easiest class ever! all we did was watch you tube videos,movies and had fun class discussions. you have several assignments throughout the semester which can be taken right from the text. The midterm was open book, and our final was just to interview someone with question based off of the last chapters in the book. interesting yet easy class!

SUCH A GREAT PROFESSOR! TAKE HER! I have taken one of her classes every semester for the past 4 years (online too) All of her classes are similar and consist of discussions and watching movies (pretty easy). If you skim through the chapters you'll be fine, she usually gives essays instead of tests and cancels class a lot. Take any class with her!!

By far my favorite professor so far at BSU. Don't understand the negative comments whatsoever especially saying she grades harshly. You have to be an idiot or not try at all to get a bad grade on a paper or test. Very easy to understand/clear instructions and interesting discussions. 100% recommend anyone to take her if you can!!

This class was fairly easy. Dr Mac Innis would never admit that her syllabus was confusing but it was. If you are going to take her online read it 10 times, she has many requirements and some aren't well stated. Once you get the hang of the requirements if you try she will give you full credit.

Great Teacher, good attitude but very strict about no electronics in her classroom. If she even sees your phone on your desk, she takes 5 points off your final grade.

This professor is really there for her students. She understands we all have personal lives that get in the way of our educational plans and is kind when things come up. She states what she expects clearly and even sends reminders. We are all adults and need to put in the effort to succeed, in her classes and in life. Follow her syllabus to pass!

I choose this professor because of positive experiences in the past. She knows her subjects and is the chair of the soci department. Her expectations in the syllabus are clear and she expects you to read and refer back to it through the course. She is supportive and answers emails promptly. I will continue to choose her courses moving forward.

Took her online social problems class. I only took it as an elective and to be honest it was a lot of time consuming and tedious work. I was given more assignments combined than my level 300 and 400 courses... something's wrong with that picture. The assignments weren't too difficult it was just annoyingly so for a level 100 course.

Dr. MacInnis is a tough professor, but like most things in life, anything good in life is worth working for. You end up learning a lot about social theory and more importantly, how to apply it to real life situations and current events. This is a writing intensive class and your write about 20-25 total pages. However, if you need extra time, ask.

I really liked Professor Maclnnis! I took her for intro to sociology and found her class to be pretty easy. She would often bring in food for the class and she's pretty funny too. You need the Broke in America book (discussion post every week), but we didnt really use the textbook. Theres one group project for the final. I'd taker her class!

I would never take another class with Dr.McInnis again. Attendance was mandatory, yet she cancelled class over 50% of the year and when the students missed one day it was emphasized that we can't be missing classes. We did 3 essays throughout the semester that were all bunched up towards the end of the semester and extremely difficult to manage.

Professor Macinnis was very kind and approachable. Classes were very fun and kept my engaged. I would say that the homework was not bad. The classes were based strictly off of homework and the topics were not covered very well in entirety. The final was a half group and half individual which was fun but also hard with a 3 single spaced page final.
