EVER If she could teach all of my classes I would pass all of them with As. She's nice, helpful and explains the concepts very clearly. You actually learn and take an interest in the topics being discussed. She's very funny which makes the class more interesting. I definitely recommend taking her if you can.
Shes amazing. Take her class, regardless of what it is. You will love her. I've taken her twice and would take her again if she was teaching other courses.
I love Gina! Super laid back, and has a great teaching style. She does her best to appeal to each type of learning style. Her lectures are fantastic! She is informative, clear, and hilarious. Her class is generally pretty easy if you attend and do the work. Gina really cares for and loves her students, and makes sure everyone knows! Love her!
TAKE HER!!!!!! She is AMAZING!!!!!
Absolutely amazing professor. Take her class! You will not be disappointed. So interesting, and she is the sweetest professor. She is funny too.
Hilarious, passionate about her class and work, great teacher. Easy class. Would def take again
Your entire college experience will be better because you had the privilege of taking her class. She is the single most genuine and passionate teacher (no less college level professor) I have ever had, and taking her class will leave you wanting to be a better personfind any way to get back into her classroom ASAP :-).
If you have the chance to take gina, TAKE HER. You will not be disappointed. She is the best professor i have ever had. I wasn't really into the whole sociology thing, but she made me love it, in fact i'm switching my major because of her. She's very down to earth and tells hilarious stories, she makes class interesting and very easy.
Awesome teacher! She makes her lectures interesting and tells tons of stories to relate the topics of lecture. Plus she's really nice and is understanding about the homework. Oh and she gives study guides that cover everything on the tests! Definitely take her class!
She is the absolute best teacher I've ever heard. She's funny, helpful, and kind. She gives you lots of opportunities to pass her class and she's very understanding. I passed the class with an A.
Gina is by far the most amazing professor at FAU! She's really passionate about what she does, and it shows. Her lectures are very interesting, and she really makes learning fun. She really cares about her students. The only thing I didn't like was the group project, but it really wasn't that hard, and neither was the rest of the class.
The best professor you could ask for. She is truly their to help you in any way she can. She's funny and nice and you definitely learn a lot from her. Highly recommend her!!! :)
she is a sweetheart, no way around it. I wish i had tried harder, if you try, you will get an A
Gina is great. My favorite professor at FAU. Love her class. Recommend to everyone.
she is awesome! hilarious, easy to listen to, makes everything interesting and makes you think for yourself and view the world
She is by far the best professor I have taken while at FAU. She makes her lectures so interesting and she really cares about the students. You can really tell she loves her job. She is no ordinary professor. She goes out of her way to make sure you learn the material. I would love to take her again!! She is the best! Her tests are easy if you study
Gina is AMAZING! She is caring, helpful, easiest professor to talk to I have ever had, and I PLAN on taking another class with her. Her exams have a lot of information and its best to study ahead of time. Cramming wont work. If you do that and use the study guide she gives her exams are an easy A. Her stories are HILARIOUS. TAKE AGAIN
Best professor ever she makes everything clear and her tests are super easy all you have to do is really study the study guide
Gina was one of the most down to earth professors I've ever met, she's hilarious and kinda crazy but is a truly great person and professor. If you take sociology take her class. It's very easy and you really don't even have to show up but I always did because I genuinely enjoyed her lectures.
I want to befriend this professor like in real life. She was amazing. The best prof at FAU without a doubt. Sociology is already interesting but she just makes it way more fun. I enjoyed going to her class. In the syllabus it says attendance is mandatory but she only took attendance twice the whole semester. Do the online work and study the guides.
Gina is the best !! her lectures aren't boring because she always throws in stories to keep you up and interested. she's really nice and understanding. tests are easy if you do the study guides :) I would deff take her again !!
I will remember Gina for the rest of my college career. She is so passionate about what she teaches and is there for students at any time of the day. You will not regret taking her class. I wish there were more professors like her at FAU!
ACTUAL SWEETHEART. she is amazing!! just come to class and take notes. she gives you a study guide before the test and it basically tells you exactly whats on the test. she super funny and has the best stories!! makes lectures interesting, trust me I took her for at 8 AM and never missed a class. would definitely take again!
Gina's class is AMAZING. Her lectures are so interesting and she is so thorough and goes in depth with all of her topics and lectures. All of her tests are easy as long as you come to class and do the study guide. I would definitely take her again.
I would love to start a fan club for Gina. She does such a good job explaining material. All you need to do is go to class, use the outlines she posts, add more that she specifically goes over in lecture, and enjoy the lectures. She shows lots of vids, and there is one group project. You need to watch other groups for the exam, too. Loved her!!!
she is definitely one of the best professors i've had, i took her class at 8 in the morning and she's probably the only professor i could deal with that early. she curses a lot, which is the only thing that annoyed me, but she's very passionate about what she teaches. her class is an easy A, she doesn't take attendance, and she really cares about u
Absolutely amazing teacher, I wish she taught more courses. She's hilarious, you won't fall asleep in class because she's always making you laugh. Her assignments are very straightforward and only require paying attention to 2 movies. Exams are super simple, minimal reading needed. She does random attendance once in the semester for extra credit.
