queen of sociology. She definitely knows what she's talking about. She's so open to others opinions, and I love how she enjoys her students debating, so enthusiastic. She has a lot of patience, some students will be incredibly rude or talk over her. Her lectures are really fun and she really wants her students all involved. No regrets on taking her

Amazing professor, the lectures can be long, but she always takes time to explain things to her students in a creative way and often has videos that make her point clearer. She is also very helpful and is more than willing to answer any bizarre questions on the topics. She is for the students and it is shown in her teaching.

No quizzes or exams, however like 3-4 online assignments per week, she expects this class to be a priority for science majors, and the outlines of her assignments are all the same, and you must have read at least 10-20 pages of the textbook to do your assignments, I hope I'm wrong about her.

A bit far out in the game of this website BUT would like to say Professor Joy is the REASON I majored in Sociology. Her class was inspirational, to say the least. She has clear lectures, manageable assignments, and phenomenal projects! If you ever get the chance to take her for any SOC classes at Cerritos DO IT!!! 10/10 Recommend!!

very very straightforward. one film (plus one page essay), a few readings with quotes, and a weekly discussion. you know what to expect each week. NO TESTS OR EXAMS. your grade is what you make of it. is it some work? yeah. but it is not bad at all if you pace it through the week. gets a little repetitive though tbh

She is a really understanding and caring person and fun all around. The class isn't hard at all, and she accepts work no matter how late. The work consists of weekly reading or watching a film and writing a short reflection. The final is a 6-page essay and doing a social change experience. Honestly, just show up and do the work. It's an easy A.

Great professor! Passionate about the subject and I truly learned a lot about sociology. Accepts late work so if you don't pass this class with an A it's honestly on you for not doing the work. I will say there are 4-6 assignments every week so be prepared to not fall behind, and if you do, you can catch up! A lot of reading and discussion posts.

Professor Tsuhako's Soc 210 class is super informative and enjoyable. Easy reads and assignments. The films are great. No textbook required. She's kind and her lectures are really good. All of the assignments and lectures are interesting and good reads. Quite a bit of assignments but they're doable and simple.

TAKE THIS CLASS. Such an easy A and so many easy extra credit opportunities. Professor Tsuhako is also great at what she teaches and she is also very lenient with grading. This is my first time studying sociology and I'm so interested in it that I'm considering minoring. Loved this class, and would 100% take it again with Prof. Tsuhako!

'Textbook' is the readings she provides (no additional costs) There's EC and an optional final. The only thing that saved my grade was the fact that she accepted late assignments! However, that doesn't mean you should wait til the last minute! Schedule your assignments so that it's fair on both ends! Overall great professor just communicate.

She's a very caring and understanding professor. A quote from her that stuck with me was, "Why would I try to make your life even harder than it is?" Do the extra credit lecture outlines to gather points and it'll boost your grade a lot. She's a student herself finishing her doctorate so she's very understanding if you have things going on.

She responds quickly when you email her, she provides excellent feedback on your assignments, lots of reading, but those readings are your discussions, homework, and drawings. Great Professor!

Professor Tsuhako has an amazing teaching style that truly puts her students first. The grading scale she uses makes it extremely easy to pass this class and while she does take attendance, she is seemingly extremely lenient on her attendance policy. Overall an amazing lecturer and I would take her again for sure.

The only reason I said difficult is because the topics can get heavy and it can be hard to hear the information but it is very easy homework. Incredible lectures, some of the best I've ever heard. Firm but kind and her passion for native plants and sociology is respectable and inspiring. Great teaching and great content for films and reading.

Unpopular opinion but I find her class to be extremely underwhelming. I didn't appreciate how she pushes her own agenda onto her students and is easily frustrated when other people don't share her opinions. She's a definition of a hippy professor who preaches about Good vs. evil which threw me off. I also find her to be too idealistic to tolerate.

Such an amazing professor. Her course is already setup so all you have to do is get the work done. I took her in Summer 2024. It's mostly discussions or watching a film or reading a memo and answering questions. There is a final where it asks about your background and I love that she is very welcoming about various people's identities. Very caring!

This social studies class was not a good fit. The professor focused heavily on social and political issues like privilege and victimization, which often overshadowed the actual course material. I prefer a more balanced approach, so I would not take this class again or recommend it.
