Best teacher for sociolgy. Works wit students to make sure they undrstand.
Easy Sociology Prof.
GREAT teacher, loved her, was sad when I had to move away and could not take anymore of her classes. She is by far my favorite teacher.
Bessy is the coolest! I'd recommend her for any soc class.
Super-nice person and a good professor.
The best professor I have had here. Makes sociology so much easier. Easy exams. If you take the class for any other reason that to learn about sociology, take it to learn about very helpful note taking strategies.
If you're going to have to take her class, make sure to do it as a freshman, as it will seem very redundant later on. Personal stories litter the course, and most of the material seems dumbed down. Barely got through a third of the book in my class.
One of the best professors I have ever had. Makes the course interesting and easy to be related to, one of the things most college professor/teachers lack nowadays.
VERY easy GPA raiser; however, prepare for personal stores that run the gamut of topics. Tends to get off-topic and covers chapters slowly but this is negated by the easy tests. Allows students to pretty much run the show, can turn into a zoo quickly. Sometimes misspells words, other grammar errors.
Very smart woman! She knows how to teach!! Easy if you do all that's asked of you, difficult if you don't listen and aren't in class. She tells you what's on the test exactly! Hope to get another course with her.
Betsie Cole is the reason for me changing my major to Soc. She's an amazing teacher. Personal stories make her seem real; she loves to hear how you're doing, as well. Very easy to contact and is a very understanding human being-something you don't always find in college! Enroll in her classes!
I love her!!! Best professor ever. If you get the chance, take her class.
Very easy class. Just get the study guide and don't make her mad. Then you should get the grade you want.
Good instructor, gave study guides to every test. She is very helpful and gives lots of extra credit. Tends to tell a lot of stories, which can be boring.
She is awesome!! It is a very easy class but i still felt like i learned something at the same time. Even though it was a large class she sees me in the hallway and talks to me. She really cares and seriously rocks my socks
Not a particularly hard class but oh my gosh! I got so sick of hearing about how terrible her life is and how she never has any money because of teacher's low salaries.Her stories are sooo boring and she complains all the time and tells the same stories over and over
Great Professor. She wants to help all of her students succeed. I would reccommend her, but she does tend to ramble on and on about how poor she is and how difficult her life is all the time.
Mrs. Cole is an awesome instructor. She helped us explore multiple aspects of marriage and family.
definate "major" changer. once angered by one student, will take it out on rest of class to the point of retroactively pulling extra credit previously given
I have taken Mrs. Cole twice and absolutely love her. She is so sweet and nice. She is also very knowledgeable about Sociology, she is the reason that I chose to do a sociology minor. I love her!!!
Great prof!
I LOVE BETSIE COLE..... one of my all time favorite teachers.... does not tolerate laziness or excuses, but is very openminded, hippie if you will.... lots of extra credit, fairly easy tests and very helpful study guides
Boring as hell
AWESOME Teacher! Take her the best of all sociology teachers. You will get an A b/cuz before the test day she gives you EVERYTHING that will be on the test. She is very interseting to listen to and keeps your attention! Excellent teacher!
She is a feminist and not very helpful. She thinks she is funny and shes not at all. If you hate men please, by all means take this class.
Tells you EXACTLY what's on the test.. fairly interesting.. I would take her again.
i love betsie cole! she is a wonderful teacher, she gives out study guides that tell you absolutly everything on her tests/quizzes. she does tend to ramble about random things that have happened to her, but it is always interesting. she is willing to help any student who asks. would take one of her classes again in a heartbeat.
She is understanding and fare, only if you are with her too. She makes class fun and interesting.
Very good teacher. Highly recommend for Intro to sociology.
if you need this class and want to make an Athis is the teacher to take. she tells you exactly what is going to be on the tests. my lowest test grade is 105. very little studying involved just took the guidelines she give on review day.
Ms.Cole is a great teacher!She is very fair & tells you everything that will be on the test beforehand.She is funny,rambles off topic somewhat but always keeps you laughing & interested.Easy A...if you need sociology, def. take her!
I love her to death!! She is so nice and helpful. She gives a review the day before the test and only the stuff that she goes over will be on the test. Gives extra credit too. Definately take Mrs. Cole if you have the opportunity. AWESOME TEACHER!!
