Amazing professor. Would totally take a class with her again. A+++++
Very caring and knowledgeable professor. Spoke to me about law school and offered a letter of recommendation. Learned a lot in this class tests are fair and everything discussed in the class show up on the test with no surprises. A+++++++++++++
Gives very good, comprehensive reviews before every exam. Seems to genuinely care about her students.
Jamie is an awesome professor and soooo adorable. Whenever you have a question, no matter how stupid, she'll answer it and not make you look like an idiot. She gives a few assignments throughout the semester so those are important to do. Don't worry she's not a hard grader. Exams are super easy. Based on lectures and ppt. Great professor
3 exams. Clear and helpful review sheets.
This is thankfully gonna be anonymous, but, Jamie's really understanding when she herself makes mistakes. I came out to her as nonbinary and she made sure to teach respectability of that in class and use my pronouns. Aside from being a sweetheart, you get all the notes on powerpoint - read them twice, study a bit, and you'll pass easily!
GREAT INTRODUCTORY COURSE !
Great class! Take it if you can
Exams were straightforward. Would recommend this course.
Shes awesome! the powerpoints are the basic ideas but you really have to come to class to know the answers for the tests but she gives a thorough review. midterm, final and paper. I would love to take her again
She's a very enthusiastic, sweet, and open minded which makes the 3 hour lectures(summer session 1) go by quickly. I didn't study at all and skimmed readings. Exam preparation comes in 3-waves in the form 'discussions-review sheet-review' but just the first wave alone was sufficient for me to get 100 and 98 on the midterm and final respectively.

GREAT professor, goes over everything clearly. Do you job and you will get a good grade. (very understandable)
She is AMAZING. He class is 3 hours long, but it feels more like 45 minutes. Take her!
I LOVE HER! She truly wants everyone to do well, just participate. Lectures war 3 hours on a FRIDAY MORNING but i loved going to class. 3 hr lecture felt like 45 minutes. Reviews before every test, i never studied but showed up to every class and the reviews and got above a 96 each test. 2-3 essays that were a page long and super easy. TAKE HER!
Really nice and caring. 2-3 essays, tests were super easy. Just show up and you will do well, she gives a detailed review before the test and one project.
Amazing! This is a great class. Professor Schulman is so nice and knowledgeable. The workload is fair. If you pay attention in class and study, you will do well. Definitely recommend!
This woman is so smart, helpful & wants you to pass. Made this class super interesting. Made up get into small groups from time to time, but it was fun because she made us feel comfortable giving our opinions on stuff; unlike other professors who think they're always right LOL. Easy midterm & final! No quizzes or essays.
One of the best professor in qc. If you go to the class and try to understand the materials, you should be fine. Don't miss any class because she says a lot of stuff in the class and you should not them down, which is going to be on the exam. Great professor. Exam are pretty easy and straight forward.
I can't write any better words about Professor Schulman, she is AMAZING and hands down the best professor I have ever had. She's so sweet and caring and genuinely wants her student to pass. If you show up to class and take notes, the exams will be a cakewalk. She has an in depth review before every exam and it's very useful. You MUST take her!!
She is super sweet and likes to engage students in class discussion. The class is pretty self explanatory. Come to class, follow her notes, and read the text and you will get an A.
She is really nice, sweet and give good reviews before exam. Plus she also gave us candy in Halloween, lol no one does that. Take her, you won't regret.
She is sweet and caring. She wants everyone to participate and engage in class discussion and if no one does, she gets annoyed. She prepares slide slow which you can get access on blackboard before the class starts. Her tests, papers, and project (one presentation) is easy and clearly guided. This is an easy A class. Take her for sure
She is one of the best professors in Queens college. She explains everything so well and if you dont understand anything; ask her again. Shes always ready to help. Accessible outside the class. Clear grading criteria, easy exams just follow the review sheet and attend lectures and note down the examples she gives. She is the best!!!!!
It was an ok class. Focuses on being liked more than anything else.
GREAT CLASS! Professor Schulman is the best!! She really wants everyone to do well and always will explain something if you don't understand it. really recommend the class. Very straight forward. power points are posted to black board before class which is great- she is awesome and so sweet! TAKE HER. you won't regret it!!!
