Lisa (her choice) is very knowledgeable about her subject matter. She however does give the appearance of not wanting to be there.I think it is more the fact that it is a GEN ED and not something she can sink her teeth into than anything else.

I LOVED LISA! She is super funny during class and I loved her lectures! I learned a LOT in her class. The assignments are easy the tests can be difficult but if you go to class and review notes and read the chapters you'll be fine! Plus she bumps you up if you attend and participate! Great teacher!

I don't know what some people on here are saying! Lisa is awesome! We always got out of class early and her lectures are very interesting and funny. She gives a study guide for tests and offers extra credit opportunities. The tests are comprehensive, but just come to class and you will know the material. TAKE HER! She is wonderful! I got an easy A!

likes to get outta class early. lots of nice tiny tiny assignments. MUST READ THE BOOK. kinda funny. nice lady

She stereotypes! She can be very rude. Tests arent bad as long as you read the book. She gives a few easy 100s so its good to go to class but she doesnt take roll.

Shes OK,not wow,but she knows her stuff.If she sees you make an effort for her class, she takes that into account.As for the class tests are based completely on txtbk, so buy it.Quizes,drops the lowest grade.About 6 easy assignments,no more than 1pg.If u read,do assgments& do well on tests u can pass. I got an A in her class.

Lisa is a great teacher. She has a very dry sense of humor, which people seem to misread. The class is very eye opening and makes you look at things you might not have even thought about before. There's nothing particularly hard or unexpected, and it's a very interesting class.

She's ok. Attendance isn't taken, but she gives pop quizzes and in class assignments so you need to go. A lot of reading each week and a lot of material covered on the test. Often gives easy 100's if you come to class. 4 1 page papers, three exams and pop quizzes make up your grade. Gives some extra credit. Not an easy a, but it is do-able.

Easy class to take if you just do the work. However she is VERY opinionated, she only sees things from her perspective and if you differ you are wrong. Other than discussions, this class is not bad at all as long as you do the work and go to class. You will need the book, tests come strait from it and the readings.

This class is EASY and INTERESTING. Lisa is brutally honest, insightful and has a weird but funny sense of humor. A few papers and some very easy tests straight from the book.

I looooved Prof. Lepard alot! I think she's the best teacher I've ever had.Loved her teaching style. She lets you look at your notes for the quizes which makes you read the book!!!!! Everything on the quizes is from the book, so you have to take good notes especially the names of people in the book. I learned a lot. She's a wonderful human being.

This class took up a lot of my time outside of class. I complained all semester about how much I had to study for this class but it was worth it. She gives a lot of extra credit opportunities and is not a tough grader. More importantly, I really learned a lot and have a better perspective of society.

Lisa seems like she dosn't want to be in class and is always kind of ticked off. Having said that, she clearly loves sociology and if you just come to class & participate in discussion, you'll learn so much and get lots of xtra credit. Ended up loving this prof. Would take her again. Easy if you do the reading and come to class.

An EZ class if you are going to pass this course. She is super nice, polite and helpful. But... You need to write at least 4 papers during the semester, so think about if you don't like papers, you may want to take a different professor.

She came off as not wanting to be there, but I think she actually enjoys her work and takes it very seriously. You have to read the chapers and be prepared for quizes, but you're allowed to use the notes you take. She gives study guides for the tests and extra credit opportunities. I found the course to be easy and got an A. Just study and read.

Quizzes every week. Take good notes- you can use them on quiz. Cannot make up quizzes missed, so don't miss classes. She was getting angry at people leaving at break, so she added another quiz (attendance sheet, really) to help the people who actually stayed for the whole lecture. Liked her a lot, interested in discussions and what students thought

She is not the most enthusiastic teacher, but you can tell she enjoys what she does. The class is fun and interesting--lets people input their own stories and experiences. Make sure you read the chapters before class and take notes.You can use them on the quizzes and they help out a lot.She cares about your grade and will work with you-extra credit

Be prepared to read every chapter word for word. 99% of her quizes (15) will come from the book. (3) major tests will also come from the book and quizes. Lectures are minimal. Towards the end of semester there was extra credit to help pull anyone up a letter grade. My first test was a 61%, but I did well the rest of the class and made it with an A.

She is a great teacher and is not afraid to speak her mind. She is very nice about extending quiz dates and offering extra credit. Be sure to come to class for the pop quizzes! Great class.

One of my favorite professors, she makes you think in ways you didn't before. She curved some of the tests but they were extremely hard. She is very interesting to listen to but nothing she says is on the test. You seriously have to study the book to make a descent grade it. Oh yeah and there are pop quizzes over the readings!

She is a great professor! She makes class interesting. She is straight forward and clear. Tests are difficult, but if you read all the chapters you will probably do pretty well. Attendance is not mandatory, but if you go you will do WAY better.

