Great professor. Very clear on what she needs from students in class. She's so sweet, and very open about subjects being reviewed in class. If you fail this class or get anything lower than a B in her class you're just dumb. One of the best professors in QCC- and there aren't that many.
Poulsen id one of the best proffesors at QCC I reccomend anyone wanting to take ss-310 to take her course

Prof. Poulsen is one of the best at QCC. She teaches at a perfect rate and is very thorough with her lectures. Definitely go with her for your professor!!! You WON'T regret it! =0)
Ms.Poulsen is a great professor.She writes her material on the board so itll be easier for you to understand.She answers all your questions.She gives you a review sheet before every exam and that really helps you with the test.I strongly recommend you take her class.Her class is easy =)

best professor ever. she is so sweet and makes class interesting for everyone, tests r a piece of cake, she gives a review sheet day be4 each exam and it's all multiple choice, just study those and its a guaranteed A in class
Jane Poulsen is such a nice lady, it is actually easy to intrest her lectures and is helpful with her students. It is not really a diffcult course, and she is very patient and polite towards the students which is a good thing. Highly recommened for writing intensive or the regular version.
The Best professor I ever had. Professor Poulsen is really good teacher since her writing intensive class consists of two papers, a midterm exam, and a final which is really easy and gives you a chance to revise the papers.She even answers any questions the students have and writes a lot of helpful notes, take her since she is the best.
Professor Jane Poulsen knows how to be nice to her students and she practices it at every class. Her middle-name should be Virtue. Her notes are outsindingly clear, concise, and to the point. Her only negative is that by being so good, she makes most other professors look bad by comparison. I would definately love to take more of her classes.
A really nice lady who knows the subject very well and treats the students well. I actually remember a lot of the material that she taught. very clear and easy to understand.
I took Prof Poulsen for Sociology and she was an absolutely amazing person that taught rather well. I am so looking foward towards seeing her again for Criminal Justice in the fall.
Dr.Paulsen is a great teacher!Very organized and easy to undestand.Just MAKE SURE to revise before the exame..its an ez A:)Highly recommened she is the BEST!!!
Jane Poulsen taught the class clearly for the students to understand and the discussion were very intresting to get involved in. There is always a review sheet before the exam and that's exactly what is on the exams and final. I really learned a lot about social behavior, and looking foward to having her again in Criminal Justice.
A really wonderful professor that is a pleasure to be around and teach. She makes the class wonderful and exciting. Poulsen teaches a steady pace so students can understand why she talks about. I am really glad that I took her again for Criminal Justice.
A really great professor that makes the class experience enjoyable. I will admit that taking her again for a 2nd time for Criminal Justice is rather intriguing. Teaching style is the same just like in Sociology with review questions for the exams which makes it easier to study. The best part is that she is polite and friendly towards the students.
I am really hoping taking Jane Poulsen again for Criminal Justice this time around. I find learning about the different concepts and theories of law to be rather exciting. There are plenty of opportunities to pass with three exams and three extra credit assignments. Very organized and easy to understand.
This Professor is very informative and knowledgable about Criminal Justice. The class goes by very quickly and you never get bored in the class.
Really wonderful teacher that makes the class engaging and fun. I was amazed how much I would learn in Criminal Justice and I got an A- in the class. One of the best professors at QCC for Criminal Justice and Sociology.
I actually had a blast in Poulsen's class since her lectures are always interesting and tend to get the student's attention. She was a great teacher that never bored the students and was polite. Wonderful experience in Criminal Justice and Sociology.I felt that I actually remember most of what she taught.
I really miss Jane Poulsen, since she is one of the best professors around. She explains the material well and actually manages to keep the students attentive. In Criminal Justice, she gives 3 extra credits assignment to boost your grade up. I love the fact that she gives a review sheet for the exam.
You will not regret taking this professor, since you never get bored in this class. I also loved the fact, that it goes by rather quickly. She is a great teacher for either sociology or Criminal Justice. It amazing that you walk away from her class learning a lot. She is very respectful and has a smile on her face.
One of those class in which you are never bored. I was amazed how quickly 50 minutes can go in Poulsen's class, but she somehow manages to do so. I had a blast and others will enjoy her laid back teacher style.
I must say she is a extremely kind. I was constantly late for class and have excessive absences, but still manage to get an A! that's very kind of her. just copy her note and study, her note is extremely helpful for the tests. then, you will do fine.
Jane Poulsen truly is a wonderful human being. She doesn't count attendance in her class. Her review sheets for the exams are extremely helpful, which makes studying in her class much easier. She is wonderful for both Sociology and Criminal Justice. I recommend taking her since you learn a lot and I still remember what she taught.
