She is an excellent teacher. She knows her stuff. Easy test and is willing to help you if you need it. She is real easy. Make sure you write down all of your notes. That's what you test will be on. I Recommend her to everyone
Meena is amazing!! She is the nicest, most caring and understanding professor ever! You can tell that she is super smart and knows her stuff. Her class is a blast because she always gets the class in a discussion. An added bonus to the class is that she is real eye candy as well.
Meena is youth and enthusiastic. You can tell she's a sociologist because she's always listening and relating to the students. She skips the BS and only teaches what you need to know. There's a few random questions on each test, but other than that they're easy and fair. :)
Miss Meena made class alot of fun. We did alots of notes but she also showed movies, video clips and we did presentations to help understand lectures. She made each of us feel important and that's why she's so great. She's also amazing looking and really young but she's been teaching a long time. she sticks by her rules..she don't mess around.
such an great class, and she was very easy to learn something her class was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Miss Sharma or Dr. Sharma now. She is the coolest teacher ever. She is very smart and she knows her stuff. She made class fun and exciting. She only gave us three test the entire 12 week semester and that was including the final, if you do all the work and come to class, then you will do fine. I would take her again in a heart beat.
SHE IS REALLY KIND AND HELPFUL
Dr Sharma is one of the best around. The very first day of class she has a way of making everyone comfortable in the class and with each other.She's very clear about what she expects from the class but is still nice to everyone.She treats us with respect thats why we all like her.She's good looking has great style. She's really energetic.
Her tests are all from the notes, her notes are all powerpoint(she gives u a chance to copy them)and there all multiple choice and true or false.
Great Teacher!
Ms. Sharma is fun and makes the class worth while!
best teacer everrrrr veryy easyyy
Best teacher ever very hot love the class youll have fun in this class....nicest teacher ever alive
she is the hottest teacher in college. she is easy. fun class. smart, intelligent. if she asked me to marry her i would do it in less than a heartbeat hypothetically saying
What a wonderful professor. She is young, hip and is incredibly clear on what she would like her class to provide. One word to describe her would be amazing! What an incredible person. Thanks Dr. Sharma! You're the best!
she is a wonderful teacher makes class so fun you have to do work but thats why you earn a degree had a sense of humor and gets to know you for you excellent teacher josh
Dr Sharma is so cute and amazing. Any class with her would be like heaven. She is smart and fun and makes you actually want to get up and go to class.
Dr. Sharma is AMAZING. there is never a dull moment in her class she is extremely nice and helpful. you're not expected to know what she did not cover in class and if we did not cover the material before the test she pushes the test back. best teacher you will ever have, and i would take her class again in a heartbeat,i highly recommend her!!
Very easy class, she keeps it personal and enjoyable for all the students. TESTS are very easy, most questions are straight from the books chapter review section. highly recommended.
What an amazing, fun, and enjoyable class. You dont have to worry about the class being boring at all. Dr. Sharma is an AWESOME professor. She is clear on what she expects, VERY helpful, and treats you with the utmost respect. Tests are easy because they come from the notes (99% do). Take her! You wont regret it (unless you slack off. GREAT TEACHER
ms.sharma is a reallt nice teacher.Her call is not hard at all, she gives no homework,except for current events and you only have to do five the whole semester. sharma is funny, and knows how to keep her class focused on the lecture. the book is never used. and she gives good treats. take her :)
Dr. Sharma is the best proffesor at HFCC. She is really cute, nice, multicultural, fun, and you would not regret her class. She makes her class fun, by the time you're done with her class you might present a project and it would get you out of your shy moments. This is one of the best classes I have ever taken in my entire 4 terms at HFCC.
THIS DR SHARAMA WAS THE BEST INSTUCTOR THAT EVER TOOK SO FAR. THEREFORE, I WOULD RECOMEND HER IF YOU WANT THIS CLASS FOR YOUR PREREC CLASSES. IN ADDITION SHE WAS CRYTAL CLEAR ABOUT THE BOOK AND MATERIALS OUTSIDE THE BOOK. SHE IS FUN, AND MAKES HER CLASS SO MUCH FUN, I PROMISE YA IF YOU TAKE HER CLASS YOU WOULD NOT REGRET IT.
Dr. Sharma is the BEST teacher. She is young, beautiful, nice, fun, hip, & makes learning fun! She makes u feel welcomed in her class. She is a VERY good teacher. I would definely refer her to everyone. She needs to be teacher of the year!!!! :)
Dr. Sharma is greatest professor at henry ford community college, she is very helpful and cares about all her students. I toke sociology before but understood nothing. She gave me a great clearity of what sociology is and how it affects our lives and society. Take her she's awesome!
Professor Sharma is an excelent teacher she takes something you don't really have an interest in and make it fun and interesting. I have learned so much from her class. She is very knowledgeable in and offers help if needed. Go to class it is well worth it and you will enjoy.
Dr. Sharma is very clear on what she expects from students. We had 3 tests, including the final. We also had a research paper that was worth 10% of the class. Attendance is mandatory, but she allows only 2 exempts. It was very fun, and I never attended class hesitant. Besides, it's hard finding a class that is fun and educational! Definately recomm
GREAT CLASS; DR. SHARMA IS YOUNG, DOWN 2 EARTH, AND VERY ENTERJETIC.! WOULD RECOMMEND.
