Very good teacher. Used great examples and kept things interesting. Lectures and movies were very informative. I would recommend ANYONE to this class - she is AMAZING!!!! :)
Loved this class - she tells you exactly what you need to know and almost always lets class out early. I barely used my textbook - most of the tests were from notes. She also shows a few films that are fairly interesting, those sometimes pop up on the test.
She's a total doll, very sweet and a fun personality. I took her for Intro to Sociology. It's not something I was really interested in, but she made it fun. I highly recommend her. She gives a review for each exam and open book/notes quizzes. I'd say it's an easy A or B for her class, but only if you go and participate in discussion.
She was great! I actually liked going to class everyday. Sociology is my major, and I believe she covered the material well. Not a class goes by that we don't burst out in laughter from something she says. Great personality, and she incorporates personal stories that are relevant to the topic at hand. HIGHLY RECCOMEND
This prof is awesome!!she is super sweet and her lectures are soooo funny. Her tests are perfect and she will always help you! you can miss like 4 or 5 classes. TAKEEE HER!! SHE MADE ME LOVE SOCIOLOGY
She was wonderful! Always very on-point and willing to help students succeed. She was funny, brilliant, and made the class very enjoyable because of such. Because of this course, I changed my major to Sociology. I would DEFINITELY recommend / take her again if I was still a student at Texas State.
She's a nice lady and her chili is pretty good. This class was VERY EASY as long as you do the online quizzes and show up. There's definitely a lot of "liberal propaganda" and biased statistics, but I'm sure you get that in any intro to sociology class. Her TA is really hot also.
She is a great teacher!!!
Class is a breeze, I studied powerpoints an hour before each test and made an A. She gives you answers to quizzes and makes class interesting, Her TA is sexy too. TAKE THIS LADY
I TOOK THIS CLASS ONLINE AND IT IS PRETTY SIMPLE. JUST DO THE WORK AND READ THE BOOK. I PURCHASED THE EBOOK AND IT WAS LIKE $65. NOT BAD.
I LOVE HER. She is the best teacher that I have ever had in my school career. I recommend taking her. She is super nice and helpful. She makes learning fun. I minored in sociology because of this class and her.
Easiest class ever Just 3 regular exams, then final. Tells you what is on each test and what to study. Just study class notes. Power-points are on TRACS if you miss class. Do online assignments because they are worth a good portion of your grade. Very nice and funny, easily relates to students.
GREAT professor! So funny and always full of great stories! Highly recommend her! She has made me change my major to Sociology!!!! Love her so much! Such an awesome lady! And she loves talking about her kids! :)
TAKE THIS TEACHER, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!! Easily made this class something to look forward to and actually taught me in the process. She always has stories to share and will make you laugh. All of her power points are online, she offers extra credit for every test, and she usually lets us out of class extra early on a regular basis. TAKE HER!
I absolutely loved this class. Very helpful and easy to understand. She is fun and has lots of stories to tell. Plenty of extra credit and easy assignments. TAKE THIS CLASS!!!
The best teacher I've had at Texas State! Take her, you won't regret it. Easy A and tons of extra credit! Do the homework assignments; two lowest ones get dropped if you forget to do it. Attendance is mandatory but she allows you to miss 2 classes w/o penalty. She is very funny and makes the class interesting! Awesome class, awesome teacher!
She's a blast and makes the class fun! Do the extra credit!!
This class is not hard if you try. She is one of the best teachers I have ever had. If you don't know something don't be afraid to ask. She is also very funny which helps the time go by fast.
Her course is very easy for sure. Multiple homework assignments (that you can search for the answers in the textbook word-for word) but she gives reviews and tests are easy. You are required to get an e-book along with the homework. Definitely recommend her. Easy A and very interestingfun!
Ms. Mosel does a great job keeping the class intrigued. She definitely is entertaining and can easily help you learn. Her class is very easy and if you show up and study a couple hours for her test, you'll make an A easily.
Great teacher ! Listen to lectures and read the assignments and you will pass. She makes lectures fun and extra credit opportunities are given
She is super understanding and does what she can to help you pass her class. She is also super funny. Don't buy the actual textbook, just get the online copy. All her homework is online as quizzes but it is very easy and an easy way to get a good grade.