Easy class. Be ready to discuss sexual slang and listen to others talk about their love-lives. Have an open mind. Wether you like the class or not, you will learn something.
great teacher
Really sweet lady. She makes her classes interesting. Very open-minded. Would deffinitely recommend her!!
Awesome teacher, and her tests are exactly how she says they will be.
Dang! This woman is hott Hott HOTT!!! Too bad she knows next to nothing about economics, historical events, and current politics...the three things on which she proceeds to ignorantly rant about. Sometimes I feel myself becoming dumber as a result =( Yippee this shall be my only Killer Cole class
Great teacher... open to your opinions and welcomes class discussion. Nice, helpful, gives extra credit and doesn't have a strict attendance policy! Highly reccomended!
Great teacher.. always a fun class. Gives lots of extra credit possibilities and reviews before each test. If you go to class and listen you are gaurantedd an A. Highly recommend this teacher!!!
She is the best teacher I have had so far!!She is very easy and offers extra credit and has good class discussions!Her test are easy as long as you take the notes and make your study guide...then study it!! I highly recommend her!!
One student wrote a cuss word after another student's name on the roll. Ms. Cole took back all of the extra credit work previously earned in class, and refused any access to extra credit until the quilty party came forward. Any instructor that chooses to spend so much time on the negative shouldn't be allowed to teach.
No Comments
She is very helpful and wants everyone to pass. Deffinately take her if you are willing to listen to her strong-willed opinions on our country and society. She is somewhat contradicting in her claim to Christianity and the things she believes concerning Sociological theories, but she is a very nice lady. Somewhat feminist.
She's VERY feminist... she is very opinionated on our country and how it's run. Well, she's just very opinionated, period. But she's one of the best teachers I've ever had. I highly recommend.
Definitly take her class. never had a test in class, all take home. very interesting teacher. she cares for each and every student. is very opinionated and loves her dog.
Waste of time. Her class is all about herself- and NEWSFLASH no one cares. Furthermore, she spouts off about subjects that she has little or no knowledge about. Avoid
gives a study guide each test, sometimes typed out for you. takes attendance everyday, but not That strict with it. this class was really worth it, and it always kept my attention because i could always understand what was going on.
great teacher...all you have to do is study for the tests and you will make an A.
Great Instructor
Mostly stuff I learned in high school with a feminist feel.
Ms. Cole is truly a wonderful lady and everyone who has the opportunity to take one of her classes should do so! Tests were all take-home, although attendance is mandatory. Basically, come to class, listen to her interesting lectures, be open minded and you'll do wonderfully! Fabulous lady!
I have to say that she is a wonderful teacher. She will tell you everything you need to know for every test and final. She knows her stuff and is very easy. Gives exact answers to what will be on her tests. Also gives tons of extra credit.
Mrs.Cole is by far one of the best instructors you could ever have the pleasure of knowing.She is very knowledgable and makes Sociology interesting.She is one of the few teachers left who still really give a damn about whether or not the students actually understand the material.Study hard for the tests and take good notes and you will be fine!
GREAT! GREAT!! GREAT!!! LOT OF FUN! DO NOT NEED BOOK! JUST TAKE NOTES IN CLASS!
GREAT! I learned so much. She gives great notes and tells exactly what is on exam. I only used my book to expand on what she said in class. Very caring and truely wants her students to learn. Highly recomendable. I am taking another one of her classes!
She should be fired she does nothing but lower the bar for dumb people to grad.
She is a wonderful teacher. I enjoyed going to her class. Her tests went right along with what she taught and she was always up for suggestions on how to help us out. She also gives extra credit.
She is challenging, but not too hard. I've studied and I made A's and A+'s on every test.
As a teacher Mrs. Cole isn't too bad. She is willing to help all of her students and wants to see them all succeed. The class, however, was very dull. She tells stories that she has no clue about. She also hates men. But a pretty easy class all in all.
Easy class if you don't lay out everyday. She's pretty big on attendance. She gives amazing bonus days when attendance is low.
shes wonderful, interesersting and i learned alot
hates men. class is boring, pointless men hating stories. take this class if you don't like men.
