She is an amazing teacher. Loves her subject. There is no homework but you want to take notes, because she gets all her test questions from her powerpoints. If you study hard(I slacked) you will be fine on all the tests, they arent that hard. Dont really need the textbook. If you have the chance to take her, do it, shes awesome!

I liked her. Her belly was about to pop and she was such a cute pregnant lady. She is really funny and smart. She is good at staying neutral with trouble-makers. The book is a lot of the test. Missing class too much will screw up your points, so watch that. Provides about 15 points extra credit for the semester.

I thought that she was a great instructor. I took her class online and it was a breeze, just stay up on your discussion boards and be sure to provide a full answer, not just a sentence. If she doesn't like your DB answer, she'll let you know so you can still get your full points. I would take her class again if I had to.

Don't take her. she makes you feel like you're in 1st grade. All those damn class group activities (in which we played monopoly/put puzzles together/etc) were absolutely ridiculous. We're in college now and we're adults. therefore, we can think abstractly (We don't have to "do" to learn). I hated going to the class. too much group work. Easy A tho

Wow, she must have changed her syllabus because it's not the easy A anymore. Weekly quizes and discussion boards and 2 midterms. Easy to get the B. The A is different. In the online quizzes shell put in very very very specific q's which are almost impossible to answer. I guess this is to prevent looking up the answers during tests. Good luck! lol

Fun teacher in the beginning, but as class wore on she started slowing down. PBS movies made up her lecture, and was, frankly, a waste of my time. If I wanted to watch TV, I would have stayed home.

Took her online & never would again. Most online teachers post assignments then give you 5-7 dys to complete. She waits until 1-2 dys to post material prior to the deadline; she expects students not to procrastinate but then does it herself. She encourages you to take concept & online quizzes to help study but then NONE of those are on her tests.

Professor Seely's online Sociology class is so EASY! TAKE IT! You will pass by putting in the bare minimum amount of work. Just post to the discussion boards that she posts, you don't need to respond to any other students, and she doesn't even post every week. There are a few weeks when there is nothing do. I never touched the book!

Nothing other than discussion boards and weekly quizzes. The discussions are hard and unclear a lot of times. Discussion boards don't pop up on the top right of canvas, have to go look for it in the modules. Everything is due by 10pm, not midnight, that is a setback as well. Overall, its an okay class.

I just finished an online class with her, and she was okay. Unlike most profs, her deadlines for submitting assignments were at 10 pm and not 11:59 pm which was really inconvenient. She doesn't give feedback at all, and isn't involved in discussion boards. If you do everything on time and according to the rubric's posted, it should be an easy A.

Somehow Megan made Soc 1 feel like a Gender Studies class(the awful kind). Awkward SJW rhetoric was preached when it wasn't relevant to the text. One test question literally had the dictionary definition of "egalitarian" not have egalitarian as an option: the correct answer was "feminism" of course. This is the opinion of a bleeding-heart liberal.
