Good teacher, the way the classroom is set up is very effective for the sociology class. im glad I took her as My teacher.
MISS CLAY IS AWESOME...I LOVE HER AND I WANNA VISIT HER CLASSES FROM NOW ON..I GOT AN A IN HER CLASS FOR JUST BEING MYSELF AND SPEAKING ABOUT MY OPINIONS OF THE TOPICS
Professor Clay is an amazing woman. I was very skeptical about working in the circle of knowledge, but I grew to love it and look forward to it. A little tip: keep your notebook organized from day one and keep all of the handouts. Bring a smile to class and be yourself, your opinion matters here!This class is FUN!!!
What a great teacher. The way she has her class set up will make you learn whether you want to or not. I would deffinately take her class again if I could. I highly recomend her.
Very easy class. Do not take it for granted though. Though this is an easy "A" it does take hard work at the same time. She helps be creative in using your mind and gives a different view of what anyone would think Sociology is. Take her and you'll see for yourself. Her structure is very different and it is really fun.
The class is quite easy and simple to get through, however she changes her mind quite often on assignments- but this worked out in the students favor the majority of the time. I would recommend this class
Easy A but it's a lot of work and writing. She's a really nice woman but the class doesn't teach you much unless you focus extremely hard and keep everything REALLY organized
she is very cool a lil confused but if you never missed class you will get an A.
Definitely one of the sweetest professors I've ever had. No big tests, but I didn't learn much. The chairs are organized in a big circle and all the classes are basically only discussion.
Prepare to be confused but it is an easy A as long as you show up to class and turn in the assignment of what you learned in te previous class. Talk about "Social" in sociology. Lol
It is very easy class and you are going to enjoy it
The is class was interesting easy for sure!!
Awesome teacher. You will get the grade that you earn. We sit in a circle and have lots of good discussions. Not a lot of tests.
This class is so easy. Take it and you'll love it.
She makes you think about social events differently.
Great teacher, easy class & fun experience.
Looove this class!
Gloria Clay is a very sweet teacher that really is interested in what she is teaching. This class can be very confusing but interesting
Awesome.
Her class is very good and so is Ms.CLay. I recommend taking this class.
She is awesome
Ms.Clay is very helpful, and her class is fun and unique. I would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting to find a great sociology professor (:
Mrs. Clay is Unique/Amazing has a special way of teaching. Take her for Sociology easy A if you show up test are easy and class is fun a little confusing at first, but you will adjust quick.
Mrs. Clay is unique/amazing take her for Sociology you won't regret it easy A! Her teaching method is great you will learn a lot from each other all you have to do is show up do the work she's a very sweet lady.
Okay, Ms. Clay is great. She doesn't teach traditionally. Rarely there are desks. Just do what she asks. Write something every day!! The final at the end is a book and the more you have, the better. Participate!! She is confusing on what she wants, but just keep asking questions and you will get it :) EASY A! (if you participate)
She even gave us pictures of our groups for Christmas, you guys. Sweetest teacher ever. Take her, you will not regret it!!!
Prof. Clay is by far one of the nicest professors you will get in a college setting. She genuinely cares about her students and wants you to enjoy her class. It is rather unorthodox, but its a nice change. If you come to class with your notebook, and write a paper everyday you will get an A, no doubt about that. Take her class! She is great!
Not your average class if you want something different take her class she really cares about her students i wish she taught other classes
Good class in the end. But if you want a class with just lectures don't take her. She lets students choose what way they want to do her classwork. Attendance is vital.
Course was an amazing experience. Gained SO much knowledge about myself and life. One of the most rewarding courses of my college career. Inspirational Prof. Not "easy," work to be done, but SO worth it
Very good teacher, nice and willing to help you anytime she can.
Get ready for a very unconventional teaching method. Get ready to write ALOT of papers!
Professor Clay is an amazing teacher. In her Sociology class she uses the circle of knowledge which is a technique that help us learn and teach at the same time. We sat in a circle And discussed every topic she give no test or quizes only the midterm and that is an easy A . She does give us lots of essays to do, every day but only 1 paragraph !
She is a interesting professor with her own teaching method. Some may be off guard but overall pretty rewarding.
Skip 2 class you may not pass!
Really nice lady and clearly very smart, but directions of assignments are extremely unclear and personally was not a fan of the circle of knowledge at all.