If you don't laugh at her jokes, don't worry, she'll laugh at them. Gina is the most personable teacher I've ever had. I wish she taught every sociology course at FAU. If you don't take her, you're missing out! One disclaimer: be prepared for an out-of-comfort zone presentation in Human Sexuality&Social Change. There are a few iffy topics.
My favorite professor at FAU!! She's so nice, a great instructor and really cares about her students!! I HIGHLY recommend her!!
Very funny, loves to relate examples to present-day society, super easy except the only annoying part is the Learnsmart, which is easy but a little tedious. Shows good videos and helps spoon feed info.
The best professor ever! I highly recommend her. Her lectures will never bore you and she is hilarious. She is very helpful and you can talk to her about almost anything. Her lectures are organized and clear and tests are pretty simple. There is one research paper but that's all. She says you need an iClicker but we used it once all semester.
Just amazing. She has made want at least a minor in sociology. She super funny and just amazing. No words can describe her
She is the coolest teacher ever! So hilarious, made me really interested in sociology! Im taking her again but for a different course. Attendance isnt mandatory , but she does lecture notes that prepare you for the exams, only 3 exams btw, super easy. LOVE HER.
I absolutely love Gina! She is great at her job and is a professor who cares for her students. She is hilarious and if I had the chance, I would definitely take another sociology class with her. She only gives three tests for the semester which are fairly easy as long as you pay attention and come to lecture. Highly recommend the class. LOVE HER!
THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD. she is so funny and passionate, she truly cares about what she teaches and she makes it interesting; not one boring class! only gives 3 exams they are insanley easy her lectures give you all the answers and youll love the class so much youll want to go. I am no minoring in sociology because of her.
Gina is amazing!!! I've never looked forward to a lecture as much as i look forward to hers. She's very personable and I have a smile on my face from start to finish. Tests are easy and there are only 3. Learnsmart can be really annoying since it's so time consuming. Definitely take this class if you can.
gina is the best professor at FAU, by far. she loves her students and doesn't treat them like another z number. she honestly cares, which is hard to find in a professor nowadays. you won't regret taking her class!
The best teacher ever!!!! She's very helpful and she loves her job. And she is very funny. Her personality is so beautiful as well. Just make sure you do your homework on time and show up to class because the notes she provides is a great study guide for the test. And her notes is not a PowerPoint so you have to be in class. But overall perfect.
Not only is Gina the best professor in the entire world, she's an amazing human being. Took her for human sexuality and soc perspectives, and she has definitely inspired me. Empathetic & actually CARES & understands the stress college students deal with, giving us guidance(study guides) & great lectures to keep us interested and involved. love U!!!
One word , AMAZING! Lectures are funny. Test are super easy.
Gina is amazing, she was my Sociology professor my 1st semester and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is HILARIOUS and is always there if you need her. Her tests are easy and se provides a study guide she teaches while typing the notes out for you to copy. By the end of the semester you will basically know her whole family.
Gina is an amazing teacher. Her lectures weren't too long and she made every single class entertaining. There's assignments due every week for Learn Smart and one research paper. The work load isn't bad at all. I loved her class so much. I'd take it again in a heart beat
Covers about 14 chapters, 3 videos, 1 bs research paper, and homework assignments for each chapter. This class was intended to ease students into college and is essentially useless as it serves as a forum for social issues. Uses Iclickers once and decides to ramble to help "exemplify" sociological concepts.
awesome teacher. she was so much fun!! her stories are so funny and relevant to the material which made the lecture super interesting to learn
Best teacher ever.
She's awesome!! Super energetic which helps to draw you in to her lecture and learn. Easy to pass. Just have to take notes and study off of them.. Online HW helps too.. Take notes, study them and show up to get an A, I did.
Such a great professor!! Super funny and keeps the lecture really interesting. Has really funny stories and examples which helps you remember the material. The tests are really easy the only thing I hate is the online homework but you Could literally knock it out in under 20 minutes. She takes attendance rarely but when she does you better be there
She's pretty funny and always keeps your attention! Easy homework but will never respond to emails.
Gina is an amazing professor! Class is not mandatory but you will want to go. She is hilarious and relates sociology really well onto all of her students. She is super passionate and it is a really easy class if you do the work!
BEST PROFESSOR EVER!!!
This was by far one of my most interesting, more informative, and favorite classes of my undergraduate career. Gina is an amazing professor (yes she goes by her first name). Everyone should take her human sexuality class before graduating. She is kind and provides warnings of possible triggers for people and is understanding of different views.
The nicest, and funniest professor I've ever had. She really cares about what all of her students have to say, and always gives good feedback. I really enjoyed coming to this class, and would definitely recommend everyone to take it. I learned so much that I will be able to take with me, and use in the future.

She is amazing. Truly cares about her students. Class is straightforward.
She is so incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really gives you a different (in the most fantastic way possible) outlook on life.
This is honestly the nicest lady you will ever have! All professors need to be as funny and connected with the classes as she is. Her assignments are very simple and you can finish all of the courses assignments in a month if you wanted to. She is the best! Easy A.
