She was a great teacher! There is a lot of busy work (vocab, in-class assignments, experiments, ect) that can HELP or HURT your grade. She is very strict about attendance and it starts to affect your grade. There are also 3 big projects, but if you do them on time, there isn't anything to worry about. She prepares you for the midterm/final.
She is wonderful. She made my college career great.
Ms. Almy was dedicated to helping the students learn material. No matter what subject she was able to help with any trouble I had throughout my semester.
I have learned a lot from her. I have enjoyed this class.
Makes class fun.
She really cares about what she's doing as a teacher
She's a really good teacher. She's always thinking of ways to convey the topic in a different way. If you like having fun and not having a traditional classroom setting you will really enjoy this class.
Come to class, pay attention, and you'll be set. She does give a lot of quizzes, but if you take good notes you'll be fine.
There were many interesting assignments that I was interested in so I actually gave a full effort and learned a lot.
You have to write all the chapter terms assigned and give examples for each it's not helpful at all. Class is really loud and hard to focus on what's going on.
Ms. Almy is the best thing since toilet paper, I have enjoyed the class thoroughly and would love to have her as another teacher sometime in the near future.
She does a very good job at teaching the class in a way that covers several different types of learning styles at a time. I like getting my test back with notes on them, helps me better prepare for the next ones, and also gives me a positive boost when I do well.
Excellent teacher, very patient, and her classes are dynamic( you never lose the interest on it).
she is a great teacher, and she is the beast
I don't really have anything to say about this class because it is required for my major.
Very good teacher. Gives you a chance to meet everyone in your class. STRICT CELLPHONE RULES.
She's awesome and I really loved the class and the content it was very fun to learn and my favorite part was her making us come out of our comfort zones and build friendships with people we may not have given the time of day
I thought Ms. Almy was a really great and helpful teacher. Her class made us realize a lot about life and was really good with feedback.
Class is based a lot on communication. Really good class discussions usually and the videos are pretty inspirational. Class is pretty easy if you just do the work, promise. Usually just terms every week quiz at least once or twice a week. The class is very repetitious which I liked because it helped memorize the terms.
She does a good job explaining some of the terms. She shows us how some of the terms pertain to real life experiences. Shes really interested in how your doing and how much you understand of the ciriculum.
I really enjoyed taking this class because the teacher was fun and made me want to come to class. I also think the teacher made everyone in the class comfortable with one another and that helped too. i thought the group assignments were helpful and fun.
alot of interaction with other students.
She is AWESOME
she really helped me when I needed it
Vocab is a huge part of your grade, if you don't do the vocab you are unlikely to pass. Although, it does help your grade tremendously and gives you a better understanding of the whole class. She is an awesome professor who is always willing to work with you. However, you do have to work for your grades. Not many tests, a lot of in class assignment
She always used great examples to make sure we knew what all the terms meant by the end of the class. I also loved doing the group activities, which allowed us to interact and see whathow the terms played out in real life.
She is always smiling and in a pretty good mood every day! Always makes us smile and feel important.
I really enjoyed having her as an instructor. I felt like I got a lot out of the class and it was not hard if you tried. I thought that her idea of the terms is an easier way to remember and I thought that anyone who will take her course would enjoy learning. Overall wonderful teacher!!!
I really enjoyed this class because Prof Almy made it extremely interesting and fun. The way she taught the subjects were clear and to the point and she made them really easy to remember, She also made the topics we were being taught connect to our daily lives so I think it made us want to learn and pay attention more.
great class
Vocab due every week, and there's a lot of projects and in class assignments. We do group work often and are asked to participate in various different activities. Everything we do is interesting and enjoyable. Ms. Almy is a great professor who is always willing to help her students. As long as you go to class and put in the effort you can make an A
She was able to make the subject interesting which is a skill not many professors have. Through games and hands on activities we learn the terms and how to apply them. She is aware of how people learn and how to help them her best.
very good teacher. I really enjoy a class Projects and are discussions that we had in class. The number one thing that I really liked is that I know that we are going to use all of this information in real life.
Good teacher overall. Pretty funny after you get to know her. Not afraid to say whats on her mind. Very verbal.
