She picks her favorites from day one and grades those individuals much easier than everyone else. She is very impersonal and you have to be an aggressive, loud person for her to notice you. If you are shy/reserved, skip this class. Work is easy but class is a waste of time b/c nothing is learned!

Easy A. If you're looking for an general ed course to boost your GPA, this is it. You don't really use the book. Most classes consist of open discussion on the day's social topic. Two or three movies viewed in class, two other papers, a midterm, and final (very quick) and thats it. The only con is she can be a little vague in her directions.

She's an ok professor, but that's about it. Her classes are fine, if no one participates she gets mad but she won't call on anyone which I respect. There is only like 2 papers you have to do with weekly journals you can write pretty much anything in. Her grading is fair but she doesn't give you the exact grade just a letter grade until end of semes

Never provided feedback, I left her class more confused on social issues than I was going into it. She did make an effort to be engaging.

My experience with Chocky so far has led me to believe that she hates her job. She gives the vaguest instructions for assignments and then will give little to no feedback on your work. She gets upset when people ask her questions or complain about how vague her instructions are. She tells people in class not to email her and that she won't check it

This professor is very blunt, and does not always provide all the info needed to complete her assignments. She is sometimes hard to get to answer questions but if you don't participate she gets very frustrated and condescending towards the class. I feel more confused about this subject now than before i took the class.

This is an interesting class if you like to learn about society. She does a good job explaining and you'll understand everything only if you pay attention and participate. She's really big on that and gets easily fed up if nobody answers any of her questions. When you ask about her unclear assignments she avoids answering in an understanding way.

Not a terrible class because she does try her best to explain and cover the course. Participation basically runs the class and she gets pretty pissed if no one answers. She gets mad when people email her with questions. Following all the rules she puts out for papers is the only way to get maybe a B+ at most. slays her pink strand of hair tho

Will outright refuse to elaborate when asked questions about instructions. Sarcastic, condescending and generally rude at times. Somewhat of an easy grader, but does not seem to care for teaching or if students are struggling. Would not recommend and would not take her class again.

This class is tough, but not because of the coursework or course load. Chocky gave us a few papers with directions that made absolutely no sense. She grades things quickly, but barely gives feedback explaining why you got the grade. She is rude and passive aggressive. As long as you follow her non-existent directions, you'll do okay in the class.

Little homework, but many papers and lectures. Cares a LOT about participation. Gives unclear instructions on assignments, refuses to elaborate on them, doesn't answer emails, gives little and unhelpful feedback... She's knowledgeable and the curriculum is very interesting, but I don't recommend her class at all. Especially not in the morning.

listen, she seems like a nice person but I genuinely believe she HATES her job. She is EXTREMELY condescending and passive aggressive. Her instructions/rubrics are unclear and if you reach out to her it will turn into a class lecture. She is very rude. It is unfortunate because the class material itself was great, but she made it miserable.

Easy class and somewhat interesting but she is so rude. Explains everything one time and gets mad if you don't remember, barely answers emails, and constantly rolls her eyes in class. Just made it hard want to learn when she was so passive aggressive. Also claims you have to read the book to pass final, you don't.

This is an easy A. Show up to class and do the weekly journal. The midterm is pointlessly long but still easy. Finally, complete the most straightforward final you will ever do. Sprinkle in two "research" papers, which are also very easy. Even the genuine rocks got a B. If you do badly in this class blame yourself. She is meh, take it as a free A.

Professor Chocky is a great professor. She is chill and with her class being kinda abt politics and issues, she doesnt really pick sides she looks at the gray area. This class is very interactive and alot of group work. Sometimes theres classes that are boring when she just talks the whole time but its rare, also a couple of movies. Easy class

Overall very easy do the weekly journals and the 3-4 papers with the midterm and final and you will be fine. I slept the whole semester and still passed with an A.

Attendance matters, so show up. we did 3 papers, a midterm one of the papers was the final. a lot of reading. threatens you with failing if you don't read for HW. overall her class was easy but she's not easy to talk to.

Her class wasn't difficult, attendence was a grade, and most of class was just group talking about certain topics. However, the teacher was very dismissive and refused to answer any questions as it “was all on Canvas” some of the material was straight foward. But, some of it wasn't and she was easily annoyed by anything. Overall, easy class.

Everyone hates on Chocky but honestly she wasn't bad at all. As long as you pay attention, stay off your phone, and participate every once in a while, she will like you and the class won't be that hard. You don't need to read for every class but you still need the textbook. The midterm and final were both a paper and theres like no homework.

Janet's class is an easy A if you do the work and show up. Use unstuckstudy for study prep - it's a great complement to the textbook. Lectures can be dry, but class participation is key.

The professor is difficult not the class. She is very vague with some of her instructions. When I asked her to clarify she said, "The instructions are clear." There is a textbook, we never really used it. I would still sign on to the online one she provides at the beginning of the semester anyway. She chooses which classes actually count.

The material given wasn't too bad but she was extremely rude and emotionless. You couldn't ask her for anything, she will say it's on Canvas even though the guidelines aren't clear. No quizzes only papers, a lot of group work and oral presentations but you could just sit at your desk when you present. Overall, the class was easy she was just rude.

Professor Chocky in my opinion runs an interesting class with a broad range of topics. The papers are very straightforward, however, if you have any questions, she doesn't always want to answer them. Midterm was a little long, but an easy grade. Haven't taken the final yet. Only homework is reading and journal entries which only take 10 minutes.

Weekly journals easy A. She didn't really use a rubric, or specify much for writing assignments though. Brought the textbook to class ONCE and had one journal about it, still passed without actually reading it. Final is just writing abt class topics so pay attention and remember what was on the films.