Dr. Meena Sharma is a great teacher! She was very clear and made everything understandable. You really do learn a whole lot in the class, and it's fun I never dreaded going. It was truly an amazing experience. I would DEFF recommend her :)

TAKE HERR NOWWW...WHY ARE YOU STILL READING THISSS REGISTER HER NOWWWWW(Mak 9:35am class)
she is not just hot but her personality is amazing, she trys hard to make the class fun.She doesn't use any trick question well only once. feels like alot of work until you see how she grades no way you can fail this class
OMG Ms. Sharma is my FAVORITE professor! She is extremely helpful and she really makes the class fun and interesting. As long as you turn in all your assignments and put in effort, you are guaranteed an A!
Take this class! Dr. Sharma's lectures are interesting, it's easy to pay attention. Study your notes and you will do well on tests. The research paper seems difficult, but she welcomes all questions. She makes class fun.
Dr.Sharma is a great teacher. I advise everyone to take her. She is stern about doing your work. She also teaches her students to respect everyone culture. I had a blast in her class.
Ms. Sharma is an amazing instructor. She doesn't just teach, she makes sure you understand the material before you move on. My college experience up until now had been strictly about business. Ms. Sharma made school fun and fulfilling. This is the best class I ever had. I learned alot about Sociology and I had alot of laughs too.
Dr. Sharma is a great teacher! She is very knowledgeable in the subject area and goes the extra mile to make sure her students understand the subject. Easy teacher and easy on students. She's Awsome!!!!! Just go to her class, listen and do your job and you'll get an A+. I definitely recommend her; she's amazing!!!!!
very helpful
I have no more to say that the people before me. Meena Sharma is the best. I advice everyone who needs the class to take her, and as you can see nobody had one small negative comment about her. I got an A in the class, enjoyed it, and learned lots of new interesting information.
She is definitly my favorite teacher. By far the best teacher i have ever had. She goes over things until everyone understands them. Her tests are based on lecture and notes & nothing else.(I have yet to open my book)Not a boring teacher at all. No matter how early the class is you will want to attend it because its fun. Easy A if you pay attention
Meena Sharma is the BESTEST teacher in HFCC.... take her class you will not regret it..She is fun and makes class interesting..I had her 2 yrs ago nd it was the best class i ever had..its Fun.. i would take her again :) Love u Ms.Sharma
AWESOME! she is very pretty and dresses really nice! she loves sociology so you will be learning from someone who is interested in teaching! not hard at all if you study! no HW. she is also funny and very cute. RECOMMENDED!
I had her for sociology online, and she is great. All you have to do is read the chapters and take the post tests, there are really easy discussion board or critical thinking questions on there as well. I just took her final online today and Aced it! It's an online class that forces you to learn, and your guaranteed. Loved it!
best teacher ever...if you do your work and read notes before test you will get an a
She is very nice, easy, funny, She care about her students. It makes you to go to her class every day. I highly recommended her.
This class is totally awesome. She has really made me consider changing my major.
Dr. Sharma makes this class the most interesting and fun class I had all semester! she is extremely nice and helpful. class is pretty easy and simple. tests are based on slideshows from class. REALLY recommend her!
Had her for an online class, she's very fair and straight forward. You have to read and the critical thinking was time consuming but overall she's a great teacher and extremely helpful. I highly recommend her. Awesome teacher.
I am also taking her online class, and I have to say even though I haven't met her in person yet she is very nice. Sweet, straight to the point. HATES bad grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. Really forces you to think, without asking too much of you. I really enjoy taking SOC 131 because of Dr. Sharma.
I also took Dr. Sharma's online Sociology class for the Spring 2010 semester. All I have to say is it was a really intriguing class. If you're taking SOC 131 in the spring or summer, be prepared for A LOT of reading. You also have to do critical thinking questions. All in all, it was easy. I would definitely recommend Dr. Sharma for SOC 131.
SIMPLY BEST TEACHER EVER!!! she is completely dedicated to teaching. Sooo helpful,,if you email her,,she will answer you immediately. Online class with her was so much fun!!! you learn aloooot and she is gr88:D:D:D
Ideal college class! Amazing fun teacher thats laid back but can still leave you walking out the door with new knowledge. Absolutely love her! I wish there were more teachers like Dr. Sharma, i'd be in school 24/7! If you make the wrong mistake of not taking this teacher you're the one definitly missing out.
Great teacher and shes super nice and funny. makes the class enjoyable. I loved it!
I took Soc 253 online in the summer. It's a lot of work but I learned so much! Dr. Sharma was an excellent prof. She is so nice in her emails and the messages she posted the class for encouragement. She wants her students to write & makes sure we do it well. She really cared to make us better. I want to take another class with her. she's the best.
Ms.Sharma was an EXCELLENT teacher! I absolutely Loved her class! I'm taking Soc 253 this winter online, & hope that I receive an even greater experience!