She's awesome!! would totally take her again. really good intro class and really fair tests. if you study you will for sure do well. gives good review sheets and will answer any questions or concerns you have. genuinely cares about het students. amazing professor!
If you have the chance to take her, do it. She's approachable and very nice. If you need something to be explained during class, she won't hesitate to do so.
She cares a lot!! And wants you to do well. But you have to study in order to do well. There is some information that are not on the slideshows so you need to be in class since that information is imp!!If you go to class and listen, then you will do well. She also gave extra credit at the end of the semester which really makes your grade amazing!!
take notes during lectures. write down all the examples she gives. makes it clear what will be on the test, easy A!
Professor Schulman is so sweet and gives plenty of opportunities for extra credit!
Amazing human being. Lectures are clear. Lots of opportunities to improve grade. Easy A!
Love her!!! There is some homework, but she gives more than enough time to get it done. Also, she offers extra credit and it is not hard to do at all! Her lectures are very clear and pay attention because she mentions points that aren't on the slides, but will be on the test. She also does reviews and everything on her review sheets are relevant!
Amazing professor. Couple tests but the study sheets are more than enough. Paper and presentation. No reason you shouldn't get an A if you apply yourself a little.
Amazing professor. Her lectures are very interesting. She puts the slides online but in class she does add extra information that you need for the tests. She gives review sheets which are very helpful. She also gives a lot of optional extra credit which is great. I highly recommend this class. Easy A
She is a amazing professor. Her lectures are so clear,interesting,and informative. If you study, her tests are very fair and straightforward. Her papers have clear instructions. She is accessible from home. She works so hard making sure everyone understands the material. SHe posts the slides on BB which is so helpful. I highly recommend! Easy A!
She makes the material really easy to understand, and what she asks of you is really clear. It's really hard to fail.
Class consisted of readings, tests, and a paper combined with a presentation. Sounds scary, but it was SO EASY! She reads off the slides and adds some info, posts her slides online so you can type as you go. PARTICIPATION MATTERS. She really wants you to participate so read the article and raise your hand, she doesn't bite. Take her class!
she's GREAT! Make sure u show up to class because she says lots of things that aren't on the slides. We took three exams (not cumulative). She gives study guides and a day to review for each exam. She's super sweet and gave lots of extra credit options. I highly recommend her! You should also participate because she gives those who do extra credit.
Never went to class, only the review days. Make sure you do the review sheets, look at the power points and read the textbook.
She gave 3 tests and 3 extra credit assignments. 1 essay during the semester. Barely took attendance. If you show up easiest A, don't show up, just do the review sheets and study them. Textbook is mandatory but its in the library.
This professor is great! She gives a lot of extra credit opportunites so students can boost up their grades! She's also very caring and she's very passionate about what she teaches. Take her if you can!
Professor Schulman is the best professor at Queens College - there's no doubt about it!
Three exams, one final. Review classes are super helpful. Her slides are posted on blackboard but aren't very detailed so either go to class or get the notes from someone else. she lets you know what will be on the exam. she hates when students don't participate. there are lots of opportunities for extra credit. takes attendance every class
Professor Schulman is an amazing professor! She truly cares about each student and is always willing to help. You can tell that she is extremely passionate about her job. There are 3 exams, lowest is dropped, and a lot of extra credit opportunites. There's no better professor than her for this course! Absolutely loved her!
Jamie was a great instructor with a clear grading criteria. As long as you participate and show that you care she isn't bad at all.
Professor Schulman is such a sweetheart! Super caring and sweet. She's always there to help you and answer your questions. She's the best and I would def take her again! Best professor at QC!!
Jamie Schulman is a good, but not great, instructor. The course is worth taking, and she projects well. The course covers a lot of area, but has a tendency to be a mile wide and an inch deep. It is clear that she cares about the topics and her students, but it is also clear that not all of the students care. Worth taking, but could be better..
Her class is amazing! She is so nice and caring. Her class is so interesting. Only thing I did not like was that the class was 300 people and when we discussed articles, it was like she expected everyone in the room to participate, and if they didn't, she would give a pop quiz. Other than that, her tests are straight forward and there isnt much hw.
She takes attendance everyday. There are three tests and they are all multiple choice, she goes over them after the test are done, she also reviews the class before but you have to study the slides and take notes. She makes you work hard for it and keeps an eye out for cheaters! I wouldn't recommend her but she is nice!
