Dr. Lowney is incredibly helpful. Her classes can be difficult, but this is the University level! besides if classes weren't challenging you would never learn anything.

Dr. Lowney is a great teacher!!! She's clear, friendly, and always willing to help. As long as you read, ask questions, and know your terms you should do excellent!!!

I had Dr. Lowney for both SOCI 1101 and 1160 and I loved her! She is a really great prof! She knows what she talking about and loves the subject so class is never boring. She always there if you need help or have a question. You'll definately learn alot from her! And as long as you pay attention in class and read you'll do just fine!

Yes you will feel extremely dumb for asking some questions. its not hard at all especially if you're interested about people and the world around us. she's really funny and you should enjoy the class.

really good teacher. alot of extra credit. come to class prepared on review day. "checking in" everytime you come to class with a question on the board for 2 points. take her i have like a 110 in her class.

I absolutely love her teaching style. When you walk into the classroom, she already has the notes on the board, and all you have to do is copy them down. Attendance is not mandatory, but she has "checking in" questions which basically counts as your attendace grade. She gives lots of extra credit, and she is extremely helpful. One of my favorites.

Dr. Lowney is a great teacher. She demands a lot from her students but getting an A is not difficult in you put in the time. Take lots of notes, and go to her "Lunch with Lowney" review sessions, she practically gives away test answers there. Be prepared when you ask her a question because she will answer it with another question.

Dr. Lowney defnitely knows her stuff. She is a hard-core teacher and it very difficult to get an A in her class. I was an Honor Graduate and I have a B in the class...and I WORKED for it. If you want an easy A do not take her. But if you want to learn, she an awesome teacher.

Dr. Lowney is great. She is a very eccentric and interesting woman. Her class requires a lot of studying, but if you stay on top of your work you will be fine. And do ALL of the extra credit assignments she offers! They will improve your grade by a whole letter.

You do have to work for the grade..The first test is hard, make sure to know how to define to word...but becareful she has the CCC rule and will use it!! Just make sure you make note cards and ask her to look at them before you study. She does give extra credit

I am an A student and had no problem getting the grade. There are three easy writing assignments, tests, and tons of EC. Do it! Some people found the tests difficult. However, I chose the Honors option for her class. It was awful!! I wrote a 20 pg page and met with her almost weekly to have her read over it. Then she gave it an F.

Dr. Lowney is tough. Study Study Study for this woman! I think that the best way to do well in her class is to come everyday and read the book.

she is very hands on, incorporates technology and blazeview. You have to stay on top of things with her. attendance is not necessary but she gives clicker points at end of class so u gotta go, but has lots of extra credit points. Tests r hard so study

Dr. Lowney is a really good professor. She gives at least 3 reviews for each test, and gives at least 3 extra credit opportunities. You do have to study for her tests, but they aren't ridiculous bc she gives you what all you need to know. I've made high Bs on both tests so far. Plus, she's really nice and personable.

Dr. Lowney is a hard yet fair professor. She gave us ample opportunities to do what we had to do. She gives a lot of online work, but it's college, she's not feeding the class with a silver spoon. Lowney has VERY good review sessions for her tests and relates her teaching to stories to make the material understandable. If you do the work, you pass.

If you dont use the book, prepare to fail. Her tests arent that hard if you read the majority of the reading materials. Dont forget any of her assignments. She's a nice lady but kind of weird. I would definitely take this class over.

Dr Lowney is a great instructor. She kept every class interesting. She is the best professor I have ever had. She is alwas available and eager to help with anything possible. I made an A in her class because I was there everyday and did the work. She gives alot of extra credit work so there is no reason not to make an A in her class!! AWESOME!!!!!!

She is a great prof.. she is always willing to help.. attendance is mandatory or you will lose points... as long as you know vocab and people... you will do great... it isnt a walk in the park but if u make an effort youll do great

She was a really interesting lady. Kind of quirky but she really isn't hard. You get so many extra credit opportunities. You will have to look over the stuff in the book and pay attention, but if you do that it really shouldn't be too hard. I made an A pretty easy.

web based class but attendance is mandatory...as long as complete all assignments read all assigned readings and go to class you should pass with flying colors...odd lady but good teacher nonetheless

She is a great professor. The class is easy you just have to do the assigned work and discussions on blazeview. She love when students interact in class. Attendance is mandatory if you want to pass. She gives ALOT of extra credit. Her exams are not easy nor hard. SHE IS VERY HELPFUL

She's an odd woman but she's not that bad. Her class is somewhat difficult if you don't pay attention. Take notes and do your homework and study the book and you'll do fine.

