Best teacher I have ever had since being in college she gives so much extra credit that you cant help but pass her class the test are so easy
powerpoints every day, three tests, two exercises, extrememly boring, lecture without enthusiasm
She is a good teacher and is very helpful. She gives extra credit to help and gives easy common sense quiz. Her class is easy if you just pay attention, take notes, and study it will be a easy A or B.
the first persons right. she does give extra credit but its only 4-6 pts on her tests. usualy a by-weekly out of class writing assignment. Oh yea, her tests are short answer and fill in the blank, they take a while to do, might have to stay after to finish, pretty hard unless you study hard. She is very energized about sociology!
I love this teacher! She is really excited about sociology and the class is very interesting. She gives lots of extra credit and the out of class assignments are easy. She's a very fair grader.
Professor Jones makes material easy to understand.
WOW! I couldnt of asked for a better teacher...she is very helpful and she cares for her students! Guys and girls should take this class...its an easy A if you do the work..which we do write essays but if you keep up with the work you will do fine! This class is awesome..take it!
Easy teacher. Test are short answers, fill in the blanks, and matching, but it's fairly easy if you study. Very fair grader. Always so excited about sociology. Take her if you want an easy A+. A LOT of extra credits.
This is one of the few classes that i really look forward to going to. She makes it so interesting b/c she's always so happy & excited & it makes you excited. Very easy going with assignments and missing stuff. Test are super easy if you know the material. Lots of extra credit definitely take Mrs. Jones for sociology i loved her !
Mrs. Jones is GREAT. She makes class so much fun with activities and movies. I loved her. She gives a lot of out of class assignments that take around an hour and can boost your grade. She gives you a lot of other grades, so it's easy to get an A. She will help you out with anything, even give you hints on tests and tons of extra credit.
Odd lady- but very willing to work with you. I hardly went to class cuz it was kinda boring, but I passed.
very nice lady. she takes the time to know everyones name. gives a lot of extra credit and is a very fair grader. class was fun and if you go to every class she gives you 5% extra credit on your final. take her if you want an A
Nice lady, kinda spastic but helpful, optional attendance and class was boring. Test were kind of hard but I recommend her b/c it wasn't that hard and she will help you along.
Mrs. Jones is an awesome teacher and is great for an easy A. The amount of extra credit she offers makes it easy to get a good grade. Attendence isn't mandatory but you are rewarded for coming to class. Little to no homework and the test are easy if you take the notes she writes on the board in class. Makes class fun and is always in a good mood.
This was the best teacher I've had at college! She's very energetic and informative. She really makes you want to learn. There is a good amount of work with papers and tests, but she makes it easy to do well. TAKE HER CLASS!
She is one of the best teachers here. Listen and learn. She will challenge you to think about your world in ways you never would have thought of otherwise. She is great! Take her!
The best professor and is always willing to help. Take good notes and study them for the test and you will be fine. Most test were fill in the blank but you get points for just answering the question. She does give extra credit. I got an A in the class.
Best class offered at ECU. Mrs. Jones makes the class fun and tries to make it very relevant to the current times. She really tries to get you involved and enjoys it when you talk. If you take notes and listen in class, with a little bit of studying the class is a breeze. Everyone should take this class.
A very good teacher & you learn alot from her class. She hates cell phones & will stop class if she sees one..cant bring laptops to class. Her test are multiple choice and short answer the short answer always got me! overall a great teacher and teaches well =)
excellent teacher, a very easy class, anybody can pass this class.
Atfirst I was a little worried with how scatter-brained her notes were, but then I learned it was just her passion unfolding for what she was teaching. The things she puts emphasis on in class are the things you need to know. She makes knowing them useful and relative to your own life. Will do anything for her students, LOVE HER!
very nice- you can tell she really likes teaching, sometimes her notes can be confusing but if you go to class and pay attention this is not a hard class--she gives a lot of extra credit, attendance is not mandatory but sometimes she gives pop quizes- over all i really liked her!
Amazing teacher. a lot of reading and group stuff but over all and AMAZING class. great social science class.
She is an awesome prof. Love this prof!!! Very invested in her students! Easy "A". Essays very easy. Not a lot of reading. Watched "Iron Jawed Angels" and 2 more movies! Will take her again! Take her for WOST 2400!! She made me view women studies differently! WOST makes you question things like gender, etc but in a good way! Take Ms. Jones!