Easy A for sociology, you have to write A LOT in her class, pretty much after every class meeting, but the writing is your own opinions so there is no right or wrong answers. you can miss 2 weeks and still catch up. she allowed make up attending other classes for attendance. it can be unclear sometimes but just ask her about it and she will help
Be prepared professor Clay teaches her class in a circle and under the principal that each one teach one. Although you will do a lot of writing there are no right or wrong answers in her class. Be prepared to be present in class, don't take if you aren't going to take it seriously. You must read aloud everyday. A little unorthodox but well worth it
Professor Clay designs her classroom very different than most professors. She uses the circle of knowledge and encourages "each one teach one". As long as you show up and turn in the homework then you are grant an A. Homework is always on your opinion, Midterm is memorization and the final is a notebook of all the assignment you done. Super simple.
She is a great teacher and I love her each one teach one method in the class.
I'm sure she's a very nice professor and person, but I just can't tolerate the teaching method. It's not for everyone. It feels way more like a group therapy session than an actual classroom. Tons of writing assignments, which are fine. But it felt like you were left to do the learning on your own, with absolutely not direction or help.
Very inspiring professor. To pass the class just participate in class and write a paper on what you learned in class.
Professor Clay was an outstanding professor. Prepare to write A LOT of papers
She is a passionate professor with a great mind to share. She challenges her students with mind boggling questions that expand your mindset.
She's a wonderful teacher and a remembered professor. Her methodologies of taking combined with her friendliness made this class worth it.
Ms. Clay Is a kind hearted women with many years of experience behind her. The most important trait to know about Ms. Clay is that she is forgiving. Often her teaching methods seem unconventional and sometimes disorganized, this can be a little overwhelming, but understand that your writing assignments are flexible. My tip: text your classmates!!
Papers due for every class.
Easy a come to class do your work you'll get an A.
Ms. Clay is very nice and caring
Professor clay is an awesome teacher, I absolutely love her. I really enjoyed my time in her class. No lecture we just sit in a circle and talk. You do write papers after every class but they are so easy! Midterm is 20 questions and she gives you the answers to study, final is reading on sociology. If you want an easy "A" this is the class for you.
Mrs. Clay is a beautiful person. She is caring and very knowledgeable in sociology. Her teaching style is "each one, teach one" which means thst attendance is a must and participation will get you a good grade. Attend every class, participate in the class discussions, write your papers, you'll get an A.
Professor Gloria Clay's teaching style is amazing. The circle of knowledge method really works. At first the method feels weird because it's nothing you are used to but by the 2nd or 3rd week you'll love it. The professor is always helpful trying to draw the knowledge out of you. If you take this class, you will truly leave changed.
This class inspired us to think and view life in different perspectives. We sat in a circle every day to better interact with each other and hear everyones opinions. I like how every class was a different topic and we was able to express our selfs.
She is an amazing professor, one of the best professors I've taken on campus. She's not tough at all, she is super leanient and will understand if you are having a problem, you have homework everyday but it's just homework on what you leaned. She's very funny and will make the class interesting. Nice discussions with her.
Very nice. she understands you. she will give homework but that is to reflect on what you learned the day before. she is very funny and she is helpful.
no words to describe how she is. simply amazing.
Professor Clay holds a special talent with her students. Professor Clay allows her students to become the teachers of the classroom by encouraging discussions on various topics. With her passion for her students professor Clay enlightens everyone with sociological wisdom which will help better yourself and the world around you. You are amazing!
Participation and turning in essays are the main aspects of the class. She only has one test and has an final essay. Only problem is that you would HAVE to keep every piece of paper that you are given and every essay that is assigned for a booklet that is part of the final.
This class is good if you don't like structure. The professor is a terrible communicator on what the homework is. if you an Adult going to college at night skip this professor and find another. if you have to go to this class I suggest wine or some other spirt before class. .
We got put in groups and had to write a short paper every class. She sat us in a large circle and wanted everyone to talk. Her explanations werent always clear, we had to ask clarifying questions. Attendance matters. But shes nice. Al ot of writing but its easy and the discussions were fun. Spoiler: Sociology as a field is Marxist and unscientific.
If you enjoy creative freedom, G. Clay is a fantastic professor. However, personally, as a more "left-brained" student I was often left confused about assignments and was frustrated by the lack of structure, so I withdrew. There is a short paper due every class, which you will read aloud and discuss with peers, and there are some group projects.
The class was definitely a lot different from all the others I have taken. Be ready to read every class because you will have a two page paper due. As long as you keep all your papers and read its a an easy a
You learn differently in this class, but keep an open mind, you learn a lot and it can be fun
Show up to class every day and participate. You'll get an automatic A grade just for being a part of class basically.