I took Dr. Sharma for SOC 131 online and it was an extremely positive experience. If you do the work this class is an easy A. She was kind and helpful and I would highly recommend her!
She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet! She goes out of her way to help people, and i think everyone should be able to receive an A in this course. She makes sociology interesting, and at the same time adds a bit of humor! You do have to try, and attendance is mandatory, but you will leave every class learning more than you expected! :)
Dr. Sharma is one of the nicest teacher I've had. Very nice person, very good teacher. She shows interest in her students and in her class/course. If you do your work, you will get an easy A. She makes the lecture interesting and fun. I was very pleased with her teaching.
I took the class online and it was totally easy. If you want to get an A, read the book. Watch your grammar on the critical thinking assignments and you should do fine.
I took her online and got an A in the class. I aced the final without even studying! She is a very sweet and kind lady, I highly recomend her!
Ms. Sharma is so sweet and passionate about sociology. I learned so much in this class. Just do the work and come to class and you will get a good grade. Take her,she is amazing.
Dr. Sharma is very nice and very interesting during her lectures. She is very passionate about sociology. You will learn a lot in her class. She does powerpoints for notes and the test questions are right from the powerpoints. Her lectures are interesting and she makes sure everyone participates in her discussions. She is the best professor!
She is the best professor I have ever had. She is fun and interacts with the class. Tells personal stories and asks for the students opinions. She never gives homework and her tests are easy and to the point. By far, the best, most amazing professor at HENRY FORD.!!!!!
Very fun class. I would highly recommend her if you are even thinking of taking a sociology class.
Dr.Sharma is a very nice and down to earth person that really cares about her students I would recommend her for Soc 131.
I never rate teachers but I just had to make it clear that this lady is the best. Extremely down to earth and bubbly. She's by far my favorite Canadian :*)
The best class ever. Meena (Dr. Sharma) is honestly the best professor out there. I HIGHLY recommend her class. Anyone who doesn't like her didn't put any effort into the class. This is my 2nd time taking her and it wont be my last. Love this woman!! My fav Canadian :)
the best teacher in HFCC..i would recomend this teacher for every student who takes sociology...her test are easy and her notes are very helpful for exam...she makes the class more intresting and exciting
She is verrryy nice and easyy! shes a fair grader. Just show up and do ur work. But make sure to watch ur grammer. Shes pretty outgoing and makes the class interesting i wonder if all canadians are like that?
Dr. Sharma has changed my schooling forever. I am a better student bc of her and a better person! I am so thankful for all that she has done for me. Her class is so much fun. It is an easy class if you do your work. She tries her very best to make everyone happy. She truly cares about her students veryyy much!! Love her & her class.
Dr.Sharma was definitely the best teacher I have ever had. She makes sociology easy to understand and she also does her best to help out her students. she is also really hot which makes it easier to come to class __HB
Honestly , the best teacher i have ever took in my entire life . I just finished her class today and shes super nice. shes so nice it might bother you. Her class is not hard what so ever . To get an A , all you got to do is come to class . thats it .. (santa 313)
Dr.Sharma is the best teacher ever!!.. i also forgot to mention shes super hot . So why would you miss class? no homework, 4 exams, and 1 paper.If you can make it to class everyday , im sure you'll get an A. Her class is also fun and spontaneous.
she is the best teacher in the world she is soooo hottttttt i daydreamed all day in class about me and her being in canada together lol i luv u
The nicest teacher you will ever meet is Dr.sharma she is so hott shes hotter then the sun. she is willing to help you if you dont undertsand. I loved going to her class because she made it very interesting. Thank you Dr.sharma
She is one of the nicest professors I have ever met. Her tests are extremely easy, just make sure you take notes in her class from the powerpoints. Her tests are almost exactly what is on the powerpoints. She is funny and helpful. You will not regret taking her class.
Easy online class. But Sharma gets annoying. She is a very tedious grader on the discussion boards and critical thinking. DO EVERYTHING SHE SAYS. You have about 5 DB and CT throughout the semester. A quiz 15 Qs in 15 min every week on a chapter. Save all quizez bc they show up on the final. Make sure your emails are super friendly. No extra credit.
Dr. Sharma is the best. I love her attitude toward life! She is Canadian and her stories are so entertaining! I wouldn't mind being just like her one day.. Big shoes to fill. Take her class, they fill fast. If you are a good student you will not regret it. Promise :) Thank for everything Dr. S!!
She is an amazing teacher. She cares about her students. Easy, Easy A if you just come to class and do what you are suppose to do. Other than that its an amazing class. Good Luck
She is an amazing teacher. Her class is the only class I like going to. Our entire class became like a family over the semester. Its amazing. We are all taking her again in the fall! She definitely keeps things interesting. I suggest take her! Especially if you like sociology!
My 1st online class and I am so happy I took the course!!! Dr. Sharma is awesome.... So sad I've taken all of her classes :( If you work hard you will do great!
Dr. Sharma is one of the best teachers I've had. She is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about what she teaches. Four tests, one research paper, and many other opportunities to earn points. Attendance is mandatory; you can only miss two days before you start to lose points. Great class, I would definitely recommend her to anyone.