I LOVE GINA! so far my favorite EVER, shes amazing, so kind and funny. she explains the material so well and makes it so interesting to learn. i love this class because of her, take her for sure
Gina is the best professor I have ever had. She is an amazing teacher and person! She really genuinely loves her job. She puts everything into "Gina language" like she says to make the material easier to understand. She implements many learning techniques while teaching so everyone can fully grasp the material in class so minimal studying is needed
Gina is super caring and she's the best professor I had during this semester. the work is easy and just stay on top of everything! She loves her job and is always willing to help
3 exams and the last one is the final and one paper to write that wasn't even read. She's so sweet and cares about her students, lectures are interesting but you don't have to pay attention to pass just take notes and do online hw
Gina's classes are fun and engaging. One group presentation that is moderately easy and some papers that can easily be done well if you follow instructions. Gives straightforward study guides that go perfectly with her exams that are a walk in the park if you study. Super nice and understanding teacher that I definitely would take again.
GINA is AWESOME!!! she is a great teacher! Probably my favorite professor at FAU in all my classes that i have taken here. She really cares about her students. GO TO OFFICE HOURS! she will help you with anything you need in the course. I went from having a D on first exam to A on the second and third exam. Homework is time consuming. She's awesome
Gina is an amazing professor. Her lectures are funny and extremely interesting. She makes you want to come to class. Gina makes the information simple and easy to remember. Her exams are straight forward and she gives you a study guide. If you put in some effort, should be able to get an easy A.
best teacher ever. don't think twice you have to take this class it even easier than psychology
One of the best teachers for sure. Her lectures are great, she is caring. An easy A for sure. Class is not mandatory, but I promise you'll want to go. Gina very willing to work with you on grades. She is definitely the best choice for a professor.
Gina is an amazing teacher. Super easy to pass her class. The material is very mind opening, I would take her again in a minute. One 7 page essay graded by the TA's and connects, pretty easy. You do not want to miss a lecture.
Gina was the best professor I have ever had. Inside and outside of the class, she is always there for her students and no matter who you are, she respects each and every one of her students. Her lectures are phenomenal and the stories she shares are great ways of remembering terminology in her Sociology classes. I definitely recommend having her.
Gina made you want to show up to class because you never knew what to expect - in the good way. She was always there to make her students laugh. She had each student present a chapter from the textbook, but it wasn't high pressure and as long as that student did their work, it was an easy A.
SHES AWESOME! PLEASE TAKE HER!!! SHE IS THE BEST
Gina is an awesome professor. Can she teach ALL FAU classes, please?? or more sociology classes :( When you come to class you actually learn the material as you are listening to what she is lecturing about. Coming to class was a pleasure for me! There are 2 papers, a presentation, 3 exams and 5% attendance in this class.
Gina was the BEST professor I've ever had,she is very understanding and gives many opportunities to do well. Her lectures are thought provoking, interesting and make it so that you actually learn. I actually looked forward to going to class and felt she actually cared about me.
Best professor i've ever had. Never thought I would say this but I was actually excited for her classes. She's hilarious and I learned so much from her. Take her class, doesn't matter your major, you won't regret it!!!
Gina is amazing! She is the most loving professor I've ever had and she sincerely cares about her students. She is passionate about what she teaches and goes beyond the textbook. You must purchase the online textbook to complete Connect assignments. There are only 3 exams and she gives a very detailed study guide.
This class gives you and new outlook on life. Gina is a professor who really cares about her students, you can tell she enjoys teaching. All tests are based off of her lectures so you should go, although attendance is not mandatory, going to class is easy because she makes them fun. She's hilarious!
By the end of the semester, Gina seemed more like a friend than professor. Gina made every lecture entertaining and fun, while being able to learn the material. No professor will ever compare to her, she's the best!
I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy taking a sociology class, but she teaches well. Her lectures are very attention-grabbing and she's aware of the boring things she teaches so she tries to make it interesting. She is willing to talk in her office hours about many things. I'm taking sociological perspectives and I'm having a blast with her.
Gina is one of the best professors. She truly cares and makes everything interesting. Her stories are hilarious and makes you enjoy class. Gina wants you to pass and learn. I would take Gina again for any class!
Gina is amazing. She is funny, nice, and very understanding. She explains the material so well and her exams are whatever she goes over in class. She has study guides for every exam which pretty much are her notes. She will tell you what you need to know from the book. She's there if you need her for anything (personal issues, etc). AMAZING PERSON!
Fabulous instructor. Knows her stuff and teaches it well. Quite a bit of reading and work, but very clear in the study guides and instructions. VERY accessible-even in a class with 90 or so. Really cares about her students.
Gina is the absolute best! She makes sure you understand what she's teaching. She's very nice and understands if an issue comes up and she'll help you if for you can't keep up with what's going on. She's very understanding. She breaks things down thoroughly and the class is very interesting and easy to keep track. I'd definitely take her again!
Gina is an amazing Professor. She makes this class idiot proof, literally there is no way one can receive a grade lower than a B. She outlines everything from notes, to study guides. She makes this class enjoyable, and shes really down to earth. Make sure you do ALL the learnsmarts don't slip up.
very cool and laid back. You don't need the textbook or have to show up in the beginning. You must go to class for the student presentations.