Loved her! Just buy the online textbook. Take her quizzes and show up to class. She helps you however she can:)
She lets you out of class early. Weekly online quiz, which wasn't my favorite. Test are easy, just do the reviews. Also, loves to show movies regarding the current topics we are learning in class. Students love her. Extra credit opportunity is given towards the end of the semester.
she makes this class fun and she is funny, she take attendance everyday you have weekly assignments and test are easy and she gives reviews.
this woman is hilarious, makes going to class enjoyable. lectures are easy to understand and to the point. you get out early every class. weekly assignments online and 3 (easy) exams plus the final-gives review guides, do them and you'll pass the exams with at least a C. Gives extra credit-do it. Highly recommend, with little effort you can get a B
best teacher i have ever had at texas state. take her class even if you dont need it! she makes everything easy to understand and you always get out of class early. she is always making me laugh! very helpful and kind
She's hilarious. Class is very laid back. Leave early almost every time. If you show up and listen you can get an A. Plus the extra credit is easy and helps. She cracks me up and seems like a mom that smokes weed.
I loved her class, she is hilarious and very easy to understand. She makes her lectures fun and enjoyable. Easy A. Just go to class, listen to the lecture and it will be the easiest and funnest A of your semester.
Loved her! She is super funny and you enjoy learning in her class! I wish more professors were like her.
Professor Mosel is just the teacher you want for sociology classes. Took this class online; just submit your assignment on time and you should be fine.
She's so amazing and knows how to clarify certain topics if you're having trouble understanding them! Really makes this class fun to learn about!
If you can please take her! Amazing professor very funny makes the topics interesting and relatable. We got out of class 20+ minutes early every time. Must buy the online textbook to do the homework. Mandatory attendance but you will enjoy this class.
I loved this class!! She made the class super interesting and always had fun activities to do in class. She rarely gave us homework and the test were super easy! The lectures are short and we were always done about 30 minutes early. If i could take this class again i would!! She does count off for attendance but if you show up you WILL pass.
Mrs. Mosel loves her job and it clearly shows. She wants you to get the highest grade that you can if you give it the effort. Expect online homework and tests that get to the point and more then possible to pass.
There are no negative things to say about Ms. Mosel- Talavera. She knows how to teach a class of different students. Her tests are not tricky. The material she goes over in class (powerpoints), movies, very few readings, and some book material (but you don't really need the book) are on the exams. Go to class b/c she uses it to bump your grade.
I loved this Professor, she was probably my favorite this semester. She stayed on point with her lectures, they were clear and to the point and she has a great sense of humor. She usually let class out early, which was nice. She does make her class do weekly online homework, but it was easy.
This has been my favorite class of all time. She is absolutely hilarious and makes her lectures very entertaining and enjoyable. The online homework is very easy and her tests are straight from the notes, yet we still learn a lot. I look forward to coming to her class every time. Take her and you won't regret it!
LOVE HER. Hands down my favorite professor ever. She makes class so interesting and she's always cracking jokes. Her tests aren't hard. She really makes people enjoy going to class. She gives off really good vibes and really can make your day with her good attitude. Take her! You won't regret it
BEST PROFESSOR EVER! I wish I could retake the class. Mosel was an amazing lecturer, powerpoint notes are provided on TRACS so you can print out and have ready for class. For every exam, she gives study guides and she drops the lowest test grade including your final. Assignments on mindtap are easy and end of year project was an easy A as well.
TAKE THIS CLASS!!!!! This was probably my favorite class I've taken in college so far, professor Mosel is hilarious and makes class fun to go to. Tests aren't too challenging and she puts all her notes online. 10/10, would recommend this class.
Great intro teacher! Very clear lectures, super funny and laid back. Was interesting to listen to and the exams were easy and straight forward.
Not a bad person but she got off topic a lot and sometimes she could get a little annoying from giggling at literally EVERYTHING.
Always got out of class early. She's hilarious and really cares about her students. I only made a B because I didn't study as much or anything and focused on other classes but this is an easy A. She gave extra credit paper and the tests are pretty simple. I recommend this professor.
Pretty easy course. You have about 10 reaction papers and 12 forums to do each week and she does not grade too harshly. There is also a media project which is pretty much a research paper and it isn't too bad. The only thing is her feedback on papers which can be vague & so nit-picky you feel like you're in an English class.
Ms. Mosel is very funny. She makes the class very interesting. Go to class because there are questions on the tests about in-class discussions. I did not go to class that often but still got a B. Easy A if you go to class though. She offers extra credit at the end of the semester so that's a plus. You also get extra credit for going to class.
Ms. Mosel is great! she is very hilarious and makes class very interesting. Just show up take the exams, but make sure to do the weekly mind taps and you should pass the class with a easy A. #yassssssssssssss #thriving
Professor Mosel had an AMAZING Syllabus structure. 1 Forum and 1 page gender excercise per week. These were fun to participate in, which made learning that much easier. The syllabus describes exactly what to do each week and the dates they were due so I didn't feel lost of behind. There is enough work to learn, but not TOO much work to panic/stress
Really easy online class, no proctored exams. Same stuff is due every week. My only complaint is that she's extremely nit picky about grammar/commas and takes off too many points for this. I've never has a college professor take off points for commas until this class. Felt like elementary school English.
