The test is really hard! You must go to the class. Always reply your email. :) She is really helpful. You can ask her lots of questions and she is willing to help. We watched some vedios too. You can learn a lot from the vedio. Good teacher!

hard class but u will learn something. The tests are hard, but its not that hard to get good scores if u work hard. BTW, the tests are take home!!! She is fun too!

You are ok during the quarter, but the final will kill you at the end. Easy to get 3.5 since you can take tests home. Recommend for everybody

What a great professor! What a great class! If you like to be challenged this is a class for you. Julie is super nice, very knowledgeable and a very hard worker.

She was not my favorite teacher.

She was not my favorite teacher. The class was totally different than i expected.

she is nice.. helpful, really knowledgeable... but, the tests are hard... this is challenging class... you will learn something new in this class, but this class is not recommended if you expect 4.0...

I'm sad it's taken me this long to post about Julie, but she is absolutely fantastic. As a science major, she taught me a lot about myself, and I spent hours with her after class. If you want to truly grow as a person, take her class, if you want an easy A, don't. While I did 4.0 everything, I worked hard for it, but if you're bright you can 4.0 it

Amazing teacher! Also a generally engaging and intelligent person. You'll get a lot more from the class, as well as a better appreciation of social science in general, if you spend some time talking to her independently.

Her British accent is great! She is a great teacher. She cares about her students and has great stories. Her tests are open book. She tends to repeat herself. She knows a lot about what she is teaching and explains well. Dont be afraid to ask questions and participate in discussions. Watched movies fairly often, they were always fascinating!

She is a great and easy teacher. She gives great examples to clarify what the book is saying. To get a good grsade in the class you must speak up and interact with her alot. She is super easy and most of her test are open book.

Best teacher I've ever had. If you're looking for a class that will really make you consider what you believe, take one of her classes. You have to put in the effort, but as long as you do it's completely possible to get an A. Her classes are engaging and fascinating.

hard class. good information. really like the prof.

Great instructor! I was struggling in class but ask for help and recieved it!

Very hard class but well worth it! For our class, she did 1 take home test (which is a lot harder than her in class tests) The questions can be vague at times and you definitely need to study and take notes!! Please Please consider how hard you are willing to work, how important a 4.0 is and how much interest you have in sociology.

Hard class. Liked the take home exam a lot better than the one in class. Learned a lot. Mrs aldcros is a very funny. I don't think I'll be the same again after this class.

Hard class if you don't pay attention, read or take notes. Great teacher, makes tests fairly easy to take. And pretty much tells you how to do well on her tests and usually lets you work in groups.

Learned so much from this class though it wasn't what I expected. This was my first sociology class.

Great class.

took criminology and sex and gender from dr adcroft in fall last year winter this year. i learned so much. both classes had research papers but we got a lot of help on them. two exams and a midterm and a final were take home and relied heavily on the text. you have to read the text to pass. don't go to class if you havent read what your assigned

LOVED everything about this class. Scary good professor.

She is from Liverpool. So fun just to listen to her. She is interesting. Topic interesting. Text, not so much. Hard to chug through it.

Class lecture was interesting, her examples fascinating but I am number grade kind of person. Tests pretty tough, an median, to her, of 74% is good. Also can get less that 50% on her Q of the day. Research paper worth 20% 2,000 words, then present using PowerPoint to the class is worth 15%. She empathizes, "this is a 200 level class."

She's very passionate about the subject. She's challenging but you learn alot of great material. Not a hard teacher by any means but she does put you to work. A fantastic teacher and the best of all the classes I've taken so far.

Awesome instructor. Knows her stuff, and I learned a lot from her. At the time I had her class I wasn't entirely sold on her, because she really challenged my world view. Looking back its made me a better, more open minded person. Very thought provoking class, everyone should take it

Great teacher! Really understanding and knows her stuff well but isn't pushy about it. Wish we had more time in class.

It was so refreshing to have a teacher that was so obviously passionate about the subject. The class was not easy and she expects you to stay up on reading, movies, articles and anything else she throws at you. Very interesting though! I'd take her again.

Great professor. Knows her stuff but makes you wooorrrk! Its something every other day and pretty much every weekend you should be doing. But on the flip side you do learn a lot which is what matters as you are paying to learn the material. I found her to be pretty cute as well.

This class is relatively easy. You have 5 discussions due every other Thursday and quizzes that open every other Friday. Discussions are a huge part of your grade but they aren't hard, just do them. Julie is really strict with deadlines so don't be late!!! You will do well in this class if you take the time on discussions and 1 assignment.

Julie is a decent teacher, she is passionate about sociology. One problem I had with her though, is when I would ask a question over canvas she was very condescending and rude. She would make me feel stupid over asking something, and wouldn't end up helping me with what I was asking. It's funny, she is very helpful and nice in person.