I LOVE professor lepard! She is great, she is hilarious and made class completely enjoyable. I didn't exactly get the grade i wanted but that is my own mistake for not studying alot. You have to read ALOT for her class but its not difficult material.

Great teacher. Very funny and interested in the subject. Her class made me consider majoring in Sociology. Go to all classes, because she gives the answers to quizzes in class. Also, READ THE BOOK. You won't regret it.

Professor Lepard is awesome. Don't listen to the comments about how she doesn't like to be there because she does. She just has a dry sense of humor and many people just take it as her being mean or insensitive, when really she's a sweet lady. Attendance not mandatory, you can get away with texting just don't talk in her class. She's super helpful

Easy online quizzes, in class tests are harder. Very biased lessons. You will watch a lot of videos supporting her beliefs on what American society is like, many of which are one sided and somewhat extreme. Class is easy, just does not contain the unbiased material a sociology class should.

Hilarious. She will call you out for making stupid comments in class, so behave and you'll be fine. She is helpful but only if you ask her yourself. Tests are ok, if you miss class or don't take notes you will not do well. READ THE BOOK.

class is easy if you read the chapters. She gives extra credit opportunities that are simple for all tests except the last one. There is no final but only a test. The class is interesting. I would highly recommend you take her. I am not just saying this to screw anyone over...personally i got a C in the class but still enjoyed it.

The class is pretty easy, if there is a better professor though on this site, take them. Lepard makes it seem like she doesnt want to be there, and it got on my nerves. but who gives a crap. quizzes are easy. tests are harder. YOU HAVE TO READ EACH CHAPTER ASSIGNED THOROUGHLY if you want to pass the tests. So if you're into that, take her.

SHE IS HILARIOUS! Will keep you straight and honest. READ the book. You have to if you want to pass the tests. Really funny and very interesting.

Ms. Lepard is a pretty funny teacher, and seems to have a good understanding of the material she teaches. She gave online quizzes which were fairly easy and three tests that were somewhat difficult. She offered extra credit on the tests though, and I got an A.

Prof. Lepard is AWESOME. She knows what she's talking about and she's actually really fun. She's so nice outside of class as well. You should talk with her if you get the chance. The course material isn't hard per se, but you should read the chapters in the book. Most of it will be on the test! The test are hard, but you can pass this class! :D

Down to earth

One of the greatest professors I've ever taken. Extremely witty and intelligent and very very kind. She obviously loves what she does but has a very dry sense of humor, which apparently some people don't get. The class was amazing and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone open-minded enough to handle the material. Tests are pretty hard though.

Definitely a good professor. Lectures are enjoyable and the assignments are clear and straightforward. Go to class and do the reading and you will make an A. The tests are easy and multiple choice and there are no papers. She's a little opinionated but it stirs things up which keeps class from being boring.

I loved this course! She is a great teacher, who is more than willing to help if you are willing to learn. You definitely have to study, but getting a good grade is possible. She made the class interesting, was relative and humorous! I definitely plan to take another one of her courses!

Extremely opened minded and receptive to students challenging her ideas. She actually cares about what she teaches. Bonus: funny, witty, and extremely helpful. Will take another course by her again.

If you read the chapters and attend class then you will get an A in her class. I got a B only because I didn't read the text. Lectures are interesting but she doesn't always seem very happy to be there. My only problem with her was she never emailed me back when I had questions. Overall, easy class!

Interesting class, learned a lot! It is kind of hard if you don't study though. The class is 3 tests and that's it. The teacher sometimes seemed moody but she was funny most of the time! I recommend the class but studying is a must.

I found this class very interesting for the most part. She's pretty cynical, but she'll definitely make you laugh at times. Study for her tests - her questions can be difficult. You will need the textbook and need to take notes.

Very easy professor. She is reasonable and fair. This class shouldn't be a problem for you. Attendance not required, and if you study even a little bit, you should be totally fine.

If you show up to the lectures, and take good notes, the class is super easy. My recommendation is to bring your laptop and type your notes- it's usually faster than writing. She posts study guides, so the tests aren't difficult. She gives out extra credit too, but you have to show up to class.

Lepard is funny and I enjoyed the class a lot. The study guides are kinda vague and the test questions are VERY specific, so make sure you do the reading. three tests with an optional cumulative final. She does give quite a bit of extra credit but you have to go to class for it usually. it's difficult because of her tests, but I'd take it again.

she was a great professor. I took her and found her to be pretty interesting straight from the get-go because everything she talks about is interesting. As far as her tests, google and a lot of notes got me a high B. Had I done better on the final (which replaces a test grade) I'd have had an A. Extra Credit is a LIFE SAVER. Be on her good side.