Mosel wasn't a horrible professor and a solid choice for sure but get ready to work for your grade. Her tests are concept test so TIP: know your stuff and how to identify it in said situations. The class was nice, assigned seats. Her TA only came once a week instead of twice which i found confusing. Overall good class and she loves what she does.
Easiest class I've taken in college. She can be a little unorganized and her due dates were confusing because her syllabus said one thing but she closed assignments after the due date. I missed quite a few assignments and still got an A. For her online class, everything is online. Midterm and Final are easy, just have the book open and Google.
I personally didn't study like I should have and was making 70's on the tests, so definitely study and this class will be a breeze. Loved going to class and always got out 30 minutes early. Would take this class again to get a better grade.
I should have studied a lot more for this class, but I was just a freshman and I did not know how college worked at the time. If you study her power points and notes you should make an easy A in the class.
I took the summer SOCI3350 and found the textbook for this class full of false information and very biased. Mosel's grading assistant Charley was unreasonably tough on us, which was a pain. It seemed like no work was good enough. I would not recommend taking this class. You can learn information on the topics somewhere else.
please take her, she is AWESOME! its basically impossible to fail. She offers extra credit and the tests are super easy they don't require much studying. She is extremely sweet and really cares about students. loved her!!!
Mrs. Mosel seems to know and truly care about what she's talking about. She wants everyone in her class to succeed. Her tests aren't difficult at all as long as you come prepared (she provides a study guide for each exam). She always finds a way to make you laugh. Homework is due every week, but it's not that difficult or time consuming.
Easy class. Do the assignments, dont really need to read the textbook. Theres a research paper and photo essay which are easy. Sociology is a very interesting subject and you will learn a lot if you put forth the effort. Please take. Dont let the midterm and final scare you they are easy.
Two tests total, neither were comprehensive, but were multiple choice and short answer. There were forums every week and 1-2 page papers due every other week or so. It was easy and manageable. & a media assignment was due, it was kinda hard but doable. Overall, I really enjoyed the class. I actually learned and got a good grade! Highly recommend
I took her hybrid class monday, wednesday, friday and we only met for 50 minutes on wednesday's! I got a 97 in the class. She is such a great professor and hilarious, I wish I took her in person class. There is an online book with online homework that is due every week. For the hybrid class the tests are online and the final is in person. TAKE HER!
Sweetest professor ever. She posts lecture videos and communicates with her students frequently to make sure everyone is on the right track. Very understanding and will help you succeed in this class. There's a textbook but you don't need to read it unless you're doing the homework assignments. Exams are fairly easy and photo essay isn't hard.
Shes so sweet and cool, really engages the class and is helpful with anything you dont understand.
ms. mosel is very sweet and just wants her students to understand the content. a lot of connect assignments, but the exams aren't too bad. she does take attendance, but i don't think it's mandatory.
She was pretty chill and her lectures were pretty short
She is the sweetest person ever, really cares about her students. Her lectures are short and easy to follow. Tests were online and open note. Easy to talk to during office hours.
Professor Mosel was a very kind woman, however her lectures were pretty basic and just read off the slides, with one or two notes outside of the slides. Her tests are basically questions off the homework and reading assignments so that the most important piece to study in her class. I wouldnt take her again just because I didnt learn much from her.
One of the best professors I've experienced! She gives off energy that is really good to connect with and like. The lectures are good and she makes them interesting. There is no class on exam days, so everything is remote/online. Even let me take an exam I missed before my semester grades were final. Would totally recommend her!
Understanding about personal issues, very sweet.
If you want a B you don't really have to go to class, but if you want an A make sure you go because she includes In Class questions on the test. There are 12 reading/quizzes that you can keep taking until you get 100 on them its just time consuming. You get 2pt extra credit for missing only 2 classes and 1pt extra credit if you miss only 3 classes
Mosel is an exceptionally good professor. Sociology is my major, but as a First year student I did learn a lot from taking her course. It was easy to follow and understand, with relatively to the point lectures. I actually feel like I have learned something at the end of every lecture. Super sweet woman, would 100% recommend.
I thought this class would be boring but Dr. Mosel has made every single lecture so interesting. There is extra credit for attendance and one assignment. Assignments consist of Connect homework. Sometimes she will ask questions from her lectures on exams. I love this class! Dr. Mosel always shows she cares and asks about your day.
Hands down one of the best professors at Texas State. Her class is very welcoming and you do some talking with your peers, but if you're uncomfortable with that idea she also lets you work by yourself. Her lectures are short (an hour or less) and straight to the point. Would recommend that you take her class there is a reason why she is well liked!
