She is a great professor and even better person. Is willing to meet with students whenever and helps however shes can. Good class

Doesn't take attendance ever, but it is hard to keep up with the material if you frequently don't show up. She is a very sweet lady and her lectures are relatively interesting, but the tests are probably harder than necessary for a 101 class. There is no homework so you are graded solely on 3 tests.

Hanne is super nice and willing to take the entire lecture to talk with you to make sure she's understood. That being said, some of the lectures can drag on. Many of her test questions come directly from the podcasts and articles, and if you didn't skim them at least, you would be lost. I got an A and two Bs on the test, so its doable.

Hanne is a very nice woman and does care about her students but her class is much too difficult for a 101 class. Way too much reading and podcasts. Show up to every lecture and you will still know almost nothing on the exams. Only 3 grades: 2 tests and the final.

1 participation assignment, 1 homework and 1 test due every week. LOTS of reading and podcasts you have to listen to. It can be time-consuming. Questions can be confusing. Average of 5 lecture videos with every module. She cares about her students and gives you extra credit opportunities. She makes it easy to understand though. I recommend her.

She was very thorough and posted to BB multiple times a week to update the class. Had easy discussions once a week and then had to respond. The tests every week were all on quizlet. The final was NOT on quizlet so prepare for that but by far one of the easiest classes and nicest professors

Her class was my favorite class and I genuinely enjoyed taking the class! She has a variety of learning materials that ranged from news articles to podcasts and recorded lectures. If you read the assigned textbook and actually listen to the recorded lectures and podcasts you should be fine in this class. Do the assigned work cause it adds up!

I love Hanne. Like so much. For asynchronous online 101 you have about 5 lecture videos that are between 5-15 minutes, a podcast, and a textbook chapter or other reading. Tests and HW are super easy if you even skim. She cares about everyone so much and is very accessible and knowledgeable. Can do all the work for the week in 3ish hours. TAKE HER!!

This class was not difficult at all! She is super sweet and thorough. There is a lot of course work, but she is very well organized and everything is due at the same time each week so you get in a routine and its not hard to remember when things are due. As long as you stay on top of your work youll be fine! 10/10 recommend.

I absolutely love Hanne, she is a wonderful and caring person. The textbook and podcasts can help with homework and tests. The tests are kinda difficult but it helps to review old quizzes and familiarize yourself with concepts and the ending findings of experiments. The lectures are essential to passing so make sure you listen to them as well.

I absolutely loved Mrs. Van Der Iest! She was the most organized and caring professor I have had so far. She is very clear on due dates and sends reminders throughout the week. As long as you stay organized youll be fine. Theres a module each week with a homework assignment due on Fridays and a small test each Sunday but they are all open note!

Professor van der Iest was honestly so amazing. The content of the class is extremely interesting and the readings she assigns are a breeze. She's organized and very easy to reach out to. Not hard to pass the class if you keep up with due dates and the readings.

I loved Professor van der lest! I took sociology 101 in the summer, online, and asynchronous in 3 weeks. She assigns a decent amount of readings, but I enjoyed her lectures and the assignments were not too hard. She cares about her students and I would definitely take her class again! Also, there weren't any papers.

I loved Professor van der Iest! I had her this semester for SOCY101 online and she was great! The modules every week can be a lot of material and time consuming, but if you do everything you will do well in this class! I would highly recommend taking her!

Professor van der Iest is the BEST teacher! She put so much work & thought into her online sections to make sure we were engaged & staying on task. She had regular check ins with her students to make sure they were doing well in her class as well as other classes. She uses external sources so it's not all out of a book. She's literally the best!

by now I've taken a couple of online courses and I can really say that this was one of the most well formatted and thoughtfully organized classes I've taken. Sure her questions aren't straight out of the text but if you understand the concepts then you can answer the questions easily. I will say you do need some time management skills to keep up!

