I had her for Social Problems and she was awesome. She's not boring at all and she's very personable. If you need help or anything she's always there to help you! Very awesome teacher, I'd take another one of her classes.
I have taken Mrs. Sims for Intor to Sociology and Social Problems. She is an Excellant teacher, and person
Mrs. Sims is very approachable if you ever need help. She is an awesome person. She is fun to listen to and teaches the class with a passion. She has been one of my favorite teachers and I would recommend any of her classes!! She is GREAT!!
ms sims is a great teacher. she's quite personable, and she teaches class with such a unique flair. she gets so into it, and each day in class is better than the day before. i would highly recommend ms sims to anyone. 'how great she is' story: she actually bought me thin mint girl scout cookies.
Treat this lady nice and the favor will be returned. She is an absolutely great teacher, just don't get on her bad side.
Ms. Sims is very fun! she is involved in her lectures and she keeps the class interested the whole time. You need the book, go to class, and take good notes.
Great online teacher!! Very Fun!!!
She is a great teacher and the lectures are actually interesting. She will basicly tell you whats on the exams, do you study guides before quizs and tests. She is also very nice!!
She is so sweet. Her classes are easy online, and she is very helpful. I never met a teacher as understanding and patient as Ms. Sims.
mrs simms is a great teacher. her lectures are interesting and fun. she also has a very fair grading procedure. if youre looking for a fun/easy class, this is the one for you.
She is very helpful and nice. I was glad to take her class.
Took her online. Ms. Sims is absolutely the best teacher I have ever had. She is so easy to get along with, so understanding, willing to go the extra mile and just in general always there to help the student in whatever way they need her. I have never had an instructor so willing to put her heart and soul into a class but Ms. Sims does. TAKE HER!!!
Ms. Sims was INCREDIBLY organized, helpful, and extremely personable. I took an online course. Although I never met her personally, she encouraged class discussions and went out of her way to help all of us. I highly recommend her. She is ultra-organized and open to any question that a student may have.
Ms. Sims was an excellent teacher. My first online class and it went incredibly smooth. Her tests and essay can be challenging, but she is organized and always willing to answer questions and offer extra credit. A great experience...take her :)
What an awesome setup for WebCT. Very ease to follow, testing was on all of the forementioned material. I was amazed how easy it was to sit at home and take the course online. B. well I take that for time put into the class. I tried... yo
great teacher. took her over the summer for intro sociology. she's a stickler for punctuality but other than that, she was pretty easy going. i enjoyed her lecture and actually learned more than i thought i would. made my summer a little brighter :)
Great teacher. super sweet. don't be late and don't leave early though haha but that is the worst part. she is fun and wants students to pass test arent super easy but you can make an A in the class with all B's on the tests like me. take mrs. sims
Mrs.Sims was very helpful, organized and structured. I took her this summer online class.It was great. She keeps communications lines very open. This was a great summer online class.
Great on line class. The discussions were fun. You need to do the assignments and read the chapters. She tells you exactly what she wants. She offers extra credit. I enjoyed the class more than I thought I would. Do your work and you will get an A
Possibly one of the BEST instructors I've ever had. Let us have a coffee pot during summer classes. Helpful, courteous, honest and sweet. This is the epitome of what a great teacher should be. DAMN our system for not paying these instructors better. This is a woman who definitely deserves it! This is a GREAT instructor who's heart is in her work
She was so awesome as an instructor. Her class was very interesting! She was very helpful and was full of information. I HIGHLY recommend her. She doesn't center everything around tests and there are LOTS of opportunities to get extra points. There is NO WAY that you can fail this class... unless you just never come or participate.
I had Ms. Sims for Sociology. She is absolutely the bomb. If all teachers were like her, no student would stay behind. She is totally student oriented. I took the course online and wish that I would've taken it in class just because I would've loved to meet this extraordinary woman. I highly recommend her.