Easy A
Ms. Cole is a great teacher. she can be **** but if you can handle it shes fine. if you study your defs. from the text, unless she says to use lecture notes, you will do fine on tests. her test questions could be tricky, just read the whole question and ALL the answers! i love her as a teacher. she has gone out of her way to help all her students
she tends to rag on about how men are bad...i think the comment below probably is suposed to refer to her ragging on men...but shes a good teacher. i liked her a lot. just don't make her mad.
I disagree about her hating men. She is a very simple lady and love to hear about her stories. Her husband is really sick and u can tell she was stressed about that. Very easy tests b/c of her study guides, will give easy extra credit. Take her! she is very easy!! Just attend her classes. I promise...very easy!!!
Mrs. Cole ROCKS!! I love her! She can be strict at times but it's only because she wants her class to learn and pass! Some of the stories she tells about her life will crack you up! Deff. take her if you can!!
Mrs. Cole is a amazing teacher and well spoken. Her stories always keep you interested. the class is fun and interesting but you still got to study for her tests. Take Mrs. Cole!
Ms.Cole is an amazing teacher! Her stories will keep you entertained and will make you want to come to class! Very friendly and helpful with students. Take her even if it means changing your schedule.
Mrs. Cole is the best teacher in the world. She tells the best stories that make you want to come to class. Everyday in Mrs. Cole's class is interesting. You really should take this class.
excellent
she is a fine teacher, she doesn't read straight from the book, and she seems to know what she is speaking about, makes really good points about life. Her tests are fairly easy if you get the study guide and actually study it. take her, you learn a lot and you will pass if you actually come.
This class was very easy. Mrs. Cole is an extremely nice person and very easy to talk to. I recommend everyone to take one of her classes.
Ms. Cole is AWESOME! She is hilarious and tells some wonderful stories that pertain to the class material. She will go out of her way to help you so it's your responsibility to go to class and take notes. Tests are easy and cover only material that has been gone over in class. Take Ms. Cole!
Mrs. Cole is the best teacher at ETSU! She is very helpful and really funny! Take notes and you will pass with flying colors! Def. Recommend!
Ms. Cole is WONDERFUL!!! She is so helpful, sweet and funny. She makes sociology very interesting. TAKE MS. COLE!!!
Very easy class, if you go to class and pay attention. She gives reviews the class before the that that covers EXACTLY what is going to be on the test. Very easy to understand and tells personal stories to help understand the concept. Would recommend this teacher, she was very good and helpful.
very very very easy. just go to class and get the few notes she gives. she has a review of everything on the test the class before. she likes to get on the "soapbox" quite a bit but its cool i guess because she's so easy and offers lots and lots of extra credit
She always gives a study guide for the tests
She was a VERY good teacher!! If you come to class and take notes, and study the study guide that she gives, which she tells you EVERYTHING that's going to be on the test including bonus questions. Easy tests, True/False kind of tricky, but not if you study. Very EASY class, great teacher, really like the way she teaches, she is a GREAT teacher!
I liked her class. Sometimes she goes on rants about totally unrelated things, like the dangers of Nalgene bottles, but she's really nice and will do anything to help you. She also gives study guides. I would recommend her.
Loves teaching. It's her priority & you can tell. Uses personal stories, examples, and wit to help you understand the material. Captivates your attention. Only college class that Ive ever looked forward to! Tests are kinda hard, but your grades go up after you take the 1st one. Final is easy. Cant miss more than 5 days though, which killed me
Super easy! I made an A and i went into that class not interested in sociology at all... really cool teacher! i would def. recommend her
She is a good teacher and will work with you. She understand problems happen. I would recommend her to anybody. I didnt really study long for her class or really use the book. After the first test she gives you a list of what you got to study for. Beware most of her questions are T/F and she changes only one word. She offers plenty of extra credit
this professor is caring and loving! she cares about her students! I love this lady and u when u get to know her u will too!!!!
I love this lady so much! she is amazing! she is loving and so caring. she is extremely helpful. this is an awesome woman and anyone who has the chance to meet her will be blessed!!!
I LOVE this class its amazing and you really learn alot.