The best professor I could ever ask for!! Gina made going all the way to Boca for an hour and a half worth it. She is an amazing professor, lecturer, and person. Her daughter is also just too adorable. She makes her tests fun and has study guides to help you learn.
Gina is a fantastic professor. She also made the material SUPER easy to understand and gave real life examples for literally everything we learned. She also interjected humor whenever possible (99% of the time).
Gina is by far one of the best professors I've ever had, she truly cares for all of her students and she's super funny! She makes note taking easy and her lectures are fun and easy to follow. I'd definitely take her again
One of the best lecturers I've ever had. Made class hilarious, understanding, and the tests were easy as long as you studied (lots of freebies, which is amazing). She truly cares about her students, and is extremely passionate on the topic she teaches which is evident and makes you want to pay attention. Absolutely amazing. TAKE HER.
BEST. PROFESSOR. EVER but unfortunately has the WORST. TA. EVER. Professor Lukasik is amazing, hilarious, kind and knows her stuff. I've never laughed so much in a class and never loved a professor so much. There are 2 important essays that her TA grades, she will make your life a living hell. I never want to take a class with that TA again.
Ginnnaaa! Honestly one of the best professors i have ever had / will every have! She makes the class very enjoyable and she genuinely cares for her students, if you go to class and participate which honestly she makes it so easy to do that! For the tests they are very conceptual which is what threw me off but do the homework and it will be easy!
The class was very fun and the material was interesting to learn especially the documentaries she showed us. HOWEVER, the exams in my opinion were tricky. The first one was closed book I aced it but the second one was open notes but it was very tricky and yes my grade reflected how tricky the exam was. Which brought my grade down from an A to B+ .
LOVE GINA!!!! Best professor I've had/ will ever have at FAU. Truly cares about her students and makes class enjoyable. Wish I could take her every semester!
Never fell asleep during one of her lectures, she is amazing and all around wonderful!!! Here stories really drive home the information. The best professor I have had by far!
BEST PROFESSOR!! Gina is the nicest woman and the funniest professor! She tells the best stories to relate the material with real life experiences. She is hilarious and always keeps you entertained. I wish I could have her every semester!! Take her class, you won't regret it (:
Awesome teacher. Funny and interactive classes. Gives study guide for exams.
I literally want to take all her classes!! She uses learnsmart which is super easy to finish, a research paper which is an easy A and exams with study guides... she really loves teaching and attendance is not really necessary but she makes you want to go to her class so interesting! She really connects with students
She is the best sociology teacher I ever had. Took her just because i needed a class and end up liking it. She is open minded and Help her student a lot, Take herrrr
Take her.
Gina was one of the best teachers I have ever and probably will ever have. Her lectures and humor made me want to come to class. She was so caring for all of her students and made sure we all knew she was there for us. The study guides were short and direct version of the test. The tests were easy and she gave a lot of freebees :)
Gina is the best professor!! Amazing and hilarious lectures & such a caring person. Go to class, I promise its worth it and Gina is so entertaining. There are only 3 tests (1 is the final), 1 research essay (pretty easy), and Learnsmarts, which are also pretty quick and easy. Tests are mostly easy too, take notes!!
I absolutely loved her. She is amazing and deserves a perfect rating. She is the best professor I've had at FAU! She is very funny and a great lecturer. If you listen to her in class you will do extremely well on the tests. She makes you want to come to class and you will definitely learn. She's overall just a dream of a professor.
This is the only professor I will ever take for Sociology classes. She is a GREAT lecturer, she's funny & can relate the material for students to understand it perfectly. She's very sweet but do not study the study guides. They dont help. Practice the material on the power points, she gives bonus questions on tests & class discussions are the best
Best teacher i have ever had. Great teaching style. She makes you comfortable and makes you laugh in almost every lecture. She pours her heart out, loves to teach and you can tell. Best teacher i have EVER had.
This professor is amazing. I took both courses she taught and loved both.
Gina is genuinely one of the funniest and caring professors ever. She wants you to succeed and makes it easy for you to do so. She's also super understanding, though I love going to her class, if I ever feel stressed and need a break, she's understanding of it, but on the bonus side, attendance isn't really mandatory. I switched majors cause of her
Gina's an amazing teacher and I would definitely take her again. she is super informative and if you use her study guides to study for the exam you will pass
She's a wonderful professor! When she explains a topic, she relates it to a real fact, what made me easily understand everything. She is a caring and funny professor. I loved when she used to tell us facts about her life relating them to the topics because most of them were funny. She gives study guides for every exam, and that is really helpful.
Gina is a very kind and easy going professor. Just do your group project and the occasional essay and its easy. Exams literally have questions telling you to put A as a freebie. She grades for attendance but she never checks attendance and gives you the points. If you're not convinced at this point, IDK what to tell ya.
Gina is my favorite professor at FAU. You won't regret taking her class!
BEST TEACHER IN FAU. super funny and caring, gives great lectures and is overall a very easy class.
GREAT person! AMAZING professor! BEST overall at FAU, wont regret taking her.
The best professor I have ever met in my life. She's so funny and straight forward with her exams. She provides study guides and overall is the best professor at FAU. All you need to buy for her class is the access code, you can buy the book too if you want but you really don't need it.