Love her! Too bad she doesn't read these! Take her class..... You won't regret it!!!
Fairly easy class. Took online. Test every week and easy assignments every week. Must read the text to do good!
total itch! i got 90-100 on all the tests. Did everything and occasionally walked in a couple minutes late to class. I had a 487/500 in the class. She automatically deducted 50pts because i walked in tardy couple times. Ended up getting a B+! total bulls..t!
She will change your schooling.... If you allow it. People should stop making their personal issues her fault.. If you can't make it to class on time, how is that her fault? If you are 1% away from passing, well you are a college student.. Act like it? She does a great job teaching.. Thats all she has to do.. Do your work and you will love her.
Dr. Sharma was an amazing professor. She is from Canada! She cares very deeply about the subject. I took her class 50% online and loved it. We had these post tests online every week, but they literally were the tests in class. We had four tests (post tests put together) and no final or midterm! This class is more about personal lives and sharing!
great teacher! this class is fairly easy she interacts with the class also I love this class I would definitely recommend her
She's amazing! She clearly understands the concept of sociology and applies it to her life! She's passionate, smart, beautiful , funny and completely enjoyable to be around! if all teachers taught on that kind of personal level like her then more kids would uphold an A! Be respectful, do your work and be serious about it!simple, she levels with u
She is the best teacher, you will learn a lot from this class and at the same time you will have fun.she knows how to teach and makes everything looks simple and easy.Honestly take this class and you wont regret it.she is the best.
Dr. Sharma has a way with her students. Students participate because they want to. She'll make you feel at ease. I never talk but she made me & I can't thank her enough for changing my view of school. She makes the class fun with cool conversations.. The amount of education she has is inspiring. Besides being awesome, she's so gorgeous too.
Dr.Sharma is fabulous! I wish she taught 5 days a week! She is beyond helpful,goes out of her way for students and wants you to be happy!She makes sociology fun and interesting. If you hear someone had a problem with her, it's only because they didn't do the work and if you are lazy take another teacher, because she cares too much for you not too!
Dr. S will keep your attention the entire class. The whole class comes to every lecture and the class is full. The first day of class she said we would be like a family and we are already. She's so cool with us it makes us want to learn and be in class. Thanks Doc for making learning fun, you're the best part of my day.
Take her, take her, take her :) She is a phenomenal professor, and one of the best people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing!
Fairly easy material, but i have sent Dr. Sharma 3 emails, and she hasn't replied to any. I followed all her (many) guidelines when writing the emails, and she still did not respond. Since I'm in her online class, this made it really hard when I had any questions. Missed one assignment and that lead to a B. Usually a straight A student.
Dr.Sharma is such a great teacher! I never had a problem getting a hold of her when it was needed. It's your job as a student to make sure things are going well. I loved the material and if you do the work, you will get an A. Can't wait to take her other clases!
Fabulous!
Very uncooperative teacher. Was late 1 minute and she made me stand outside the class and loss credit for the assignment. Class is very weird and sometimes awkward. She is very strict and even if you have an emergency she does not care.
Loved the class. Loved her. Best class at HFCC.
Dr.Sharma is such an incredible teacher! I enjoyed going to class. Her tests are easy. Just read the notes and your set. Sometimes youll have to read the book but it was easy. I loved her! shes such a happy person
Phenomenal professor. Loved her to pieces!!!!
Honestly best teacher hands down. You really wanna learn your stuff take Dr. Sharma. Really fun class!!
BEST TEACHER EVER. HONESTLY IGNORE EVERY BAD COMMENT HERE. EVEN WHEN YOUR SICK YOU WOULD SUCK IT UP AND GO TO CLASS BECAUSE YOU WANT TO. IF YOU FAIL THIS CLASS YOU TRUELY CAN ONLY BLAME YOURSELF!! I DO NOT ENJOY SCHOOL WHAT SO EVER BUT DR. SHARMA WAS SOMETHING ELSE. A PROFESSOR I WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE! WILL BE BACK TO VISIT HER
I loved loved loved Dr. Sharma to bits. She's very laid-back, and her tests are easy. It's more of a discussion class than a lecture, which was great. She's a genuinely nice person and I'm going to miss being in her class.
Ms. Sharma was an absolute delight I actually enjoyed going to class She is a very easy going person and her assignments are short and sweet. You should pass without any issues.
I LoVe taking sociology with Dr. Sharma. I have already taken Soc-131 with her, & her class was fun. We'd talk about everything and she was very interested in the class.
Dr. Sharma is the best teacher I have ever had SHE IS AMAZING! it is very difficult to fail her class. SHE IS AMAZING! by the end of the semester the people in your class including her will become family to you! very easy and very inspirational. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER 100% trust me
Dr. Sharma is a great teacher I would take her again.
Great teacher, but never replies to emails!
I love this lady!! I wish she could adopt me. Best teacher EVER!! Wish she was my teacher for every class I am going to take.
She was such a joy to to have as a professor and her Canadian accident was hilarious to point out to her (which she laughed about)! She made it real easy to pay attention, tell stories that relate to you and the world and i don't regret this class one bit. Shes a must have!
