This teacher is extremely liberal and that's difficult for more of a conservative like me. However,she is very good at bringing new ideas to students and challenges them. She is very willing to help students who faulter on their midterm and will do whatever it takes to get her students to suceed.

I really enjoyed class with her, she kept it interesting and if you payed any attention to the lectures you could do decent enough in the class. The midterm was nothing like the practice exam she gave us, but she gave extra points, and the chance for extra credit. Take her.

This professor is awsome for people who have any amount of intellect. Her lectures are interesting and even at times fun. She's very willing to help students and really cool. But you gotta earn your grade. True the class is difficult but its really worth it.

Good prof! Tests are hard and the course is. Just go to class, overview the book, and don't be afraid to go ask for help. She is willing to help!

I really liked this class. If you just pay attention to the lectures and read the assignments the class is not hard at all. She gives her viewpoint, but also encourages others oppinions. She will even play devils advocate. Makes you think.

really hard class not for freshman

she's not the greatest teacher, but she gets the job done, i passed with a B without paying much attention to her lectures. i remembered most of it from high school for the midterm, the final i actually studied for, need to work for your grade.

Interesting to listen but is hard to take notes and listen at the same time. She added a 3rd test this semester and drops the lowest test score. I don't see how people complain about a bad grade when there are pratice tests in the book and on the website and a lot of those Q's are on the test.

If you are looking for ease,this is not your class,if you are looking at actually learning about how real life is definatly take this class.It will help prepare you for what the Real world is like.She chalanges you to actually think and not just skim a book for answers.

amazing professor. I would take her again if i could. Definitly recommend her to anyone interested in sociology.

What a fabulous professor! The insight was enlightening and I felt it was well worth my time to be there for every session. It is clear that she cares about her students, and was available to me when I needed extra assistance. A tough course but well worth it!

She is a great professor. She challenges you. She makes you think. She is just awesome. She is hard if you're not willing to do the work. But if you do the work and you study and you take notes you will have a blast with her.

Strict, but very fun if you don't make her mad. She's willing to help, and you have to understand how she grew up to understand how strong she is. I personally walked out of her first class thinking, 'I want to BE her when I grow up!!!"

She was awesome...If you just payed attention in class you would get what you needed to know. She's very helpful if you just ask. I barely picked up the book and got a decent grade. Bonus: Her lectures aren't boring.

I think that comment about the getting an A without reading the book is very wrong. You have to study A LOT for this class in order to do well. Reading the book is completely neccesary. A good thing about this class is that her lectures are very intresting so you don't get bored.

Can be a easy class if you actually go to class. everything is done on the computer (quizzes, exams). she does a few in class assignments (usually group things). just read the book and pay some attention in class and you'll do fine. she only cancelled class twice. expect questions on exams to cover some in class material. no homework really.

Jeane is a great prof. She is understanding and is willing to change her syllabus for the best of her students. Her lectures keep me totally alert, and also help me to boost my test scores. Tests include book and lecture, but its book ideas not the nit picky little ideas. People complain because they arn't willing to work and don't want to learn

cool.

Not my favorite class but easy to pass. As long as you read the book and listen to the lectures you're set. She's really interesting and is more concerned with making sure you understand the material and is flexible with her exams.

She get it. Most people don't.

I like her as a person and she's a good Sociologit, but the tests are so hard and I'm not doing that great on them. I might have to drop the class. I'm hoping not to, but that might be the best thing for me.

Yay You! You are totally awesome!

Great Professor!!! She is energetic and interesting during lectures so you can tell that she loves her job. Occasionally she will pop in a movie which is nice every once in a while because it mixes things up. You do have to read A LOT but hey thats what college is all about! Go to class, read, and listen and you will do just fine. She is awesome!

In SOC 101 w/ Lorentzen you never had to read the book, and you got B in the class cuz lecture was great. SOC 362 you MUST read the books, but you can zone out in lecture- all tangents; not helpful. Go, make a good impression by talking once in a while (like after films, there will be a lot)! There is A LOT of reading, but it's all interesting.

Jeanne is one of the best profs I've had so far. She stimulates critical thinking in her students and her lectures inspire thought-provoking conversations in class. There is a lot of reading; however, the reading complements the lectures nicely. She is enthusiastic about teaching and creative in her delivery.

Loved her stories, always made it easy to remember concepts, and funny! Very helpful when approached after class, just wanted you to understand, very passionate. Kind of hard but never unfair. Got to know her personally (after the class was over, I'm not a suck-up) and she is an awesome person.

She has a great passion for her subject and it's relevance to modern day. don't get caught up in her personal beliefs, she loves to state them but wont judge you if you disagree with her. in fact let her know when you disagree. she is a wonderful professor who does not get enough credit.

Great teacher. Really cares about the students and likes to hear differing opinions to help expand thinking. Gives opinions but doesn't demand or ask you to believe them. Gives really good examples from all sides of sociology. Tests are harder but if you study your notes and read the book you will do fine. I barely studied and got at A.

I absolutely loved her! I was sick the whole semester, so she gave me Christmas Break to do my Term Paper. Yes she is tough, but she's fair! She challenges you because she wants you to learn. I love hearing her stories; it keeps me interested in class! Plus, I love her sassy attitude! :) I'm definitely taking her again.

GREAT EDUCATOR! Truly PASSIONATE about her subject and educating students about not only sociological topics and ideas but adequately applying them to present, real world situations! Love, love, love Jeanne! Take a challenge and take this class!

I took this class in the summer so it was only a 6 week course but the workload she had was overwhelming. I was taking another class as well so it was extremely hard for me to be able to do my best. Writing two 5 page papers, a 15 page term paper, and reading 100+ pages in 3 different books every two weeks was ridiculous.

A pretty intense course for 6 weeks. We read 3 entire textbooks cover to cover. Plan on spending several hours reading. However, if you actually do all of the reading and follow her paper guidelines she is a very fair grader. Responds quickly to emails. Good experience overall.

Honestly, if you like reading and memorizing multiple books about the subject take this class but if not, there's no power points to study from and you have no idea whats questions on the exams that will be on the test or from lecture. Although she is very passionate about the subject, lectures can be entertaining with her stories.

Likes to be called Jeanne; uses humor to engage her classes; can pass without going to class but she includes test questions that require you to know what happened in class.

I found this course to be pretty difficult. I would recommend going to class everyday & not skipping because she does put questions on the exams about things talked about in lecture. She is very funny, very nice, and easy to talk to especially outside of class if you need help with anything. Going to her office hours can be really helpful as well.

Jeanne was a great teacher. Her class wasn't very hard so long as you pay attention in class. Grade was entirely based on the exams.

Jeanne is incredibly kind and incredibly wise. Everything about her screams amazing teacher! The class sessions are so casual, and she gets so invested in the success of her students that when I say her lectures are mandatory, it's more because you don't want to hurt her feelings by skipping because she's so nice!

Super fun, smart, kind, but pay attention and read.

Knowledge professor, lots of tests, make sure to read text!