Despite the grade I received, I thoroughly enjoyed taking this class. The lectures were always helpful and she never made them boring. However, we basically had to take 2 tests a week which continuously brought my grade down a bunch until it just stayed at a 68%. There are little to no opportunities for extra credit, so get all your work done.

She's probably one of the best professors I've had. I'm retaking SOCY 101 because I received an 86 and I know I could get a higher grade if I actually put in the effort. She is very sweet, her lectures aren't boring and it's honestly an easy A. I didn't get an A because I barely put the effort int her class. She's awesome. You can easily get an A.

This is the best online course I have taken. She is not at all boring, clearly enjoys what she does, and cares about your success. It is asynchronous, but she communicates with us almost excessively. It never feels like you're on your own. It is also incredibly well structured; you know what is expected from you and can easily set a routine.

She is a really kind professor and cares about students learning the material. The class does have weekly assignments to keep up with but they never took more than an hour per week for me and it feels like I got a lot out of a class I had only signed up for to fill out my schedule.

Very easy online class. There are two weekly hw assignments and a weekly test. Nearly everything is on quizlet or can be answered by a quick google search. I never spend more than an hour per week on this class. She assigns a lot of podcasts, readings, and lecture videos but they are not required so I never do it and still have a 95 in the class.

Consisted mainly of lecture videos, podcasts, participation assignments, homework, and tests each week. Tests have about 8-12 questions in 30 minutes, while homework is untimed for the same amount of questions. It only seems like a lot of work just because it's online and you actually have watch the lecture videos, but it is not bad at all.

Tests are open book. Its honestly just a read and comprehend kind of class. If you understand the readings and the lectures then you will be fine. This was one of my "relaxing" classes as I spent 3-4 hours per week doing the homework, reading assignments, lectures, and tests.

I love this prof! Weekly there are readings, a podcast, and lecture videos. You are graded on your homework, a quiz, and a class participation assignment per week. Her lecture videos are incredible and I love listening to the case studies depicted in the podcasts. I highly recommend her as a teacher!

Easiest class I've taken in college. Workload is manageable and quizzes were open note. Professor was entertaining and put in effort to connect and check in with students weekly despite the class being mostly asynchronous (due dates every week but no formal meeting times). Highly recommend taking this class it was interesting and helped my GPA.

There was a test every week, 12 multiple choice questions. The tests are timed. A home work assignment that was 9 multiple choice questions. You get 2 chances on the homework. Take really good notes on your computers so you can hit command F. It takes about 5-7 hours a week to complete.

Professor Hanne van der lest is an amazing professor; however, there is a lot of work in this course. It requires about 7 hours a week in lecture videos, readings, and TED talks. The homework is easy, but the test is difficult and timed. She does drop lowest HW and test grade which is helpful. She also is very easy to talk to about improving.

If you are considering taking SOCY 101 online with Hanne, DO IT! It is honestly the easiest class you could take for a humanities credit, and it only requires a few hours a week (4-5 tops). Hanne is super sweet and easy to reach if you have any problems.

She's such a sweet lady and does monthly check-ins about how you feel in this course. However, you do have to watch lectures and podcasts for the material. There's weekly hw and quizzes, but questions are found online or mentioned in the lectures. Easy class and gives extra credit work

This was definitely a "chill" class. The content is easy and interesting, Prof. van der Iest is hilarious, and the workload is moderate: some readings, a podcast, lecture videos, homework, a participation assignment, and a test each week. You can knock out each weekly "module" in about 3 hours. Plus, I came out of the class having learned a lot!

Prof Hanne was so sweet and caring about her students! She does give a lot of work and the tests she gives weekly are a bit difficult if you don't complete the work she gives before the test.

This was an online asynchronous class. It does take about 3 hours each week to complete the modules but the homework and tests are all open note and easy. There is a textbook but you dont ever really have to read it. She really cares about students and offers many extra credit opportunities to boost grades. Definitely recommend taking this class!

Literally an angel. Kind of a lot of work each week but the assignments are the same each week and due at the same time. Her lectures are to the point and engaging. She constantly checked in on me throughout the semester and is very understanding. No final and drops lowest HW and exam grade. Plus she gives a bunch of opportunities for extra credit.