Very nice teacher! Helps you out in so many ways that she can. Gives LOTS (and I mean lots) of extra credit. Puts you into groups for the semester and if you really like your group and get along with them well, and she sees that, you will definitely have no trouble making an A on the group activities and projects. Read chapters for tests!
Best prof Ive ever had in my whole life. I wish she was related to me shes so great and helpful. Like a second mother. Attendance is madatory but u enjoy the class so much it really doesnt matter. Im taking her again next semester for another class...easy A and alot of fun
Amazing teacher! im so glad i took her she is very funny and super easy. Read the notes she posts and youll get an A for sure. Tons of extra credit. She makes the class so fun
She was one of the nicest professors I have ever had. Extremely helpful, wants you to learn. Tests are straight from the study guides and she let's you do all quizzes in groups. She tells you exactly what's going to be on the test and what you need to know. TAKE HER!
AWESOME teacher! definitely one of my favorites. Attendance is mandatory but she really makes class enjoyable and she is extremely helpful and will work with you on anything!
Very good teacher.I loved every minute of this class and she always kept the class interesting. Attendence is mandatory but if you dont miss any classes she gives you extra points at the end of the semester. She is sooo helpful and gives you extra credit for every test. I would definately take her again if I could!
She is the best sociology teacher you can have. She loves what she teaches so it interests you and you are never bored. My class showed up everyday minus a couple people. Gives extra credit assignments on every test and the pop-quizzes are automatic 100's because they are usually group quizzes or the class together. It is impossible not to pass.
I LOVE KATHLEEN JONES! she is the BEST teacher you could have! Her class is not hard & she actually enjoys what she teaches which makes it 10x better! She offers extra credit & if you study a little bit you will do GREAT! i got an 98 in her class!
I'm a psych major, so I had some interest in Sociology before hand, but it wasn't anything I was too thrilled about in High School nor about taking last semester. I honestly loved having her and I am trying so hard to get her again. Attendance is mandatory, yes, but you'll want to go, it's her lecture notes that are the test questions.
Mrs. Jones is the best teacher I have EVER had. She's nice and very helpful. Her interest in Sociology made the class very interesting. Attendance is mandatory, but I wouldn't miss a class even if it wasn't. Her tests are VERY easy if you just study the lecture notes. She gives plenty of extra credit opportunities and is always willing to help.
Mrs. Jones is my favorite teacher of the semester. She explains each topic very well and as long as you take good notes in class, you will do well on her tests. We use the book a little but the tests are majority made from her lecture notes. Gives A LOT of extra credit & drops lowest test grade. TAKE HER!
TAKE MRS. JONES!!!! She is a really easy teacher who gives tons of extra credit up to 12 points added to tests and she drops the lowest test grade. She does go off topic A LOT so just study the lecture notes on blackboard and you will do fine in her class.
Easy Easy Easy as long as you study the lecture notes. I got As on every test and she offers plenty of extra credit for tests. You honestly don't even need the textbook, you won't use it. She takes random attendance 3 times in the form of "pop quizzes" that she pretty much tells you the answers to.
Ms. Jones is the best...her class is soo easy..Only 3 test and the mid term and final are take home...did not use the textbook nor did I read the novels and still got an A she gives tons of extra credit for attendance...take her class!!! Did I mention she is passionate about her students and will work with you in any way possible!!
Mrs. Jones is a very good teacher, if you pay attention in class and study the lecture notes, it is an easy A. She posted all her lecture notes on blackboard. I loved this class.
AWESOME professor. Attendance is not mandatory, but it does help your grade a ton. TONS of extra credit, it's almost impossible to fail. Just make sure you go to class day before test, she tells you a lot of main points on the test and what to study. Really enjoyed her and listening to her knowledge
Mrs. Jones is a GREAT teacher and an AWSOME person. I don't agree with some of the concepts taught in sociology but I actually wanted to go to her class. She lets you know straight up what will and won't be on her tests and if you go to class you don't need the textbook at all. I didn't buy it and got an A. I would take her again for any subject.
I had Mrs. Jones for gender studies and sociology and I love her! The class goes by so fast because she is fun and exciting! Both her classes are interesting and I highly recommend her!!
She repeats the notes she puts online out loud and that is the class....it is very scattered and hard to understand what she is talking about, but it is common sense so you will make an A no problem. During tests she talks out loud at a loud level. It is annoying. I like her as a person though, but I don't want to take her again.