The class I took with her was Marriage and Family. We used the book Marriages and Families (6th edition). This class was for learning about gender, marriage in other cultures, families in other cultures and their dysfunctions. I thoroughly enjoyed this class. Betsy is wonderful and open-minded! She's pretty funny too. I recommend the class and her.
Absolutely the best professor that you will ever have. She is funny, intelligent, caring and she makes the class very enjoyable. I am going to take Marriage & Family next semester just so I can get her for a teacher again. If you get the chance, take HER classes.
She's a great teacher. You do need to take notes and pay attention but she makes it very clear what you will need to know for the tests and even offers extra credit.
Wonderful teacher!
i love ms. cole! this class is one of my favorites...she lectures without really lecturing. it's like she's talking to you one on one. as long as you take halfway decent notes and pay attention, you'll sail through into to soci.
Excellent Teacher. She comes across hard but once you get into it she is great. Very helpful and wants to help you. Highly recommended !!!
you sud take her.. she give easy test, her notes r easy to take, more over her she is very helpful and very clear .. the BEST class of my semester.. :D
She is an amazing woman and is always there to help. Her lectures are really interesting and she always finds a way to relate it to everyday life. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS PROFESSOR!!!!!
Great teacher, would recommend to anyone. She is a hardcore feminist though, that won't take long to figure out. :P
ms. cole is amazing! she is one of the best teachers ive ever had. i loved going to her class, and she is one of the main reasons i chose to major in sociology. her lectures are great, and she keeps your interest. she gives VERY clear study guides, and the tests do follow them. if you try, you'll make an A no problem! Definitely reccomend her!
One of the best, fairest, and most helpful, caring teachers I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I feel like I made a friend for life and look forward to taking her classes in the future, whether I need the actual class to graduate or not. A definite grade A+ teacher, one of a kind!
Great teacher.
Wonderful teacher, I really enjoyed this class. She is really funny and very friendly. I loved her would recommend her to anyone no matter what your major is
I absolutely love this professor! She is such an amazing woman who will help anyone in need, she loves her job and her students. If anyone doesnt like her, its because they didnt get to know her....She will go out of her way to make sure you succeed! TAKE HER you will gain an A and a great friend!
she tends to tell random stories every now and then,but overall she is a pretty good teacher.
She's a 9 out of 10. Very good teacher. She throws in movies and group discussions to break the monotony of lectures. I thought her assignment descriptions on D2L were kind of confusing. However, she's still an easy A.
He is a wonderful person and tells stories to help express the topics of the course. She is a must take!
If you go to class and do her study guides before test theres no excuse to do bad. Her tests are tricky though but not because they are unfair, because you actually have to read each question carefully. Very good teacher though. Wish I could take her for every class
Betsie Cole is so far the best professor I've ever had in my college experience. She's fun, easy and willing to help anyone! Be sure to take her. You won't regret it.
Ok teacher not very clear on tests.
I LOVED betsie! Her lectures are very interesting and I learned alot in her class. Attendance is pretty mandatory. She basically gives you the whole test in a study guide. As long as you study, you'll be fine. Offers quite a bit of extra credit as well. I VERY highly recommend her over any other sociology professor!!!
Oh, Mrs. Betsie Cole. She is funny, nice, and super easy. The only thing needed for this class is attendance, good note taking, and studying EXACTLY what is on her study guides. She teaches with a very traditional style. I recommend taking her. I highly enjoyed her class and would be super excited to take her again!!!
She is a very stubborn and nit-picky person. She thinks she is a handwriting expert, so if you have messy writing I wouldn't recommend taking her.
I like Betsie a lot as both a teacher & a person. If you go into her class and be a serious student, you will learn a lot. Studying for her tests is a must, but hey, college is like a job; so work for your grades! She is one of my fav teachers on campus, but she is serious about you acting like an adult, which college students should anyway!
This class was online. She always gave extra points on every assignment, so it's really easy to get an A, but her instructions for the papers we had to write were foggy at best. She counted off for things she never specified needed to be done. All in all, the class was easy but boring and I did not learn anything at all.
Great teacher, engaged in class discussion frequently.