LOVEEEE HER!! If you are looking for a professor to take, take her! She is very welcoming and is so sweet! Everything is basically McGraw hill and attendance is not mandatory which 10/10 for me
Prof. Mosel was ok. She mainly read straight from the slides & would go on side stories that weren't beneficial to the class. Her tests, for some reason, are a bit confusing? I have not made an A on any of them, yet I attend every class and study well/do the reading. I think for an intro class, it should be an easy A. The class was also very boring
Super easy exams as you could take them online. She is very entertaining during lectures, and involves her students a lot in the lecture. Has slides for her notes but I suggest adding on to them. All of the homework assignments due at the end of the semester.
TAKE HER, she's amazing. Each class is like 45 mins long. we always get out of class early everyday. She is so nice and funny! I would 100% recommend you take talk her class. This is my 2nd time taking this class because I failed it in the past. Trust me when I say take her and no one else!
Dr. Mosel is HILARIOUS. She lectures well and there is generally little work outside of class (it is unfortunately McGraw Hill). The classes usually end early, but you don't realize how long you're there because shes entertaining! I would 100% take this class again! This was the only class I never skipped lol. Tests are online!
Such a fun professor with a great attitude! Loved this class so much!
Sociology is great, and Prof. Mosel makes it memorable. However, she's often unorganized and cancels last minute, which affects her rating. You might like that I didn't. Activities are great, but infrequent, partly due to I feel low student participation. Be prepared to engage in class for the best experience!
Great teacher! Easy, class always ends early, assignments are all due at the end of the year. She is funny and I would definitely recommend.
I love her! She's so lively in her lectures, which is refreshing! everything is online, so tests and assignments are a breeze. about 13-15 McGraw-Hill assignments, but you have all semester to get them done, plus those are helpful if you somehow bomb a test (you won't)
I loved her so much. She was very flexible, and her tests were super easy. You do have online textbook assignments, but you have all semester to do them. Her tests are all online, and you take them from home. Attendance isn't mandatory, but you get extra credit if you show up. I would love to take her again!
This professor is how all professors should be! Her lectures are good since she actually teaches and doesn't just read off of a presentation. Attendance isn't mandatory, she'll give extra credit, and she's funny. Also ALWAYS lets out class early. Take her class!
One of the best story tellers ever. This class is low maintenance and she makes that clear. If you want an A just take notes on your computer and go to lecture and you'll be good on the exams. You could definitely get a B in this class though if you skipped all classes. However, she's worth going to class to because she's so funny and heart warming
She was very accommodating and fun! Attendance is not mandatory, but the classes were always fun. Lots of fun activities.
I enjoyed her classes, the lectures were interesting - she would often show videos so we could see examples of the concepts we were learning about in real life. It's easy to get a good grade as long as you are coming to class, paying attention, and keeping up with the textbook, which is not hard to do as long as you don't procrastinate reading it.
If you need a free elective take her class! It is super easy and she tries so much to help people and keep the class engaged. Exams are easy, online, she lets you use notes and only proctors it so you do not use AI (camera and mic not required)
If you get the chance to take a class with her, do yourself the favor and sign up with her! She makes class fun along with making assignments pretty easy. Makes you work in groups most of the time, loves talking with students throughout lectures! Definitely would take her class again if I could! (one of the best professors I've had at txst)
Loved this queen. Definitely one of my favorite professors of all time. She truly cares about her students and their success. Doesn't respond to emails, like at all but that's okay because she's nice so it makes up for it. Class is not mandatory, but you'll get extra credit on exams if you go.
Awesome professor. This class is straight forward and she makes it a breeze for you. Attendance isn't mandatory but you do get extra credit on your exams if you go to class. Definitely take her!!
I took 3340 and it was my second class with her. She is very funny and makes the class entertaining.
I enjoyed her classes and her lectures are never boring. She always switches it up everyday and does fun activities instead of lectures. She gives extra credit for attendance but its not mandatory. This is an easy A class. Her exams are a breeze.
This was my favorite class! The professor made a huge class feel personal and engaging. She's hilarious and super easygoing. McGraw Hill quizzes open day one and can be done at your own pace. Exams are on a lockdown browser but not recorded. One easy project. Attendance isn't mandatory. Extremely easy 100. I definitely recommend!
I am only a freshman and I already have a feeling that Dr. Mosel will be my favorite prof of all time. She is so relatable and personable. I would find myself giggling in class to the things she would say about the lecture or in general. Such an amazing prof to have if you're majoring or minoring in sociology. She lets class out early every time.
I enjoyed her class very much . I took her in a hybrid format. The tests were online, proctored & opennote. She gives great lectures and runs engaging inperson group activities. I am strongly considering sociology as my minor because of her. I highly recommend taking her class. consists of McGraw-Hill quizzes and discussion post, and exams.