Very good teacher.. You get extra credit oppurtunities on each test. only 4 & you can drop your lowest test grade at the end of the semester. I llike the dicussions we have. and she tells you what's going to be on the test and posts all lecture notes to blackboad.. I'd reccommend her
Really good teacher. She gives a lot of extra credit for the 4 tests she administers. The fourth test is optional and she will drop the lowet test grades. Go to class and listen to what she says to study and you will have a forsure A.
Mrs. Jones is a pretty easy teacher. She gives a lot of extra credit but you have to be in class to receive it. Her in class lectures are TERRIBLE. She writes things on the board that is so hard to understand. She does have her lecture notes posted online so that's basically all you have to study. I didn't learn anything but got an A
I had Jones for Women's Studies. She's hard to please and doesn't give you credit you deserve. She gave me a 92 on a project I did about MYSELF because that was our assignment. Horrible. Can't read anything she writes. Her midterm is take home but it's ridiculous. Barely replies to emails. No reason I should get a B in a elective class.
This class is extremely easy. Attendance is not mandatory and you could probably get by just by reading the lecture notes. She tells you exactly what will be on her tests. She mostly just talks in class, which can get kind of boring. She is very open to everyone's opinion. It's basically a common sense class. I got an A+
She's one of the best professors I had this semester. Her Women Studies class is super easy. It's interesting if you like to know about women's rights. Everything is take home except one vocab test and pretty much easy. I also had her for Sociology. She tells you what's in the test and what pages to read. I would definitely recommend her!!!
I loved her! She made the class interesting and made you look forward to the class. The tests are from her notes and the textbook. I had a slow start but she takes away your worst test grade because she only counts 3 of the 4 tests. Her attendance is random and is only group quizzes that are really easy. I recommend her for anyone! Easy A!
Kathy J is such a nice, cool and easy teacher. She gives a lot of extra credit so its an easy A. Take her class because it's fun and easy. Trust me.
My all time favorite teacher. I took her 3 hour night class and time flew by. She is so nice and entertaining. She is very clear while teaching and gives lots of extra credit. Tests are pretty easy if you study and actually attend class. YOU MUST TAKE THIS CLASS!
ATTENDANCE: Not mandatory, gives attendance bonuses & pop quizzes(Group/A for effort-drops 2 at end) a lot. WORK: 4 writing assignments, fulfill length requirements you'll get an 100 & an extra credit assignment for each test! TESTS: 4 (40Q) Very easy. Just read lecture notes. FINAL: (90Q) Exact questions from previous test. Replaces lowest test.
Hands down, one of the best professors I've ever had. If her class is open, TAKE IT! The first day she lets you know she means business- no cell phones, and you're not allowed to leave early unless you let her know. She also doesn't allow laptops unless you sit in the first row. The class is SO FUN though and if you study you WILL get an A
My favorite professor so far at ECU. She's interesting, engaging, answers every and any question you may have, and just overall wants you to succeed. I'm taking her again next semester just because I loved her so much.
She is a Great teacher! I would recommend this class to anyone. She's very helpful and also very nice.She makes learning about it fun because she's so enthusiastic! I'm actually sad the semester will be over soon..
I love her! She is awesome and one of the best professors I have ever had. Her class is easy if you go, her tests come straight from her lectures. She is also willing to help anyone if they need it as long as they show an interest in the class/grades.
TAKE THIS CLASS! I dont really find sociology interesting but she made this class enjoyanble and easy. Attendance is not mandatory but you recieve an attendance bonus.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR THE SAKE OF HUMANKIND!! I love Mrs.Kathy! She's super sweet and loves what she does. The class honestly changed the way I view life and myself. Don't buy the books until you go to class the 1st day and ask which you need and which you can share. I learned so much and I'm very thankful to her. Came out with an A+. Do the work.
Mrs. Jones is hands down my favorite teacher thus far. She is very passionate about her job, and is very clear and interesting when it comes to the material. This class is easy, fun, and you will learn SO MUCH! If I could, I would take this class over because I enjoyed it so much
Take Ms. Jones! She loves what she does and explain the material well. If you do the work and go to class for the random attendance checks you will do good! Test are just like the lecture notes.
Love her! I had to drop this class my first semester with a different professor and I was nervous to take it again. Mrs. Jones is the best! She gives a lot of extra credit and is always willing to help. If you are nervous about a SOCI class, take it with her.