Took the Sociology class online. Great teacher, even in an online setting. Makes it interesting, gives lots of opportunities for extra credit. If you read her instructions and read the book there's no way you can't ace the class.
i took mrs. sims for sociology. i had no interest in the class when i first started and at the end i loved it. she makes the class fun and interesting and relates things to real life. she gives a lot of chances to make extra credit points so take advantage of it. i passed the class with an A. she is a great/easy teacher!
I had her for Intro to Sociology. Awesome professor. Highly recomended. Yes there is some work and reading. She gives great lectures and helps apply it to real life through examples and stories. Keep up the great work Ms Sims!!!!!
I took Intro to Anthropology online. It was pretty easy, read the chapters, do the ch. objectives, take a quiz and then a test. Plus two discussion postings. Just do your work and get it in on time. I emailed her and got a prompt answer, other than that I didn't really need any help. She was a little slow at grading, not too bad
I do not recommend this teacher! I worked my butt off on her online class and walked away with a C. Her standards are way to high. And the discussion questions suck. She needs to retire!
Ms. Sims is a great teacher who loves the subject she teaches. She relates things to real life and is always in a good mood. If you pay attention and study you'll make an A with no problem.
I do not recommend this teacher to anyone looking for thought provoking coverage of the topic, but if you want an easy (boring) class this is the one for you. She is very nice and a good person, but her style of teaching felt more like kindergarten than college level.
Took her online and it was a little challenging. Just have to read the chapters which i didnt do but still came out with an A. I enjoyed writing about the topics she chose. Only 6 200 word essays (which are a breeze) and 6 50 word responses and 6 tests. Really pretty easy. I enjoyed it.
She's a great professor. This semester, instead of quizzes for every chapter she made it into Unit tests for every two. So we as a class, had to read to two chapter but we got to discuss various subjects on hand. So take her and you'll pass!
Easy A type of class.Study for tests and do 2 papers and you are set.Tends to lean pretty conservatively,so if you are easily offended,dont take.Lectures are mostly out of the book.Gives lots of extra credit.Talks a lot and topics are normally personal or off topic, but still a fun class.Shows lots of videos.
i took this course online and HATED IT! there are five unit tests and they are extremely tough and detailed! her discussions and papers are easy. please please do not take this course online or any other course online. they are tough! I made a 96 in BSC1093 but a C+ in SYG?! STAY AWAY FROM ONLINE CLASSES
I had taken sociology before at another school. I hated it so much that I hardly went to class. Mrs. Sim's made this topic fun. Lots of classroom discussion and lots of information. Sociology is truly a class that you have to take in person. I recommend Mrs. Sims to anyone needing to take Soci. or Anthro. Just make sure to participate, its more fun
Wonderful person! However, I studied and tried in class and could only pull a B. She really tries to make the test understandable but some times I just couldn't understand some things. That is very unusual for me I had a 3.92 before this and nutrition dropped it to a 3.86 =( even though I didn't make an A I would still take her in the future.
Sweet teacher/fun class! Take notes of EVERYTHING she says, do your writing assignments, turn in your notes on test days for ex. pts. do end of the chapter ?'s, don't miss a class (when I did, I made a B on a test when I usually made A's). Don't rush through the tests...so many people did and had problems. Think them through and you'll do GREAT!
I am taking this class online. I am an "A" student, and I work hard to be as such. This class online is INSANE! ONLY take this class online if you are looking for a good challenge, or just have extra time on your hands. If I had this to do over again, I would be in a classroom setting. Ms. Sims warns you in the begining...heed what she says!
I took this class online. It was not hard, you just have to actually read the chapters and take your time on the tests. Should be a pretty easy A
She is a sweet lady and very funny but if you want to learn as much as you can about the subject I would advise you to not take this class. Her lessons were scattered and she gets off topic very easily. It was a really easy class but I don't feel it should've been that easy. I learned more about her family than anthropology.
Mrs. Sims is awesome! She's so funny and really smart and kind. Intro to sociology was really interesting and fun. Take her classes if you get a chance!!!