She truly is an amazing professor that provides the material in a way that is easily understandable. Definitely take her.
Best professor ever! Her exams are easy and her lectures are so fun!
She is honestly hilarious, she is so good at what she does. Best teacher I've had throughout college and I never went to her office hours. I actually enjoyed showing up for class.
I had Gina for sociological perspectives and I absolutely LOVE her. I wouldnt take anyone else for sociology. Shes funny and really kind. Shows movies sometimes and attendance isnt really mandatory. Just do the study guides for the tests and review it and youll pass. Only hard thing is a research paper but it isnt that bad. LOVE HER!!
She is AMAZING
Super funny and awesome teacher, TAKE HER IF YOU CAN. She makes the class so easy and enjoyable. 3 tests, 2 of them are during he semester, one of them is the final. She makes them really easy. Also one research paper that took me one day to complete. All of the notes she goes over are on canvas. Learnsmarts do get annoying however.
Gina is an amazing professor and truly a kind person. I took her my first year for intro to sociology and decided to take her again for human sexuality, and both classes open your eyes to real world issues. There is no homework for this class, only readings that are discussed/written about in class, one paper which is self explanatory, and 3 exams.
Take her! She is one of the most amazing professors. She makes class exciting, and she is an extremely caring person regarding her students. It is an easy intro level class, but it is an eye opening class as well; her lectures challenge you to see things from different viewpoints in the best way possible. Easy A. Take her, you won't regret it :)
She is such a caring and understanding person. She also gives real life situations to make the material easier
She is a great professor. Took her my first year of college and she is amazing and very caring.
Prof Gina is a sweetheart and isn't just a professor to me but also a friend. She is very understanding, funny, and philosophical. The class discussions got really intense and fun. Essays are very easy so long as she sees that you put effort into them. Exams can be a little tough but they're easy to make up with the hw. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND her!!!
Definitely take this class with her. She is amazing
Whatever opportunity you have to take her class.. do it. Not only because it's easy but you also learn a whole lot and she makes it enjoyable
She is an amazing professor! I always look forward to going to her class because of how exciting and interesting her lectures are. She is also a super caring person and gives plenty of examples to help make the material easier to comprehend. I 100% recommend to take her!
I have never been more interested in a class like i am in this one. The professor, Gina, is just the most amazing person, i love going to her class and honestly she teaches us so well that i barely had to study at all so far. I am soo happy that i took this class because this is now my standards for professors. All i have to say is she is The BEST!
She is amazing, her lectures are paired with stories that are real and many times hilarious
Gina is the best professor I have ever had at FAU. If you take sociology, take her class. You will not regret it. She's so passionate about her students and sociology that it makes learning easy and fun. 100% recommend her to everyone.
Easy A. Nicest lady ever!!!! Class not mandatory at alllll. Use to be like 180 kids but now only like 60 kids show up, I go bc her examples help you MAJOR on her exams. She gives u some answers & freebies. Tried & still got like a 92 so thats annoying. Class is basically compromised of exams. I hated the stupid paper, pointless but easy, got an a.
Great professor super sweet, the class was interesting at times the overall class is very easy there's in class writings you can use your book, she shows lots of documentaries. Beware of the tests there not hard but very tricky and they count for 75% of your grade. Research paper pretty easy 1500 words or more but was not bad. Test for the testss!!
Gina is AMAZING! I LOVE HER! I am so glad that I signed up to take her class, and trust me when I tell you, you won't regret taking any of her classes. Hands down and without question, she is the best professor at FAU! She is friendly, caring, inspirational, hilarious, respected, and just a wonderful human being! She is going to be a legend at FAU!
amazing professor. out of all my teachers, she is the absolute best, her class was the only class i would look forward to so much. her lectures are paired with her own personal experienced. she clearly cares about her students and their success. she is also open for any type of discussion you might what to talk to her about. the sweetest person!!!!
If only every professor could be as amazing as Gina. She was made to teach this course. She makes the classroom a comfortable, safe space. Her passion is to educate student beyond the exams. Take this class with her and you will not regret it. Honestly I never learned so much important info in a class before that is relevant in life.
ALL the positive reviews are true! She is simply amazing! A true gem and a sweetheart. Attend class because she is simply amazing! Love you Gina!
Gina helped me out when I missed the final due to medical reasons and was so completely understanding. She was easily accessible by email and thorough her summer office hours. If you want a professor who genuinely cares about teaching and students as well as makes you laugh all lecture Gina is the best!
I recently graduated and will tell you she is among the best professors at FAU. Her lectures are interesting and she makes the concepts easy to remember for the test and is understandable if any life issues happen. Class is pretty easy and very interesting!
I took her my first semester at FAU and she was so kind and caring it helped my transition into college! As long as you attend class, pay attention, and study you'll do fine. Her lectures and examples helped me remember topics!
Gina is the best. Lectures are so funny and exams are so easy. She keeps it interesting and is so real. She doesn't take attendance but I still went to class and loved it. HW is online and so easy bc its by completion.
Loved her so much, literally trying to find other classes she teaches so I can register for them. She is the best professor at FAU without a doubt.