Amazing teacher for Intro to Sociology! I always enjoyed going to class! The material is pretty straightforward. She keeps things interesting. It's a lot of discussion in class which proves to be helpful. Plenty of extra credit opportunities so it's really hard to get anything less than a B. I'd highly recommend Mrs. Jones! My favorite teacher so far!
Professor Jones is awesome! I had no interest in sociology whatsoever going into the course but she made it really interesting and engaging. The tests are pretty easy and there are a lot of opportunities for extra credit on them which helps. I can't see how anyone could possibly earn a low grade in this class with the amount of help she gives.
Kathy Jones goes over none of the topics she's supposed to in class. Not only is there reading outside of class in the textbook, but then you have to teach yourselves the lectures. She's way to self absorbed in women's rights to teach us what she's supposed to. She goes off on random stories that do not help at all. Do not take this class
Amazing teacher! She is so involved and she really loves what she does!
At the beginning, the class is a piece of cake. Then halfway through instead of taking one class your taking three. Two huge group projects, three research projects, pop quizzes, tests that you have to literally write out a definition. She also grades hard. For a class that isn't for my major it wasn't worth it! DO NOT TAKE HER!!!
I hated this class. At the start of the semester I thought I would enjoy it but she is a bad teacher for me. I'm fairly introverted so having to earn talking points really frustrated me and that hurt my grade.
Great teacher and great sociologist. Awesome to hear her views and experiences.
She is just the easiest teacher ever. Her lectures are actually quite interesting and I found myself eager to attend her class. She provides many opportunities for extra credit. Study what she says to, and you'll make an A.
TAKE HER! Easy A if you attend class, do the extra credit, and at least pass her exams. Her Final is all the past exams combined.
She is a great lady! Attendance is mandatory and if you attend almost all the classes she will give you extra credit. Her class is easy and straightforward. There is no reason why you should make anything less than an A. Her test are a mixture of class lectures and the textbook chapters. She tells you in advance what she will be testing on.
She welcomes students to her office so take her up on that if you're struggling. Attendance isn't mandatory but there are occassional quizzes and extra credit attendance points so I'd recommend going to every class. As long as you take notes in class(she tells you whats important) and study for tests you should do well.
Attendance isnt mandatory but some days she passes around the sign in sheet. You get points at the end of the sememster. Tons of extra credit opportunities. The tests are easy and straight from her lecture notes and the few readings that she suggests you look at.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS if you are just taking it for an elective. 2 group projects, 4 hard pop quizzes, daily reading assignments, 2 book need to be read and papers on them, participation points daily and is not clear on directions at all. This class had so much busy work it was unjoyable and too busy to know what you are learning with so much work
Jones is an okay professor. Her lectures are actually interesting and made me want to be there. She does random attendance and sometimes theres extra credit assignments. Everyone seems to think her tests are pretty easy, I seem struggle with them, maybe because I don't really know what to study. Overall, i'd recommend her compared to other profs.
TAKE HER!! She is great and makes the class very easy. She does take attendance on certain days, but if you go most of the days, you get points added on to your final grade. Assigns so much extra credit for tests. Also requires participation points, but it is fairly easy to find something to say. Interesting lectures!
Professor Jones is one of my favorite professors I've had in my three semesters here. Her lectures are interesting, and she talks about current events a lot. She also provides a ton of extra credit. TAKE HER!!!!
One of my favorite professors at ECU. Her class is straightforward, although the material is somewhat tough and you do have to study for a while if you want to do good on her tests. You HAVE to participate in her lectures in class or you won't pass her class, DONT SKIP. She gives extra credit throughout the semester and at the end as well. Easy A.
Her lectures are very interesting, and gives an extreme amount of opportunities for extra credit. If you ask for help, she will be more than happy too. Even on an exam, she will basically give you the answer. It is impossible to not do well in this class. She is one of the best teachers I have ever had, and I would definitely take this class again!
Great conversations held in class almost every time you meet. Mrs. Jones is very knowledgeable and very passionate about sociology and a slew of other things that makes you truly respect her for her work. I would definitely take another one of her classes!!
Mrs. Jones is the sweetest lady ever!!! As long as you come to lecture, pay attention, and put forth the effort expected of you, you will get an A. Her lectures are super interesting and interactive. She loves it when students get passionate about the topic.