This was a pretty good class, I finished with a 95%. I would say the hardest thing are the tests ( which are taken online), so make sure you do the reading! Also there are two papers which aren't hard to ace and one presentation. Also, be there attendance is 15% of your grade!

The reviews on here are not that great. Julie gives great lectures and assigns little homework. If you're lazy you will not pass, but if you put in the little bit of time and effort her class asks for you will do fine. She has two big projects,her quizzes are on quizlet if you look, and her class is relatively easy. Put in the time. trust me.

Julie was AMAZING in her availability and her willingness to help. ASK QUESTIONS!! She will always answer and gave great feedback on grades. Her grading criteria was also clear. She isn't the prof for laziness, she expects you to work for your grades. She is also very direct which I loved. If you want sugarcoated feedback, you won't get it.

Ms. Julie is an outstanding teacher. Loved all her lectures, truly, and her british accent was so lovely, even her. She was definitely lenient and nice with me over the course. I would extremely recommend her to anyone, but you just gotta read so much every week to get ready for the tests, which weren't that hard, anyway.

Julie is an amazing professor. She has two big assignments that she grades leniently IF you put the effort. Her quizzes are quite easy and she seems to pull her questions from quizlet. She is very caring and understanding and makes people feel like they belong in her class. Her lectures are like she is having a one of one conversation - admirable

Julie's class inspired me and made me think deeper about real world issues. There is quite a bit of homework that you cannot turn in late, but tests are easy and the material is interesting. There are a few papers to do, which are easy, but time consuming. Overall, Julie is kind and easy to reach if you have questions.

Julie is an great professor! Her lectures are amazing. They are thought-provoking and question your beliefs. Your perspective in life will change a lot after taking her class! Julie does give A LOT of homework though- but on the other hand, she grades very leniently if you put in the effort to do all her homework. Her quizzes are tricky!

very good teacher

Amazing teacher, she is their to help you and understand life through your point of view. Taking her class changed my life.

She is a very good professor, passionate about sociology. If you do all the assigned work and attend class, you will do fine. I recommend her and do not let the negative comments stop you from taking a professor like Dr. Julie.

Overall she's pretty alright. There's a lot of reading and watching of films/movies in her class. The class is mostly made up of discussions, quizzes and a food assignment for your final paper. Majority of people end up doing everything last minute and everything is pretty much handed to you to work with. It's a Pretty straightforward class.

Amazing professor, very very extremely well educated about the things she teaches and share. However, get ready with ALL the homework, it is almost every single day, however they're not too hard if you put in the effort. Get ready for all the long podcasts and movies. Though they are lengthy, they will open your eyes to America.

This was by far the best and most worth my time class I have taken at Green River. I learned so much and really enjoyed going to class everyday. There is a lot of assignments, but they are not hard, and they are things you actually should now. Highly recommend this class

Julie is a fantastic professor. I highly recommend taking any of her classes, especially sociology 101. Taking notes is essential and very helpful on quizzes. There are two big papers throughout the quarter, but there is a clear and detailed outline of what to write about.

Dr. Aldcroft was by far the best professor/ educator I have ever had. I work 12 hour shifts- full time at a high stress job. Julie worked with me on assignments. Without her compassion and flexibility, I wouldnt have been able to take her class. Listen to her feedback, do all reading and HW. The class is worth it. She truly cares.

This class was HARD, it took a lot of work, however - I learned more in this class than any other, and got GREAT, detailed feedback from her on every assignment. ANALYZE and take lots of notes on all assigned materials and you'll do great! She really wants you to learn and cares about what you get out of her class!

Many kick and scream about Professor Aldcroft's classes. Even with such passion, though, they seem unable to articulate why exactly they despise her, and I think this says much more about them than about her. The class is not easy, but it shouldn't be . Try and succeed. You need to read and write, but not in excess. You will think deeply.

Julie is one of those professors where she will challenge you and make you think beyond your limits. She gives you a lot of readings, audios and videos to watch for 2 weeks then you will do discussions which are not too hard but you have to make sure you do all the work. The quizzes are not hard if you do all the work. She is a great person too.

Not a bad class, it was interesting but the assignments were tough. Definitely start on them at least a week in advance to break up study time. There are not many assignments which was nice, but they are far apart for a reason.

As a running start student, I was nervous to take this class, but I loved it. As the quarter is coming to an end, I'm really going to miss this class as well as the professor. She did such a good job with explaining concepts and makes sure you understand. The class itself is so interesting, and I will be taking another course with this professor.

Everyone who says this teacher is harsh or this class is hard is clearly just not putting in the effort. There was two in person classes a week for this quarter and one weekly assignment with a big paper at the end of the quarter. Weekly assignments typically take a few hours for me and then a test every other week which if you study for is easy.