Professor Lepard has a really bad rep, but honestly she just expects us to be able to act like adults. She is very clear about what she wants and does not bend the rules for anyone. I like this type of class because what is expected of me is very clear. She is funny, good at teaching (If you listen), and will help if you make the effort.

Puts her lecture nots on D2L but they are so general that you have to go to class to pass. Only gives 4 test but gives a lot of extra credit. She is hilarious so class went by fast but expect to take a lot of notes. I recommend to record them. Study your notes and get the book. Most test are 50% lecture and 50% book.

She's very sarcastic. I understood every part of the material she was teaching. Only 3 exams, final not mandatory. Test are hard- study her lecture notes, the textbook and mainly the readings and videos she posts online and watches in class. Overall not a bad class.

She is a liberal professor and can be annoying but if you go to class and take notes, you shouldn't have a problem. I listenedtook notes, printed them, read them, and got high B's on the tests. The textbook isn't really necessary if you go to class. Put a little effort in and you will do fine. She also gave extra credit, which raised my grade!

Awesome professor. She is very blunt, but it's for the better. Everything she speaks out of her mouth - expect it on the test. Don't worry though, it's not THAT much. As long as you take sufficient notes on main components of the chapter you're going to pass with no problem. Don't be afraid to ask for help 1 on 1, she's such a nice lady!

Very blunt. There were 4 tests and an optional final that replaces lowest test grade. She does online quizzes 3 short ones for every test. Does not take attendance but i do not advise you to miss a lot of class because she does cover the material and shows videos in class. Does lecture a lot but tries not to do it the whole class. Great class

The lectures are great and most of the test material comes straight from the lecture. No need to buy the book but make sure you attend the lecture. She locks the doors if you're late. Show up and study and you'll do well.

Pretty good Teacher i would recommend taking her .. shes funny and her lectures can be pretty interesting. she does not do late she locks the door everyday on time which I hated. But, she doesnt take attendance. Her class want to hard if you just did the work and attended class .. I would recommend her

I am currently taking this professor online for her intro level 2 hour sociology class. I was skeptical because she is head of the department. There are 2 discussion posts per chapter - one short, one long. Then, there is a 5 minute 5 question quiz. These questions are tough, and very specific. You HAVE to read the chapter to basically make an A.

I took her online class this past summer. There is plenty of work to do, however, I took her 4 week summer course. The work load was a lot but manageable. The quizzes online are only five questions with five minutes to take them.

She's clear about what's on tests and makes study guides for each one. Tests are about 50% book and 50% lecture, and aren't hard if you pay attention. Book is online and reading quizzes are mandatory, but they're easy and let you retry questions . Quiz average counts for a test grade which definitely helps get your grade up.

LOVE her!! Don't let bad reviews get in the way of taking this course. I enjoyed going to class, interesting lectures. She cancels class a few times. Class is not mandatory but she gives extra credit IF you go to class. So I recommend you don't miss any classes. Tests mostly come from lecture & readings.

Good teacher, really nice and helpful, but tests are pretty tough. Got a C on all the tests but with the extra credit managed to get a B in the class. I recommend her

Was an overall ok teacher, loved her sarcasm in class. All we do is take notes quickly, because she talks fast and we watched documentaries when she didn't feel like teaching. Tests are pretty difficult the first one was easy but then the tests got harder. Would recommend taking her if you are willing to work hard.

Ms. Lepard is a wonderful professor. She teaches you things that can be used in your everyday life. She gives plenty of extra credit, so go to class. Also, She can be a bit monotone, but the material she teaches are very interesting. I suggest sitting in the front row, so she can see you care.

By far one of my favorite professors. Super sweet, and very blunt. She is always there to help you, and clarify things if you need it. She's funny and relates topics into our everyday lives. Her test are super super hard though. You also need to read articles and book for the test and do online quizzes (easy).

Very passionate about what she teaches! This class was always interesting and her sarcasm is hilarious. Her tests are very hard but if you come to class every day you'll do fine just pay attention and take good notes. The quizzes are super easy and you can use notes because they're online. Also offers extra credit. Hard A but I would take again!

She has a great sense of humor and is really into what she teaches. She gives a lot of extra credit but you have to show up and stay in class. You have to read and listen in lecture in order to do well on the exams. Powerpoints and study guides are not specific. It is possible to make an A but you have to put in the effort. Don't talk while she is!

She's really nice as long as you aren't late. She makes pretty good jokes and makes class enjoyable. You need to read the book a lot though. Pretty clear cut, a few tests and a final, drops your lowest grade with the final if you do better. Over all, interesting class and would take again.