Mrs. Sims is very nice and fair. My only realy complaint was her essay grading. I get great grades on papers in english, but she could never give me anything but a C on my essays and I have asked her what I could do and tried to apply it, but nothing changed. So, she grade essays pretty harshly. Her tests are pretty hard, so I really had to study.
Prof. Sims is the best! I loved the online class and wish I could take her class in person. The format was very easy and I really enjoyed the variety of interaction for an online class. She was great about giving feedback and enthusiastic about the material.
I took Mrs. Sims' online class. She was actually recommended to me by another teacher. She gives a syllabus and lets the class know just what she expects, as well as sending out periodic emails with helpful info or pointers. She is a good teacher that I would recommend.
Amazing Teacher! She is AWESOME. Funny, nice, and tells everything very straight forward. Really a great class. Take notes during class, look at the quizzes in the back of the book, and enjoy the easy A.
Ms. Sims is AWESOME!!! Kind, upbeat, compassionate, positive, great communication, can't say enough good about her. Highly recommend her!!
She was a fantastic teacher. One of the best at the school. Checks papers on time, excellent feedback, clear and fair. She made the material very interesting and relevant!
GREAT TEACHER. GREAT CLASS. TAKE HER IN PERSON. PERIOD!
Awesome teacher!! So glad I took her because I almost didn't based on the reviews. Easy class, as long as you read the chapters you'll get a good grade. The paper at the end is easy. Was never interested in this subject, but Mrs. Sims is funny and has a great personality. I wish she taught all my classes!
Awesome teacher!! If you are needing to take sociology....be sure to gain a seat in Mrs. Sims class. You will not regret it. Mrs. Sims is enthusiastic, fun, and entertaining.
Took her for syg 2000 online. I made a high B for the final grade but I wansnt please with mrs sims. Messed up my grades in the gradebook and didn't respond to all of my emails.
Very discussion-based class, so if you just want to listen to a teacher, this is not the class for you. She is very good at tying discussion back to the topic, however, and teaching in a clear way.
BEST TEACHER!!! She is really funny and class is always entertaining.Plus she is super sweet. So far this is my favorite class.
Aaaah sims. What a character x] She's a neat lady. Easy to understand, discussion based class. Easy grader just try your hardest and youll get an A. Most of test come from study review in the back of the book. Take anthropology with her too if you get a chance. Just a really pleasant experience
Ms. Sims is a Great teacher and and the class is very easy if you attend and do what your told and on time. There is alot of group discussions in the class and she will really appreciate if everyone is involved in the dicussions. If this is on your Degree Audit you MUST take it.
Great teacher! Keeps the class interesting. If you listen, take notes, and read at least the chapter reviews in the book you can pass. If you study at all you will have an A. She likes to give extra credit too.
Mrs.SIms is a sweet lady an she is more than willing to help you. She gives extra credit for making study notes before each exam. The exams are easy and the daily quizes are usually answered by her before you turn them in. She is funny & loves her job. Not a hard class. Try taking her class with some friends because you will do alot of group work.
This was my first online class. Mrs. Sims was very organized and gave us a clear syllabus. One paper, 5 units, and she gave out extra credit. Each unit had a test, two quizzes, and a webography. If you stay on top of it, the class is super easy. I would recommend :)
Her class is never boring. Ms. Sims is an excellent teacher. I had her for Sociology and she teaches the class in a way that it makes it easy to understand the material. She explains and gives real life examples. The tests are easy.I would definitely recommend Ms. Sims in any class she teaches.
Mrs.Sims is an amazing professor! I would take her again if I could.
The sweetest lady you could hope for. She tells you everything you need to know for the tests, offers plenty of extra credit and grades easy on the little written assignments. The book is helpful but definitely not necessary. Very informative, if you don't get an A you didn't try at all.
Great teacher! She had everything structured very well. The Final Exam came straight from the 10 question quizzes after each chapter. Lots of extra credit. You do have to read the chapters but overall easy.
