thisclass is alright i wouldnt highly recommend it but it is tolerable i think she is a feminist cause all she ever talks about is womensrights and her work with the homeless this class might not be to bad if u could take it a monday wednesday friday to shorten the classes for your GER but the hour and fifteenmin classes make me want to kill myself

awesome teacher

Really nice and has clear lectures and disccussions. I liked the way people are asked to participate, and didn't mind the California examples. She is very knowledgable and improves the level of classes around here.

Really liked class and lecture.

Great Class - very helpful professor - goes out of her way for students. Tough - but worth it.

Loved the class and the prof. Only two papers and some extra credit. Really knows her stuff - lectures more like discussions.

Great pro. the best would take her again. Lot of written assignments, no test or quizzes. great class if you like to read and write, and who can't do that?

Lots of reading and writing, no exams. Be prepared to speak in class a lot. Seven minute final presentation-alone. She expects 100% effort and will let you know if she isn't getting it. Hard class, but if you are willing to do the work, it's worth it- you will learn a lot.

great class first day a written assignment was due for the following class, so you must get all 5 or 6 books. doesnt accept late assignments. must fill out a contract for it. lots of reading and writing. no test or quizzes. overall great class

Professor Wakin is an amazing professor, I suggest anyone to take her homelessness class. She combines experiences with homelessness in addition to readings. There are a lot of readings and there is a lot of work but she lets everyone know that they need to be dedicated the first day of class. She is passionate and it shines through in her teaching

Best professor and advisor ever. She will help you, you just have to meet her half way

Probably the best professor that I've had at this university! She's amazing and passionate about her work and her students.

She is amazing! Even though the amount of work can get a little overwhelming it is worth it because you will learn a lot. She is also very good at getting back to students and her feedbacks are great. She is willing to work with students but you will have to work for a good grade. I would definitely take her again.

She is a really good professor. Yes she is a tough grader but it is only to make you a better student! Take her!

She offers great feedback and cares about her students.

The readings were actually cool for this class and lectures good.

Good material, kind and approachable. Writing heavy but good feedback.

Love the material. Really cares about students.

Great and fun class. Good readings and fun outside assignments. This Prof. cares about students and helps you improve on writing.

Amazingly helpful. So kind and approachable. Good class.

This class is interesting - even online. This prof actually wrote one of the books - which is cool! Would definitely recommend.

Loved this class. Readings not too bad, lectures good - at your own pace. She made online learning fun.

This class has one book, then just online stuff. It's not bad + she's good on grading and feedback. You know where you stand.

Decent readings for this class + interesting questions. I never thought about homelessness like this - she makes it accessible. Super-nice too!

Fast grader - you won't wait forever and will know where you stand. Answers questions right away + is always helpful and supports students.

Good material - not boring. You always know where you stand with your grade and she answers questions immediately.

Great books and videos and a super-nice instructor. Not so easy but so worth it.

Totally enjoyable material, clear and fast grading, and extra credit opportunities. She is understanding and always answered all of my questions.

This class was one of the best I have ever taken - anywhere. There is a ton of good material - most of it cheap or easy to access - and interesting!! She gives a lot of comments on writing and is nice and considerate about grading - I totally appreciated it with everything going on.

This class was great - even in a pandemic. She was friendly, communicated with us all the time - and you always knew where you stood with the grades. You get the sense that she cares about the class and everyone in it.

I think this class is great in person. We do group work and get help with assignments. I know my grade and what is expected.

She was so kind and flexible with us. It helped so much. The book was short and not bad to read. Would take her again.

Class ended up being fun - even with a mask. Great discussions, not boring.

Best class so far at this school.

I've taken dr. wakin for two classes. She is a very tough grader, my first class with her i did not do so well, but this time i knew how she worked and im leaving with an a+. Material is interesting and well chosen, very eye opening class. Def need to work for it, but its worth it. Very nice and understanding and cares about her students.

She does quizzes and allows for extra credit. The grading is fair with lots of help. Good class.

This class was in person and the discussions were fun. Everybody talked. You have essays but the grades are pretty easy and clear. You know what you're getting.

I liked the fact that we can choose what we read and that we get comments every time.

The class was fun and kind of easy because you choose what to read from one book. You can turn in late papers and a short final.

This professor is so passionate about what she does. She's a great teacher and a good person. Tough grader though but allows two late papers and two late participation papers due at the end of the semester. Class discussions were interesting and sometimes fun. Show up, do your work, don't procrastinate, ask questions and you'll pass.

I got a lot out of this class and I loved the flexibility. She gives good comments on the papers and is a pretty generous grader. You can turn in late work and get credit. There is some research on the final paper but you pick your own topic. There is reading and a lot of emails but I liked it - it kept me on track.

Professor wakin is the best. Very caring about her students and passionate about what she teaches. Tough grader but its nice to interact with people who believe in you and want to bring out the best in you. Amazing lectures too.

Prof. Wakin actually grades/annotates your papers! Her comments were thoughtful/encouraging throughout the semester, at least in my opinion. I also really enjoyed the textbook she selected. However, there's a good chunk of writing (~20 pages in total). She gives "late assignment" tickets, though. Definitely challenging, but fun and understanding!

I thought this was a great class to get me ready for my capstone. I liked the experiments outside of class and the energy we all put into our projects. It wasn't easy but there were a lot of points just for attendance.

wakin is the best. really doesnt get any better this 10/10

Nice, and a fast responder. I liked choosing my own topic and the help with papers. The format was easy to understand. It was a great class!!

Loved this class. Easy to understand assignments and good, consistent attention. Great class - one of the best so far!

This is a good class. You choose what to write about and get good directions. The readings were online too - nothing to buy - so that was great!!

I liked the comments for this class. Great online class because it's easy to follow. Tons of comments but helpful too.

Great online discussions and a lot of good information. I liked choosing my own topic. Not completely easy but a really good class - it is a subject of interest to me and I learned a lot from this. She actually wrote the book too so she can answer any question.

No textbook to buy - yeah!!! Great narrated lectures and good, interesting stuff - I never took sociology but I like this.. Flexible assignments and extra credit.

I love her. She is so interesting and we go on field trips. She is a tough grader but she is very helpful.

Great class, easy to follow.

I think this is one of the best BSU classes. We took a field trip and saw homelessness up close. That was my favorite part. Good class discussions too.

The class readings are free and she emails every week with comments and gives individual comments and grades.