I took her for both Sociology and Criminal Justice and I will say that she is really wonderful as a teacher. She makes the class very well organized and interesting enough. She even gives you a review sheet for the exam and that is exactly what is on it. She allows allows a makeup day for people that missed the exams.
easy class just copy the notes and study the questions in the syllabus and you'll get an easy A!
she is great!! i wish she teach other classes for CJ. she is very Organized. not a bored class.. very intersting class... she knows her stuff. I just Love her... this was the best decision ever....
I also wish that she taught other classes than Sociology and Criminal Justice since she teachers her classes very well and is organized. You never get bored in this class and even gives extra credit. There is also extra credit opportunties and a chance to make up exams if missed. Really wonderful person and teacher.
F. 2011. Well organised, text books are requirements... not to bring to class of course. Since this is a WI course, be aware of the fact that you have to write papers(CHOICES GIVEN) And yes... study! You'll do great...! Review Sheets are available.
One of the things I love about this teacher is that the reviews sheets is pretty much what will be on the exam. Her writing intensive class is pretty easy.
Poulsen was very clear with notes. Her tests were fair and it covered everything learned in class. She hated disturbances and disliked when students came in late. She gave extra credit only for the first test: a total of three tests. I suggest to study for her tests. Participate!
She's so nice!! She hates when you talk while she's speaking. Other than that, she's so funny and her tests are easy. She gives you a sheet of the questions on the test from the 1st day. Only 3 tests, super easy. Just need to study. RARELY used book. Only for readings, 3 or 4 times. Can photo copy from library. Highly recommend. Amazing dr!
she is nice teacher. if you participate and read her notes you will be fine.
She gives you a study guide which if you study, it is exactly like the test. There are two books she asks you to get but you only need to buy the smaller book that she compiled together. Nice and helpful. Definitely take her for an easy A!
I will admit that Jane Poulsen since a great teacher since she has a great personality and her classes are enjoyable. She is great whether you have her for Sociology or Criminal Justice. I like that she gives a rather helpful study guide for exams which is pretty whatever will be on it. She even has a makeup day for those that missed an exam.
Professor Poulsen's a great professor. She doesn't give out homework, attendance isn't mandatory, nor she uses the textbook. Your final grade will consist on the 3 test that she gives out throughout the semester; Which are fairly easy. She supplies everyone with a very useful vivid study guide for the exams. Take her, her class is very easy!
I will admit that I loved this teacher since she is very kind and respectful. She treats students as people unlike some other professors. Her study guides for her exams are exactly as it appears on the test. She even allows a make up day for anyone who missed an exam. There is also an extra credit opportunity as well.
The way she teaches is somewhat boring, but passing her class is a piece of cake. Attendance isn't mandatory, she doesn't assign any homework, nor participation plays a factor in your final grade. Your final grade consist of the three test that you'll take. Which are fairly easy.
I will admit that Jane is a wonderful professor and I wish that there was more teachers like her since she is really cool. She is not fussy about attendance but the 3 exam grades count towards your final grade. Overall a pretty good course on criminal justice.
I took her class in spring 2012, I still miss her class( I'm now in other 4 year universtiy). She is best of best professor for sociolgy subject that I have ever had .
Study guide is the key to pass. Attend class and just take notes on the board easy grade.
I had Jane for the Fall 2007 and Fall 2008. She was one of the best teachers that I ever took at qcc. she is very kind and generous. Her review sheets for the exams were very helpful and gave extra credit. There was even a make up day for any exams missed which is something not done by other professors.
BEST TEACHER...GIVES REVIEW SHEET AND ALSO TAKE TIME OUT TO HELP HER STUDENTS.....JUST WRITE DOWN ALL THE NOTES N U WILL PASS...ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS AT QCC
She is just amazing, Explain everything to the last detail. If your a criminal Justice major take her. 3 test base on the notes, Make sure you take the notes
I love Jane Poulsen since she is such a wonderful lady. Her exams are based on her notes and she gives an excellent study guide which is pretty much the whole exam. There is also a make up day for those that missed any tests. Extra credit is also given as well.
I love love love this professor! She's super clear and easy to understand. Her test are marvelously straightforward. She has all her lectures on blackboard, and her syllabus contains test study sheets for exams. You really need to take notes or either print out the notes otherwise you're stumped for the exam review sheet.AND she gives extra credit!
Great class!! Has a textbook but as long as you attend, take notes and use her exam sheet review you will do fine. She gives extra credit and is really interesting. Exams are straight forward.
She is the best, makes her class fun and gives great examples. Her exams are eeassssyyyyy as long as you study, love her technique of teaching. Great professor, I recommend her.
