Glenda's class changed my life! It's really a great class. Offers entirely new perspectives on sexuality.

oh crap, such hard tests. everyone who wants to take her class should know it is a lot of work, but totally worth it. be prepared to be exposed to a million different views

best class and best teacher ever. she is really helpful and nice if you talk to her

Finally, a class with concepts I can relate to in everyday life!! Tests were extremely easy if you remembered definitions and understood concepts. Project was life changing. Great teacher- she definitely practices her craft and isn't afraid of any sexuality taboos. Perfect for open and frank discussions. One of the best profs and classes!

Awesome class! I recommend her highly!

amazing.

Glenda is a wonderful teacher, if you have the chance, take her class.

shes a teacher who wants her students to learn from a different perspetive. she does try to incorporate sex and current issues into her lectures so students pay attention which are usually funny, embarrassing or annoying. Her tests are pretty hard but can make up for it through short papers. Good amount of work but you learn a lot in a unique way.

Every day was unexpected and interesting

Took Social Constructions of Sexuality and it is not only a practical class, but fun too. We had great in class discussions and classes were usually very engaging. Glenda is a tough, but fair teacher who makes you think.

absolutely hilarious! you never know what ridiculous things she will say next. as far as the class... its tough, 1 page paper due every thursday. however the TAs will edit them if you go to office hours. you definitely need to study for this class

I got an A in this class just by trying. People who think this class is too "hard" are just lazy and stupid. If you are a serious student and value sexuality this is the class for you! The best class I ever took at CU!

This class was fabulous, and so was the professor. If you're lazy, this is not the professor for you. She demands that you work hard to understand the material, but it is absolutely worth it.

Dirty Words day was still the best day/class I attended in college. Honestly the most memorable class I took. Not sure what I learned except I have much more a sexual appriciation of things. Overall A-

The class is NOT ridiculously hard. So, you have to do SOMETHING, either read the book or go to lecture/recitation. The topics are applicable and interesting. The tests are DIRECTLY from the study guides and the content is in the book.

This class was fabulous. Great instructor, interesting material. Not hard if you study -GASP- yes, you have to study. Great intro to the concepts of sociology and social construction in the context of sexuality.

Glenda is one of the brightest people I have ever met. She's rough around the edges, but you can ask her anything and she will give you an actual answer. You need to stay engaged with the material to do well on her tests, which are difficult. She isn't good at email correspondence but is always available for office hours.

This is my second class with Glenda. She is the****. Going to class is like going to a stand up comedy show. Just don't take her too seriously. The key is to go to class and take notes not only on her power points but on what she says. She formulaically writes tests, so read her pointers on how to take them and her class is a breeze!

One of the best teachers I've ever had at CU. The tests aren't easy but there not impossible either. She's also very willing to help! Definitely recommend this teacher/class.

Glenda is awesome! Very funny and helpful. If you follow readings and notes, tests are no problem.

Seriously, take this class. Not only is Glenda an amazing teacher and probably the funniest, this class literally changed my life. My view on the world and myself has changed so much for the better. This class is just HILARIOUS. If you read everything and go to class, you're golden.

Glenda is wonderful. Hilarious and helpful she made me want to be at every single class

Glenda is amazing, Her classes are always awesome!

I think Glenda is hilarious. She provides really funny and relatable examples for all of the material she presents in lectures, which is so helpful. She is very easygoing which creates a more relaxed classroom environment, and yet, she still has very high grading standards and makes you work really hard. Her classes are certainly not boring...

Glenda is a tough grader and can go off on tangents every now and then, but she's also very accommodating and does a great job of making her classes interesting.

Glenda is the best teacher I've ever had, hands down. Class material is engaging and she keeps everything interesting. You'll be laughing one minute and then be questioning your entire existence then next... Anyone deciding on taking a class with Glenda and is reading this review should look no further than the enroll button.

If you want to be entertained take a course by Glenda Walden. I didn't read at all for this class and ended up with an A. She offers lots of extra credit opportunities and if you go into her office hours she is always super helpful. I was NEVER bored during her lectures, and that is saying a lot.

Glenda is funny, compassionate, and engaging. Her class is not easy but what you put into it, you get out of it. She is very approachable and tries her hardest to offer extra credit, office hours, etc. The grading is a little harsh. Class is reading-heavy, but not impossible if you know how skim for important ideas. I'm happy I took her class.

Take SOCY 1004 as an August semester, it is a lot of reading but it's interesting so it's not too hard. The test are straightforward and she gives out a study guide. Going to lectures are super helpful for understanding the theories and concepts. You can go into office hours if you need extra credit or if you want her to edit your papers.