She is an awesome professor! She was really caring about my situation this semester and was willing to work with me so that my grades wouldn't slip. In addition, she's very knowledgeable about sociology and she conveys the topics well. 10/10 would take again.

Test and Quiz and discussion every week. Decently easy course and Professor Hanne was nice and easy to work with

Easy online class. One quiz, homework, and discussion due each week but most answers are on quizlet or are common sense so it's not much work. No tests or finals which makes the class an easy A as long as you get the work done.

Take this class for a very easy, yet pretty informative introduction to sociology.

take her online sociology 101 class! She is a great teacher and with a little bit of work each week you'll be set for an A.

I enjoyed this class a lot! There were interesting assignments and the professor is very kind. I loved how much of the class consisted of online lectures and podcasts so I could tan or walk on the treadmill while listening to them; sooooo much better than sitting in a classroom. I would definitely take this class again!!

Definitely take this class online for an easy A. Readings are actually interesting and lectures are pretty short. Exams are very straightforward.

I loved her! This class was online, and while you do have to put time in, it's an easy class to succeed in. Her lectures are to the point, informational, and funny. She's very communicative and overall a great professor!

she is genuinely the best professor I have ever had. I took her class when I was taking 18 total hours actually learned in it. she actually treats her students like people. I mentioned to her that the semester had been hard for me, and without asking, she rounded my 88 to an A. TAKE HER. also- everything is open note, no final. She's the best.

Hanne is such a sweet person and although it was a virtual class, I still felt like I knew her. Her online class is extremely organized and easy to follow. The work is weekly, as long as you stay on top of things it is no problem at all. There is no final exam and no tests. I would definitely take her again.

Took online: Actually learned a lot, course is very organized, easy A. TAKE HER. SHES AWESOME!!!

She is great w/ communication - always sending reminders abt upcoming assignments due. I personally never did but ik of a few ppl who went to online office hours and she was super easy to talk with and was very nice! Workload is consistent. 3 graded assignments each week - HW, discussion platform, and quiz. Opportunity for extra credit too :)

Good professor, was great in teaching us during lecture videos.

Took her online but the class was pretty straightforward and easy. She puts a lot of effort into her lectures and content and seems super nice and caring. There are no big exams and all grading is based on discussions and small quizes.

I loved Hanne!! I found her to be incredibly sweet and caring. I took this class online and missed a deadline due to a hard deadline on a research project outside of school, and Hanne took the initiative to email me and ask if everything was okay. There are a few hours of reading every week, but I wouldn't have wanted to be taught by anybody else.

I literally love her. She grades so fairly, straightforward mini weekly quizzes and homework but all the answers are in the recorded lectures and readings. She is probably the most genuine and caring professor ive had out of all my classes online and in person. The class itself is really interesting and she explains it all in a clear way w examples

Professor is very nice and gives extra credit opportunities, but this class was much harder than necessary. Each module's quiz was very difficult, and each module had an insane amount of readings needed to do well on the quizzes. Maybe the in-person version of this class is easier, but online had too many requirements just to get an A.

Hanne was caring, organized, passionate, and communicated extremely effectively. All of these qualities contributed perfectly to making it as easy as possible to perform well in this online class. It is evident she truly cares for her students and their success. The class was straightforward, I definitely recommend taking if you need a SOCY credit.

There was definitely a lot of online work to do- 1 hw, 1 discussion post + reply, and 1 LDB quiz each week, along with listening to podcasts and watching lectures, but you just need to set aside maybe 1 day a week and focus on that. Hanne is very accessible outside of class and offers lot of credit! Please don't let other reviews scare you!

Hanne is caring and offers some extra credit. The workload is manageable—about 4 hours a week with one participation task, one quiz that uses LockDown Browser, and one homework assignment. The downside is that the quizzes have only a few questions, so missing one can significantly hurt your grade. Overall, I would take her class again.