GINA IS THE BEST! Such a caring and relatable professor. Her lectures are ALWAYS interesting and actually hilarious. She teaches with a passion and makes sociology material understandable. Highly recommend you wont regret it!
I loved this professor. She was very sweet and funny. She explained lectures in great detail and cared about all her students. 100% recommend taking her!! She will always make her kids smile and she shows great films to make students understand context better.
Gina is such a loving, funny teacher. Definitely was my favorite professor of my freshman year.
Dr Gina is awesome not only in the classroom but outside as well. Very caring professor. If you have the chance take her, you will not regret it!
Gina Gina Gina. The sweetest lady and person to ever step foot at FAU. The SYG 1000 class is very easy and her notes are verbatim what will be in the test. 3 exams, weekly connect homeworks. She also makes the lectures oh so interesting. If you get the chance, please take her! Shes AMAZING!
Everything you hear is true. Definitely an amazing professor with great lectures and an attitude I imagine you'll find in very few professors. Only got a B+ because I didn't study too well for the tests, but even those are mostly easy. Attendance isn't mandatory per say, but there are like 3 times where she passed a sheet around so, yeah.
Gina is one of FAU's best professors. She is so smart and caring and makes class fun. I minored in sociology because of her class. She makes it easy with her "every day Gina language" I absolutely loved her and the class. She made an early class easy to go to and easy to pass. If you need sociology take her!!
Love her!!! I think everyone should take at least one of her courses.
GINA WAS AWESOME! She was going through so much when I had her but she continued to show up and respect us and teach us the material in an engaging way. Attendance was taken randomly but not a huge part of the grade. Her tests were easy as long as you pay attention during the lectures and follow the study guide. She is truly a sweetheart who cares.
Amazing professor, her lectures are always interesting and engaging. Take her!!
If you ever thought about having a fun college class, take this one with Dr. Gina, she goes beyond teaching, makes students aware of the information given and the outside application. She is an experience many FAU students need.
absolutely AMAZING!! Everyone needs to take one of her classes at least once. Very engaging and caring. Will definitely miss her humor!
Spring 2020 (COVID shutdown semester) we had 3 (100 point) exams, a 100-point 1000-word essay, 10 online HW assignments w/ strict deadlines, and two 10-point short essay assignments comparing a documentary to what we're learning in class. I got a 80/100 on my first exam after just an hour of memorizing lecture notes. Aced the last 2.
Take her class! Shes passionate about what she teaches and cares for everyone. There are online assignments & exams as well as in-class exams. Sounds like a lot, but really isnt. Study and youll be fine. Her lectures are entertaining and memorable which helps w exams.
Gina is WONDERFUL! She is passionate during every lecture. She is understanding if life gets in the way of school work, just talk to her and is is very accommodating. She wants her students to well. Do the readings, keep pace with her lectures, she gives you a detailed exam guide if you study and do the papers it easy A.
Super amazing class and the best professor Ive ever had in my three years at FAU. If I could take every class with Gina I would. Shes hilarious!! The grade consists of three exams and a few papers. The study guide covers everything on the exam.
I love this woman. Amazing professor. took her for sociological perspectives and I just loved how passionate she was. she really cares and she is so funny! I am planning on taking another class with her fall 2020. she is so kind and I think she is one of the best professors ive ever had if not THE best. dont be stupid, take her class.
Gina was such an AMAZING professor in every aspect of the word. She the type of person you want to keep up with even after you finish her class. Her lectures were content heavy, but taking notes was optional, as she uploads them all to canvas. SUPER caring & understanding for all assignments and will work with you. You will love her class.
Enough can't be said about Gina as both a professor and a person. She is truly one of the good ones and everyone loves her caring and laid-back demeanor. She gave me an extension on an assignment when I was enduring familial issues and for that I am eternally grateful. I had her for 3 sociology classes and all of them wer wonderful. Take her class!
There are sooo many video reflections, and they WILL CHALLENGE your comfort levels. She is quirky and goofy. This class involves lots of writing and YOU will need the book. Lots of work but not difficult. She provides detailed lectures, outlines and respondes expeditiously. Her exams are essay and no direct quotation is allowed.
Gina is awesome! Take her class, you won't regret it. Take this as an in-person class, her lectures are worth experiencing.
Gina is the best professor ive ever had! she is so funny and such a down to earth person. She wants her students to succeed and will help anyone at any time!! Definitely take this class!
Gina is amazing!! such a caring professor and honestly the material was easy and understandable . If you're a freshman and scared of what online class would be like , don't be! she makes it super doable and her assignments are mostly in canvas with a few discussions..
She is my favorite professor and person at FAU. She is so kind, funny, and caring and she teaches the material so well and in a way that helps you understand and remember it. In her online class, she always answers questions in the zoom chat and makes every student feel acknowledged. I would take her class again if I could.
Please take her class, you will not regret it! She is very understanding, especially with this pandemic. She doesn't make you feel dumb for asking questions and she is willing to work with you. She is a great teacher she really keeps you engaged even online! She guides you by giving you review material for the exam! and they are exactly the same!
TAKE THIS PROFESSOR!!! She is the best one I have had at FAU! She genuinely cares about her students and she tells lots of funny stories during lecture! The material is very easy if you study you will pass. TAKE HER!!!