This class is very interesting. Dr. Lowney is a very nice woman and does all she can to help you do well. She even walks around at the beginning of class and asks everyone individually if they have and questions and if they are doing okay. Do all assigned work and study as the class goes on not just the week before! if you know the vocabulary and k

She is an odd woman. As long as you pay attention, take notes, study,and do your pre-writes you will do fine. She also gives extra credit please take advantage of it. I got an A out of the class and i highly recommend that you take adavantage of her review sessions she has before each test.

The class is not that hard if you show up. The clicker points will save you! do the pre-writes, show up to class, and go to the review sessions and you will be fine. she is totally crazy, but you can tell she is passionate about her work.

Dr. Lowney is a very good teahcer, who knows the material very well. The class requires writing a discussion for class twice a week, but they are extremely easy to write because the information is taken from your interpretation of the reading, but by doing the discussion and listening and showing up to class you should have no problem making an "A"

She is so wonderful! She keeps your attention during lectures and is very willing to help. She gave so much extra credit out too! Her tests are tricky, but I learned a lot!

EASY! You'll have alot of mini-quizzes online called soclabs, which you have two opportunities to take. There are 3 tests, and many of the questions are examples using vocab words or sociologists' theories, I got 2 a's and a high b, they're easy! And before each test you'll have a review study session in which you can earn 10-12 bonus points! Easy.

the beginning of class was a struggle. You have to get use to HER way of doing things. ALOT of extra credit is given. Go to class everyday for clicker points, THEY WILL SAVE YOU. make sure you study hard for her test & attend review sessions. if you are motivated & a hard worker, i'd recommend. However, you cant take the easy way out in this class.

Made an A! She's one of the best professors at VSU. Even though the first exam was A BIT challenging, she was always available during her office hours to assist me. She's so nice! She gives a lot of online assignments that HELPed MY GRADE. Her lectures aren't boring, but most of all she loves helping her students UNDERSTAND the material!

She is a challenging professor. It's a lot of material to learn in a short period of time so I suggest a lot of studying. she gives out major extra credit opportunities so take as much as u can get. when studying for tests read over power points, read and reread that book, and make flash cards for vocab. I made an A so it's as easy as you make it.

I LOVED her! by far my favorite teacher that I have had at VSU so far. Her test can be difficult, b/c she wants you to know the material, but she has review sessions, that definitely pay off. She is VERY nice, and you can tell that she loves what she does, and has the best interest for her students at heart. She is a wonderful teacher, TAKE HER!

Aside from the satanic teens and serial killer nurses that she "studies" and always talks about, she is pretty alright. Once you get used to her way of doing things, you'll do fine. I received a 98. You have alot of extra credit opportunities.

Dr. Lowney is an AMAZING teacher. The semester gets better as it goes along. Started out tough, but you just have to get use to the class. She is overly helpful and it very easy to have an A in the class, you just have to work for it, and put forth the effort. Attendance is a must. Just study and you will do fabulous!

Starts out tough but it gets easier. Quiz before every class and during class. These are a must if you want to pass. She genuinely wants you to succeed, but at the same time she does not treat this class as an entry level class. Her tests are meant to trick you. An 's' at the end of a word will cause you to miss the question. Contradicts textbook

Dr. Lowney is an amazing professor and very interesting. Her test are pretty difficult but she gives you can you so many chances for extra credit that you should do fine! She is always more than willing to help when you ask and you can really tell she has the best interest in mind for her students. Sets you up for success, she will grow on you!

Dr. L is an amazing professor but her class is not easy, AT ALL! You work for the grade that you get. There will be a quiz before every class, 3 clicker questions during class, exit questions at the end of every lecture, 3 big tests, and a few other small assignments. She does offer some extra credit. There are review sessions before every test.