Ms. Almy was very involved in getting to know her students in a way that made it comfortable for everyone to open up and be involved. She was also very good at giving constructive feedback to help you understand where you're wrong.
Good teacher, funny, very verbal, speaks her mind.
If you hate to step outside of your box this is not the class for you! You will work hard for your grades, homework everyday! However this teacher is amazing, fun outgoing, REALLY cares if you are learning! She keeps you involved, listens to you and always keeps you on your toes! She is sassy and sarcastic, funny... take the class you will love it!
Ms. Almy is an awesome professor. Her class was always the highlight of the day. She's funny, sassy, very verbal, and gets everyone comfortable to open up in class. There is a good bit of extra work so don't expect being able to doze off, but if you love learning, interacting with other students, and opening up your world view her class is perfect.
she is not bad
She was a very good professor.
All in all a good teacher
Wonderful Professor and is firm with her teaching.
very good teacher. I love the way she teaches and i have learned more in this class than any other class
She is a very good teacher. The material she covers is easy to understand as long as you pay attention. It is easy to maintain a high grade since she gives lots of bonus opportunities. I would take her class again.
She likes to give quizzes to help understand the subject better. She wants a lot of creativity. She looks at how creative you are grades you on it. She goes into good detail to help understand the terms. Lots of work, but overall good teacher.
Gives a lot of quizzes. Says many jokes. Has a lot of projects. Grades hard. She will push you to do your best. Pushes you to participate in class. Encourages you to share your opinions and thoughts on subjects. You will learn a lot.
Almy is an excellent professor. If you need help she is there to help. She has no problem giving constructive criticism.
Always do the extra credit it is worth it. She can come off mean sometimes but do not let it get to you because in the end she is really cool and helps out a lot; you do have to ask for the help though.
Ms. Almy is HANDS DOWN one of the BEST teachers I have ever had. She presents information in a way that engages the student's brain and you can tell she really wants her students to succeed. Great lectures!!!! Great reading!!! Her class is full of awesomeness! Take her class and you will not be disappointed! PARTICIPATE IN DISCUSSION!!!!!
if you go to class, you are most likely to make a good grade! she is very specific on what she wants and she makes sure you understand the material. teaching tenique is diverse and entertaining.
we had a lot of assignments. But she gives too much of extra credits
she is great professor funny and good at her job. She is talking from her mind and know what is she talking about. The examples she gave is really perfect. expect a lot of homework!!
She is a very helpful professor. She isn't there to make you fail. she provides A LOT of extra credit so there is no reason for anyone to fail. She does give a bunch of quizzes but they are usually a group quiz so they aren't bad. Her lectures are very understandable and will go further into detail if you still don't understand.
Lexi Almy is a fantastic Teacher. She is very well educated and helpful.I would take the class again given the chance. The quizzes are fairly easy, if you read the assignment(s) and homework is fairly good and easy too. She is easy to understand and talk to,and very fun . If you take her class, you can come out with a feeling of accomplishment.
there is no reason on why anyone should fail the class. she gives out a lot of work, but its easy.
Alot of group activities , pop quizzes over terms. over all a good class just have to show up study discuss and do all your work look at her comments when she grade and you can email and contact her at anytime if you need help very helpful over all one of my favorite classes.
Ms. Almy is a very good, hands on teacher. She makes the class interesting by including great group discussions, games about the subjects were learning, and good humor. You will have to do some work, buts its really not that bad because you will enjoy it. I definitely recommend this class to students who are Sociology majors.
Professor Almy is very fun and hands on teacher. There are a lot of group activities in this class and she keeps it very interesting. So long as you pay attention and do the work you should not have a problem passing this course. If you are shy, she is very good at breaking you out of your shell and getting you in on the discussions. Great Prof!
She is a wonderful teacher. If you get the chance you should take one of her classes. She uses the book a lot and almost every week we have gotten a bonus opportunity.
She is great at helping you if you get stuck and she is also very good at making everyone talk and speak there mind. Be ready to get personal!!!!
You will either like this class, or you will hate it. There is no in between. Be prepared for a lot of work and to be uncomfortable. If you are highly religious, be prepared for people to try and tear it down.
