She is a nice person, but she expects you to teach the class. She asks way too many questions and wastes a lot of class time. Also, she looks at you like you are retarded if you answer a question incorrectly and it makes you feel dumb. If you do not like to participate in class she is definitely not someone to take.

Had her for death and dying- she seemed "put off" by the subject and conveyed it to her students. Taught the book, not the subject, apparently unable to draw from outside knowledge. Gave students "funny looks" if they said something she disagreed with or felt was incorrect. Very young- perhaps she will come into her own eventually.

She's a nice teacher. Alot of work, but it is broken down through out the semster. She tries to give extra credit towards the end and uses group work for the quiet ppl in the class for class participation. Recommend her highly if you want to know and understand what Sociology is.

Helpful to an extent. If you take this class online, be prepared to do lots of work and lots of reading that is time consuming to prepare you for her tests. Be sure work is literally perfect, if not good luck in succeeding. If you work hard and turn things in on time and do them to the best of your ability, it still may not be good enough for her.

Professor Seenath is an amazing professor. It was an actual class and not an online one so there may be some differences as online classes are usually much more work oriented. You've got to read the material or shocker you won't pass. Gives review materials and even goes over on test day. No reason you shouldn't pass unless you're lazy.