Shes so nice!! Really wants everyone to do well. Really great for sure recommend her
she teaches via powerpoint for her lectures so that's self explanatory, gotta get the textbook to teach yourself, show up for attendance and leave. She gives extra credit for exams so DO THEM, and well she's nice until you get loud and it's not for participation. The review sheets are given for each exam.
This class is very time consuming. Calls on students the whole lecture and blames us for being behind on material. Would not recommend taking this course.
Shes so sweet! Always love her lectures
Really wants everyone to do well and goes over everything until everyone understands what we are talking about and offers lots of extra credit!! Def take her
Jamie Schulman is very clear in teaching and takes questions. The tests are very clear and follow exactly what she teaches in her lectures. She does give several pop quizes throughout the semester. There are extra credit options for each exam. Two exams and a final that isn't cumulative. Easy A if you study
She's such a sweetheart. Best professor I've had! 3 tests that are easy. Attendance isn't mandatory. She gives textbook readings but I never did them. Easy A. Would definitely recommend!!
barely made it to an A, so its not an EASY a; you just need to do the review sheets, the questions on the exams get really specific based on readings and lectures that she doesnt share if u missed class, just be on top of little details and general review sheet and you will get at least 90 on exam that she also curves (Ec +5 points) &POP QUIZZES!!
One of the best professor's I've had. Genuinely wants everyone to be successful and is very passionate about the subject matter. The lectures are amazing and she is so nice! The tests are straightforward if you review the material, and there are extra credit opportunities. Easy class. I would highly recommend this professor and class to all.
Great teacher, read the book and participate. Graded on pop quizzes, and 3 tests. Take her!
If you want an easy A, all you have to do is take 3 easy multiple choice exams. This class was super easy. Professor Schulman explains everything with clarity. The only cons are that she wants people to participate, which makes the lecture go by slower than it already does. Other than that, I'd definitely recommend.
TAKE HER! she is a sweetheart. She explains the topic well, and also reviews the previous day topic at the beginning of her lectures so if you couldnt write down notes in last class, you will have a chance next day. TAKE NOTES IN CLASS, whatever she talks about in her class and ppt slides are usually on the exams, and the final is non-cumulative.
The class consists of three tests and an extra credit assignment for each one. Since the class is a huge size she finds a way to include attendance and mark participation. All of the lectures are posted before class but she gives specific information during lectures so make sure to attend class! She is a sweetheart and I highly recommend!
I actually enjoyed her class. She encourages her students to participate for extra credit. Many opportunities to earn extra credit. Reviews before exam. Pay attention to her in class and note what she says. She is caring and best part is you dont have to be 100% accurate all the time. TAKE HER CLASSS! Good luck
Cares about students. Answer's emails quickly. Tests were fairly easy. Overall, solid class.
Easy simple. Go to class write notes, havent read yet but should, no hw just midterms and finals. Easy A shouldnt have any issues
She's a very nice professor, she cares for the students and answers nearly all the questions people ask. She gives work that is clear and understandable and allows lets you know what will be on the next exam so you can study those topics specifically. Offers pretty easy extra credit on every exam which also helps a lot!
First time taking an online class; attendance is not taken but I attended every single class (she records the lecture for you to watch late) More importantly NO home work and tests are literally based off slides* Recommend to attend class- she will tell you EXACTLY what will be on the test and answer ALL questions. Loved her! & Extra Credit was fun
As long as you are present in class and you take good notes of everything then you should be fine. There is a couple of readings to do and she provides a little extra credit assignment. Overall, this class was good.
The class is only 3 exams and they're very straightforward questions. She's also very nice and as big as a class of 400 students, she tries to read all the comments on lectures to keep the class engaged. I really recommend this class.
Professor Schulman is sweet, and provides a relatively easy A as long as you show up to class or watch the recordings. She gives 3 multiple choice tests, which is the only work you'll have to do all semester. Test questions are straight from the notes, and she gives multiple extra credit opportunities. She's not great at teaching, but an easy A.
I loved Professor Schulman! Such a sweet professor who was always willing to help and genuinely cared about her students. She gave so many opportunities for extra credit. She's awesome, I would definitely recommend taking her!