She doe not have any office hours, her grading is really tough and there is a lot of work to be done in this class.
I loved this class, she is a very hard working teacher, be ready to learn and be ready for homework but it is not very hard if you put fourth the effort.
There is a ton of bonus in her class.
Her class is very interactive but mainly participation. Tons of extra credit so easy A. Stay on top of work.
She is a damn good teacher. She makes it her job to make you pass her class. You have to go out of your way and try not to pas if you want an F.
Ms. Almy is an outstanding teacher. She always keeps things interesting, and knows how to involve her students. Would love to take her class again. If you get the chance take her class.
Professor Almy is a great professor! She gives us homework because she expects us to know what she taught us. Attendance is very important.
no office hours
There is a lot of work but it is not hard. Attendance is important.
Ms. Almy's course was one of my favorites so far while attending college. Her easy going attitude and kindness made class more than enjoyable. Her course work was very in depth but easy to understand. The knowledge I gained will be applied daily from now on. My understanding for society has grown exponentially.
I like that you care about the class. We can tell that you want to be there and like what your doing. I really enjoyed the class. Even though I never really talked I liked that you had lots of open disscusions so I could here other peoples thoughts about things. I like that you made things visual and would show videos to better clarify.
Good Professor
She was really cool! Very nice and I learned a lot of information from her.
I all together enjoyed your class. and it is beneficial!!!
I learned a lot and enjoyed it. The type of homework that was assigned really help you know and understand the information. If you put in the effort, there is no reason to not end up with the A. She's corny, friendly, helpful, and loves being a teacher. I would recommend her to anyone.
She cares a lot about the subject and wants students to be able to understand how it applies to your life. Lectures and discussions everyday broken up by the occasional pop quiz or activity. She will work with the students to format the class to better understand the material or the courseload.
Easy class if you pay attention and come to class. In my opinion it is not challenging enough. Other than that the way the course is set up is nice.
great teacher. very honest and clear on things. always willing to help.
Professor Almy is exceptionally animated and easily approachable. She provides lots of help and bonus opportunities. Would highly recommend her.
Super, super easy class but still interesting.
gives extra credit she is awesome more than an awesome I like her class so much she is very cool she is helpful af
Cares about her students.
She gives extra credit which is really helpful. Missing class isn't really possible but the extra credit helps when you do have to miss. Many quizzes and weekly homework. Hardly any test. Lots of group work but you get comfortable with it.
Shes a cool teacher and gives you plenty of homework to raise grade and or lower it your choice
Cool class is you want to learn to get out of your shell but not a easy A class
Loved this class
this class was fun because of the teacher she is amazing and people could learn a lot from her
This professor is great! She is so chill and has a very simple grading criteria. If you show up to class and do your work it's super easy to pass with a high A.
This is a class you can have a really great grade in but need to be on the ball of things in this class. this is a fun class that you also need to do you work in.
Just do the work every week, show up to class, and pay attention. Th class can be fun if you want it to be.
It was an amazing class. I took it as a concurrent class, and it was a great first college class. I really enjoyed all of the class discussions and activities. I was not a fan of the group quizzes, because I always did it all on my own.
This is not a blow off class.
gives a lot of work but if you work hard and ask questions your semester will be easy. Makes sure to participate a lot and pay attention to lectures most of the notes in class will be on the quizzes.
Does not give clear reasoning on how she grades your papers. very dedicated to teaching ahelping students
Great Professor who cares about her students
Ms. Almy is very respectful of her students, and very helpful. The class is very interesting.
Professor Almy is a great teacher! She expects participation and attendance is a HUGE part of your grade. Lots of in class discussions, some of the topics are controversial. Lots of busy work but its simple. If you do the homework you will most likely receive a good grade. I have learned a lot in this class.
I think she is a great teacher she really cares about her students and she is always wanting to help students understand whats going she loves when you participate in things I think its because it will better her and you too she wants to hear your voice and she is very understanding :)
Ms. Almy has been one of my favorite professors since freshmen orn. and I always recommend her to my friends and my family that is attending NOC. I also think it is cool how much extra credit she offers.