Super easy class, she gives out tons of extra credit. She's willing to help out if you ask for it. would take again.
Kathy Jones seems intimidating from her syllabus, but she is an amazing professor. Not being able to use my phone kept me engaged in her lectures, which taught me so much. The three tests and final were all pretty easy. She gives lots of extra credit. You definitely should go to class if you want a good grade. Would absolutely take again!
Kathy is amazing. Her class is very interesting and she does her best to make sure everyone gets something out of it. She gives 3 tests and a final, pop quizzes, takes attendance randomly for points at the end of the semester, and requires participation. It's a tad scary at first but then it feels normal. She also gives hella extra credit
Kathleen Jones is an amazing human being. I'm not even a Sociology major or minor but im trying to take another one of her classes. As long as you try and put forth good effort you will do very well in her class. She is very helpful and her door is always open. The work-load may be a bit much but its quite do-able.
Professor Jones Inrto to Sociology class is a easy A. She is a nice professor, but she likes to state her very liberal views. The lectures are a little boring, but if you're not a liberal she will make you want to rip your hair out 99% of the time. The class has a lot of arguments so do not be afraid to share an opposing view.
Gives lots of extra credit. Only takes attendance 15 days at random. There are also a few pop quizzes. Worst thing is that her exams are completely lecture and notes based, nothing can be found in book.
She's a wonderful person that is well-versed in a wide variety of topics pertaining to Sociology. Class lectures heavily incorporate discussion. Intentionally set up to not be workload heavy but more of an eye opening experience. The syllabus is intimidating, but she's a fantastic professor. Only homework you will ever have is extra credit.
One thing important is PARTICIPATE!!!!!
An amazing professor and woman! Loved this class, I learned a lot. Go to class to get credit for pop-quizzes. LOTS of extra credit -- and the extra credit is super easy. She gets upset when students do not participate in discussion during class. Great teacher, I highly recommend her.
Professor Jones is very passionate about her subject. You may disagree with her views, so just keep your mouth shut. She gives SO MUCH extra credit so do all of it because it will help you soooooo much and give you a little wiggle room. Very easy A.
Soooo much extra credit that the class is crazy easy. Participation for a grade but it's fun and easy to do. A lot of discussion on issues in society. Takes attendance 15 random times for extra credit. Has pop quizzes but most are completion grades. She's really nice and helpful at office hours. Take this class for an easy, stressless A!
Love her so much! Gender Studies has been the best course. She makes it so fun. Definitely take her!
best prof i've had so far!!!!!!!!
AMAZING PROFESSOR!!!! take her if u have the chance
Be prepared to hear everyone of her opinions, she doesn't address anything unbiasedly, but the class was so easy. She gives out so much extra credit and it so hard to not make a good grade. Just take her and you'll be glad later.
Extensive amount of extra credit available, so it is extremely easy to pass. Attendance is not mandatory but it does count as extra credit at the end of the semester. She does get off topic quite a bit so make sure to read the lecture notes that are posted online. Pop quizzes are easy -- random questions so everyone gets better grades.
Easy assignments and great in class disscusions. Although I wish she would talk more about the actual material on the tests than general discussion about current events. Tons of extra credit and participation is a must.
Gender Studies was very enlightening! Kathy is such a great professor! There are a lot of group projects for this class, but they are interesting and well worth doing. She grades rather quickly and she is very understanding when it comes to assignments. I recommend her and this class to anyone who is interested in the social sciences.
She grades on participation, attendance, and there are pop quizzes. She's not a hard grader when it comes to writing assignments. Very little homework. Textbook hardly used, but useful for vocab. Tests were mostly lecture-based, so take notes; also were often word-for-word her posted notes. Many extra credit opportunities. Impossible to fail tbh.
Awesome professor!! She really knows what she is talking about and is very updated on problems in today's society. You can really tell she loves what she does. I would 100% recommend.
Ms. Jones is by far the best professor I've ever had and I could not recommend her enough. Gender Studies was incredibly interesting, and you can tell she really cares for her students. Although we did have several group projects, the rest of the course was more discussion-based. She gives plenty of extra credit opportunities, no reason to fail.
My favorite professor here at ECU. She opened my eyes and made me view everything different now. Shes so amazing and intelligent and really knows her stuff. So caring and kind and if you ever have a problem just go to her office hours. There is absolutely no way you fail this class with all the extra credit she gives out.