Absolutely a wonderful lecturer. She makes learning the material so interesting, and adds her own real life stories. If you have the opportunity to have her as a teacher, do it! You will not regret it for a second. She is the greatest. So helpful and nice too and she really cares for her students. This was my favorite class to attend.
I loved this class. she is super sweet and interacts well with the class as a whole.
Best teacher I have had so far. She goes over EXACTLY what will be on the tests and posts and word-for-word review before the test. I highly recommend taking from her. SHe is very witty and keeps your attention without any problems. She knows what she is talking about and overs numerous ways to earn extra credit. TAKE FROM HER!
Take from old Betsie Cole. You won't regret it. She's extremely helpful and really cares about the students and their understanding of the material. Don't be intimidated by her personality. She's a sweetheart.
Ms. Cole is an awesome teacher! She is extremely helpful and makes a very boring subject interesting. 2 thumbs up for taking her!
She is a very direct person. Intimidating to say in the least. I learned the most in this class. It is a lecture class and you only have two grades but they were easy quizes and she tells you EXACTLY what is going to be on the test. In the same order as she gives you on the study guide too!!!
tough to handle all info, but tests are straight forward if you can use memorization techniques.
She is an amazing teacher! I absolutely loved her!Her class was very easy. She taught you the material and made sure to give helpful examples so you understood. She gives study guides that are basically her tests. Do the study guide and you're fine. She also goes over the test the next day. She's amazing I recommend you take her for sure.
Easiest class I have taken so far in college. She gives 4 tests with each consisting of about 60-80 questions. These are your entire grade and personally, I never made below a 100 on any of them. The study guide IS the test. And it is almost entirely definitions directly from the book.
Super easy. The grade is all tests. Test = EASY. Just do the study guide and you'll make an A on every test. She says there is homework but we never had any. You can get extra credit too.
Ms. cole was one of my favorite professors at ETSU! she is very helpful. all you have to do is go to class and take the notes she gives and you will be fine! she makes her classes fun to come to!
She's a stickler for attendance. It's mandatory. But it's not a bad class. Read or at least review before each class. It helps understand exactly what she's saying.She's helpful and you can email her at any time. I enjoyed her class. She does try to trick you on the tests so make sure to study.
She is a very sweet person. I love her class she is very helpful and kind. Her test are easy just have to study. You must show up for class or you will fail. She gives you a study guide of what we will be on the test. Very Easy if you fail her class you are just lazy.
Great teacher, easy tests DEFINITELY RECOMMEND
wonderful professor!! she is more than willing to help students out if they are helping themselves! Easy class if you go to class regularly! 4 test grades, 3 extra points are available to your final grade (5 points of extra credit equals 1 point to final grade) do not pass up!!!!
wonderful lady, easy class! is more than willing to help anyone out! her stories can be a little over the top at times but her class is super laid back and she gives extra credit/study guides for every test that are in the exact order of the test! do NOT pass up! she is super nice to you if you make an appointment with her too! hint hint ;)
She is one of the sweetest professors I have ever had. Her tests are super easy and she gives you a study guide of exactly what will be on the test. She makes her class fun to attend and she truly cares about her students. The only way you won't make an A in her class is if you are lazy! She is a WONDERFUL Lady!!! I highly recommend her!
Ms.Cole is a great teacher. She is really great at using examples to explain. Her exams are challenging but passing is an automatic if you study.
She is a really good teacher and pretty nice unless you have your cell phone out in class. The test are tricky and some what hard but if you study really well for them its an easy A
Professor Cole is outstanding! She is willing to help you in any way that she can and do anything that she can to help you pass. I would recommend her to anyone!
Ms Cole is a great professor. She cares about her studets and wants them to do well. She gives a study guide that every question comes out of. If you fill out and study the study guide, passing the class is automatic. TAKE HER IF POSSIBLE!
Ms. Cole takes attendance & you must post your absences, so be prepared to go to class. The book isn’t really necessary as long as you take good notes. She posts a study guide for each test, & she really sticks exactly to it. If you fill it out & read over it a few times you should do well. Plus, she gives many chances for extra credit. Easy class!
I loved this class. She is very interested in making sure you do well. Every test question comes straight from her study guide and if you take notes the book is not really needed. I would definitely suggest taking this class!