An amazing professor, she's very clear in what she wants as well as very interesting. I loved her class.
She is the best, I highly recommend her, I bet you would love taking her class.
she's honestly amazing, i learned so much and her class goes by so fast, best professor ever in my opinion.
She's very good teacher for sociology. Her exams are easy just study from her power points. However, she will not give you an A because she think it's too easy to get it.
Best professor ever! She makes the lecture interesting and fun. I've learned so much! Powerpoint is already on blackboard, so you don't have to write a lot. No essays, no hw, no projects. just 2 test and a final. Exams are sooo easy. just study everything on the review sheet and you'll pass. Must take her!
Easy to pass .
Honestly she is one of the best professors at Queensborough. I took her last semester in Sociology, and I liked her so much, I took her again for criminal justice. Her lectures are amazing, and her tests are fairily easy, as long as you answer the questions on the study guide she gives you. I took her twice and would take her again if I could
She's very nice but since it's a huge lecture she doesn't have a chance to get to know the students personally, but overall it's a class worth taking if you need the credit. Her tests are a little challenging with the wording so you definitely need to study and she isn't harsh with attendance. Course material is pretty simple to comprehend.
Shes a great professor. she gives extra credit in class which really helps out your grade. her lectures are interesting. She doesn't give homework, but some readings are required. Her tests are fair and gives you a study guide which tells you whats going to be on the test. Should be a easy passing grade.
She is really good. Expect quizzes, but nothing too hard
Professor Poulsen is a fairly easy and great professor. Her classes were one of the most easiest and straightforward classes I took in Queensborough so far. All you have to do is show up to class, go over her lecture PowerPoints from class which she posts online, and score high on the 3 exams and 6 quizzes, which really boosts up your grade.
Professor Poulsen is a good professor. She is very helpful and makes the class interesting . The class wasn't hard and if you read the powerpoint you would be good. Also she gives 6 easy quizzes and drops the lowest grades. She is willing to help students and her lectures are fun and she made the class fun with a movie , videos , and fun topics.
Straight forward, really easy. Take her if you can, she's really good and you'll get a good grade.
Great professor! Very nice and respectful . She gives a study guide for all 3 tests which are directly from her PowerPoints. She also gives a total of 6 quizzes based on readings but drops the lowest quiz grade . Highly recommend !
Honestly, you can pass the class with an A if you study and you have a and good memory. I find that she is not a good person, she never liked me and I can careless. I kept it civil. She is good professor to be honest, take her just don't raise your hands a lot in class because she will ignore you. Some people are ignorance
She is the best. Five quizzes and three tests. Got an A!!
She's so nice and she actually cares for her students. Great professor.
Dr. Poulsen was great. Her lectures were very engaging and she makes all material relatable. She provided a study guide with the syllabus which made things so much easier when tests came around. She's super easy going with make up tests. I would take her again no doubt
She is really great! VERY CLEAR SYLLABUS ( it has study guide questions for your exams) DO NOT LOSE IT!!! You will get a GREAT GRADE easy if you take notes and study!
Take home pop quizzes, It will always improve your grade! The exams just look at the syllabus and you will just passed! She does not give out homework it's just the take him quizzes. But you always have to print out the slides! You don't need to but, you should because she sometimes write important things on the white board! So catch that!
She gives a take home quiz every week & drops the lowest one. Not so much a good professor very heavy on lecture wasn't clear about anything she says.
Professor Poulsen is absolutely awesome. She makes the topic of sociology seem extremely interesting and all of her lectures and what she teaches is relatable to the real world.
Clear syllabus, 6 quizzes and drop the lowest, 3 exams in total with 32 questions. She makes sociology seems very easy to understand, encourages questions and able to answer some current society issues.
This was my first semester at Qcc. Yesterday was my Sociology final and I got an A. The professor is amazing. She is the best sociology professor at Qcc! 3 tests in total including the final, and weekly quizzes at home. Shes very heavy on lecture but make sure you catch everything. THE BEST EVER, Take her!!!!!! Wont regret.
I didnt buy the textbook and I got a A- , shes super clear on her grading. We had 6 quizzes on blackboard ( theres no need to get less then 100 since you can keep taking them over and over) the lowest quiz grade is dropped. Theres two exams and one final. Also all notes on online, so youre not writing many notes and theres no homework!!!
Professor Poulsen is an awesome sociology professor. She gives you 6 quizzes(drops the lowest one), 3 exams(including the final) and all of her notes are in PowerPoints. Provides clear syllabus and study guides for a head start. She's a super sweet and interesting lady. Take her, you won't regret it. Thank you professor for this awesome semester.
