I took Soc 2 online with Professor Biondo and I really enjoyed it. She is a great teacher. There's work every week, but it is not hard most of it is your opinion. She gives full credit on everything as long as you do it. The chapter exams are 20 questions and each question is worth 1 point so it's easy to get an A.

Consider yourself lucky to have her as your Prof, I had her as a substitute, and she became the lifeline of the topic. Great energy, great social skills, witty. She cares that you understand what sociology is, but also, how it's applied. I really realized how extremely bad the Prof. was that she covered.

Not much student online interaction, which is great or can be a draw back depending upon your perspective. From an "A" student. Happiness :-D

professor Biondo is sooo caring! lectures aren't boring and work is easy. very flexible if u cant show up for a test. tests are a little challenging because they aren't similar to the study guide but still able to pass. easy homework and gives plenty of time to do it and many times extends deadlines. great professor! always asks for feedback

Second time taking her for a sociology class. Most of the class is quizzes. There is one interview assignment and a couple discussions as well. She offers extra credit too. Don't bother taking if you don't like turning in assignments or reading the textbook as quizzes rely on textbook information.

Taken her twice for Socio online. Great professor. Grades are based on quizzes, discussions, one 3-4 page essay. I took her this semester for sociology 002 and she provides a link to download the textbook for free. NOT HARD, all you have to do is do and turn in all the assignments on time.

I would definitely take a class with Professor Biondo again. She gives great feedback and is very polite. The class was very interesting and I learned a lot about society and how we have evolved over time. Do the assignments and you will pass. I took the online class so the assignments were available at the start of the class. Winter 2020.

Took her last fall and loved her class! She's so funny. Enjoyed the material even though I am a stem major she makes the subject very interesting. She's very understanding as well, she told us she usually requires a presentation for a final but had us not do it because she understood how some people get nervous to present. Highly recommend.

Wouldn't take again

Don't be fooled by the high score. I am an A student, and her class is the most confusing class I have ever taken. She does give a lot of feedback, but you still get low scores after you submit your answers with all your efforts. Sociology shouldn't be like this. . . Just do not take her class

Jills the real MVP haha I had an problem with my FAFSA and she let me crash kinda late!!! It was tough catching up but she helped me and i learned more in this class in just a week than when i tried to take the class last year but had to drop it because of work. I think I could have gotten an A but I missed the last paper.

I think the amount of assignments and the difficulty is reasonable for the class. I definitly learned a lot and didn't have to kill myself for a good grade. I recommend her for anyone. Just do your work and enjoy the class :)

Professor Biondo gives great topics to discuss and makes the class enjoyable. Topics are all new and engaging. She gives you feedback on your papers and participation in discussions is required. Not a lot of homeworks assigned so you can take this class along with possibly harder classrooms knowing that you will have plenty of spare time.

Professor Biondo is hands down amazing! She gives clear direction and is available anytime you need help. She truly cares about her students. She is supportive & caring. She comments on your essays. The feed back is nice. Being that this class was online the comments gave me a clear understanding of what I did good at, and where I could improve.

Professor Biondo is by far one of the nicest, positive professors I have had. Her assignments are clear, she is reachable at any time, and what motivated me the most was her positive feedback. I would recommend her 100 times over. Take her class you wont regret it. Regarding assignments, we had asignemtns and quizzes every wee, tests are open book

Super chill and approachable. Allows you extra time on assignments if you contact her without negatively effecting your grade. Assignments are super easy and quizzes are cake. One 3 page essay close to the end of the semester which was do-able.