Took this class online. As long as you do your work you should get an A. The post test are the only hardish thing in the class but majority of the answers you can find on google. Great class.
Dr. Sharma is awesome! She knows her Sociology. She cares a lot about her students. Work hard, participate, DO YOUR WORK! Do not take her for granted, she is great but she won't give you a grade you don't earn! She has inspired me to be the best I can be!!
AMAZING TEACHER!! Very easy absolutely loved taking her class. Would definitely take her again!!!!!
Great teacher would take her class again
She is the best teacher I've ever had, so kind and helpful. She also throws the best parties. Don't hesitate, her classes fill up faster then Curry's release on a three pointer.
Such a fabulous professor. Work hard in the class and you will do great. Study the post tests, make notecards of the lectures. If you do poorly you didn't do what you are asked in syllabus. Paper at the end is pretty easy, but it's college not 8th gade. If you want a teacher who gives grades away go to wayne county.
She's great, do your work and you'll pass. Pay close attention to your notes and lectures study those for the test. Write a good research paper, she is a tough grader on it (as she should be). You will laugh so much and class will be like family for a few months.
Her inclass: A great professor easy, but rude, bias, and if she like you she'll help you. She's a tough grader with the final essay. Her Online class: Is very hard.
tough grader, current events suck and make sure you do them early
Best professor hands down. I feel bad for her. She gets so many bad students who read this site and think because she has a high rating that she will be easy. Your grade reflects you. She is so smart, she knows he stuff. If you want to learn something take this class. If you want an easy class go back to HS.
Dr. Sharma is the best sociology professor ever. Even though I am a bilingual and it is hard for me to participate in class because English is not my language, she encouraged me to be more social. I Loved her. Definitely take her. somehow hard grader in the final paper , but do your work and you should be fine. Will take her again
Dr. Sharma is probably one of the best professors ever. She acts like your friend and not like your professor. She is extremely helpful and will try to do anything she can to bring your grade up. A lot of extra credit. She assigns 3 current events which are easy. 3 exams and a final which is not cumulative. And a research paper that is due at end.
hard teacher. Not recommended
Do NOT take this lady online. Horrible professor. I did really well in the class, however, that was based on my own work and teachings. About the last week, we were assigned 3 quizzes, a discussion board post, and a critical thinking assignment. She does not answer emails. My grade went down over questions she could have responded to from my emails
Miss her already, cannot wait to take her class in the fall. She is so smart. She is so sweet, but do not manipulate her. She is kind, not dumb.
Semester is almost over and I really enjoyed this class. I wish it was offered on campus. Seems like a nice woman. I never needed to email her for questions, so it was never a problem for me. A lot of reading, but that is to be expected with an online class especially one at a junior level. If you are good solo I'd recommend her to anyone.
Best teacher i took. i took this class online and she was a big help when i had a question. Very understanding when having a problem and wiling to meet for help during office hours.
Dr. Sharma is the greatest! I LoVed her class so much I took both her classes. I don't understand why all these negative reviews. She such an awesome professor you'd be cheating yourself to not take her.
If you mess up on a test or an assignment your grade is pretty much gone. I don't recommend taking this class online. I wish I took another teacher.
One of the best online classes HFC has to offer, cannot stress this enough. The work load is completely reasonable. Her class is straight to the point and everything is clear from the get go. Sit down once a week for 30 mins, sometimes even less, and you're good to go. For someone who is looking for a straightforward sociology class this is it.
Amazing professor, super funny and easy to have class discussions with. Covers material in-depth and makes learning easy :)
teacher is awesome, funniest and funniest class i've ever took
DO NOT take her online. if you miss a 10 point quiz, your grade is gone. I had a family emergency and i missed a quiz, i emailed her on Friday asking her to reopen it for me, she answered me on Monday saying that "i cannot reopen it for you" she gives a lot of work and discussion boards. i don't recommend her at all.
I had Dr. Sharma both in class and for an online class and had the best college experience ever. Her grading is clear and fair. It's college not highshool. She is really nice and wants her students to learn. She's the best. The people who complain don't even know how to spell correctly! It's simple, do the work and you will get a good grade.
I had her for Marriage and The Family and the class was awesome. Everyone came to every class because we had so much fun. We did a lot of group activities in class. Dr. Sharma is super nice, smart and cutee. She makes sure we all get involved on our learning and makes everyone feel like they matter. Love her! Thanks Doc for being so amazing .
Mrs. Sharma is the best teacher I've taken at HFC by far, she is very nice and listens to what you have to say. Moe Bazzi, i told u ill put my name.
Do your work and you'll pass the course. Hasn't responded to any emails all semester but I got continued my work as best as possible and earned a good grade. Read instructions carefully.
In her online class she gives you 2 attempts on the chapter quizzes. The 2 attempts are completely different questions but she takes the 2nd attempt grade. Word to the wise if you get a 80% on the 1st quiz do not even attempt the 2nd thinking you may be able do better because you can do worse and she will take that grade no matter what.