Professor Almy is a really good professor who makes learning fun and easy. If you suck at showing up, DONT TAKE HER CLASS. You will fail... Although she does make learning interesting by always changing how we learn. Games, lectures, other act.
Likes to bring the class together by playing games and doing group activities that associate with the chapter.
The best way to pass this class is get involved, participate, and use your peers as a resource
expect to get a lot of homework hard essays
She is very nice and she cares about every single student and gives a lot of extra credit.
Get ready to do a lot of outside the class work. the outside work doesn't require a lot of brain power just time.
I wasn't to hot on this class at the beginning but she grew on me, she assigns alot of homework but for the most part it is not difficult. Lots of extra credit.
Lots of homework, class activities, easy to pass, and good discussions.
She was by far the best professor I've had. Sometimes she can give you tough love but that's only because she wants you to succeed. She also gives out A LOT of bonus opportunities that help you tremendously. She's fun and makes class a place you want to go to at 9am. If she taught other subjects I would definitely request her!
I think she's a great instructor and I wouldn't change a thing how she teaches.
there are not many tests, but there are a lot of quizzes
Good teacher. Well organized.
i think that this class was exceptional at teaching us new things
Great class! Lots of homework but gives plenty of extra credit for it.
Shes a great teacher and really connects with her students.
She makes class very interesting and fun! Lots of group activities that really help you grasp the concepts. A lot of Extra credit!!
homework every week but its pretty easy, attendance is mandatory, there are a lot of extra credit opportunities.
Very informative, easy-going, makes learning somewhat fun. Grows on you during the semester. I enjoyed this class and learned a few things about understanding people in it. Overall great class, she wants you to succeed.
Very good teacher, very invested into the student. Wants you to pass her class with flying colors. Homework heavy class but if you can get by with doing the work and studying the vocabulary of each chapter youll be fine.
She gives homework often but its not difficult. Takes off points for being late so be on time to class. She loves participation a lot of the classes are mostly discussions. Lots of group work and getting out of your comfort zone. She gives good reviews and if you just come to class and do the work you will get an easy A.
There is quite a bit of work, but it is easy. Show up to class, participate, do the homework and you wont need to do any of the many chances for extra credit.
i loved this class but given that it was and earlier morning class our participation was lacking.
When I decided to take this course I figured that I would be able to coast through and receive a passing grade. Little did I know at the time but I was about to embark on an epic journey into the mind of a serious professor. Professor Almy is one of the best professors at the NOC Stillwater location. She wants her students to SUCCEED!! GO For IT
This professor is really good. She takes time and energy to put into the class and to teach. She goes above and beyond to make the class fun, but the only downside is if you do not like interacting with people or having homework every week then this class is not for you. She is always willing to meet with you outside for help on anything
This professor is great. She gives a lot of homework that makes you think, but she also offers extra credit in case you did not do too good on something. Anyone can receive an a for this class if you pay attention and do the homework. It is a thinking class. I suggest her to anyone. The things i have learned in this class i use outside of class.
Ms. Almy is a very respected teacher. I love her teaching styles and sometimes corny jokes. Throughout the semester she had the pleasure of making each subject fun, literally tying every single subject into our personal lives. It was a joy having here and I would love to have her as a teacher again.
She is a well organized professor, and you will have some very deep discussions in in classroom which will challenge your critical thinking. The homework comes often but it really is not hard just put in the time to do it and you will do great for sure. i have forgotten many assignments in this class and i am still doing good thanks to the extra.
Always homework, but it's never super hard
Professor Almy puts a lot of work into the class and the lectures throughout, she relates activities to class lectures and makes you use a lot of critical thinking. Attendance is a big part of your grade in her class and you won't do so well if you can't show up for every class.
The class is very hands on. You have to be prepared to get involved. I loved the class because we can get active and she really helps you get an understanding of each lesson through activities, games and interactive lectures. You have to come to class, that's the basis of this course. If you don't like to talk and share your opinions you will fail!
