She is hilarious!! She's from the North...so she can be very funny, in a good way. She really enjoys what she teaches and she wants her students to enjoy her class as well. I really like the course; I intend on taking her again. I would recomend anyone to take her for any Sociology courses.

Dr. ****en is really helpful. She does talk about herself at times only to help us understand and relate more to the topic that she is talking about. She doesn't make you read the textbook but suggest you to read the article books. she points out what's going to be on the test. also, if you are not open minded then sociology is not for you.

I had no intention of enjoying this class. However, she is an easy grader when you read her notes and watch the videos. She allows so much room for creative responses.

You'll learn a lot about The Handmaids Tale. It's really interesting, especially if you join the live Zooms.

This is an overall review for Fagen. I've taken many courses with her and she's absolutely amazing! Even though some assignments require a lot of brain power, I found her courses enjoyable. She's super understanding and an awesome professor. I believe study guides were offered and were very helpful. Assignments are manageable and insightful. 10/10!

I've taken all of Professor Fagen's courses. Throughout each course, several things remain the same, her love for the subject matter she teaches, her knowledge of the subject matter, her consistency in how she teaches, and the care and concern she has for her student's success. She genuinely wants you to succeed! A great instructor!

Took single women in the US. Loved her! Wish I'd found her sooner because I'd have taken more classes with her.

I've taken 3 of Fagan's classes so far, and I've loved all of them. Interesting material, tests are based on the readings, discussions are in-depth.
