For those who are Sociology major... do not take her! She easy and you really won't learn much except some definitions and notes that she thinks may be important. I found this class a waste of my time, especially for someone that is preparing to transfer to a four year college. The learning level on this class is set for middle school.

Super easy A. Just go to class, copy down the study items and leave. She says attendance is mandatory, but if you attend and leave early, she still marks you present. Her exams are all from her study items. Get a good knowledge of the words themselves without studying them in detail and you'll still get an A.

Very easy class. But if you want to actually learn something, i suggest another teacher. you watch videos everyday, very boring. Most of the videos are stuff that is on tv! Why pay to watch something that you can watch at home. What is worse is when she tells you the definitions...she talks really slow. Better if she just said to look it up.
