Great professor. Is very good at lecture and prepares her speech so well...must take her class!!

Well organized and prepared. Interesting class and discussions.

Great class. Interesting discussions.

has little interest in teaching.. during our group "discussions" she would sit at her desk with her head in her hands..

Ithought this was a great class with a great professor - very friendly and helpful. I learned alot and would definitly reccomend

I was expecting so much more from a class about family. All basic with dumbed-down lecture and stupid inclass workings. Did NOT engage or help during discussion. Blach!

pretty clear, easy tests, gives really great study guides that help a LOT, lectures are sometimes get a little boring but all in all I was pleased.

I found her tests to be pretty hard, even though I studied the material pretty well. If your taking her class turn off your cell phones and dont snap your gum ... she yelled at us once. The lectures were a bit hard to sit thru. She didnt seem very interested in what she was teaching.

well i though she was great. always helpful and well prepared. interesting topics and not too difficult. one of my favorite profs at OSU

All the profs in Sociology are great but she is my favorite. The reason I became a Soc major.

Really good for the first half, she kinda dropped the ball in the second half though and I felt like I didn't even know what was going on.

Curves every test to the highest grade. Gives extra credit opportunities. Book and notes from class were very useful. Website helped prepare me for the exams by taking the quizzes.

Great teacher...one of the best!

Really nice. Class well organized. Study guides and notes posted from first day of class. Let's us use notes for tests. Liked in-class activities.

Tests aren't quite on with notes, so you'll have to read the hell out of the book

I'm currently taking the class. Overall, I've been pleased. The lectures are interesting as well as the in class discussions. The tests aren't very easy. If you want to do well on the tests I would suggest not only filling out your paper(notes you get to use for test) front and back but keeping up with the reading. Read the chapters!

I don't know what the bozo below is talking about. This was a great class and i learned a lot. Heavy reading load but worth it.

LOVED it! Interesting topics, easy to follow lectures, good examples. The in class writings gave us the chance to apply what we were learning. Planning on majoring in soc now.

Go to class, do the readings, prepare note sheet using study guide and you will do well in this class. Nice lady and interesting course. Looking forward to taking more classes with her.

read take notes listen to teacher, kind of boring but you are forced to take a credit in this area

Tests were easy if you study and go to class. She let's you use a 8 by 11 note sheet with writing on the front and back. Your grade is made up of 3 tests. She had two extra credit assignments that were worth 10 points each. Somewhat boring of a lecture but somethings were more interesting than others.

Kathleen is a nice person, personable and makes it easy to ask questions/talk to. However, her Intro class is a total waste of time, definitely don't have to attend - just show up on test days. Lets you use a full sheet of notes front & back for tests. Not sure how anybody could get less than perfect marks in this course. Recommend.

I've taken two of her classes and thought they were very good. Interesting activities, wished there were more of them.

Good class. Interesting and not too difficult. I really liked the videos and class discussions.

Harder than expected but grading was fair. Very informative class and good for anyone who will be working with children and families.

Some of the material is difficult but she did a good job of explaining it. Not crazy about group projects but these were not too bad. A great class for those who want to know more about women and international development.

Super nice and helpful. Easy to meet with outside of class. Good bacc core class.

Really helpful and easy to work with on internships. Responds quickly to emails and gets questions answered. I had a great experience.

Most boring class ever. Its pretty easy but Stanley doesn't keep student interested whatsoever. Also, she doesn't allow students to use laptops in class to take notes with.

Good class

Good bacc core class. Pretty easy if you do the work. On-line homework was helpful and even kind of fun. This prof is very willing to meet outside of class to go over material. Loved the videos.

Knows her stuff but can be dry in lecture. Very willing to help you though. She's probably one of the nicest people I've ever met, and truly cares about helping her students learn. Allows notes on the tests, and the online homework helps you learn the material. Good class overall.

Very easy class if you do the work. Expect to do be using your textbook. She clearly knows her stuff, but sometimes she is dated in her references. She allows note sheets for the midterms. Overall, easy class with a kind professor.

It should be fairly easy to pass this class. I hardly ever went to class and still got a good grade. Lectures are always posted and she never really says anything in class that you'll need on the test that wont be on the power points or in your book.

Good class! It's definitely a little dry (it is a survey class) but I have learned a lot nonetheless.

Her class is really easy and she explains things really well. She is also there to help if you ever need it.

This was a great class and I really appreciated all the feedback she gave on assignments. I learned a ton of new information.

Great professor and great class! She is engaged and make sure you are too! I will take her again!

I took Popular Culture with her and it was by far my favorite class in four years at OSU. Loved the topics we covered and the discussions. The videos were long but added a lot to the course. Would absolutely take more classes with this professor.

Literally, if you just do the homeworks and just slightly study for the tests, you'll get at least a B. Lectures are not mandatory. And, she offers extra credit after each test (even though you gotta work for those extra points) it's still nice. She's also just an amazingly kind and down to earth women that is super nice if you go and talk to her.

Professor Stanley has taught sociology for decades and it shows. The class was polished as was her delivery. Class structure is basic with reading quizes followed by tests that are right off the lecture slides and textbook. OPEN NOTE TESTS. The intro class was pretty boring at times but what do you expect from a 200 level class.

I honestly thought that Kathleen Stanley is a nice professor that gives good, critical feedback on discussions. Homework is done online and is progress-based. If you want a fun and easy class to do for bacc-core or in The summer, I highly recommend it.

This class was super easy actually. You just had to do the reading, through McGraw, and the weekly quizzes were actually the practice quizzes through the eBook. Weekly discussion board with two prompts and assessments tests every few weeks. They are open book and no comprehensive final so this course was a breeze.

Professor Stanley was great! However, her midterm and final are very hard. There is so much to read and the lectures are very long. If I had to take this class again, I would reach out to her more for help which I didn't do as it was my first semester and it was online. She is otherwise a very knowledgeable professor.