Gina is so funny and truly cares about her students. Her exams are pretty easy, if you study. Highly recommend!
Dr. Gina is hands down one of the best professors I have taken at FAU. She is a great professor and really teaches you about the topics you are learning and makes them interesting by keeping it real. On top of being a great teacher, Gina knows that life happens and is always understanding of anything even mental health.
She is really nice and funny but I wasn't a fan of her class. The hw is mc questions from the textbook and is super long but an easy A and sometimes discussion questions. The hw barely did anything to my grade so the tests affected it a lot. She gives study guides for the tests but you really have to read the chapters in the text book to do well.
She is hands down one the best professors Ive had so far. Shes so caring and understanding of her students, but her lectures are very interesting and shes adds great examples to connect with the real world and help her students understand better. Shes an amazing professor i definetly recommend her
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! If you have the option to take ANY of her classes, you need to do so. She is an amazing professor, cares about her students and their success in her course. She will help you out with anything if you email her, there is nothing bad that I could say about her. She is an amazing person and professor.
Gina is amazing! Hope I get to take her again, she made the fully online class enjoyable and easy to learn from. 2 open book exams that you get to do at your own pace through the course of the semester, and some discussion posts and 500 word responses to videos. She included some recorded lectures too, I bet she's a joy to have in-person as well!
Love her! she is so fun and truly cares about her students. The class is not hard, just do the assignments. Both lecture exams and connect exams but are easy if you pay attention (or not) but I highly recommend attending the lectures shes fun to be around!
Gina is such a caring professor, she tries to make her lectures as relatable and interesting as possible and includes lots of funny personal stories. She gives study guides for the exams and they are open book. Definitely recommend her class for anyone taking Sociology! She gives you all the tools you need to succeed and receive an A.
Gina's an angel. There's a lot of readings for her class that you have to do on your own time as she doesn't lecture on them specifically, but she's super funny and engaging, her information is spot-on and she opens the class to discussions in a very helpful way. I could not recommend her more. If you have a chance to take her, take her.
Great teacher and super sweet. Weekly assignments were very simple and the tests are not proctored. Highly recommend this teacher.
Great professor. The course assignments consist of numerous reports and discussions on various films and novels that are both immensely informative and very interesting. The final exam for this course is written response and open book. As long as you do all of the required work, it is very easy to get an A in this class.
Literally the funniest and nicest lady. Can not go wrong with her class. 10/10. Respectful of everyone. She's just a really nice and caring lady and she clearly LOVES sociology.
Gina is the BEST! This class was fully online but she reached out weekly! She responded quick to e-mails as well her her TA. Throughout the semester we had a lot of work, but it was pretty easy to do.
The absolute FUNNIEST and most caring professor I've ever had!!! She is extremely knowledgable about sociology and has a clear passion for teaching/sociology. I would definitely recommend taking any course of hers, she's very personable!
Easy A if you don't mind writing/essays. There's 4 video reflections, 3 discussions, and 3 book reflections, plus the final. Everything is in written response. The final is 6 questions that must be 3,000 words total and the video reflections must be 500 words. The book reflections are around 1000-2000 words. You WILL need the textbook.
Gina is one of a kind and truly cares about her students. The material was super interesting. Summer course only had a few discussion posts, video reflections and two essay exams. Super manageable and insightful!
Gina is the best professor I've taken in my entire college experience. She cares about her students, appreciates effort and wants you to succeed. All the lectures and documentaries she asks you to watch are extremely interesting. This is an easy A+ class if you put enough effort! TAKE HER! There is a reason why she has such amazing reviews.
Was looking for some upper level credits and I am glad I found these. This is not my area of study and I found the course content engaging and easy to write about. There were some discussion posts and some writing. I found I had plenty of time to complete the assignments and they were graded promptly. Would reccommend
Highly recommend! The professor made this class so interesting to learn about. The documentaries really give you a new perspective as well as the studies. This was a writing class. Discussion posts and assignments were all writing, including 2 tests with 5 written response questions each for a total of 1500 words per exam so be prepared to write.
Professor made a great impression and was very personable and truly cares about her students. Online assignments are due for each chapter, they are long but can be done. She gives at-home proctored tests but they are all open note. She posts her presentations and word documents with all the information you need. Great professor, easy A.
Great professor and I have no complaints ! There were a decent amount of writing assignments but it's not overbearing. Not many tests and the class you learned a lot. I would recommend taking her !
Professor Carreno-Lukasik is very kind and funny. She makes her lectures lively and engages with her students. Attendance is not required, but you will not be disappointed attending one of her lectures. I would take her again in a heartbeat.
Course is nonsense. She is kind of helpful giving feedback, but again, she will give you a biased topic to discuss every class. Readings are biased. Videos are biased. It is the lefty agenda every single class. She will forgive you if you miss classes.
Trust these reviews! She is great! Easy A!
take her you won't regret it!! she has to be one of the best profs on campus. she really cares about each of her students and wants you to succeed. makes herself very open outside of class time if you ever need help. attendance isn't mandatory but she makes lectures funny and interesting. can not recommend her enough!