Favorite teacher so far in college. She relates all her lectures to everyday life, making them very interested. You don't have to come to class, but highly recommend it because she offers a lot of extra credit for students that do. Don't be late, its her biggest pet peeve. Test are hard, don't wait to start studying. Quizzes are easy.

I took this class online for just a 10-week course and, as everyone knows, clarity is important for an online class. Dr. Lepard was very clear about grading criteria and much of the material was interesting. When the class encountered issues with MindTap, she handled it immediately and had us just use D2L. Helpful professor, reasonable workload.

Very funny and sarcastic. She is pretty clear about what she expects. Tests can be tough, but can easily get an A with a bit of studying. Tests are half book half lecture so go to class. Her biggest pet peeve is being late, she wont let you in after class begins. Only big issue is that she cancels class quite often without warning.

I took her for perspectives in sociology, and she was really funny but is sarcastic, and will be rude to you if you are a smart-ass. You have to read and know the chapters like the back of your hand for her tests but it's not that hard. Just do what she says and study and you'll be fine!

She's very opinionated but funny and sarcastic so the lectures aren't boring. DO NOT SKIP because she likes to randomly show videos in class and she asks questions regarding the videos on her exams. There are quizzes for each chapter online. Tests are straight-forward. Final was 50 question true or false so SUPER easy. Read the book. Easy A

Lisa Lepard is awesome. She is very clear on what she expects from you, and she gives great, entertaining lectures. I can honestly say I have never been bored in her class. She is very blunt, but honestly I appreciate that, and she's actually very nice! Make sure to READ READ READ the textbook and attend class!! Anything in lecture is fair game!

Great professor!She made me want to change my major to Sociology, that's how great of a teacher she is. She is so passionate about her work & is very open-minded which is amazing. If you have any questions before or during the test she will help you out as much as she can. Her lectures are really interesting & have a open mind when attending class.

Personally, one of my favorite professors! Super passionate about almost everything she talks about so it's easy to get interested during class. Tests are kinda hard but if you study the quiz questions from the chapters, you'll notice they're the same (have your whole class email all your quiz questions to each other as every quiz is different).

I loved Professor Lepard! She tells you how it is, but she is also very funny. Lectures are long and sometimes boring, but she tries to keep students engaged with videos and pictures. She gives plenty of opportunity for extra credit. Easy A!

Don't come to late class. May seem a little up front, but really cares about the students and wants everyone to get a good grade. Read and pay attention in class.

Professor is hilarious, interesting and a great lecturer. However, her tests are tough and if skipping is regular for you, your grade will for sure be a failing one. Tests are based on information IN CLASS and not in the textbook.

she's cool

4 test and a optional final that replaces your lowest test grade. There are quizzes online for every chapter, super easy. You can take the quiz as many times as you want until you get the grade you want (the quizzes do have a due date so be aware). The test are difficult but if you take notes during lecture and read the book you will be fine!

Her class is lecture heavy and takes most of her test questions from content covered in class. Her lectures can be a little dry, but she doesn't put up with BS and tries to connect the class to real life. She's clear about what she expects and it is an easy A.

I enjoyed this class a lot. People have an issue with her because she is opinionated. But less mature (freshmen) students aren't able to respectfully disagree without being personally offended. I enjoyed her sense of humor and her lectures. The tests are not the easiest & she pulls questions from movies we watch (which are really hard to remember)

She is a very funny person, has interesting lectures, and cares about her students, but her tests are pretty difficult. Extra credit was my saving grace at the end of the year, make sure to take advantage of every opportunity. Very hard to get an A. Cancels class a lot which is a plus.

loved the class and her! easy A if you read the book and watch the videos. had an A all semester till the last test was 2 days before my chemistry final- chem came first. test may be difficult to some, but you'll be fine if you know how to study, work hard, and read the book! your grade reflects the work you put into it

She does NOT play about being on time. Doors lock after the start of class. She's awesome though. Easy class. I skip a lot but she shows videos you don't wanna miss. I haven't made anything less than a 70 on her tests.

Lisa is a great professor!! You have to show that you are a dedicated student in her class!! Many students don't reach out to her for help which isn't her fault. She offers students help during office hours. Yes you have to read and yes you have to come to class! No student should expect an easy "A." You're awesome Lisa!

Great professor! She's very sarcastic and its so funny. I loved her. TAKE HER! Four tests and final was optional. Online quizzes are easy and she gave a lot of extra credit.. if she offers TAKE IT

She is one of the best professors i've ever had. Keep in mind that sociology is a LIBERAL concept before taking this class. She's very sarcastic and does not tolerate disrespect. You need to read the book in order to pass. She is the one who made me want to declare my minor as sociology.

I really liked her class! She is funny and helpful professor. She really cares about student feedback and grades, giving plenty of extra credit and quick to respond to any questions you may have! I would definitely take her again!