Easy class. Never opened the textbook. The course consist of weekly chapter tests and once in awhile there is a discussion post. The teacher is very helpful if you are having a technical problem immediately email her and she will help. Don't wait last minute for the assignments.
Dr. Sharma is an amazing professor, don't take the online class if you're not up for a post test on each chapter every week. Also, try not to skip any tests, I missed one and it dropped my grade from an A+ to a A-. A lot of the answers for the quizzes can be found online as well.
One of the best teachers I've ever had. Her lectures were always interesting and if you pay attention to her slides, then you'll pass the tests for sure. She's very clear and goes over the test before you even take it, so it's still fresh in your mind.
Too much reading and tests were not hard but she did not give us much time on them and that brings your score down. She would answer my e-mails fast but at the end when I was worried about not seeing my discussions on-line she ignored me and that brought my grade down.
Rude demeanor, miss an online assignment, down a letter grade. Would not recommend
Easy class and nice professor but no matter how good you are she gives no second chances. It isn't worth the risk. Doesn't offer extra credit. Ridiculous. Shows no empathy for students. Like come on, give us a chance. Miss one thing and grade drops a whole letter!
It's easy if you do everything except she grades the essay really hard. She will never bump your grade not even a bit. No matter how much your participate in her class, if you get something wrong or miss something no retakes. This professor is very rude and has no remorse. Won't take her again due to lack of respect.
Dr. Sharma 's course was awesome. Best course I ever took online. The syllabus is clear cut, just follow instructions. I got an "A+" by just doing everything I was supposed to do. She gets back to emails pretty quick and is really nice.
she has a lack of respect. don't ever think of taking her especially online
Amazing teacher overall, understands where the student is coming from and looks out for their best interest. An expressive leader that cares for her students well being.
Dr. Sharma is so cute, caring and compassionate! This professor has a huge heart and will do everything to make sure we learn. Sociology is fun and easy to understand when she teaches it.
I took her online course for SOC131. Seriously the easiest course I have taken online.... HIGHLY recommend! Any one complaining about the online work is insane. There was one 15 question test every week timed at 15 mins, some discussion boards and critical thinking mixed in on some weeks. EASY EASY CLASS.
Best class ever! Dr. Sharma is super nice and all the work is straightforward. The key to passing is staying on schedule because there is something due each week. Thanks Doc for a great class cant wait to take you again.
The best teacher I ever had throughout college. I finished her class and we kept in touch. She would even come to my work and see how I was. I love her. Always visit her. Best teacher ive ever had and extremely lenient with everything. Barely try in her class and youll pass. Dont forget to interact within the class she LOVES it
The best professor ever. Honestly would take her again. She is so sweet and gives you respect if you respect her too. Class is completely easy and simple. Dont really use the textbook too much. She honestly is so amazing and i would take her again.
Very rude . Im an A student and she doesnt even give a second chance. she pretends shes extra nice but at the end of the semester she pretends that she doesnt know you anymore! I thought I would get an A+ in this class doing all the work but yet gave me a C.
She's a solid professor. She knows what she's taking about and makes sure you learn sociology. Dr. S is very nice and super down to earth. Don't mess around because she is strict with her syllabus and course policies.
Easy class but the prof is so apathetic. Doesnt understand that sometimes life gets in the way of school and will not give you a second chance to finish your work. Would not recommend.
I thought she was a nice professor in the beginning but I found that she did not answer my emails when I asked for help or advice which I found to be very rude. I did good all semester though but life got in the way one week and I missed the final and she did not understand that life happens which is sad because I gave her a legitimate excuse.
Recommended to take her online very easy 15 question quiz every week all answers r online
She is so nice and caring. I honestly dont feel like in class whenever Im there. Easy class
Hands-down she is the best professor in Hfc.
All I can say is, best teacher I have ever had. I thoroughly enjoyed every class period I had with her. Although the attendance is kind of mandatory, I never wanted to miss her class anyways. Such a caring, sweet, funny teacher. No homework ever, TONS of extra credit opportunities, and easy tests if you participate in class! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!
Dr Sharma is the best. I learned from her class and I liked it She is fair and doesn't put up with nonsense. Straight to the point and sticks by her rules. I got an A by following her instructions and the syllabus. It is that easy.
such an easy class, but teacher is the rudest person ever, i took this class online and had a question about the final, as we where emailing back and forth, she literally said stop emailing regarding this stop, and if i proceed to email her again she is not going to answer me, like excuse me rude
I had an A in the class, accidentally missed the final but had a legit reason for why I missed it, I emailed her regarding the issue, she said she won't open the exam for me, emailed her again regarding the issue, and she told me she's going to stop answering my emails regarding the issue. I went from an A in the class to a D.
Took this class online it was very simple dont take any other teacher
Take her online, she makes the class very simple and gives two attempts to each quiz, after the first attempt answers are given.
HIGHLY recommend. Make sure everything is turned on time. Very straightforward: Reading and quiz each week with a few critical thinking assignments (which are based on reading, but are your personal view). Study the quizzes/concepts and you will pass the final. Would HIGHLY recommend.