Just follow the PowerPoint and anyone can get easily 90 above.. Best professor for sociology at QCC..
She is a very nice and caring professor. Her class is not hard at all. As long as you pay attention and study you are going to do great. Her exams are pretty straightforward. I highly recommended her.
Professor Poulsen will have you fall in love with both her and the topic of sociology. She's an easy grader and her charming personality and knowledge can help sprout a seed onto future sociologist. She relates real life situations into her lectures and we watch videos in class. I'd love to take her again and I'm sure you'll all love her as well.
She's a very fabulous person. Her exams are easy if you study and all of the work is easily relatable to real life situations and we even watch videos and even a movie. Would recommend her to those who needs a social science electives and I would personally take her again a 1000 times more.
It's an easy class and as long as you study ahead of each exam you should do fine. One great thing about this class it's that there's no homework and all the notes are on ppt slide. There are total of 6 online quizzes (drop lowest) there's no limit of how many times you can retake the quiz and 3 exams including final.
YOU WILL PASS. She is very nice and gives no homework at all. Quizzes are really easy.
Easiest class youll ever take you wont regret it. Just come to class and study for the exams and youll do great.
Great professor!!
She was simply amazing, I loved going to her class!! If youre an incoming freshman(like I was) and need a feel of what college is like, take her. She posts PowerPoints on blackboard. She gives out a syllabus with every lecture and corresponding chapter in the textbook. Just come to class and skim through textbook and youll pass.
Super easy class if you take good notes. Pretty straightforward lectures and easy tests. Gives 30 questions on the tests and six quizzes with the lowest score dropped. If I could I would definitely retake this prof. Gives review guide and basically all the information is on there or just plain common sense.
She is really good. You understand the material clearly with her. Her tests are almost the same thing as her study guide. She gave us three test. Also, she gave us 5 quizzes which theyre from readings she makes you read. So they super easy. Take notes in her class.
I definitely would take her again if I could �� I didnt become close to her much but her lectures were very clear and engaging. You understand topics more as she sets example that are relatable. Plus she gives you plenty of chances passing this class, just do the quizzes based on reading and do the study guide for tests. Overall great experience!
Amazing professor explained everything really really well got me interested in socy. When the pandemic hit and we suddenly transferred online during the spring 2020 semester, the class became async but still an easy pass.
No lecture when online, she seems like a really nice professor pretty easy work, do it before the due date and you will be fine. Work is super light and actually very interesting discussion boards 10/10 teacher. Would take her 20 more times if i could lol.
She was an amazing clear professor, very responsive via email. Easy A. Yes some reading, and Power Points but it is expected in college. Clear grader. Would recommend.
Very good Professor for SOCY101. Would recommend to anyone who needs the course. Quizzes are spread out throughout the semester and discussion board participation counts as attendance. Take her.
I took this as an online course and Dr. Poulsen had the semester very organized. She provided a powerpoint each week for every lesson and all tests were based on her provided powerpoints. There were no papers, only 3 exams (nothing cumulative), and discussion boards for each new lesson. She communicates through email and responds quick. Take her!
Dr Poulsen is very easy-going and respectful to her students. This class is easy to pass as long as you STUDY, take notes, complete all 5-6 pop quizzes (online) and get a 60 or higher on exams (2-3) which she provides a study guide. The lectures are the notes that are provided online but she explains them further so we can remember and understand.
Honestly her class is very light as long as you study for the exams. The quizzes are easy to do online and she drops the lowest quiz grade if you miss one! She is very nice and understanding so I recommend you take her for SOC101
I took Soc101 for Spring 2023 online with professor Poulsen. We had weekly DBs, quizzes and tests. A book was required, but her PowerPoint slides are enough to prepare for the tests. We had 6 quizzes/10q each based on articles and 3 tests/34 questions each based on PowerPoint slides. With just a little bit of reading, you could get an easy A.
Great Professor, definitely would take this class again.
By far my favorite professor. Her lectures (slideshows) are easily accessible and her study guide helps with the exams she gives (3). She posts reminder announcements to turn in work (god bless her). Her work is organized and it's easy to find lectures and whatever is due that week. Highly recommend her class.
Prof. Poulsen's SOC101 class is a breeze with weekly quizzes, easy exams, and helpful PowerPoint slides. Unstuckstudy is a great study aid alongside the textbook. Recommended for an easy A!
I took this class asynchronous so all we had to do was complete tests and quizzes online. That's all I remember doing, I don't recall any communication between me and the professor.
very intuitive and comprehensive in terms of trying to convey a topic to the students.
