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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