I love Mrs. Sims! She's funny and upbeat. She's very uplifting! Her teaching styles are very clear and helpful. She involves the class in each discussion, rather than just lecturing the entire class. She's a great woman who loves to help people. Success in her course will require some studying, but her exams are simple enough. Highly recommended!
THE BEST TEACHER I HAVE EVER HAD!!!! So much fun and you learn a lot. Her tests are easy if you study and she is so helpful. I would recommend her class to anyone. She is the nicest person and she is so upbeat. Loved her!!!
Easy Class. Requires a little bit of writing but it is graded very leniently. Had to read the textbook to do well on the tests.
She provides you with class notes that are amazingly helpful for tests. As long as you pay attention during her lecture, plug everything in where it needs to go, and then study that for the test you will do fine. Homework assignments are very easy to handle. She makes the class enjoyable and talks about her own life as it relates to the lecture!
Tests were sometimes tough. The questions can range from basic definitions to long scenarios related to the concepts in the book. You have to read the chapters to do well and questions can come from the smallest details in the chapters. No research papers just weekly web articles you find on the topic for discussions and then respond to classmates.
Mrs. Sims is a great teacher. She is more than fair and gives great feedback on assignments. Show up to class and care a little bit and you will do great.
A professor that is genuine, open-minded, caring and very transparent. Hope that's specific enough? :)
Her class is easy except for her test. You have to read and study the vocab and even then her test are hard. Her other homework is easy and is an easy grader on it. Just be sure to do good on her test and you will easily past. She gives me feedback on almost all my discussions. I enjoy her as my teacher.
Great teacher! Her positivity radiates, even in the online class. She is so helpful and she makes sure you know she is there to help! I would gladly take any of her classes again! You definitely need the book to pass, and read, read, read!
Mrs. Sims is one of the most down to earth teachers at PSC. She relates everything to real life situations and is such a joy to have as a teacher! This class was beyond easy and as long as you fill in the note packet she gives you, it's a guaranteed A. She is such a lovely person and I would take her again in a heartbeat!
AMAZING teacher. i still keep in touch with her because she is so helpful. loved the class. if the class gets on her good side and jokes around with her the class will be a breeze. we had a couple parties including a pizza party!
Took online. Multi-choice tests and weekly discussion posts using a web source (find an article about the week's topic and write about it). Super easy, pretty interesting, very nice lady.
She is one of the best teachers Iv ever had. Especially being an online teacher she is awesome! She really encourages you and gives great feedback! She also when you turn something in she typically responds with comments and a grade withing 3 days! She is wonderful at returning email, even on weekends! You can tell she really cares!
LOVED Ms. Sims! She is a real caring lady!! I took her during a hard part of the year for me and she gave me support through it. I had her online, but she really cared for us.
Took online so I can't really grade her as an instructor too much. She did grade fairly quickly though. The class was pretty boring, weekly posts, the usual.
Mrs. Sims is the best teacher I have ever had. She is super funny and really cares about how you do in her class. Tests are easy and you can use a cheat sheet! The material she teaches is also actually interesting. Her class was by far my favorite.
This class was so fun. Her lectures are adorable with her little dog! Pretty easy A. Just do your test and assignments and you are golden.
Highly recommend that you take any course that has professor Sims she is wonderful.
Real easy teacher, the class is definitely nothing to get a headache over.
Love Mrs. Sims! She's one of my favorite teachers that I've ever had. I'm signing up for her Cultural Anthropology course!
I loved her online intro sociology class! She is an amazing professor and I wish I could have taken her class in person. Super easy A if you do the homework. Would take her again!! She made me love sociology and made an online class interesting instead of a bore for once. Take her!!!!!!!
Mrs. Sims is a great professor. She makes it very hard to NOT do well. At first this class will feel like you are a freshman in high school. ENJOY IT. It is very structured and she hols your hand through the whole course. She allows you to use a notecard on every test. Take advantage of this. Very sweet woman, scatterbrained, kind of motherly.