Glenda is a great professor. Her lectures are engaging and she is very knowledgeable about what she is teaching. She is a very fair person, if you take the time to go to her office hours with any problems she is very accommodating. Definitely do the readings if you expect to do well on the tests.

Glenda is an awesome teacher. I personally didn't do well in her class but it had nothing to do with her. You are graded on very few things (three tests, a paper, and attendance) so if you do poorly on the test it is hard to get a good grade. Her tests are all multiple choice. You don't know which days she is going to take attendance.

Glenda is a great and fair professor! She is extremely relaxed compared to your typical prof. This is a pretty easy and fun class to take. Very interesting material and great extra credit opportunities!

Glenda is the best! She makes the class material so interesting and funny. She offered three opportunities for extra credit (all easy) and is very easy to reach out to.

Dr. Glenda is an absolute charm, and anyone would be lucky to have her. Her lectures are engaging, fun, and great for taking into the real world. Very accessible outside of class, and always has great insight at office hours. Only one paper for the semester, which she gives the prompt for months in advance. Tests are hard, but manageable.

I'm taking Glenda as my internship advisor and I absolutely adore her. She is super down to earth and understanding and also has a good sense of humor. You can tell she definitely cares about her students and what she does. She made more interested in the field and was supportive in every way throughout.

Glenda always has very engaging lectures and it is very obvious that she's passionate about this topic. However, her exams are very tricky and are heavily based on the readings. Graded by only a few things, but she offers lots of extra credit. Attendance isn't taken but she'll randomly offer participation points just for showing up.

She has been my favorite professor so far

Glenda is a wonderful professor that touches many societal issues while being thorough and exceptionally well-spoken while teaching sociology. Her course is relevant and has helped my understanding of many social issues of today. She has inspired me to look at my life with a different lens and I always loved attending her lectures.

Glenda was freaking amazing. She is so kind and actually wants you to succeed--she is willing to help you if you ever have issues w hw, etc. Her class is definitely one you should pay attention in, but it's not the end of the world if you skip a day or two. She does occasionally have you turn in a little something to check for attendance.

Glenda is a really funny and outgoing professor. She is very understanding of people's needs and loves her students. She often gets really off topic during lecture, but it keeps the class more fun and interesting. Weekly quizzes and only 1 midterm. Most of your grade comes from participation and essays, three throughout the semester.

Drugs in US society was a great class and Prof Walden made it that way. Readings are long and there are plenty of them. Some papers to do and exams as well. As long as you attend lecture, and do the readings which what the tests consist of and weekly quizzes then you'll be fine throughout. She is also very caring and is willing to listen.

Glenda is an amazing storyteller and puts a lot of effort into understanding her students' interests and needs. She has a great grasp of what students are going through and is willing to adjust accordingly. Expectations for papers are high, but if you've taken a deviance course before it's a pretty easy A.

Glenda is really a great professor. She can explain the topic really well, and elaborates if you need it. If you go to all the lectures, and are actively engaged (TAKE NOTES) then there's no way you can do badly in her class. Just remember to read the textbook and readings because those supplement the lectures very often.

I LOVE GLENDA!!!! She is amazing. All of her tests and essays are completely fair (some test questions are weirdly worded). She is one of my favorite teachers at CU. If you are confused with anything then go to office hours because she is soooo helpful! I HIGHLY recommend. Just read and go to class and you'll be fine!

She does get off topic during lectures sometimes but in my experience sometimes it was the students fault through asking questions that were already stated in the syllabus or should have been answered during office hours . Other than that test and quizzes were easy and open note. Just literally read what she assigns and its an easy A.

Glenda is an inspiration to me. She honestly is a smart queen. However, the papers in this class are very annoying to write since they're 80% citations. I find Glenda's lectures to be quite funny and she doesn't take attendance:))))))))) Quizzes can be a bit annoying as well since they're timed but you just need to word search notes/textbook

Glenda is absolutely amazing. She has a perfect balance of humor and intellect in her lectures, and her readings are all very interesting. She's aware that they can be dense and has methods of success that make it easy to navigate this. There are always opportunities for extra credit. Your grade in Glenda's class is a reflection of engagement.

Super fun and easy, all the tests were online and open notes with no lockdown browser. Really fun to talk to after class and has tons of knowledge and super fun stories. Definitely would take again.

Very interesting lectures. A lot regarding sexual matters. Try and show up and you should be good. Make sure to read

The only way you could not get a good grade in this class is if you're entirely tuned out to the material. Glenda has clearly lived an interesting life and she gives good and engaging lectures with lots of examples. As long as you read the textbook and go to the lecture, this class will be a breeze. The information was all super interesting.

