Ms. Popp is a committed teacher and wants everyone to do good in the class. She makes every effort to provide study guides, in class activities, encourages discussion, and reviews if there is time prior to the test. I will *not* say this class was an "easy A." It is marginally difficult but requires reading, studying, and class attendance.

Mrs Popp is a great teacher. I have not had any teachers like her since I have been at wake tech. Mrs. popp tests are not hard. The papers are not hard. But you do have to participate in her class.

Mrs. Popp means well but the fact is she shouldnt be teaching. We had some students who always talked and she never said anything, we had some students talking about other people's race and she never said anything. Her voice was annoying and as a deliverer of a speech it was terrible. I learned nothing in her class. I am a good student.

Other than she says umm 200 times in 30 minutes, she never stays on topic and doesn't seem to be prepared always for class. She usually will scramble through her notes once a day because she has lost them, she never really seems to go over in class with what is on the test.

If you don't do well on tests then get ready to study (since it is half of your grade with three tests)! The study guides are long and vague and cover a quarter of the test. Not many things she grades, therefore, do the best you can on the other few assigngments. She is not a tough grader and the project and term paper are relatively easy and fun!

Professor Popp's class is one of the best online courses I've taken. She recorded so many helpful videos, going over the readings for each chapter and reviews for tests. She also did a very good job with the discussion boards, I actually looked forward to participating in them most of the time! She very obviously cares and wants to help you succeed

Overall good Professor! I took her online so I didn't really get to know her. However, she is an easy grader as long as you submit work on time and follow instructions. The tests are hard but if you do good on everything else it doesn't affect the grade much. Weekly work is very manageable and easy. Solid choice for online Sociology.

It is obvious that Professor Popp loves what she does, and she makes consistent efforts to help all students. The coursework is not heavy and is clear (expect a weekly chapter, slides/text notes, and a discussion board or analysis assignment) and when there are projects (one essay and a formal project) plenty of time is given. I loved this class!