She is a well-respected professor. I love her lectures even when they were 8 am classes. I had harder classes so I kind of put this easy class to the side and never really study. Exams are easy just study the material given. Show up to classes she has super easy random pop quizzes and attendance. She does 3 written assignments and ALOT EXTRA CREDIT
Pop quizzes that are easy so be sure to attend class. Lecture notes are online however some things are not discussed in class. Jones is amazing all around!! There are 4 tests and final resembles previous tests; only used a few definitions from the book so I would suggest you not purchase it. Overall, easy A and interesting course.
greatest teacher at ECU, take her if you can. she cares a lot about her students and LOVES participation. every time you raise your hand you get 2 participation points. don't skip class a lot, you won't pass. tests are common sense and the material is not hard at all. take if you need a social science. participate in class and you'll get an A
Amazing professor! Nothing but good things can be said of Professor Jones. She is passionate about what she teaches and is dedicated to making sure students learn. Participation is important, discussions are always interesting. Make sure to take notes and understand the suggested parts the book, as it will make up most of the tests.
Mrs. Jones was an amazing professor. She always made sure the expectations were set and able to be met. Class participation is apart of your grade and she only has four pop quizzes. However, if you come to class, more often than not, she tells you to expect them in the next class session.
I liked this class because Professor Jones is really passionate about what she teaches, but needless to say, she gives A LOT of work. There are 2 large group projects and a lot of presentations. There's also a lot of reading done in this course, from books to articles. The worst part is you have to participate, because it's 40 points of your grade.
she is a wonderful teacher, she is ver sweet and has a big heart! she DOES NOT allow/like cellphones out in class. Its a lot of group work and in class participation but it is an easy a. she also gives out a lot of extra credit and attendance is mandatory.
Very nice lady and class is very easy. Participation matters for a large part of your grade. Very interactive class and she gives you the chance to state your opinions however she is VERY liberal and pushes her political agenda alot.
Prof. Jones is one of my favorite professors I have had. I really struggled in her class at first but she is super sweet and wants to help you if you will let her. TONS of extra credit offered and no homework ever. The tests are hard if you don't study at least a week leading up to test day. NEVER let her see your phone, she hates technology
Easy class. Attendance isn't mandatory but if you show up you get extra credit. Tests are easy and participation in class lectures in important. Great teacher, genuinely cares
Prof Jones is a sweet lady, but is a horrible professor. Her lectures aren't even lectures, I barely have any notes for her class. She writes words on the chalkboard and then talks about unrelated stuff like how she boycotts walmart. A lot of group work and projects. Just hard to understand. No phones. It's an easy class but wouldn't take her class
This class is extremely easy! The teacher barely teaches and lets the students take over most of the time but all of her lectures are given on a chalk board, so if you don't go to class, you won't get the notes. You can get a lot of extra credit in this class by just showing up and participating. She is really nice and caring but is a push -over.
Kathy is amazing in every way. Her lectures are so interesting and they actually matter. She covers real problems occurring in the world and you can tell she really cares. I would take every class she offered if it benefited my major. Highly recommend her class, you won't regret it.
While the exams in this class sometimes had nothing to do with what you learned about, this class is easy. There is so much extra credit available so it balances out everything, even if you don't do particularly well on the exams. You can tell that Professor Jones is very passionate about what she does, and participation is a part of your grade!
Kathy J is probably one of the most amazing professors at East Carolina University. She really cares about the students success and she loves what she teaches. I took intro to Soci with her and changed my major to soci because of her! Now I am ending my 4th class with her! She may seem mean at first but give it a week and you will LOVE her! AMAZING
She's a very sweet and understanding professor, the class was very easy. Attendance was not mandatory, she gave many extra credit opportunities and participating points! Two group projects, one easy book to read to write a reflection.
Professor Jones is the best you are lucky if you get her. She is very understanding and if you go meet her in her office you will keep that connection with her for the rest of the semester. She does give pop quizzes but she will usually "hint" at when they are coming. She will be one professor I will miss and will take one of her classes again.
Sweetest professor I have ever had at ECU. Took her for two classes and she still remembers me and says hi on campus. Most sociology professors joke that people wish they could major in "Kathy Jones". She is the reason I switched to sociology as my major. Her class truly impacted my view of the world. Amazing.