Glenda is a great advisor who's always willing to help and work with her students. She understands the stresses and hectic schedules of college students, so even though she expects great work from her students, she doesn't pressure them with tons of assignments or busy work.

Glenda is very blunt and does go on tangents and incorporates her personal life. I think she's hilarious and very passionate about subject matter. I love her teaching style. Graded off of 4 exams, lowest dropped, two papers, and a group project. Harsh grader and LOTS of reading, but you can get by without it if you actively engage in lectures.

AMAZING! So funny, love her storytelling and how she uses real examples to make concepts clear. This class was kinda hard for its level, tons of reading but if you listen to the lecture you can usually get the ideas you will need for the test. The average in my class was like a c- though so be warned.Very willing to work w students wrt office hours

She was a great professor. The class was very easy and the tests were not hard at all (as long as you do the readings). The readings take some time, but if you do them, the answers are basically in the text. She was also always willing to meet and help outside of class with papers if you just emailed! She was also super funny and made lecture fun.

Glenda is a great professor, she is super funny and engaging. I enjoy going to this class. There is five tests and they are all pretty clear. Two papers with super clear writing guidelines.

Glenda is an absolutely outstanding professor. She gives amazing lectures that are engaging and informative. You can tell that she is extremely passionate and genuinely cares for her students. I have never had a professor who prioritizes their students as much as Glenda did. Truly an inspiring and remarkable professor!

Glenda really cares about her student's success but you do have to put in the effort to go to office hours and really learn the material. The class is based on five tests and two papers with recitation attendance and participation. The tests are hard but open note and there are opportunities to earn back points by going and discussing your answers

Cares about students and is very willing to engage outside of class. I love how she presents things with stories to demonstrate concepts, funny and engaging. Exam questions can be a little confusing if you skip class, but if you attend somewhat regularly you should be fine. She drops our lowest exam and offers a little extra credit so that is nice

Very funny and nice professor. However, for a 1000 level class it is HARD. Easy to succeed if you put in the work but beware it is a lot of reading.

I really enjoyed her style of teaching. Very open, with allowing a lot of discussions and questions during class time. Walden is relatable, good with students, and clearly knowledgable about sociology and teaching. A little odd at times, but flexible and kind! I would recommend her.

Glenda's classes are always so interesting, you get many opportunities to work with peers. Tests are not open note or book and are in person. There are study guides provided for the tests but they can be lengthy, they cover all of the content on the tests.

I've taken 3 classes with Glenda and I love her so much. She's VERY eccentric and also very passionate about the course material which makes every lecture interesting. If you're a non-SOCY major looking for an easy class, definitely don't take this. It's a heavy workload and exams are pretty tough. If you're interested in SOCY I'd 100% recommend

Glenda can be a polarizing character but her lectures are interesting and she cares about social and academic success. You need to go to lecture, take notes, and keep up on readings to do well. Becoming a familiar face to her goes a long way and she is very willing to help if she knows you try in class. Maybe not the best class for non-socy majors.

Glenda is a pretty engaging professor. Lots of reading, occasional attendance. Discusses very interesting topics but goes off topic all the time. 75 question final was terrible, the information in the course works better when applied papers or projects. So if you take this class, its fun but watch out for final

The professor is engaging and cares about student success, but the class material is challenging. Attend regularly, read the textbook, and utilize resources like unstuck study for study prep to do well. Overall, a rewarding experience with a knowledgeable and supportive instructor.

Glenda is a great lecturer! She ties things to real world experiences, and it's important to really listen becuase she does sneak some really important information in such a casual lecture. She's engaging, insightful, and clearly loves her job. I've signed up to take more classes from her. Definitely need to do the readings, but she's great!

She makes what we are learning more interactive in lectures, and it can be a lot of group discussion. the downside to that is that it can often go off topic. Most of the material introduced is in the textbook notes, but she does include class material on tests. She's also very accommodating with special circumstances if you communicate with her.

Dr. Walden is very knowledgable and clearly tries to set the class up to succeed. However, many of the readings are not incorporated into class lectures. She typically only goes over the powerpoint that we were already required to take notes from. I don't love the flipped classroom setup. However, she makes herself extremely available out of class.

Glenda is a super fun professor. I just took the final for drugs in US course and it was pretty easy. The lectures are fun and conversational. She is very easy to reach outside of class if you need extra support. This class is an easy A as long as you do the readings and show up to class.

Prof. Walden is hilarious, a trait your grades will also have if you fail to prep for the midterm, final and film analysis paper. Fill out the study guides in advance, and partner up for the paper, make sure you do the readings (textbook especially). Due to a limited number of graded items, assume all attendance activities to be mandatory.