Confusing , but if you're open-minded, can be a really fun class.
We learnt from the circle of knowledge, she has a lot of materials that gave us more insight on sociology and the real world. She is a pleasant woman and always ready to work with you. Take this class.
I highly recomend to take her. She is the best prof in hcc. Its very easy A . No quizzes or tests. The only thing you have to do is to write what you learned from the class, and keep all the hands out because you will need them when she check your binder and the essay you write at the mid and final term.
This is not the class to take if you value structure and lectures. You will write 2 papers every week and then read what you wrote. You will read ALL THE TIME. Show up and do your papers and you will be fine.
attendance is mandatory, and its a different class set up. you sit in a circle and discuss sociology.
Professor Clay is by far a nice and easy going person. Perhaps her class structure is a little different than the normal. Her classroom is set up in a circle, participation is a plus. Be ready to read out loud in class..... Definitely an easy A and funny!
I recommend taking this class. Professor Clay embraces everyones different point of views and creates an environment where people feel comfortable in doing so. It is free spirited where you can write the required shorts papers on any topic of your choice as it relates to sociology and sharing with the class is a requirement. Attendance is a MUST.
You have two, two page essays due every week about the last class, group projects and essays, she runs on about unrelated information and doesn't grade anything.
She is the best prof at hcc. The only thing you have to do is to wright two pages about what we did in class everyday we meet. She dont care about grammers and what you wrote in the paper, she only want you to write anything even a joke or a conversation with your friends or anything happened in the class.
Complete randomness and no structure. But fun
She is the best�� Its very easy class, all you have to do a one gorden rule paper, and to write a paper every class about what you do in the class or what you learned, just write anything even a joke between you and your friend.
She is the best, easy class, take her you wont regret it.
The best professor at hcc��������
Absolutely no structure and you will always be confused. With this, the class is so easy and you just write random papers and turn it in at the end. Soooooo easy but boring and all over the place.
Class is unorganized, but it is an easy pass just get ready so write a lot, easy A as long as you go to most to all classes.
You cant understand her , yet repeats herself like 10 times , she saids one thing yet its another completely whole different thing . Do not recommend this teacher
Participate. Writing will be a must and almost every week but its at a very capable pace. Would not do this with English class but with a mix of all your other courses this is a very passable and one of a kind class. If you are great in open discussion type of learning with other characters and without judgement then this is your type of learning.
Communication between your teammates is essential. She does not post everything on Canvas, so write down your objectives and everything. Daily two page essays would leave you prone to burnout throu gn out the semester, but the essays are otherwise leniently graded.
Please dont worry about bad reviews. she is an awesome professor. The only thing you have to do is to write a page for each class meeting. Just write what happened in the class or what you learned, just anything. she dont read it, but she might ask you to read it in class. No mid no final exam if you do all writing papers for each day.
She is the best professor at hcc, I highly recommend her.
Show up everyday and write 2 pages double spaced OPINION based paper from previous class. Take all handouts and papers you wrote and put into a binder for the whole semester and you will receive and A. Its not your typical classroom environment but give it a chance. If you dont show up. You wont pass. You have to be there participate.
OMG, I have no enough words to explain how much I love her. She is absolutely the best,its very easy to pass her class with an A specially for students whos English is not their first language.
Absolutely no structure in the class. Had a midterm recently and our binder check was barely explained, so I was missing some things that she told us were supposed to be in the binder THE DAY OF the midterm. You wont understand what shes trying to explain. Plus havent actually learned anything about sociology, just her poems. Easy class though
Trust me, she is the best and easiest professor in hcc. Do never look at the bad comments, I dont how could they rate her like that. Just do your work which is a page of writing what you did in class, just anything even if you write about your friends in the class she wont mind. You will get an A for sure.
She is very nice and sweet yes, but not organized AT ALL. This is coming from a straight A student. She asks for work that was never assigned. When she does binder checks, she will tell you want she wants, then the day of, she ask for something completely different. Grades aren't put in till the last day of class.. LITERALY.
Every time you go to class you have to write a page paper about whatever she chooses. It is very easy but she is very unorganized and she will forget what she told you to do. We wrote about the same thing over and over again, you have to read your papers to the class. The poems and papers she makes you read make no sense I have so much more to say
She is like a cute little mother, so caring about her students and very interactive with them, best easy class. Opinion based essay due and read aloud every class, and 3 small group projects due. Show up, don't skip, it's graded. About 45 assignments total in the class.