Ms. Cole is one of my favorite profs. No need to read the material, but have the book for some notes. Ask questions, participate, and don't be afraid to ask for help. Attendance is required, though it's not annoying. Just a little boring some days.
Ms. Cole was an excellent teacher!! She is by far one of my favorites. She makes all of her lectures very easy to understand and interesting. She tells a lot of stories that makes the time past quickly. GO TO CLASS!!! She seems terrible the first day but it's just to scare you. Take her she is interesting, and she will teach you how to study!!
Great professor and a very sweet woman. Her tests are relatively easy. Good online class to take if you have a busy schedule.
Ms. Cole makes her class interesting by telling you stories to make the topics relatable. Her tests are exactly like the study guide but is very detail orientated. Pay close attention. I would definitely recommend taking her. She will scare you the first week, but its just to make her students pay attention.
I loved Ms. Cole! Her class was really interesting and she was hilarious. Attendance is mandatory, but you can miss 3 classes. There are about 4 tests, and, if you study for them, you'll do well. Some people didn't study and complained, but she always gave us a study guide, so if you study it you'll be fine. The book is also a must have!
Ms. Cole is great! Her study guides are really helpful. I would totally take her again.
Took online, fairly easy A. Chapter discussions, 5 online tests. Biggest frustration was an obvious liberal slant. Textbook written by hardcore feminists. Book takes every big issue-gun control, spanking, marriage-& slants it left. Book jabs Christianity often, which was obnoxious & factually wrong. ETSU social sciencesdemocratic training camp.
the sweetest lady ever. she will scare you the first class but she is really sweet. gives great study guides. if you do the study guides you will pass the tests. she also keeps lecture interesting by telling personal stories that have to do with what were learning. i loved her and would take her again in a heart beat.
Ms. Cole is amazing. Her class is incredibly interesting and interactive. She has you do discussion board posts and comment back and forth with other students. The tests are easy (online and you can use your book). This is definitely one of my favorite classes I've taken at ETSU.
At first I found the lectures to be long and boring (don't get me wrong some of them still are) but for the most part she is very interesting. The stories she tells are funny and help you remember the material. She gives a study guide that is everything you need to know on the test. Show up and take notes.
This class is super easy. If you show up and do the study guide before each test you will make an A. Her lectures are interesting and she always has funny stories that go along with the material. Just show up and take notes and study a little, you'll make an A.
Good teacher. Very nice also. I love her.
I had her for intro to Sociology. At the time, I had a lot of family problems which caused me to miss class alot. I went to talk to her after class one day, intending to drop the class. She allowed me to come to a later class, and guided me to do projects that took my grade from a D to a high B. She really will do everything she can to help you.
Loved, loved, loved this professor. I took all of her classes. She's funny, interesting, and has a ton of real life stories and experiences that help explain the concepts. Take her if you can!
You can tell she loves her job. Is always willing to help. Notes are set up really well and easy to follow. She's an absolute sweet heart and an inspiration.
I REALLY enjoyed this class. Ms. Cole's lectures are very interesting and make going to class enjoyable. She is very funny and uses real life stories to use as examples in her lectures. If you go to class and take good notes and read some then you will be fine in this class. I would recommend taking this class, you will receive a lot of great info.
Ms. Cole is a great teacher and I would love to take her again. She has a few tests that are a breeze if you keep up with the reading!
Just do all the assignments and read the material. Super easy.
I LOVED this class. It was Intro to Sociology and Dr. Cole taught it so well. She would teach the basics of the information from the book and also include her own personal stories and examples that made it so much more entertaining and easy to learn. I suggested this class to all of my friends and I will be taking her classes again in the future.
One of the best teachers i've had at ETSU. She tells personal stories to help students better understand the curriculum. 100% would recommend her for sociology
Ms. Cole is an amazing teacher!! I had her for sociology and she made the subject so easy to understand. She is very willing to help you and wants the best for her students. Her tests go by her study guide, but if you don't attend class you cannot fill out the study guide. Just pay attention and TAKE NOTES. She's great!
Mrs. Cole is a good teacher. She is very precise on what she wants and her study guides are WORD for WORD the tests you'll take. She rarely gives homework, when she does it's super easy. She's very connected to her classes and emails you back quickly. The only thing I think could be improved his her attendance policy.