She is a great lady and as long as you show up, you will most likely pass. Extra credit is given often and if you miss only a class or two you will get extra credit. Notes are in class so in order to get them you have to go. If you have an issue talk to her about it and she will most definitely understand. Only thing is no phones
Best professor I've had at ECU. Such a sweet lady. She gives tons of extra credit making it hard tp fail the class. Occasional pop quizzes but they're normally just a completion grade.
This was one of the most interesting classes that I took this semester and it was because Mrs. Jones related the material to things going on at the time. Make sure that you participate because you are graded on participation, but she gives you multiple options on ways to participate. She's such a nice lady and I really enjoyed going to her class.
TAKE HER! This was the most interesting class I have taken. Professor Jones is such a sweet lady, and she is very passionate. She relates what we discuss in class to what is occurring today. If you show up for class, it'll be hard not to pass - participation is important, and there are many opportunities for extra credit. Definitely an Easy A.
Amazing professor! Take her and you'll definitely pass with an A! So much extra credit you're guaranteed an A.
Loved her!! Class was interesting and she is very understanding and reasonable. Make sure you study for tests!
Loved her! By far the best professor I've had at ECU. Go to class to get participation points (they're part of your grade and super easy to get) Really understanding and cares. I looked forward to going to this class it was really interesting. Go to class and participate, you're guaranteed an A. She also gives lots of extra credit.
She is a really sweet lady, but is extremely unorganized and scatterbrained. She assigns presentations with almost no notice and the first groups have to present the following week. She is extremely strict on phones which gets more annoying throughout the semester. Overall its an easy class but annoying.
Such a great professor. Always keeps lectures relatable and interesting. Tests are kind of hard, but if you go to class youll still get a good grade. Gives out easy participation points and easy pop quizzes. A LOT of extra credit too!
TAKE HER! I loved Ms. Jones's class. You have the option to take notes however you like. If you go to class you will pass with flying colors. She gives you bonus points for coming to class and constant extra credit opportunities that are up to 20 points. She tells you exactly what is going to be on the test. I didnt buy the textbook and did fine.
Kathy was a great professor, if you have the opportunity take this class! She gives a good amount of time for assignments and basically grades off of completion, her midterm has a take home portion and vocabulary matching. The final is also a take home exam. She gives opportunities for extra credit and relates all of her lectures to everyday things
Mrs. Jones was a great professor. Her lectures were always interesting and she gave tons of extra credit. She is also very caring and considerate. Her tests are a little hard but with all the extra credit, it evens out.
Jones is an incredible lady. She tells things how they are and is really funny. She gives tons of extra credit, so take advantage of it. She has 10 pop quizzes but over half are opinion based, not from the lectures. Attendance isn't technically mandatory, but bc of pop quizzes and extra credit, I would go. It helps your grade and it's interesting.
Jones was a really good professor. Definitely passionate about sociology. Although attendance isnt required, still go cause she has random pop quizzes. Participating in class is so important! Do that and all the extra credit so that if you have an off test you still have a 100 in the class!
Im considering minoring in Sociology because of Prof Jones. SHES AMAZING srsly. I enjoyed going to this class everyday! Tests are straight from the note sheets online with few textbook vocab items. Dont buy the textbook its really not necessary and its also available for rent at Joyner. Anyways, if you're debating between her and another, take her!
Jones is a lenient grader that doesn't give much work (GENS 2400). It's mostly "pop quizzes" according to her though our class has only received one. Show up and listen to her lectures + read the articles she posts for an easy A - both are interesting so it won't be hard to! She can be difficult to understand with certain words. Lots of EC offered
She gives a lot of Extra Credit! I used the class textbook and the lecture notes to study for the test. Study the notes she posts on Blackboard! She doesn't like people being on their phones in class.
She is amazing oh my gosh. Her test were very easy as long as you read and listen to her lectures. She is no where near boring and she is very straightforward!! Loved this woman
Very interactive in lecture, gives multiple extra credit opportunities. Overall I enjoyed this class.
Professor Jones is one of the best professors I've had. Although I took the class online, the lectures were great, she gave feedback every time something was graded, if something wasn't right she usually lets you redo/fix it, and she gives a good amount of extra credit. Would definitely take one of her classes again.
she is an amazing professor! she is willing to answer any questions you have and she doesn't assign a ton of work. Just work that matters. she also had the test was like take-home tests. this class is one of my favorites and she had weekly meetings on Wednesday at 10 and she talked about a lot that would be on the test so you were prepared. 10/10