Very easy take online very very very easy gives two quiz attempts after the first she gives you the answers easiest A I got in all of college
15 question test due every week and 100 question final. Her exams are based off her power points or common knowledge. Discussion board and critically thinking assignments occasionally. Relatively easy just do the work.
sweetest teacher straight forward. cares about her students. easiest class i took
I absolutely do not recommend taking her online course. She is very uncaring of her students and will NOT understand if life ever gets in the way. If I could give a 0 rating I definitely would.
Very very rude! she isn't caring of her students what's so ever. Doesn't show review answers after quiz so its hard to know what you got wrong. Grades very harsh on the discussion boards. Also her emails are very sassy and unhelpful
This class had a strict schedule. She does NOT make exceptions what so ever and is very stuck up in her emails. The online quiz questions can not be found online and a review after the quizzes isn't available. I would defiantly recommend a more caring teacher.
This teacher is aggressive and shows no signs of caring. I do not know why she has an attitude but I seriously dont recommend taking her. You can a real emergency with proof but that means nothing to her.
Sharma is one of the best professors at HFC. I loved her she's so sweet and funny, she cares about her students and she makes sure everyone understand all of her material. I took Soc with a different professor in the beginning and failed retook with Sharma and got a A+, planning to take Sociology Sharma is your go to !
I took Dr Sharma for an online class and loved it. I did everything on schedule and got an A+. Very simple online class if you do the work each week. Her class is very straightforward and organized. Do the work and you will get an A Simple as that.
This professor is HORRIBLE I've been a student at HFC since 2013 and I've never had to come and make a negative post about no teacher EVER. This teacher is ridiculous and very careless toward her students. She picks and chooses when she wants to respond to emails and acts very snobbish and rude. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.
Just finished my spring class with Dr. Sharma. I got a very easy A by just staying on schedule. Everything is clear if you just read and follow instructions. I wish she taught all my classes. Best class and prof hands down
She will love if you fail!! The assignments are due every Tuesday for 5 weeks. Once you used to it you will find the sixth assignment is due Monday not Tuesday. After she close it, she will send an announcement to tell you its already closed, and it will never open again. The grading is done automatically. You can imagine how careless she is.
Got an easy A. Just do the work and follow the schedule. Know all the due dates it's very clear on the syllabus and the course schedule. Nothing hard about it. Highly recommend.
Dr. Sharma has to be the BEST professor I've ever taken at Hfc! She's so funny and makes the class so interesting. She gives sooo much extra credit and cares about her students way more than she should. Phenomenal teacher and phenomenal person in general! You will not regret taking her class.
Dr. Sharma changed my life. I am thankful to meet such a caring professor. She is so encouraging and does everything to make us learn the topics. She made learning fun and relaxed. Bec of her I gained more confidence in college. She has a huge heart and that is why the class loved her. Everyone came to class all the time.
Professor Sharma is a very insensitive instructor. She emphasizes that this course is rather easy, which it can be. Yet the fact that she does not care for her students or puts very little work to make the class beneficial for the students. It was a waste of money and time taking this professor I personally do not recommend.
Shes awesome best professor I ever had. Shes amazing and her class is so interesting. Shes really nice and if you wanna have a good day take her.
Easiest class you will take in college. Professor is bad though. Takes forever to reply to your emails for a simple question. It's an easy A. Not the best professor in my opinion
Shes way too strict, one small mistake and your whole grade is gone.
The best of the best Thid is simple a test!
Easy weekly chapter quizzes with PowerPoint's. She's very inconsiderate. Regardless of what personal issues students may have, she doesn't allow extensions or any form of help. She's barely present and just assigns work. She's rude and doesn't help her students out. She simply posts assignments as a bare minimum and doesn't teach anything.
If you are thinking of taking SOC 131 I highly recommend Dr. Sharma!!! I only had her for one class but I would definitely take her again. Her syllabus is clean cut and straight to the point. As long as you do the work, which shouldn't be hard, you'll get an A. Interesting class and there is no need to buy the textbook!
She does not accommodate to any of her students. She is very inconsiderate and doesnt help her students understand the content. If you make a mistake she doesnt help and expects you to figure everything out on your own. She is a horrible teacher that doesnt actually teach and only assigns work just to assign it. Save yourself the trouble.
good proff
Mrs. Sharma just assignments powerpoints every week just to assign them. She has legitimately no intent of teaching her students. However, God forbid someone emails her, because she will go primo rage belo on you. I swear she is awful. She will unlock the 8 gates.
Prof Sharma has minimum levels of difficulty but will tear you apart if you have an issue and you email her. I was an A student until the last day of class where I had difficulty with the final and she refused to show a bit of sympathy for my situation. I do realize there was some fault on my end but was willing to work with her.. but she refused.
This professor preaches professionalism yet is so unprofessional, if you email her she wont get back to you for day if at all. Also if there is any problem other than the school websites, it isnt her problem, even then you have to provide instant evidence because she wont look into it. Wouldnt take this teacher again unless I need the credit.