Ms. Cole is an excellent teacher! She really tries to make the lectures enjoyable and also gives study guides for every test. As long as you go to class and take notes you'll do fine. She also gives multiple chances for extra credit, including on every test!
Ms. Cole is pretty laid back professor but she is very specific in how she wants things done in her class. She does take points off your final grade if you have missed so many days. Tests are fairly simple if you pay attention and use her study guides. Doesn't like the use of ANY technology in her class. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
Her tests were exactly like her study guides, but to fill out the study guides, you had to take good notes. She did not use PowerPoints at all, and she is very strict about not having cell phones. She taught the material very well, and there was not much homework. Go to class and take notes, and you will do great.
Professor Cole gives you all the tools to succeed. She is freakishly obsessed with her students reading, but it is all just some odd sham. You don't need the book. As long as you take notes, and spend the time to make a study guide with the review she gives you, you will do great. Test are ALL multiple choice, and go in order of study guide!
Ms. Cole is amazing! She really cares about how everyone does in her class. She includes personal stories in her lectures to make the material more interesting. Gives tons of extra credit opportunities! Would definitely recommend.
Her class is great for anyone looking into the study of sociology. Her tests are simple and she gives thorough study guide material. She will tell you literally word for word what is on the test and you are allowed to critique the tests afterward. She is somewhat heavy with note-taking, but it helps for her tests. Great class and great instructor.
She really tells you what she expects you to learn. If you do what she tells you and actually do the study guide it is an easy A.
Ms. Cole can come off really rude, but she is actually a great teacher. Really clear on what she expects from her students and VERY clear what she will test you on.
Come to class everyday and write down the definitions of everything on the board and also what she tells you to. You will need those definitions to fill out study guide. Study guides for exam are everything you need to know. Complete the study guides and memorize it and you will do well. No need for book.
Betsie is one of the best professors I have had. She takes the time to go over class material. The only thing Is she does not allow electronics in class: you have to handwrite everything. She does give you time to write down everything, though. There is plenty of extra credit and she will help you any way she can. I highly recommend taking her!
One of the best. She wasn't too harsh and her lectures are very interesting. She's a very caring and funny woman. She doesn't like phones in her class, if she catches you using your phone she will call you out and tell you to put it up.
Ms. Cole is a decent professor. Her teaching ethics arent the best. You literally come to class & take notes & listen to her pointless stories. She tells you to read the chapters but you just go over them in class. I got the book but only use it for the study guides because we dont need it any other time. Be ready to take a lot of notes!
If you pay attention and TAKE NOTES!!!!! she gives study guides but they are fill in the blank and come straight from your notes!! but the study guide is in order word for word on the test. overall a very easy class especially because i struggle with paying attention. she is an awesome professor though, definitely would take again.
This class is an easy A if you go to class and take notes (she tells you what to write down). She gives a test review before each test that is basically the test. You also get opportunities for extra credit!
her study guides are the test. never any surprises on the test she goes over the study guide and any questions you have the day before the test. she is great.
She's very organized which makes her lectures very easy to follow. If you do miss class you will miss a lot since half the test are her personal definitions.
Ms. Cole is amazing!!! She is so funny and her class is a breeze. She gives you all the notes and her tests are straight from the notes. She also gives you a lot of extra credit opportunities. Her lectures can get boring but overall she is hilarious and a good teacher.
Ms. Cole is very straight forward which makes the class so much easier. She pretty much goes by the book and gives very clear and organized notes. She actually writes the guided notes on the board and address each topic thru lecture as well as the details you need to know. Tests are straight from the notes and she gives a study guide:) shes good
Ms. Cole is a fantastic teacher that tries her hardest to get her students an A. She basically hands you the notes by writing them on the board, and then makes the test study guides directly from lecture notes. I PROMISE YOU if you show up and take notes you will make an A. Very little homework and its EXTREMELY easy. I did not get the book.
This class was the least of my worries this semester. As long as you halfway take notes, do the study guides, and look over them before the test youll pass.