I had her for both Soc 101 and 103 and she's amazing. Material is pretty simple and straightforward. Just show up to lecture and you're all set. Exams are m/c and easy. Offers opportunities for extra credit.
Lectures are not fun, mainly consisting of short powerpoint slides. She takes way too much time focusing on the side chat, it is rare you actually cover the material that you are supposed to. If you take good notes, you will do fine, but do not expect the sessions to progress as she will not move forward unless all 300 students are question free.
Prof. Schulman is amazing! She's really friendly and smart. I love her clear and structured lectures and she pays attention to comments, questions. Three exams with extra credit papers. If you listen to the lecture, you'll do well.
Professor Schulman is a true gem! So kind and caring. She always willing to help you and explains concepts well. She also gives review sheets for exams and extra credit opportunities. She's amazing and an easy A! She deserves a 5/5 overall rating.
Professor Schulman is the best!! This class was a very easy A and I would definitely recommend her to anyone. She's fantastic and offers extra credit. Take her if you can.
super easy class its pretty much self explanatory. As long as you show up and TAKE NOTES you will def do good in the class. She's very understanding and wants everyone to do well. Show up participate and take notes you should do GREAT!
Professor Schulman is fantastic! She's very nice and is always willing to help students. She gives A LOT of extra credit so you have a lot of opportunities to boost your grade. Take good notes, do the extra credit, and you should be well on your way to a good grade. She does like participation.
Professor Schulman is great! She's caring and nice. 3 tests, multiple-choice true and false. Attending lectures is helpful cause not everything is on the slides. She gives extra credit (3 of them) (2 pages each). Blackboard chat brings up interesting topics/questions about the class to discuss during lectures. I highly recommend!
You're only graded by 3 tests, and she expects you to read the readings on your own time to be prepared for class discussion. She likes participation too! Take notes because it will be your KEY for those exams. Keep an open ear! Extra credit offered for every test, which is very light and helpful! She's very nice, definitely recommend.
Pretty easy class but its so boring to listen to her lectures, no one can open their mics or cameras in the class, she doesn't allow students to have group chats in her classroom, which is ridiculous! not a big fan of this class, no work to help with grades, grade is based on 3 tests and 3 extra credits for only 5 points on exam.
3 multiple choice exams, 3 extra credit opportunities for 5 points each. As long as you write everything down during the lectures and make a good review sheet, you'll do good. Nice professor as well.
Super nice prof. She grades only on three tests. Listen closely to what she has to say because she will incorporate outside notes that aren't on the slides. They will be on the test so you want to pay attention to what she's saying. She assigned 3 extra credits which was helpful. Only homework assignments would be to read texts which wasn't often.
Interesting class and fun! Your grade will be based on 3 exams (MCQ). If you take good notes and attend class daily, you will do great. The professor is super nice and caring. Take her!
i love this professor she teaches very well its 3 quizzes and 3 assignments she also puts extra credit.she gives hints on what will be on the test, and boosts your grade if you participate and answer during her lectures,she is super sweet and caring and i would take her again!
If you have the chance, don't even question it, just take her. Trust !!! no writing hws. Your participation gives you extra credit. Her class will save you from so much stress and mental pressure, she understands that we already have too much hws to do. She's also very loving and caring with one of the nicest smiles in the campus.
very nice teacher and the class is very easy. easy A.
This professor was amazing to be sure to pay attention when she give the lectures. The exam reviews are very helpful as they almost always tell you what's going to be on the exam. Make sure to go to the review sessions, participation isn't mandatory but if you do it often and she notices she will boost your grades. Do the extra credits it's easy.
She's great! Really good at teaching! 3 exams, no hw. Just come and take notes (or borrow a friends) and you'll do well. She's super clear with the material and gives extra credit and points on exams based on class average. Uses textbook sometimes, but you can find a free pdf online. She likes participation, but it isn't mandatory.
Professor Schulman is a great professor and teaches in an easy-to-understand way. The class consists of three exams and three extra credits, and she posts all the slides on blackboard. Exam reviews are helpful and will be what's on the exam, so make sure to attend them. I recommend participating since she will boost your grade if you do it often.