Mrs. Sims is my absolute favorite professor I have ever had. She makes the class fun and simple. She is very interactive with students and gives hints about test material. You can tell she really loves the subjects, and she is very very funny. I highly recommend taking her classes if you want an easy A while learning very interesting stuff.
Mrs. Sims is a great professor, so happy I took her Intro Sociology class! Mrs. Sims is always willing to give feedback and makes her tests and essays easy to understand. If you have to take any sociology or anthropology classes I highly recommend taking them with her.
She is very responsive and caring. Gives easy assignments, usually one writing, one discussion, and 1 or 2 quizzes per week. Applies the material to real life topics in all discussions. Made an online class feel very personable. Highly reccomend
Shes been one of my favorite professors. I took her class online but she made me feel like she knew me. She provides amazing feedback and responds to emails quickly. I wish I could take her for everything . Easy A if you do the work . Its not hard and if youre confused email her and shell provide some feed back . TAKE HER !
So caring, gives great feedback and is invested in helping her students succeed but expects you to participate and put in the effort.
She's a good teacher to take if you want a class that is easy to make a good grade in. If you want to actually learn about the topic, take someone else. Teaches like it's high school at best.
Mrs. Sims has a great way of relating the class to the real world. Lectures are fun, not boring at all. She teaches in a way to really help students know the content. She intertacts with the class and has a great personality/sense of humor to keep everyone intrigued all the time. Records lectures. Best instructor I've had by far. Easy A and fun.

I took her online Sociology class and got an A+. This was probably my easiest online class I ever taken. I originally signed up for this class on campus with a different instructor but I'm so glad I switched to online with her! You will write a few short essays but they were easy and I got full credit on all of them. Take her online class! Easy A
She was just wonderful!
She was fine, I had a hard time contacting her once. But overall a good teacher.
Tests were tough but she gives u a notecard to make a little cheatsheet so it works out. Attendance matters so do not miss class !Very nice lady. Soft spoken. Loved her.
I had to drop her class the first time around in the first week due to medical issues, came back the next semester and she remembered me! She is really one of the kindest, sweetest professors I've had at PSC, she made the class really fun and easy to understand, she really aims to keep your attention, and I love that she allows for class input!
Ms. Sims has such a wonderful, engaging, and inclusive personality. I took her Intro to Sociology course in spring of 2020 and would happily take her for any class. She brings the whole class into the subject and gets us thinking and talking critically. Team Sims: better together!
Even online, (non-synchronous) Sims is excellent at teaching and being receptive. She is actually interested in your life, and shows it. Instead of bashing due dates on you, she encourages gaining insight from the assignments. It isn't about the work, more so about what you learn, which is how it should be. Love her! Def taking another class!
Mrs. Sims is the sweetest lady ever! She tells you straight up you don't need the text book. The homework is super easy there are only 3 home work assignments and 3 papers. The papers are 500 words and the homework is 250. Her lectures are super interesting and she tells super interesting stories. If you pay attention tests are easy as well.
Prof. Sims is a great teacher. Be prepared to write. Doesn't use the book, uses PowerPoints instead. Applies lessons to life. She wants the best for all of her students.
Shes wonderful. Extremely compassionate about what she teaches. She cares about each of her students, and loves discussion within the classroom, which is easy because she teaches interesting material. Can sometimes get off track, but its one of the things that makes her an amazing professor and easy to engage with. 11/10!
I absolutely loved Mrs. Sims I even took her again for Anthropology
I absolutely loved Mrs. Sims I specifically took this class because she taught it.
Sad to see her retiring but one of the best professors I've had since I started college a few years back.
Mrs. Sims is an absolute gem. She's one of the sweetest people I've ever met and that reflects so much in her class. She's very engaging, so her classes are never dull. Her class is also super easy. Tests are open notes and writing assignments are very short. Unfortunately, she is retiring this semester :( It was great having her, I love her.