Professor Cole is an amazing professor. She gives study guides for every test and the test is straight from the study guide. She also provides rubrics for all homework assignments so you know exactly what she expects. Would definitely recommend to anyone!!
Ms Cole is great. She's funny, sweet, and very well qualified. Show up, take notes, and you'll be fine. It is all whiteboard lecture so if you miss, make sure you have a buddy to get notes from.
Ms. Cole is one of the best profs Ive ever had. She is hilarious, relates her lecture to personal experiences, and makes tests and homeworks really easy for you. The study guides are the tests word from word and in the same order. She does all whiteboard notes, so show up to class as much as you can. I highly recommend her for SOCI1010.
Ms. Cole is a wonderful teacher who really wants you to learn. While the material is hard, she gives study guides beforehand and offers a day where she answers any questions one might have, so if you do all of that, you will pass.
This class is super easy. She is a slow grader but she gives good feedback. She is super detail oriented. Her tests are long but not hard and open notes. She also gives extra credit at the end of the semester.
This was an asynchronous online class. Assignments have a detailed and clear rubric. There was a chapter reading, 2 assignments and a test each chapter. As long as you did the work and read it was an easy A. She is understanding if there is an emergency and will let you turn in something late (a valid excuse). Extra credit at the end. Loved her!
This was a great class, follow the syllabus and follow instructions. Test were all multiple choice and super easy. I would recommend this prof.
Ms. Cole truly cares about her students. She gives very clear and detailed grading criteria, so make sure you follow her directions exactly. This class is easy! You can use the textbook on every test
Very easy online course. Professor Cole isn't a harsh grader and all exam questions are straight from the textbook. Discussion board posts are due every week from material in the online textbook.There's only 2 papers due throughout the semester and they are just reviews of the text. Definitely recommend as an easy online elective!
This class was very enjoyable and interesting. Mrs. Coke is very understanding when it comes to late work and offers several extra credit opportunities. There is a clear grading criteria provided at the beginning of the semester. Mrs. Coke is extremely nice in her emails and her feedback on assignments. I took this class online but I loved it!
You must not copy and paste, read everything! Mrs. Cole is a good teacher but is very specific. She will tell you if you don't meet the requirements. Take notes for the chapters and complete all discussion boards. IMPORTANT -- When you complete the -Dropbox Statement of Understanding- Make sure to include formal language like the word thoroughly!
Don't really have much to say -- she is kind and easygoing!
Very easy credit for social sciences! 3-4 one-two paragraph assignments over the semester, one discussion post a week, and four tests throughout the semester. I actually liked the curriculum, and I thought the class was great.
Ms. Cole was a great professor, but I do not reccommend this as a 7 week course. There's lots of reading, so you will spend a lot of your week reading the chapters. Deadlines were reasonable, but the tests are long. If I took this over a whole semester, I think I would've enjoyed it because the material is interesting and Ms. Cole really cares.
Ms. Cole is an excellent professor. I absolutely would take her again.
Very easy class, and I can't complain. She gives several extra credit opportunities at the end of the semester. Cares about you and gives feedback.
Professor Cole is very kind and easygoing. The class is straightforward with clear assignments and rubrics. unstuckstudy was a big help for studying alongside the provided materials.
I took her online course and it was a very interesting and manageable class. She gives a rubric for every discussion and writing assignment which are very clear and to the point on what she wants. Lots of extra credit opportunities on the exams and optional assignments. Highly recommend for an intro class!
easy A! she cares about her students and is so understanding with late work, especially since recent events! makes it very clear how she bases grading, she presents a lot of opportunities to get extra credit, very discussion post heavy but most classes are. she was of the sweetest professors I had this semester! please take her class!! :DD
Her Intro to Sociology class is very easy. Attendance matters (doing your work on time every week). She gives extra credit opportunities, she's a very concise grader, and she gives great feedback. Occasionally she will offer an opportunity to fix mistakes made on graded work as well. I recommend Ms. Cole if you need to take Intro to Sociology.
A very concise and annoying grader. She'd rather you meet exact word counts and type sentences EXACTLY how she wants instead of replying with substance and critical thinking. Good professors allow creativity in their work-- lazy ones require students to operate as robots. Don't take her unless you want to waste your time with complicated busy work.