I highly recommend choosing her as your professor. She is one of the best on campus and truly cares about her students' success. She is easily accessible for help outside of class and makes lectures engaging and enjoyable, even though attendance is not mandatory. She is an exceptional educator, and I cannot recommend her enough.

Consider choosing her as your professor. She's among the highest-rated on campus, cares about her students' success, and provides engaging lectures while available for assistance outside of class. It is highly recommended.
FAU is lucky to have her. Im graduating soon and needed to let everyone know she's an angel and her class was a very memorable one. If I could go back in time for just a little to experience being a freshman in her class again, I WOULD. SHES AWESOME! GINA YOU WILL BE MISSED :( GO OWLS!!!
Such an easy class, and she makes the lectures very engaging! Would highly recommend taking her class!
Probably one of the best professors I had. I would take her for every class if I was able to. I've taken her a few times and always look for her name to see if I can take her for another class. 10 out of 10. Best professor at FAU!!!!!!
Gina was absolutely amazing. I accidentally missed one of her papers (totally on me tho) and it brought my grade down by a lot. So be ware to do those papers, I promise the lectures and readings are super interesting, this class will definitely make you look at the sociological part of human sexuality from a completely new perspective. Loved her!
"Gina was a great professor. Her lectures and readings on the sociology of human sexuality were fascinating. Completing all the assignments is recommended to get a new perspective. I loved her teaching style!"
This is my 3rd semester taking Gina and she was amazing as usual. Lectures are engaging, material is super easy to digest. There are 3 papers, but if you follow the rubric you will do fine. I got 100 on every assignment besides the two exams we had. She also cares deeply about her students and is very empathetic. Can't recommend taking her enough.
Gina was a fantastic professor. The course content was a bit progressive for my mindset, but was not overly political. All assignments open on day 1 and are extremely reasonable. Tests (2) are essay format and are a bit long, but the info is provided to you. Definitely don't agree with a lot of the subject matter, but hey, it's college. Take Gina!
Gina is the best professor I've ever had!! I took her for 2 classes and have learned so much from her lectures. Her classes are super easy and laid back. She has an open heart and cares so much for her students. She is so welcoming, kind, and an amazing professor! Take her classes if you have the chance!! I can't thank her enough!
Professor Gina's class is engaging and informative. The assignments are manageable, and she genuinely cares about her students' success. I found tools like unstuckstudy ai and the textbook helpful for studying.
Gina was a great teacher and is very chill. We read a lot from the textbook or either a PDF posted on Canvas and engaged through discussions in class. Easy A.
Dr. Gina is an actual angel sent from heaven. She is the best professor I have had so far, she is so sweet and considerate. I wish more people were like her! Easy class overall not too bad
10/10 love her! i took her intro class too & shes so sweet! She genuinely cares for her students and makes sure everyone (who wants to) feels seen. She has a book required for her class that you will need for the exams but she gives you a study guide &t hey're basically word for word the exam questions
Gina is an amazing person and professor. I really enjoyed her lectures and the material she taught. She is very understanding and is more than willing to go over concepts that are more difficult to grasp.
She is very caring and very thoughtful in her lectures. Extremely easy work, little homework and tests are online and open note.
Gina is the best!! She genuinely cares about her students. Tests are all taken outside of class and homeworks are super easy also. Take this class!!!
Pretty easy class. Most assignments were writing responses to documentaries, usually 1000 words. She gives consistent reminders and is on top of grading. The video content can be graphic and disturbing, so be aware. Overall, respectful professor.
She is such a caring individual and an easy grader, but her class is so much work for an elective. There is like 5 discussions, 5 video reflections and 5 book reflections. You literally have to buy like 5 books because there is assignments and her final is about all of them. Easy grader, but just a difficult class. The videos are disturbing.
Gina is an amazing professor!! She is super understanding and discusses very real topics (and graphic) in a respectful and realistic manner. She gives a lot of warnings prior to the discussion topic so you wont be caught off guard. If you were good at psychology this class shouldn't be difficult for you. 10/10 class I loved it.
easy course easy grade. She likes to talk a lot.
I loved her so much that I am taking her again. The kindest and most caring professor you will ever have. The workload is really nothing bad, just a couple of discussions and 2 exams that are open note. I found the textbook online. There are maybe 3 assignments that are 1000 words, but not hard
this professor really cares for her students!! i took her live online from Palm Beach State for Summer A, she has a big heart and wants you to really learn about this course. She is passionate, only had 4 reflection videos minimum of 300 words, 1 essay of 1000 words and 2 exams. it was easy! stressfree. TAKE PROFESSOR GINA!! you will not regret it
TAKE HER she's the best most understanding professor ever
Gina was the best teacher I have ever had. She is the most caring, understanding teacher and will work with you through any concerns. Class meets two times a week, but she doesn't always take attendance. We had Learnsmart modules due every week before class, and a total of 6 exams. 3 are on canvas, 3 are on Learnsmart. Very easy if you take notes.
An absolutely fabulous professor. I truly wish she taught every subject I took. Her classes are primarily lectures, with the occasional discussion writing prompts. 6 exams overall (3 lecture exams and 3 connect exams), and she allows you to use your notes for them. Some heavy topics are discussed but she warns you ahead of time. PICK HER.