I had a tough time in the beginning because I was not use to the way she teaches; however, she is always there for you and will do anything she can to help you out.

Dr. Lowney is awesome! A lot of people drop this class because at first she seems like a very strict and tough professor, but it gets better with time. The class will end up being pretty easy if you go to class, complete all of the assignments, and just study. Dr. L and her student assistants will all bend over backwards to help any student. Do it!

Dr. Lowney is very passionate about her discipline and wants you to learn the material exactly as it should be taught, but she grades very hard and wants you to be very specific when asking questions. That sometimes makes her come off as mean or negative. She will grow on you though. I ended the class with a very high A, so it is possible.

Dr. Lowney is a very EASY teacher. If you show up, and pay attention you will get an easy A. You get points daily for going to class and that's how she takes attendance. She offers extra credit for every test, and surprises the class with groupteam effort extra credit. There are 3 tests, and the final is optional. I learned a lot from the class!

During the first few weeks I thought it was going to be the class I struggled the most in, but I kept on top of all my work and studied hard and have aced every test. It is not an easy class at all, but she gives SO many opportunities for help. I really have learned so much from her.

Dr. Lowney is great. She is a very hard teacher but she knows what she is talking about most of the time. She gives a lot of readings and you have to read to pass. You have to show up to class to pass. You need a clicker. You gotta take notes and take advantage of everything on D2L. What you put in, is exactly what you get out.

Dr. L is a great professor!!! As long as you come to class with your clicker, and pay attention, you will pass!! She wants everyone to succeed! She offers a lot of extra credit too! I made an A on every test and passed her class with a very high A! Of course you have to work for your grade but, I would definitely recommend her in a heartbeat!

Dr. Lowney comes off a little strong in the beginning. Not going to lie, I was scared at first. However, I quickly learned that she is a professor who really cares. She's willing to help & all you have to do is ask. However, this is not an easy class. She will make you work for it, but success is possible if you work for it. I came out with a 99.4%

Dr.L Is a good professor but can be a little strict. She will help if you need it and provides so many opportunities for you to raise your grade.

Her lectures are amazing. She makes the best use of her time. She makes you interact during the lectures which helps you to remember things. She was awesome and I'd recommend her to anyone. If you actually take notes and study them you'll do absolutely great in that class. No way you can't get an A in there. Be aware attendance is a MUST!!!

My 1st day in Dr. L's class I thought it was the worse ever, b/c that is what she portrayed. She is super strict!!! However, it is possible to be successful in her class. You must go to class, pay attention, take notes, & it helps to go to study sessions w/ student success center torturers. Overall, the class is challenging but do-able!

Her teaching style is very tough and sometimes overbearing but there is a point to it. A lot of programs like her class because it isn't easy and she makes you really work for your grade. If you don't do the readings or take the other assignments seriously, you will not pass. What I don't like is that she is extremely rude about certain things.

Dr. L is a great professor. She is always well prepared for lectures. Although she gives a lot of reading and homework, it is very beneficial if you actually complete the assignments. Every point counts! She offers plenty of opportunities to come get help from her outside of her regular office hours, so it is clear that she actually cares.

Ive heard terrible things about her, and i was afraid when i took this class, but i am actually surprised at how much i don't hate it. She really cares about her students and wants them to do well. grade by the point system so a good grade is easy if you try. lots of extra credit. if you like psych you will get offended a few times. self centered.

Best professor ever.. easy class as long as you show up and take notes.. everything is straight forward

When you first come in she seems a little harsh, but once you get in the swing of things- her class is awesome. Go to class, answer clicker questions, do the quizzes and read! Take notes and pay attention! She had 3 tests total. First 2, I failed and the last one I got an A. She grades with a point system, so the final is optional. Loved her!!!!

Dr. Lowney assigns a lot of reading but all the reading, vocab, and lectures are what is on the test. Attendance is a must because you take a quiz every day using a clicker. She assigns work online also. There is a group project that i got a bad grade on because of my group members. She makes her class hard but i would recommend over other teachers

Her tests are extremely difficult and you have to study hard if you want to do well. she requires you to cover a lot of the material on your own. Other than that, she genuinely cares for her students and wants you to succeed. Her class is very interesting and you will learn a lot. I would take her class again.