There is lots of assignments. But she offers extra credit. willing to help when you don't understand or if you are struggling with a assignment. she has lots of enthusiasm. Very active teacher, you must get involved and participate in class. she is a very forward and up front professor. She doesn't beat around the bush when getting you to learn
Ms. Almy is very good teacher. i have learn from this class a lot. i am international student i learn more about the American society. the most thing i didn't like about this class is the homework are very long. also, the bounce are not easy . moreover, the topic were bold. i didn't like the midterm it was unfair.
She really cares and is willing to help.
It was hard
There were some activities that make you get out of your comfort zone. But they also help you understand different perspectives.
A lot of homework! But it's super easy homework!
Crazy amount of extra credit. If you fail you must not have tried.
Can grade a little harsh at times but explains her reasoning. Offers a lot of extra credit opportunities and you will have homework at least 1-2 times a week
Really sweet professor. Very understanding but also a tough grader. I would highly recommend this class if you are a hands on kind of Learner rather than lectures. It's a fun class
She's the best professor I've ever had, I love how personal she is with everyone. She doesn't pick favorites, she treats everyone equally. Also this is the first class in my college career that I've gotten to know almost everyone that is taking the course and that's because of how Almy sets up her discussions. It's never boring, always interesting.
She was ok, I would recommend to take her to learn new perspectives and break your own comfort zone.
Constantly improving.
This class is wonderful and the more open and the more talkativ you are the better the class. While there is a lot of homework if you come to class you will pass. Pop Quizze are fun and if you pay attention you will pass. She is great at letting people share their thoughts and don't disrepect anyone in her class good way to make you mad. Easy going
Class is as fun as you make it!
Good teacher but not for everyone.
Great professor, make friend in the class and you can have a really good time. Very interactive and engaging. I recommend it highly
Great professor
Challenges students to use critical thinking. Puts great effort into opening our minds. Applies the topic to current events and demonstrates relevance of applying sociology.
This is a great class to take with her! The class is participation based so it's important to show up for class. Lots of group activities, chapter terms, and occasional quizzes. Only tests are the midterm and final. As long as you participate, and do your work you should succeed.

If you don't mind a million assignments, with tons of details then take the class! Group projects and speaking out loud is a must! Get ready to get out of your comfort zone!
Professor Almy is the best professor I've ever had!! Extremely fun and also patience. Loved the class and the way she makes you think about things. I wish she offered others classes so I could have her again!
The only professional professor at NOC. Passionate about her lectures and very willing to help.
This was taken over zoom for me, but easily favorite class over the semester. Professor Almy is very communicative. Lots of assignments, but very simple. As long as you do take just a little time to do your work, you'll have a decent grade.
Took online, but it's best to show up to the meetings to at least understand what's going on.
Professor Almy was hands down the best professor I have ever had. She truly cares about her students and their success. Her class is very engaging and she works really hard to make sure that her class is a fun, safe environment for ALL students. She focuses a lot on mental health and the mental health of her students, which you don't find often.
Great professor, one of the best I have had. The assignments are easy and straightforward.
I personally struggled with being in class because of outside circumstances, so my grade dropped, but Professor Almy is wonderful. Yes you need to do your work, but she gives you plenty of chances and is beside you every step of the way. Don't be like me and be more vocal with your struggles, because she will for sure help.
Professor Almy is a great professor when it comes to Social Problems. Even though we were online, she still kept me engaged and interested in the class. The topics are heavy but she takes precautions when it comes to how every student feels. She does not mind if you do not join the class and she is very helpful as well as mindful of others.
I took this class virtually over zoom and it was my easiest class by far. She doesn't focus on grades and focuses more on the class being able to have an open conversation. There are a few assignments that will take some time, but honestly, if you're taking a 2000 course it shouldn't be difficult. As well as there was no true final.
discussions pretty one ended and kinda boring, can feel pretty how do you do fellow kids at times but its a nice class, nice professor, probably would benefit from watching social problems in action and how it affected people irl instead of just talking about it, decent enough work that gets you thinkin doe sometimes
She is a great professor and really cares about her students. A. lot of her discussions can be one-sided but nothing too bad. Overall I really enjoyed taking this class. When grading, she gives a lot of helpful feedback. She also doesn't assign many hard assignments so that was nice.