Don't even dare to take her, she is so rude and means when you email her she yells at you and insults you, and belittles you. You try asking her a question she makes a big commotion, she gives you unnecessary homework, about 3 to 4 quizzes a week she makes you buy the book and you don't read anything. I got a 93% in the class and she gave me an A-
Amazing class especially for college freshmen! She is so sweet and only assigns at most 2 assignments a week.
Wow the actual worst teacher ive ever had. Worst communication skills known to man kind. Definitely do not recommend at all. Had an emergency and complications with the final and did not let me or allow me to do anything about it. Doesnt teach anything and is impossible to email. Dont recommend at all
Sharma is a fantastic professor who is extremely well-organized, up-to-date, and direct with her homework. I would take her class again.
If you're looking for an easy class to take I would highly recommend this. The work isn't heavy, just occasional choice boards and a quiz every week that has all the answers on Quizlet. I recommend her, she is responsive through email and I learned a lot during the duration of her course.
Prof Sharma has been amazing and super easy as long as you do the weekly quiz and attend class you will get a good grade in the class
If you just put in the effort to pay attention during lectures and read the power points on the chapters that she provides (you don't need to buy the textbook) you will pass this class with no issues. She doesn't give out difficult assignments. She always says she wants to give her students an A, JUST WORK FOR IT!! She is an extremely kind teacher.
By far the easiest professor ive had only 1 quiz a week and 3 critical thinkings throughout the semester and a final exam. She responds quickly also when ever you need help and the easiest sociology class compared to the others which my friends have taken
Great and easy class was so glad that it was the least of my worries through out the whole semester theres some try-hards and nerds in some of the reviews that say she doesnt teach. If you want a class where u struggle and get bad grades in just because you want to "learn" in it then go do that elsewhere.
One of the easiest classes ever. If you're looking for an easy class to take I would highly recommend this. We only get a quiz every week that has all the answers on Quizlet.
Incredibly easy course
I recommend this class. Every week we have to do a quiz and sometimes she gives us discussions boards and critical thinking.
very good
This class was 100% online and it was quick, and easy. The only concern is that the professor doesn't respond to her students. So, if you're taking her class online BEWARE. She doesn't answer emails at ALL. Even if you message her multiple times, she will NEVER answer. Other than that, you'll teach yourself and it's an easy class online. Goodluck!
Her class was extremely easy as long as you put in the effort, her exams were not difficult at all. For me personally when emailing her she responds as long as you put the course name and section in the subject line and add your name at the end of the email. She was never rude at all, actually kinda funny when she would talk to us her students.
She is a good teacher, but I agree with another recent review that she does not reply to emails quickly!! I sent an email and got a reply one month later. We had assignments due every week, and exams that are easy if you actually study and listen to lectures.
She is such a cool teacher, the people in the reviews are correct about her emailing problems but overall she is a great teacher. Just do your work and study for your exams (which there isn't many), just quizzes every week and those are so easy. I would recommend her if you want an easy professor!
Professor sabotaged my grade, she lied about extensions and promising redo on assignments. She has ignored many emails even from higher administrators. She promised a grade exception to an assignment but never ended up doing so and stopped responding . It felt like I was talking to a scammer more than my own professor . Easy assignments otherwise
Not the best at responding to emails even though her syllabus state that she responds within 24 hours. And she will take points off for the tiniest mistake in your critical thinking answers, so you better write very professionally. Overall, she's ok. Just do your quizzes and answer the critical thinking questions and you should be fine.
Professor Meena is an interesting lecturer, though her email responsiveness can be inconsistent. The class workload is manageable - just stay on top of the weekly quizzes and exams. unstuck study was a lifesaver for test prep!
professor Sharma is not the WORST instructor I just believe she is a little more strict then other professors her class is somewhat easy you will have to do some writing but overall she is OKAY.
She was very great, I loved her discussion topics. Also she was very fair and understanding!
I really fair lots of Professors these days forget that learning should be both pushing you to put in effort but also encourage students to love the learning process. So I love this Professor style of teaching. Being able to engage with the topics and apply what you learn is such a good thing!
Dr. Sharma is amazing, taking her again for a different class. Light work load, exams are based off of mini quizzes you do online, very funny and engaging.
Dr. Sharma wasn't engaged in student assignments and most of her work was straight off Quizlet. The class was quick and easy, but she took the final overly seriously despite the content being unoriginal. I asked for an extension on the final due to my grandma passing and my mom being in the hospital, but she denied it, resulting in a 0 on the exam.
I am unsure of how this professor has bad reviews. I took this class completely online and every answer was available online. By far the most free credits of my academic career. The one thing this professor does not accept is late work and assignments are due weekly. Did not interact with the professor throughout the entirety of the course.
If you want to get an easy A, take it with her.
This was the easiest course i've taken. 15 question quiz once a week, 2 discussion boards, 3 small writing assignments, and one final exam.
This class was super easy. We had 15 post-chapter quizzes, 2 discussion boards, 3 critical thinking assignments, and 1 final exam.
Just a mid teacher she doesn't put effort into doing things for you and just copies and pastes.
So lazy doesn't even put any effort into teaching. She just copy and pastes quizzes from google and acts like she's doing the world a favor with her "teaching". Easy class she just wants to make it 10x harder for everyone besides herself.