Grade is based on a paper and three mcq tests. Everything is exactly what is taught in class. She gives extra credit and curves the test :P
The class consists of 3 exams (there are extra credit opportunities and you get extra credit with attendance). It is lectured base, however Professor Schulman keeps them really interesting. She is such a sweet teacher, and if you want an interesting class and an easy grade make sure to take her course :)
Great professor. She's ensures her students understand the material before they leave and gives great guides. She is caring and her exams are based off of her slides and the textbook which can be found online. No homework and she gives a lot of extra credit. Attendance is mandatory but she posts slides as well. Overall, she's great to take.
Grade is made up of three (50 multiple choice questions) exams. A few non graded discussions. Powerpoints are posted on BB. Show up to the review class before each exam - all material is reviewed and is super helpful! Prof Schulman talks at a good pace and will repeat herself loud and clear. Each exam has an essay extra credit. Take her class!
The sweetest prof. ever! She is so knowledgable and so willing to help. The exams are exactly based on lectures TAKE HER!!!1
The sweetest prof. ever! She is so kind and so willing to help. The exams are exactly based on lectures. TAKE HER!!1.She is amazing. Best prof. ever .I wish ,i could take her again .HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
I loved her. Everything was so organized. No discussion boards too (thank god). No phones. Don't listen? prepare to be called out. 3 exams which make up your whole grade. Extra credit oppt. to boost you exam score. Non-graded reading hw which are discussed in class. Many people skipped out on it which annoys her, so do them! They're on the exams.
During the summer term, I attended this course. I advise everyone to take Professor Jamie because she is patient and does her best to assist each and every student. If a student has questions, she will repeat the material several times until they understand.
Just a really boring class. nothing against her but unless you actually pay attention to what she says you wont know anything. she appreciates participation but doesn't require it grades solely on tests
One of the best professors I've taken in this college. Attendance isn't mandatory but you must come in and take notes, as some are not in the slides she posts. 3 tests and 3 extra credit opportunities to boost your grade. Reviews are very helpful as she gives hints. If only i did the extra credit i wouldve gotten a higher grade. Amazing professor
So far my experience the professor has been great. She is very patience and gentle when she speaks. Just show up and participate if you want. She gives very few homework(it's extra credit assignments up to 3 for all exams for 5 extra points). She even curves your exams as well. I would definitely recommend her for SOC 103!
Tests are really easy if you show up for every class. No home works. Gives extra credit. Fair grader by giving extra points for tests. Lectures are very fast paced.
Professor Schulman is incredibly sweet and helpful. The class has 3 exams based on lectures, plus extra credit for attendance. Although attendance is mandatory, the material is straightforward and the professor makes it engaging. Using tools like unstuckstudy alongside the textbook really helps with prep.
theres about 3 or 4 tests which make up your whole grade, first time im saying this, but some homework would have been nice.
Professor Schulman is amazing! She is so sweet, kind, and always willing to help. She is super knowledgeable and passionate about the subject and genuinely cares about her students. Her lectures are very engaging and she always offers to answer any questions. I thoroughly enjoyed this class because of her. If you get the chance to take her, do it!
One of the easiest class you'll want to take. Very kind and caring professor who lectures good and wants you to pass. You must come in for the lecture though cause she talks about stuff that arent in slideshows. 3 exams with 3 extra credit to boost them. Very very easy A class and great professor
Jamie was a super easy professor and interesting class. You're graded off 3 exams, first 2 being 33% of your grade each and the final being 34%.
She is very chill when grading test, little to assignments and test are extremely easy because she gives a review about exactly what she's gonna put on the test. Overall very calm and caring teacher, easy A in my opinion its just a few lock ins here and there and you're set for success in this class
-This class is super easy, its an easy A honestly - all you need to do is take notes on the things she says - there are couple of readings - she literally gives you some of the questions that are going to be on the exam and their answers
she is great but sooooo much readings and materials
Overall she was nice professor she moves really fast and she makes students answers questions all the time and i never could hear them so it's hard taking notes like that she asks really specific exam questions as well
She was an amazing professor and easily the best teacher I've had. I highly recommend taking her if you want to do well and have an excellent semester.-r
i enjoyed her class. she gives you all the notes, has no homework. she post the slides/notes, but shell go into depth about each topic and really make sure the class understands.
